In Ning Xiang's narration, her husband Su Guangcai swept all her money with the widow Liu and disappeared. In order to maintain the operation of the inn, Ning Xiang had to change the business strategy of the inn, and even once relied on the door to sell jokes to attract guests, which is also a fact after the investigation of the yamen.

As a wife, it is not a glorious thing for her husband to elope with a widow who swept all his property, and Ning Xiang has been looking forward to the day when Su Guangcai will be able to change his mind, so for a long time after Su Guangcai's disappearance, she had to pretend to be okay to cover it up, until half a year ago, someone found the box that Su Guangcai and the widow Liu carried when he eloped with the widow Liu in the mountains and forests east of the town, and found some blood stains and some clothing fragments nearby, Ning Xiang hurriedly went to Yamen to report the case.

As for why Ning Xiang insisted that it was Widow Liu who killed Su Guangcai, it was also because the person who found the box told Ning Xiang that the pieces of clothes around the box belonged to a man.

"Since the box was found and the pieces of clothing were found, what about the corpse, have you found it?" The crux of the problem is stuck in the sentence.

Chang Tai shook his head: "I have read the file, and the officials did not find any human corpses at the scene, but found a skeleton of an animal at the foot of the mountain, which looks like it has been dead for a long time. ”

"Even in the mountains and forests, the skeletons of some animals are also normal." Xing Ruyi said and closed the paper: "It's just that I don't understand, what is the connection between Ning Xiang's husband Su Guangcai's elope with someone and the disappearance case that happened in Ning Xiang Inn?" Could it be that this is also an evil incident, that's why Brother Chang, you thought of me? ”

"No, no, there is no inevitable relationship between the two, it's just that because Ning Xiang's husband eloped with Widow Liu, the operation of the inn is not quite the same as before. Originally, Ningxiang's inn only received merchants, and most of the people staying nearby were people from good families. But since her husband disappeared, in order to maintain the livelihood of the inn, she also began to receive some miscellaneous people, and the inn not only provided accommodation, cakes, and some wine and food. In short, the business of this inn seems to be better than before, but the personnel are complicated, and many of them stay for a short time, and some even drink in it and turn around, so the missing people reported here, although related to this inn, are almost negligible compared to the total number of guests in the inn. ”

"I understand what you mean, Brother Chang! After talking about it for a long time, I still don't know what this inn opened by Ning Xiang is? Before, I had been to a paper shop, and I hadn't seen any special inns. ”

"Oh, this inn was originally called Guangcai Inn, but later changed its name to Longmen Inn!"

"Dragon Gate Inn?" Xing Ruyi couldn't help but show that slightly surprised expression.

"Yes, it's the Dragon Gate Inn! Ruyi, have you heard it before? ”

"I've heard of a Longmen Inn, but it's definitely not the same as this, the Longmen Inn I know is open on the desert, and the owner of the inn is a beautiful woman named Jin Xiangyu, but that inn is a veritable black shop."

"Black shop?" Chang Tai was stunned, although he was the first fast catcher in Luoyang City and had handled many cases, he had never been exposed to the word black shop.

"To the black shop! It is the kind that will poison the guests' meals, and then blow their eyes into the room while the guests are sleeping, and then select those who are white and tender, especially chubby, with very thick meat and a lot of oil, and send them to the back kitchen one by one, and then pick the meat and debone it, make it into buns, and then give it to the new round of guests who come to the door to eat. ”

Chang Tai's face twitched unconsciously, and even the fox's brows were twisted, he looked at Xing Ruyi and asked, "Where did you know about such an inn?" I warn you, don't go to such a place! ”

Xing Ruyi lowered his head, stuck out his tongue, and whispered: "I want to go?" But even if there is really an inn in the desert, there must be no glamorous proprietress Jin Xiangyu. ”

"What did you say?" The fox's ears were sharp, and he naturally heard Xing Ruyi's whispered muttering, he was angry and funny, but he could only stare at her with such a pair of smiling eyes: "I said I was not allowed to go, but if you really want to go, I can accompany you." If there's no inn over there, we'll build one, and if there's no glamorous hostess, it's okay to change to a temperamental. ”

"You mean, let me go and open a black shop in the desert?" Xing Ruyi's eyes lit up, and he thought it was also a good proposal.

"Ahem! Ahem! Chang Tai coughed three times on the side: "These things about opening a black shop, can you find another time to discuss, anyway, I still have the court's money, and I can't pretend not to hear it." ”

Xing Ruyi laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he even bent his thin waist. After a long time, she couldn't hold back her laughter, got up and looked at Chang Tai and said, "Brother Chang, you are really interesting." Don't worry, if one day Ruyi really goes to open a black shop in the desert, he will definitely bring you and Xiao Shengzi with him. ”

"What do you take us for?" Chang Tai asked suspiciously, his face was clear, and he wrote a line of words clearly: "Is it difficult, you still take us to arrest you?" ”

Xing Ruyi covered her mouth and laughed again, she smiled while still trying to wave her hand to Chang Tai: "Brother Chang, you misunderstood, I didn't take you with me, let you watch me commit the crime, and then arrest me and send me to the yamen, I don't have such a low IQ, okay?"

