Chapter 4 The Mansion of the King of Qin
"Hey!" Xie Yan shouted at the man, "There are guests coming, and you don't accept them?" ”
"See for yourself what you want to buy." The man didn't raise his head, but said lazily.
Pouting, Xie Yan felt that this business was not for nothing.
"I won't pick, why don't you pick it for me?"
"I won't pick what pen and ink you want to buy!" The man simply closed his eyes, looking ready to rest.
A bit rushed!
"I see that the location of this store is okay, so I'm going to give up."
"It's just a little bit of a broken business, and I haven't seen anyone come for ten days or eight days, what's the use of opening it?" The man was finally reluctant to look up at Xie Yan.
"You mean you're not going to ask for this shop?"
"You didn't see what I put on the door!" The man glanced at the door of the store with his eyes.
"Oh, I was going to sell this shop for a long time." Although Xie Yan had seen it a long time ago, he still pretended to be surprised.
"Well, now are you planning to buy pen and ink, and you are planning to buy a store?"
Xie Yan walked in, pointed into the man's ear, and asked in a low voice, "If I say that I want to buy this store, what price can you give?" ”
"Would you like to buy this store?" The man's voice was finally in good spirits.
"Hmm." Xie Yan nodded.
"Come in and say." As he spoke, the man pulled Xie Yan inside.
"Let's talk about it now." Inside, Xie Yan sat casually at a table.
The shopkeeper didn't speak, just gestured two fingers.
"Two hundred taels?" Xie Yan estimated it.
"Where is the use of so much? 20 taels is enough! "The store was very excited.
"Twenty taels!" Xie Yan thinks that this shop is still worth a few hundred taels of silver.
"Oops! Isn't there something going on in the shop? You think I want to sell it for this price! It's not like I'm afraid that something will happen if it's expensive. The man frowned.
"What can happen to a pen and ink shop?" Xie Yan pretended to ask disapprehantly.
"That's a weird thing!" The shopkeeper recalled, "Some time ago, someone bought a few pieces of ink from me and went back, but the man had an accident with it - he fainted!" His family suspected that some unclean material was used in the ink, which caused him to faint.
"And that's not where it's critical. The point is that they sent this person to the hospital, but the person was still not saved, and the doctor really detected poison in the ink! I didn't make the ink in my shop, but I never had any problems!
"I thought, someone must be framing me! But I'm just an ordinary ink buyer, who can I offend!
"I think it must be a peer!"
"Your ink quality is average, it's not too threatening!" Xie Yan hit mercilessly.
"Yes, my ink is average, but my ink is definitely not poisonous!
"But as soon as this incident came out, the people of the yamen wanted to arrest me. How could I be willing, I have been wronged! Therefore, I found some connections and asked the yamen to delay me for two days.
"I took the money to ask someone to deduct the poisonous ink from the yamen, and I took the little ink to ask the doctor to see what kind of poison it was, but I asked several doctors in a row, and none of them knew!
"In just two days, I'm going to ask another doctor one last time, and if I can't ask again, I won't ask! As a result, that night, a man in black appeared at my house and almost scared me to death! The man warned me not to investigate this matter again, and if I continued to investigate, I would not only ruin my business, but also lose my life!
"There's no way, my little thin arm can't twist someone's thigh! But I still have to find a way to survive, so I used my life savings to build a good relationship with Nazhi County, and saved my little life and this small shop! Saying that, the man sighed, "I can't stay in this place now, this can sell this shop, it's a little entangled, so I can get out of here!" ”
"Oops, big brother. I think you're really innocent, twenty taels is still too little, give you fifty taels. Xie Yan knew that this person was lying, but he still pretended to believe it very much and sympathize.
Her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this, and maybe it could help her!
"Hey, okay." The man nodded hurriedly, not at all with the sadness of the story he had just told.
"Little brother, you are so nice!"
Xie Yan felt that this person was a little interesting, "Mm-hmm." "But this shop, she won it.
"Hehe, when are we going to transfer the house?"
"Tomorrow, I just came to Yanjing today, and there are still some things that are not ready, tomorrow at this time, I will come to this store to find you again!" Xie Yan smiled brightly and gently.
"Good! I'll be waiting for you in this store! ”
"I may not come in person tomorrow, but I will send someone I trust. You have this sword spike, and someone will come to you tomorrow with the same sword spike. Suddenly thinking that she was in Yanjing's business, Xie Yan casually ripped off the sword spike on the sword.
