Xia Yue turned to Ye Caitang and said, "It seems that Wang Xi is not replacing these jewels in a day or two."

Ye Caitang nodded repeatedly.

The shopkeeper was very cooperative. Not only did he find all the records, but because he was afraid that Xia Yue would take away the entire account book, he deliberately copied out everything related to Wang Xi.

Xia Yue couldn't find any fault even if he wanted to.

And judging from the records, all the items Wang Xi sold to the pawnshop were sold, so the shopkeeper was particularly cooperative. If they hadn't been sold yet, he would probably be a little sad.

Will Xia Yue confiscate these stolen goods? If so, wouldn't his money be gone? The loss is too great. Who knows what Wang Xi's situation is now and whether he can get it back.

After Xia Yue read it once, he smiled lightly.

The smiling pawnshop owner felt a chill in his heart.

"These things..." Xia Yue flicked the paper he had just copied on: "Are they all sold?"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

"I wonder who it was sold to?"

The shopkeeper said, "Well, I really don't know. We all have guests coming from north to south here. We know Wang Xi because he comes here often. If he comes here once in a while, he really doesn't know him."

That's right, I can't find anything wrong with it at the moment.

The door opened with great success. Xia Yue put the records away and took Ye Caitang out.

There was a man selling candied haws at the door. Xia Yue gave him a few coins and took a bunch of candied haws.

Ye Caitang felt a little resentful towards Xia Yue tonight. Before she could say it, adults like to eat sweet things, and if you eat too much, you may become a big fat piece of paper... Xia Yue stuffed the candied haws into her hand.

If you don't eat, you won't eat.

Ye Caitang asked Xia Yue vaguely while biting the candied haws.

"Sir, have you ever eaten various kinds of candied haws?"

Xia Yue was puzzled: "What kind of things?"

Candied haws, isn't it just a hawthorn inside with a ring of rock sugar wrapped around it? Although the rock sugar is sweet, it can't match the sweetness and sourness of the hawthorn. Thinking about it makes your mouth water even if you don't want to eat it.

Ye Caitang crunched and said: "It's just apples, bananas, oranges, pears wrapped in rock sugar..."

It sounds like they are just changing the soup without changing the medicine. Although Xia Yue has never seen it, he doesn't think anything about it.

Ye Caitang continued to crunch: "Moon cakes, rice dumplings, rice balls, fried dough sticks..."

There were quite a lot of tourists on the road, and someone happened to hear it and looked at Ye Caitang with a strange look.

Could it be that this is a specialty of some place? Are there those things wrapped in candied haws? What kind of devilish smell is that?

Xia Yue walked two steps faster and put a little distance between himself and Ye Caitang. He felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Xia Yue looking a little embarrassed, Ye Caitang laughed in his heart. He decided to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, wash his hands to make soup, and make some unique mooncakes for Xia Yue.

Xia Yue arrived at the second pawnshop as if he was running away. There were only two pawnshops in the entire Qingquan Town. There were only two large banks with strong capital and the ability to pay higher prices to receive goods.

Because this place is close to the capital, the imperial court's repressive influence is huge. The words "Six Gates" are full of majesty.

Xia Yue did not encounter any obstruction. Every shopkeeper knew everything he could say when he heard the words "Six Doors".

As for the last one we went to, Xia Yue's face was cold and swollen, and he took out a box of various jewelry with a sad face.

so much?

Xia Yue was a little surprised. Other houses only had three or five pieces, and the total number was for a long time. Most of them had been sold, but only one house still had one piece in hand.

And this silver shop brought out a box.

Xia Yue couldn't help but said: "If you collect these things and don't sell them, what are you going to do with them?"

The shopkeeper almost cried: "Sir Mingjian, I really didn't know this was stolen goods. This Wang Xi has been selling spices all year round, so he said that he often receives antique jewelry."

"I didn't sell it either." The shopkeeper became even more sad: "I haven't had time to sell it yet..."

One sentence made Xia Yue reach out and grab the shopkeeper's clothes: "What did you say? Did Wang Xi come here just now?"

"No, it wasn't just now, it was during the day." The shopkeeper said, "He came over in the afternoon and sold these to me at a low price. He said he was going on a long trip."

Xia Yue really wants to beat up this shopkeeper, so why did you delay me for a long time if you didn't tell me what I asked you for a long time?

Xia Yue's face sank, and the shopkeeper trembled.

"Do you know where he went?"

The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't know."

Seeing that Xia Yue's expression was a little scary, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "But I know where he is staying tonight."

Xia Yue wanted to beat him even more, and he was still breathing heavily when he spoke.

"Wang Xi didn't leave, is he still in Qingquan Town?" Ye Caitang quickly comforted Xia Yue and asked the boss: "Where does he live?"

"Just, right at Shuangxi Inn." The shopkeeper spoke faster and in one breath: "It's not that he doesn't want to leave today, but he will follow the caravan early tomorrow morning and said he wants to go far away to the Western Regions. The environment there is not good, and he is not good.

Walk."

Without saying a word, Xia Yue grabbed Ye Caitang and turned around and rushed out.

It's really far away, yet so close.

Shuangxi Inn is where they stay at night.

I never expected that the Wang Xi I was looking for would be right under my nose.

Xia Yue took two steps and then came back, dragging the shopkeeper of Yinlou away with him.

Although he and Ye Caitang have never met Wang Xi, they are in the light and Wang Xi is in the dark, so there is no guarantee that Wang Xi has seen them.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to follow him, feeling uneasy and discussing with Xia Yue.

"My lord, my lord."

"explain."

"These things were given to me by Wang Xi today. I really didn't know they were stolen goods. I gave him three thousand taels of silver. The money must still be with him. If I hand over the stolen goods, can the money be returned to me?"

"

Wang Xi probably never expected that Xia Yue and the others would arrive so quickly. He disposed of all the remaining inventory at a low price, took his wife and children with him, and planned to fly away. It was just a coincidence that he and Xia Yue lived together.

Those who cast themselves into a trap are not so accurate.

When they arrived at Shuangxi Inn, Xia Yue asked the shopkeeper to inquire, and he easily found out that there was a family of three in Room 5, Tianzi, on the second floor, a husband and wife with a child.

The shopkeeper said that they entered the room in the afternoon and never came out. Dinner was also brought into the room to eat.

After calculation, it turned out to be diagonally opposite Xia Yue and Ye Caitang's room.

Xia Yue really wanted to laugh, but he held it back. To be on the safe side, he asked the shopkeeper to knock on the door, and he and Ye Caitang followed behind.

A family of three was inside, and the door should have been locked from the inside, but when the shopkeeper knocked, he found that the door was unlocked.
