Chapter 270 That Mr. Quan
"So that's it." Hua Jingyao has gained knowledge. She often asked beggars for inquiries in her previous life. Although she also knew that beggars formed gangs and fought often, she thought that only remote places like Guangxi would be like this. Beggars in places like Beijing and Jiangnan were really like what was written in the script, including the Beggars, the Gang leader, and the Dog Beater.
"Hey, you can read the script too." Hua Jingyao said in surprise.
Chen Xiao did not answer, so he would not let people know that he sent people from the Duke's mansion to secretly come to this bookstore to buy dozens of story books.
Yes, this bookstore has not had any business since it opened. Most of the only business is earning his money.
So, what happened to him eating a few more fried dough sticks and drinking a few more bowls of soy milk?
He saw all the little eyes of those guys.
"In other words, the people from the Five Ghost Sect have offended those beggars. Even if we don't look for them, the beggars will find those two people?" Miss Hua was a little excited.
Chen Xiao's face was as cold as usual: "Well, those beggars have just selected a new leader, and the new official takes office for three fires. The first thing they have to do is to find these two people to avenge the dead gang members and then establish prestige with this. So unless the two people hide in the house and don't come out, as long as they show up outside, they will likely be discovered by the beggars."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao added: "I'm hanging dark red."
"What? Anhong, did you offer a reward? How much?" Hua Jingyao certainly heard of Anhong, but she had never seen the person who was Xuannanhong with her own eyes. It is said that they are all stupid people who have a lot of money.
That's right? Mr. Chen is stupid and has a lot of money. Otherwise, how could he buy Liu's house?
"Catching living people, each person is 1,000 taels, finding the corpse, each person is 500 taels, and providing clues of 200 taels." Mr. Chen Si said lightly.
Miss Hua was solemn and respectful. Are you rich? He is really rich.
Just reward the silver? The beggars from the entire Shuntian Mansion can participate.
She suddenly realized that compared to Mr. Chen, the results were too low.
The two of them had a division of labor? Mr. Chen went to find the seven people, and she was investigating Wu Xin's affairs.
But? She had already thrown out the bait and was waiting for the fish to take the bait.
"By the way? What happened to those two antique shops? Have you asked Xiang Bo?" Hua Jingyao asked.
Chen Xiao said, "There is no problem with the accountant. His name is Wang Lin. He is born in our family. He has been very smart since he was a child? So he was picked out to read and read. His parents and brothers are both working in the village. His wife used to be a maid for my mother. His two sons are not seeds of study. The mansion has not been cultivated separately. Now they are working in the shop."
Hua Jingyao felt a little moved? The Shen family selected children from the servants to cultivate them. If there were any outstanding students among them? Will the Shen family still release the family to the servants and let the child take the imperial examination?
Once you are in high school in the future, you will become an official in the court...
I don’t know if there are any servants from the Shen family in the court now.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao couldn't help asking.
Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "It's okay? I just feel a little regretful. It seems that the tent house is obviously not the person we are looking for."
"Well, there is only one person in those two antique shops that is not our family servant." Chen Xiao said.
Hua Jingyao brows slightly and said hurriedly: "Is there really someone? Who is it?"
Chen Xiao still had the same tone of slowness. He said, "It's Mr. Quan, he is the Mr. Zhang. The shopkeepers of these two antique shops are both our family's children. Although they are not new to the antique party, they are not experts. Therefore, since the day the two shops opened, they have invited Mr. Zhang. The original gentleman's surname is Wang, and he is my father's friend for ages. He is an expert. A few years ago, Mr. Wang passed away, and the shop invited the old man's son to come. The business in the shop was light, and Mr. Wang often sat there for a few days without any need to take a look. So later Mr. Wang stopped coming to the house and went to his house to invite him if he had something to do. After a while, Mr. Wang refused to come. Just three years ago, Mr. Wang recommended this Mr. Quan to me. Mr. Quan was ugly and did not want to see anyone. Therefore, he usually sat in the inner room. Unless he wanted to take a look, the people who came to visit the shop would not see him."
Hua Jingyao became more and more frightened as she heard it. She asked, "Did this Mr. Quan come three years ago? Isn't your family not unaware of his identity, right?"
As soon as he said that, Hua Jingyao was shocked. Three years ago, Duke Chen Lingze of Yongguo seemed to have passed away three years ago.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao said: "At that time, my father had an accident and his family was holding a funeral. Mr. Quan came at that time. However, my elder brother knew about this afterwards, but this matter was just a trivial matter for our family. When the elder brother heard that Mr. Quan was recommended by Mr. Wang, he happily agreed."
Indeed, the entire East Street of Yamen belongs to the Shen family. Because of the poor location, these two shops cannot be rented out for many years. The Shen family does not want to waste it, so they opened their own shop. It is conceivable that these two shops are not profitable at all, and a Mr. Palmologist who sits in the hall will never have the chance to step into the Yongguo Duke's Mansion unless Chen Yuan wants to see him. Therefore, for the Yongguo Duke's Mansion, this is just a trivial little person.
Hua Jingyao understood that it was not only the Duke of Yongguo, but also the Princess's Mansion.
Her princess lady probably didn't know where her shop was opened, let alone the people hired in the shop. This was not something that people with their status would understand.
They just need to look at the account book.
"Mr. Quan's appearance is ugly? How ugly is it? How ugly?" Hua Jingyao said, unfolding the portrait she carried with her.
Qiao Wenlian in the portrait has a pretty face and a bit of bookish look. Although she is not a handsome man, she has nothing to do with ugliness.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Xiang Bo has never seen him. He only heard Wang Lin say that Wang Lin comes to the mansion every month to reconcile. Xiang Bo has heard him talk about Mr. Quan, but he just said that Mr. Quan is very proficient in antiques and his ranks. He has been in the shop for three years and has never been beaten."
Palm and piercing are both javascripts. Palm and piercing are used to identify the authenticity and value of antiques, while piercing is the opposite, which means that you have not identified the correctness and mistakenly collected the fake.
"Then are we going to meet that Mr. Quan now?" Hua Jingyao asked.
"Didn't you say you would alert the enemy?" Chen Xiao didn't forget what Miss Hua said yesterday.
He has a sick head, but his memory is quite good.
It's not right. He forgot all the things he did when he was a little lee.
Hua Jingyao muttered in her heart and curled the corner of her mouth unwillingly.
Chen Xiao saw it and thought to himself that he was wrong? Miss Hua is not happy?
