Bai Qiao thought that he could calm down towards Qi Changting, but when he was going to rest at night, after Qi Tonghe led her down to her house, he still couldn't help hissing.

Qi Changting didn't know when he sent someone over, but he actually got her a room that was exactly the same as the one she lived in when she was in Bai's house.

Yue Lan was also very surprised, and murmured: "Master Qi is really thoughtful."

But Bai Qiao felt very awkward, she looked around hoping to find something different.

After a while, his gaze was fixed on the mint by the window.

Next to the original potted mint plant, there was another small pot. Bai Qiao went over to look for faults, but never thought that it was actually another pot of mint seedlings.

I'm afraid Qi Changting found a professional gardener and transplanted it from the original mint.

The tender and shiny buds squeezed out tremblingly from the soil, and the leaves, which were the size of a fingernail, felt soft to the touch, turning the heart of Baiqiao into a puddle of warm water.

She couldn't help but sighed again in her heart.

Why is this guy so good at giving gifts?It just hit her heart.

No matter how hard Bai Qiao convinced herself that this was a kind of year-end award, she still couldn't help feeling that Qi Changting's attention to her had crossed the line.

It's like the water lotion you've been using is out of stock, and the boss suddenly managed to get a bottle and put it in your new dormitory.

It's just... kind of spooky.

And at this guilty moment, there was a sudden knock on the door and Bai Xiao's voice from outside.

"Aqiao? Are you asleep? It's me."

Bai Qiao: "!" Why are you here at this time!

She was startled, and subconsciously picked up the pot of seedlings that Qi Changting had given her, trying to hide it.

However, probably because the candlelight in the house cast her shadow on the window, Bai Xiao actually found her by the window, but did not open the door for him.

"Aqiao?" Bai Xiao's voice sounded outside the window.

Yue Lan also looked at her young lady strangely.

Bai Qiao closed his eyes, had no choice but to bite the bullet and put the little mint back to its original place, opened the door and invited Bai Xiao in, secretly praying that he would not notice the new pot of little mint.

However, the damned thing of fate is about being afraid of something.

Bai Xiao didn't come here for anything special, just to ask her sister if she was used to living there, for fear that she and the two little girls, Yue Lan, might find it inconvenient and couldn't change it.

And when he was in Jiangdu, he was unfamiliar with Baiqiao because of this pot of mint and that quill pen, so he found a pot of seedlings on the window sill after a while.

Bai Qiao was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, his palms were sweating, he didn't know what to say if Bai Xiao asked her.

"Yo, what a cute little guy, are the ones next to you mint?" But Bai Xiao just said that.

Baiqiao was terrified, and didn't know how to explain it, so Yuelan hurried to save the situation: "It seems that Mr. Qi asked someone to raise him. He also seems to like the smell of mint."

Bai Qiao: "..."

At that moment, she almost reached out to cover Yuelan's mouth.

She waited in fear for Bai Xiao's questioning, but Bai Xiao just nodded, "Oh", and then said to herself: "I want to ask for a pot later."

After all, this is something my sister likes, and he also wants to try to understand something.

Bai Xiao stayed in the room for a while, and after confirming that Bai Qiao didn't need any help, he left.

And since Yuelan came to Dongdu, she also had her own small house, which was next to Baiqiao, and after serving Baiqiao to wash, she also left.

Silence returned to the room, the girl silently watched the seedling, and suddenly realized something.

Neither Bai Xiao nor Yue Lan seemed to think that this pot of seedlings was a big deal, but she...

This is not a bottle of personal water milk, but a bottle of mineral water. Because she recommended it to the boss at the beginning, and the boss liked it very much, so he also gave her a box when he bought it.

Yes, it's just an insignificant mint plant, if she has a clear conscience, what's the big deal?

Then why did she subconsciously feel that...

Snapped!

The girl patted her forehead lightly with her right hand.

It's really magical.

After Baiqiao figured it out, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips again, he leaned closer and gently rubbed the cold and tender leaves with his fingertips, and said good night softly.

Another day passed peacefully like this, and the guys worked together to make a hidden darkroom in the backyard again, and carefully stored the materials in it.

His proficiency made Bai Qiao wonder how many such things they did with Qi Changting, and where did Qi Changting find so many capable people with strange skills.

In short, by the morning of the second day, the backyard had completely restored the original layout of Huang Liang and Meng, and there was no trace of the dark room at all.

The treasure is hidden, which means that the party can accept the scrutiny of all parties openly, and the three-day deadline agreed between Qi Tonghe and Meng Yi has also come to an end on this day.

