He slowly returned to Yunshangfang. He was very afraid of being at the doorman, so he was stopped and said that Liu Qiye would not let him come back. However, the doorman Lao Li still greeted him with a smile: "Little Linzi, are you back? Where have you been? I can't call you just after dinner. Go ahead, the meal is still cold!"
He nodded uncomfortably and walked in.
Standing in the courtyard was the newly recruited shopkeeper, walking outside, and when he saw Lin Pingmo, he shouted, "Xiao Linzi, Qi Ye will go out tomorrow. Remember to follow the car. You don't need to follow the night shift recently."
Lin Pingmo was taken aback, and the shopkeeper nodded towards him as he walked out, "Have a good job, there is a future!"
It turned out to be some approval, Lin Ping was dumbfounded.
When he came back to his senses, he walked to the kitchen at the back, and met the guys and family members. When they saw him, they were still the same as before. Someone called him Xiaolinzi, some called him Lin Pingmo, the back kitchen. The guy here also enthusiastically handed him a bowl full of food: "Just gave you the one that was hot in the pot, eat it while it's hot!"
After finishing talking, he put him on a table. After he sat down, he saw that there was a table across the table, where Liu Qiqiao was burying his head to eat.
A figure from the back, he stayed for a while, did not dare to speak for a long time, just ate his own meal.
He saw a few buddies leaning on Liu Qiqiao's table, talking to the funny things that happened in the store today. The situation was the same as before. Lin Pingmo slowly felt relieved, and looked at Liu Qiqiao's back quietly, occasionally seeing her turning her face to talk to the guys, with a faint smile on her face. , Lin Pingmo slowly let go of his heart.
Liu Qiqiao finished eating first, she stood up and said to the boys: "Thanks for your hard work today, continue tomorrow!"
Then she turned around and looked at Lin Pingmo suddenly, her originally smiling face was startled, and then she showed a smiling face and walked over by herself.
Lin Pingmo saw Liu Qiqiao passing through his table. What he wanted to say, "Seven Masters!" As soon as these two words came out, people walked over, and the rest of the words stayed in his stomach. Seeing the guys who were scattered and walking away, no one was suspicious of him, so he relieved himself and continued to bury his head and eat.
The next day, Liu Qiqiao was awakened by a knock on the door before she waited. She was taken aback, put on her clothes, and asked: "Who?"
I heard a guy outside say: "The Seventh Master is me, a guy from Yuluo Fang came over and said that Yuluo Fang was stolen yesterday!"
"What?" Liu Qiqiao was startled, she was busy opening the door, "When is the matter, people?"
Standing down the corridor, a man who looked like a man, folded his hands and said: "Here, Master Qi, it should have happened in the middle of the night yesterday. Today, the man who got up early went to open the door of the store, and found that the door was trivial, and he knew it was not good. Sure enough, it turned out to be messy... Obviously it was a thief!"
"A thief?" Liu Qiqiao has been taking care of these stores for so long, and this is the first time she has experienced such a thing. While putting on her clothes, she said, "What are all missing?"
"Hui Qiye, I still don’t know what I lost. The culprit turned the contents of the counter on the fourth floor into a mess. It is estimated that he was looking for a box for storing money, but because the money box was always carried by the accountant, There are only some scattered money on the counter. I don’t know what exactly was lost. We have also called the shopkeeper. We have to wait for the accountant to check with the shopkeeper before we know how many things are missing!” The boy said .
"This... Do you want to report to the official?" Liu Qiqiao was also a little confused. At this time, the front store opened the door, Yuan Qiluo also walked in, and said as he walked, "I just heard about it, Qiye, I Come with you, Yuanzi, you can report to the official, and you have to report to the official. Although you may not get it back, there is also a record. If you catch the thief in the future, you may be able to get some back!"
Listening to Yuan Qiluo's words, Liu Qiqiao calmed down a bit, and the young man was busy going to the Yamen to report to the officials. Liu Qiqiao and Yuan Qiluo walked towards Yuluofang, because they were not far away, they didn't call a car or a sedan.
The two walked for a while and arrived.
When they arrived, on the other side, that Yuanzi also arrived with two officials.
The shopkeeper asked them to go upstairs together. Sure enough, from the first floor to the fourth floor, the things in the counter were messy, all kinds of account books were scattered everywhere, and a few prose money fell on the ground.
The officer looked at the counter, and then at the doorway. It turned out that someone unscrewed it with bare hands: "The skill is good. We can't unscrew it. If you use a saw, it will take a while. But, look at this. Fracture is a raw break! It's a pity to be a thief with this skill!"
