Chapter 139 What is the cargo at the dock?
In the end, the two cleaned the shop together, and went in and out several times before the shop was cleaned.
After lunch, the two of them settled at a nearby noodle stall, and then began to sit leisurely and wait for the guests to come to the door.
Two bottles were sold in one afternoon.
At dusk, the two closed the shop and went to find the inn.
At this moment, there are not many pedestrians on the bluestone pavement, and the shops on both sides are beginning to close.
"Yunqing, I heard that the pier at dusk is very beautiful, let's go take a look?" Su Jin took Qi Yunqing's arm and said with a pretty little face.
I heard Su Feng say that they were holding darts at the dock that day, and the private salt can be so open-minded, it must have nothing to do with the owner of the dock.
It's not useful to look around, but you might find something out of it.
"Okay."
Qi Yunqing knew what she wanted to do, and nodded.
The two walked in the direction of the dock.
It was the time for the dock to get off work, and there were rough men coming and going, and there was nothing to look at, but the two of them still walked around the dock slowly.
A group of men walked past them and heard their conversation clearly.
"I received two taels of silver today, how about we go to Xingliu Mansion to cool off?"
"Forget it, I'm not going, my mother-in-law is very fierce, she caught me last time and caught me with several marks."
"I said that you are a big man, and you were controlled by your mother-in-law, it's really useless, Xingliulou recently entered a group of new girls, that figure is really unspeakable, I was almost tossed that night and couldn't get out of bed, it was so fucking cool."
"Cut! It must be yours who can't do that! ”
"Fuck your shit!"
A group of people slowly walked away.
Su Jinliu frowned, the wages at this wharf were too high, and they were a little abnormally high.
She and Qi Yunqing glanced at each other, both suspicious.
The two stayed for a while and then returned to the inn.
After Xiao Er brought hot water, Qi Yunqing locked the door, took a dry handkerchief and wet it in hot water, then wrung it out slightly, and turned around to wipe Su Jin's face.
"Yunqing, what do you say is the weekday cargo at this dock?" She looked at him with her eyes open, a little surprised.
No matter how prosperous the county is, the price of wages will not be so high, and listening to those men, they should often visit Qinglou.
The cost of the Qinglou is not small, but the people who help the docks are so rich?
"Investigating the case is a matter for the yamen."
Qi Yunqing's tone was slightly stern, and he said, "You promised me when you came, only report to the official, and the rest will not be mixed with anything."
Knowing that he cared about her, Su Jin smiled and nodded seriously, "I know." ”
She is not a reckless person, she can be bold enough to sell illicit salt, she is by no means an ordinary person, and if she investigates with a small role like her, she will definitely not survive the next day.
Now they can only rely on the Song County Order to investigate, and when that person is not arrested, they must not be exposed, otherwise there will definitely be a fatality.
……
There were more people who came to buy perfume this morning, probably because it spread yesterday, but there was still no one Su Jin to wait for.
Seeing that it was almost noon, a lady and two maids suddenly walked in.
Su Jin's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, she stood up and greeted her, and smiled generously, "Madam, but what kind of perfume do you want to buy?" ”
This person is Song County's wife, and the reason why she knows is that Qi Yunqing told her privately after she came to buy perfume last time.
Song Gu glanced at her, his face was kind, and his smile was full, "Yaju." ”
This perfume smells good and is not expensive, I stocked up on two bottles a few days ago, and was taken by my own girl, and her bottle is almost at the bottom.
After the receipt was issued, Su Jin glanced at the account book, and suddenly congratulated: "Madam, congratulations on your tenth customer today, our shop will send a bottle of special perfume, this perfume is called dark incense, which can promote the relationship between husband and wife." As he spoke, he pushed a box over.
"Is it so effective?"
Song Gu didn't believe it, but he was really moved, and then he raised his hand and wanted to open it.
Su Jin's heart tightened, but his face did not change and stopped: "Madam, this perfume is volatile when opened during the day, and the effect of using it at night will not be too good, I recommend that Madame open it again at night." ”
"As for the effect, Madame will know when she uses it at night."
Hearing this, Song Gu shook his hand and said with a smile: "Wrap it up." ”
Then the two maids next to her bought a bottle of perfume each.
After sending them away, Su Jin and Qi Yunqing glanced at each other.
If this doesn't go wrong, it's probably done.
……
The night is dark, Song Mansion.
Song Zhenglian came back from the study and found that the candlelight in the room was still on, and Song Gu was sitting in front of the dresser to comb his hair.
He casually asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" As he spoke, he began to take off his coat.
"Wait for the master."
Song Gu thought about the matter of waiting, his cheeks were a little red, and then he took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from the box and poured it into his hand, but he did not pour out the perfume, but a note.
She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't have a brain to get angry, and reached out to open the note, only "the bottom of the wooden box." "Three words.
She took the box again, and brought the thin colored paper strip on her face, and below it was an envelope, and she opened it to look at it, and after half a ring, her face changed.
Madame, the stakes are high, and I beg your pardon for making you so abrupt......
……
Reading the entire letter, Song Gu's hands were trembling.
"Sir, come here."
"What's wrong?"
Song Zhenglian had just sat on the bed when he heard her shouting, so he got up and walked over.
I saw her hand him a piece of letterhead, and at first he didn't care, thinking it was a letter.
After a general sweep, he suddenly touched the private salt, the dock, and killed a few people, and his face froze.
He hurriedly took the letter paper and looked at it carefully, and after half a ring, he asked in a deep voice, "Who gave it to you?" ”
"The owner of the perfume seller."
Song Gu was shocked for a while, but fortunately, this perfume was not taken out by her to show off.
Song Zhenglian asked, "The one in Sansheng Lane?" ”
After the case was closed, he also sent someone to check on Su Jin.
Song Gu nodded, "Master, do you think this thing is true or false?" ”
"Probably true, otherwise she wouldn't have been so cautious."
Song Zhenglian then solemnly instructed, "The stakes are very high, except for you and I must not let the third party know, otherwise leaking it will startle the grass and snakes, and it will not be good for us and that girl." ”
This matter can't be investigated openly, but who should he send to investigate secretly, this matter is not used correctly, then it will be troublesome.
Then he said: "You want to find a way to bring a message to that girl, so that she doesn't worry, this matter has already been investigated." ”
This girl believes in him so much, isn't she afraid that he will also participate?
Song Gu is not the kind of ignorant woman who doesn't know anything, so she can naturally think clearly about the stakes, so she nodded.
