Chapter 36 Buying People's Hearts

The shopkeeper said: "It used to be, but because of its remote location and low business, it was sold by Manager Zhong later."

"In this way, this Qingdong Tea House has nothing to do with our Lou family?"

“That’s how it is.”

"Since it doesn't matter, how could there be a record of Qingdong Tea House in this account?"

"If you want to go back to the lady, although this Qingdong Tea House has nothing to do with our Lou family, there will be business dealings occasionally."

What relationship can a remote and poor tea house have to do with the Lou family? Not to mention any business dealings.

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, for resolving the doubts." Lou Chunyin returned the account book to the other party, and then said to Lou Yuan: "Brother, let's go,"

"I'm leaving now?" No useful news seemed to be asked.

"Well, let's go." Although Lou Chunyin was not sure, she already knew it.

Leaving the tea shop, Lou Yuan couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any gain?"

Lou Chunyin's face was a little depressed, "I basically understand."

"I understand?" Lou Yuan was confused. Why didn't he hear anything? I could see it?

Lou Chunyin's eyes were far-reaching, and the weather was severe, but there seemed to be a fire burning under her eyes, like the morning glow of the bright light, "Do you know where this Qingdong Tea House is?"

"Some impression." He only went to the tea shop once, but later it was sold, so he didn't remember it deeply.

Lou Chunyin stood there for a moment, then looked at Lou Yuandao, "Let's go to Qingdong Tea House."

Judging from the little girl's appearance, she probably thought there was something wrong with this Qingdong Tea House. Lou Yuan didn't ask much and immediately drove to a certain direction in Xishi City in my memory.

After a lot of twists and turns, I finally saw the four big words "Qingdong Tea House" in front of a not very conspicuous store.

"It's here." Lou Chunyin got off the carriage, stood in front of the door, and looked around.

This place is indeed remote, facing the moat west, and there is no house around it, so it is natural to be sold. She was just wondering how the Lou family found such a secluded place, and how could he buy it without knowing that the geographical location was not good. This is not the style of Mr. Lou.

Then there is only one possibility. Everything was planned and bought this shop is to facilitate your embezzlement of the property in the future.

It turns out that betrayal has existed since the beginning.

The tea shop was pitch black, but the music could see a dim light from the dark oil-paper window, and she raised her hand and knocked on the door of the tea shop.

"Squeak--"

The door opened, and an old hunched lame man stood in front of the door, looking at her vigilantly: "Which lady are you? Is there anything wrong?"

"Isn't this a tea house? I want to buy tea."

The old lame man grinned and raised his face. His eyes were covered with turbidity, as if he was covered with a layer of filth. It was somewhat similar to the gloomy sky at this moment. "Miss, this is indeed a tea house, but the time you came was wrong. This point is gone, and what should not have, and what should not have, is gone."

"Is it gone? I have to read it before I know it. Old man, do you think so?" Lou Chunyin refused to give up and his attitude was clear.

The light in the old lame man's eyes became darker and darker. He took a step back and shrank half of his body into the shadow: "Sister Miss, come in. The wind outside is so strong. I'm afraid that a blizzard is coming. Miss has delayed the time, so don't regret it."

"The old man is worried too much, just a blizzard, and sunny days will always come."

The old lame man laughed and didn't say anything.

Lou Yuan looked at the dark room and always felt something was wrong, but when he saw Lou Chunyin walking in, he had to keep up.

But before he got closer, a strong wind suddenly blew past, and the half-open door closed with a "bang".

He reached out to pull the door again, but found that the door was being pushed from inside and could not be pulled open. He suddenly became anxious: "Open the door, open the door!"

However, no one responded.

When Lou Chunyin heard the movement, she paused on the counter: "Who is the master behind you?"

A strange smile came from behind him: "Miss is so brave, but compared to the lady's courage, what I admire most is the lady's talent."

"If you can hire someone like you, the other party will definitely be generous."

"Since the lady knows, why did she come to die?"

Lou Chunyin frowned and slowly turned around, "I'm dead, you can't escape."

"Escape? Why did I run away?"

Lou Chunyin reached out and something fell from his hand and hit the ground, making a huge noise: "I can afford it, even more than him."

The old lame man looked at the ground and it turned out that it was a golden bar: "Miss wants to win people's hearts?"

"No, I'm a businessman, so I'm naturally doing business with you."

The old lame man had his eyes hidden in the dark, like a sinister snake hiding in the grass, strange and gloomy, "Miss, haven't you ever thought that money is not omnipotent."

He raised his eyebrows tightly, and couldn't help but remember what Bei Mingqing said: Do you really think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want?

As a professional woman who has worked hard in the mall for many years, there is no doubt that money is important. At least in her impression, there is nothing that money cannot solve.

Money can determine a person's identity, status, quality of life, and everything can be exchanged in money.

However, now, she was shaken.

Perhaps, money is really not as important as you imagined.

"Okay." She seemed to compromise, picked up the gold bars on the ground, carefully retracted them in her arms, and when she stretched out her hand, the one holding in her palm was no longer gold, but a delicately crafted sleeve crossbow.

She slowly pulled the mechanism and said, "I will make dozens of sounds, within these ten sounds, my elder brother will definitely break into the door. You don't have much time, think carefully."

The old lame man narrowed his narrow triangular eyes, and the vicious aura in his eyes became heavier. The sleeve crossbow in Lou Chunyin's hand was not an extraordinary product. You can tell at a glance that it was from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong.

The Tang Sect's attainments in the hidden weapons of mechanisms are well known to the world. I heard that they used their unique hidden weapons in the sect to capture all the infamous mantis clubs in the world. More than 200 people died inexplicably. Until now, no one knows what that shocking killing weapon looks like.

Generally speaking, the weapons made by the Tang Sect will never be sold to outsiders, but there are exceptions in everything. People need money to eat and money can make the devil push the mill. The Lou family has a mountain of gold and silver, and a few hidden weapons are not a problem for them.

Lou Chunyin tightened the sleeve crossbow in his hand. When he thought of the money spent, he felt very painful. However, when he saw the old lame man's nervous look as if he was facing a great enemy, he felt that the five thousand taels of silver had not been spent.

"How is it? Have you thought about it? I'm going to start counting. One, two, three..."

"Old woman, kill this girl!"
