Chapter 284 The whereabouts of the account book

How come a book of books disappears after a stick of incense sticks?

Xie Jingyi thought while walking.

There is something very strange about this. Qingping Town is not far from the capital. So anxious to go to Beijing to hand over the evidence to Master Xu, who was in the imperial examination. Why didn’t he rushed into the capital directly, but instead wanted to stay in a hotel in the middle of the night?

According to Li Jinxiang, after a stick of incense, he was targeted as soon as he went out.

So the person chasing him should follow him very closely. Why did he stop?

There are two possibilities: First, he knew that he was already doomed to be arrested tonight, so he came up with a way to transfer the account book. Even if he died, the account book could not be taken back by the Yan family;

2. He was lucky and thought that when he stayed in a hotel, there were many people and his eyes, so the Yan family did not dare to start a killing campaign with great fanfare, and he might be able to save his life.

But if it was the second possibility, why did he go out again after a stick of incense? That is, he never came back again after this trip.

Therefore, Xie Jingyi prefers the first type. Chai Youchen also thought so, and then he said to go upstairs.

There are many people on the first floor of the teahouse, but the inn on the second floor is very quiet. Most of the people who come to stay here are not in a hurry to enter Beijing overnight, and make some rectifications here and then enter the city.

Li Jinxiang was right. There were very few waiters in the building and were busy serving tea and water at the bottom. No one noticed that the two of them went upstairs.

Xie Jingyi took a step forward and walked straight to the door of No. 1. She thought, squatted down, knocked on the wooden board on the ground, and sounded carefully, and looked at the gaps in the railings next to her, and she didn't even let go of the corner of the wall.

Chai Youchen didn't say anything, and moved the flower pot in front of the door, and did not find any place where he could hide the account book.

Xie Jingyi lowered her eyes and looked at Chai Youchen. Chai Youchen nodded, and the two turned around and went downstairs.

The door with the number one word of the earth had been sealed. The Yan family went through the first time. Later, the local county government sent a second time, but no account book was found. Even if there were, it was asked to take it away quietly.

The two returned to the elegant room, and Chai Gui immediately came up to meet him. Xie Jing waved his hand and said, "Chai Gui, help me see if Li Xing has finished looking for a kiss for me."

Chai Gui immediately turned around and rushed out.

Chai Youchen snorted, sat down, and said, "I don't know, I still think he is your book boy."

Xie Jingyi leaned closer, "Isn't it?"

Chai Youchen's face turned red and he was a little dull. When he realized his reaction, he was angry and embarrassed and said, "Thank you, San!"

Xie Jingyi looked at his red ears and laughed out loud, "Oh, Qingjue, Qingjue, your father has an outdoor room. When he has a biological child in the future, he will not want you, the donkey son who was halfway picked up."

Chai Youchen was frightened by Xie Jingyi before, but now he has recovered and said coldly, "I just want to Qingjue his mother."

Xie Jingyi was stunned, and her face turned red in a bad mood. She cleared her throat and said hard, "That's amazing. I have to go to Hangzhou to see if the green-blooded female donkey is still there. If it is there, then I have to prepare a dowry for it."

Chai Youchen was so upset by her that he reached out and pulled Xie Jingyi to his side. "I don't feel tired when I stand. Qingping Town's glutinous rice cake is not bad. You can try it. When Chai Gui comes, we will leave. Qingping Town, don't come again, it's eye-catching."

It’s easy to say that it will be inappropriate to come one after another.

Xie Jingyi thought, and called the waiter in at the door and smiled, "Your glutinous rice cake is good. I picked up two boxes for me and put them back and brought them to my mother for food. My uncle had just stayed in your store two days ago and kept boasting when he got home. My mother didn't say anything, but was thinking in her heart."

The waiter was stunned and smiled, "Thank you for the praise."

Xie Jingyi said, took out a string of money from his pocket and threw it to the waiter, "My uncle is so stingy that he doesn't want to give the waiter money. He is very troubled. He doesn't know where he met a fortune teller and said he is destined to be with the second one, so he really went to heart. He must live in the second house in the hotel, and he wants to order even dishes evenly, which will cause you a lot of trouble."

The waiter took the money and was very happy, "Thank you for the reward. I have an impression of what you said. Are you born with a noble and rich scholar? Ah, your surname is also very good, and your surname is Quan, you come from Xijing. He lives in the second place."

The waiter said, smiling, "It's not a big trouble. He brought a lot of books and left them in the stable and refused to put them at the counter, for fear that others would steal them, so he insisted on us carrying them up."

Xie Jingyi nodded, Xijing!

"Well, it's not. I came with my sister Zhou." Xie Jingyi smiled, picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake on the table and started eating.

"It's just that, I'll go to pack glutinous rice cakes for you now." The waiter said, happily leaving the house.

Chai Youchen frowned, "Do you suspect that the account book was taken away by Master Xu in the chaos?"

Xie Jingyi nodded, "A adult fell down so easily, and fell so well, and fell near someone else's cage. Of course, the most suspicious one was Mrs. Zhou. The witness said that her servant was replacing her with a new bedding at the time, and there were many cages in the aisle."

"As for Scholar Quan, I won't come to Qingping Town anymore, so I'm naturally asking for it. The witness didn't see him at that time, and he was less likely to be, but not without it. Let's make plans first."

Chai Youchen nodded, "You have a clear idea in your heart, so you will leave this matter to you. I'll go to Fengping County. If you get the things, don't hesitate and leave them to that old man. Don't leave them in your hands for too long."

"I know, Fengping is now a place of right and wrong, so be careful."

Chai Youchen smiled and took a sip of tea, "It's just a little wind and a little wave. Do you know what will happen later."

Xie Jingyi nodded softly, "Don't worry, I won't have my hand tomorrow, my last name will be yours."

While speaking, the waiter had already packed the glutinous rice cake and brought it in. Xie Jingyi was about to carry it on his hand, but Chai Gui had already walked in and picked up the food box.

Li Xing, who was following behind, lowered his head and said with a strange expression, "I have searched all over the town, but none of them are my aunt's house. I'm afraid we've made a mistake. I asked, it turned out that there is a duckweed town nearby, so I'm afraid that it's a mess."

Xie Jingyi widened her eyes in surprise and stomped her feet, "This... Then let's go to that duckweed town quickly. If it's delayed, my grandmother is afraid she will blame me."

As she said, she turned around and blessed Chai Youchen, "Don't worry, second young master, you're not worried about your affairs... I will never tell you. After all, you're short-speaking and ruthless."

She said, glanced at the food box in Chai Gui's hand and showed a smile of "I understand, I understand".
