Chapter 89 It's time to wear before the play is played!

There are six counties in Huizhou. There are many businessmen doing business outside, including salt industry, pawnshops, and tea. All counties are more serious. She County has the most salt merchants, and Wuyuan has the most wood tea business. Xiuning people often run pawn shops, Jixi people are very good at opening taverns and restaurants, and Qimen Yi County people do cloth grocery trading. Of course, this does not mean that there are no famous salt merchants in other counties except She County. For example, Xiuning Cheng family has produced several famous salt merchants in Huainan. However, Huizhou Chaofeng was among Xiuning people. Take the seven pawn shops in Huizhou Prefecture City as an example, five of them were run by Xiuning people.

The pawn shop opened by Xiuning people is of course the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of Xiuning. At this moment, in the Wufu pawn shop on Xiaobei Street in Fucheng, Lao Chaofeng at the counter was appraising the pawn items, while a young man stood absent-mindedly in front of the door, sleepy eyes, obviously not sleeping well last night. Suddenly, he saw someone coming in, he came back to his senses, but did not go up to greet him immediately, but looked at the other party's clothes with a picky look. After all, the people who came in and out of the pawn shop were either poor people or prodigal sons with a poor family. The former did not need to be polite, but the latter had to be careful because they often brought good things.

When he found out that the person who came was wearing a cloth clothes, the young man Ye Qinglong lost his energy. When he saw that the other party was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he even outlined a picture of a family member being sick as an emergency rescue in his heart, and he became more and more lazy to move. However, he glanced at the face again, and he felt as if he was a little familiar. After observing carefully, he almost didn't jump up.

Damn it, how could he forget this face? Didn’t he just cause himself to be dragged by the shopkeeper to the Xu family on Doushan Street to kowtow and apologize, and then he was so scared that he quit Mixing’s job and changed his career to this pawn shop to work?

Last night, Wang Fulin locked Zhong Daniu in the cellar, then went to find Master Zhao Wu, told him about the matter, and asked him to mobilize two or three people to investigate the book shop. Since Wang Erniang said that more than a dozen books were new and could smell the ink, it should be the new items in the book shop, and maybe some clues could be found. The other way was Mr. Zhao Wu and several other official soldiers, who were with Qin Liu, and a person who had already raised it from the class room, were ready to go out at any time. For this reason, he even sent Cheng Naixuan home first, for fear that something would go wrong today.

At this moment, he left Qin Liu at the tea stall at the intersection and planned to observe the Wufu pawnshop close by himself.

There were only two guests in front of him. An old man in front of him was a big cotton jacket worn in winter. The cotton jacket had a bright silk surface, which looked thick, but in the end it was only a few hundred yuan. This man wrapped a piece of cloth and put all his money in his arms, bulging in a large piece of cake, but he walked out quickly without raising his head. He was tripped to the edge of the threshold and almost staggered and fell.

The latter tall and thin young man in a straight body still had time to turn his head and look at it. After sneering, he then took a bracelet with a proud look. The bracelet was yellow and looked half a tael. He handed the thing to the Queen Chaofeng inside, and he pretended to say, "I will estimate a few more money first. When I turn around, I will come to redeem it immediately, but don't treat it as a death!"

But after just a few breaths of handing in the thing, the thing was thrown out with a bang, and then the Chaofeng scolded him.

"You dare to use gilded things to fool people! Get out of here, otherwise I will send you to the yamen and sue you for a blackmail!"

Seeing that the guest was in his early thirties, Wang Fulin immediately lost his energy in the face of the scolding. He fled with something and fled. The hem, which was originally decent, immediately revealed a pair of shoes that could see the toes. He was obviously too poor to be the only one of the clothes on the front door. After watching the excitement, he was the only one left in the empty place. He was about to go forward as he had planned earlier, but he was a gadget, but he didn't expect a very low voice suddenly came from behind.

"Does the little official want to be a thing?"

Huh?

This Xiaobei Street is not in the most golden area of ​​Huizhou Fucheng, and is not very prominent among the many pawn shops. In addition, Wang Fulin has never been to Fucheng several times, and he never expected anyone to know him. He turned his head and saw the young man behind him who was still vaguely acquainted with him. He was slightly stunned and remembered the old thing.

There is such a coincidence in the world. When he met that guy in Mixing, he actually went to work in this pawn shop! What should I do now? I'm almost out of the way before the show was performed?

Wang Fulin was speechless about his luck. At this moment, he stared at the young man with big eyes and found that Chaofeng behind the pawnshop had already urged him impatiently. He had a sudden inspiration and immediately grabbed the young man who he didn't know his name and said, "I'm not here to be a thing, I'm here to find someone, let me say something to him!"

After saying this, he dragged the guy out without saying a word. Lao Chaofeng on the counter inside was stunned and stood up and looked out. He found that the two of them were talking at the door. Then he shouted in anger: "Ye Qinglong, don't forget that he has just arrived for a few days. If he dares to be lazy, I will report to the boss to drive you away!"

When Ye Qinglong heard this outside, he felt so heartbroken that he had offended people for being too arrogant last time, but this time he was too diligent to cause trouble. If he had known this, he would have pretended not to see it and waited for someone to come out to say hello carefully. He was thinking about it, and a voice came from his ears.

"When did you come from Mixing?"

Ye Qinglong dared not say that I changed my career to avoid you. His eyes turned around and wanted to change the topic, but before he could speak, the young scholar in front of him spoke again: "Forget it, where you work is your freedom, I will just ask. This is not a place to speak. It's almost noon now. After you finish your work and have dinner, go to the tea stall at the intersection of Xiaobei Street to find me, and I have something to say to you."

Seeing that Wang Fulin had finished speaking, he let go and went south along Xiaobei Street. Ye Qinglong hurriedly tidy up his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief on his chest. After entering the pawnshop, he did not dare to say a word when facing the cursing Lao Chaofeng behind the counter. He swept the floor and cleaned up for a long time. During lunch, he casually took a few sips to deal with them and filled his stomach. Then he took a look at a loophole and slipped out. As soon as he arrived at the tea stall at the intersection, he saw that Wang Fulin, dressed in a cloth, was sitting there next to a table.

As soon as he arrived in front of Wang Fulin, someone raised his hand to signal him to sit. In a moment, Dr. Tea sent him a cup of tea, but it was thick with sesame walnuts. There was a candied fruit underneath, which was fragrant and sweet when he drank it in one sip. He secretly peeked at the tea in front of Wang Fulin, and saw a cup of tea, and felt much more at ease. If he wanted to ask for a crime, how could the guests get more favorable treatment than the owner? But what he didn't expect was that Wang Fulin called him over and just talked to him with interest.

From his previous experience of working in Mixing, to how he was after changing to pawn shops, who were at home, and then to the messy chat, he had to deal with it carefully at first, but gradually became puzzled.

Did Guanren Wang specifically chat with him?

ps: The second update! The third update is still there today, I'm asking for recommendation votes...
