Chapter 209: Honesty
The man walked in confused, as if he was worried that the Chu family would be malicious and did not dare to get too close.
"Then what, you are not doing anything bad, are you?"
Bai waved his hand and said, "Little brother, don't get me wrong. We caught a thief last night and were about to send him to the yamen."
The man wondered: "Why should I put the thief in a vegetable basket to send him to the yamen?"
"This... is a long story." Bai Shi held her hands together, thinking about what to say. Chu Yuxin, who was holding her skirt, had already said it with a slight mouth.
I explained clearly how the thief got in, how he caught the thief, and why he put it into the vegetable basket one by one.
Bai looked down at his daughter. He was just a little bit like this, but he was also from the stage to go to school?
"So that's the case, so as not to cause other troubles. This thief's accomplices cannot see it." The man nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and he didn't seem to suspect that Chu Yuxin was fooling him.
Chu Yuxin blinked at her mother, "You little daughter isn't you?"
Bai Shi pursed her lips and held back her smile, raised her hand and touched her little head.
Seeing that Chu's father and Chu Shangming were trying hard to carry the vegetable basket, the man without saying a word, stuffed the wine jar into Bai's hand and walked over to help.
It would be much easier to carry three people.
Dad Chu smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, for your help, what do you call me?"
"My surname is Xiao, Xiao Yuexiao, and I am ranked fifth in my family. Just call me Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu said, "What do you call me brother?"
"I'm a bad person." Dad Chu pointed at Chu Shangming, "I see that you are about the same age as mine, just call me Uncle Chu."
"Okay, Uncle Chu." Xiao Wu smiled, his smile with a bit of silly spirit, looking at a very honest young man.
Dad Chu felt that the young man was quite in line with his eyes and said, "I saw a Chinese man bringing someone to see the shop yesterday. It seems that it is not you, but your relative?"
"No, I'm a friend I met in business." The middle-aged couple who was sent by him with silver bills flashed through Xiao Wu's mind. "I was busy preparing stock yesterday and couldn't leave. I asked them to help me see the shop. If I could buy it, I would sell it."
"Selling wine?" Dad Chu was surprised and looked at him, "There are many wine shops on these streets, and it takes some effort to sell wine here."
"I know." Xiao Wu smiled, "I have inquired about the shop before."
Dad Chu was worried that he would be cheated by that friend. He thought that the shop had just been opened and he could change business or sublease it. At worst, he could give up a few taels of silver. It would be better than losing all his capital if his business was bleak in the future.
However, after hearing what Xiao Wu said, he knew that Xiao Wu had a successful conclusion and no longer said anything.
Xiao Wu looked at Chu Shangming and asked, "Is this gentleman Mr. Chu Shangming, who was rewarded by His Majesty to enter the Imperial College?"
Chu Shangming knew that the news of his favor being rewarded by His Majesty had spread, so Xiao Wupan's shop here naturally had to inquire about the news first, and it was not surprising to know about this. But he was almost called a sir and it was very uncomfortable to hear it.
He asked, "Brother Xiao Gui Geng?"
Xiao Wu said: "Twenty-one."
Chu Shangming said, "I am nineteen, Brother Xiao is better than calling me the word "Deyin."
"Okay." Xiao Wu is a cheerful person. "Don't call me Brother Xiao, either. I'm from the street. I'll be together for a long time in the future. I'm older than you. Just call me "Fifth Brother".
Chu Shangming nodded.
Xiao Wu looked at Dad Chu and said enthusiastically, "I have an acquaintance in the yamen. Uncle, I will accompany you to the yamen to take care of this matter."
"It's not easy to bother you. You have just moved here, so there must be a lot of things." Dad Chu waved his hand, "You Deyin will accompany me."
"Yeah, don't delay things, I'm going to go to the yamen." Xiao Wu helped Chu's father get a ox cart and said, "Deyin is a scholar. How can I carry it and carry it later?" Chu's father wanted to refuse, but Xiao Wu said, "Uncle, don't be dissatisfied with me. It's fate that we can be neighbors. I am not familiar with neighbors, and when I'm too busy with wine and delivery in the future, I have to ask my uncle to help me."
As he said this, the young man was very enthusiastic, and Dad Chu was not a shy person. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you have any help in the future, just say hello."
"Oh!" Xiao Wu responded with a smile.
The two drove the ox cart to the yamen, Bai cleaned up the yard and opened the shop to do business.
In the restaurant selling braised cooking diagonally opposite, two customers hurriedly paid the silver and left with the packed braised cooking.
The restaurant owner lowered his head to find money, and the two of them were gone. She looked at the street corner for a few times and said wonderingly, "I haven't found this money yet, why are you leaving?"

Inn.
The chief guard bowed to the person on the bed and reported to the person on the bed: "Your Highness, the Chu family caught a thief last night and sent it to Shuntian Prefecture with a ox cart. The subordinates looked from a distance and saw that the thief was wearing exactly what Yao Zhou wore yesterday, and his figure was the same, and it should be Yao Zhou."
Wei Mingliang's face was gloomy.
Yao Zhou has good kung fu, but he just investigates a grocery store and is caught. Could it be that a small grocery store is also crouching?
He thought of something and asked, "Apart from you, is there anyone else monitoring the grocery store?"
"There are no suspicious people around." The chief guard shook his head and asked for instructions, "Your Highness, Yao Zhou has been locked in the Shuntian Prefecture prison. Will you send someone to rescue him immediately?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Yes." Wei Mingliang said, "Let the people from the business go to redeem them."
The chief guard received the order and was about to inform the manager of the business bank, Wei Mingliang stopped him, "What's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, I have carefully investigated it. That grocery store is just a business deal. Except for the fact that the head of the family often goes out to deliver goods, it is nothing unusual."
It's nothing different again.
Wei Ming was irritable and there was something wrong with Wei Ming. Why couldn’t he find it out?
He clenched his fists unconsciously, and then slowly relaxed when he noticed the pain from the wound, and let out a deep breath.
He said, "I asked the shops to go to the shop shop on that street. The closer you are to the grocery shop, the better."
The chief guard didn't understand why his highness was staring at a small grocery store. He observed carefully that the grocery store was so ordinary, so why did it take so much energy?
However, these doubts were only circling in his heart.
He thought to himself that this order was a coincidence. If His Highness had ordered two days ago, the shop next to the grocery store would be an excellent choice, but it had already been sold out yesterday.
Wei Mingliang didn't know what he was thinking and ordered, "Please invite the princess."
"As for orders." The chief guard turned around and went out, instructing the maid to invite the princess over, and he went to contact the business.
Meanwhile, Dali Temple.
In the room, the Dali Temple Minister sat opposite the two Shaoqings, each of whom was frowning, and scratched his head for the case of Prince Li.
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Sir, judging from the autopsy results, the prince was unprepared when he died. The murderer should be someone the prince knew. It would be better to investigate it again."
"We have sent people to investigate the people whom the prince came into the capital after he came into contact with him one by one. Even Princess Gaochang has sent someone to ask, and everyone can prove that she had never been to the inn when the prince died. The guards responsible for protecting the prince also said that they did not see the suspicious person."
The Dali Temple Minister sighed, "There are no new clues, and even if you check it again, there will be no progress."
Why did this trouble fall on him?
The Dali Temple is so sad.
Just then, a guard came in and reported, "Sir, Mr. Zhao from the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion asked for a meeting."
