Chapter 46: Exploration
The third more sent, begging for collection.

Qin Dalang entered Su Ji's ready-to-wear shop with a swollen mouth, and a few guys who came early were busy cleaning and wiping the counter tables and chairs, sorting out fabrics and semi-finished clothes.
The tailor master who introduced Qin Dalang into Su Ji was named Liu Dacheng, Qin Dalang had no relatives in Luzhou, Liu Dacheng paid special attention to him out of the righteousness of his friends, and when he saw Qin Dalang's swollen mouth, he stepped forward and pointed to Qin Dalang's face and asked with concern: "Dalang, what's wrong?" Why is the face swollen like this? ”
Qin Dalang covered half of his face and said vaguely: "Toothache...... Fire ......"
"Oh......" Liu Dacheng was a little puzzled, the redness, swelling and purple swelling didn't look like a toothache on fire, but since people didn't want to say it, it was inconvenient to ask more, after all, it was just a friend relationship.
"Prescribe some medicine to clear the heat and take it, do you want me to ask the shopkeeper Zhao to help you take a leave of absence for two days and recuperate?"
"What kind of illness is a toothache, thank you Brother Liu, you are busy, don't care about ......me" Qin Dalang didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, his mouth and neck hurt when he spoke, and he really didn't want to open his mouth more.
Liu Dacheng left in confusion and tidied up his tailor's plate, Qin Dalang came to his own bench in the corner, and was indignant in his heart: "These straight thieves are too heavy, and they don't hit people in the face, but they want to slap Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu can't see people." ”
Thinking of last night's situation, Qin Dalang was resentful and terrified, just climbed onto the body of Xiao Chunxiang, who was dripping with water in "Begonia Garden", and was pulled down by several big men from the fragrant Xiao Chunxiang's body, and the gang beat him violently with punches and kicks, and at the end he slapped more than a dozen big mouths despite his begging; What's even more annoying is that the little bitch Chunxiang, who was still called 'uncle, uncle' just now, was very happy to watch it with a smile on the side.
Mother's comparison, I actually lost face in front of the bitch, and I can't go to Begonia Garden in the future; After the gang finished pumping his mouth, he shook off a sentence fiercely: "Scar Ye asked us to bring you a message, if there is no more valuable news within three days, they will cut off this bane under your crotch and teach you to be a eunuch from now on." ”
Qin Dalang was shocked and angry, is it so easy to be a spy? Su Ji is very strict in management, each person is only responsible for making one kind of clothes, and he is responsible for the most common kind of silk shirt on the market, as long as the clothes made by other people are formed, they will be immediately taken to the side room by the apprentice for ironing and accessories, and there is no chance to conduct serious research at all, how can this find out what Scarface needs?
Qin Dalang thought about it, only to take risks, to peep at the adventures and save his life. Of course, he did not hesitate to choose the latter.
Qin Dalang seemed very active for several days, and after finishing his day's work quickly, he also actively helped the warehouse to carry the fabrics back and forth, or actively helped other masters to help, so as to watch the production methods of other clothes.
His behavior attracted the attention of Zhao Da's shopkeeper, who clearly emphasized that except for those who were qualified to enter, no one else was allowed to enter the warehouse, why did Qin Dalang still actively help move things in and out of the warehouse; Obviously, in the admonition every morning, it is emphasized that it is not allowed to work in tandem during working hours, but Qin Dalang still has to enthusiastically help other masters.
The big shopkeepers of Su Ji, who have experienced the disaster of undercover, have a particularly fresh memory of this painful memory, and it is precisely because of this that Su Ji has formulated mechanisms such as one person and one post, one person and one type of clothing, no string posts, and no inquiry into Su Ji affairs that have nothing to do with him.
Qin Dalang's behavior can be understood as a newcomer who doesn't know much about Su Ji's rules, but after several hints and reminders, Qin Dalang is still like this, which is a bit unusual.
Zhao Da's shopkeeper secretly called the introducer Liu Dacheng to listen to Qin Dalang's details from the side, Liu Dacheng is also a smart person, as soon as Zhao Dacheng opened his mouth, he knew that Zhao Dalang was suspicious of Qin Dalang; He is also the old man of Su Ji, and he is currently a small foreman of the newly recruited tailor master, and his monthly salary is quite rich.
