Chapter 8 The Secret of the Tea House

"After this time, Miss Ji owes me another favor."

Regarding what Ji Chuyan said, Shen Xiao raised his eyebrows, smiled noncommittally, and turned to another topic.

This time, whether Shen Xiao was pretending or doing it on purpose, he just wanted to clean up Zheng Yun, and the result would be good.

What Ji Chuyan said is absolutely correct, but this matter has been revealed. If Ji Chuyan still needs it in the future, he can just exchange it for something.

For example, between the two of them, Shen Xiao was very fond of Ji Chuyan's favor.

Ji Chu smiled and refused to answer Shen Xiao's request, and Shi Shiran left.

"This Shen Xiao is really interesting. No wonder my grandfather has such a favorable eye."

Walking to the back garden, Ji Chuyan murmured unconsciously.

It's just that Ji Chuyan didn't realize anything when he said this.

Not only was his grandfather interested in Shen Xiao, but Ji Chuyan himself had other thoughts about Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao, on the other hand, went out and left, preparing to continue to go out to find out the news.

Shen Xiao will not interfere with Ji Chuyan's handling of the Ji family's affairs, unless Ji Chuyan asks Shen Xiao for help.

Otherwise, it would be best for the two of them to be indifferent for the time being...

After leaving the manor, Shen Xiao changed into civilian clothes and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Half an hour later, Shen Xiao appeared at the largest teahouse in the county.

Shen Xiao walked to the corner of the room very familiarly and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.

According to Shen Xiao's experiments during this period, you can hear what people are talking about here without being too noticed.

It is close to the government office and is in the center of the county, so it is very lively.

For example, ordinary people chatted on the first floor, while some merchants, gentry, and government servants chatted on the second floor.

After integrating the information leaked in the chat, the entire county had no secrets in front of Shen Xiao.

"This guest is invited by our boss..."

The waiter specially served another pot of tea and lowered his voice to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao has been coming here recently and is familiar with this group of calculations, but not with his boss.

Shen Xiao was also a little surprised to be suddenly invited by his employer, but he did not refuse: "Lead the way."

Shen Xiao stood up and followed the waiter to the backyard.

A middle-aged man in a blue linen robe was making calculations with his back to Shen Xiao.

"Guest, this is our Yundong home."

The waiter gave an introduction and quickly returned to the front.

Seeing this, Shen Xiao walked around to the opposite side of the Yundong family: "Why did the Yundong family invite you?"

Without any politeness, Shen Xiao went straight to the point and asked the other party what they thought.

In Shen Xiao's memory, he had no contact with the Yundong family.

"It's just business. You want to know something about Qingshui County. I can just think of a way to solve your trouble."

"Master Shen, I think we can talk."

The Yundong family who was playing with the beads on the abacus raised his head, and he looked quite kind-hearted, looking very peaceful and harmless to humans and animals.

But this sentence suddenly reached Shen Xiao's heart.

Shen Xiao was here to inquire about the news. Ji Chuyan knew it, and some people from Zhao Guixia and Chu Wenbo's sect were following him from a distance.

But even these people don't know what Shen Xiao is doing during this time, let alone why Shen Xiao is in the teahouse every day.

However, this Yun Dong family had a pretty good guess about Shen Xiao's plan.

"Why, Mr. Shen even took a sip of tea with ulterior motives and a conspiracy to let his boss get the benefit of the doubt?"

Shen Xiao directly denied the Yundong family's inquiry. During this period, Shen Xiao probably already knew everything he wanted to know.

Shen Xiao knew how to deal with Zhao Guixia and get back his family property.

The Yun Dong family obviously didn't mean to discover Shen Xiao's goal when Shen Xiao first set foot here.

It must have been discovered in the past two days that the Yun Dong family knew about Shen Xiao's plan and wanted to get a share of it, so they found Shen Xiao.

"Where this is, it's just about making friends for mutual benefit."

The Yundong family waved their sleeves and seemed to really like Shen Xiao.

It's just that the Yun Dong family wanted to make friends with Shen Xiao, and the Yun Dong family considered whether they could win over Shen Xiao, which was indeed a bit sudden.

"The transaction is fine, but I probably already know everything I need to know. I don't want to spend money to buy information from Dong Yun's family, haha..."

Shen Xiao's fingers tapped on the table, giving the Yundong family a question, that is, why did the Yundong family trade with Shen Xiao?

Even though Shen Xiao didn't know why the Yundong family wanted to trade, Shen Xiao knew that the Yundong family was not simple.

Qingshui County travels from south to north. It may seem like a small place, but in fact it is extremely well-informed.

The inn of the Yundong family is an information agency, and Shen Xiao knows this. The Yundong family found Shen Xiao and explained everything clearly. Obviously, the Yundong family also knows Shen Xiao's goal.

Of course Shen Xiao is willing to cooperate with the Yundong family, but Shen Xiao wants to see what the Yundong family is capable of.

"This is my meeting gift. Take a look at it. If you want to leave after reading it, I will give you these things."

"At such an age, Mr. Shen is indeed a rare person who can think of such a method, but there are still many things that God knows and the earth knows. I know you don't know."

Yun Dongjia took out a few pieces of paper and an envelope from his sleeves, said with a smile, and sent them to Shen Xiao.

It doesn't matter if Shen Xiao tests the Yundong family. As long as Shen Xiao is willing to talk, the Yundong family has a way to keep Shen Xiao.

"This is the first time in so many years that someone has consistently rejected me..."

Yun Dongjia sighed in his heart.

In fact, I was very helpless this time. From waiting for Shen Xiao to ask for help at the beginning, to taking the initiative myself, the change was quite big.

Shen Xiao didn't know the existence of Yundong's family and didn't want anyone else to help him. This was quite normal.

But even though Shen Xiao knew the Yundong family, Shen Xiao still didn't think about it and relied directly on the Yundong family.

Then there is no other way except for the Yun Dong family to take the initiative.

And this kind of cooperation is very subtle. Shen Xiao becomes more and more cautious, and the Yun Dong family becomes more and more reluctant to cooperate.

Shen Xiao has recently recovered and has been able to hold back and keep the Yundong family willing to make a deal.

"This is?"

"It seems that the Yundong family has a lot of sincerity, and they have gone to trouble for me. However, I don't have much money recently. If I accept the land deed, I may not be able to pay back the money in the future."

Shen Xiao took a look and saw some scattered land deeds. Zhao Guixia asked people to secretly buy smaller shops, but the Yundong family secretly intercepted them.

And Shen Xiao also understood the meaning of the Yundong family's saying, "I know you don't know."

Many people are telling the truth in teahouses, but the real secrets cannot be completely exposed.

Just like Zhao Guixia is selling property, Shen Xiao is just getting a rough idea.

"This bitch is afraid that Chu Wenbo will know that she is in trouble, and she wants to run away directly, haha..."

Looking at the land deed, Shen Xiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he became even more angry.

Zhao Guixia took action privately and sold most of the shops at half price. A shop of 300 taels was sold for 150 taels.
