Chapter 189: Fraud
Zhuang Rou was so tired that even though she was pricked with needles in her back, she still fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that it was already dawn and she had already overslept. Although he has woken up, he is still very confused and just wants to sleep for a while.
But this house is not hers, just sleep at night, and there are serious things to do during the day.
She sat up and scratched her hair, feeling some dull pain in her back, and some itching, although it was not serious, but she was a little concerned. As soon as he wanted to scratch his back with his hand, he heard Chu Xia scolding: "Don't scratch indiscriminately!" What to do if it breaks. ”
This guy is still there, could it be that after he fell asleep yesterday, he also slept with him?
Zhuang Rou tilted his head and saw that Chu Xia had just taken a shower and was wiping his hair. The powerful are different, they have to take a shower when they get up, and they go out only after dressing up.
"Your Excellency, you're in a good mood today. I got up so early to wander somewhere, and I took a fragrant bath. She scratched her neck as she spoke, thinking that this man was really.
Chu Xia glanced at her deeply, "I'm taking a bedtime bath, I'm not doing business today, I'm going to sleep." ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him stunned, he was only sleeping now, didn't that mean he could be lazy for a day. She blinked, then fell back on the bed, wrapped in the slippery summer quilt and continued to sleep.
Chu Xia, who was wiping his hair and wanted to dry off his sleep, pulled down the cotton handkerchief on his head and saw Zhuang Rou, who had sat up just now, now lying down again. He immediately walked over and lifted the quilt and dragged her up.
"What?" Zhuang Rou looked at him confused.
Chu Xia pointed to the bed and said, "I can sleep alone, I'm not used to sleeping with others, don't occupy my bed, you have to sleep back in your own room." ”
Zhuang Rou looked at this unfriendly guy, yawned and got out of bed, and went to the small room to pick up the clothes she threw inside. It was too hot, and the clothes were wet and thrown on the ground, although they had been dried, they had a damp smell and had to be washed again.
She walked out and saw that Chu Xia's hair was not yet dry, and she was already lying on the bed, with her back to her, sleeping with the wind open by the window. Being able to sleep so leisurely in the morning is really unpleasant to watch.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rou put down her clothes, tied the strap wrapped around her chest to the handle of a teapot, and threw the strap out of the window, and then opened the door and left with her things.
She closed the door, crept to the window, and looked sneakily inside. Seeing that Chu Xia seemed to be asleep, and the ups and downs of her body's breathing were very steady, she grabbed the strap and pulled it hard, and the teapot on the table fell to the ground with a bang.
Chu Xia had just fallen asleep, and he was suddenly awakened and sat up violently. Looking over the table, I saw a strap tied to a teapot handle that had been pulled out of the window, and a teapot had broken on the floor.
Stunned, he immediately exploded, "Zhuang Rou!" Scare me to death, your ten lives are not enough to pay! ”
At this time, Zhuang Rou had already run away with her clothes, and quickly climbed over the wall and went back.
Hua Yulou stood at the door of his room, watching Zhuang Rou turn over and leave wearing only a man's underwear, feeling a little dazed. What did these two do last night, they actually stayed in the same room all night, and in the morning they came to climb over the wall without even getting dressed.
He felt that he was underestimating women, he had been running among the flowers for so many years, and he had never seen such a woman, and he couldn't describe it anymore.
Now it looks more like she climbed over the wall to pick grass, and then ran away with her clothes while others had just woken up. behaved like a low-grade flower thief, did not do things neatly and neatly, and lost everyone's face.
Suddenly, Hua Yulou reacted, why should he comment on her, she would never agree with a female thief in this line of flower picking!
"Doesn't she have to get married?" He muttered, but forgot about those women who liked him, had a ruined reputation, and now it is difficult to marry a good family.
Zhuang Rou returned to the room, chose between official clothes and civilian clothes, and finally picked out civilian clothes and put them on, and went out alone.
