()Liang Shangjunzi was miserable, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't have time, but Chu Huan was already sitting beside him, and asked with a smile, "Brother, what's your surname?"

"This... that...!" The gentleman on Liang Shang hesitated, but felt that the cold dagger seemed to be in his throat, he had no choice but to say: "My surname is Sikong, your surname is your surname?"

"My surname is Chu." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Sikong seems to be very interested in blue and white porcelain. Do you like collecting antiques on weekdays?"

Gentleman Liang Shang was made hairy by the dagger, and he didn't dare to pull the bottle up, so he could only smile wryly: "I rely on this mess to eat. Brother, it's late at night, stop making trouble, quickly put the knife away, what's the matter, we Brother and son, please discuss."

Chu Huan smiled slightly, and said, "Well, I won't delay Brother Sikong either. Brother Sikong, I'll ask you two questions. As long as you answer them correctly, you can leave here safely."

Liang Shangjun hurriedly said, "What's the problem?"

"First question, why did you come to steal the blue and white porcelain vase?" Chu Huan stared at the gentleman on the beam, and while speaking, tore off the veil that covered his nose and mouth, revealing a face with a mustache. The face is thin, but the eyes look sharp, "I believe Brother Sikong probably doesn't need this bottle for himself." . .

Before Liang Shangjun could speak, he felt the dagger on his neck tighten. He heard Chu Huan's kind reminder, "Brother Sikong, you must think twice before answering the question. I have poor patience and get excited easily. Once you answer wrong , I got excited, my hand trembled like this...!" His hand really trembled, and it had already scratched the skin of Junzi Liangshang, oozing a trace of blood, Junzi Liangshang felt the liquid flow out of his skin, trembling with fear, He lost his voice: "Don't... I was asked to come by someone else."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Hua Yinzi let you come?"

"Someone came to me and was willing to pay 1000 taels of silver to buy a vase." Gentleman Liang Shang felt that he was already in a state of life and death, and immediately burst out with sincerity, hoping to influence Chu Huan by this: "He gave me a copy of Xingyuan I'll show you the topographic map of the land...!" Mr. Sikong was about to reach for it, but Chu Huan shook his head to signal him not to act rashly, and reached into his arms, touched something, took it out to look, and sure enough It is a blueprint, which completely outlines the terrain of Xingyuan, and even clearly marks where he lives.

"Second question, who paid you to steal the blue and white porcelain vase?" Chu Huan asked softly.

Junzi Sikong said without hesitation: "I don't know!"

"He's a man." Chu Huan nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes, "So you are a tough guy."

"No, no." Sikong Junzi said anxiously: "Brother, don't do anything, I mean it, I really don't know who he is."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "That's strange, you don't even know who that person is, but how can you do things for him?"

Mr. Sikong explained: "This afternoon, someone came to me and asked me to steal something. He promised that as long as he got the bottle, he would give out 1000 taels of silver. I felt strange at the time, thinking that what he was going to steal was precious. Antiques, but he showed me the appearance of the blue and white porcelain vase, and told me that it was not something expensive. He just wanted the bottle. In our business, we can ask as little as we can, as long as we take the silver. He paid a deposit of 100 taels of silver, and when I get the bottle, I will exchange the bottle for the remaining 900 taels." Seeing Chu Huan frowning, he hurriedly said: "I didn't say a single lie, it's all true Yes, I'm still wondering, that bottle doesn't look like a good thing, why is it worth 1000 taels...!"

Chu Huan stared into Sikong Junzi's eyes expressionlessly. After a while, he asked, "What does the person looking for you look like?"

"A very ordinary person." Sikong Junzi said: "Skinny, I only had a short time with him, and after the deal was made, he left in a hurry."

Then Chu Huan said: "Then how can you find him after you get the bottle?"

Mr. Sikong wondered: "There are rules in the industry, brother, I have told you what I should tell you, I still want to hang around in this industry, some rules have to be followed, so don't make things difficult for me."

Chu Huan sighed and asked, "Do you know who lives down here?"

Junzi Sikong shook his head, "The people who live here should all be officials?"

"That's right." Chu Huan nodded slightly, "The people living here are imperial envoys from the capital."

