Chapter 24: Too lonely without a case to investigate
After Song Ci and the others left, Qin Shaobai didn't know what to do. During the day, he patrolled the streets with his brothers in the government office, solved some minor problems of the people, and listened to the gossips of the families on the streets, which was quite fulfilling.
At night, he was so bored that he almost went crazy. Luo Baotou had his chess playing partner, and Liu slipped out after dinner. Xiaolan accompanied Xiaowan to study and practice swordsmanship, and he was the only one looking at the lamp on the table.
Eye to eye.
So he picked up a big lantern and became the night watchman of Nanyang County again.
The most inspected place is of course Yuanlou.
Yuanlou is still doing business as usual. From time to time, one or two suspicious-looking people will enter the building, and Qin Shaobai will keep a close eye on them until that person comes out of Yuanlou.
One night, Xiaolan made dumplings and asked Qin Shaobai to deliver them to Yuanlou for the sisters to enjoy.
Qin Shaobai walked into Yuanlou and met Xiaohong seeing a guest out.
"Mr. Qin, do you have any information that you want to exchange with us at Yuanlou?" Xiaohong joked.
"I don't have any information. There is a big basin of dumplings. Your sister Xiaolan made them. She said you like to eat these leek dumplings the most."
Xiaohong happily took the lunch box handed by Qin Shaobai and invited the sisters in the building to eat dumplings together.
"Master Qin, come to think of it, you said that if you kill our sister Alan, you can be considered our brother-in-law. Otherwise, we will call you Brother Qin from now on."
As soon as Xiaohong's words came out, the girls in Yuanlou sweetly called Qin Shaobai and "brother-in-law Qin". Some people simply skipped Qin and called him brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
"It's so shameless. I rush to call others brother-in-law, regardless of whether others want it or not." Jin Zhaoning appeared in front of everyone, wearing a white shirt again.
"Where did this wild girl come from? She came to Yuanlou to act recklessly. She didn't even find out where Yuanlou is. Can anyone come and provoke her?"
Xiaohong, Xiaocui, and several other girls have already drawn their swords.
Jin Zhaoning didn't care about these girls. He didn't even look at them and stared at Qin Shaobai: "Isn't your wife missing? Where do you get so many wives and sisters?"
"Sisters, misunderstandings, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
When Qin Shaobai saw a group of women drawing swords, he suddenly felt numb all over.
What he has been most afraid of since he was a child is girls quarreling. They can often get into a situation where onlookers feel that they are not quarreling, but performing, using their truest temperament to perform to make people laugh.
plot.
In other words, when they quarrel, they don’t realize how high and thick the sky is. Of course, they forget that besides quarreling, there are many interesting things in the world.
Normally, when women quarrel, they only end up with a bad face and a sore hand. However, these women in front of him all have martial arts, and they are really at war with each other.
"Qin Shaobai, who are you talking to for? You have forgotten that the master asked you to take good care of Yuanlou and us sisters."
Xiaohong was very angry. Qin Shaobai's perfunctory attitude really wasted his master's trust in him.
Jin Zhaoning smiled brightly: "Do you still need to take care of girls as savage as you?"
"Who are you calling savage?" the girls in Yuanlou shouted together.
"Okay, stop arguing." Qin Shaobai shouted angrily, "I just want to ask you, do you know why you came to argue just now? Xiaohong, your master said that he wants me to take care of all the sisters, so you just
You have to listen to me, I now order you to go back to your respective rooms upstairs to rest."
When Xiao Hong refused to leave, Qin Shaobai glared at her angrily, and then she backed down under the pull of the sisters.
"Miss Jin Zhaoning, please tell me, why did you come to Yuanlou? You are not following me, you came here specifically to check if I have provoked other girls!"
Jin Zhaoning didn't expect Qin Shaobai to say such stupid things. She bit her lip, controlled herself, and finally suppressed her anger: "Qin Shaobai, you are so proud, I don't care what you, a common man like you, provoke.
Girl from the Fan family, I came to see you because my master wants to see you."
Qin Shaobai said oh and ignored Jin Zhaoning, holding a lantern and walking towards Wangxiang Tower.
"Master Qin is here." Jin Guizhen saw Qin Shaobai and immediately came up to greet him, "I want to thank Master Qin today."
Qin Shaobai thought to himself, I just expressed my gratitude to you last time I had a drink with you. It has not been a few days, what do you want to thank me for?
"Master Qin will come to Wangxiang Tower if he wants to drink from now on. I have already bought Wangxiang Tower."
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but take a closer look at Jin Guizhen. This Wangxianglou master said it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. It seemed that Jin Guizhen was really a rich man.
But what does he have to do with me when he buys Wangxiang House? How can he thank me?
"Master Qin doesn't know that I have long wanted to buy Wangxiang Building, but the owner's price was too high and I couldn't buy it for a while. Thanks to the Yamen punishing the original boss, the boss had no choice but to give up the price to me."
A building like this is so luxuriously decorated, and customers come and go. So what’s wrong with paying a higher price? Besides, it’s not your revelation, how can we control the boss of Wangxiang Building from accepting customers?
Improper crime.
Qin Shaobai suddenly understood that Jin Gui was not just trying to help him find the jade, he had long been determined to get Wangxiang Tower at a low price.
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but admire Jin Guizhen, this man's calculations were really smooth.
Although he admired him, he still felt that this matter had nothing to do with him at all. He couldn't bear Jin Gui's words of thanks, but he could still enjoy the wine and food.
Anyway, idle time is idle, drinking wine and singing, how many years of life, this Jin Guizhen still makes Qin Shaobai feel unclear about the depth, but after these days of contact, Qin Shaobai thinks that he is a good drinking buddy.
Jin Guizhen asked someone to bring a few cans of good wine, served some appetizers, and the two started drinking.
"I heard that Mr. Qin was originally a businessman. During the Yuanlou prize show, I also felt that Mr. Qin was indeed suitable for business. If Mr. Qin was willing, Jin would really like to do some big business with Mr. Qin.
"
Qin Shaobai is the most annoying person to ask him to do business. These days, whether he is patrolling the streets during the day or at night, nine out of ten people who greet him are asking him for advice on how to display the products in the store.
Get higher profits.
If Qin Shaobai was in a good mood at the time, he would have taught him the business skills he had seen in the 21st century. If he was in a bad mood, he would just leave with a groan.
Of course, in most cases, Qin Shaobai would be in a particularly bad mood when asked about how to hold an exhibition.
He is a catcher, not a marketing designer.
Sometimes Qin Shaobai really wants to make a business card for himself as a Nanyang County headhunter. When he meets someone who comes to ask about business opportunities, he will just throw the business card away.
Now, Jin Guizhen brought up the matter of doing business again. Qin Shaobai felt a twinge of pain in his head. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. Just when he was about to say something to politely refuse, he heard a burst of noise from downstairs.
Then he heard words that made his blood boil: "Come here, something happened, someone was killed."