The trial has been settled, and now she only needs to find evidence and arrest people, and it doesn't matter if she wants to make up a reason to go in and arrest people, but she can't disclose the real charges, and it will be difficult to explain when someone asks about it.
She thought that if Jiang Yiyun could confess her guilt on her own, then she didn't have to bother with any more words. It's a bit abrupt to visit Zhang's Mansion directly, it's best to let the other party thank you, so they won't be able to refuse if they want to enter the back house under the pretext.
This Zhang family has a lot of industries in Hongzhou, and what made them make a fortune back then was Zhang Ji groceries, the Zhang family has a different treatment of this shop, whoever becomes the owner of this store, that is the next head of the family.
And now it is Zhang Yaozu who takes over Zhang Ji's groceries, as long as he starts from here, he will definitely be very grateful to himself.
With such a plan in mind, she came directly to the outside of Zhang Ji's groceries and looked at the people inside leisurely. It's not good to always stand outside, there are shops on the left and right and there are no restaurants, and it is more conspicuous to stand at the door for a long time at this time.
So, Zhuang Rou looked at the door for a while, and then walked in. This piece of groceries has been expanded many times, and the shelves are full of goods, although they are not as good as the grocery stores in the capital, but they can be found in the things that ordinary people want to buy.
Because the business is too good, people come and go very lively, the guy doesn't care about the people who don't like the merchants, and after choosing what he wants, he asks the guy to go to the checkout.
Zhuang Rou looked slowly inside with her hands behind her back, and stayed around for more than half an hour, always looking at people who didn't buy things for a long time. Finally, a fellow noticed her strange appearance, this person was not shabby, no matter how much he didn't buy it, he wouldn't stay so long as a thief, so he walked over to her.
"This girl, if you want to buy something, as long as there is something in the store, you can find it for you if you sign up." The partner said kindly.
Still entangled, Zhuang Rou put her fingers to her mouth, tilted her head to look at the shelves and thought about it, and said: "My wife went to the yamen of the state capital not long ago, and saw the things used by Lord Zhizhou there, so she wanted to find a few to use. ”
"But I turned around, although your store is known as the most complete in Hongzhou, there is nothing eye-catching, which is really disappointing."
It's really a big breath, it's not that the guy has never seen the world, all kinds of famous guests have been in contact, so he said with a smile: "Girl, Lord Zhizhou is a relative of the emperor, and he is a county king, and all the things he uses are given by the palace and ordinary people can't buy things." Some of them are forbidden, and even if we want to sell them, we can't sell them. ”
Zhuang Rou showed a surprised and ignorant expression, "There is such a thing, what can I do, my wife has a new courtyard, and there are a lot of things to arrange." ”
"No, you see, even Mrs. Silver Ticket brought it to me." She opened her purse and took out a stack of silver tickets, the top of which was a few hundred taels.
This is really a big customer, and the guy hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know what the girl is going to come out to buy, but there is a list, and the villain picks out the best in the store for the girl." Even if someone comes to the capital, it will not lose to them, it is all good goods that are transported into the capital first-class. ”
Zhuang Rou pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "What list do you want, I am very smart, I have it all in my head, I said you can find it." ”
"That's fine." The guy tilted his head slightly, waiting for her to report it.
Clearing her throat, Zhuang Rou wrenched her fingers and reported, "There are four sets of Linglong Xi Manta Jade tea sets, preferably different styles, all of which are equally embarrassing." A half-zhang high white jade eight immortals crossed the sea with a golden silk nanmu screen, ten sets of brocade and blue dishes with gold and silver borders, and twenty gold and silver flying clouds inlaid with pearl candlestick......s."
The guy looked at her stunned, he hadn't even heard of these things, there were objects, but he hadn't heard of the ones mentioned earlier. The half-zhang high white jade screen, just a few hundred taels is not enough to buy!
