Xiao Qi followed the little father-in-law called Xiao Shengzi out of the Caoyun Yamen, so he called another subordinate to continue to follow, and he immediately went back to Yanyu Building to inform Yang Huairen of the situation.

"Little son?"

Yang Huairen muttered, trying to find clues about this little son from his memories. But he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember that there was such a little father-in-law in the palace.

It's no wonder that there are more fifteen or sixteen-year-old fathers-in-law in the palace, especially these fathers-in-law in the harem, Yang Huairen doesn't often run to the palace, so naturally he has no impression.

As for Xiaoshengzi's life experience, Yang Huairen felt that he was a little pitiful, except for those masters in the harem, those who were eunuchs and palace maids were really cheap.

Those ladies in the harem have been making up all day long, and there are a few unlucky little eunuchs like Xiaoshengzi, which is too normal.

He turned to Guan Qiuli, "You just came out of the palace not long ago, what is your impression of this little son-in-law?" ”

Guan Qiuli shook his head, "How many of the people in the harem have names?" If we met, I might still be familiar, but I can't remember the name just by hearing it. ”

Xiao Qi roughly described the appearance of Xiaoshengzi to him, and finally deliberately said, "By the way, he is lame, his right leg is a little unstable, and he walks with a limp." ”

Guan Qiuli still shook his head, "I can't count the eunuchs and palace maids who died in the palace in the year, and a lame little father-in-law will not attract attention at all."

But a lame father-in-law......" Guan Qiuli subconsciously looked at his stump leg, "If it weren't for the master's care, it would be difficult to continue to stay in the palace, and it was very common to send them to the place to serve those fathers-in-law who were in charge." ”

Yang Huairen said, "Then this little boy was sent to the Caoyun Yamen to serve Zhao Xianqiu because of his lameness." ”

Then he turned to Xiao Qi, "If, as Brother Xiao Qi said, this little boy is very respected and trusted by Zhao Xianqiu, then he must know a lot of things we want." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head, "Zhao Xianqiu mentioned an account book, and just now he told Xiao Shengzi's father-in-law to go out to do errands, saying that he came according to the arrangement in the account book."

Listening to the meaning, this ledger is not unexpected, it should be Zhao Xianqiu's secret ledger, either the ledger where he collects money, or the ledger where he sends money.

No matter which one it is, if we can get this account book, I believe that we can dig out many people and things from it, and add a lot of evidence to our deal with Zhao Xianqiu. ”

"That's right," Yang Huairen said, "It's naturally good to have an account book, but just a account book is still not enough, where Zhao Xianqiu hid money, how is it going?" ”

Xiao Qidao, "I have sent all the Fengshenwei out to investigate, as long as it is a person and place related to Zhao Xianqiu, there are people watching, no matter where there is anything unusual, we will know the news immediately." ”

Yang Huairen nodded in approval, "The bait has been laid, whether the fish bite or not, maybe we will see it in these two days."

Judging from the meaning of Zhao Xianqiu's words, if he wants to use money to deal with our brothers, he must take money from his secret small treasury.

He won't do it himself, he must have arranged for someone else he trusts to do it, if this person is a little son's father-in-law, I think we may have a big breakthrough.

As for this little son-in-law, let's see if we can win him as a tainted witness, and it is not difficult to grant him some benefits. ”

Xiao Qidao, "I will command people to follow him." ”

……

The next day, Fengshenwei reported that Xiao Shengzi went back to his residence directly last night and did not contact other people, as for whether the account book was on him or not, it should be judged to be there, but because he didn't see it with his own eyes, no one dared to be sure.

And Zhao Xianqiu's side, he was still distressed for the money, and it was too late to go to the yamen this morning, and he heard that there was no forbidden army to visit again today, so it was a little easier.

Xiao Qi decided to follow this little boy personally, because even during the day, his appearance is very hidden, and pretending to be a little beggar or a child will not arouse the suspicion of others.

……

Fengxiang Tea House.

Xiaoshengzi's father-in-law did not go to work on an errand today, but changed into a regular suit and came to the teahouse early in the morning to drink tea.

Fengxiang Tea House has two floors, the first floor receives individual guests, there are many people in and out, three religions and nine streams, most of them are men who eat a bowl of coarse tea and are busy making a living.

The second floor is much more elegant and quiet, there are not many guests in the morning, there are a few idlers and old men around a table to play chess, drinking tea and playing chess in the leisurely time, but very good at enjoying the old life.

Of course, the guests who can go to Fengxiang Teahouse to drink tea are all regular customers, and they are all rich and noble people with a little property.

Xiao Shengzi was invited upstairs by the second brother, it seems that he should be a regular customer here, as soon as he went upstairs, he walked directly to a table by the window along the street, sat down and asked for a pot of tea before the rain, and then drank it slowly, looking leisurely.

Xiao Qi and Feng Shenwei's people looked through the window on the second floor of a dental shop diagonally across from the Fengxiang Teahouse.

Xiao Qi was a little confused, Zhao Xianqiu arranged for Xiao Shengzi to do a good job of giving gifts within three days, he didn't go to be busy, but came to Fengxiang Teahouse early in the morning to drink tea.

However, it is suspicious that this street is next door to Dongguan Street, not far from the place where Huang Million and Baiyinhai were rich and silver.

Xiao Qi felt that this special place was still suspicious, but after Xiao Shengzi went upstairs, he just sat there quietly drinking tea, and looked at the flow of people coming and going on the street downstairs from time to time, and there was no other action.

Could it be that he is waiting for someone? Xiao Qi pondered, it is likely to be like this, even if Xiao Shengzi, as a person next to Zhao Xianqiu, may not know the location of Zhao Xianqiu's treasury.

Zhao Xianqiu is so cautious, from collecting cash, to transmitting information, to storing silver, all of them are closely connected, but they are independent, and no one knows how his entire chain of interests works.

Xiao Shengzi is just one of them, and he should be the one who is responsible for running errands and delivering messages, he came to Fengxiang Teahouse, he should have contacted the shopkeeper Kang mentioned by Zhao Xianqiu yesterday.

Who is the shopkeeper Kang, even the Fengshenwei of Yangzhou has no impression, among the businessmen with heads and faces in the city, there is no surname Kang, maybe the name of the shopkeeper Kang is just a code name, it does not mean that he is a trader.

Time passed little by little, and Dr. Tea had already added hot water to Xiao Shengzi's teapot three times, but the shopkeeper Kang still did not appear.

Xiao Qi looked up at the sun, it was almost noon, Xiao Shengzi had been sitting in Fengxiang Teahouse all morning, what was he doing?