Another officer found a footprint on a dropped cloth head under the counter. He murmured: "Look at the footprints. This shoe is big enough. This person is at least a strong man who is one foot tall and two kilometers away..."
Liu Qiqiao listened to the two characteristics they calculated, and I didn't know why, but suddenly there was a vague person in his heart, Qiu Zhentian! Among all the people she knew, he was very special. One was a burly figure, and the other was powerful and possessing special skills.
At this moment, the accountants gathered together and cleared the copper coins. They hesitated, and even more strange, they said to Liu Qiqiao, "Qiye, there seems to be a lot of money. !"
"What?" Liu Qiqiao was stunned, and the shopkeeper said strangely on the side: "I just asked the guys to order the goods upstairs and downstairs, and it turned out not bad..."
This time not only Liu Qiqiao, but even the officials were surprised: "It's not that you missed something. He came in and didn't steal anything. What did he do with that effort?"
"I didn't really lose anything. Look, I was negligent yesterday. The three taels of silver I collected in the evening were all in the counter, and he didn't take it..." said the accountant on the second floor.
"This is weird. What is there that the thief is here to do? What else are you missing? What about other important things?" the officer asked.
The shopkeeper said: "Apart from goods and money, there is nothing else valuable?"
"Then there is nothing less?" The official clerk was a bit strange, but at the same time he was relieved and took the case early in the morning. If it's okay, of course it's best.
"Well, this isn't a big deal, it's just weird, one page is missing in this account book!" said one accountant holding up a notebook that looked young.
"What's missing?" The officer's eyes lit up immediately.
"I don't know what it is, but what is recorded here is the size or address when making clothes for the guests, and there is nothing special. These books are usually cleared every five years. This should be four years ago. You Look, the thirty-sixth year of Dayu's reign..." said the accountant.
The officer looked left and right, but could not see the mystery, so he gave up, handed it to Liu Qiqiao, smiled and said, "Qiye, you see, you haven’t lost any important things in the store, I think, this is also true. It’s not a case, we’ll sprinkle it first. If something happens, you will send a buddy to call us!"
Liu Qiqiao was busy handing over the two of them, talking hard.
When I came back, I saw Yuan Qiluo was holding the account book from four years ago, carefully predicting it.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Liu Qiqiao looked at the account book. She couldn't see anything. It was just a book in the format used by the Shen family. Because of the long time, the ink of the handwriting It has faded a bit. Other than that, it is no different from other account books.
Yuan Qiluo repeatedly turned over the missing page, still whispering: "May 15th is the Dragon Boat Festival, four years ago... Qiqiao, when I think about it, no wonder I feel strange!"
She grabbed Liu Qiqiao's arm, but Liu Qiqiao was taken aback: "Sister Yuan, what did you find?"
"Oh my God, Qiqiao, if I didn't know that it was not you, I would have suspected that it was your prank..." Yuan Qiluo said.
"Sister Yuan, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with me!" Liu Qiqiao asked in surprise.
"Oh, haha, you asked me what the twelfth prince did that day, An Jieyu, do you remember?" Yuan Qiluo asked.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Liu Qiqiao remembered, and then a little strange: "But does it have anything to do with today?"
"I just looked at the date, and I felt strange. I always felt that I was up against something. Then I suddenly remembered. Do you still remember? I told you that a court lady next to An Jieyu left the palace, four years later. The one who came here to make shrouds is called Ni Jinhua!" Yuan Qiluo said.
"Oh, I remember... Could it be... This is..." Liu Qiqiao said incredulously.
Yuan Qiluo nodded vigorously: "That's right, this page should be Ni Jinhua's bill, with her name, size and address on it... I still remember you were curious, if you didn't know it wasn't you, I really thought it was you I pulled it away curiously~"
Liu Qiqiao was startled, "It's not me!"
Yuan Qiluo took a picture of her: "Of course I know it's not you, silly sister!" But she quickly said strangely: "But, who did it? What's important, even money and cloth? No, just steal a piece of waste paper. I can't figure it out or not..."
However, Liu Qiqiao recalled the scene that day, remembering Lin Pingmo's hateful eyes under the moonlight, and the broken flute in his hand, "Sister Yuan, can't you remember it wrong?"
Yuan Qiluo shook her head: "No, I remember that it was the Dragon Boat Festival that day, and we had rice dumplings in our store. Anyone who passed by was fine. The old lady wanted a few more. I would like to pack more for her. She also pointed to her teeth and said that my teeth are almost lost. These are just a solution to the greed. She also said that the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace is so lively and what programs are there, I remember clearly, so , I just thought of it just after I watched it!"
