Chapter 6: Sleeping in the Bridge Cave

Xia Yue really took Ye Caitang to the place where he lived, and he lived in six doors, a single-family courtyard.

Ye Caitang took the IOU and looked at it, she had turned over and over the things left by Ye Ming in the past five years, and she was very familiar with his handwriting, if the IOU was fake, she couldn't fool her.

But the IOU is real.

The paper is already a little old, and it is clearly written on it, there is Ye Ming in Baixia Village, borrowing fifty taels of silver from Xia Yue, agreeing to pay off one cent of interest in three years.

Signature, handprint, time and place, detailed and clear.

"This time ......" Ye Caitang calculated: "Is it a month before my father's death?" ”

"Yes." Xia Yue walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

Ye Cai Tanghu said suspiciously: "Five years ago, how old was an adult?" ”

Xia Yue smiled and said one thing that Ye Caitang was even more sad about: "A person's wealth has nothing to do with his age, and I am not in the Six Doors for money." ”

"I didn't see it in my father's belongings."

Ye Caitang just wanted to slap the IOU on his handsome and dashing face.

"I don't know where the money went." Xia Yue said slowly: "At that time, I just came to the capital to do business, and I met Ling Zun by chance, and we were not familiar with each other. I saw his sincerity, and considering that they were all from the yamen, I borrowed it with kindness. ”

Ye Caitang didn't know Xia Yue's family background, but she knew that the head-catching of the six doors was different from the head-catching of the ordinary yamen.

Generally, the head catchers of the yamen are just errands, and some of them are still lowly and have no identity. But the head catcher in the six doors has a grade, even if it is a court official, he has to look at it a few points differently, and he does not dare to offend.

Xia Yue said: "Not long after, I heard that Ling Zun died of illness, I was in the field at that time, I was very sorry to hear this, and I didn't think much about it, I didn't know that he still had your daughter." ”

In fact, it is very unreasonable, if Xia Yue is a stingy person, he will not lend as much as fifty taels to an unfamiliar person.

If Xia Yue was a generous person, he would not chase Ye Caitang and an orphan girl to ask for debts, the amount of this silver is obviously not within her affordability, and it is not something that can be taken out by force.

If it is not reasonable, there must be a demon, Ye Caitang must turn passive into active, and he can't be led by Xia Yue.

Ye Caitang froze: "Lord Xia." ”

"Huh?"

"This is indeed my father's handwriting, and it is only natural to pay off the debt." Ye Caitang said: "It's time to pay it back." ”

Xia Yue was a little surprised that Ye Caitang was so refreshing, so he said: "I also know that it is not easy for you, just forget the interest." You can repay the principal in installments. ”

Ye Caitang thought for a while: "I don't have much money on me, but I have a house at home, and some land, and there is some furniture in the house, so I can discount some money, and adults can take it first." ”

Xia Yue was interested: "You gave me all the house and land, how do you live and where do you live?" ”

Ye Caitang broke the jar and broke: "I can go and ask for food and sleep in the bridge hole." Don't worry, Lord Xia, I will buy a steamed bun with the money I want every day, and save the rest to pay off the debt. ”

"......" Although Xia Yue was well-informed, he was also shocked at this moment.

is worthy of being a daughter, she is really ruthless enough, she can't do this if she is not ruthless.

Ye Caitang was very frank, just looking at Xia Yue like this, as if as long as Xia Yue nodded, she could immediately go to ask for food, Xia Yue, who had been watching, couldn't help but look away slightly.

Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, in fact, he often fights wits and courage with criminals knows very well in his heart, and when he turns his eyes, he has fallen into the wind.

But he really can't force a girl's house to ask for food, which is about to break his bottom line.

Xia Yue slowly put down the IOU: "That's not necessary, I'm not so domineering." Ye Ming is the best work I know, if you really get the true inheritance of your father, I can find you an errand, although sometimes it is hard, it is better than asking for food. ”

Oh, so I'm waiting here.

Ye Caitang immediately said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Xia Yue said: "It has always been difficult to find people in this business, although there are works in the six doors, but they are always too busy. I just listened to you talk eloquently, and you are very knowledgeable, I want you to hang an errand in the six doors and work under me, are you willing? ”

Ye Caitang was very surprised.

This era is different, and it is a state institution like Six Doors, how can it be possible to find a female employee? Are the six doors really short of people, to this point?

Seeing Ye Caitang hesitating, Xia Yue said: "Of course I won't let you do it for nothing, including food and accommodation, two taels of silver per month, and if a major case is solved, there will be a reward." ”

This is simply a gold ingot falling from the sky, such a good thing, so that Ye Caitang has to be careful.

Xia Yue continued: "Although two taels a month is not much, if you save some money, you can pay back the money in three or four years, and maybe you can save some." ”

Ye Caitang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

Xia Yue also smiled: "Otherwise, you can only go and ask for food, I'll give you a bowl, just ask for it near the six doors, if a girl of your family touches a little hooligan or something, shout a voice, I won't die without help." ”

Saying that, Xia Yue walked to the door and greeted Liu Sha: "Go to the kitchen and get me a broken bowl, remember to be missing, Miss Ye will take care of it when you want food in the future." ”

Liu Sha actually answered and really walked out.

Having said that, what else did Ye Caitang say, knowing that this was a cake smeared with poison, he could only gnaw it with tears.

"I'll do it." Ye Caitang didn't wait for Xia Yue to finish speaking, and said: "My lord, you are so kind, I am impressed by your kindness." Not to mention that there is money for food and shelter, even if there is no money, I will do it. If you can be on an errand at six doors, what else do you need to eat? ”

This sounds like nothing wrong, but there are problems everywhere, what the six doors have done is better than asking for food, and Xia Yue didn't know how to vomit for a while.

But he was very satisfied with Ye Caitang's knowledge, interest and reason, and instructed Liu Sha: "Liu Sha come back, you don't need to take the broken bowl, Miss Ye won't ask for food." ”

Ye Caitang has always adapted quickly, and it is her job to do it, although she is not too flustered when she is chasing ducks on the shelves, but she immediately thinks of another thing.

"My lord, I'm also a six-door pawn now, so can I go and see Lin Ling's corpse?"

"Of course." Xia Yue carefully put away the IOU and led the way in front: "But I told you before, I have already seen Lin Ling's corpse, and the way of death is the same as the woman found last night, she was strangled to death on the beam of the Octagonal Pavilion by silk, and the Octagonal Pavilion is the scene of the first crime, and the deceased has not been moved." You have seen this with your own eyes. ”

The two young people following Xia Yue, Liu Sha and Wang Tong, were very fresh and a little excited that they were about to welcome a female colleague.

Men and women match, work is not tiring, after all, the women in the six doors are really rare and rare creatures. And Ye Caitang is still a very beautiful girl, why don't you make them feel pity and cherish jade.