Zhuang Rou racked her brains and made up countless good things, anyway, she didn't know if there were any, just put expensive things on top, just to bluff this guy.
After talking for almost half an hour, Zhuang Rou finished reporting what she wanted, licking her lips with a dry mouth, and then she stopped and said, "No, that's all, I said can't you pour me a cup of tea?" ”
The stunned guy quickly came to his senses and ran to pour a cup of tea. Zhuang Rou took it and drank it in one sip, which was not enough at all, and patted the shelves for the guy to continue pouring. It took her half a pot to regain her strength, and looking at the guy with the teapot, she took out a small bill from her purse and threw it over.
"Take it and reward you."
I've never seen someone so generous, this is not a green building! Whoever tips the guy will throw so much.
"This girl rewards you, do a good job for me, and find out what I want. If it's really not exactly the same, it's okay to downgrade it. Zhuang Rou saw that he didn't dare to accept it, so she directly stuffed it into his hand.
This aura is so big that the guy was directly shocked, and even the shopkeeper saw it and walked over in person, "This girl, how lazy, we will find all the goods for you immediately." ”
Seeing that this shopkeeper was so good at behaving, Zhuang Rou took out a small bill of ten taels and wanted to reward him. How could there be any reason for the shopkeeper to accept this, he quickly refused: "This is not good, it is enough for the girl to take care of our business." Girl, please sit down, and we'll go buy it right away. ”
The guy said with a bitter face: "Shopkeeper, there are too many things I just said, I haven't memorized them all." ”
"You idiot!" When the shopkeeper saw it, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, what use do you want!
Zhuang Rou smiled: "Don't scold him, I really want a lot of things." So be it, I'll write it down. ”
The shopkeeper was surprised and said, "The girl is literate? ”
He knows that there are very few literate women, most of them are female celebrities, and there are few spare money to ask the master to teach.
"Of course, how can I get out of the house without knowing a few words." Zhuang Rou looked left and right, pointed to the tent and said, "There is paper and ink over there, how about I write there?" ”
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper hurriedly invited Zhuang Rou to the tent, took out a stack of paper and pen and ink, and watched Zhuang Rou write.
Soon she wrote one and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you let the guy find this first, you don't have to fill it all out." First find a suitable one of each, I bought it and brought it to my wife, she decided to ask for it, and then came to buy the amount she wanted. I'll look for it while I'm writing, so I can go back sooner. ”
It's really smart and clever, and I don't know whose girl it is, it's really good to marry home as a daughter-in-law, except for the little problem that you won't spend money if you reward too much, everything else is too good.
The shopkeeper thought about it, took the list and called the guy to find it, and he was busy with it. He was not afraid that the silver would be stolen, and the silver of more than ten taels of silver was directly taken to the back warehouse and placed, and there were only a few copper coins and broken silver in the tent.
He remembered that there was a good screen in the storeroom, although it was not a whole piece of jade, but there were gold leaf flowers and jade blocks on it, which was also quite a good object, and it was more than enough to use in Hongzhou.
So he hurriedly sent someone to look for it in the warehouse, just a short cup of tea, and when he came back and wanted to ask Zhuang Rou to look at the screen, he found that there was no one at the tent.
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked over, inside and outside the door, there was no one to be found left and right, and he quickly wanted to take the key and open the box. As soon as he touched the lock, he found that the lock had been opened, and as soon as he opened the drawer, he immediately sat down in the chair with a scream.
The broken silver and copper coins in the drawers are all there, and the only thing missing is three account books for groceries, which are useless to others and very important to the Zhang family.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, what's wrong!" The guys gathered around and hurriedly called.
The shopkeeper waved his hand and shouted, "Go and report to the official!" ”
When the words came out, he paused, thinking of the legendary Lord Zhizhou who went in to scrape two layers of skin, and quickly shouted again, "Everyone goes out to find that woman, and no one is allowed to report to the official!" Gotta get that woman back! ”
