While Steward Qiu and Xiao Mingzi were talking in the house, Meizi had been standing not far away to observe Steward Qiu's hut until Xiao Ming came out and returned to his dormitory, it was almost midnight.

Meizi calculated, tonight since Xiao Ming called Steward Qiu back to the house, the two of them talked in Steward Qiu's room for a full hour.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops made a terrible sound in the courtyard, as if God was dissatisfied and poured all the rain in the sky on the ground.

Mei Zi returned to the Wang shopkeeper's house, the Vietnamese captain and the Wang shopkeeper were playing chess, Mei Zi reported her discovery, Wang shopkeeper stopped the chess pieces in his hand, thought for a while and said, "This is not a good sign." ”

Vietnam: "Do you think they colluded?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang: "Only the two of them know the details of the people who came to archive, and I was not there at the time." Later, I asked Xiao Mingzi to go out and stare at the person who took the dang, there must be clues that we don't know, and they know that if they unite, Xiao Mingzi is a good helper for Steward Qiu,......。 ”

Meizi: "Then let's do it." “

Shopkeeper Wang: "What do you mean?" “

Meizi: "Tie Steward Qiu to me, I will look for the plate with him, everything is difficult at the beginning, and he will take the first step first." ”

Vietnam: "When the time comes, you will." Vietnam made a neck-pinching gesture.

The king's shopkeeper: "I'll talk to him tomorrow." ”

Vietnam asked Meizi: "Tang Yuan County is familiar with it." ”

Meizi: "Hi. I walked around the county all day, and I ate all the restaurants. ”

Vietnam laughed and said, "You have made a meritorious service, and the portrait can come in handy." Let's act as soon as possible, we are short on time, and we will only have a few months until the end of the year. There is not much money, plum, hard work. ”

Meizi: "Serving the Empire, it should be like this, not hard!" ”

Bai Haitang and Zhu Yonghe sat on the kang and smoked, listening to the sound of the rain, and they didn't feel sleepy at all. They had been discussing the details of their meeting with Steward Qiu in five days.

Bai Haitang took a piece of clothing and put it on Zhu Yonghe, and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, what did you say when you saw Lao Kan the day before yesterday?" ”

Zhu Yonghe said: "The day after tomorrow, Lao Kan attended Lao Huang's funeral on behalf of his comrades-in-arms, and I gave Lao Kan 1,000 and told him that I would not go." ”

Bai Haitang: "Well done, fortunately, I have money with me." ”

Zhu Yonghe: "Lao Kan helped me at the East Gate, and he also helped me to find Lao Huang, but now that the person is dead, he feels guilty and asks me what is going on." ”

Bai Haitang: "What did you say?" ”

Zhu Yonghe: "I didn't say a word. Or the fewer people who know, the better. ”

Bai Haitang: "If we can do this, we can do it, our daughter and Huzi, and try not to get involved in this matter." ”

Zhu Yonghe: "Sleep." I hope this time Steward Qiu can help. ”

This night, Yang Huai couldn't sleep either, and sang a small song of the two of them very seriously in the house, which was obviously not in tune, and it was very ugly.

Yang Pao pushed the door in and said, "Little Ancestor, it's almost midnight, can you be normal." Don't spoil the two of them anymore, our dog has been protesting. ”

Yang Huai listened carefully, the dog's barking was full of evil flavor, and he himself was happy, and said, "It's true." Dad, I was upset, and my grandfather asked me to go to the gate to help Cui's house. ”

Yang Pao said happily: "You have finished learning abacus." Is it to help manage the money? ”

Yang Huai said: "If you want to be beautiful, it's impossible. ”

Yang Pao said: "He has a lot of cattle and horses, you learn to treat horses, this industry should be respected, let your father and I be stained." ”

Yang Huai: "To learn to treat horses, you have to go to the Liu family's compound to find the old grandson, and no one else can."

Yang Pao: "Your father hates the Liu family." ”

Yang Huai said: "I, I'll go to the county seat to find my uncle in two days to see if he recruits people there." Hulutun, I've had enough. ”

Yang Pao said: "You want to be a policeman? All right. Go to sleep, that's it, be a cop! ”

The next morning, the sun was shining, and it was a new day!

The rain stopped, the "Yongchang Pawnshop" opened as usual, the road in front of the door was potholed, muddy and difficult to walk, Steward Qiu and Xiao Ming found some dry soil and wooden boards, and were paving the path in front of the door.

Shopkeeper Wang and Meizi came from the west side of the road, no need to ask them to eat breakfast, the breakfast shop next door is very delicious, very bad, small pickles are also authentic, since the cousin of the shopkeeper Wang came, they often go to drink porridge in the morning.

The shopkeeper Wang said: "Steward Qiu, let Xiao Mingzi do it, come to my house, and discuss something." ”

Steward Qiu: "Uh-huh. Steward Qiu walked into the shop with Shopkeeper Wang and Meizi.

Entering the house of the king's shopkeeper, Meizi naturally poured a glass of water for Steward Qiu, and sat next to him.

Shopkeeper Wang said: "Steward Qiu, I would like to formally introduce to you, this is my cousin Shanyan." Shanyan, Steward Qiu is an expert in antiques, calligraphy and painting, you should learn more from him. ”

Meizi nodded at Steward Qiu.

Steward Qiu hurriedly said, "You are polite, polite." ”

The shopkeeper Wang said: "Steward Qiu, I don't think I can delay that plate any longer, it will be difficult to find after a long time." You and my cousin, first go through the clues in front of you, look for this person, see who he is from, and what his name is. ”

Steward Qiu: "Are you asking me to leave the pawnshop and go down to Tunzi?" Just like we went to the countryside to receive the goods last year? ”

Shopkeeper Wang: "That's what it means. I also asked a few people, but there were no useful clues. Simply, you pretend to be brothers and sisters to collect mountain goods and go around, you know this person, what about Meizi, there is a portrait in your hand. Once you find this person, don't alarm him, come back and report to me alone, and I will immediately bring the money over. Steward Qiu, although Shanyan is not familiar with this place, she will do some work to protect you. ”

Meizi deliberately said: "Cousin, we work so hard, what's the benefit." ”

Shopkeeper Wang said: "I pay for the travel expenses, I pay for the meals, and Steward Qiu's monthly salary is a lot." When I go home at the end of the year, I will add one percent more dividends, what about it? ”

Steward Qiu completely understood that the shopkeeper Wang wanted to tie himself up.

Steward Qiu pretended to agree and said, "I think it's okay, let's decide it first." There are still a few days until September, and I still have some accounts in hand, so I will sort it out, and I will also touch the clues with the mountain swallow girl, let's go out and fight not to take a detour. ”

Meizi: "Uh-huh. You're right, don't take a detour. I have a map of Tang Yuan here, but it's too thick, so tell me more about it. ”

Steward Qiu: "Yes. The treasurer, let the carriage be ready. ”

Shopkeeper Wang: "No problem. ”
