"Ah Xuan, come in."

Mr. Shang opened the window to welcome Li Xuan, who had returned.

He had been observing the movements of the Siyun Grain Store all night, for fear of causing some accidents.

Because of the fear of alarming the masters in the Siyun grain shop, Mr. Shang did not dare to investigate with all five senses, so he could only observe the situation in the Siyun grain shop with the naked eye.

As a result, after waiting for a while, I saw a pair of shiny cat pupils approaching, and my hanging heart finally let go.

Regardless of the mission, at least Li Xuan came back safely.

Li Xuan directly climbed into the open window, and then said a proud "meow" to Mr. Shang.

Hearing this movement, Manager Shang couldn't help but smile, knowing that Li Xuan's action tonight was nine times out of ten.

Mr. Shang hurriedly closed the window.

Only then did Li Xuan turn over all the account books in the Dihong Bone Ring.

Ten books as thick as bricks.

Mr. Shang was excited.

"Okay, good, Ah Xuan, you did a good job!"

"Didn't alarm them, did you?"

Mr. Shang almost clapped his hands with joy.

But it was late at night, which forced him to resist the urge.

Mr. Shang didn't light the lamp, just picked up an account book, leaned into the moonlight by the window and checked it.

Li Xuan also leaned over with a curious face, and found that there was nothing too special on it, it was all ordinary records of entry and exit.

How much rice was sold today, how much money was collected, how much inventory came in the warehouse, and how much was the corresponding loss, and so on.

Li Xuan couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this account book.

"Is this really what Emperor Yongyuan has worked so hard to get?"

At this time, Mr. Shang suddenly chuckled twice and said to Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, you don't see anything strange, do you?"

Listening to what Mr. Shang meant, he seemed to have seen that there was something wrong with this account book.

"Ah Xuan, look here."

Mr. Shang said, pointing to a line in the account book, where the income and expenditure of a certain day were recorded.

"I don't know how your arithmetic is, you can see if the account of this day is correct."

Manager Shang gave a hint and let Li Xuan see the doorway for himself.

Li Xuan immediately followed the instructions of General Manager Shang and looked at those numbers carefully, and when he compared them, he found that income and expenditure were counted together, and they were not the sum on the books at all.

"The numbers in this account book are miscalculated?"

He then looked closely, and found that there was always such a problem, and it was not very wrong, occasionally by one or two digits, and it looked like the books of a careless bookkeeper.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Manager Shang also knew that he had seen that something was wrong.

"These false numbers are the key, and there should be a corresponding way to decipher them."

"They were really careful, not only did they hide the account books, but they also put a lot of effort into keeping the account books."

"But there are people in the palace who are in charge of these decryption work, so it's good to hand them over when the time comes."

"The task on our side has been completed."

Mr. Shang had already confirmed the authenticity of the account books, and with a sigh of relief, he put the account books back on the ground.

"Ah Xuan, for the sake of prudence, these account books should be placed with you."

"When you return to the palace, you will present it to Your Majesty in person."

As Mr. Shang spoke, he winked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan understood that this was for him to ask Emperor Yongyuan for credit, so that he could ask for the opportunity to enter Riyantan on the first day of the new year.

Li Xuan knew it in his heart, and he was not polite, and immediately used the Dihong bone ring to put away all the account books.

"Alright, Ah Xuan."

"You've worked hard today, rest early."

Mr. Shang smoothed Li Xuan's hair, and then pointed to the bed in the room and asked him to go and sleep well.

Li Xuan meowed and agreed.

He was very excited all day because he was out of the palace today, and now that he had completed the task and relaxed, he really felt tired for a while.

He already felt too much, but he didn't squint much after a day of excitement today.

Li Xuan habitually climbed to the head of the bed, but there was no Princess Ankang to sleep with him, which made him feel a little empty in his heart.

It's just that his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and he gradually can't bear the sleepiness.

Before closing his eyes, Li Xuan saw that Manager Shang was still standing by the window dutifully, observing the movements of the Siyun Grain Shop.

It looks like Mr. Shang is planning to keep watch all night.

At this time, Li Xuan didn't care about anything else, slowly lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Xuan was awakened by a cacophony of sounds.

Someone outside was shouting that the water was gone.

Li Xuan immediately got up from the bed and saw that Manager Shang was still standing by the window, but now he was frowning.

He also hurriedly jumped to the window, only to see a raging fire in the direction of the Siyun grain store, and the neighborhood was full of people who were busy fighting the fire.

Li Xuan looked at the sky in the distance, the sky was faintly bright at this time, and the sun had just emerged from the mountains in the east.

"Ah Xuan, I'm glad you managed to get it last night."

Mr. Shang looked at the four grain shops that had become a sea of fire, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Meow?"

Li Xuan looked at Manager Shang in confusion, not understanding his kung fu of sleeping, and the Siyun Grain Shop was burned to this virtue.

Mr. Shang explained:

"Ah Xuan, have you seen those officials below?"

Mr. Shang raised his chin and gestured not far away.

Li Xuan looked down, and sure enough, he saw a team of officials in the crowd fighting the fire, leading the surrounding people to fight the fire.

