Chapter 211: Heart-longing
Shen Qiao'an has had palpitations since she witnessed Li Zhongxuan's murder, and it has been a month, and she has often been riddled with nightmares during this month.
And in the past month, Chen Huaiyi has taken good care of Qiao An, she is very affectionate and polite to Qiao An, and she is really Liu Xia Hui.
Shen Qiaoan woke up from a nightmare, and Chen Huaiyi entered the house as soon as possible to comfort him.
After finishing, Chen Huaiyi retreated and continued to lay the floor under the eaves, and after six months, the mosquitoes outside became thunder, and Qiao An felt very sorry for Chen Huaiyi. She thought about it, otherwise let Chen Huaiyi come to the house to forget it, but after hesitating, she still forgot it.
And Chen Huaiyi is an informed and interesting person, and he never takes the initiative to ask to go to the house.
Although, Shen Qiaoan did not latch the door.
The moon came out tonight, after Qiao An's nightmare, it was difficult to sleep anymore, Chen Huaiyi looked at the moon in the sky.
"Sometimes I think, if I didn't have his son, my father taught me to be a dragon and a phoenix when I grew up, I am the kind of person who has no ambitions, my father and younger brother are generally wolf ambitions, and then they are almost covered with eggs, Joan, you say, if my father is an ordinary person, how good would it be? Probably now our family is still happy, right? β
"You...... Started missing them? Qiao Ann knew that she was asking more questions, in fact, why didn't she miss others? Thousands of thoughts are like thousands of horses galloping, Qiao An is also thinking when she can't sleep, thinking about King Yu's father, and thinking about her mother-in-law in a small fishing village.
But Shen Qiaoan thought about Li Zhongxuan the most.
Li Zhongxuan has now become a forbidden area of thought, she doesn't want to do it, just think about it, and it will be difficult to extricate herself.
"Chen Huaiyi, I'm sorry." Joan wiped away her tears, her pessimistic voice like a cracked string.
Chen Huaiyi smiled and said softly: "Qiao An, don't be sad, I'm like this white moonlight, I'm already very happy to protect you." β
When Joan heard this, her heart was even worse than just now.
Should she take over Ou Chen Huaiyi?
On the second day, Chen Huaiyi came back from transporting goods from outside and pulled Shen Qiaoan to the side.
An Weixian raised her eyes to look at Chen Huaiyi, "What are you doing?" Qiao An smiled, Chen Huaiyi saw that Qiao An was going to go outside to get busy, and took the tray in Qiao An's hand.
"Close your eyes."
Chen Huaiyi smiled softly, someone outside called for wine, Qiao An smiled: "It's so busy outside, what are you playing?" "Reluctantly cooperated.
"I want you to close your eyes, quick." Qiao An was helpless, closed her eyes, Chen Huaiyi took out a chain from her neck and put it on Shen Qiao'an's neck.
"Alright, open your eyes and see."
Shen Qiaoan opened his eyes and saw that it was a very simple necklace, but the pendant on it was extraordinary, it was polished out of a spar, and it was extremely beautiful.
"What?" Joan asked stupidly.
"Moonshine, me." Chen Huaiyi smiled and pointed at himself.
Qiao An was moved, and hurriedly took down the loud sound, and prevaricated: "I can't ask for such a valuable gift." β
But Chen Huaiyi won't take it back, "I don't mean anything else, just wear it, the spar will shine, when you miss your family in the dead of night or you feel afraid, you take a look, maybe it won't be so uncomfortable." β
Qiao An was very moved, although it was just a simple spiritual sustenance, but after all, it was better than nothing, and besides, it was a gift from Chen Huaiyi, where could Shen Qiaoan refuse? Qiao An put it away and saluted Chen Huaiyi.
Chen Huaiyi gently touched Qiao An's head, and Shen Qiao An went to work outside.
Today, there are no people to buy or send information, which is really strange, this is a relatively free day after a long time. However, Shen Qiao'an is most afraid of this, and it is difficult for Qiao An to spend his free time.
She still thinks crankily, and all kinds of thoughts come flooding in, which makes Joan extremely uncomfortable. By the afternoon, when the door was basically about to close, the intelligence liaison came and passed on the bad news of the family of four to Shen Qiaoan.
Qiao An blamed herself and sighed, "It must be my fault, if we don't go, probably he won't be the target of hunting." β
Shen Qiaoan was uneasy.
"Let's go check it out."
Luo Zhiyuan felt very strange, he felt the danger, it was very likely that someone was already paying attention to them, otherwise why did someone kill them on the back foot as soon as they walked on the front foot?
The speed and viciousness of its methods are incredible.
Shen Qiaoan and Luo Zhiyuan couldn't dress up the same as yesterday, and the two of them pretended to be a little couple for fear of attracting attention.
After the murder, there was no martial law here, and the people of the court had buried the body, and the two of them inquired about it after a little inquiry.
The girl next door said to Shen Qiao'an: "This place is not too close, what are you doing here to play?" Yesterday there was a murder. β
"Husband, people are so scared." Qiao An approached Luo Zhiyuan, the relationship between the two seems to be very close, Qiao An's acting skills are very good, and it is easy to get by.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Luo Zhiyuan took care of Qiao An and turned his eyes to look at the girl. "I heard that a family of four was killed, and their honest family will ...... as well."
The girl herself knew the inside story, so she described the situation vividly, and the whole scene was vivid, as if the girl had witnessed it with her own eyes, Shen Qiaoan couldn't help but sweat when she heard this.
"You're not mistaken, is it the porcelain piece that pierced the throat?"
Luo Zhiyuan looked at the girl in disbelief.
"I'm afraid that if you say it, how can a porcelain piece kill someone?"
