When Jian Yu said it, Bai Yue disagreed: "That's not necessarily true. I'm telling you, if a person is crazy, he can do anything. Two people from the Lin family and eight people from the Lu family are a good deal."
"Nonsense." Jian Yu said: "There is no such thing as cost-effective. Anyway, I don't think it is possible..."
There are tables next to each other in the hall. If the two people's voices are slightly louder, the people next to them will naturally hear them.
People love gossip, and the murder case between the Lin family and the Lu family is just a piece of embarrassing gossip in the eyes of the public.
When people nearby heard the argument between Bai Yue and Jian Yu, they naturally started talking about it too.
This is a very strange case that has been concluded, but it has been re-examined in the past few days because of the witch incident, and it has once again appeared in the forefront.
Of course, among the people at the seven or eight tables, there were some who were particularly good at gossiping, some who were particularly gossipy, some who particularly wanted to express themselves, and some who particularly needed others' recognition. Bai Yue and Jian Yu started talking about them.
The people who started the topic, Bai Yue and Jian Yu, stopped arguing and listened, eating and drinking.
Although most of them are just speculation and nonsense, if there are more people, there will always be some people who know some secrets. It may be just hearsay, but it may not mean that there is no wind but no waves.
Full of wine and food.
The waiter brought a box, which was divided into four areas, including four candied fruits: tiger skin peanuts, strange-smelling flat fruits, milky white grapes, and snow mountain plums.
"This is the Sixi dried fruit you asked for."
The fruit exuded a sweet smell. Bai Yue pinched a plum and threw it into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's delicious."
"Young lady is an expert at first glance. Our candied fruits are famous throughout the city." The waiter smiled and said, "There is also this box. Today's dishes and these two boxes of snacks are all given by our shopkeeper. You don't have to pay for them."
.”
The waiter opened another box, which was divided into four areas, each containing different candied fruits.
"These are four sweet preserves, which include candied apples, candied longans, candied fresh peaches, and candied green plums." The waiter said, "Young lady will also like it."
They didn't expect the boss to be so polite, and both of them were a little surprised.
Although a few dishes and two boxes of candied snacks didn't cost much, it was a generous gift from the boss, as they were not relatives. It made both of them feel a little embarrassed.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over from behind the counter.
"Sir, miss." The shopkeeper cupped his hands and said, "My surname is You."
As soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, a feeling of familiarity came over him. Although it was a bit strange, he definitely had a Beijing accent.
Bai Yue still didn't think so, but Jian Yu was stunned: "The Taibai Tower in the capital..."
"Yes." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The Taibai Tower in the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty is opened by my brother. The young master is indeed from the capital city. When I listened to you talking just now, I felt cordial."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Jian Yu and the others had only been out for a short time, and there were a group of people, so naturally they didn't feel it. But shopkeeper You had been opening a shop here for decades, and there were many people in Dazhou, but he had really not seen many people in the capital city of Dazhou.
indivual.
Bai Yue only felt that although the scene of passing cigarettes and wine was missing, it was sincere and familiar. When she and Cheng Shuo first met, she also wanted to hold him and cry. Of course, she cried unilaterally. Later, she was so moved.
His emotions were quickly dissipated by the fear from Captain Xing.
After exchanging a few words, the shopkeeper said: "Young Master is from the capital. I have a request. I wonder if I can help you."
What's the point? Jian Yu said politely: "Shopkeeper You, please tell me."
Shopkeeper You said: "I haven't been back for many years, and there aren't many caravans from Hani City to Dazhou. I happened to meet the young master today, and I want to ask him to bring me a family letter and some things when I go back."
Bai Yue couldn't help but said: "We don't know each other, shopkeeper, so just feel free to give us the things. Aren't you afraid that we'll eat them along the way?"
The corner of Jian Yu's mouth twitched, and Shopkeeper You couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's not all food."
Bai Yue suddenly felt 10,000 points of embarrassment. She intuitively brought something, that is, some local specialties, so she said that sentence without thinking.
Fortunately, the shopkeepers are all well-educated and immediately changed the topic: "There are also some items that are used for fun with the characteristics of the Twelve Tribes. There are not many and they are not worth much. I have opened a store for so many years, who can take a look at it?
You can tell at a glance that you two are absolutely reliable, and I feel very reassured."
It was easy to say things like this, so Jian Yu couldn't say anything, so he answered immediately. Speaking of which, he often went to Taibai Tower in the capital, and he knew the boss, so he was an acquaintance rather than a friend.
At that moment, Jian Yu reported an address and asked the shopkeeper to prepare the things and send them there. They would stay for a few days before preparing to return to Beijing.
When the shopkeeper heard that the place Jian Yu gave him was an inn that only received officials, he immediately nodded repeatedly, obviously more relieved. His eyes were indeed good. Not only was Jian Yu not short of money, but he also had status, and he would not treat him like that.
Something is exciting.
After chatting with Shopkeeper You for a while, the two of them went out carrying the two boxes of candied fruits they had given.
This was just a small episode, and no one paid it any mind. The two of them summarized the chats during the meal, and then went to the teahouse to listen to a play.
The principle is to go wherever there are many people, and if there is no one to talk to, I will lead everyone to chat. After listening to the gossip all afternoon, everyone had tinnitus and dizziness.
But it’s not all without gain.
Qiu Wanwan was very proud: "I have made a major discovery."
Lin Yi admired her and said, "Sister Qiu is so powerful."
In the past, everyone called Qiu Wanwan the owner of Qiu Valley, but recently they started to change their tune. Qiu Wanwan was very happy about this, and felt that her personality charm had conquered everyone. Especially Bai Yue. The more Bai Yue liked her, it meant that Bai Chuan liked her.
Qiu Wanwan said: "The Lu family and the Lin family have known each other before, and their relationship is very good. It's the kind of relationship that is good and has a strong relationship. But they pretended not to know each other."
Everyone was surprised: "How do you know this?"
"I heard what someone said." Qiu Wanwan said: "It was a pawnshop owner. He said that he received several good items in succession back then. It was immediately obvious that they were from the same batch. Those items were pawned by the Lin family and the Lu family respectively.
Yes, each person exchanged a large sum of silver."
This news is indeed rare. Meng Lan's people didn't check it carefully at that time. It's better to have more than less. It's impossible for the pawnshop owner to take the initiative to tell anyone.
"Moreover, these two shops were opened front and back. It turns out that these two people are not from Hani City. They are both from outside and came here together."
Bai Yue took a pen and paper to write and draw.
"We knew each other, had strong connections, were rich, settled down together, and died unexpectedly... I guess he died unexpectedly, plus what the Lin family said before he died, you are so cruel. There is also the mask found in the cloth shop. This plot is somewhat familiar to me.
.”
Bai Yue lit the table and concluded: "Wash your hands in the golden basin!"
