Chapter 84 Surprising Discovery
Mr. Feng Sanye has a fierce appearance, a scar at the corner of his eye, and behaves rudely.
Every time people meet him, they want to stay away from him.
The shopkeeper didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering the other party.
"How much has the income dropped in the past half month?"
Mr. Feng's gloomy eyes shot over, causing the shopkeeper to shudder. He said conservatively, "Reply...Reporting to Mr. Feng, this month's inventory is three thousand taels less than last month. Yesterday...no one came to purchase goods..."
"Oh! What a Ming family!" Third Master Feng cursed angrily, "Go check again. I don't believe that such a large amount of goods can be sold without a trace."
"Yes!" The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and was about to leave.
He yelled again, "Wait."
The shopkeeper's body stiffened: ...
Then he immediately turned around and said flatteringly, "Third Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Send a letter to Mr. Qin, and ask him to meet you at Huixianglou tonight."
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, but he still agreed.
Only after he walked out of the room did he dare to straighten his back. The thought of having to contact the ruthless boss again made him even more uneasy.
That night, all of Qin Da's subordinates received a piece of news.
Strictly investigate all those who have been buying and selling grain recently, especially grain merchants with the surname Ming. Once discovered, report them immediately and you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!
…
Zhu Mingqing and others who had just entered the city gate of Zhending Prefecture were surprised to see the bustling streets of the city.
Street vendors were greeting customers, and restaurants and shops were open to welcome guests.
It looked unaffected by the heavy rain.
However, this also led to the spread of the situation in Zhending Prefecture, and many refugees rushed here in large numbers.
And those who had been following Zhu Mingqing had already gone to find ways out in the city.
"Madam, I'm going to go find out about the rice shop here first." Wen Baolu brought little Baozhong with him this time: "But I might be back late. I want to take Baozhong to see my uncle first."
He had a relaxed smile on his face. After walking for nearly a month, he was finally able to see his family.
Wen Baozhong also chuckled. Although he didn't recognize his uncle, he knew that his brother took him away from Yuzhou just to find his uncle's family.
And they will live here in the future.
Looking at the lively scene around him, Xiao Baozhong also felt excited.
Zhu Mingqing shook his head and took out a silver bag. "Keep the rewards for these days. Life is good here in Zhending Prefecture. You don't need to go looking for information. This place is not within my consideration."
Wen Baolu looked around and to be honest, he didn't expect that Zhending Prefecture would be even more lively than it was three years ago.
He took the purse and said sincerely, "Then Baolu wishes Madam a safe journey and we will meet again in the future."
Wen Baozhong said reluctantly: "Sister, Baozhong will miss you."
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing showed a bright smile. She touched the other's chubby face that had recently grown up: "Okay, I will miss Baozhong too."
Alas, it’s a pity that such a talented person like Wen Baolu was wasted.
She finally tried, "If one day you regret it, you are welcome to come to Guancheng to find me at any time."
Wen Baolu was stunned.
I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhu was still thinking about this matter.
Although he never thought he would go into business in the future, he still did not refuse: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. Baolu will remember it in my heart. If you need me in the future, Baolu will do my best."
Zhu Mingqing stood there until the other person walked away with the child in his arms, sighing unwillingly.
No, we can't let him get away like this.
One day, I will tie him up and bring him back.
Seeing how reluctant she was, Luo Xiao hummed twice and muttered something.
“What others can do, I can do too.”
Zhu Mingqing's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head to glance at him.
Luo Xiao immediately straightened up, straightened his clothes and hair, and looked like a carefree young man, confident and reliable.
Zhu Mingqing pursed his lips and smiled. Are you unwilling to admit defeat?
But she still said, "Stay still and don't cause any trouble!"
If this wasn't Zhending Prefecture, she wouldn't care about him and let him do whatever he likes.
But now they are staying in the territory of the Liang and Feng families, so it is better for them to stay quiet.
Luo Xiao pouted: "Got it!"
Isn't it just that you don't believe him?
Just wait, he will definitely prove it to her.
…
An hour later, Luo Xiao resisted the urge to sleep and climbed out of bed, quietly slipped out of the inn, and then inquired about the location of Willow Hutong.
Liushu Hutong is the address of Wen Baolu's uncle's home left behind.
Luo Xiao was thinking that he didn't know when they would meet again in the future. Since his mother trusted him so much and the other person was quite capable, she would probably not be reluctant to teach him a few tricks.
Following the instructions of passers-by, Luo Xiao gradually walked out of the main street. After turning several corners, he finally arrived at a quiet alley.
This alley is quite spacious, but it is so crowded with all kinds of debris that it is impossible to step foot.
There was also a foul smell of garbage coming from not far away, which made people want to vomit.
Luo Xiao covered his mouth and nose and walked inside.
There are only two families here. He looked back and forth, but couldn't figure out which one was his uncle's.
Luo Xiao suppressed his nausea and didn't dare to breathe hard. He was just thinking of knocking on the door when a familiar voice suddenly came from the innermost part.
"Aunt, I'll go. You can just rest at home."
"No, you've come all this way to seek refuge with me and your uncle. Go back to your room and rest. I'll go get some groceries and be back soon."
There was a sound of a door being pushed open. For some unknown reason, Luo Xiao suddenly squatted next to the garbage dump, so that Wen Baolu, who was seeing his aunt off, did not see him.
"Don't follow me!" Aunt He turned around and warned sternly, "Go to bed with Baozhong immediately."
Being cared for so earnestly, not only did Wen Baolu feel warm in his heart, but even Luo Xiao, who was squatting, felt a pang of sadness.
Look at them, they are loved by elders wherever they go.
A foul smell suddenly hit him, and Luo Xiao slapped his head hard, thinking he was really stupid.
Didn’t you come here just to seek advice? Why are you hiding now?
Just as he was about to get up, he heard the door opening next door.
At the same time, a sweet voice was heard: "Dead ghost~"
Luo Xiao's pupils widened: ...
No way.
He turned his head and looked carefully, only to see the woman whom Wen Baolu called aunt entering the door of another house.
"cough……"
Luo Xiao almost choked on his own saliva.
Oh my god!
He really didn't mean to see that.
But this woman is too bold. She dares to cheat on her husband right under his nose.
And Brother Wen and Baozhong must have been deceived by her!
Luo Xiao snorted coldly, quietly stood up, and listened to the noise at the door of the house. It was very quiet inside.
Then he pushed the door again, but it was blocked.
He took a few steps back, took a deep breath, took a running start, and whooshed over the wall, landing safely.
"There seems to be a sound outside."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's rough voice was heard in the room.
