Chapter 28: The Old Case (8)

Boss Ding thought about it again and said: "It was only a year before his son's accident that he stopped the spice business, changed to a garment and dyeing business, and bought paddy fields. I guess it's because the spice road is broken. I've never bought such a good quality spice since. ”

"So I guess it's a revenge from the enemy in the business field, and you know this kind of thing." Boss Ding gestured to his neck.

Yun Pan nodded, "I heard that there is a lot of smuggling among fishermen in Minzhou, and the city is not easy to manage." Some fishermen even fight for turf. ”

An Ying asked again: "Fan Xianlong also has a younger brother, and they have been doing business together?" Do they have a good relationship? ”

Boss Ding slapped the table and said, "I was about to say this, he has a younger brother named Fan Xianhu." Originally, the two brothers were too good to be good, Fan Xianlong took his younger brother with him wherever he went, and his younger brother has always lived in Fan Xianlong's house. Since his son's accident, I heard that Fan Xianlong and Fan Xianhu have separated. Now I privately guess if my younger brother killed my nephew for my brother's family wealth. ”

It was already sunset when he came out of Jiufuji, and An Ying looked at the Spring Breeze Pavilion opposite, which had been lit with lanterns, and the figures were shuttling.

Climb over the Hongqiao, and walk for a few quarters of an hour to the Wang Po's foot shop.

Wang Po's foot shop is at the back of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and under the background of the noisy and brilliant Spring Breeze Pavilion, it looks lonely and depressed.

The current owner of Wang Po's foot shop is Wang Da.

There were only two tables in the store, and Yun Pan and An Ying were talking to Wang Da at the door.

"Wang Da, when the Fan family kidnapped case, you helped your aunt in the store. No one came at the time of the crime, so you just have two tables, and you can remember a few people who have sat at this table, right? How can you not be impressed at all? ”

Wang Da is a middle-aged fat man, he looked at Yun Pan carefully, and said, "My lord, the shop is small, but we also do delivery business." In order to earn more, in addition to selling wine, my aunt also had to sell braised vegetables and scones, and both of us were very busy. You see, it's me and my daughter-in-law now, and we're too busy right now. ”

An Ying looked up, and sure enough, there were several guys in short brown clothes waiting at the door of the small shop with food boxes.

An Ying couldn't help asking, "This delivery business is so good?" ”

Wang Da smiled proudly, "Hey, my aunt's lo-mei craftsmanship is a must." Look at the Spring Breeze Pavilion in front of you, you can't learn how many big bells you have. Later, when the adults ate and drank wine, they all asked the men to come to us and buy them directly. ”

"Also, the guys from Chunfeng Pavilion are running errands all over the city, and the adults inside want to eat the mutton of the Zhang family in the north of the city, the fish soup of the Huang family in the west of the city, and the fresh fruit of Li Ji in the east of the city, they all bring it to you."

"So you're a regular guest at both tables? There should be only a few old customers, right? ”

Wang Dadao: "My lord, look at the people inside, they are all coolies from the dock in front of them who came to eat some cheap wine." If I wanted to say the name, I reported it to the officials who ran the errand at that time, and there were few people who could write. ”

After that, he shouted at the head again: "Ah Wu, have you also been asked by the people of the government?" ”

A head stuck out of the window next to him, "Yes, sir, we have been asked many times, we really don't know about the sticker note under the table." ”

An Ying walked in, it was very small, and there were two tables under the window.

When the man named Ah Wu saw An Ying coming in, he stood up and said, "Come, little official, sit here." Then he shouted to the woman at the counter next to him, "Come and serve this little official a plate of braised intestines." ”

An Ying looked at Yun Pan and knew that he would never come in here to eat, and he said politely in Jiufu Ji just now, but he didn't eat a bite. This table looks like it has not been cleaned for many years, and the grease is thick, and Yun Pan's white clothes are estimated to be destroyed when he sits down.

An Ying sat down and asked, "Since it's all a few of you regular customers here, it stands to reason that if a stranger comes over, you can find out." If there are no strangers, it's just a few of you who put up notes. Isn't that simple? Isn't it that you guys are hiding something? ”

The man named Ah Wu suddenly blushed, slapped the table and said, "Little official, don't talk nonsense." A few of us have honestly explained it to the official, and we can testify to each other, and whoever eats is empty will put a note under the table. Do you say, Brother Strong? ”

The man named Brother Dali on the side said: "This little official, I'm not afraid to tell you that the four of us who have often sat at this table for so many years have been questioned by the government hundreds of times. ”

"Besides, we can put up a note here, and we can't get into the two stores opposite, right?"

An Ying paused for a moment, she looked at the guys waiting at the door, and asked, "Then will these guys come in?" ”

Ah Wu said: "Sometimes, after waiting for a long time, just come in and sit down, and a few of us rough people will not drive people." When you say this, it reminds me that many guys are sitting here waiting for the princess to fill him with food, and maybe they have unknowingly pasted something under the table. ”

"But then you can't find out. This guy who comes and goes, and besides, it was five years ago, and I don't know how many batches have been changed. ”

Seeing that they couldn't ask anything anymore, An Ying and Yun Pan went home.

It was already dark when I returned to the Punishment Department.

An Ying thought that she could at least eat something good with Yun Pan, and was about to put down her things and go to the dining hall with him.

I saw Yun Pan say lightly at the door, there is something to do today, I will go home first.

An Ying said in his heart, he knew that he would eat more outside. I had no choice but to go to the canteen to nibble on some dry biscuits.

She had just gone out when she met Yang Ye coming in with a food box.

"Anshinao, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Yang Ye said while opening the food box: "I still have some dishes in the morning, I will fill some food boxes for you." You'll eat it quickly, but it's good that it's hot, and it won't be cold for a while. ”

An Ying saw that a plate of salt-fried noodles with some boiled vegetables was indeed a better meal in the canteen.

After a day of running, An Ying was indeed tired, so she sat down and picked up chopsticks and ate them.

Yang Ye also brought a bowl of licorice soup, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

An Ying was surprised: "Where did you get the licorice soup?" Is there this in the dining hall? ”

Yang Ye raised his eyes proudly, "I bought it from the sugar water shop opposite." ”

An Ying was a little embarrassed, "This makes you break the bank, how embarrassing, how much money, I'll give it to you." ”

Yang Ye waved his hand, "A bowl of soup is only a few dollars." Hurry up and eat, there is a lantern boat in Jinshui River tonight, let's go see it together? ”

"What lantern ship?" An Ying asked as she ate.

"You don't even know that? Before the Chinese Valentine's Day, the restaurants along the Jinshui River will pay to make lantern boats, and people in the city will go to see the excitement at that time. ”