"Okay, okay!" The man cautiously resulted in the spike of the sword.
Xie Yan went out, estimating that most of the hour had passed, and it was time to go back to the inn.
At the time of the evening eclipse, the setting sun hangs in the sky, hidden in the mountain shade, and the afterglow is warm.
Back at the inn, before Ji Cheng came back, Xie Yan asked Chen Xi to send two plates of food, and just as he was about to put down the chopsticks, he saw Ji Cheng push the door and enter.
"Ah...... Xiaoyan, I found it. Almost called it wrong, Ji Cheng glanced at Xie Yan's face, fortunately, it hadn't changed.
"Okay, eat something first, and then we'll go when it gets dark." They ate a little bit this morning, and now they're both hungry!
"Oh, yes!"
Xie Yan ordered two more dishes and some rice.
The two of them ate neither fast nor slowly, and it was almost dark after eating. After a short rest, the two of them quietly arrived at a teahouse in the moonlight.
At this time, in the backyard of the teahouse.
"Ah Yan!" Chen Yifu immediately stepped forward.
"Well, I'm coming!"
Xie Yan looked at the people in this courtyard, and there were only twelve of them.
"How long have you been here?"
"We arrived yesterday at the hour. Because you said you didn't need to hide it, we bought this teahouse, as well as a small restaurant by the Anhui Bridge. ”
"Yes, it has to be blatant!" Instead of looking for it in the dark, it's too late, you can only put things on the bright side, and it's convenient to act.
"Where's the brother who sent the news?" Xie Yan suddenly thought of this person.
"It's Hu Yu, the first time we came here, we were looking for him, we didn't find anyone else, but we found the code he left, which is in a small temple at the junction of Yanjing and Shicheng."
"That's okay, you continue to look for someone, you can not hide it, but try not to expose Hu Yu's whereabouts!" Hu Yu should have discovered something, if nothing else, Hu Yu should have first-hand clues in his hand, and he can't break it!
"Yes!"
"I'll leave for King Qin's Mansion tonight!" Xie Yan didn't dare to stop.
"Ah Yan, is your body okay like this? You haven't had a break for nearly three days. This will be unbearable for the body. Ji Cheng still said worriedly.
"My own body, my own measure. I bought a pen and ink shop on Binhe Road, Ji Cheng, tomorrow you take 50 taels of silver, plus an ordinary sword spike, and go to the government with that person to register. Xie Yan commanded.
"Good!" Ji Cheng lowered his head.
"Ji Cheng, after that, the matter of the pen and ink shop will be handed over to you, the shop owner should have some problems, you pay attention."
"Okay, I got it."
Explain everything. Xie Yan changed his clothes. Walked all the way to the small corner tower, and then rode a horse from the small restaurant to the stone city.
From childhood to adulthood, in the past fourteen years, it is the first time Xie Yan has done things alone. She was also panicked and didn't know what to do, so she didn't dare to stop. If it stops, the taut string will accidentally break, and that's the end of it.
"Drive!" Whipping all the way to Shicheng, Xie Yan didn't take a breath.
By the time we arrived at Stone City, it was already dawn.
At a small stall on the side of the road, Xie Yan casually bought some food and filled his stomach a little.
The location of the Qin Wangfu is easy to inquire, and there is almost no one in this stone city who does not know.
This inquiry also inquired about a good news! King Qin went to suppress bandits a few days ago, and it is said that he was injured, and it is not light!
Hey, it's hurt, that's easy! After all, she's good at healing!
arrived at the gate of King Qin's mansion.
This Qin Wangfu is really magnificent, with two bronze lions at the door, majestic, and the vermilion door is solemn and majestic.
Let Xie Yan think that she has arrived in the capital!
When he walked to the gate of King Qin's mansion, he was stopped by the guards, "Stop!" Who are you? ”
"Xuanzhou Xie Yan, please let me know," Xie Yan said, taking out a piece of jade pendant from his return, "This jade pendant can be brought with you." ”
The doorman took the jade pendant, turned around and went in.
In a moment, the doorman came out, followed by a middle-aged man.
"Miss Xie, I am the housekeeper in this house, please come with me."
Xie Yan smiled and nodded, and followed him in.
