"Hey--"

Fifth Aunt called out to his back as he was going upstairs, but when she saw that he was going up without looking back, she quieted down, showed a shrewd smile, took the bank note, and went to the back kitchen.

As Su Shou walked up the stairs, he had already scanned the environment of the small inn. When he reached the upper floor, Wu Chun and the man also arrived. The man came down to the door of one of the rooms and knocked on the door. .

There was a moment of silence inside the door, and then a young male voice came: "Who is that?"

The man said: "Yes, it's me, the servant of the Liu family in Cangzhou, who just met you this morning."

After a while, footsteps were heard in the house.

Everyone in the corridor held their breath, and then, the door opened, revealing a tall and vigorous figure with a half-face mask on his face.

Su Shou looked at this man, from his body to his face, then from his face to his clothes, and finally settled on his clear eyes.Obviously this is a talented young man.His clear eyes showed that he was still a calm young man who had seen the world.But from his clenched fists hanging by his side, it can be seen that he should be used to obeying orders.

Su Shou knew that this could not be a ghost's hand, so he lowered his eyes halfway, motioning for the man to answer.

The man bowed his waist and said: "My lord, this is a friend of our boss. After seeing the lock made by Mr. Guishou, I also want to come to ask Mr. Guishou for a lock. Please let me know."

The grimace boy looked at Su Shou immediately, his eyes were very calm, and he was displeased after watching: "Who told you to bring people here casually? Don't you know our rules?"

Su Shou looked at him with such an expression that he had not only seen the world, but also seemed to have been used to a master with status all along. Could it be that this ghost hand really had an extraordinary background?

"My lord, you are accommodating, this master is sincerely asking for you."

The man should be careful.

The grimaced man said impatiently, "Okay, just wait here. I'll go ask first."

After speaking, he slapped the door and closed it again.

Wu Chun was very angry: "What's the origin of this? It's such a big air?"

The man stretched out his hand to comfort him: "My lord, keep your voice down. This is a famous ghost hand man. It's good if he agrees to report."

Su Shou was very uncomfortable hearing this.His Su family's lock technology is famous all over the world, when will it be his turn to call him "big name" in front of him?But now the descendants of the Su family are unworthy and cannot afford the great reputation left by their ancestors. Now that a junior with unknown background has stolen the limelight, it is really like being bullied by shrimps in the shallows of Longyou, and bullied by dogs in Pingyang.Looking at the closed room for a moment, he was speechless and stunned.

There are two rooms in the house, the inside and the outside, but the connecting door is relatively hidden, and it is blocked by a screen, so you can't see it at all.

Su Ruo drank half a cup of tea in the inner room, and Qin Ye, who had been leaning against the wall and listening, turned around and said, "Tian Song is here!"

Su Ruo put tea, and sure enough, when the door was pushed, Tian Song, the guard sent by Han Mo, took off his grimace mask and walked in: "Here we come, Mr. Su came in person. Sure enough, as soon as he came, he asked to see the ghost's hand for a lock." .”

Fusang raised his heart: "Did you see it?"

"Of course we can't see each other." Su Ruo said, "You invite him to the house, and then do as we agreed before."...

Tian Song squeezed his chin and hissed: "But I think Mr. Su is not kind. What if he breaks in?"

"I'm not afraid of breaking in." Qin Ye looked behind, "The fifth aunt is here for a ride, in her territory, I can't catch it. Besides, the most troublesome thing for Mr. Su at the moment is not the ghost's hands. I'm more anxious to solve it after catching the ghost, I bet he won't be so reckless."

Tian Song nodded: "That's fine."

After speaking, put on the mask and go.

Su Shou and the others outside waited for only a moment, but it seemed that it was too long. Finally, the door opened, but the ghost-faced man said: "Come in, everyone."

】

Seeing this, Wu Chun walked into the house first, and after looking around, he bowed to welcome Su Shou in at the door.

This is a very ordinary room with a screen on the east side. Although you can't see the situation there, it is easy to guess that there is another room inside.And they have tracked it down for a long time, and the "ghost hand" regarded by the people of the capital as the Taoist lock god, is inside at this moment!

For Su Shou, who can bear his temper, at this moment, there is still a trace of blood floating.

"Sir, please sit down."

Tian Songdang sat down on the main seat in the room, and then spread his hands to Su Shou, making an invitation gesture.

Su Shou said, "Why is Mr. Ghost Hand missing?"

Tian Song said lightly: "My master never sees guests, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Oh?" Su Shou said, "Then your master is quite disciplined."

"My master may not be able to compare with my master's status, but in Suo Dao, you can still say that you have never been afraid of anyone. Isn't it because of my master's reputation that you have found this place on purpose?"

Wu Chun was displeased by his arrogant attitude, and immediately said coldly: "What a big Haikou, since you are so capable, why do you want to hide your head and show your tail?"

"My husband just doesn't like dealing with people."

Wu Chunxi said: "Is it because you don't like to deal with people, or because there is a famous Sujia Tiangong Workshop in the capital, you dare not show up?"

Tian Song cast his eyes over the past: "Is this gentleman here to ask for a lock, or is he here to ask for annoyance?"

Su Shou immediately glanced at Wu Chun, and the man next to him also pulled him, and Wu Chun closed his lips.

Su Shou looked at Tian Song: "Of course I'm here to buy locks. But since Ghost Hand never deals with people, how can I be sure that your master is indeed Ghost Hand?"

Hearing this, Tian Song took out an extremely delicate copper lock the size of a copper coin from his sleeve: "Have you seen such a lock elsewhere, sir?"

Su Shou put the locks in his hands, and saw that they were about the same size, but each one had its own exquisiteness. Not to mention him, an expert, even ordinary people could see that they were outstanding when holding them in their hands.He hadn't seen such a lock in Tiangongfang for a long time.He turned to the bottom of the lock, and the emblem of "ghost hand" engraved on it was clearly visible, and it was the same as the emblems of other locks made by ghost hands.

"Sir appears to be an expert. Is it possible to be sure now?"

Under his urging, Su Shou put down the lock.Then he said: "It seems that I am lucky. No one in the capital can see the ghost hand of the true face. I can meet it just one step away."

Tian Song raised his lips: "It's really a good luck. If you come a little late, my husband won't be able to see me. Since you want to make locks, you should know that my master's locks are not cheap. Have you brought the money?"

Su Shou reached out to Wu Chun, took over a stack of thick bank notes, and put them on the table. "Here is 500 taels."

Tian Song reached out to take it.Su Shou held it down.

Tian Song raised his eyebrows: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Su Shou said: "I have the silver. But do you know that buying and selling private copper is against the law?"

Tian Song paused, and his voice was displeased: "What do you want, sir?"

Su Shou stroked his hands, and said in a slow voice: "The imperial court has a law. Private mining, as well as buying and selling copper and iron, must be punished. If it is severe, it will be served in prison, and if it is light, it will be fined. Two, as far as I know, in the past few months since Ghost Hand debuted, at least a dozen locks have been sold, involving tens of thousands of silver taels, do you know what should you do with this sum of money?"

As expected of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was born as a Jinshi, what he said was calm and heavy, and the atmosphere in the room immediately froze!

Looking at the grimacing man who froze immediately, and Wu Chun who was beside him clenched his fists, they both took a deep breath in relief.
