"Why--"

The fifth aunt called out to his back as he walked up the stairs, but when she saw that he was going downstairs without looking back, she stopped her activities, showed a sly smile, collected the banknote, and went to the kitchen.

As Su Shou walked up the stairs, he had already taken a general look at the environment of the small inn. When he got upstairs, Wu Chun and the man also arrived. The man looked at him and walked to the door of one of the rooms, knocking on the door.

.

There was silence inside the door for a moment, and then a young male voice came: "Who is it?"

The man said: "Yes, it's me, a servant of the Liu family in Cangzhou. I just met the young master this morning."

Not long after, footsteps were heard in the house.

Everyone in the corridor held their breath. Then, the door opened, revealing a strong and tall figure with a half-face mask on his face.

Su Shou looked at this man, from his body to his face, then from his face to his clothes, and finally settled on his clear eyes. It was obvious that he was a capable young man. The clear eyes further showed that he

He is still a calm young man who has seen the world. However, it can be seen from his clenched fists hanging by his side that he should be used to taking orders from others.

Su Shou knew that this was not a ghost hand, so she lowered her eyes and motioned for the man to reply.

The man bowed his waist and said: "Sir, this is a friend of our boss. After seeing the lock made by Mr. Guishou, he also wanted to come and ask for one. Please inform Mr. Guishou."

The grim-faced young man looked at Su Shou, his eyes were very calm, and after reading it, he showed displeasure: "Who asked you to bring people here casually? Don't you know our rules?"

Su Shou looked at his expression. Not only did he have seen the world, but he also seemed to have been accustomed to a high-status master. Could it be that this ghost hand really had an extraordinary origin?

"Sir, please be accommodating. This gentleman sincerely asks for your help."

Men must be careful.

The grim-faced man said impatiently: "Okay, just wait here. I'll go ask first."

After saying that, he patted the door and closed it again.

Wu Chun was very angry: "What's the origin of this? Are you so arrogant?"

The man stretched out his hand to comfort him: "Please keep your voice down, this man is the famous Ghost Hands man. It would be great if he agrees to report."

Su Shou felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. The Su family's lock technology industry is famous all over the world. When will it be someone else's turn to be called "famous" in front of others? But now the descendants of the Su family are unworthy and cannot afford the great reputation left by their ancestors. Now let him

A junior with an unknown origin stole the limelight. It was like a dragon was being tricked by a shrimp in the shallows, and a tiger was bullied by a dog. Looking at the closed room for a moment, I could only be speechless and stunned.

There are two rooms inside and outside the house, but the connecting doorway is relatively hidden and blocked by a screen, so it cannot be seen at all.

Su Ruo drank half a cup of tea in the inner room. Qin Ye, who had been leaning against the wall and listening, turned around and said, "Tian Song is here!"

Su Ruo put the tea, and sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Tian Song, the guard sent by Han Mo, took off his ghost mask and walked in: "Come on, come on, Mr. Su came in person. Sure enough, as soon as he came, he asked to see the ghost hand and asked for a lock.

.”

Fusang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then see you?"

"Of course we can't see him." Su Ruodao, "Just invite him into the room and then do what we planned before."

Tian Song pinched his chin and hissed: "But I think Mr. Su has some bad intentions. What if he breaks in?"

"You're not afraid of breaking in." Qin Ye looked behind him, "Fifth Aunt is here driving around, and she can't be caught in her territory. Besides, Master Su's biggest headache at the moment is not ghost hands, he has more skills than others.

If you catch the ghost, you will be more eager to solve it. I bet he won't be so reckless."

Tian Song nodded: "That's okay."

After saying that, he put on the mask and went.

Su Shou and the others outside could only wait for a moment, but it felt like it was taking a very long time. Finally, the door opened, and the man with the grimace said, "Come in, you guys."

】

When Wu Chun saw this, he walked into the house first, looked around and then bowed at the door to welcome Su Shou in.

This is a very ordinary room with a screen to the east. Although we can't see what's going on there, we can easily guess that there is another room inside. And they tracked it for a long time, and it was regarded as a locked door by the people in the capital.

The "ghost hands" of the gods are inside right now!

Su Shou is such a patient person, but at this moment, there is still a trace of blood flowing.

"Sir, please sit down."

Tian Song first sat down at the main seat in the room, then spread his hands to Su Shou as a gesture of invitation.

Su Shou said: "Why don't you see Mr. Ghost Hand?"

Tian Song muttered lightly: "My master never sees guests. If anything happens, sir, just tell me."

"Oh?" Su Shou said, "Then your master has quite strict rules."

"My master may not be able to compare with my master's status, but in the Suo Dao industry, I can still say that I have never been afraid of anyone. Isn't it because my master is so famous that I went here specifically to find this place?"

Wu Chun was displeased by his arrogant attitude and said coldly: "Haikou is such a big place. If you are so capable, why should you hide your head and show your tail?"

"My husband just doesn't like dealing with people."

Wu Chunmi asked: "Is it because he doesn't like to deal with people, or is it because Su Jiatian Workshop is famous in the capital and he doesn't dare to show his face?"

Tian Song glanced over: "Is this gentleman here to ask for a lock, or is he here to be boring?"

Su Shou immediately glanced at Wu Chun, and the man next to him also pulled him, and Wu Chun closed his lips.

Su Shou looked at Tian Song: "Of course I'm here to buy a lock. But since Guishou never interacts with people, how can I be sure that your master is indeed Guishou?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Song took out an extremely exquisite copper lock the size of a copper coin from his sleeve and asked, "Have you seen such a lock elsewhere, sir?"

Su Shou took the lock on his hand and saw that they were about the same size, but each was exquisite in its own way. Not to mention an expert like him, even ordinary people could see how outstanding they were when they held such a lock.

, he hadn’t seen it in Tiangongfang for a long time. He turned to the bottom of the lock again, and the emblem of "Ghost Hand" engraved on it was clearly visible, and it was also the same as the emblem of other locks made by Ghost Hand.

.

"Sir, it seems that he is an expert. Are you sure now?"

Under his urging, Su Shou put down the lock. Then he said: "It seems that I am lucky. No one in the capital can see the true appearance of the ghost hand. I am only one step away from meeting him."

Tian Song raised his lips and said, "It's really good luck. If you come a little late, sir, you won't be able to see me. Since you want to make locks, you should know that my master's locks are not cheap. Have you brought the money?"

Su Shou reached out to Wu Chun, took a thick stack of banknotes, and placed them on the table. "Here are five hundred taels."

Tian Song reached out to take it, but Su Shou held it down.

Tian Song raised his eyebrows: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Su Shou said: "I have money. But do you know that buying and selling private copper is against the law?"

Tian Song paused and said in an unhappy voice: "What do you want to do, sir?"

Su Shou clasped his hands and said slowly: "The imperial court has laws. Mining privately, as well as buying and selling copper and iron, must be punished. In the most serious case, they will be sent to prison, and in the lightest case, they will be fined a silver coin. There are hundreds of locks sold by ghost hands."

Two, as far as I know, in the past few months since Guishou debuted, at least a dozen locks have been sold, involving tens of thousands of silver taels. Do you know what you should do if you are convicted based on this amount of money?"

As expected of the young minister of Dali Temple who was born as a Jinshi, his words were spoken calmly and slowly, but with a heavy weight, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became stagnant!

Looking at the grim-faced man who immediately froze, Wu Chun, who clenched his fists next to him, took a deep breath of relief.
