The clerk was stunned. "Boss, don't you have some funeral matters to deal with at home? Isn't it too hasty to go out now?"
"Don't worry about that."
The clerk was sent out to get a carriage, which was soon hired, and then he saw the shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly leaving with the box.
The clerk couldn't help but glance at the box a few more times, muttering to himself, "What on earth is this treasure? Look at how nervous the shopkeeper is."
Two days later, a man suddenly jumped out from a narrow alley and stopped the waiter.
The guy looked at the newcomer, his face changed drastically, and he looked at him nervously, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't be afraid, we just come here to cooperate with you." The man said in a low voice.
The guy looked at him suspiciously, "What cooperation?"
"Has anyone come to your shop recently and handed anything to your boss?" asked the man in green.
The guy immediately thought of the middle-aged man who came with the little girl two days ago. However, he kept a wary eye on her. "Why are you asking these questions?"
"If there is such a suspicious person, you can sell the information to us. We will naturally give you a generous reward." The man in green said lightly, with a very casual tone.
After all, anyone who does this kind of needle-in-a-haystack thing will get tired if they do it too much.
He asked all the rouge shops under the Lei family and bribed many of the shop assistants so that they could receive the news immediately as soon as the woman appeared.
The man had an idea and asked tentatively, "How much can you pay me?"
The man in green heard this and his sharp eyes swept across his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had seen something. His lips curled up slightly, "It depends on whether your information is accurate. If the information you provided is accurate, the reward will definitely not disappoint you."
As he spoke, the man in blue gestured a number with his hand.
When the waiter saw a finger, he asked, "Ten taels of silver?"
The man in green shook his head and said softly, "One hundred taels."
The waiter gasped, his voice trembling with excitement, "Is it really true that there is a hundred taels of silver?"
Seeing him like this, the man in blue was certain that this guy must know something.
"Yes."
The man calmed down a bit and said, "I've seen someone in a similar situation to what you're describing."
"Tell me the details of the situation." The man in green had an idea. He never expected to find a clue in this remote place.
The clerk organized his words and said, "A few days ago, a middle-aged man came to our shop, specifically looking for the owner. But the owner wasn't there, so he went to his house. The owner returned soon after with a box and hurriedly left town that same day."
"Box?" The man in blue had an idea.
"Yes, a wooden box. Judging from the shopkeeper's expression, he treasures the box very much. It seems that there is something important inside, so he left without caring about the old lady's funeral and left at night."
The man in blue looked thoughtful, "The one coming is a middle-aged man. Are you sure he's a man and not a woman?"
The clerk said confidently, "It was indeed a middle-aged man. I remember him saying he seemed to be sent by someone to see the owner. Oh, and he also held a sign in his hand. I can't read, so I don't know what it means."
