Chapter 158 Failure

"What's strange?" Ximen Qing was excited and walked down from ** to the ground. Then he found that he was not wearing shoes. He hurriedly put his feet in his shoes. Ximen Qing needs these "strange" places, because now he can be said to know nothing about what is happening in front of him.

"The strange thing is the three boxes. I have carefully checked that these three boxes look shabby, but in fact they are just a layer of leather outside, which is a little unreasonable. Of course, I think the strangest thing is the wood of this box. I feel that the weight of this box is lighter than other wood. I was afraid of any mystery, so I split it. It was found that the wood made into a box did not have annual rings. Although it is certain that it is wood, this kind of wood, at least in our state capital, is definitely not available. I even feel that there may not be such thing in the whole Central Plains. If there is, the merchants in the north and south should have some understanding. Such light and strong wood is indeed extremely suitable for transportation. When Wang An spoke, he scratched his head from time to time and saw that he was also very confused.

"Oh." Ximenqing was a little disappointed. The conclusion that this can be reached is only that these three boxes were not built in the Central Plains. This is also the woman's objective explanation of her origin to Ximenqing, which is nothing new.

"My boss, how to deal with this money?" Wang An asked.

"Silver..." Ximen Qing pondered for a moment. Obviously, it was obvious that the silver could not be returned now. He didn't even know where to find this woman. Moreover, when he found the silver, it was hanging a lantern. That is to say, the silver was indeed delivered before he held the lamp, and the lady contracted Nuo has done it, and it is impossible to return the silver now. He can only eat it, and then think about how to fight with Wu Song. However... Ximenqing suddenly flashed a lightning in his mind. Yes, I found the box when I hung the lantern just now. Why didn't I think of this!

"You are fully responsible for collecting 30,000 taels of silver, but don't put it into the account. This is a gift from others, not the money to sell our pharmacy. But Wang An, you are not stupid. When Ximenqing said this, he saw two guys on the left and right and waved his hand to them gently. The two guys agreed and immediately retreated.

"When I saw this silver, I immediately vomited blood. Normally, it was too late for others to give such a large amount of money. How could I vomit blood? To be honest, I don't hide it from you. This silver not only bites your hand, but also kills me. So I also want to say one more thing. If you want to take part of the money, someone will kill you. Ximen Qing stared at Wang An and said almost word by word.

Wang An's expression flashed and said hurriedly, "I understand."

Ximenqing also understood that when he said that he would hand over the 30,000 taels of silver to Wang An for management, Wang An's thoughts must be how to steal part of it, so this kind of words must be explained in advance. Although Ximen Qing also knew that the lady would never care who would spend the money. As long as she sent it to Ximen Qing, even if the merit was perfect, she could use her extreme performance just now to scare Wang An.

"That's all about the silver. Now I have to ask you about the afternoon." Ximenqing sat again** and motioned Wang An to sit on the opposite stool: "Now I can tell you the truth. In the afternoon, I asked you to take off the sign and told you and other guys not to say that this is Ximen Pharmacy, and not to say that Ximen Qing is the owner here. In fact, I was hiding from this money, but I still didn't hide it. At this point, I want you to seriously recall what happened in the afternoon. You should recall it slowly. Don't miss anything. No matter what the details are, I want to hear it. The life-threatening charm has been put down, but I died before I saw the judge's face. That's really a loss. When Ximenqing said this, there was no fear at all. The corners of his mouth bent, revealing a trace of evil smile.

"This afternoon?" Wang An scratched his head and thought about it carefully: "Nothing special happened this afternoon. After you told us, I took them outside to take off the signs, and then went back to the front hall. I was afraid that any of the guys would make mistakes alone, so I stopped all the work at hand and gathered them all. Gather around me, so that we can supervise each other and avoid any problems. Throughout the afternoon, no one came in except for the guy who came back from selling medicine outside. Wang An finished his words and looked at Ximenqing.

"Is there really nothing else?" Ximen Qing was disappointed. He thought that with Wang An's shrewdness and recalling after the accident, he must be able to think of some wrong details.

"No, boss. The main reason is that there was nothing wrong in the afternoon. A group of us stayed like this with big eyes. Within two hours, we didn't drink a sip of water and didn't even go to the hut. There was really no other situation. If anything happens, other people should know. If you don't believe it, you can ask others. After saying that, Wang An spread out his hands and signaled that there was really nothing more to say.

