Chapter 222 Busy Night

"You won't believe it like this." Although Ximen Qing has believed most of it, it is of a matter of great importance. Whether Wu Da left Yanggu or not will directly decide Ximen Qing's next action, so there is no conclusive evidence, which can never be believed.

"My owner, how can I believe it so much? I know it's a matter of life and death, so even if I was scolded as a grandson by the little man, I didn't care about it. After he said that, I asked him, 'You are selling pears on this purple stone street. It's far away from the east of the city. Wuhan University has left the county from the east of the city. How do you know? Do you have thousands of eyes on your crooked head?'" When Wang An spoke, he also had a skin on his face. Ximen Qing felt that it was good to listen to Wang An's story, as if he had seen what happened with his own eyes.

But this gave Ximenqing a strange feeling. He felt as if what Wang An said had been rehearsed in advance, as if the story presented on the stage was perfect. Generally speaking, in such a busy situation, when telling things, will many details be learned? Inertia is omitted, and the order of things may change a little. It seems that Wang An is indeed a good storyteller. If such a person had not worked in a pharmacy, he might have made a lot of money talking on the street.

"Yes, I'm also very strange about this. Since he said so with a nose and eyes, there must be another reason. How did he answer you? Ximen Qing was a little thirsty, but he knew the taste of herbal tea in winter, so he decided to put up with it for a while and wait for Wang An to finish telling the matter. If Wu Da and Wu Song really left Yanggu, it would be better than the best tea to soak Ximen Qing's heart.

"When the pear seller heard my question, he became angry at that time. He said to me: 'When I saw the short winter melon, it was early in the morning of November 16. At that time, it was very open to the shop. To be honest, if pears hadn't been sold at a good price in winter, I wouldn't want to be so early. , come out to sell in the cold wind. Normally, people like dwarf winter melon should still be in bed, so when I look at him, I feel a little confused. In addition, this short wax gourd usually looks at people with his chin, and he doesn't look at him as tall as three pieces of tofu. He is not afraid of breaking his neck when he looks at people with his chin, but when he saw me that day, he was extremely kind and actually nodded to me. This makes me feel more abnormal. Then I found that he carried a big burden on his back, which was bulging. It didn't look like sundries, but all silver ingots. Who do you think normal people would run all over the street in the morning with a big burden of silver ingots? So after he passed by for a while, I thought about it. Anyway, the business was not good in the morning, and I was really unwilling to understand this matter, so I secretly followed him all the way to the edge of the county and saw him out of the city. However, God also took me. On my way back, I sold three pears, which was also a good errand money. As soon as the little guy talked about money, he smiled and gave birth to the greedy. After that, I asked him again: 'I don't know what Wu University is doing at the last minute. What does it have to do with you, a subordinate?' He replied, "If it weren't for my words, he would have been able to go directly out of the city from Guihua Tower and go around to Zishi Street. He must be anxious to go out in the morning. Then why do you think he went around this far?'" Wang Anyan raised his eyebrows and asked Ximen Qing in the tone of the little boy.

"This can only prove that Wu Da did leave the city that day, and it does not prove that he is still in Yanggu." Ximenqing became nervous again, and his right finger knocked on the back of his left hand uneasily. Ximenqing is most worried that the departure of Wuhan University is only a flaw that he deliberately sold, because if the business of Mochouguan is indeed done by Wuda, then the person who is most worried about by Wuhan University should be Ximenqing. There is no reason why Wuhan University does not want to get rid of Ximenqing, and it is undoubtedly stupid to wait for Ximenqing to appear by any means. He pretended first. He released the news that he had left Yanggu. When Ximenqing was complacent, he came out with Wu Song to break through Ximenqing...

Ximenqing felt a chill on his back, as if the cold smile was hanging on the ugly dwarf's face.

