Chapter 52 Pawnshop Slowly Looking for People
"Jade, is what you said true?" Shan Baoqian grabbed the emerald's arms and stared at her with burning eyes.
Feicui ran eagerly. At this moment, as soon as he stopped, he could only keep gasping. Hearing Shan Baoqian's question, he hurriedly nodded hard. "Well, really, really, it was the pawnshop owner who told me that he also let me see the lady's clothes there. I recognized it. It was indeed taken out of the burden of the second young master. The purple brocade robe is right.
"So, has Yuan Baomei really escaped safely?" With his eyes lowered and thought about it, Shan Baoqian let go of his hand holding the emerald's shoulder, and his voice couldn't hide his joy. "Where is that pawnshop? Take me to have a look."
"Yes."
The master and servant reached a consensus and went out to find a witness without saying a word.
Hong Jiu, who was left in the room, crossed his legs and smashed his mouth. He calmly picked up the teapot and poured all the tea inside into the only potted plant in the room. Then he put the empty teapot on the table, opened the door and shouted down boldly, "Xiao Er, send me ten jars of good wine."
"Hey hey, finally there is no need to drink tea. It's like bad water. It doesn't taste at all. I really don't know what's good..." He said to himself. Hong Jiu threw the rest of the tea from the cup on the ground with disgust. He patted the mud of the wine jar and took a deep breath in the mouth of the altar with an intoxicated face. "It's still the taste of wine."
"Boss, are you sure this person came with clothes at that time?" Sitting in a pawnshop called Youdangwu, Shan Baoqian sat in a chair, blew the hot air with the tea cup, and motioned the emerald behind him to take out the portrait of Shan Xiaowu.
The pawnshop owner is an old man in his sixties. He took the portrait and studied it carefully for a long time and nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, it's this person, that's this person. Although he dresses differently, his face is indeed exactly the same. I can be sure that this person is right."
Shan Baoqian put down the teacup and frowned slightly. "Do you remember which direction did this person go after leaving?"
"Let me think about it," the pawnshop owner asked about his tricks. The two muttered for a while and then turned to Shan Baoqian's direction. "This young man, if we both remember correctly, the man in pawn clothes went to the Rongsheng Restaurant in the east of the street. My fellow stood at the door and watched him enter the door with his own eyes. After that, I don't know.
"Real?" Shan Baoqian lowered his eyes and answered, reached out to tidy up the hem of the wrinkled clothes, and then stood up. "In this case, jade, let's go to Rongsheng Restaurant next."
"Thank you very much for the news from the boss."
"You're welcome."
Shanbao opened the fan and took a big step to take the lead in going out, "Jade, let's go."
"Yes," Feicui followed him and took two steps, but suddenly turned around and looked at the clothes held by the pawnbro owner in his hand. "Second young master, that suit..."
Shan Baoqian turned his head and looked at it, and his face immediately turned ugly. "Boss, this dress was stolen by my servants in my house. As evidence, I'm going to take this dress back. Please do me a favor."
"Ah?" The store owner was immediately dumbfounded, "But, but, my son, I spent ten taels of silver..."
"Boss," Shan Baoqian slowly cut off his words and explained very seriously, "This person who gave you clothes has stolen a lot of valuable things in my house in recent years. This time, I found that I was afraid of absconding. I have asked the government to intervene in the investigation, and the county magistrate is also strongly approved. I believe there will be People come to collect evidence. If you let him know the boss at that time, your store specializes in collecting and selling pawn stolen goods..."
The implication is that there is no need for Shan Baoqian to say that the old pawnshop owner also immediately realized the benefits. Although the meat hurts the ten taels of silver, he still sent the clothes out for the sake of peace in the future. "This dress is returned to the prince. The shop is a small profit, and I hope that the prince is in front of the county magistrate. A few good words before, don't ruin the reputation of my century-old store.
"That's natural," he motioned Feicui to take over the clothes. The expression on Shan Baoqian's face was open and honest, and there was no way to blackmail others with the guilt. "The boss is so reasonable that I will definitely make it clear to the old man of the county. I will never involve the boss, so as not to lose a shadow. It has resounded the reputation of your century-old store.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Thank you very much." Obviously, he was heartbroken, but when the shopkeeper heard this, he had to thank Shan Baoqian.
"Thank you. I'll say goodbye first."
"Emerald, take the stolen goods, and let's find the next evidence."
He calmly opened the paper fan and shook it. Shan Baoqian turned around and deliberately told the jadeite, and he took the lead in stepping out of the threshold.
"Yes, second young master."
When he went out of the door and went far away, Feicui looked back and saw that the pawnshop owner did not follow him. He thought that he was worried about the ten taels of silver, so he smiled and came to Shan Baoqian and looked at him admiringly, "Second young master, you are so awesome. You don't have to pay any money to get the things back."
Shan Baoqian raised his eyebrows and looked at the jadeite. "Of course, I won't look at who you are."
As the two were talking, they soon arrived at the inn mentioned by the pawnshop owner. Shan Baoqian looked up at the high plaque, raised his eyebrows slightly, walked into the door, and sat down in a corner where there were fewer people. The jadeite stood behind him step by step.
"Son, what would you like to order? The shop has everything, including food, drinks, snacks and snacks.
Seeing that both of them were dressed in noble clothes, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper turned around with a kettle and quickly poured tea for Shan Baoqian. On the other hand, he quickly untied the cloth towel on his shoulder and quickly wiped it on the table a few times.
"Just two small dishes and a pot of wine." Shan Baoqian shook his fan and said lightly, "Don't be too hot."
