Chapter 78: Misfortune - Heirloom Jade Seal
After Yanli finished washing, looking through the small wooden window of the room, she could see half of Qingzhou at a glance.
This Qingzhou is not big, it is not small, and it is still difficult to find something.
Is the woman in the portrait related to the jade seal?
If you want to say that the person who can get the jade seal the most is probably the most powerful person in Qingzhou, then in addition to the county government, there are other officials with good quality, or one of the richest people in Qingzhou.
Instead of aimlessly guessing, it is better to start first and find out the truth tonight.
Yan Li looked at the bustling street and fell into deep thought. It wasn't until a knock on the door pulled her thoughts back.
opened the door and found that it was the shopkeeper who sent the food over, and the shopkeeper was stunned for a while after seeing Yanli's true face of Lushan.
For a while, I forgot that I was slapped in the face in front of the public.
Yan Li has long been accustomed to this feeling of being stared at, she turned sideways and said indifferently: "Send it in." ”
Hearing her voice, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, remembered that he was stunned by the beauty, lost his sense of proportion, blushed for a while, and hurriedly walked into the house with the food.
"Guest, guest officer, this is the signboard of our store, you can try it." The shopkeeper said, scratching the back of his head cutely.
Yan Li nodded.
The shopkeeper said again: "The small one will retreat first, and if there is something to call the small one, you can call the small one." ”
As he spoke, he took two steps back before turning around, and was about to leave, when Yan Li behind him stopped him: "Wait a minute." ”
A hint of joy flashed on the shopkeeper's face, and he smiled flatteringly: "Does the guest officer have any other orders?" ”
Yan Li beckoned to him, motioned for him to come closer, and then said, "I want you to inquire about something first." ”
"Guest officer, you say."
"Has something happened in Qingzhou recently? Our four sisters came from a foreign country, and when we entered the city, we saw the official holding a portrait and checking it, and only after asking did we know that it was a murderer. ”
Yan Li paused, pretending to whisper mysteriously: "Who are the people who were killed?" ”
Afraid of being detected or misunderstood, Yan Li consciously explained: "Our four sisters are all weak women who are powerless, and they are strangers in a foreign land, and they are afraid of accidentally getting into trouble, so it is better to be careful when acting, right?" ”
"This ......," the shopkeeper hesitated.
Yan Li immediately understood, so she took out a piece of broken silver that was enough to be one or two: "I was so offended to you just now, little brother, I really can't help it." ”
After the shopkeeper saw the money, his eyes immediately enlarged, he looked at the door with a thief's eyebrows, and then quickly took the silver from Yan Li's hand and quietly stuffed it.
"Guest, don't you know, this thief suddenly appeared three months ago. Before that, someone secretly rumored that the legendary jade seal of the country appeared in our Qingzhou, and then a lot of outsiders poured in in the past few months, and the thief also appeared from that time.
She is very bold, as long as she hears that the jade seal has fallen into someone's house, she will go to someone's house to search, if she doesn't see the rumored jade seal, she will kill someone to warn.
That person came and went without a trace, like a ghost at night, and now in Qingzhou, as long as someone talks about this heirloom jade seal, they will change color. ”
In general, the four words of the jade seal have become taboo in Qingzhou.
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper sighed and shook his head helplessly: "It is said that this heirloom jade seal is a good treasure, but in the eyes of us ordinary people, it is a disaster." ”
Yan Li nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you, little brother." ”
"You girls, you must be cautious outside." The shopkeeper instructed with concern: "If there is nothing else, the small one will retreat first." ”