"You're right." Wang An said, "This is the reason why I didn't tell you last night. In fact, I think that although this little man is bragging in the narrative, Wuda has absolutely no reason to be afraid of a little man selling pears, but some things are quite credible. For example, Wu Da did pass by Zishi Street and then went out of the city from the east. In addition, he carried a bulging burden on his body. I think it may be just nostalgia for a walk around Purple Street. Then I thought that no matter whether Wuda left the city temporarily or not, he brought a lot of silver on him, which should be inseparable. So last night, after finishing my work in Zishi Street, I rushed to the Osmanthus Building to visit again. Wang An's face had a proud smile. There is no doubt that he should keep this kind of smile, because this kind of incident was not arranged by Ximen Qing, and theoretically, this kind of investigation is also risky. Of course, all this is based on the premise that Wu Da did not leave Yanggu.

" Osmanthus Building? In what capacity did you go there? Ximenqing is very alert to this. The last thing he wants is to scare the snakes and let the people of Guihua Tower know that they are investigating them.

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't mention you." Wang An patted his chest and promised, and then continued, "Do you remember the last time you asked me to go to Guihua Tower to inquire about the matter?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" At that time, Ximen Qing did not explain the situation to Wang An, but with Wang An's shrewd, he should be able to figure it out afterwards.

"After last time, I think it is necessary to make some people in the Guihua Building and keep our eyeliner, so I have a relationship with that guy in private. Of course, I still want to send someone to work in the government office. And I have repeatedly said that even if I can't help, it's good to provide a little information. Under my repeated kindness, the guy also took some of our money, and naturally he was short of people. Last night, I used the name of inking news to visit him. After I found him, I asked him, 'Is Guihualou going to open a branch recently?' Because I think Wuda has brought so much silver. However, as a restaurant like Guihualou, the silver that can be taken out immediately is the running water in the account, and a large bag of silver has to be four or 500 taels. It is estimated that it must be all the flowing water of Guihualou. If Wuda takes away all the running water, guys You should feel something. At least there will be a lot of trouble when you find change for guests. Wang An explained as he spoke.

"It makes sense." Ximenqing nodded, and he had to admit that Wang An thought much more profoundly than him at this point.

"The result is exactly the same as I thought. The guy shook his head and said he didn't know, but recently there was no running water on the account, and even Liu Lin in the account room hasn't appeared for a few days. The guys are discussing whether they will not open the door tomorrow. After all, there is not even a master, and the most trusted Zhang Shu among the clerks will not come out. Now the Osmanthus Building is arranged according to the amount of wages, and the one who makes the most important thing is the cook in the kitchen. The whole osmanthus building can be described as panic. At this point, I basically judged that Wu Da did leave Yanggu and took away all the silver that can be brought in the Osmanthus Building. Wang An spread his hands one by one.

"No, these are inferences. Wang An, these can't be done. What I want is real evidence. These things can't convince me. Ximen Qing shook his head and felt a little angry. He was so confident in the news brought by Wang An, but what Wang An said was like a lie in the air.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. At that time, I thought that if Wu Da left Yanggu, it would have been six and a half days from the morning of November 16 to last night. As Wu Song, it is impossible not to know. We should go to the government office to explore. There are officials and officials who used to make friends with shopkeepers in the government office. When I inquired with them, I found out that Wu Song has not been to the county office since November 16. Now all the work of the county government has stopped, which is the main reason why the matter of Mochouguan has not been followed up. . Then I went back to the Osmanthus Building without stopping. I told the clerk that it was still troublesome to send people to the county government office. Can you trouble the kitchen to make a table of good dishes, and then let me pretend to be the man of the Osmanthus Building and send the food to Wu's house with them. After I gave the guy 30 taels, he agreed to my request. So the kitchen made a night snack without calling anyone else, that is, the two of us went to Wu's house with food boxes. As a result, the doorman didn't let me in. I heard that the man knew the janjan and called him 'Lao Wu Lao Wu', but it was useless. Later, Lao Wu's daughter-in-law came out and accidentally said, 'Madam is not here. Why did you send this? We can't eat it.' Then Lao Wu seemed to pull him inadvertently. After all, that guy and I still couldn't get into the Wu house, but the message that Wu Song's wife is not at home is still a little credible. If Wu Song is out for conscription, there is no reason to take his daughter-in-law with him. What's more, Wu Song's daughter-in-law is not in good health, which is famous in the county and is unlikely to go out easily. So far, the news that Wu Song is not in Yanggu has basically been implemented. Wang An said his own analysis.
