The middle-aged man has a pair of slender eyes, and the most common slumped nose among passers-by walking on the street, slightly thick lips, thick eyebrows and square face, at first glance it looks a little simple, but a little more glance will find that his eyes are shining with the cunning essence of a philistine.

The new blue clothes deepened the suspicion in Yu Can's heart, and asked a middle-aged man who was obviously not a rich man, why did he make such an expensive thin jacket when he was not young?

Seeing that spring is about to begin, the big families with plenty of money will not waste silver to make new jackets, but rush to make New Year clothes, this middle-aged man who is obviously not a master and not rich, how can he abnormally take out a large sum of silver to make a set of clothes that will not last long?

The middle-aged exposed hands have thick calluses, dark skin, and deep wrinkles, which are traces of years of exposure to the sun and rough work. When Yu Can was in Yuzhou, he often ran outside the city to run wildly, and it was not uncommon for men and women from peasant families to be seen, and the similarities between middle-aged people and croppers could be seen at a glance.

The only difference is that the croppers she has seen are all honest and kind, and the slight dodging of their eyes when looking at people is not out of weakness, but out of a sensitive inferiority.

And this middle-aged viewer looked at it with scrutiny and scrutiny, from the hair to the soles of his feet. He looked at the two women with contempt and sarcasm, and when he saw Yu Can who was watching the excitement, he quickly put away the trace of disdain, nodded and bowed.

Seeing that Yu Can was dressed extraordinarily at a young age, and then looked at the apprentice Amu Gui next to her standing beside her, the middle-aged knew that she was the owner of Cen Ji. "The girl is well. Did you find this lost item in the store? ”

"yes." Yu Can nodded, looking like a well-behaved lady, which made people involuntarily relax their vigilance.

"The jade pendant that the two women fought for...... Actually, it's mine. "The middle-aged pretends to be shy, and looks quite disobedient, like a hungry wolf disguised as a soft dog, but the sharp teeth in his mouth can always reveal what he thinks from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you know what kind of jade it is?"

"Glutinous rice white, it is the best glutinous rice white. I made a small fortune in the northwest a few days ago, and I happened to pass by the place where jade was produced, and I brought this jade pendant with me by the way. I just arrived in Beijing yesterday and saw a long queue at the door of Cen Kee, so I wanted to buy some and bring them back to my family to try. ”

The middle-aged man explained very carefully, as if he was afraid that Yu Can would not believe it, and took out a piece of Cen Ji's oil paper from his pocket. "Look, I estimated that the jade pendant fell on Cen Ji, and I also took the oil paper from yesterday's pastry. My brother was so busy yesterday that he forgot about me. ”

Amu thought about it carefully, but still didn't find this face in the chaotic memory, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Can, and saw that she looked calm and relaxed, and knew that he should also play the style of an excellent apprentice and cooperate with the owner to continue acting.

"It was so busy yesterday, man, did you come in the afternoon or in the evening?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Before dinner, it's not dusk yet." I was busy at the time. ”

Amu Xindao This person is quite clever, he came to the neighborhood in advance to step on it, and only ran to set it on fire when it closed, and he didn't forget to take away the ignition tools, it seems that he is a familiar hand.

It's a pity that this time it was bad luck and was planted on a jade pendant.

"I see. But brother, this jade pendant doesn't have a mark, so it's not good for our owner to hand it over to you directly, right? In this way, you and I will go to the yamen to make a reservation, and if someone finds it later, I will have a certificate. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he refused with a smile: "This, why bother the official with this little thing, my family lives in Sesame Lane in the west of the city, and the monk can't run the temple." What's more, this jade pendant is mine, how can anyone come to find it? ”

Amu looked tangled, unable to make up his mind, and raised his eyes to look at Yu Can and asked her to decide.

Yu Can couldn't find a way to drag this person after thinking about it, she and Taozhi Lijiao plus an Amu may not be able to control the lean middle-aged man in front of him, and this person is obviously an outlaw, if they go crazy and hurt them, the gains outweigh the losses.

Now there are few people on the street, and the well-meaning onlookers can't gather, and there are several masters and apprentices in Bai Ji next door, but Yu Can can't think of a good excuse to go over and ask for help.

It wasn't until Amu had just offered to find someone to testify that he had an idea. "I also don't think there's any need to bother, so let's not go far, let's go to Bai Ji and let the shopkeeper be a witness, how about it?"

Middle-aged people naturally respond to it, and he doesn't dare to see the official, but going to Baiji is nothing more than telling a lie again, what is there to be afraid of? The little girl in front of her is simple and easy to deceive, and she can fool the past casually.

As long as she decides to return the jade pendant to him, how can Bai Ji's people be nosy? The middle-aged man felt that he was really lucky today, and he didn't have much hope, but it turned out that he really got the jade pendant back.

"It's easy to say, the girl is reasonable, of course I should cooperate well."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took the initiative to turn around and walk towards Bai Ji on the opposite side, Amu hurriedly ran to the two women, muttered for a while, and then took back the jade pendant that was scrambled.

Two women, you look at me, I look at you, standing there rubbing your hands together and waiting, without any intention of leaving.

"Girl, I made it clear to the two sisters-in-law, and they are willing to testify for us. But what do we do now? Amu handed the jade pendant to Yu Can, and Ma Yu stood aside, hanging his hands in a proper manner and waiting for instructions.

"Amu, you run fast, go to report to the official first. I went to Bai Ji with Taozhi Lishao and tried to hold the man back. "Yu Can doesn't really want to rely on the strength of the masses to subdue this person, firstly, it is not right, and secondly, it is not good if he hurts someone.

Amu responded when he heard this, and when he saw the middle-aged man stepping into Bai Ji, he hurriedly turned around and went into the alley next to him.

"Let's go, go to Bai Ji." Yu Can followed with two maids, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the middle-aged man had already chatted with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is the one who received Yu Can some time ago, he has worked in the store all his life, and he will soon be able to figure out the identity and status of the guests and their ordinary preferences. Seeing Yu Can, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand. "Miss Yu, are the two masters in the store okay?"

Seeing that he was genuinely concerned, Yu Can nodded and responded: "It's okay, I have some minor injuries and am being raised at home." ”

"Fortunately," the shopkeeper sighed again and again, and couldn't help but wonder, "How did you go out of the water last night?" The two masters are usually cautious and cautious people. ”

Yu Can shook his head and sighed, talking a lot of nonsense, in short, he couldn't get to the point, and the shopkeeper was confused and not easy to interrupt. He had seen a lot of all kinds of guests, both high and low, and soon sensed something wrong from Yu Can's reaction.

The shopkeeper thought of the middle-aged man next to him who was dressed up and temperamental, and just told him that he had lost a jade pendant in Cen Ji, and wanted Bai Ji's people to be a witness and let him take the jade pendant back, so as to avoid any disputes in the future.

The shopkeeper's mind flashed, and he suddenly understood what Miss Yu meant.