"You don't believe it, there was a murder just now, I came over, yesterday Lord Li came, and the man brought by Master Li also said so, the other party is a master, and you will never think of it, then Sha Pingwei is also a master, he was in the tiger and leopard battalion before he retired! Later, I heard that I participated in the 'Lingyuan Pavilion'. β
Hearing this, Jo Ann wanted to grasp enough information.
In fact, before coming here, Shen Qiaoan had already obtained all the information from the contact point, and she always hoped that the information sent to her hand was accurate, but only after the intelligence officer sent the information to Shen Qiaoan yesterday, Qiao An hoped that the information was wrong.
The man's description was exactly what the little girl said.
That's enough to say ...... His assassination methods were exactly the same as those of Li Zhongxuan.
Could it be that the murderer is Li Zhongxuan?
Li Zhongxuan killed that person first, and then brought the officers and soldiers of the imperial court over to pretend to investigate?
If that were the case, it would be terrifying.
After Qiao An finished inquiring, her face was pale, and she hurriedly said when she saw the little girl here: "Look at Mrs. Zun is scared, Gongzi take Mrs. Zun back, don't wander around here, there are ambushes in the imperial court here, everywhere is dangerous, go, go." β
The last sentence reminded them that Qiao An beat his spirits and said goodbye to the girl, because he knew that there was an ambush, and the two performed very decently.
The two left, and they were about to arrive at Qixiamen, and when they looked back, they didn't see anyone following them behind, so Qiao An opened up a little distance.
Luo Zhiyuan looked at Shen Qiaoan, "Now it has gradually been proved that the murderer is very likely to be Li Zhongxuan, we have to be more careful, his power now is much greater than before." β
"I know." Joan agreed weakly.
Returned to the hotel, the evening rush hour of the hotel arrived, Qiao An and Luo Zhiyuan were busy, and soon the drinks were sold out.
"Our expenses are too big now, how about you, Joan?" Shen Qiaoan's accounts are separate.
Her ghost yamen business is doing well, and it has long exceeded the income on the faΓ§ade.
After asking, Shen Qiaoan took out his account book, and added it in two clicks, and the silver was more and more income, but the number of people hired was also increasing, and the amount of expenses was getting bigger and bigger, but the balance every month was not very large.
This was not only something Shen Qiaoan felt strange, but after settling accounts, Chen Huaiyi and Luo Zhiyuan were also dumbfounded.
"It's really strange, when there was no intelligence point before, we were still very rich, how did we become like this now."
"Brother Luo, look, we have to send out so many employee salaries every month."
Over there, Chen Huaiyi showed Luo Zhiyuan the employee's salary, and Chen Huaiyi's accounts were clear at a glance, and there would not be the slightest mistake.
"There weren't so many of them before!"
"Before?"
Chen Huaiyi sighed, got up and poured two cups of tea with a teacup, one for Luo Zhiyuan and one for Shen Qiaoan, "Before, we just bought grains and grains nearby, but the reason why our Dongju Spring is doing well is that the first is Brother Luo's exquisite skills, and the second is Brother Luo's materials." β
"That's true!"
After Luo Zhiyuan took a sip, he said slowly: "The grain must not exceed one year, and each grain must be full and round." β
"The shops that were purchased before, knowing that we are in high demand, not only did they give us cheap, but now the price is much higher than before, I asked the young man to go outside the city to buy yesterday, this back and forth wasted a whole day, hey......"
Chen Huaiyi was at a loss, holding a cup of tea and thinking about it, Shen Qiaoan said: "It's really no business, the problem is here, Brother Luo will see if there is a long-term supply tomorrow, but then again, our demand is indeed a bit large." β
"I'll figure this out." Luo Zhiyuan said again: "Recently, the two of you don't want to go outside, I always feel unsafe." β
"I will never go out, and I will live and die with the hotel." Chen Huaiyi held Shen Qiao'an's hand, Qiao An wanted to struggle, but in the end he let Chen Huaiyi hold it.
All three were exhausted.
Tonight, Chen Huaiyi is still working on the floor outside.
The weather is getting hotter, there are so many mosquitoes outside that it's incredible, just thinking about Qiao An is worried about Chen Huaiyi, but Chen Huaiyi feels that taking care of Shen Qiaoan is a matter of course.
By the next day, they went their separate ways, Qiao An and Chen Huaiyi stayed in the hotel, Qiao An was still at the intelligence point, and the overall business outside was still Chen Huaiyi's, Chen Huaiyi was a good material for doing business, and everyone who served him was very happy.
Waiting for Luo Zhiyuan to come back from outside, but he was hungry and thirsty, Qiao An saw Luo Zhiyuan's gobbling appearance, and hurriedly patted Luo Zhiyuan's back - "Brother Luo, this is my own home, it's not enough for me to remake it for you, just eat slowly." β
"I went to see everywhere today, and those shops are no longer doing business with us, saying that the imperial court has imposed an order, and a hotel of the same name cannot buy more than 200 catties of cereals at a time! Imagine! We have to use thousands of pounds a day, isn't this bullying? β
"So what?" JoAnn wanted to know the next tidbits.
"My vinegar bowl big fist, just ......" Luo Zhiyuan sighed while eating Dongpo's elbow - "Today is also a little impulsive, the wine we have in stock can only be sold for two days, and in two days we will have to go outside the city to get food, which is really troublesome." β
"Has the Imperial Court discovered us?"
"Now, even if we give them a tael of silver and a tael of glutinous rice, they don't dare to sell it privately, not only us, but the old Liang family on the other side is also miserable." Because of this, Shen Qiaoan hurriedly found a liaison, and everyone went to inquire about the news.
