Unconsciously, the light in the room dimmed, and Yu Tang realized that the sun was already in the west.

She got up, rubbed her eyes that were a little sore, and went out to beckon a small servant to ask, "Didn't Master Yu and Master Yu come back?" ”

"Nope!" The little servant replied, and Yu Tang saw Tong Er's shopkeeper walk in.

He is very similar to the shopkeeper Tong, not his facial features, but his temperament, which gives people a very kind and easy-to-talk feeling.

The innkeeper kept the accounts at the counter.

He asked the innkeeper, "Is the hostess there?" How is Miss Yu's family? I've been thinking about asking, but I'm too busy with business today, and I can't get out of the way. ”

Men and women should be treated differently.

The owner of the inn was also embarrassed to visit Yu Tang and said, "It should be okay, right?" I heard from Xiao Er in the store that Miss Yu went out to buy some things and came back - she can still go shopping, most of which is good. But whether it was good or not, he didn't know, and after saying this, he asked people to call the proprietress out.

The proprietress smiled: "Okay, okay! It's just that the spirit is not very good. However, anyone who doesn't eat on this day will lose their energy! ”

"That's good." The second shopkeeper Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The third master of our family already knows that I used his name to ask Miss Yu for a doctor, and if the third master asks about the situation of the Yu family, I also know how to answer!" Then he asked Yu Wen and Yu Yuanlai again, knowing that the two of them had gone out early in the morning and had not come back, he said: "Then I won't go to visit Miss Yu, Master Yu and Master Yu are back, you can help me tell them, I will visit them tomorrow." ”

The boss and the proprietress responded in unison and sent Tong Er's shopkeeper out.

Yu Tang was also embarrassed to go out to say hello, and turned back to his house.

When the lamp was in hand, Yu Wen came back first.

He looked tired, and when the boss greeted him, his smile was a little reluctant, and he hurriedly said a few polite words to the boss and went back to the room.

When Yu Tang heard the movement, he went to his father's house.

"Sit down!" The tiredness in Yu Wen's eyes seemed to come out of his heart, he stroked his forehead and said, "If you don't come to me, I'm going to see you." How are you today? Does your stomach still hurt? What are you doing alone in the inn when we're away? ”

Yu Tang answered them one by one, and then helped his father pour a cup of hot tea, then sat down beside his father and said, "Did something happen to you?" ”

Yu Wen nodded, holding the teacup but not drinking tea, but looked at Yu Tang in a daze, his eyes were deep, and he looked very dignified.

Yu Tang chuckled in his heart.

According to their previous plan, in order not to attract attention, her father went to investigate Lu Xin's matter to see if Lu Xin's death was strange, while Yu Yuan went to the master surnamed Qian to see if he could help uncover the "Hidden Picture of Fishing in Pine Creek" again. Now that Yu Yuan has not returned, I don't know how the master surnamed Qian will reply to Yu Yuan, Yu Wen is here, it is definitely not good news.

She held her breath and waited for her father to figure out how to tell her about it.

Yu Wen was silent for a long time, and then said, "Ah Tang, you are right!" The death of your Uncle Lu, I'm afraid that it really meets your guess! ”

After getting such information, Yu Tang's heart became more steady. She said, "Could it be that Uncle Lu was killed by someone?" ”

"I don't know if he was killed, but he shouldn't have died like this." Yu Wen carefully talked to Yu Tang about what he had found, "Before your Uncle Lu died, he still owed the money for the inn and the wine money for the small restaurant in the alley, and he had just established a relationship with the newly appointed Tixue Yushi, and I heard the innkeeper say that he had been recommended by the Tixue Yushi, and he was going to study in the capital in two days......"

Yu Tang frowned and said, "Could it be that Lu Xiucai is bragging?" ”

"Whether it's bragging or not, it's true that he's going to go to the capital." Yu Wen said, "He also found several acquaintances to pool money, and wanted to settle the money for accommodation and wine." Fortunately, the inn said that the owner of the small restaurant heard that he was leaving, and was afraid that he would secretly run away without giving him money for wine, so he kept sending his son to follow you, Uncle Lu. The owner of the small restaurant said that his son saw your Uncle Lu go back to the inn to rest that night, and he was afraid that your Uncle Lu would be called out to play in the middle of the night.

"Who knew that early the next morning, I found that your Uncle Lu had drowned in the Peach Blossom River not far from the inn.

"I also asked the innkeeper, and the innkeeper swore that he didn't find your Uncle Lu going out."

Yu Tang shuddered.

Yu Wen also looked gloomy.

Both of them felt that the situation was not good, and they did not dare to continue to investigate, nor did they dare to pretend to be confused like this, and wait until disaster came.

For a while, both father and daughter had no idea.

Yu Wen had no choice but to comfort himself: "Maybe we are thinking too complicated, wait for Ah Yuan to come back." ”

Those who do business like Master Qian are usually very afraid of new faces. Today, Yu Yuan went over and did not bring the painting with him, but asked a friend who had a very good personal relationship with Master Qian to be a middleman, and tried to ask Master Qian to help with this.

As for whether it will succeed or not, there are two theories.

Yu Tang saw that his father was a little frustrated, so he had to say, "Daddy, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" I asked the hostess to bring the food up. Today the fish was fried in the store, and I could smell the smell as I sat in the house. ”

This inn can be catered with or à la carte.

Yuwen They didn't know how things would go, so they could only order a la carte without a meal.

"Let's wait for Ah Yuan to come back!" Yu Wen wilted, Yu Yuan came back.

He was in high spirits and said happily: "Uncle, Master Qian let us go early tomorrow morning, and only after seeing the painting can we give us a letter." ”

That's good news.

Yu Wen cheered up, but Yu Yuan still saw the clue.

Yu Wen didn't hide it from him, and told Yu Yuan everything about it.

Yu Yuan looked serious and said, "Then we have to be more careful tomorrow." ”

Yu Wen sighed and said, "Let's eat!" Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. Tomorrow's business will be discussed tomorrow. ”

Yu Tang hurriedly went to order food.

After eating, everyone who was originally scheduled to go to Xiaohe Yujie Night Market was not in the mood and went back to their rooms early.

Yu Tang continued to make head flowers until he heard the three drums and did not fall asleep.

When she got up the next day, she heard Yu Wen talking to the shopkeeper, and Yu Yuan had already gone out with the painting.

This time, though, he came back early.

I came back before lunch, and left the painting with Master Qian.

His eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and said to Yu Wen and Yu Tang: "Master Qian has seen the painting, and said that this painting can be uncovered at least three layers, and asked us how many layers we want to reveal." I thought that I would trouble him once, and I was not polite, so I asked him to uncover a few layers, but it would cost five taels of silver more than I had said before, and I would not be able to get the painting until tomorrow afternoon. ”

Yu Wen was in a low mood since he learned about Lu Xin yesterday, and when he heard the words, he simply responded "OK" and directly took the silver to Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan took the silver and went out again.