Although he had not experienced the incident of Tang San's undercover Su Ji Buzhuang ten years ago, he vaguely knew something from the words of others, especially that day when Zhang Rongqin exposed this past incident in public, which made an old man like him have a deep understanding of the strange regulations in the store rules.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I understand what you mean, you have something to say, no matter what, I, Liu Dacheng, stand on Su Ji's side." Liu Dacheng quickly expressed his attitude.
Speaking of which, Zhao Da's shopkeeper no longer hides it, as the chief shopkeeper of two ready-to-wear shops, his responsibility is huge, Su Jin relies on him very much, if he is not careful, there is a leak in the store, wouldn't he live up to the trust of the young owner.
"Let's tell you the truth, the old man suspects that Qin Dalang is not behaving properly, his behavior has been quite surprising recently, so he came to ask you about his details, the old man knows that this matter has nothing to do with you, but people are introduced by you, and you always have to take some responsibility; The young owner is not thin on you and me. ”
Liu Dacheng carefully recalled Qin Dalang's behavior in the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he said: "I am not close friends with him, I only know that he is alone, and he went to work in Sun Ji Garment Shop in Wuhu City at the request of someone back then, and met him there; When I was alone, Qin Dalang was also enthusiastic to talk to me, and also helped me a lot, so I made friends; I haven't seen him for about four years since I returned to Luzhou City, and this time Su Ji recruited a tailor master, and I recommended him, firstly, because his craftsmanship is really good, and secondly, it is also to repay him for taking care of me in the year. ”
Liu Dacheng was also frank, and did not shy away from taking care of Qin Dalang in return, and there was some apology in his words.
"This is human nature, Master Liu should not blame himself, he has not yet determined what kind of person Qin Dalang is, and he is not busy drawing conclusions." Shopkeeper Zhao comforted.
"Great treasurer, how about I take a look in secret? First, I can really find out whether Qin Dalang is an internal ghost, and second, I can also atone for my sins and relieve the guilt in my heart. ”
Zhao Da shopkeeper smiled: "According to what you say, but don't startle the snake, once it is determined that he is really an inner ghost who eats inside and outside, he must not make a noise, and this matter must be reported to the young owner for decision." ”
Liu Dacheng nodded and said: "The villain can save it, the big shopkeeper can rest assured, once the clues are found, I will immediately report to the big shopkeeper." ”
……
For several days in a row, Liu Dacheng became a part-time servant, he was very conflicted, he didn't want to find anything, but also hoped to find something, as the person he introduced, of course he hoped that Qin Dalang was just out of ignorance of the store rules, or was enthusiastic and nosy.
After following for four nights in a row, Liu Dacheng was disappointed, except for one night, Qin Dalang stayed in the inn to sleep, and for the other three days, Qin Dalang went to the Qinglou to stay until late at night, and then he went out home with the smell of wine in the laughter and scolding of the warblers and swallows.
Qin Dalang has completely become a person he doesn't know, and the honest and helpful Qin Dalang in his eyes no longer exists; For a bachelor, it is understandable to go to the kiln, but like Qin Dalang, who sings every night, how much furniture should it take for him to squander, and he doesn't want to have fun without a night of money in the gold cave, is Qin Dalang going in as a spectator? No one believes it if they are killed!
The question is, where does the money come from?
Before Qin Dalang entered Suji, Liu Dacheng chatted with him and drank alcohol, and he learned that Qin Dalang did not have much savings for so many years, and his net worth that even the Hun family could not afford would not exceed ten yuan. Qin Dalang's hard-working savings for half a lifetime are mostly consumed on the wine table and gambling games, this person loves to drink, and he also plays two games on weekdays, compared to his meager income, these two things can exhaust his savings.
Is it a windfall? At the gambling table, I suddenly got proud and won a lot of money, so I squandered it?
This possibility cannot be ruled out, so on the evening of the fifth day, in order to get a more realistic judgment, Liu Dacheng decided to show up to visit, after finishing work in the evening, he cleaned up a little, carried a pot of wine, bought half a catty of beef in Liuwei Zhai, and rushed to the inn rented by Qin Dalang in the north of the city, ready to have a deep talk with Qin Dalang.