"Yes, come right now, come right away." Dian Xiaoer nodded and bowed again. He was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped again by Feicui, who received the sign of Shan Baoqian's eyes.
"Little second brother, wait a minute. I also want to ask you something," he took out the portrait of Shan Xiaowu from his arms, and Feicui raised it in front of the store's second brother. "I want to ask my little brother, do you know the person on this portrait?"
"Well, let me see, this man is quite familiar," Xiaoer touched his chin with his hand and frowned and looked at the ink painting.
"Is it familiar? Could you please think about it? When did you see him?
"Ah! That's right!" The shopkeeper's high-five gave Feicui such a hint. After looking at the portrait carefully, he immediately remembered, "I've seen this man. He had eaten in our restaurant the other day. I remember that he ordered a lot of meals alone, and finally ate them all, as if he had been hungry for a long time. Finally, he asked me to find a driver for him and said I'm going to rush back to Jinling City and leave on the same day. It should be there now.
"Second young master, so, little... the fifth young master has now arrived in Jinling City safely?" Feicui was so happy that she almost threw out the portrait in her hand. As long as the young lady is fine, as long as she is fine.
"Well, she's fine. She took the bus back. We are so tired that we have a good time here." Even if she is so happy that she is about to jump to the sky, Shan Baoqian insists up and complains, "When she arrives in Jinling City, she won't send a message to inform me. When she goes back, she will look good."
Knowing that Shan Xiaowu is safe and sound, in fact, he is happier than anyone else, but at this moment, sitting in the inn makes him a little embarrassed.
Feicui grew up in Shanfu. In addition to following Shan Xiaowu, she often comes into contact with Shan Baoqian. There is no way that she doesn't understand the personality of his knife mouth and tofu heart. However, she is also happy now. She has been grinning behind her ears. For the time being, she won't say eight taels. "Since I know that the young lady has gone back, then the second young master Let's set off immediately to meet the young lady, so as not to let the young lady wait for a long time.
"Don't be in such a hurry," he closed the folding fan and put it on the table. Shan Baoqian slowly poured himself a cup of hot tea. Anyway, now Shan Xiaowu is no longer in danger, and he can relax. "Sit down. It's hard for you to find someone these days. After dinner first, tell Brother Hong later, and we'll go."
"Thank you, young master." When he said this, Feicui really felt hungry. She had been following Shan Xiaowu for a long time, and she rarely had to abide by the rule that slaves had to sit at the same table with her master. At this moment, when she heard Shan Baoqian's invitation, she was naturally happy to collect the portrait and sat down next to her.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me," Shan Baoqian slowly and orderly dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and calculated solemnly, "The meal money is a total of one, two or twenty-eight yuan, and one person will bear half of it. I will deduct it from your monthly money when I go back."
"...pop." The vegetable heart that the jade had just caught in her mouth went to the earth with her chopsticks.
Well, she knew that there is no second young master in the world who would have a free lunch. As the young master said, the second young master is a money man who desperately asks for money. If he doesn't settle accounts for a day, he will be uncomfortable all day. I don't know if he will be merciful if he doesn't eat it now?
Shan Baoqian saw her hesitation, so he added leisurely, "You have just touched the food. Don't expect the second young master that I didn't see it."
"..." Well, it's her who is simple.
After sitting bitterly for a long time, when the shopkeeper finished all the dishes, Feicui swept the clouds under Shan Baoqian's surprised gaze, like a refugee who had been hungry for dozens of days, stuffed everything he could eat into his stomach and almost supported himself to death. Anyway, he paid for it by himself and didn't eat it back. It's a loss - it's taught by Shan Xiaowu.
After drinking tea and paying for the meal, the master and servant set off and rushed back to the inn.
Hong Jiu knew that Shan Xiaowu was indeed safe and returned to Jinling City and was also happy for Shan Baoqian. At that moment, he shouted a few jars of wine and pulled Shan Baoqian and insisted that he would not get drunk.
Shan Baoqian was anxious to go back to Jinling City. Naturally, he declined after a few sips, which made Hong Jiuhaosheng complain. However, when Shan Baoqian promised that all the wine he drank today was counted on his account, Hong Jiu immediately became happy again - speaking, he was also very happy in addition to watching other people change their faces. Take advantage of others, so you know.
He drank three jars of aged flower carvings like boiling water in a row. Hong Jiu was still not blushing and breathless. Before climbing on the horse, he even ordered the shopkeeper to put several kilograms of yellow rice wine in the wine gourd. He said that he wanted to take him on the road to quench his thirst. He looked at the stingy Shan Baoqian for a burst of meatache. Nima knew that he didn't want it just now. He promised to pay the bill for him, and now he has to pay dozens of taels. It's a loss!
"Xiao Wu, take the kitchen knife and sauce. We're going to get in."
Outside the back door of Tiancheng Martial Arts Hall, Chef Hua jumped down from the slop-board car, carrying a burden in his hand, and motioned Shan Xiaowu to get out of the car quickly and take everything.
"I'm coming," hide the laxative specially bought last night. Shan Xiaowu laughed twice, sorted out his hat and clothes, picked up the wooden box that had been sorted out and put aside, and followed Chef Hua's fat body all the way down as a qualified helper.
Because he came to be a backstage chef, pedestrians and other chefs were arranged to entertain at the back door. As for the door with red and green lights, it was used to entertain bigwigs, and it was not their turn to step on it.
After checking the results from the back door guard, Shan Xiaowu looked up at the huge courtyard and squinted and sneered in his heart.
Xiao Tiancheng, wait for me to deal with you.
