"Do you remember the mandatory mission from the other day?"

Meng Li glanced at Wang Ergou and continued to sort out the silver tickets.

These tickets can be a guarantee for the development and growth of the martial arts hall in the future, and they need to be properly kept.

Speaking of silver, we must mention the Meng family noodle restaurant here.

Now, the noodle restaurant's reputation has been spread, and the noodle restaurant's business has also stabilized.

On average, 500 bowls of noodles can be sold every day.

Five hundred bowls of noodles, the net income is about four hundred and fifty taels. Such a speed of income is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily income.

But now, the silver is taken care of by Bu Yu. Even if Meng Li uses it, he needs to report it in advance and obtain consent.

Previously, in order to buy Zhang Heng's information, Meng Li spent hundreds of taels privately in the Treasure Seeking Pavilion, and when Miss Bu learned about it, she was furious and took closer care of the silver.

In the matter of funding the Kaolan Mountains before, although Meng Li promised it, if he really wanted to take out the silver, he had to pass the Bu Yu pass.

"Mandatory task?" Wang Ergou didn't understand what Meng Li was talking about, even if it was an excellent evaluation, the reward for completing the task could not be so much.

Moreover, the time for that mandatory mission has not yet arrived!

Wang Ergou suddenly realized something and looked at Meng Li in amazement

"You're not going to really destroy the Cowland Mountains, are you?"

Meng Li nodded and said: "For this mandatory task, I am determined to win the Kaolan Mountains, before I first entered the mountain, I went to Jianjing Mansion and took all the tasks related to the Kaolan Mountains, these are the rewards after the completion of the task." ”

"Exterminate all the bandits in the Kaolan Mountains, Boss Meng Li, how did you do it?"

Liu Fengliu was dumbfounded when he heard this, the Kaolan bandits have existed in Jieshui City for nearly ten years, and the residents living in the city have long been used to it, why is there no more now?

It's like a dream!

Meng Li sighed heavily: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Zhang Heng, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to connect to the Kaolan Mountain Range." ”

"By the way, why didn't you see Zhang Heng come back with you?"

Since Meng Li came back from outside, Wang Ergou felt that something was missing, and at this time, after Meng Li's reminder, he immediately reacted.

"Zhang Heng is dead!"

Meng Li smiled bitterly, and then in the shocked eyes of Wang Ergou and others, he told Zhang Heng, Su A and Wu Gen about being assassinated.

After listening to everything that happened to Meng Li on the main peak of Kaolan. Liu Fengliu was dumbfounded.

"In other words, if it weren't for that mysterious person, you would have been the master of the Kaulan Mountains by now!"

In Liu Fengliu's opinion, the forces that control the Kaolan Mountains are much more useful than the silver tickets they earn.

Looking at Liu Fengliu's expression of losing money, Meng Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't seem to hear the point." ”

Wang Ergou said: "The mysterious man killed Zhang Heng and the others, obviously to extinguish the mouth, which shows that there is indeed a larger force behind the Kaolan Mountain Range, and it is very likely that this force is already paying attention to us." ”

Meng Li said with a solemn expression: "I have a gut feeling that the person who killed Zhang Heng is very likely to be by our side. ”

Liu Fengliu gasped, and his back was soaked.

"Boss Meng, don't scare me!"

Wang Ergou frowned and said, "Did you find any clues at the scene?"

Meng Li took out the green snake dart and the purple cloth strip.

"That's all I found. ”

"Poor means. Wang Ergou's eyes fell on the green snake dart, revealing a sneer, and then said firmly: "The murderer must not be the snake son." ”

Meng Li was a little surprised, he had doubts about this, but he couldn't be so sure.

What surprised Meng Li even more was that Liu Fengliu was also very determined: "It's really not him!"

Seeing Meng Li's puzzled eyes, Wang Ergou laughed and said, "On the day you left, Brother Merry and I happened to meet the snake boy, calculate the time, it was when they had an accident." ”

"I see. Meng Li suddenly realized. They were so sure that they had seen the deity.

"Hey, strange!" At this moment, Liu Fengliu seemed to notice something, and sighed lightly.

Meng Li looked at it when he heard it, and saw Liu Fengliu in a daze at the cloth.

"Is there anything wrong with this cloth?" Meng jumped and handed over the rag.

Liu Dashao took the rag and looked at it carefully, and soon had an answer.

"This is the purple spinning of Shanxiu Zhai!"

Wang Ergou took the rag and looked at it: "Is there anything wrong with this kind of spinning cloth?"

"There's a problem, and it's a big problem. Liu Dashao said excitedly: "This kind of spinning cloth is special, and the requirements for textile skills are extremely high, and only Shanxiu Zhai can weave it in the entire Jieshui City, as far as I know, the amount of cloth is less than ten horses!"

Meng Li and Wang Ergou looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.

As long as they contact Zen Xiu Zhai, they may be able to lock down the murderer.

Next, Meng Li asked Liu Fengliu for the address of Shanxiuzhai, and learned that Shanxiuzhai was in Bei'anfang.

Bei'an Fang is all-encompassing, and it's no surprise that there is a well-known show.

Without further ado, Meng Li immediately went to Shanxiu Zhai.

There are a total of four streets in Bei'anfang, which are vertical and horizontal with the word "well", and Meng Li's mansion is in the center of the tic-tac-toe, facing two streets before and after.

Shanxiuzhai is on the street to the north, and it is the horizontal above the tic-tac-toe.

