Xing Yun turned around and looked at Qin Yue. He really didn't know what this cousin was thinking. He came to the northwest with the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince followed his uncle closely every day, but he did nothing every day and slept until noon.
Qin Yue handed the teacup to Xing Yun.
Xing Yun took the teacup and said coldly: "The Northwest is not the place for you, go back as soon as possible!" He said no more and continued to observe the Xiuyun Cloth Shop below.
Looking at his cousin who had become aloof again, Qin Yue returned to the table and sat down indifferently, savoring the food carefully.
After about a cup of tea, the door of the wing room was knocked open, and a soldier in black handed a cotton coat to Xing Yun, "Young General, this is what you wanted!"
Xing Yun took the cotton-padded jacket and touched it carefully. He already knew what was going on. It seemed that Xiuyun Cloth Shop had indeed made fake cotton-padded jackets.
At this time, a soldier outside the door came in breathlessly and reported: "Young General, I learned from the county government that someone would tip off Xiuyun Cloth Shop."
Xing Yun nodded: "Go ahead and do it. Be sure to keep an eye on them and don't let them destroy the evidence! Then we can capture them in one fell swoop!"
After the black-clad soldiers left, Xing Yun returned to the window. The biting cold wind was howling from outside, but Xing Yun seemed to be nothing, staring at the cloth shop below.
The black-clad soldiers hid their bodies outside Xiuyun Cloth Shop until they saw their companions' gestures, and then they waited for an opportunity to act.
After seeing the squad leader enter Xiuyun Cloth Shop, the leading soldier jumped onto the roof to continue observing.
The foreman came close to the shopkeeper's ear with a panicked look and said a few words. The shopkeeper's face changed immediately after hearing what he said.
Without caring about the customers who were still choosing items in the store, he anxiously ushered them out: "Everyone, everyone, I'm sorry, something unexpected happened at home today, so I have to close early today. I will definitely open early tomorrow. Sorry, sorry!"
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the customers had to leave first.
After all the customers in the store left, the shopkeeper immediately ordered the waiter next to him to close the door quickly, open the wardrobe in a hurry, and prepare to transfer the stolen goods.
The shopkeeper sternly ordered the young man beside him, "Hurry up and move these cotton clothes away. If the county magistrate catches us, we'll definitely have a hard time!"
The black-clad soldier lying on the roof discovered that several people were trying to transfer the stolen goods, so he quickly made a gesture, and with a bang, the door of the cloth shop was kicked open.
A group of tall and burly men rushed into the cloth shop. The young man was so frightened by this sudden change that he stood there in a daze.
After all, the shopkeeper was a man who had experienced many hardships. He quickly calmed down and pointed at the newcomers with trembling voice: "Who are you? How dare you break into our shop in broad daylight!"
The squad leader, who was cowering in fear, saw that the situation was not right and was about to sneak away along the wall, but was caught by the black-clad soldiers standing at the door.
The squad leader twisted his body without caring about his image and struggled desperately: "Do you know who I am? How dare you touch me?"
The leading soldier was too lazy to listen to the squad leader's continued noise: "Too noisy, cover his mouth!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately found a piece of rag and covered the squad leader's mouth.
After tying up the few people, the soldiers searched the cloth shop and took away all the account books and cotton clothes mixed with reed fluff.
At this time, Xing Yun came down from Piaoxiang Tower, glanced at the three people who were tied up, and asked, "Is everything safe?"
The leading black-clad soldier reported back, "All the stolen goods have been seized, and we also found an account book!"
Qin Yue, who was walking behind Xing Yun, wanted to take the account book, but Xing Yun, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, snatched it away, flipped through it roughly, and closed the account book angrily. This adulterated cotton-padded jacket was actually sold for more than four hundred taels!
Qin Yue reached out and found nothing, and couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly.
Xing Yun handed the account book to his men and ordered, "Leave two of you to guard the shop, and the rest of you take the stolen goods and follow me to the county government office!"
The noises of kicking doors and arresting people here completely alarmed the pedestrians on the entire street. Everyone stretched their necks and looked curiously at what was happening inside Xiuyun Cloth Shop.
You know, Xiuyun Cloth Shop is the largest cloth shop in Rongcheng, controlling the four-season clothes for the people in the city. Now that someone is suddenly picking on them, the people are even more curious!