It was late in the morning in late autumn, and when the sun was just showing half of its light, the guys in the shops on Changle Street yawned and opened the doors, sweeping the lobby and preparing to welcome customers while refreshing themselves.

The preparations were almost done, a guy went out to fish for steamed buns, but unexpectedly discovered that Huang Liang Yi Meng, a time-honored brand in Beijing, was still closed.

He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was because the clerk had slept, but after another half an hour, the sun was high and the market gradually became bustling, but the door was still closed.

Could it be that so many guys have all slept through?

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little bad.

There was a kind-hearted and courageous boy in the drugstore next door, and finally couldn't wait anymore, and knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, after knocking twice, the door opened, and a strange guy came out rubbing his eyes.

We are usually neighbors in the street and are familiar with each other. The young man who knocked on the door obviously didn't expect that the person who came out would not know him, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

He let out an "uh" and asked nazily, "You guys, aren't you doing work today?"

"Oh, I did it, I'm sorry, I slept too late last night, and everyone didn't get up this morning, so I got up to work now." The man scratched his head honestly, which elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.

However, soon, the laughter stopped abruptly like a duck with its neck choked.

I saw that guy waved into the house, and then another guy ran out with a ladder on his shoulders.

The latter was so strong that he ran up the ladder as if he was going up the stairs without any help, and then lifted and pulled the plaque with his hand, and the plaque with green characters on the yellow nanmu background was removed by him with his bare hands, and then he threw it directly on the ground.

There was a loud bang, accompanied by swirling dust, which attracted many people's eyes.

Is this... is this your job?

Just, kind of scary.

however--

No one yelled and cursed, and the noisy street was so quiet that a needle could be heard for a while.

Only the guy who was waiting below rubbed his eyes fiercely, kicked off the ladder and cursed with a smile: "Be careful, I, you dirty the threshold of the new neighbor, and see if the shopkeeper comes and hits you!"

There were obviously people everywhere on the street, but only the voice of that person echoed, as if they were watching a weird one-man show.

Finally, after a few breaths, the voice of discussion gradually sounded, and then it swept in like a tide, and finally it was like boiling back to the sky.

"Huang Liang Yimeng committed a crime and was copied?!"

"Damn it, the shop must have changed hands!"

"Not necessarily, look at the gesture of that guy throwing the plaque, it must be a vendetta."

"But there is no sign at all. I think it was still driving well yesterday."

The discussion attracted more and more onlookers, and there were more and more speculations among the divergent opinions, but no matter how they explained the reasons, everyone had reached the same consensus——

Huangliang Yimeng, a time-honored grain shop that has stood in the Eastern Capital for decades, closed its doors on this extremely ordinary morning.

This matter is too unbelievable, so it seems that this new shop is unfathomable, everyone's curiosity is raised high, but because of the skill of the guy just now, and the weird one-man show just now, No one dared to step forward to ask.

And the two guys didn't mean to explain at all, and they didn't even seem to be half aware of the uproar they caused just now. They just apologized for throwing the plaque and dusting it, and dragged the plaque back to the lobby.

Those who were close seemed to hear the two discussing.

"Let's burn it as firewood, it can hold up an earth dragon for half a day."

Everyone: "..."

The person concerned patted his ass and left, leaving a lot of question marks, but the onlookers were still reluctant to disperse, because the two didn't close the door at all.

Huang Liang Yimeng, oh no, it's the lobby of the mysterious shop, and what the guys did in the lobby, all of them are disclosed to the public without any concealment.

More than a dozen guys filed out from the backyard. First, all kinds of large food tanks were carried out, and a wooden sign with a price was hung up to sell them on the spot. Liang Yimeng was indeed a sign that he was ready to quit.

After that, the guys completely regarded the shop lobby as a processing factory.

They first cut out a lot of wooden boards that are two people high and one person wide, then stuffed thick cotton between the two layers of wooden boards, sealed them up, and finally erected the wooden boards as walls, dividing the entire lobby into ten rooms. Xiaoya room.

Everyone has seen the cotton-filled wooden boards, which are used for sound insulation.

But why does this shop have so many soundproof rooms in its lobby?

"Whisper?"

"Appraisal?"

"No, I think it might be used for that kind of thing." The person who spoke had an intimidating expression on his face.

The person next to him glanced at him subtly, and then moved away.

Of course, no one explained to them, even the work on the first floor was probably finished, and those people went up to the second floor without hesitation.

