After making an appointment to meet again, Mo Ling politely declined Hua Ruoran's invitation to appreciate the medicine together, saying that she had something important to do, and she was afraid that she would not stay in Huangyaozhuang for a long time. Hua Ruoran said regretfully: "There are so many medicinal materials here, I don't know much about them, and I thought that since Childe knows medicine so well, I can ask Childe for advice." ”

"No, no, I just happen to know some medicine names, if the girl wants to know about medicinal materials, you might as well spend a little silver to ask a guy to talk, he must be much clearer than in the next place." ”

"That's not going to be fun. Hua Ruoran pursed her lips, "Forget it, since the son is inconvenient, I won't embarrass the son." ”

"The girl is really understanding, we will meet later. Mo Ling, Hua Ruoran and Cangyun said goodbye, and after seeing the two go away, they quietly asked Fu Qin beside them, "What do you think?"

"What's going on?" Fuqin was a little puzzled.

"You haven't spoken just now, don't you have a little ......" Mo Ling couldn't think of the right words for a while, "No idea?"

"What's the idea?" Fuqin was even more strange.

"Of course it is—" Mo Ling clapped her hands, and finally came up with a suitable statement, "That idea, you see, that eldest lady of the Hua family looks quite handsome, right?"

"And then?" "When I grow up, I will definitely become a beauty." "And then?" "The character is not bad, and there is no malice, if she is really the daughter of the flower family in Jingshan, the power behind it must not be weak - I have said this, haven't you understood?"

"Understood," Fu Qin suddenly realized, "We should befriend her, in this way, we can have one more helper to deal with the Mo family in the future." ”

"......" Mo Ling looked at Fu Qin blankly, she really didn't know what to say, and after a long time, she sighed lightly, "Forget it, I didn't say what I said just now." ”

"Why, what did I say wrong?" Fu Qin asked rhetorically.

"Yes, all right. What you say is exactly what I think and what I intend to do. After that, Mo Ling whispered again, "He stays with me all day long, doesn't he feel sluggish in this regard......

After that, the two wandered around the second floor of the attic for a while, and came to the staircase on the second floor, going to the third floor on one side and the first floor on the other. There were guards armed with spears on both sides, but from the breath, it was obvious that the strength of the third-tier guards was far above the first-tier guards. Mo Ling said to Fu Qin: "It seems that this is the end of today, let's go." ”

"Isn't there a third layer?" Fu Qin said, holding Mo Ling.

"The third floor is not something that can be reached for a little money. Mo Ling smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Even if I could, I wouldn't be willing to spend that money." ”

"Then who can go up?" "For example, the county guard, the clan relatives of the four major families of Jingshan, and the big customers of Huangyaozhuang, there are many people who can go, but they don't include us. "Can Hua Ruoran and Cangyun go up?" "Hmm...... If they show off their jade pendants, they should be able to. "Then why didn't we just go with them?"

"It's too conspicuous," Mo Ling replied immediately, "Their outfit alone is conspicuous enough, and if they show off their jade pendants, then we will also become very conspicuous, and we can't make the people of Huang Yaozhuang think that we are involved with the Hua family, understand." ”

"Makes sense...... Speaking of jade pendants, I have always had a doubt. "You say. "Just now, you and Hua Ruoran asked for collateral, and as soon as you opened your mouth, you mentioned the jade pendant, shouldn't it be a coincidence?" "You really saw it, that's right, I wanted to take a closer look at the jade pendant from the beginning." "Then how did you know that jade pendant was not ordinary?"

"It's very simple, they only went out, and they only brought thirty silver taels with them, and they definitely didn't spend money to go to the second floor like us, if they didn't spend money, they were mostly dignitaries, and they carried things like tokens with them - I guessed a simple one, but I didn't expect to guess correctly. ”

"I see. Fu Qin nodded convincingly, dispelling the doubts in his mind.

After speaking, the two of them conveniently went downstairs and left Huang Yaozhuang directly.

Back on the bustling street, it was close to noon, Fu Qin followed Mo Ling all the way to the west, through the noisy alleys, to a slightly secluded place, looked up at the signboard of the small building, on which three elegant characters were written, Qinxin Building.

Mo Ling did not enter the store, but stood in front of the bluestone slab at the door, staring carefully at the small ink-colored characters on it. It didn't take long for Mo Ling to finish reading the words on the stone tablet and motioned to Fu Qin, "Let's go." ”

"What did you find?" Fu Qin asked curiously.

"If you want to know, why don't you see for yourself? "You know I can't read. "I've heard you say this for many years, why still don't you grow. "If you're literate, I can ask you." "What if you can't ask one day?" "Why?"

"And ask why, you can't always follow ......" Magic Ling sighed softly halfway through, "Forget it, when I didn't say it." There are a few new things, the county keeper ordered to track down the prisoner who set fire to Jing Si Yuan, Tianzi Pavilion was suspended for several days in a row, the four masters did not come forward to the ten thousand medicine conference held today, and the situation in Baihu County was turbulent, and the price of some items increased rapidly. ”

"It sounds like it's all about the big guys. "Of course, after all, it is a group of people standing at the top of Qinglong County, and their every move is watched by others all the time - not to mention this, in addition to the new news, I also found a piece of good news on the credit record of the teahouse. ”

"Is it the money shopkeeper?" "I guess it was, because my name was written on the place where the person took credit." ”

"Haha," Fu Qin couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it possible that everyone in the entire Qinglong City can borrow your name to drink tea here for free?"