Red embroidered ayara, colorful.

Approaching Shanxiuzhai, the eyes are attracted by the bright colors of the cloth, and the flowers are full of flowers.

There is only one person in Shanxiuzhai, a woman surnamed Fan, and people call it Fan Xiaoniang.

When Meng Li walked into Shanxiu Zhai, he had already seen this Fan Xiaoniang, but what made him strange was that the other party actually gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Twenty-eight years old, round face and long hair, some baby fat, cherry mouth, a little playful, a pair of big eyes, add a bit of agility.

"Does Childe want to buy cloth?"

Seeing the guests coming to the door, Fan Xianlin walked out of the counter, she was wearing a purple dress with a fluttering skirt, and she had a fresh and refined temperament.

When Meng Li saw the purple clothes, his expression froze, and when he realized that this fabric was not purple spinning, he relaxed again

Meng Li looked at the girl in front of him and wondered, "The girl is Fan Xiaoniang?"

Fan Xianlin smiled and said: "The little girl Fan Xianlin is what everyone calls Fan Xiaoniang." ”

Hearing the other party's admission, Meng Li was a little surprised, the embroidery girl who was recognized as the best embroidery in the city turned out to be just a twenty-eight-year-old girl.

Sure enough, no one should be disgraced.

Meng Li was in awe, and suddenly remembered the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Miss Fan, have we met somewhere?"

Fan Xianlin sneered and said, "Childe said he was laughing." ”

Haven't seen it?

Meng Li frowned slightly, looked around, and when his gaze swept over a wall, his body suddenly shook.

"This is ......"

On that wall, there hangs a portrait with a corner yellowed by smoke.

Meng Li looked at the portrait, and then at the woman depicted in the portrait, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What is the relationship between you and Xue Baiqi?"

That's right, this portrait is the one that Xue Baiqi tried his best to keep in the rain pavilion. And the woman in this portrait is Fan Xiaoniang in front of her.

No wonder it looks familiar!

At the beginning, Meng Like also made a lot of efforts to keep this portrait due to fate.

Fan Xianlin said vigilantly: "Do you know Brother Xue?"

Meng Li pointed to the portrait and said with a smile: "I helped him save this painting." ”

Fan Xianlin's beautiful eyes flashed, and he exclaimed: "You are the Meng Daxia that Brother Xue said?"

"I can't talk about it. Meng Li waved his hand.

He was just a gesture at the beginning.

"Meng Gongzi, you wait. ”

Fan Xianlin left a sentence, and then ran out the door.

Meng Li looked at her in a hurry, and couldn't help but be curious, and after a while, when Fan Xianlin came in again, there was already a man in a white shirt dressed as a scholar behind him.

"Sister Fan, what are you pulling me here for, my picture of the jackdaw and the green tree is halfway through the painting, and the inspiration I finally got is all gone. ”

The man in the white shirt is polite and polite, and the snow-white robe is smeared with a few heavy oil paints, who is it not Xue Baiqi?

Xue Baiqi was pulled into Shanxiu Zhai by Fan Xianlin, his face was full of helplessness, but when he saw Meng Li, his expression suddenly froze.

"Meng, Brother Meng!" Xue Baiqi's expression was shocked. "Why are you here, are you here for me?"

"Where are you from?" Meng Li was also surprised when he suddenly saw Xue Baiqi.

"My Qi Bai Painting House is right next door. ”

Fan Xianlin smiled and said, "You two talk first, and I'll make tea for you." ”

"Brother Meng, please take a seat!"

Xue Baiqi pulled Meng Li's sleeve and enthusiastically pulled him to the seat.

"Brother Meng, I miss you very much these days!"

Meng Li said with a smile: "I wanted to come over to visit earlier, but something has been delayed recently." ”

Xue Baiqi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "That's good, I thought Brother Meng had forgotten me?"

"Brother Xue has encountered any difficulties?" Xue Baiqi's appearance made Meng Li feel a little strange.

At this time, Fan Xianlin brought the brewed tea over and said with a smile: "Meng Gongzi, don't get me wrong, what Brother Xue is most afraid of is owing favors, if you don't let him repay the favor, he won't even sleep well." ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly, and once again emphasized that it was a gesture of effort, so that they didn't have to worry about it.

Fan Xianlin remembered the scene when Meng Li first entered the store, and asked, "Meng Gongzi, did you come to me to buy cloth?"

She had already made up her mind that if the other party came to buy cloth, she would give her some good cloth as a token of her kindness.

Unexpectedly, Meng Li shook his head and said, "I'm here for another thing." ”

Xue Baiqi's expression was instantly serious, and he asked, "What does Brother Meng command?" ”

This is in a hurry to repay the favor? Sure enough, he is a man who owes unfavors.

Meng Li smiled, his expression was solemn, and he took out the strip of cloth that had been prepared long ago.

"Miss Fan, please look!"

"This is my purple spinning from Shanxiuzhai. Fan Xianlin's eyes flashed, and before he could reach out to pick it up, he could already see the origin of the fabric.

Violet spinning is Shanxiuzhai's unique spinning fabric, each of which is woven by Fan Xianlin with a needle and thread, which takes a lot of effort, just like her child, every inch and every foot, she is extremely familiar.

Call!

"I want to find out who owns this cloth. ”

Meng Li exhaled heavily, and then clarified his intentions, since he had Xue Baiqi's relationship, he had no need to worry.