The perspective of the second floor cannot be seen from outside the shop, and the curiosity of the onlookers was raised to the extreme, and some even wanted to sneak in to have a look.

Meng Yi suddenly appeared at this time.

When he first squeezed into the crowd, no one even recognized him, because the man was disheveled, his face was pale, and his hair was crooked. He looked like someone who had escaped from a bandit den.

Until he squeezed his way to the door of the shop, he saw that the sign of "Huangliang Yimeng" had disappeared without a trace, and the outside of the shop was full of empty rice vats. The sign with the price tag was like a slap in the face.

Meng Yi staggered a step and nearly fell over, and then rushed into the lobby like crazy, cursing loudly.

This move finally attracted people's attention, like throwing a boulder into a calm lake.

"Shopkeeper Meng, isn't this Shopkeeper Meng!"

"How did it look like this!"

"What is he scolding? The Qi family tricked him into taking away his shop?"

Finally someone mentioned a familiar word.

"Qi family, I remembered, it's the Qi family who put up silver with a daily interest rate of [-] cent outside Fangshi a few days ago, isn't it?"

At this time, Meng Yi had scolded until his voice became hoarse, but no one in the shop paid any attention to him.

He turned pale with anger.

God knows that he waited for three days but did not get the money from Qi's family. This morning he chose between running away directly and asking at the door.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of the alley, he ran into the leader of the "Jiangdu" caravan who came to buy his shop that day, and heard others calling him the owner.

The Patriarch, the Patriarch of the Qi Family, who bought his shop at a low price is the Patriarch of the Qi Family who put the money!

Like a thunderbolt piercing the clear sky, Meng Yi figured out all the key points almost instantly.

The Qi family first used low-interest loans to lure merchants in trouble in Beijing to expose their shortcomings, and then picked the fattest ones to slaughter!

Meng Yi was trembling with anger, but his rationality told him that the deal was done, there was no other way now, he could only flee according to the original plan.

It's just that without the money that Qi's family lent him for money, he might not be able to survive this journey.

Smashing teeth and swallowing blood, he was about to leave quietly, but suddenly there was a conversation in another alley behind him.

"Are you sure Meng Yi's bastard ran here? He borrowed money from me and ran away? See if I don't break his leg!"

Meng Yi: "!!!"

He almost passed out in fright.

How is it possible, how could these people find this place!

This was really unbelievable, but Meng Yi didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out of the city, but he probably didn't cover up the sound of his footsteps, and instead caused those people to chase him up.

The vicious hooting sounds behind him frightened his liver and gallbladder, like a lamb being chased away by wolves, rushing forward without knowing the direction.

When I came back to my senses, there were no pursuers behind me, and not far in front of me was a crowded crowd and a familiar street scene.

——He actually ran to Fangshi, to his own shop.

The crowds of familiar people aroused his memory.

A few days ago, he saw the notice of the Qi family at Fangshikou, and it was the same scene.

But now, the Qi family has occupied his shop openly and aboveboard.

That was supposed to be his shop.

Meng Yi's breathing became more and more rapid, reaching a certain critical point, and the overwhelming anger finally blew his mind out.

He rushed forward desperately, pushed aside the crowd, and wanted to get an explanation for himself. It happened that there were so many neighbors around here, and they could all support him!

So he said it like this, he said it all in detail, and at the end of the day he said the truth, he roared with tears and wailed loudly.

What he waited for, however, was not the righteous indignation of his neighbors.

"So... shopkeeper Meng, you actually signed the contract to sell the shop?!"

"Shopkeeper Meng, did you really go to that Qi's house to borrow money that day?"

"That's a rate of [-]% per day. My shop can only earn [-]% on weekdays. Why can't you think about borrowing that money?"

Meng Yi froze in place, he was doing it to repay the loan sharks.

But he dared not say such a thing.

However, he didn't say it, but someone could guess it.

"In such a hurry to spend money, even the shop has to be sold, I'm afraid you borrowed the usury with a daily interest rate of [-]% and tripled every year, shopkeeper Meng, why do you suddenly want to borrow usury?"

"Naturally, it's for business." Meng Yi said with a red and white complexion, poking his neck.

At this moment, he already felt that something was wrong, and the mind occupied by anger was barely brought back by these teasing interrogations, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He should have escaped quietly!

How could he appear in such an eye-catching place, and even admit that he borrowed loan sharks!

However, by the time he realized it was too late, his words of admitting loan sharks were like a lead wire, completely igniting the crowd.

Everyone talked to each other, and in just a few breaths, they somehow brought the topic to the waterlogging in the six counties of Huainan.

