She calmed down and told herself to stay calm.

If something was really discovered about the carriage, Shopkeeper Qian would not be standing here peacefully, at least not with the current expression, and the Tang family might have been arrested overnight.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Qian smiled and told the reason.

"After sending Miss Tang back yesterday, my master regretted it and said that it would be enough to send someone to send the Silver Needle back, and that Miss Tang should be left to have dinner, and by the way, he could talk about the leasing method.

No, the more my master thought about it, the more interested he became, and he took me to discuss it until midnight. The young man was in good health, but it was a pain for me, an elderly person. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were still closed. ! "

Seeing that Qian Wang's expression was fair and his eyes were indeed filled with red bloodshot eyes, Yunling smiled and said, "I'm here right now, isn't it?"

He raised the oil paper bag in his hand and said, "Since Mr. Qinglan is interested in this leasing method, it's the best, and it's not in vain. I was afraid that I couldn't explain this sentence clearly, so I stayed up for half a night and wrote down these thoughts. ."

Qian Wang stretched out his hand to take it, but Yunling took a step back and quickly put the things in his hands back, "Where is your master? Could it be that he stayed up all night and can't get up today?"

Seeing that she seemed to really want to find his master, Qian Wang slapped his forehead and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? My master was invited to discuss matters by the master of the county early in the morning. He said that it was the Lotus Festival tomorrow, and the shops in the county We all have a responsibility to contribute to the safety of our county.”

He sighed and said, "I don't know how much money Ming Cui Lou will be asked to spend this time."

After speaking, he seemed to realize his gaffe, and he forced out a smile and said: "After the discussion over there, we will have a banquet in the restaurant. My master may not be able to come back in the morning. Why don't you go back first and wait for my master?" I'm back, shall I inform the girl again?"

His eyes fell on the oil paper bag in Yunling's hand, feeling a little regretful.

Hey, if the master is here, he might be able to take a look inside now.

Yunling also showed some regrets and asked: "It is said that some kind of gangster has come to Xinzi County. Yesterday, a group of government officials went to Nanfeng Inn to search. It made us all uneasy in the middle of the night. Mr. Qinglan was arrested by the county government. Please go, maybe you will hear about this."

Qian Wang was surprised, "So the government officials came to the inn where Miss Tang lived? Our store came before it opened today, but our master is familiar with the people from the county government, so they were quite polite and took a brief look. Just look and leave.”

Even so, he still gave me tea money as usual.

Oh, I feel bad.

Yunling shook the oil paper bag in her hand and handed it to Qian Wang, "Then give this to shopkeeper Qian for safekeeping first. I just finished writing it yesterday, and the government officials came to look for it and almost tore it into pieces. , it was only because I held on desperately that I didn’t break it. I don’t know if they will come again tonight, so it’s safer to leave it here in Mingcui Building.”

"The left and right are also going to be handed over to your young master. When he comes back, I'll ask shopkeeper Qian to hand them over to me, which will save me another trip. As for the rest, wait until I come to return the silver needle!"

Yunling really felt a little sorry.

Her original intention was to sell the "plan" to Fang Zhilan and get some money back immediately, so that she could use the money to prepare some things for Zhou Qiong to leave.

Although Fang Zhilan is a businessman, he is not that kind of profiteer. Receiving this plan should not make her work in vain, and she will definitely get a good price.

She actually wanted to make good friends, and she didn't want to be a mercenary person. When people asked her to befriend her politely, she only wanted to make money and was obsessed with money. Unfortunately, the current situation didn't allow it.

Poverty is the original sin.

Forget it, why not be more generous and leave the things behind? If Fang Zhilan has his heart, he will express it.

......

Fang Zhilan didn't know what happened in Mingcui Tower.

Originally, when he came to the county government to discuss these matters, it would be fine for shopkeeper Qian to come forward, but he couldn't bear that Qian Wang had to stay up for half the night and come to the county government today to deal with it, so he came over in person.

The Lotus Festival has indeed made the shop's business better, but in the end these profits are not distributed to the county government, but to officials in the county government who find various ways to ask for money.

He hates these, but he has to make excuses with them. Who makes him just a businessman now!

"Mr. Qinglan, the county has not been peaceful these days. Therefore, during the Lotus Festival tomorrow, our county will have to send extra personnel to protect the safety along the river. Your store has been doing well recently, so I will also send extra personnel to your Ming Cui Lou. If you look around, you can get there early if something happens."

Fang Zhilan cupped his hands and said, "Fang thanked Mr. Zheng in advance. My name, Ming Cui Lou, has been running smoothly in Xinzi County for many years, and it is all thanks to you all. This time during the Lotus Festival, you all are even harder and busier than before. When Fang saw this, he felt extremely grateful in his heart."

Looking at the twinkling light in the other party's eyes, Fang Zhilan put away his fan and said loudly: "The Lotus Festival is coming soon, and the county government officials are working hard on duty. Fang has been of great help. I am willing to donate 500 taels of silver to the county government." Not much, at least I bought a few midnight snacks for the brothers on duty, so I did my best."

The shopkeepers and owners headed by him also expressed their opinions, "I, Shixiang Pavilion, are willing to pay three hundred taels."

"I, Wang Ji Tea Shop, are willing to pay one hundred taels."

"My Zhou family tea shop is willing to pay two hundred taels."

"I, Liu Ji Restaurant, are willing to pay two hundred taels."

"My Li family silk and satin shop is willing to pay one hundred taels."

"My Liu family..."

Listening to the money reported by the owners of these large and small shops one by one, the Xinzi County master nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the business in Xinzi County has been good recently, and these merchants are becoming more and more generous.

but......

He set his sights on the leader, Mr. Qinglan.

Thanks also to this person who inspired me.

In the past, when Mr. Qinglan was away, the shopkeeper named Qian Wang would be very picky about it. Asking him to come up with money would be like taking his life. How could his master know how to handle things.

After agreeing on the price, the master had a drink with everyone and then hurried back to the county government office.

This time the number was much higher than before, but the county magistrate Zhao Kui still didn't smile after hearing this.

He was sitting behind the desk with a sad look on his face. The paperweight he was playing in his hand was already cracked as he knocked it unconsciously.

He let out a long sigh and said melancholy: "If you have money, you must have a life. If I can't find that person, I always feel cold on my neck. Master, what should I do?"

After hearing this, Master Zheng lost all the joy on his face, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Sir, we have searched the county town all over, but we still can't find this person, maybe he didn't enter the city at all.

Is the Government still looking for trouble for us? This seems a bit unreasonable? "
