Bai Changsheng hurriedly came out of the room, ran out of the inn again, and stumbled all the way to the entrance of the Eighteen Hutong.

Looking left and right, looking carefully, Bai Changsheng gasped:

"Sure enough, it's here."

When he was "sleepwalking", he clearly saw Wen Yan carrying a bag of marijuana, sneakily walking in the direction of an alley.

And the appearance of the alley mouth I remembered at the beginning, and it was exactly the same as the eighteen alleys now!

Could it be that Wen Yan is here? The sack he was carrying... Could it be that there is a corpse of Wenwu inside? Do you want to hide here or something?

Bai Changsheng thought about it left and right, and his heart was uneasy, so he could only follow the direction of Wen Yan who "dreamed" that day according to his memory, thinking about what clues he could find.

"Looks like this is it..."

Bai Changsheng was halfway through, and there was already no way out.

The front is also deserted, and in front of me to the halfway of the eighteen alleys, there is no fork in the road at all, just a wall, and half of the ground is barren and desolate.

Could it be that it was buried here, and then it was dug up and sent to himself?

Bai Changsheng was not very convinced, and bent down to take a closer look at the ground: it was smooth and unpretentious, and there were no traces of being excavated, and it didn't look like a buried corpse at all.

I looked at it in the barren grass again, and there was no trace of being overwhelmed by heavy objects, the ground was full of dust, and there were no footprints to be found, Wen Yan should not have been here.

Standing up and patting the ash on his hands, Bai Changsheng was puzzled:

The case is getting more and more tricky, but the scene that day is definitely not without purpose, and we have to find another way.

I turned around and walked out of the eighteen alleys along the road, standing at the mouth of the alley, and there was a pawnshop on the right.

Bai Changsheng pondered for a moment, if Wenwu Wenyan had been here, someone would definitely see it.

Or go in and ask, maybe you will get something. Bai Changsheng made up his mind, lifted his robe and entered the pawnshop.

As soon as I came in, I felt that this pawnshop was very bright and spacious, with plaques and couplet inscriptions.

The couplet of the title is very peculiar, and Bai Changsheng recognized that this is the pair in front of the gate of the Hades Palace in folklore:

If you have a heart to do good, you will not be rewarded for your kindness

Evil deeds without intention are punished

It's a funny pair, but why is it in front of the pawnshop?

Bai Changsheng didn't know, maybe the shopkeeper had his own reasons.

When I looked at it with questions, I saw that the tables and chairs in the room were also very elegantly placed.

The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the five tigers are vigorous, there are all kinds of rare treasures on the shelves, and there is a jade tiger standing at the door, and the business of this pawnshop should be very prosperous.

In the middle of the room, there is a chair, the mahogany is luxurious, which is particularly eye-catching.

This chair is the top seat that the shopkeeper usually sits on, and it is higher than the ordinary table and chair, which is called "a stool (etc)"!

It is also the business of a pawnshop:

The boss sits a little higher than the customer, suppressing the customers who come here to pawn the treasure in terms of momentum, taking the opportunity to bargain.

Bai Changsheng knew this method when he was working as a tent in the pawnshop before.

Bai Changsheng nodded, looked at the jade tiger again, and touched it again, it was round and smooth.

More than one person tall, carved from white jade, it seems to be a newly made thing.

The seal is in the tiger's tail, and the two tiger's eyes are shining and shining, and there are two gems inlaid on them, which are extravagant when they look at it.

Under the gems, the beard of the jade tiger is twisted out of gold wire, the spots on the tiger's body are made of gold, and the four claws are a combination of purple gold and silver.

Bai Changsheng has a relative: When will he be able to have such a big house? also put these good objects, this jade tiger is relieved to look at.

"Master Ke, you have good eyesight, you can see at a glance that this jade tiger is valuable, you know that you are not a layman, the little one will give you a greeting."

A greeting, I can hear a very philistine voice.