Impossible, how could someone guess that he wanted to make money from the Huainan flood disaster just because of loan sharks!

Meng Yi was dumbfounded.

No, no!Someone is messing with him!

Meng Yi was not stupid after all, he finally realized this soberly.

Something in the dark guided him to raise his eyes.

Distantly, he met a familiar smiling face in the crowd, it was the head of the Qi family.

Meng Yi understood.

It was they who pretended to be loan sharks and drove him over. They were the ones who guided the public opinion and pulled out the Huainan incident!

It's over, it's over.

Meng Yi clearly saw his future.

However, at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to scold Qi Tonghe angrily. After a while, his mind went blank, his eyes rolled and he passed out.

The onlookers had originally expected Meng Yi to stand up and defend himself. After all, flooding and disasters are immoral things that will cost one's life.

However, Meng Yi was so frightened that the seven souls came out of his body, everyone was in an uproar, and public opinion completely turned to this mysterious Qi family who had cheated Meng Yi.

Doing justice for the heavens, this is, so, what do they do?

This question once again crazily swept everyone's minds.

In the hut on the second floor where no one noticed, Baiqiao was lazily leaning against the window, with a smile on his face, watching the ups and downs with joy.

Seeing that it was almost done, she waved her hand to Yue Lan beside her, and Yue Lan trotted down to pass the message.

——After a whole morning's appetite, it's time to put up the signboard of Qianfang Cabinet.

Of course, a notice written by Qi Changting himself was posted together.

Dongdufang City hadn't seen such excitement in many years, one after another, it was dizzying.

The cabinet plaque hung with red silk, black lacquered wood, and golden cursive script, coupled with Meng Yi's karma, looked very domineering.

And it was that thin paper notice that completely overturned the market.

Compared with the last one, the wording of this document can be said to be astonishing, but it is still a document for lending money, and it still only lends money to qualified businessmen, and there is still no need for pawns. The only thing that has changed is :

The original daily interest rate was one cent, but the monthly interest rate was no more than one and a half cents.

Converted into daily interest, it means no more than half a cent a day.

It's lower, it's actually lower!

As soon as the notice came out, many people were rubbing their eyes, not to mention the half and half, isn't the "not more than" really a typo?Shouldn't it be "not less than"? !

That is to say, if you borrow one or two silver from this cabinet shop, you will only get half a copper plate more per day at most, and only 180 more copper coins per month, and only [-] more copper coins per year!

This, this, this is the money they can borrow without pawns? !

The merchants on Changle Street are all people who have been immersed in business for many years, and the calculations in their hearts have already played out afterimages, so that their mouths are idle, and there is no sound in the market again, only the wolves are like wolves. The eyes with green light prove the urgency in people's hearts.

Shirahashi finally retracted from the window on the second floor.

The girl stretched her waist in satisfaction, she was extremely satisfied with the excitement and marketing.

However, just when she was about to turn around and go downstairs, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of sight fixed on her.

"!" Bai Qiao's heart skipped a beat.

She had already heard from Qi Changting on the way to Dongdu before that she should not be too high-profile in Dongdu, and she might be hated by that "Master Chang's political enemy".

Of course, she thinks that she has restrained herself very much, that's all she has to do in the city, could it be that...

The girl took a light breath, but since she had already been seen, she had to know who the other party was anyway.

So, looking at a certain moment, she suddenly raised her eyes to look in that direction in her intuition, and then...

Suddenly, he met a pair of familiar eyes.

The boy's eyes were dark, and there was a smile that he could not take back in the future.

Bai Qiao: "?!" Qi Changting? !

Aren't you going to court today? Why did he come here at this time to watch the excitement?

She suspected that her eyes were dazzled, so she blinked and looked again, and the person standing there turned into a scholar in coarse gray clothes again.

Bai Qiao: "...?"

She took a closer look again, she was really a scholar!

But just now...

Baiqiao's heart turned cold.

No!A few days ago, it was still an auditory hallucination, but today it turned out to be a hallucination!

Yue Lan at the side noticed that her young lady's face suddenly turned ugly, and she couldn't help but looked over worriedly.

Something has happened to the young lady recently, and she often turns pale for no reason.

After a while, Baiqiao still didn't recover, Yuelan poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her carefully.

"Miss? What's the matter? But what's wrong?"

"Ah." The girl turned her head and looked at her little servant girl blankly.

She pressed Yuelan's shoulder and said in a daze: "It's over, I may have a disease."

A feeling that the boss is watching my illness anytime, anywhere.

The author has something to say:
