Chapter 112 Seal
Chapter 112 Seal
"It's just..." Tao Xin became more and more nervous when she said this, and her voice became very soft.
Shen Qiu stared at Tao Xin closely, "Just what?"
"It's just that a few days ago, a man suddenly came and went straight to the madam, offering us a large sum of money to keep us quiet."
Tao Xin said in a low voice, not daring to look at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu opened his eyes wide in surprise. Gold? !
But he immediately regained his senses and asked, "Why did you tell me?"
Tao Xin's eyelashes trembled, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, "Because the madam directly embezzled all the gold and didn't buy me a share at all! Why should I keep it a secret for her?!"
"And I will only tell you, Master. As long as you don't reveal me to others, no one else will know."
No wonder, if Tao Xin had been given the gold, he would probably have told the madam directly today. Fortunately, the madam was very greedy, otherwise he would have been in trouble today!
"Did you see what that man looked like?"
This is an important clue!
Tao Xin shook her head. "He was wearing a bamboo hat, and the madam was very wary of us and wouldn't let us get close. I only knew that he was a man."
Shen Qiu lowered his eyes in disappointment and said calmly, "You can take this silver, but don't sell my business again!"
"Otherwise..." He glanced at her coldly.
Seeing Tao Xin trembling, Shen Qiu retracted his expression with satisfaction, opened the door and left.
He learned it secretly from the young lady, and it was really intimidating!
If he didn't warn Tao Xin, she might sell his information to the brothel owner, which was not acceptable, so Shen Qiu was just trying to scare her.
Well, now that the Qunfang Pavilion has investigated, Yuping has not talked to other people and has always stayed alone in the room for a while, so this place is a decoy.
The next place to go is Fuquanlou. He hasn’t had dinner yet, so they can go there for a meal.
Shen Qiu walked into Fuquanlou with natural movements, and threw the silver in his hand to the waiter smoothly, "Waiter, give me something to eat!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
Shen Qiu's current money comes from his clothes. He is so rich now, how could he go out with just a purse?
It feels so good to be rich!
Of course, he couldn't forget the important things. Shen Qiu observed the people around him with his peripheral vision. It was now dinner time and the Fuquan Building was packed.
So I can only ask the guy just now, but...
What if this place is like the brothel just now and someone has kept it secret?
Coincidentally, the diners next door were discussing which dish was the best in this restaurant. One of them said that he came here every day and he almost knew it by heart!
Shen Qiu's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Isn't the clue here?
He slowly ate the food brought by the waiter, and he had to admit that it tasted much better than what he cooked at home!
No one knows how painful it is to lock yourself in the yard!
He was in a state of panic all day long, worried every day, and couldn't eat. When he came out, he had lost a lot of weight!
Shen Qiu picked up the bowl and started eating. No one else noticed him at first. They thought, why did he eat so ugly when he was wearing such expensive clothes?
Gradually, more and more eyes were cast towards Shen Qiu.
Bathed in the surprised gaze, Shen Qiu ordered three more bowls of rice, not to mention the dishes he had eaten!
This must be because he is very hungry!
How pitiful.
When Shen Qiu finished his meal, he looked up and found that the people around his table were looking at him with pity.
Shen Qiu:?
What happened to them?
Shen Qiu looked down at himself in confusion. Is there anything wrong with him?
When he raised his head again, those people had already withdrawn their gazes, which made Shen Qiu even more confused.
He was eating peacefully, why were they staring at him? Did they find out why he came here?!
But that's impossible, he hasn't done anything yet!
Shen Qiu lowered his head in confusion, waiting for his opportunity.
Finally, the people at the next table finished their meal and were walking out. Shen Qiu also pretended to have finished his meal and was leaving, following behind them.
At the door, the men separated.
Shen Qiu followed the man who said he came here to eat every day, until they reached the corner, he called out to the man.
"uncle!"
The uncle turned back in confusion, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes, "Young man, you called me?"
It was a quiet night and he just happened to walk to the corner. Suddenly someone called him from behind. If he didn't become alert, he would be a fool!
Shen Qiu nodded harmlessly, and asked shyly, "I heard that uncle often goes to Fuquan Building, so I want to ask uncle to find someone."
The uncle gradually let down his guard and teased in a friendly manner: "Someone you like?"
Shen Qiu lowered his head, the night covering up the embarrassment on his face, and he responded vaguely, "...Have you seen a woman wearing a pearl hairpin on her head? She often goes to Fuquanlou."
The uncle thought about it carefully and realized that there really was such a person. The remaining vigilance in his heart slowly dissipated.
"Oh, I remember! That woman came here often, but..." The uncle hesitated, not knowing whether he should say the following words.
"But?" Shen Qiu asked softly, with a hint of inducement in his tone.
At this moment, Shen Qiu's expression and tone were very similar to Mu Tangxi.
There are always people who want to imitate those who are powerful and can control their own lives, as if by imitating them, they will also become powerful people.
The powerful here includes but is not limited to power.
The uncle gritted his teeth and told it out loud. After all, he couldn't let the young man stay in the dark.
"That woman often comes to Fuquan Building, and she comes with a man!"
Shen Qiu had a smile on his face. He was lucky today. He actually found the clue in the second place!
He lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Ah? Uncle, can you tell me what that man looks like? Maybe he is her eldest brother!"
The uncle's eyes were full of sympathy. He had said this much, and this young man would not turn back until he hit the wall.
"That man is dressed better than the woman you found," the uncle reminded implicitly. It was obvious that this woman found a rich man.
"However, the man was dressed like a servant of a wealthy family. He wore black clothes and seemed to have a black mole on the side of his neck." The uncle scratched his head and tried hard to recall some memories.
Shen Qiu lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "Then I'll leave first."
Then he ran away and soon disappeared from the uncle's sight.
The uncle sighed slightly, shook his head and walked away.
Little did he know that Shen Qiu couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and left quickly because he was afraid of being exposed in front of the uncle.
Isn’t this the key information?
However, the following two places still need to be checked.
What if that Yuping has several masters?
Therefore, in order to ensure the reliability and authenticity of the information, the last two must also be checked!