For this reason, Ximen Qing is a little discouraged. Deep in his heart, he really wants to ask the same question again to relieve his inner uneasiness, but Wang An is so sure that nothing special will happen. If he asks the same question again, it will only be futile. On the contrary, it will make Wang An think that he doesn't trust him and sow the seeds of instability. It's not worth the loss.

However, now we can only learn the news from Wang An. Ximen Qing thought about Wang An's words again and suddenly thought of the variables that might appear in it. Wang An and the clerks who were originally in the store will not make any mistakes, but Wang An just said that some clerks came back from selling medicine outside. At this stage, they did not know their own plans. It is possible that someone would stop them outside and ask them. In this way, the place of Ximen Pharmacy will be exposed.

Yes, it must be like this. As long as you ask the guys who came back if there are any strangers to ask them about the Siemens Pharmacy, you will probably know what the woman's subordinates have, at least they want to escape in the case of Wu Song's defeat, and there is more support.

"Did you ask the guy who came back from selling medicine outside? Have they ever been interrogated on the way? It is not convenient for Ximen Qing to take action in person. The owner rarely comes directly to ask the clerk and let Wang An do it more appropriately. This is also an opportunity for him to establish majesty. Ximen Qing expects that Wang An will not refuse. He waited for Wang An to say "no" and then sent him away immediately.

"I asked." This answer was greatly beyond Ximen Qing's expectation. But if Wang An asked, it would be better. Let's see what he said. Our medicine clerks came back very early, and within one hour of your instructions, all the clerks came back. I was afraid that they would be stopped at the door, so I simply opened the front door so that as soon as they appeared, I could greet them in immediately. Then after coming in, I asked everyone if they had been questioned before coming back and whether they had received any answers. I will definitely do a good job in what the host told me. When Wang An answered, his tone revealed that he was proud.

Wang An should indeed be proud. He considered the matter in front of Ximenqing and proved his value. Ximen Qing secretly congratulated himself that he did not tell him about leaving the man when he left, but Wang An did it well. This is a really useful person. However, the key to the problem is that although Wang An did the details he did not tell him, the Ximen Pharmacy was still found by the other party. No matter how perfect the process was, the result was unfavorable to him, and everything would not be helped.

However... although those guys have not been interrogated, they may be followed. You know, when they go out to sell medicine, they will definitely play the signboard of Ximen Pharmacy. In this way, if they are interested, they can easily follow them and find Ximen Pharmacy.

Wait... Ximen Qing patted his head and shouted "Ah". He suddenly thought that the things he had done to pick the signs and tell the clerk were completely redundant and useless. The woman only needed to arrange someone to follow her when she left the Xijiang Tea House to find where the Ximen Pharmacy was. This is the most basic attempt. Even if you don't go back to the Siemens pharmacy, you can still know your footing point. How can you not find yourself? It was not easy to notice the people coming and going on the West Street. In addition, on the way back, all I was thinking about silver. At that time, I was immersed in the joy of getting the unexpected wealth. I didn't think of the danger brought by the silver at all, so I went straight into the Ximen Pharmacy.

The stupidest thing is that you can actually come up with a stupid way to take off the sign so that the other party can't find yourself, just like a child hiding in front of adults. It's stupid and ridiculous. The woman is laughing secretly now. Ximen Qing thought of this and hit himself on the head fiercely.

"What's wrong, boss?" Wang An asked in a hurry.

Ximen Qing sensed the gaffe, so he immediately eased down. Oh, it doesn't matter. I just remembered something. You don't have to recall what happened in the afternoon. I already understand what's going on. This answer will definitely make Wang An admire himself, but what's the use of Wang An's admiration?

Now there is no need to think about how the lady found her. It seems that the person she was watching has been staring at her and walked into the West Gate Pharmacy. After that, she saw herself in the backyard, watching herself burn fire folds, getting into the cellar, and then picking up the burned fire folds that she threw away casually, and finally Put it in a box containing silver.

Alas, Ximenqing, Ximenqing, you are really stupid. Your proud plan is completely displayed under the other party's eyes. Everything is just futile.

Ximenqing thought about the whole process of things. He was proud in the cellar, missed his father, and that kind of patience for the cold. How ridiculous it was to calculate the number of pulses. The other party had put the silver in the backyard and waited for him to climb out and found the three boxes, thinking that he would calculate. People didn't expect that what they really don't care about is themselves.

