Chapter 55: Mo You said that there is a businessman surnamed Qi in the city
"Who took it if you didn't?"
The waiter's reaction was obviously wrong. Sun Yunmeng's cold face when questioning was still very bluffing. The waiter subconsciously looked somewhere, and Sun Yunmeng followed her gaze and locked eyes with the waiter.
That waiter seemed much calmer than this beautiful waiter. He didn't panic when Sun Yunmeng's eyes were locked on him. He respectfully bowed to Sun Yunmeng as a junior and answered.
"That face was indeed put into the treasury by the junior in accordance with the rules."
Follow the rules and put them in the treasury!
Just these two sentences made Sun Yunmeng narrow his eyes.
"Rules? What rules? Rules for making money from dead people?!"
Sun Yunmeng's displeasure was very obvious, but the beauty did not panic when she greeted him and continued to answer respectfully.
"Instead of wasting resources, it is better to circulate them again. When I put them into storage, I also took out a corresponding number of spirit beads and distributed them to everyone who saw them in the building."
The things were put into storage, and the spirit beads that were exchanged were also divided. The beautiful host did not feel that she had done anything wrong. After all, everyone made a profit.
The law does not punish everyone, and she put it into the warehouse according to the regulations. She could not think of anything wrong on her part, so she stood firm.
Sun Yunmeng really couldn't say anything else. She knew instinctively that what this person said was wrong, but she couldn't find any point to refute her. After a long time, she could only force out one sentence.
"Okay! What's your name?"
"Junior Suzuran."
Sun Yunmeng walked away without burning the body. She went upstairs angrily.
Only a few floors up this building, she heard Mrs. Liu's sharp yelling again.
The original movement of going upstairs was paused, but Sun Yunmeng froze there, not knowing whether to go up or down!
In a small Eight Treasures Building, what happened on this day was such that it put a golden elixir-level swordsman in a dilemma!
Sun Yunmeng's hand holding the sword was itchy, and he was ready to cut something. Fortunately, Sun Yunmeng still held back.
Mo You had been refining elixirs for a whole day in the dilapidated alchemy room. At midnight, the door of her dilapidated alchemy room was pushed open, and Su Qian walked in carrying a food box.
Standing at the door and taking a deep breath, the rich fragrance of red pills made Su Qian's somewhat troubled mood feel much better, and the smile on her face became two points more sincere.
"My junior sister's method of refining elixirs is really good. The elixirs are pure and fragrant, so they must be good elixirs without erysipelas! Junior sister, how many have you made this day? Do you want to sell them? Just let Baibao Pavilion collect them, and the wealth will not go to other people's fields.
!”
Su Qi'an had already arrived in front of Mo You when he was talking. He put the food box on the ground, sat next to Mo You without noticing anything, and raised his hand to open the food box. Inside was a pile of spirit crabs!
"Junior sister, come and try it. This is the steamed crab that I caught today. It was specially processed by the chef of Zuixianlou. The taste is no worse than the signature dish of Zuixianlou that I had before!"
Mo You still likes to eat spirit crabs, but Su Qi'an usually doesn't show courtesy for nothing. He spent a lot of time to catch such a box of spirit crabs, and also spent a lot of money to ask the spirit chef to help cook them, which is bound to be a problem for her.
Ask for something!
So she glanced sideways at the steamed spirit crab in the food box and asked straight to the point.
"What do you want?"
Su Qian came over with a smile.
"Little junior sister, your spiritual soil..."
Mo You retracted his gaze decisively, and even moved the golden clay cauldron away from Su Qi'an.
"... Junior sister, don't be so stingy!" Su Qian saw that Mo You really didn't intend to give him some gold, so she could only curl her lips and give up for now.
"Okay, junior sister, if you don't want to do it to senior brother, I won't force you, but senior brother, I did encounter some problems..."
Su Qian pushed the food box towards Mo You again, and then asked her question.
"Senior brother, I've been looking around outside and haven't found any evidence. Since you know everything, little junior sister, how about you give me some tips?"
Mrs. Liu's matter was indeed secretive. If Mo You hadn't suddenly appeared and uncovered the secret, Su Qian and Sun Yunmeng might not have been able to find Mrs. Liu no matter how long they spent. At most, they would have found a peony.
Mo You thought about it for a while, and felt that this exchange condition was acceptable, so he turned sideways and sat upright.
She pulled the food box directly in front of her, broke off a crab leg with a click, opened her mouth and started to ask Su Qi's questions.
"Mrs. Liu plans to sell these pills to a traveling merchant named Qi. The price has been negotiated and the delivery date will be five days later."
A traveling businessman named Qi?
Su Qian thought about the news he had heard outside today, and it really reminded him of such a person.
"Mrs. Liu has no direct contact with the traveling merchant surnamed Qi. They have always exchanged letters. After they read the letters, they burned them without leaving any evidence. If you go to see the traveling merchant surnamed Qi, he will not recognize him."
Baiyu Pavilion is not a small sect. Anyone with some connections knows that Baibao Pavilion is opened by Baiyu Pavilion. Anyone who dares to take over this batch of pills must either have a strong background or be greedy and cautious enough. This surnamed You Qi
The merchants all stood.
"I heard that this businessman named Qi is a descendant of the Qi family in Chenxi City."
Mo You didn't nod or shake his head, just minding his own business eating the spirit crab in the food box.
That's what the businessman surnamed Qi did to the outside world, but Mo You couldn't be sure whether he was a descendant of Chenxi's Qi family.
After all, Chenxi City is too far away from her, and her current tentacles can't reach that far.
Mo You was breaking off the spirit crab legs and eating them. Suddenly she paused. This sudden behavior attracted Su Qian's attention.
"What's wrong?"
Mo You slowly put the leg meat into his mouth, and then shook his head.
"nothing."
Su Qi'an was doubtful, but Mo You didn't say anything, and he didn't ask any more questions. His mind was still on this mission.
"Junior sister, apart from the businessman named Qi, can you provide any other information?"
Mo You thought about it and actually provided him with another one.
"The city lord's wife's personal maid Yao Qing is an alchemy cultivator in the foundation-building stage. She and the merchant named Qi have known each other for a long time. It is also her contribution that Mrs. Liu was able to get in touch with the merchant named Qi this time."
Su Qian understood instantly.
"Are you saying that the city lord's wife was also responsible for the missing batch of pills this time?"
Mo You glanced at Su Qi'an secretly. She didn't say anything, but Su Qi'an understood.
It was just because she understood that Su Qian was confused.
"As the wife of the city lord, she shouldn't do this."
This batch of elixirs is large in quantity and expensive. For Baibao Pavilion in Ancheng, this batch of elixirs is the number of elixirs they can get this quarter. If it is lost, it will be huge for Baibao Pavilion.
loss.
But for the wife of the city lord of Anjo, this was not enough.
After Su Qian hesitated for a moment, she understood that the loss of these pills was caused by Mrs. Liu, and the city lord's wife most likely had other motives.
