While the two were talking, Quan Hui walked out of the gold shop and walked up to Yong Shijing, "Uncle, the shopkeeper of the gold shop invites you in."
Yong Shijing nodded, "Quanlin is prepared and must guard the door. There is no need to enter the store, and their clerks are not allowed to close the store."
Quan Lin nodded and said: "Uncle, please don't worry. I will guard the door of the store. If you and Brother Hui don't come out, I won't let anyone touch the door."
"Okay, Quanhui, let's go in."
"Hey! You are in front, I will follow you."
Yong Shijing and Quanhui walked into the gold shop generously, and the shopkeeper of the gold shop was standing in the shop waiting for them with a smile.
"It is a great honor for our shop to have a distinguished guest visit us today. I am the shopkeeper of this shop. On behalf of my boss, I would like to invite you to come to the back to speak."
"Thank you, shopkeeper, please!"
"I will show you the way, please follow me."
The shopkeeper led the way sideways to the back of the store, turning back and smiling from time to time, appearing very respectful.
After bypassing a screen, there is a back door, passing through the door is a square patio. Jinpu shopkeeper, Yong Shijing, and Quanhui walked along the eaves to the back hall.
The shopkeeper of Jinpu and Yong Shijing were seated as guest and host respectively. A waiter had already served tea to them, while Quan Hui was standing behind Yong Shijing.
"What's your surname, the shopkeeper? Where are you from?"
Yong Shijing asked first.
"Oh! My surname is Xie, and my hometown is Kaifeng."
"I'm not from here. When did you move here?"
"My ancestors moved here to avoid disasters in the early years. It must be hundreds of years ago."
"Time is running out, do you still miss your hometown?"
"How dare you forget? If you forget the birthplace of your ancestors, wouldn't that mean you have forgotten your roots? Don't you think so?"
Shopkeeper Xie knows how to communicate with people very well, and with a seemingly casual rhetorical question, he tries to take back the initiative in speaking.
"Do you know about Xie Tingsong's disappearance?"
Unexpectedly, Yong Shijing didn't give him this opportunity at all. After a brief exchange of greetings, he already had an idea in his mind and got straight to the point of his visit.
"I know. It's been a few days. He is our boss. I'm asking someone to find out what's going on?"
"Does Xie Liuyun know who it is?"
"This is our young master's house, so he naturally knows it."
"Does he know about your store?"
"I've never seen him here before, and my boss never told me anything about Shaodong's family. Maybe I don't know about it, right?"
Shopkeeper Xie answered, and then asked tentatively.
"In other words, you know Xie Liuyun, but Xie Liuyun may not know you, right?"
"This should be."
"Have you met Xie Liuyun?"
"I've seen it."
"What was the situation like when you met him?"
"The young master's family sometimes walks down this street, and I can recognize him."
"How do you know what he looks like? Don't you admit your mistake?"
"Every five years, my boss will give me a photo of my young boss. I won't admit it."
Yong Shijing nodded and asked this. He understood why when he set off from Anqiu, the "Liuquan Guards" that Yong Ming called did not complete the replacement of the old and the new as smoothly as the other three guards.
The handover process between the old and the new "Liuquanwei" is strange and not smooth. Through the conversation with the shopkeeper Xie just now, he may know some of the reasons.
This may have something to do with Xie Liuyun's own problems, his hobbies, or his personality. Since she has never had any contact with Xie Liuyun, Yong Shijing cannot make a judgment.
But now, through personal communication and understanding of the situation surrounding the Xie Liuyun family, Yong Shijing feels that the Xie family's strength in Tonglu should be well hidden.
Xie Tingsong is a mathematics teacher at Tonglu Middle School. This should be a profession used to conceal his true identity. In fact, Xie Tingsong, the current head of the Xie family, owns more than just a business project of the gold shop in front of him.
Based on Yong Shijing’s experience, Xie Tingsong should have other industrial projects.
Moreover, the scale of this operation is definitely huge, otherwise how could it be hidden from Xie Liuyun? He is the only descendant of the Xie family.
No, thinking of this, Yong Shijing immediately denied her guess.
Xie Liuyun is already an adult and has joined the workforce. It stands to reason that he already possesses the ability to think and distinguish, so it is impossible for him to be unaware of the importance.
Xie Liuyun's father had always concealed his family background and the history of the "Yongwang Guard" from him, and did not even mention a word about the situation of the "Liuquan Guard". He was really too cautious, and could be said to be overly cautious.
In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, Xie Tingsong does not want to tell his son, because he feels that it is not timely.
As a result, before he could explain the true situation of his family to his son, he received a recall order from Yong Ming. Before taking action, he was kidnapped again and his whereabouts are still unknown.
When these things are piled up together, Yong Shijing feels like it's too much of a coincidence?
Although this thought only flashed through her mind, it still frightened Yong Shijing secretly.
I hope this is just a guess on my part and not a fact, otherwise something big will really happen.
Yong Shijing looked at Shopkeeper Xie, then picked up her tea bowl, took a sip, and asked: "Shopkeeper Xie, do people usually live in this shop?"
"No one lives there. After closing at nine o'clock in the evening, the shop assistants all go back to their respective homes."
"Is this gold shop unattended at night? Are you so relieved?"
"After closing, all the gold and silver jewelry placed on the counter will be sealed and stored in the safe in the back hall. The safe in our gold shop is no less than the safe in the bank. It is very safe and has never been compromised.
.”
"No matter how safe the safe is, aren't you afraid that someone will just move it away?"
"Sir, after I heard your attendant say our boss's name, I knew that you must be familiar with our boss and have a special relationship, so I met you.
However, you are now asking about some of our internal matters, which are confidential to our store and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
I dare to verify your identity. It won't be too late for us to talk.
Otherwise, our boss’s whereabouts are unknown, and if something goes wrong again in this store, I don’t know how to explain it to my young boss.”
Listening to Shopkeeper Xie's worries and seeing Shopkeeper Xie's caution, Yong Shijing had a good impression of Shopkeeper Xie.
This is a down-to-earth person who is loyal to his employer. He knows that something is wrong with his employer, but he can still take care of the business calmly and look after the store for his employer. He is indeed a capable person.
"There is a calligraphy in this shop, the content of which is 'The South Tower of Prince Pond is a hundred feet tall, with new trees and sparse curtains in front of the windows. The golden shop front is painted with hooks, and Yu Bao stops and brushes his halberds. Panyulan is facing the high platform.
The luan fan opened near the tent hall. In the early morning, the wild geese screamed and rippled, and the dragons flew back in response to the flowers.'
It might be a banner in the nave, or it might be a banner scroll, or of course it might just be stored in one place and not hung."
Yong Shijing finished reciting Wen Tingyun's "Yongtai Song" calmly and calmly, and then asked shopkeeper Xie about it.
