Chapter 65 Tangquan Town
Shopping? Chunyu didn't come back to his senses for a moment: What are you shopping for? Didn't you say that you came to Tangquan Town to identify the murderer?
In desperation, she almost called her "cousin" by mistake, so she had to call her "cousin": "Don't we still have serious things to do?"
Zhou Heng was very satisfied with the word "cousin" and gave Chunyu a thumbs up: "'Cousin', serious things have to be done, but the masters didn't set a time for us to go back. It's rare to come out once, so we should arrive first.
Let’s take a walk around this town?”
While talking, he pulled Chunyu to the guest room upstairs: "Let's take a rest first, and then go out for a walk."
After closing the door in the room, Zhou Heng smiled and told his thoughts to the confused Chun Yu: "I don't think it is advisable to wait and wait, not to mention that I don't know when the person will come out, day and night.
Not necessarily, what if the person is not actually inside? Then when should we wait? Should we keep waiting for ten days and a half? "
"Don't worry about this." Chunyu felt that Uncle He, who was always smiling, must have thought of this a long time ago. Moreover: "In addition to us here, the prince also sent people to monitor the house day and night. Whenever anyone comes out,
There are people following them, and they will inform Miss Biao of the whereabouts of those who came out, so you can go over and identify them in time."
"But we can't be sure that the boatman is also here? And who knows how many people are inside? What should we do if we lose him?" Zhou Heng felt that although this method of waiting and waiting was effective, it was very time-consuming.
, she wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible and then go home relaxed.
On the road before, because the interior of the carriage was more comfortable, little girl Chuntao said with envy that the prince was treating her well. Is that because she had to take care of her relationship as a young lady of the Zhou family? So no matter how nice it was, she would be with him.
It doesn't matter to you, it's better to leave as soon as possible. People from two worlds have no fate.
After hearing Zhou Heng's words, Chunyu didn't know how to reply to her. Indeed, this possibility also existed. If the murderer was not here, it is possible that even after ten days and a half of waiting, there would be no results.
But that's the only way we can do it now. After all, this is the only clue. What's more, the person who was instigated before entered the house here. No matter what, there must be relevant people here, and there will always be something to gain.
Zhou Heng didn't think so. He pulled Chunyu's sleeve and told her in a low voice the method he had thought of along the way: "I was thinking that we should go shopping for two days to get familiar with the outside environment, including the area around the house.
And didn’t you put on makeup for me last time? You’ll put on makeup for me again this time. Then we can find some excuse to sneak into the house and have a look!"
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. If anything happens, Chunyuhui Kungfu can protect you, and there are people from Prince Jing's palace outside who can provide timely assistance. What are you afraid of?
Zhou Heng, an outsider, had simple ideas, and he also had an inexplicable confidence in Shen Fu, so he was gearing up to act on his own ideas.
When Chunyu heard this, she became anxious: "Miss Biao, we don't know what is going on in that house, so we can't act so rashly!"
"So I said we should go shopping for a few days first and wait until we understand the situation before we act!" Zhou Heng looked confident.
Okay, let's hold Miss Biao steady first, seize the opportunity in these two days to contact Uncle He, and ask him for instructions on the situation. Chunyu bit her lip and reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that the discussion was over, Zhou Heng happily asked Chunyu to quickly put on makeup for him: "We will go out for a walk later to see where there is delicious food!"
Although it looks like a small town, there is always a food street, right?
After that, the two of them packed up and went downstairs to ask the waiter at the inn. They learned that the town was actually not that big. It was just two crisscrossing streets, with shops selling mountain products and restaurants using mountain products as the main ingredient on both sides.
Lord, you will never get lost.
"Mountain goods?" Zhou Heng suddenly became interested. When he entered a restaurant that specializes in dumplings and pasta, he found that the dumplings here actually contained roe deer meat and wild boar meat. He was also stunned:
"Chun Yu, why don't we each do the same thing? This way we can have two flavors."
Chun Yu still felt a little uncomfortable at this moment, after all, the other party had a different identity from her, but after seeing Zhou Heng dressed in a maid outfit similar to her own, and seeing her calmly explaining to the waiter, she even looked at the slightly greasy table.
He didn't mind, he took one look at it and sat down, then he sat down openly.
In his heart, he was very fond of this young lady's happy-go-lucky temperament. Later, Zhou Heng took the initiative to re-divide the two portions of dumplings that were brought to him without any fuss. He even started to think about turning back while eating.
How to go to Chuntao and show off the honor of having a meal with her cousin as close as sisters.
After eating the dumplings, the two of them went shopping happily. As they walked, they "by the way" came to the house whose address they had been told.
In fact, it was just an ordinary house, behind a shop selling dried fruits, not far from the inn where the two of them lived, and it didn't look conspicuous at all.
Zhou Heng looked at it, thought about it, and then pulled Chunyu into the dried fruit shop in front.
"Hey, what do you two want to buy? The store has a full range of varieties." A teenage clerk in the store had a sharp eye. When he saw the clothes the two girls were wearing, the materials and workmanship were good, he guessed they were maids from a certain family in Huangzhuang, and he quickly started talking.
Businessman greeted him calmly.
