Ye Caitang looked at a few pieces of silver, a little happy, and a little sad.

It's certainly a good thing that the boss is so generous.

However, when there is more money, sometimes you can't help but want to buy something that you can buy or not, and you will use more.

Ten taels of silver were advanced in advance, that is, five months' wages, and now it is June, that is, until the New Year, there is no money to take.

I don't think I'm very happy.

Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang holding the money, his face was strange, and he was very happy and unhappy. After pondering for a while, my heart suddenly tightened.

She wouldn't be thinking about it, and immediately repay me five taels, and then the debt would become forty taels, right? If this is the case, won't the debt be paid off soon?

The two of them looked at each other thoughtfully, but neither spoke.

"Thank you, sir." Ye Caitang put the silver into his arms.

The evening in Qingquan Town is even more lively than the capital.

There is a curfew in the capital, and it is not a holiday, except for a few specific places, most of the area is pitch black, and no one enters or leaves.

Qingquan Town is not the capital, but the management is not so strict.

Ye Caitang ate and lay in the house for a while, listening to the downstairs seems to be quite lively, and he doesn't want to sleep, so he walks over and opens the window to look.

Outside is the most lively street in Qingquan Town, it is quite lively at this time, the shops on both sides are not closed, there are people coming and going, and there are stalls, carrying burdens and walking around.

The nightlife has just begun, and it is the first time that Ye Caitang feels the liveliness of the night in this era.

Counting the time, it's only half past eight at most.

Thinking that he couldn't sleep, Ye Caitang went to knock on Xia Yue's door.

Knock knock.

Xia Yue hadn't slept yet, because he came soon to open the door, and his clothes were neat, not just put on.

Ye Caitang asked knowingly: "My lord, are you asleep?" ”

Xia Yue opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Sleep." ”

“……”

Ye Caitang was defeated: "Okay, I see that it's very lively outside, and I'm not sleepy, can I go out for a walk by myself?" ”

Xia Yue didn't speak.

Ye Caitang added: "I don't go far, just walk around the street below, I think it's very lively, there will be no danger." ”

Around the capital, unless you run to the dark alleys, it is still safe. Occasionally, officials can even be seen patrolling.

Xia Yue opened the window and looked down, and just when Ye Caitang thought he was going to refuse, Xia Yue said: "Since you are not tired, and those shops are not closed now, let's start checking." ”

Ye Caitang was stunned.

She never expected that her boss could oppress and exploit to such an extent, even if she was on a business trip, it was now off-duty time.

But Xia Yue's words were difficult to chase, and seeing Ye Caitang's cracked expression, he didn't mean to change his mind at all.

"After all, this is not the capital, you are not familiar with it, and it is night, follow me and don't run around." Xia Yue turned around and went back to the room to get something: "Let's go." ”

What could Ye Caitang say, he could only follow.

It's all self-inflicted, and there is no overtime pay.

Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang who was following behind out of the corner of his eye, and was amused in his heart.

This girl, sometimes the city is very deep, thinking a few steps more than others, and she looks experienced, as if she is already seventy or eighty.

But sometimes, happiness and unhappiness are on the face, and there is no hiding at all. Even if it is a forced smile, the four words "strong smile" must be written on the face.

For example, Ye Caitang is not particularly happy now.

When Xia Yue lived in the inn, he had already inquired about several famous pawnshops and jewelry shops in Qingquan Town, and now he just needs to ask about the past.

He didn't have the patience to disguise himself and knock on the side.

Xia Yue took Ye Caitang into the first pawnshop in order, entered the door and knocked on the counter.

There is only one old account room in the pawnshop, and I don't know how to see it clearly in the dim light?

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xia Yue and Ye Caitang, and immediately burst into laughter.

These people have seen treasures for a lifetime, their eyes are poisonous, what is your identity, rich or not, powerful or powerful, you can see it at a glance.

It's very close to the capital, and the rich and officials have seen a lot, even if they don't wear official uniforms, some people's momentum doesn't look like ordinary people. Even if your eyes are poisonous, after a few glances, you can almost see that you are a civilian and military attaché, and your position is high or low.

"Childe, do you want to be a commodity?"

Xia Yue's face was expressionless: "Tell your shopkeeper to come out." ”

"Okay."

The old bookkeeper didn't say a word, turned around and went in to call the shopkeeper.

Ye Caitang couldn't help but look at Xia Yue differently, yes, you don't have to show your identity, just go to this station, and you can scare people by relying on it. No wonder you have a bad reputation for Six Doors, let's just say there's a reason.

Poor Xia Yue didn't know Ye Caitang's complaint in his heart, he even felt that he was quite majestic at this moment.

It was still early, and the shopkeeper didn't rest, and soon came out of the back room with a courteous smile on his face.

"Childe, are you looking for me?"

Xia Yue nodded indifferently and got straight to the point: "I am from the six doors of the capital to handle the case, and my surname is Xia." ”

The shopkeeper became more and more respectful, but hesitated a little and said, "Xia ...... My lord, you came to the shop, but what business trip did you have? ”

Xia Yue took out Xie Zhi's portrait of Wang Xi.

"Do you know this person?"

The shopkeeper looked at it, obviously hesitant.

"That's how you know." Xia Yue's eyes were also very keen: "This person's name is Wang Xi, he is a spice merchant in the capital, he was involved in a serial murder case, and now it is very dangerous, and the government is offering a reward for his arrest." If you have anything to do with him, you'd better tell the truth, lest it be bad to get involved. ”

Xia Yue's words made the shopkeeper's face turn pale with fright, and he waved his hand again and again.

"Adults don't talk nonsense, adults don't talk nonsense." The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I know Wang Xi, because he has come to the shop to do a few things. But that's all, nothing else, no more dealings. ”

Sure enough, I know.

Xia Yue was overjoyed, but his face was even colder: "Seriously." ”

The shopkeeper swore a poisonous oath, for fear that Xia Yue would not believe it.

Xia Yue said: "Let's talk carefully, how many times he has been here, what he has been, and how much it is." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly went into the counter and dug out the ledger in the cabinet.

"Every time he comes, he dies, and everything is very good, I have a record." The shopkeeper flipped and flipped over: "Yes, here, a month ago, he became an agate inlaid with gold wire pinched armband, worth eight hundred taels." ”

"Again, it was last year, last October, when seven pearls, worth 1,300 taels."

The shopkeeper's record is really complete, and it has been turned over to five years ago, ten years ago.

"That's all." The shopkeeper was scared and frightened, and said, "The account books were destroyed earlier, but I remember that when he first came to the pawnshop, I was quite young." ”
