Chapter 1050 Liu Weirongleng Came Here in Person, so He Won’t Get Nothing
As soon as the shopkeeper left, King Quan pulled Liu Wei to the corner, pointed to an obvious mark in the corner and said, "Is this the snake droppings found in the cabin last time?"
It was precisely because of this that King Quan was sure that the snake owner must have lived here.
Liu Wei waved away King Quan's hand, looked around the room, and lowered his voice and said, "No one has lived in this room for at least a month."
King Quan was stunned, and Rong Leng also frowned.
Liu Wei walked to the table and reached out to touch the table. It was spotless. Looking at the cup, it was also clean. However, there was obvious dust on the silk cushion of the table.
There is water stain on the edge of the window sill, and the water stain is on the bottom.
Pushing open the window, there was a clear separation between wet and dry areas on the windowsill. Liu Wei pointed at the separation and said, "This window has not been opened for at least a month."
Liu Wei walked to the bed again and stared at the quilt for a while.
King Quan stepped forward, lifted a corner of the quilt and touched it: "It's a new quilt."
"But no one has slept there." Liu Wei said, pushing away the foot pedals with his feet: "The inns are equipped with clogs for guests to use when they get up at night. The bed quilt has been changed and the foot pedals have been wiped. , but the sandals placed under the pedals are already gathering dust."
King Quan still frowned and said, "Maybe the snake keeper doesn't get up at night?"
"This is not a matter of getting up and staying up all night." Liu Wei said: "The waiter at the inn will receive the reward to send the guests into the room. When making the bed, he will consciously take out the sandals from under the pedals and lay them out for the guests. If the waiter found that his sandals were dusty, how could he not change them to a clean pair for the guest?"
But King Quan didn't understand: "So, the snake's excrement was also placed there intentionally? The shopkeeper lied, why?"
"Why else? This is Qingzhou."
Who else can cover the sky with one hand in Qingzhou City!
"South City Gate." Rong Leng said suddenly.
Hearing this, Liu Wei nodded: "The west city gate is a trap, only the south city gate has things." After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
Rong Leng stayed with her.
King Quan looked around the room again before reluctantly following him.
After going downstairs, Liu Wei was very friendly and said to the shopkeeper: "I did find something, which is disturbing the shopkeeper's business."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It is my blessing to be able to help the adults. If you three have anything else to see or ask, I will definitely know everything that you can tell me."
Liu Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Can I borrow a piece of blank paper from the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper quickly brought a pile of rice paper, laid it out, and prepared pen and ink.
"Are there any charcoal bars?"
The shopkeeper didn't quite understand: "Tan... strips?"
"It's just the leftover charcoal in the stove."
Although the shopkeeper didn't know what this man was going to do, he still ordered the waiter to go to the kitchen and get some.
Liu Wei picked a small piece of charcoal, tried it on the rice paper, and asked, "The shopkeeper can tell you in detail about the person's facial features, for example, whether the person's eyes are big or small, and whether the ends of the eyes are upward or upward." Drooping, whether the eyes are downward or parallel..."
Liu Wei guided her step by step according to her own words. The shopkeeper could still stutter his answers at first, but then he was just sweating profusely. Seeing this gentleman from Qingjun using charcoal blocks on the rice paper, he really According to what he said, he drew a human figure that looked like a real person. He was completely frightened, pinching his sleeves, and his whole body was trembling.
Liu Weixiang didn't see anything wrong with the shopkeeper. The more he asked, the more detailed he became. By the time a portrait was finished, the shopkeeper's face was red and sweating profusely.
"Is that him?" Liu Wei shook the rice paper, shook off the excess charcoal powder, and asked.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, thank you, farewell!" Liu Wei said, folded the rice paper and walked outside.
After they were far away, King Quan asked her, "Why did you paint this portrait when you knew the shopkeeper was lying?"
Liu Wei said: "The shopkeeper can confuse us, but we can't confuse him? Prince, please send someone to keep an eye on him. The shopkeeper was frightened and worried about the portrait. He decided to explain it to his master when he arrived. Then we will see if the man behind the suspicion is Fu Hongmei."
Because he wanted to know the result as soon as possible, Liu Wei simply sat and waited in the teahouse on the next street.
Rong Leng went out several times during the trip, as if to explain something to his secret guards. Liu Wei didn't listen, but he could guess that it was probably related to the Fu family.
After waiting for an hour, King Quan also came over with Xingyi.
Xingyi reported that the shopkeeper later went to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
…
In the evening, Liu Wei and Rong Leng came to the teahouse near the South City Gate.
In order to avoid being discovered by Fu Hongmei, they chose a location on the first floor next to the stairs. That location has a shielding effect. When entering from the door, the line of sight will be blocked by the wide stairs, and the tables and chairs behind the stairs cannot be seen.
The waiter came and asked for tea. Liu Wei casually ordered two things, looked at the sky, and estimated how long it would take for Fu Hongmei to arrive.
"Has everyone nearby made arrangements?" Liu Wei asked Rong Leng.
Now that it has been determined that the inn at the West Gate is a front, it is indeed a bit suspicious for Fu Hongmei to come to the South Gate every day.
King Quan returned without success a few days ago, and today Liu Weirong Leng personally brought people here, so he would not get anything back.
"Okay." Rong Leng said, and asked the waiter how many snacks he had brought, so that Liu Wei could eat more.
Liu Wei took a piece and put it into his mouth, staring at the door while eating.
It is already midnight, and all the storytellers from the evening chat are here and are sorting out their things in the hall on the first floor.
The sky outside was gray, and the world seemed to be plunged into darkness at any moment.
While the storyteller was putting things in order, many adults who had had dinner at home also took their children and came to sit at the entrance of the teahouse.
In ancient times, there was little entertainment in the evenings. Most serious people had nothing to do after dinner, so they would come to a nearby teahouse to listen to books for an hour. After returning home, they would have a good rest. The time card was calculated just right.
"The last letter mentioned that the young lady of the Wang family in the west chamber did not know that her husband-in-law had become the prince-in-law of the dynasty. She was still waiting for her husband to return to his hometown after high school. She even didn't mention it in the letter sent to Kyoto by someone. There is news that I am pregnant, but I am afraid that it will cause my husband to worry..."
The storyteller's voice was not loud, but the people around him were quiet. Liu Wei didn't want to listen, but it fell into her ears. She turned her head and saw the storyteller knocking the gavel on the table in front of her and facing the front. One finger.
"It is also said that Cao Xiucai in Beijing, after the thank you banquet, got an official position in the Hanlin Academy under the guidance of his mentor, and because the princess fell in love at first sight, he often used the convenience of going to the palace to exchange letters with the princess. The princess, who is full of glib words and will be kept in a deep palace and has never seen the dangers of the human world, is very amused. She is also devoted to Cao Xiucai and will not marry anyone except you..."
"coming."
When Liu Wei heard this, Rong Leng's voice sounded beside him.
She turned her eyes and saw Fu Hongmei, accompanied by a young boy, entering the teahouse and going straight to the second floor outside the gate.
