Chapter 60 Ledger(1/2)
"It's okay, I'll trade here tomorrow night. I'll pay the money and deliver the goods in the other." The masked man nodded slightly, agreeing with the deal.
Cui Fu first gave the masked man in black, which was a deposit.
This masked man is a very famous Bissier in the capital. He has his own unique intelligence network, and many people will come to him for business and transactions.
It is said that the masked man has people from the palace as his backer, so he can always do this job in the capital.
Moreover, his news was basically correct and there were no mistakes. However, the people who asked him about the news were all things that some ordinary people in the capital were qualified to know, such as the secrets in the palace and the storm of the court, no one Dare to inquire.
An official had also gone to the masked man to inquire about it before, but he did get the news he wanted, but within a few days, the man died strangely.
Since then, no one dared to ask him about the affairs in the court and the palace.
Cui Fu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and left the alley, followed the crowd and returned to the restaurant. He treated him as if nothing had happened, and continued to be busy with the affairs in the restaurant as if nothing had happened.
But I was very worried.
Cui Fu was doubting Chen Wangchi's identity in his heart.
He always felt that what came today was not Chen Wangchi, and he felt that Chen Wangchi's temperament was not like him.
Cui Fu checked the restaurant up and down, and then asked the servants to go home.
Finally, Cui Fu was left alone and left in the restaurant.
Cui Fu's eyes were dull and his emotions were hidden in his heart. He was not like a servant working for others in a restaurant, but rather like a down-and-out nobleman.
The next day, Chen Xinyue arrived as promised.
She still dressed as a man, dressed up as Chen Wangchi. Except for her height being a little shorter than Chen Wangchi, the rest looked exactly the same.
Chen Xinyue came to the shopkeeper Cui Fu, "It's done well. Today, the restaurant has improved a lot, and there are many guests coming to eat."
Chen Xinyue was not stingy with compliments to Cui Fu.
The restaurant is getting better, which is visible to the naked eye.
Cui Fu smiled indifferently: "It's all well taught by the young master."
"I'll leave the restaurant business to you today. I hope you don't let me down." Chen Xinyue patrolled the restaurant for a while.
Then, Chen Xinyue left the restaurant and returned to the royal palace.
In the Regent's Mansion, Chen Wangchi wanted to go to the yard to bask in the sun with the help of his servants.
"Brother, why did you come out? Do you feel your legs?" Chen Xinyue hurried forward.
When the servant saw Chen Xinyue coming, he saluted and retreated aside.
Chen Wangchi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yue'er, the weather is just right today, so I thought about coming out to bask in the sun so that I won't be locked in the house every day, which is too boring."
"I didn't think about it. Brother, I will cure your legs as soon as possible, so that my brother can be free at any time." Chen Xinyue secretly blamed herself in her heart.
She has neglected the past two days and is only concerned about helping Chen Wangchi stay in the restaurant, but she forgot Chen Wangchi's inner feelings.
"Yue'er, brother is fine, just go and do your own business with peace of mind." Chen Wangchi didn't care. In his heart, as long as Chen Xinyue and Song Ruyu were safe and happy, He was satisfied.
Chen Xinyue went forward and checked Chen Wangchi's legs for him, and breathed a little relieved.
Chen Wangchi has a good mentality recently and has taken medicine on time, so his leg injury has not worsened, but instead tends to improve.
It just needs a long and uninterrupted treatment to be completely cured.
"Yue'er, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Chen Wangchi helped Chen Xinyue check her legs and didn't speak for a long time, feeling a little distressed.
If he hadn't been too useless, how could he have made his sister worry so much?
Chen Xinyue smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, your legs can be cured. It's much better now than in the past few days. I believe that it won't take long before my brother can stand up."
Chen Wangchi nodded: "It will definitely be,
I believe in Yue'er."
The two of them were walking in the sun for a long time, saying that they were walking, but in fact, Chen Xinyue was walking by. Chen Wangchi sat in the sun and looked at her, as if she was quiet in the years.
As the sun sets, the servants take Shen Wang back to the room.
Cui Fu, who was in the restaurant, left the restaurant after he finished recording the account and followed the bustling crowd to the depths of yesterday's alley.
Just like yesterday, Cui Fu waited for a while and the masked man in black appeared.
"I already have the news you want."
The masked man's husky voice was like the crow's cry.
Cui Fu took out the silver he had prepared from his sleeve, and this place was almost all his possessions.
"This is the remaining money." Cui Fu gritted his teeth and gave the money to the masked man.