When Bai Changsheng turned around, he saw a young man in his twenties, standing in front of him, rubbing his hands and smiling.

"You're the boss?"

Bai Changsheng asked the person in front of him, and said in his heart that the shopkeeper was quite young.

"We're not counted, it's just a buddy's leg. Master Ke, you are seated, but there are days when you don't come, come and come, the small one will serve you tea. ”

The guy was very polite, and pulled Bai Changsheng to give way to the guest seat. He made tea and poured water, and said with a smile:

"I'll just say, these days when I go out, it's a clear sky outside, I dreamed of Fan Li coming to visit the door last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw a Pi Yi passing through the house, it turned out that God had an omen, and you stepped on the ground!"

Whoever it is, it sounds very pleasant.

Bai Changsheng said in his heart that this young man is really clever, no wonder this place is prosperous, and he can afford to hire such a jade tiger, and the boss is really good at trading.

But this little guy is out of sight today, and it's no wonder:

When ordinary people come, how can they go straight to Yuhu and do it? It seems that Bai Changsheng is regarded as a big customer.

"Don't bother so much, I'm here to inquire about something, I live in Kidnapping Alley."

Bai Changsheng gestured.

When the guy heard this, his face pulled down: What is the place of Kidnapper Alley?

Three teachings and nine streams of gags, I haven't heard of any rich and noble families.

At this time, looking at Bai Changsheng's clothes, he really doesn't look like a rich and noble person.

It's really distracted, the young man secretly spat to himself, and his tone sounded no longer polite:

"What's the matter, I don't know anything except the business."

The guy was a little impatient, sure enough, it was the business of the forces, Bai Changsheng was a little emotional, but he had doubts in his heart, so he had to ask, so he asked:

"Excuse me, a few days ago, did you see a young scholar, in his twenties, very weak. His name is Wen Yan, has he ever passed by or come to your place? ”

When the guy heard this, he drooped his ears and didn't take it to heart at all, and said very tiredly:

"No, no! I said you're okay, hurry up..."

"Shut up! Hugh is rude to the guest! ”

The man was halfway through his speech when he heard a reprimand coming from inside.

When the guy heard this, he quickly lowered his head and laughed back, looking very flattering.

I saw a man coming out of the back room, in his forties, flying obliquely with sideburns upside down, a brocade robe and a waist girdle, and a gorgeous dress and brown shoes.

A discerning person can see at a glance that this is a rich man, and he must be the shopkeeper.

"I've seen the shopkeeper."

Bai Changsheng is a clear-eyed person, and he said in his heart that this is what the boss looks like.

The shopkeeper smiled, pulled the guy aside, and said sternly:

"Blind your dog's eyes, look down on people! The slave who can't teach it, hurry up and bring a good cup of tea to the guest master. ”

When the guy heard this, he slipped away to the back room, brought the tea to the seat, carried all kinds of confessions, and gently patted his face a few times, this is to show Bai Changsheng.

And the shopkeeper also changed color, revealing an amiable expression, and greeted Bai Changsheng:

"You take care of it, this kid doesn't know how to lift, I'll change it for him when I turn around, and I'll relieve your anger."

Bai Changsheng shook his head, how could he not know the words of these trading experts, saying that it was a change for him, and he was still this person when he turned around, just to make himself feel relieved.

"You don't have to, the shopkeeper is polite, I'm just here to ask if I have met this person."

"Dare to ask Mr. Why did he come here to find this Wenyan?"

When Bai Changsheng heard this, this boss should have heard what he asked just now, did he know? Quickly replied that he knew each other, he was just an old customer, and he was looking for something to do.

The boss looked at Bai Changsheng, and after listening, he asked:

"What is your surname, sir?"

"Abduction alley, coffin shop shopkeeper Bai Changsheng."

As soon as the pawnshop owner heard this, as soon as Bai Changsheng finished speaking, both of them had a sudden change in complexion!