I'm taking you to show me the nursing home. Think about it, two people who have been caught fast in the capital go to help me look at the store, how domineering it is, isn't it? Besides, if you encounter some people who are not long-eyed to collect protection money, you can also give full play to the residual heat of catching fast, put on a posture to scare them, if you are not long-eyed, just right, twist it into the yamen to earn us some extra money! ”

Speaking of this, Xing Ruyi's eyes lit up, he came to Chang Tai, and asked mysteriously: "Brother Chang, I suddenly thought of an excellent career, I think it is faster and more promising than you, and it sounds cooler, do you want to consider handing over a letter of resignation to Xie Xuan, who is far away in Luoyang, and re-choose your career plan?" ”

Chang Taizhang and the second monk were confused, not to say, even with the ability to think about to knot, he raised his head, looked at the fox, and humbly asked: "That, what is Ruyi talking about?" ”

"Master Chang doesn't have to pay attention to her!" The fox covered Xing Ruyi's mouth, and then forcefully dragged her back from Chang Tai: "She's just talking nonsense!" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xing Ruyi opened the fox's palm and said to Chang Tai excitedly: "Really, I really thought of a particularly good career, not only suitable for Brother Chang and Xiao Shengzi, but also for you." Well, if Li Mao and Yin Yuan are interested, they can also give it a try.

Let me think, how about we set up a Bounty Hunter Corporation? Brother Chang and Xiao Shengzi are responsible for arresting those Jiangyang thieves, if they encounter particularly difficult ones, you will take action.

If this can be rewarded by the list, how can it be a hundred taels, no matter how little, I am afraid that the government will not have that face to post it. Don't say much, over the course of a year, I caught him a hundred or dozens of them, which is more than what I made by selling rouge gouache.

If you encounter that kind of strange and bizarre case, you will be in charge, let Li Mao run errands to catch it, and occasionally let Yin Yuan practice his hands, which not only cultivates Xiao Yinyuan's money-making skills, but also exercises his professional instinct to survive on the rivers and lakes, which will help him develop himself and grow freely in the future. The more bizarre the case, the more money there is, and occasionally we will do a few more water and land dojos, catch demons, exorcise evil spirits, catch ghosts or something, how can it cost thousands of taels of silver. ”

The more Xing Ruyi talked, the more he felt that this matter was reliable, so he simply pushed the fox away, squatted on the ground and pulled it with his hands. The fox watched from the sidelines, and felt that this punishment Ruyi lacked a golden abacus in her hand, because at this time, she had completely fallen into the eyes of money.

Chang Tai was originally confused, but when he listened to it, he understood. It turned out that Xing Ruyi said that a more suitable profession for him was to be a bounty hunter. He is not unfamiliar with this, because their yamen will also post such strange things, and there are really people who catch prisoners and send them to the yamen to receive bounties. It's just that at that time, he didn't know that this kind of person also had a title and a saying.

Excluding the idea that Ruyi wanted him to be a bounty hunter, he felt that these ideas of Ruyi were really business-minded, and in time, this girl would inevitably become the richest businessman in Luoyang, and even the richest person in the world, because she really loved money so much that even Gongzi Yin was willing to send it out to make money.

The fox knew that Xing Ruyi loved money, and he didn't mind that she loved money, and he knew that as a human being, he always had his own tiny dreams. For example, some people prefer the country, some people like beauties, and some people are greedy for power and want to be officials, so it is not surprising that someone like Ruyi is greedy for money, and his little lady, Xiao Ruyi wants to be a woman who loves money and takes it in a good way, but she is not worried that she will go astray.

Seeing that she was almost done, the fox bent down and dragged her up from the ground: "The ground is cold, if you want to calculate, I will ask Li Mao to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you when you go back." Right now, I think you should go to the Dragon Gate Inn with Master Chang. Perhaps, those who are missing, the missing ones are really different! ”

"Do you think those missing people have something to do with Ningxiang's Dragon Gate Inn?" Xing Ruyi blinked, vaguely feeling that this fox knew something, but he never told himself. It's okay not to say it, but I'm not interested in it.

The fox tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile: "Whether it's related or not, you have to check it to know." Maybe you'll find something even more interesting in the inn! ”

"More fun than making money?" Xing Ruyi's eyes became brighter and brighter, she pulled the corner of the fox's clothes and asked with a smile.

The fox nodded, smiled and said nothing, but the hand under the cuff reached out, and then quietly took hers.