This ability to control the plot, fighting with Wu Song, will definitely end up dead. Like those living corpses, his body will be cut to pieces, and then how will Wu Song deal with himself? Throw it outside Yanggu County to feed those wild wolves and dogs? It will still burn into ashes and nourish the flowers and plants in his yard to please his beautiful wife. After all, spring is coming, and those delicate flowers also need fertilizer.

Ximenqing thought about these things sadly, and then he gradually realized that something was wrong. In the first half, there should be no problem with my own speculation, but in the second half, isn't it too coincidental? I was in the cellar and forgot the number of pulses before I climbed out. Then I happened to see the guy who came out to light the lamp and found the three boxes. What if you stay under the cellar for a while?

When I climbed up, it may have been dinner time, and it has passed the palm lamp. Even if I find the box again, I can't prove that the box was delivered in front of the palm lamp. I can tell the woman that she breached the contract first and her money was not delivered on time, so I can put the money. Go back and forget all the words you want to fight with Wu Song.

How can this woman grasp the time I walked out of the cellar? Can she have any spells that can make me accidentally forget the number being calculated at that time? No, absolutely not. If she really has such ability, she can directly manipulate my thinking. How can it be so troublesome? Why don't you spend any money? Just let me go to Wu Song and die.

If you think so, the woman can't manipulate the time for me to walk out of the cellar. She just put the box there in advance and wait for me to find out. Of course, three boxes appeared in the backyard, which will be discovered sooner or later, but the difficulty of the problem lies in that time.

Ximenqing felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. He tried to make another assumption, that is, if he stayed in the cellar tonight and did not come out until the next morning, he climbed out of it because of hunger and cold. In that case, how would things go?

Few people usually come to the backyard. If these three boxes must be found, then they can only be found by the man who hangs the lantern! Ximenqing grasped the key point of the problem and continued to think about it excitedly. If the box was found by the clerk, he would definitely be as confused as himself, and then he would open the box and see white silver inside. The amount of these three boxes of silver is too huge. No one dares to swallow it privately. The guy will definitely tell Wang An about the matter, and Wang An will ask someone to carry the box into the room to count.

Then, careful Wang An, in addition to the smooth ingots and the wood used to make the box, will also find a special place, that is, there is a burned fire fold in the box. With Wang An's character, he will put away the fire fold, and then Wait for me to come back and tell me about it.

The next morning, when I got out of the cellar, I would definitely ask Wang An if nothing strange had happened. Wang An would tell me that silver appeared in the backyard, which was found when the clerk went out to hang the lantern. In this way, invisibly, the time was determined here, and the appearance of the box must be in the palm of the lamp. Before. And when I saw the burned fire fold, I would immediately notice that when I entered the cellar, it was actually monitored, and the other party deliberately left the fire fold in the box to laugh at his ridiculous stupidity.

Yes, this is also a complete scheme, and it is more reasonable. Ximen Qing smoothed the joints and restored the way things should have developed. This must be what the woman planned. It was only when I forgot the number of pulses in the cold and walked out of the cellar in advance that the trajectory of things changed slightly, but on the whole, it still did not exceed the other party's calculation.

In order to ensure that the box placed in the backyard in advance, it must be found when the lamp is in charge, which must meet the two most basic conditions.

1, you must know that someone will hang the lantern at this time.

"Wang An, why did you send that guy to hang lanterns in the backyard when it's so important as this afternoon?" Ximen Qing asked his own doubtful questions.

"I saw that the shops on the West Street are holding lights. It's really not good-looking. In addition, I guess where you should be hiding. Seeing that we are also holding the lights, I know that it is now a safe time and you can come back. So I told the guys to hold the lamp. As for hanging lanterns in the backyard, to be honest, I didn't know what I needed to hang them before, because I have hardly been there. I think that guy went according to his usual habits. Wang An answered while scratching his forehead with his fingers.

Sure enough, the fox's tail was exposed. Ximen Qing clearly remembers that the man who was slapped by himself and told himself was that Wang An sent him out to hang the lantern, which made a little mistake with Wang An's description. Although it was very different, at least this was the only thing that should be doubtful about what happened this afternoon.

2. Make sure that you can see these three boxes when hanging lanterns.

Three old boxes would never have been found if they were not highly nervous and coincidental. When a man completes his daily work, he will never be so careful. Then how can the lady be sure that the clerk of Ximen Pharmacy will be so sharp tonight?

Is it...
