Chapter 143 Fear

Author: Willow leaves in winter

Xiaolian was in front and opened a box casually.

The square box was piled full of silver, and the flickering light blinded shopkeeper Hu and the boy.

Before the two of them could recover, Xiaolian opened another box.

As the boxes were opened one by one, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou's eyes became more shocked.

"Those -" Shopkeeper Hu breathed rapidly, and the outstretched legs seemed to be his own, "are there any silver in those boxes?"

Xin You nodded with a smile.

The old shopkeeper grabbed Xinyou's sleeve and said sadly: "Boss, we can't do anything illegal!"

With Dong’s ability to make money, it’s enough to be down-to-earth!

Xiaolian chuckled: "What did the shopkeeper say? That's their girl's money."

"The boss's money?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Xin You blankly.

Seeing that the old shopkeeper was frightened, Xin You said with a smile: "Well, the Kou family's wealth was brought to Shaoqing's Mansion when he came to Beijing. When he grew up, he asked his grandmother to get some of it back."

"Some..." Liu Zhou helped Dongba.

Is that a small silver mountain? The boss calls it something!

"The shopkeeper, Liu Zhou, would like to trouble the two of us to verify something."

Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou looked at each other wrongly and walked into the "Silver Mountain" in a daze.

"Girl, Shitou is here to say that Lord He is looking for you." Jiang Shuang came to report.

Xinyou wondered whether Mr. He must have received the reward, so she walked forward.

Although He Qingxiao's heart was greatly affected by the six thousand taels, he looked calm in front of Fu Fu. When Xin You came in, he saw the image of Fu Fu, a young man with a tall figure, silently lost in thought.

He Qingxiao turned around when he heard the footsteps. Because there was a stone, he asked: "Is it convenient for Miss Kou to shut up?"

Xin You took him into the reception room, poured tea and asked with a smile: "Master He has come back, what's the matter?"

He Qingxiao took out the small box and placed it in front of Xin You.

"He didn't expect that Miss Kou's reward would be six thousand taels. It's really unacceptable to accept that much money."

"Why can't you accept it? Didn't you agree to pay a hundred dollars to Master He?" Xin You tilted her head slightly, puzzled.

"Can you be one hundred and one——"

How could one hundred and one be equal to six thousand taels!

"Is Baiyi correct for six thousand taels? The money he got that time was 600,000." Xin You said calmly.

He Qingxiao: "..." So it's not that Miss Kou deliberately gave more, but she got 600,000 taels!

After taking a while to calm down, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with a somewhat complicated look: "Six thousand taels is indeed too much. Why don't he accompany Miss Kou everywhere? He deserves it. Please take it back, Miss Kou."

Xin You pushed the small box back: "In his opinion, six thousand taels is not much at all. He used Master He's reputation to scare Xiao Xiao, isn't it worth six thousand taels?"

He Qingxiao twitched the corner of his mouth as he listened.

He went to the two banks without revealing his identity. The person who knew whether he was the emissary of Jinlin Guard Town was Duan Shaoqing. Who did the "Xiao Xiao" in Miss Kou's mouth refer to? It was so obvious.

Miss Kou is very sincere and forthright when she uses "xiaoxiao" to refer to her uncle. You know, trapped by ethics and education, many people in the position of nephews and nephews do not dare to say a word of disapproval to their elders in front of outsiders, even if they have been greatly wronged.

.

Perhaps he knew from the time he was sensible whether he was born with invisible shackles. He Qingxiao appreciates free and easy people.

"Miss Kou——"

Seeing He Qingxiao's refusal, Xin You's face tightened: "Master He, could it be that I asked him to be a person who breaks his word?"

"Can you-"

"Does Mr. He think that his integrity is not worth six thousand taels?"

He Qingxiao was speechless.

Xin You stuffed the small box into his leg and said with a smile: "Master He, please feel that there is more than expected. Can you do one more thing for him?"

He Qingxiao stared at the small box for a moment and gave in.

If he refused to go east again, Miss Kou would become angry.

Miss Kou was angry with him for shamelessly accepting 6,000 taels in reward, so he chose the latter.

"Miss Kou, please tell me."

Xin You handed over the list she compiled after returning to the east courtyard of the bookstore: "The store where the list is located, I would like to ask Mr. He to check it for him to see if there is any problem."

Can she let them take back the things that Shaoqing's house vomited out? Duan Shaoqing has the final say whether those dozen shops are worth 150,000 taels or not.

The shops in Bu Nao are all over the place, and their business directions are also different. It would be too time-consuming for her to investigate slowly. Since Mr. He thinks that it is more than six thousand taels, it is just right to help her do something, so that Mr. He can feel at ease.

It also saved her a lot of trouble.

He Qingxiao took the list and glanced at it: "Those shops -"

"None of it is his."

He Qingxiao showed her buttocks while holding the list, and was speechless for a long time.

"Master He?"

"Oh, okay. When will Miss Kou ask for the truth?"

"Don't worry, it will be done before the year comes."

It’s not long before the Chinese New Year.

After He Qingxiao left, Xin Zhutuo went to the east courtyard.

Jiang Shuang was guarding the door. Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou were lost in the Yin Mountain. Xiao Lian was helping them, and Grandma Fang——

Xin You saw Grandma Fang wiping her tears.

"Why is nanny crying?" she walked over and asked.

Aunt Fang wiped her eyes with an excited expression: "Are you happy, old slave? I'm happy..."

She was driven away by the Shaoqing Mansion to Zhuangzi, and she became an ally of the Silkworm Argon Bad Jiao Yun and carried Xin Qianlong

"Madam, please know, how happy I would be." Tears welled up in Nanny Fang's eyes again.

As for Mrs. Cuo, she will be lucky if she can grow up safely and get a decent dowry when she comes out of the palace.

Grandma Fang felt sad when she thought of Kou's mother who was lying on the bed in Tuogu. She folded her legs and murmured: "Madam, the girl has grown up now and is promising. Don't worry..."

Xin You turned away and secretly had red circles under her eyes.

On the evening of that January, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou helped each other go to the west courtyard for dinner.

The West Courtyard is connected to the Bookstore by a door, and most people in the Bookshop eat and sleep in the West Courtyard.

"Shopkeeper, I look very tired. Did you go out again?" Manager Zhao asked in confusion.

Although "Painted Skin" was very popular, it was not reprinted, and Mr. Songling's new book had not come out. During that time, the bookstore's business was stable, so it was not considered necessary.

Shopkeeper Hu didn't even have the strength to swing his legs: "Stop asking, let's eat."

When the red steamed buns arrived, shopkeeper Hu suddenly thought of the silver ingot and lost his chopsticks and dropped them on the table.

"Shopkeeper, what happened to me?"

Shopkeeper Hu took a deep look at Manager Zhao and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhao, have I ever seen Yin Zi be afraid?"

Manager Zhao was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his leg to touch Shopkeeper Hu's forehead.

It's over, it's over, Lao Hu seems to be stupid!

Under the candlelight in the east courtyard room, Xin You called Xiao Lian to come closer.

"What are your orders, girl?" Until then, Xiaolian was so excited that her eyes were bright.

Xin You rolled her legs and placed the two small seals on the table.

"Those two small seals, one from Jinsheng Bank and the other from Baoan Bank, allow Ye Yi to withdraw 400,000 taels of silver."