The masked man weighed the weight and was indeed not missing him, so he told the news he had heard.
"The merchant who was robbed that day should be the eldest son of the Shen family, Chen Wangchi."
"What? Chen Wangchi? But in the rumors, wasn't the merchant falling off the cliff and his legs were disabled? But Chen Wangchi was not healthy and even came to the restaurant?" Cui Fu couldn't believe it.
Could it be that his guess is correct? This person is not Chen Wangchi?
But, if this group is not Chen Wangchi, who will it be? Are there really two people in the world who are exactly the same? The voices and appearances are exactly the same, and there may be some subtle differences in height. But if the two people are not standing together , How to distinguish it?
Cui Fu's doubts became deeper and deeper.
At this time, the masked man spoke in a hoarse voice again: "Don't forget who is the Regent Princess today?"
"Will someone who can become the Regent Princess be useless?
"But, will the Regent look exactly the same as Shen Wangchi?" Cui Fu was puzzled.
"Even if they look exactly the same, what about the sound? The voices of men and women are different after all."
The masked man sneered: "The world is so big, everything is strange. Some people can imitate other people's handwriting, and of course some people can be good at imitating other people's voices. But there are still too few such people, so we can't get in touch with them."
Cui Fu thought about it and felt that what the masked man said made sense, but the doubts in his heart still existed.
"The Regent was just a fool before. Could it be that she would do this when she came to the Regent's Mansion? The rumors in Jiangnan should not be fake, otherwise it would not be..." Cui Fu did not finish his words.
What he wanted to say was that otherwise she would not have been like this, and she had never been seen by others. If the Regent Princess was really so powerful, then her reputation must have surpassed that of the talented women in the capital.
"Don't think so simply." The masked man sneered.
Then, he took the money and turned around and hid in the night.
Cui Fu stayed where he was, thought for a while before he went back.
Cui Fu always thought that Chen Xinyue, the regent princess, was a fool, but she didn't expect that she had such a method.
Cui Fu left the alley and didn't walk much. On the way, he met a servant who had a good relationship with him before.
"Cui Fu, you haven't come home yet?"
The servant came over to say hello to him.
"Yes, I'm a little busy just now, where are you?" Cui Fu greeted him as usual.
"I'm just going to have some wine." The servant waved his hand, smiled, and then seemed to remember something, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "I've heard about the young master recently."
"What's the matter?" Cui Fu asked curiously.
"I heard that the young master had a gentle temper when he was in Jiangnan, and the young master had hardly done business. He only started learning recently. The young master used to be a scholar, but the young master I saw these two days didn't look like him at all. The young master was a little too much. It's fierce."
Cui Fu knew that Chen Wangchi was indeed a scholar and had always been gentle and polite. Chen Wangchi now is strong and calm, completely different from his previous personality.
Cui Fu has completely guessed the identity of Chen Wangchi who has appeared now.
However, Cui Fu valued the identity of the Regent Princess Chen Xinyue, so he did not intend to expose it, and even wanted to please the Regent Princess.
Once he has a good relationship with the Regent, some of the things he wants to do will go much smoother in the future.
The servant also wanted to inquire about Chen Wangchi with Cui Fu, because Cui Fu had more contact with Shen Wangchi, and he thought Cui Fu would know more.
Cui Fu shook his head, "Don't ask about the young master. We should be servants, just do our duty."
The servant wanted to ask, but Cui Fu did not talk to him much, but just told him to do things well with the young master.
Cui Fu tossed and turned in bed that night and never fell asleep.
It was only dawn the next day that he thought of a good way to show his loyalty.
Cui Fu brought the real account book in the restaurant to the inn where Chen Xinyue said before, she was staying.
Because she used Chen Wangchi's identity, Chen Wangchi did not live in the royal palace. He came from Jiangnan and could only stay in the inn.
Chen Xinyue had already made arrangements in the inn. If someone came to find her, she would ask the person to wait in the inn first, and then go to the palace to inform her, and she would come over.
As expected by Chen Xinyue, Cui Fu came to find him.
In the inn, Chen Xinyue looked at the account book and was a little confused. "Is this?"
"This is the real account book that Manager Cai had made before. He hid it, but I know where it was. The account book handed over by Manager Tai was after he made a fraud. Only this book really records the restaurant business. .” Cui Fu replied.
He was a little nervous and his palms were still sweating.
"Tell me, what else do you know?" Chen Xinyue simply flipped through the account book and believed what Cui Fu said.
This account book is indeed the real account book that Manager Cai made before.
