It wasn't until everyone gradually stopped boasting that he asked, "What will the shopkeeper do with him?"

Steward Xu snorted heavily, and said hatefully: "If you don't die, you have to take off his two layers of skin!"

The chamber of commerce here is not all about trading on the white road, and has long set its own rules. Hu Wenqing not only stole public property, but also picked on the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce's anxiety at this juncture, which is called falling into the ground.

Yan Saburo had also heard a little bit of the past history of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce, and knew that it was not kind to thieves like Hu Wenqing.

His best fate is actually being taken into custody by the government.

Steward Xu patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder: "San Lang, you have made a meritorious service, and the boss will definitely reward you heavily." ”

Yan Saburo smiled, with a young man's longing and innocence on his face: "Really?"

Of course it's true.

Only an hour later, Steward Xu's prophecy came true:

Ma Hongyue brought him to the main building.

The two sides are very close, and there is no need for Yan Saburo to bring a cat. Before he walked out, Chitose told him: "Take it when you see it, don't ask for too much." ”

The boy waved his hand: "I'll save it." ”

The living room in the main building is spacious.

The third shopkeeper is also the third owner of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce, he poured a sip of strong tea before asking: "The hero is a young man, very good." If you do something, you have to be rewarded, what reward do you want?"

Ma Hongyue's face was full of fatigue, his eyes were blue and black, and his originally rich figure seemed to have lost a lot, obviously he was very sad these days. Two caravans were intercepted and killed, dozens of VIPs and their families died, and the pressure on the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce was needless to say.

And a large part of the pressure of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce has to be passed on to him.

Yan Saburo didn't answer this question immediately, but asked, "Can I ask, how many things did Hu Wenqing steal?"

"The property they stole was worth at least 30,000 taels of silver, and it was all packed in that Suhu wooden treasure chest. That treasure chest alone was worth five thousand taels. Ma Hongyue said disdainfully, "A group of mud-legged people mistakenly mistook the orb for a fish's eye." ”

Yan Saburo was stunned.

Hu Wenqing and others didn't know where to find this batch of goods, and when they saw that there were no outsiders around, they became suspicious. The Hengxi Chamber of Commerce has dominated Liu Pei for many years, and they usually have to work diligently, so how can they afford this kind of opportunity? Coincidentally, this time an unknown opponent robbed and killed people, and no one knew how many treasures they had robbed.

In other words, no one knows how much cargo was left at the site.

Those who arrive first like Hu Wenqing have a first-mover advantage. No matter how many things he stole from, as long as his hands and feet were clean, it would be difficult for the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce to track them down.

One of his big failures was to mislook at the Suhu Wood Treasure Chest.

The color of this box is gray and unadorned, and at first glance it looks like an ordinary wicker long wooden box, except for the slight coolness of the tentacles. Its biggest function is to store things without decay or moth, and it is the most suitable for storing precious surviving calligraphy and painting antiquities.

But how can these men who are walking horses see good?

The Lord of Linghu used it to hold rose snow salt, and he really had a lot of ideas, and by the way, he pitted Hu Wenqing hard. The unlucky man could not have guessed that this humble chest was much more expensive than snow salt!

At that time, they looted a batch of treasures, but could not find a low-key container to take away secretly, Hu Wenqing saw this box at a glance, so he filled the snow salt separately, brought it back to the Chamber of Commerce, and placed the stolen goods of his own people.

Who knows......

Of course, the most unlucky thing for him was to meet Yan Saburo, a more serious account room.

If he was in charge of another matter, he might have been fooled around, after all, there were too many lives and materials lost this time, and the Suhu wooden box was not particularly valuable among them. Hu Wenqing didn't pick too expensive ones to take away, after all, unique things are not easy to sell in the black market, and they are easy to be traced by the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce.

"Money. Yan Saburo didn't go around in circles, and thought about it after a little consideration in his heart, "and two supernatural magic recipes that are suitable for my cultivation." ”

The shopkeeper is still anxious about the interception and murder case, in contrast, the trouble caused by Hu Wenqing is the layer of "frost" that makes things worse, which is annoying, but it is not the focus of his attention.

In this case, he didn't want to spend too much thought on Yan Saburo. It's just that meritorious service must be rewarded is the foundation of the association, Yan Saburo has made meritorious service, and in front of so many people, it is necessary for the shopkeeper to complete this set of rewards and punishments.

Punish Hu Wenqing and reward Yan Saburo.

When the team is big, you must talk about the rules to lead.

This is also the reason why Fang Cai Chitose told Yan Saburo.

Ma Hongyue really smiled, and there was a sense of nonchalance on his face: "Okay." ”

"You caught the moth for me, saved the goods and saved face, and I can't treat you badly. He explained to the people around him, and the latter quickly brought in a brocade plate.

Yan Saburo turned his head to one side and saw two gold ingots lying on the red cloth.

"It's a reward, it's all red gold. Ma Hongyue nodded on the table, "In addition, your salary is mentioned as two taels per month, which is equivalent to Mr. Big Ledger." If you can check the accounts so carefully, I don't think anyone else will have an opinion. ”

Yan Saburo thanked him and put away the gold ingots.

The heavy feeling made him feel so down-to-earth.

With this money, he was able to hold on for a little longer. And that's not the point of the reward.

Ma Hongyue then said: "When I came from Cloud City, I knew that you kid was not simple, and he had the heart to cultivate supernatural powers. It's getting late, so let's do it, the secret vault will be sorted out in a few days, and I'll ask Lao Xu to take you to pick two secret books, and hang my account is - remember, you can't pick a lone book. ”

The value of the lone book is high, and most of it is from everyone's collection, and he can't afford to give it away.

Yan Saburo suddenly smiled, grinning a mouthful of white teeth.

Ma Hongyue saw him smiling brightly, and his heart was even more annoyed, and he couldn't help waving his hand, "Okay! ”

As for Hu Wenqing and the fate of his brothers, Yan Saburo didn't ask much.

What has nothing to do with him, he never cares.

......

After Yan Saburo left, another steward came to report: "The big boss has arrived." ”

The big boss is usually stationed elsewhere, but this time he is here specifically for the murder case.

Ma Hongyue hurriedly walked out to greet him.

Yang Hengxi and the shopkeeper walked into the room, kicked the door back, and then asked in a deep voice: "Has the murderer been found?"

"No evidence has been found. Ma Hongyue said quickly, "The people we sent to escort are all veterans, and it is impossible for the other party to be unharmed." These days, I have heard that there are people in and out of Tongyao Village, Runhe Village, Puyao Town, and other villages with injuries, and blood has seeped out of their clothes. ”

"It's not far from Gaotouling. Yang Hengxi narrowed his eyes, "You didn't let the official office investigate?"

"After checking, it was only said that the two villages had a conflict over water sources, and they formed gangs, and many people were involved in the nearby villages and township protection, and the fighting was bloody, and there were blood stains on the ground, which looked quite like that. “
