Nanxing didn't come to this Cai Tong first to ask for help, and thought he was going to say something terrible, "Cai Zhutou, if there is anything I can help, you can say it's okay." ”

"That's right." A trace of guilt flashed on Cai Tong's face, "It has only been a month since I was assigned to Qinzhou City as a catcher, but this case is really complicated." Moreover, he was directly appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and he had no foundation in Qinzhou City, let alone a backer. A few days ago, there was a fraud case, and Fu Yin confessed that the case must be solved within a month, and there was no way to do it, so I wanted to ask Miss Nan to help. ”

"I'm not going to solve the case, and this time it's a crooked fight. I'm afraid I won't be able to help Cai Zhutou. It's really not Nanxing's excuse, but she really feels that she is not good at this.

"I heard Lao Zhou's son say that the method of refining the true palace is extremely wonderful, clairvoyance, ears to the wind, thorough through the sky, exploring the past and asking the present, so I came cheekily, and it was really a little abrupt." Cai Tong was disheartened, and he was about to leave.

Nanxing hurriedly spoke up, "Why don't Cai Zhutou tell me about the case." If I can help, I will help. However, those clairvoyances and ears are all I said to scare those two prisoners, and I can't take it seriously. ”

"Miss Nan is willing to help, it must be handy. The case is like this......"

There is a big family surnamed Zhao in Qinzhou Mansion, they make a living by selling cloth, although the business is relatively simple, but they monopolize the business of ten miles and eight towns around Qinzhou Mansion, and there are some special ways in Jinling Mansion, on the whole, the family business of the Zhao family in this area is still relatively large.

Although the ancestors of the Zhao family also produced some literati officials, the younger generations were not too competitive in reading, and now these generations are just a family of businessmen doing business.

The old lady of the Zhao family is almost sixty years old this year, and her body is quite tough, but occasionally she has a headache and brain fever, which is normal. Since the boss of the Zhao family is still alive, the Zhao family has not been divided in this generation, and the one in charge of the Shuo family business is her eldest son, who is also the current head of the Zhao family, let's call him Boss Zhao.

Boss Zhao is now thirty-eight, and he still has two brothers. Boss Zhao's second brother, Zhao Boss is two years younger than his eldest brother, and he usually behaves more old-fashioned, but he has always been meticulous about what his eldest brother ordered, and he is a good helper of Boss Zhao. As for the third brother Zhao Laosan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is idle, and he doesn't care about the family's industry, and his favorite is bird walking and cockfighting.

Boss Zhao is also helpless against this younger brother, who makes the old lady of the Zhao family love this child the most, and Zhao Laosan is also used to pretending to be stupid in front of the old lady.

About three months ago, Zhao Laosan went to the account room at home to pay the silver, but his eldest brother had already explained to Mr. Accounts, and he gave his third brother twenty taels of silver every month, and no matter how much silver he had, he had to speak from Zhao Boss himself.

This can pinch Zhao Laosan's life, he just came home from the teahouse, someone in the teahouse raised a thrush, this bird has white eyebrow lines, a black longitudinal line on the chest, that is called a beautiful, the voice is also very loud, melodious and tactful, very pleasant. Zhao Laosan fell in love when he saw it, so it was easy to say that people were willing to cut their love, but they had to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and fifty taels of silver were not worth two prices.

As a result, when he returned home, he was stuck by his eldest brother's hand, and he didn't have any livelihood himself, so when Zhao Boss came back from the shop in the afternoon, he listened to Zhao Laosan's reason for asking for silver, and refused without saying anything. After all, now rice can only buy a bag for dozens of copper plates, and a bird costs fifty taels of silver, which is a clear robbery in the eyes of Boss Zhao.

Zhao Laosan asked for silver in vain, and after returning to the teahouse, he found that the bird seller had been waiting impatiently and left, as for whether he would come the day after tomorrow, it would be difficult to say, and the shopkeeper also said that this master looked at the eyes, and it was very likely that he was passing through Qinzhou.

When the whole family had dinner in the evening, Zhao Laosan sighed there, and Mrs. Zhao saw that she didn't eat a few bites of her favorite meal, and thought that her son was sick, so she said that she wanted to invite Dr. Meng from Zhonghetang to take a look. Boss Zhao couldn't resist the old lady, so he told Zhao Laosan about his unsuccessful request for silver.

Although Mrs. Zhao is partial to her children, she also feels that fifty taels of birds are a bit expensive, or Zhao Laosan will make the old lady happy. He immediately said that it was not for this matter, but that he was in his thirties, and he had not yet made a serious living, and he felt a little sorry for his family, so he was sad that he couldn't eat.

In fact, Zhao Laosan wanted to make a living by himself, but he felt that he didn't buy and sell by himself, and he had to look at the face of his eldest brother when he got a piece of silver, so he decided to find another way to get a way for himself to get money.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that she knew that she was sharing her family's worries, she couldn't be happier. Although Boss Zhao saw that his third brother had another purpose, it was not easy to expose it in person when he saw that the old lady was happy. He said that he would let the third brother go to the second brother to help, and familiarize himself with the family's industry first.

Where could Zhao Laosan agree to this, so he begged Mrs. Zhao to say that she wanted to run a different shop. Although Mrs. Zhao didn't think that Zhao Laosan had much talent in business, but thinking that this kid would always come to trouble, it was better to let the boss give him a shop, even if it was tossed yellow, it didn't matter, just to let him know that it was better to be down-to-earth in business.

The boss of the Zhao family had no choice, so he could only hand over a silk village in Qinzhou Mansion to Zhao Laosan according to the old lady's request. Although the geographical location of this silk village is not the top of the best, but it is not far from the warehouse, if you are diligent, you must be able to intercept a lot of good goods from other places into Qinzhou City.

On the evening of the second day after handing over the shop, Zhao Laosan took fifty taels from the shop's purchase money, and stayed at the teahouse until noon, only to see the bird seller arrive. With money in one hand and a birdcage in the other, Zhao Laosan finally got the little bird he wanted.

When I returned home in the evening, Zhao Laosan's daughter-in-law saw the thrush taken by her husband and knew what was going on.

"I finally got the shop from my eldest brother, why did you spend all the money for the shop?"

"The eldest brother gave me five hundred taels of silver, what happened to me taking fifty taels to buy a bird?" Zhao Laosan didn't care.

Zhao Laosan's daughter-in-law was a little angry, "It's nothing if the old lady is alive, if the old lady rides the crane one day, how much property do you think your eldest brother can leave you?" Do you want to sit and eat empty? Don't forget that you also have two daughters, not to mention the usual expenses, how can this dowry not be shabby. ”

Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Zhao Laosan also felt that this was really the case, now the family property is in the hands of the boss, needless to say, the second child wears a pair of pants with the boss, so that the east will definitely not go west, if the old lady is not there, will he be a big family to rely on others?

Zhao Laosan's daughter-in-law saw that her man was silent, and thought that he didn't listen, so she continued: "You don't know, every time I go to get the monthly silver of our house. The appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law is as if she has been stripped of flesh from her. If you can run the shop well, I can see the old family again, and I can straighten my waist. ”

"But I don't know anything about business."

"Are you stupid? Didn't the eldest brother leave the shopkeeper behind? He just understands, and you'll have nothing to do. ”
