Tavern white paper

The layout of the dilapidated tavern is similar to the inn he sees on weekdays, Chen Changye walked in, there was a sense of familiarity, this place is very similar to the teahouse opened by Uncle Liao in the small city, whether it is the layout or the table arrangement, it pays attention to the rules.

Chen Changye walked into the tavern with a curious Chang Pei and asked, "Chang Pei, look here, it doesn't look like the teahouse I took you to see when we were in the small city before?"

Chang Pei opened his mouth slightly, looked up and looked around, and said with a smile: "Yes, brother, it's quite similar here!"

Chen Changye smiled slightly, took Changpei and found a place to sit down, and beckoned Xiao Er. There are very few people in this store, only one person in charge is sleeping at the counter, and a junior next to him is also napping, and he was also startled when he heard someone coming.

"What's wrong?" Chen Changye looked at the little second gentlely, and asked, "Little Er, your business here is so cool, why are you still stunned when a guest comes here?"

Xiao Er rubbed his eyes, saw Chen Changye and Changpei, stretched his waist, and said, "This place is no longer open for business, and it will be sold here in seven days." ”

"Sell it?" Chen Changye wondered, how could this place be dilapidated, and the business was still so bad, it was obviously not a treasure of feng shui, why would anyone want to buy it? That person was afraid that he didn't have a business head, right? He asked, "Who wants to buy it?"

Xiao Er shook his head and said: "I'm just a little Er, I don't know these things, I will sell it to whoever wants it, and I sold this tavern cheaply, and then I will go back to my hometown to find my mother." ”

Hearing this, Chen Changye had a trace of pity in his heart, and sold it cheaply, so this tavern is not very cheap and can be bought? So Chen Changye thought about buying this place as soon as possible, so that Xiao Er could go home to see his mother and relatives earlier, and accumulate some good deeds for himself, not because this place is going to be sold cheaply, absolutely not!

So Chen Changye turned around and asked Changpei: "Eh, sister, what do you think of this store, if you can go back, I can borrow money to buy it?"

Chang Pei looked at the dilapidated tavern, quickly shook his head, a little disgusted, and said, "It's too dilapidated, no, no." Saying that, he sat over and hugged Chen Changye's arm, and he didn't know which tendon he had twitched, and said coquettishly: "Brother~ Don't, don't, it's not good." ”

Xiao Er next to him looked like this, raised his eyebrows, why is this woman so unfamiliar with the way she speaks, and she is so close to this brother in front of outsiders, what's going on?

Chen Changye was a little helpless, and turned around and asked, "Then Xiao Er, do you remember that a big official came to your tavern half a month ago?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er was stunned, he Zhengzheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it was raining lightly half a month ago, and I remember that no one has been here for a month." ”

"Really?" Chen Changye casually took out a copper plate from his money bag and gently threw it to Xiao Er, "Think about it again, maybe you will think of more?"

After the copper plate turned around on the small wooden table a few times, Xiao Er took it into his hand, he recalled for a while, and said: "Eh, it seems that there was a business half a month ago, and two guests came, both of whom were middle-aged men, and I couldn't see who they were with cloaks, so they ordered some fennel beans." ”

Chen Changye smiled secretly, sure enough, there is money that can make ghosts grind, and he then asked, "Then where are they sitting?"

Xiao Er thought for a few moments, saw another copper coin jumping over, hurriedly caught it, and said to Chen Changye with a smile on his face: "It's over there, the table by the window, they said they were listening to the rain." ”

Chen Changye looked in the direction of Xiao Er's finger, it was quite far away from the counter, it was the farthest table from the counter in the small shop, and sure enough, these people had ghosts in their hearts.

Thinking about Chen Changye, he took Chang Pei to sit over, and also looked for Xiao Er to order fennel beans next to him, looking out the window, there was no good view, but there were scattered small residential trees in the distance, listen to the rain?

Thinking that Chen Changye went out to look, there was nothing on the eaves. Looking back, Xiao Er had already come over with fennel beans, and he put down the plate and left. Chang Pei looked at Chen Changye, who must have understood what she meant, so he nodded.

Seeing that Chen Changye agreed, Chang Pei couldn't wait to pick up the fennel beans with his hands and eat them. I thought that I would find something by following their whereabouts that day, but I didn't expect that I still found nothing.

Thinking about it, Chen Changye was about to Erlang's legs to eat fennel beans, when he suddenly touched something under his feet, he looked down and found that there was a small and hidden square bulge under the table here.

Chen Changye immediately thought of it, he had listened to stories in the teahouse since he was a child, and he had heard a little about these strange things, but he didn't expect the legendary dark grid to run into him.

I heard others say that the tables in some special teahouses are specially made, and some tables will contain some special small boxes under them, which require keys or know how to punch in, and are often used by some thieves to hide stolen goods or temporarily place some evidence by the yamen.

Thinking about it, Chen Changye immediately leaned down to study the dark grid, which was square, no more than a finger high, storing paper or some small utensils. After further exploration, it was wooden, hard, with small grooves, and no keyholes, and it was obvious that the mechanism had to be activated before it could be opened.

Looking up, Chang Pei had already finished eating a plate of fennel beans, and was looking at himself innocently, Chen Changye motioned for Chang Pei to lower his head and look, and the two of them hid under the table and wondered how to open this cassette.

Suddenly, Chen Changye seemed to remember a trick that a strange woman wearing a veil in the teahouse had demonstrated with him before, and pressed it up and down, and along the familiar feeling in his memory, Chen Changye pressed his hand on the dark grid.

How do you do it? Chen Changye carefully recalled the method that the woman had given him, like this, is it like this? Try it, I guess...... Before Chen Changye could finish thinking about it, the dark grid opened with a click.

Chen Changye was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so easy, in the slightly oblique dark grid, Chen Changye took out a piece of thin paper, he hurriedly took it out, and then checked it again, there was indeed nothing else.

Let Chang Pei and himself look at the white paper, as soon as he unfolded the white paper, and saw the signature on it, Chen Changye knew that he had successfully caught the seven inches of the snake, and this grasp hit the nail on the head!

There were many words on the paper, and Chen Changye didn't know much. But he knew that the last Tang character signed on the paper was the Tang character he had seen on the plaque when he entered the Tang Mansion today!

"Yes, we have found evidence!" Chen Changye was secretly proud, the corners of his mouth rose wildly, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said to Chang Pei: "You still want to eat something, after eating, we will go back to find them!"

Changpei didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Chen Changye's happy appearance, he knew that something good had happened, and he was very happy and said, "I want another plate, fennel beans!"