Zhou Heng took a look and saw that there weren't many varieties, but they were definitely natural and without additives, so he bought a few. The money was handed over by Shen Fu through the window before setting off, and he felt it was quite sufficient.
Even so, Zhou Heng still paid off the price in a decent manner according to the custom of the 21st century, which made Chunyu very surprised. Later, in her surprised eyes, he chatted with the very attentive clerk:
"Hey, let me ask you, are all of you locals here?"
After chatting for a while, Chun Yu listened with great admiration. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and her parents were considered to be powerful people in the palace. Therefore, she was carefully trained since she was a child, hoping that she and her younger brother could also become the palace's helpers.
, the direction of training was not the conventional way of life for ordinary people, and later he was responsible for the inner study of the palace. Yue Yin was an example of the eldest maid in the palace. The family had plenty of money, so he usually bought rouge, gouache, hair flowers, etc.
Basically, I don’t care much about price.
Who would have thought that this young cousin, who had grown up well-fed and well-dressed, would raise the price in a decent manner, and then have a seemingly unintentional chat with the guy, which made people pick up some things from it.
For example, according to the guy, there are actually not many locals in this town. Most of them come from Gyeonggi Province and even further away from Jungnam Province. They rent local people's houses to do business. Anyway, there are many places nearby.
This is Huangzhuang. The maids and boys in the village have nothing to do on weekdays, so they go to Tangquan Town to hang out. But he is a local, and the shopkeeper is his father. This shop is also owned by his own family, and there is no rent.
The biggest concern is that the prices of the items in the shop are absolutely fair.
"Ms. Cousin, why didn't you continue to ask questions later?" On the way back, the two of them were eating a pack of red dates they bought. Chunyu was a little puzzled. The waiter seemed quite willing to talk about it. After all, the business in the store was very complicated.
not much.
"Oh, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's annoying to ask too many questions." Zhou Heng smiled and was in a good mood. The evening breeze in the mountains was very refreshing: "It's okay. Let's go buy something from his store tomorrow. When we arrive,
It’s never too late to ask.”
Chunyu is also smart and understood immediately after hearing it. But it was not true. It was also for business. It was polite to tell you so much, so he agreed immediately with a smile.
In the next few days, the two of them visited Tangquan Town and got a general understanding of the town's layout. During the process, Zhou Heng was told to identify several people. Unfortunately, they were not the boatman, but they were with a few people.
People in the shop chatted back and forth, and some things were discussed.
Later, Zhou Heng originally wanted to find a long-term residence and storage place for his cousin who was doing business, so he wanted to become a neighbor next to the house and then slowly find an opportunity to go in and find someone. Who knows?
From the shop where I first went to buy dried fruits, I learned that the tenant of the house behind him no longer wanted to rent it. I heard that he had been asking people to ask if anyone was willing to renew the lease for the past two days.
Zhou Heng's heart moved, and she thought for no reason that it could be that private house, right? To her surprise, it turned out to be the real house, so she quickly made a decision: "Well, Brother Wang, do you know the tenants in that house?
?The rent for a house like this should be cheaper, right? Can my cousin and I go take a look inside first?"
Chunyu was startled when she heard this, and instinctively waved her hands to refuse: "No, no, cousin, let's wait until brother and the others come." Who knows who is inside? The prince has said that the safety of cousin is in danger.
is the first.
"Oh, cousin, how can we wait for this kind of thing? What if it is rented by someone else?" Zhou Heng knew what she was worried about, but what if the gang evacuated and it was all in vain? She still had to go in and take a look early.
, then winked at her: "Don't worry, Brother Wang is with us. He is a local. We just went in to take a look. It's okay."
These two generous girls have spent a lot of money in their shop in the past two days. Brother Wang is about the same age as them, and he thinks he can talk to these two girls very well, although the girls look like maids from a wealthy family.
, it’s a bit too high to reach, but if the cousin they talked about can rent a house and settle down here to do business, then... Anyway, he just takes them to see the house, and they can’t suffer any loss and gain a good impression.
Not bad, but the worst thing is that my cousin, who is knowledgeable and interested, will buy some dried fruits back later to express her gratitude.
Brother Wang was very enthusiastic and advised Chun Yu: "Yes, girl, the rent for this house that is going to be sublet is definitely cheap and very cost-effective. If someone else takes advantage of it, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"
He also reported to his father in front of them that he wanted to leave for a while. Anyway, there was not much business in the store at the moment. The shopkeeper knew that the two girls had spent a lot of money in the store these days, so he was happy.
I agreed to it as a courtesy to him.
"Okay then!" Chunyu still hesitated a little. He looked at the sky outside. It was still early noon and the sun was high, so he had a thought in his mind: "Why don't we come back after lunch?" Then we could keep an eye on the outside.
The guards contacted him and asked them to watch more.
"Oh, what if someone wants to take a lunch break after lunch?" Zhou Heng had his own plan: "The weather is hot now, so it's not good to visit in the afternoon. Besides, we have to come all the way here after lunch.
One trip, what a hassle!"
The main thing is that this lunch time should be the most crowded time, and by then we can basically determine whether the boatman is here.
Unable to defeat Zhou Heng, finally, a group of three people left the dried fruit shop, led by Brother Wang under the warm sunshine at noon, and knocked on the door of the house.