It's just that the fire is fierce and can't be controlled at all for a while.

"Those are the officials of Wannian County, just now after the four grain shops opened, they came to ask the shopkeeper of the four grain shops to cooperate with the investigation, but the shopkeeper said yes, but secretly opened the mechanism in the counter and ignited a fierce fire."

"In the eyes of the officials and the people, the shopkeeper was directly ignited, and the guy was also fighting the fire inside, but now he is gone."

"But I think they had already arranged that there might be two corpses left in the fire, but they had already left from elsewhere."

"I can feel that the shopkeeper has inspired the body to protect himself at the moment of being ignited."

Mr. Shang sneered disdainfully, and his eyes were full of cold light.

If there is a choice, now that the account books are in hand, he can't wait to kill these two people on the spot.

Just in order not to affect Emperor Yongyuan's plan, Mr. Shang could only endure this impulse.

Early in the morning, Boryeongfang was devastated by the sudden fire, and even the shops around the Siyun grain store were also affected by the disaster, and the losses were heavy.

And as the monk chief expected, there were indeed two charred corpses left in the burned four grain shops, and there was no doubt that their figures were those of the shopkeeper and his companions.

The fire was not completely extinguished until near noon, and seeing that the fire was under control, Mr. Shang took Li Xuan to check out and leave.

After paying the high price of ten taels of silver, Mr. Shang found a carriage at the carriage and horse shop on the side of the road and went to Ping An Commercial Bank.

This time, after Mr. Shang entered Ping An Commercial Bank from the main entrance, someone immediately came up to ask them about their intentions.

After finding a steward, Mr. Shang flashed a token, and this steward didn't talk much nonsense, and led them directly to the room where Mr. Shang changed his appearance yesterday.

"Distinguished guests, please take care of yourself, if you have something to tell the small ones."

The steward, who seemed to have some status, said politely, and then turned to leave.

After entering the room, it didn't take long for Manager Shang and Li Xuan to return to their original state.

It is much easier to remove makeup than it is to make it easier than when it is easy to make.

Manager Shang didn't take advantage of Li Xuan, and returned the human skin mask to him.

With the ability of General Manager Shang, it is not difficult to collect these things, and there is no need to take advantage of Li Xuan.

At this time, the eunuchs in charge of purchasing had already finished their errands and loaded everything into the carriage.

The empty carriage that came was now full.

They had done the purchase yesterday and had been waiting for Mr. Shang to come back.

Mr. Shang checked the purchase list, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned to the palace with the convoy.

When he went back, Mr. Shang personally drove a carriage, and Li Xuan hid behind Mr. Shang.

On the way back, Li Xuan also looked at the prosperity of the capital curiously, thinking about how good it would be if he could enter and leave the palace freely in the future.

He found the capital much more interesting than the palace.

It should be said that compared to the two, the palace is too boring.

It is far less than in this capital, even if there are all kinds of people on the road, and all kinds of interesting things happen between them.

On the way back, Li Xuan looked at the pedestrians and the scenery, but there was still a question lingering in his heart.

He quietly stretched out his tail and gestured on the back of Mr. Shang.

"Manager Shang, what's wrong with the four grain shops?"

Manager Shang noticed the handwriting written by Li Xuan behind his back, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He also thought that this time Li Xuan could endure it for so long before asking him.

Mr. Shang continued to drive the carriage, and then replied in a voice that only they could hear:

"Ah Xuan, when you see Your Majesty later, ask in person."

Seeing that Mr. Shang said this, although Li Xuan felt a little dissatisfied, he did not continue to entangle.

"If you ask Emperor Yongyuan, you will ask Emperor Yongyuan."

I did an errand for him, so I always have the right to know.

But Li Xuan thought, I'm afraid that with Emperor Yongyuan's half-talkative character, I'm afraid he won't tell him the truth.

For some reason, Li Xuan felt that the way back to the palace was much faster than when he came out.

Soon the convoy arrived at the Imperial City Gate, which led to the West Palace.

At this time, Li Xuan saw the name of this city gate.

【Tongming Gate】

Li Xuan remembered the location of this place.

Because this is the fastest road from the West Palace to the capital.

It's just that there are many forbidden troops in front of this clear gate, and those few forbidden army commanders are not good characters at first glance.

Li Xuan had the ability to jump out of the imperial city directly, but if he did so, he was afraid that he would immediately attract the attention of the master of Ouchi.

After seeing Ye Lao, Li Xuan didn't dare to despise the master of the imperial city.

The last time he jumped and landed was in the courtyard of the head of the Internal Affairs Office.

Li Xuan estimated that if he landed somewhere else, he was afraid that he would immediately receive a warm "pick-up ceremony".

"I still have to find a proper name to enter and exit the palace."

"Maybe you can wait for Ankang to come out of the palace in the future."

"When the time comes, we can play wherever we want."

Li Xuanchang thought about the future, and his face couldn't help but have a lot of expectations.

The capital is so interesting, he wants to bring the two girls out to see and see.

Thank you for the support of "Angel Love Smile".

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

Next, we will keep the state of two watches.

Good night everyone, and we'll see you tomorrow~
