The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 128 Qu Renjie's Secret (6)

Qin Haoou accompanied Xia Jin downstairs, pointed to the man in front of the counter, and said:
"He is Tan Zhimin, the boss of Yazhuxuan!"

Xia Jin looked in the direction Qin Haoou pointed, and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a mustache, thin face, slender eyebrows, thin lips, wearing a long gown, wearing a hanging crown, with the elegance of a scholar dress up.

"Don't look at his elegance on the surface, he's actually just pretending!" Qin Haoou complained.

"Let's hear it." Xia Jin said.

Qin Haoou looked around and lowered his voice:

"Yazhuxuan's boss, Tan Zhimin, is notoriously greedy for money! To say that he is a coquettish literati is to flatter him, but he is actually a self-proclaimed profiteer full of money!"

"The original boss of Yazhuxuan was originally a respectable adult who retired from the scholar's residence. This guy was that adult's groom. Later, because that adult offended someone, Tan Zhimin committed perjury and killed that adult. And he has naturally become the owner of this place!"

"After he became the boss of Yazhuxuan, the taste of this place has changed. It used to be a place for academic exchanges and gatherings of literati, but now it has become a romantic place that looks high-end but is actually corrupt! It's a pity that the luthiers here are all enslaved by him. , has become a tool to make money!"

"I've heard people say that he won't even let that lord's son go! With that young master's talent, it's a pity to be awarded the title of No. [-] young master in the capital!"

"Among the most despised profiteers in our business world, Tan Zhimin is definitely in the top ten!" Qin Haoou said through gritted teeth.

If the master didn't want to investigate the case, otherwise, he would never come to this place!
Especially when he saw Tan Zhimin pretending to be a literati, he wanted to pick up the spatula and beat him up!
"Let's go!" Xia Jin walked over.

Seeing the master passing by, Qin Haoou followed. When he reached the counter, he was recognized by Tan Zhimin at a glance.

"Isn't this Boss Qin from Desheng Building? Didn't he say before that even if he died, he wouldn't come to my rouge-smelling copper-smelling place?" As soon as he came up, Tan Zhimin turned over the old score in a strange way.

Qin Haoou put his arms around his chest and looked contemptuous, "You think it's rare for me to come here! If I hadn't accompanied my teacher...my friend here today, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your place!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the bill is paid off, and the nose is up to the sky? Just to be clear, isn't it because I didn't have money before, so why not come? Now that I have money, I want to come and see the world!" Tan Zhimin played The emerald wrench on the thumb looks smug.

"Come here to see the world in this poor place of yours? You are really small in this world! Otherwise, how can you be a groom! Your vision is really small!" Qin Haoou snorted coldly.

These words seemed to hit Tan Zhimin's sore spot, and he lost his image. He jumped up and cursed: "Children of the Qin family! If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kick you out!"

"Stop arguing!" Xia Jin walked over and put the banknotes on the counter.

Tan Zhimin turned his eyes to the bank note, and saw that the face value was 5 taels!Ordinary banks can't afford such a big account, unless they are rich and powerful!
Being able to have such a large denomination shows that he has a lot of background!
Tan Zhimin's ferocious face changed into a gentle smile, "Guest, who are you looking for?"

"I want to buy a luthier." Xia Jin said.

Tan Zhimin rubbed his hands, "The most valuable thing here is the luthier, and I can sell a few of them every now and then~"

Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, this Tan Zhimin is really a traitor!

"Who does the guest want? I'll arrange for someone to send him to your mansion!" While speaking, he reached out to get the bank note.

"Green clothes!"

As soon as Xia Jin finished speaking, the hand that was going to get the bank note stopped in mid-air!

Tan Zhimin's face became ugly, he retracted his hand embarrassingly, and said, "Change someone!"

"I want green clothes." Xia Jin said.

"Except for the green clothes, you can take away the other luthiers." Tan Zhimin handed the picture album to Xia Jin.

"Guests choose another one to have a look!"

Xia Jin put the album on the table and said, "I don't want anyone except the green clothes!"

Tan Zhimin frowned, "Come here, see off the guests!"

Two strong men came over and blocked in front of the counter.

Xia Jin and Qin Haoou looked at each other, and had no choice but to go out. Once outside, Xia Jin raised her eyes to look upstairs, and saw Lvyi standing by the window, looking at them, as if she had already guessed the result, indifferent And lonely.

Qin Haoou shouted angrily at Tan Zhimin inside: "Tan Zhimin, you are doing it on purpose because you think I don't like it!"

"Let me tell you, if you are capable, don't come to Desheng Tower in the future!"

"Block, I have to block you, I'll go back and write a note today!"

Xia Jin looked at the apprentice she had blown up, and sighed softly, "Let's go back!"

"Ah? Master, we can't just go back like this, we still have to find evidence!" Qin Haoou chased after him.

"Tan Zhimin refuses to put the green clothes on, there must be something wrong with it!" Xia Jin said as she got into the carriage.

Qin Haoou was confused when he heard that, and saw Xia Jin looking outside lightly, and said, "Come over again tonight, if he doesn't sell, we'll rob him!"

Qin Haoou gave a thumbs up, "As expected of my master!"

In the middle of the night, the evening drum was beating, and the curfew time in the capital was up. Whether it was the wine shops open at night or the Hongliu Street with high lanterns, they all turned off their lights and closed their doors.

The silver moonlight shrouded the entire capital city in a pure gray and black color. There were only a few lights, which were as inconspicuous as fireflies in the huge capital city.

Xia Jin was dressed in night clothes and a Li Kui mask on her face, standing on the roof, looking down, her eyes locked in the round hole of the mask on the Yazhuxuan which was closed but lit.

She leaned over and jumped off the roof, turned into a black shadow and appeared on the edge of the window sill of Yazhuxuan, opened the window and landed lightly.

Walking down the corridor, he stopped when he passed a room lit by candles.

"Lvyi, you are so bold!"

Xia Jin lay on the window seat, dipped her fingers in saliva, pierced the window paper and looked in, only to see the green dress lying on the ground, her long hair spread out on the wooden floor, the green gown was torn into a mess, and the surrounding area There are several big men holding wooden sticks in their hands.

Tan Zhimin stood in front of the green clothes, stepped on his chest, and looked down at him.

"The person who came to redeem you today must be someone you bribed! Don't try to leave here, even if you die in this life, you can only die in Yazhuxuan!"

Lvyi turned her eyes slightly, met Xia Jin's gaze, answered the wrong question and said, "I know what you want to know...help me, I'm your man!"

"Who are you talking to!" Tan Zhimin scolded angrily, raising his eyes to look in the direction he was looking.

"Who is there!"

He signaled with a look, the thugs walked over, opened the window with a stick, and looked out, but saw that there was no one there!
Suddenly, someone tapped on the shoulder.

"Are you looking for me?"