"It's okay to drink tea, but if you owe me a favor, it's not so good to pay it back. Mo Ling said this seriously, which surprised Fu Qin, who was originally just joking, and then saw that Mo Ling's expression was relieved, and said with a warm smile: "I'm kidding, there are only a few people who can use my name to give tea on credit, and these people are the least likely to have no money to drink tea." Fuqin?"

"Ahh Fu Qin came back to his senses and nodded, "That's right, you often use this way to send messages to each other. ”

"......" Mo Ling vaguely felt that Fu Qin took his joke a little seriously, but if he imposed an explanation, he would seem to want to cover it up - forget it, after all, it was just a joke.

"When I saw the news of the turmoil in Baihu County just now, I was still a little worried about the matter of explaining to the money manager, but I didn't expect him to be so neat, and he really found someone who was willing to take risks to take over the business. You say—could this be the Kite we're looking for?"

"It can't be such a coincidence," Fu Qin shook his head in disbelief, "The money shopkeeper doesn't know that you want to find Qing Kite." ”

"I think so too, but I think that even if this person is not a kite, he must know him—he can't say he knows him if he doesn't know him. ”

"That's right. Shall we go to the money shopkeeper then?"

"You've forgotten what day it is, and you may not be able to find him now. Why don't you take a break and I'll take you to a fun place. ”

"What's the fun place?" Fu Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Of course it is—" Magic Feather smiled a sinister smile, "you've been waiting for the underground business for a long time. ”

When the sun was about to set, Fu Qin followed Mo Ling into a magnificent money bank. Fu Qin stuck out his tongue secretly, thinking to himself, he didn't seem to care about it just now, but in fact, he wanted to go underground to trade more than I did, no, I would come to the money bank in advance to get the silver ticket.

It was getting late, and there were few remaining customers in the money village, so Mo Ling took Fu Qin around and went out without doing anything. This made Fu Qin wonder, didn't he come to withdraw the money?

The two walked around the street for a while, and returned to the front of the money village again, and the guy who was cleaning in the store saw the two and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's closed today, let's come back tomorrow." ”

"Aren't you going to open the store tonight?" asked Moling. The guy was stunned for a moment with his broom, first shook his head, and then quickly nodded, so Mo Ling asked again, "Won't the store open tonight?"

"Is the guest officer saving or taking?" "If you don't save or take." "Do you want cash or silver tickets?" "You want tokens." "Then the guest officer, please come in." ”

The guy respectfully gave way to the two of them, and the two of them led Fu Qin all the way to the counter at the end, and the person behind the counter didn't raise his head, handed over a pen and paper and an inkstone, "Sign and draw." ”

Mo Ling took the pen and wrote the word "Mo Ling" on the paper, then dipped the thumb of his right hand in ink and pressed a fingerprint next to it, and handed the pen and paper back to the person behind the counter. After a squirming sound, the person behind the cabinet handed out a shiny silver, and Mo Ling picked up the token, lifted the curtain next to it, and slipped into it without saying a word.

It was dark behind the curtain, and two masked men could be seen standing on either side of a door. Mo Ling stepped forward and showed the two of them the token, and one of them opened the door and let Mo Ling in, but stopped Fu Qin.

"He's with me. Moling explained. The two of them didn't speak, just shook their heads. In desperation, Mo Ling had no choice but to return to the lobby of the money village alone, and after a while, he turned back again, but this time he had an extra golden sign in his hand.

"Is this okay?" Mo Ling shook the sign in front of the masked man's eyes, the two big men looked at each other, respectfully gave way to the way, and the person who stopped Fuqin just now bowed his waist and said: "Do things according to the rules, please don't be surprised." ”

Mo Ling snorted coldly, stuffed the gold medal into Fu Qin's hand, and pulled Fu Qin into the door with a confused face.

Behind the door is a wooden table with masks neatly stacked on top of each other, and next to it is a stone staircase that leads to the ground. Mo Ling took two masks from the table, handed one to Fu Qin, and said, "Let's talk about it first, after we go in, just look at it and don't buy it, if it's not necessary, don't even say anything." ”

"Just watch. Fuqin was a little disappointed, "That's so boring." ”

"The water of underground business is deep, and you should be very cautious in buying and selling. Mo Ling put on the mask first, "Also, you put away the gold medal, don't show it." ”

"Oh. After Fu Qin cleaned up as Mo Ling said, he followed behind Mo Ling, walked down the long stone staircase, pushed open a heavy iron door at the end, and smelled a slightly damp fragrance coming to his face.

Smelling this fragrance, Fu Qin only felt relaxed and happy, and his mood was much more open than usual, and he was full of energy to show his talents. Fu Qin turned his head to look at Mo Ling, but saw him frowning, took out a small bottle from his arms, unscrewed the stopper and sucked hard in front of his nose, and then closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's estimated that it's a thousand days drunk again. Fu Qin muttered, just heard by Mo Ling, Mo Ling handed the vial to Fu Qin and shook it, Fu Qin shook his head and said, "No need, I think this tastes good." ”

Mo Ling smiled slightly, didn't say anything, took the vial back into his arms, and motioned for Fu Qin to follow behind him.