Mr. Sikong was stunned, but Chu Huan had already continued: "You should understand what the imperial envoy means? If he knew that someone was stealing things from his roof in the middle of the night, would you have thought about what would happen? Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will Let you understand, as long as my voice is louder, the imperial envoy below will definitely hear it, if you are arrested, have you thought about what crime you have committed?"

Cold sweat broke out on Sikong Junzi's forehead, "If I stole a bottle from him, he won't take my life?"

"You are really right." Chu Huan sighed: "The high-ranking officials in the capital have very bad tempers, and they have never been soft-hearted when killing people. You said you just stole a bottle? Your thinking is too simple, midnight , hiding on the roof of the imperial envoy, even if you just want to steal something, you will definitely be convicted of assassination? You should understand the crime of assassination?" Chu Huan made a knife with one hand and made a chop With the posture of his head, Mr. Sikong suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his whole body burst into cold sweat.

Chu Huan looked down at the entrance of the cave, and finally said: "You are guilty of assassination, and I have merit in arresting you, brother Sikong, I'm sorry." Opening his mouth to shout, Sikong gentleman has already fired like a cannonball: "Fuquan Teahouse, As soon as Fuquan Teahouse opens tomorrow, I will take the bottle to Fuquan Teahouse and wait for him, and he will bring money to exchange for this bottle."

Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is honest, so naturally I can't be disrespectful. Brother Sikong and I hit it off right away. I wonder if Brother Sikong would like to be my friend?"

Sikong Junzi said awkwardly: "It's a high climb!"

"So, brother Sikong is willing to make me this friend?"

"Heroes don't dislike it, I... I am naturally willing!"

"Okay, Brother Sikong is indeed a man of love, happy." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Sikong, from now on, you and I will be friends. If you have anything to do, feel free to speak up."

Mr. Sikong could only say politely: "Brother Chu, if there is something useful in the future, feel free to speak up."

"Okay." Chu Huan said kindly: "Since Brother Sikong said so, then I will not be polite. I just want Brother Sikong to help with something. We are friends, and Brother Sikong will definitely not refuse."

Junzi Sikong opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

……

……

A sudden heavy snow fell on Taiyuan Mansion suddenly. In the morning light, there were white snowflakes floating in the sky. This is the first snow of this year.

Fuquan Teahouse is located in the east of Taiyuan City. Actually, it is not a good place. It is just an ordinary teahouse. Pedestrians are tired from shopping, so they sit in this teahouse, make a pot of tea, and order a few dishes of snacks. It is indeed a good place for entertainment to read the anecdotes of unofficial history, ghosts and foxes, strange cases of the past and the present, told by storytellers in the teahouse.

Fuquan Teahouse opened very early. Although the business of the teahouse was the most prosperous at noon, the businessmen were never afraid to open the door early. The storyteller hadn't arrived yet, but Mr. Sikong had already arrived.

He was holding a wooden box in his hand. When Fuquan Teahouse opened, he was the first customer in the shop. Snowflakes were still falling outside. The shop assistant welcomed Mr. Sikong into the teahouse. He sat down at a table next to the gate, put the wooden box by his feet, asked the waiter to serve a batch of boiling hot tea and two plates of snacks, and waited anxiously and anxiously.

From time to time, he pressed his hands to his abdomen, deep in his eyes, the color of fear flashed from time to time.

The new friend I knew was really cruel and merciless, afraid that he would be disobedient, so he let a strange bug stung his arm.

The strange insect was green in color, and it was not a good thing at first glance. The friend Chu told him very clearly that after the incident was completed, the antidote would be delivered immediately. Once something happened, the poison would invade the whole body, especially the internal organs. will slowly fester.

Sikong Junzi kept cursing the new friend he knew to die in his heart, he even had a faint feeling that his internal organs seemed to be festering.

He has nothing else to ask for now, he just hopes that the person he traded with will show up sooner, complete the task assigned by his friend, and get the antidote sooner.

He knew that his new friend must be nearby, but he didn't know where the new friend was hiding.

Of course he didn't know that Chu Huan knew his movements like the palm of his hand at this time. He was sitting in a restaurant diagonally opposite the Fuquan Inn, and Chu Huan was sitting by the window.

Snowflakes were flying outside, and a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the streets.

Chu Huan was dressed in a very ordinary cotton robe and a cotton cap on his head, which was not very eye-catching.

Sikong Junzi has tea and snacks on the table, but he has no intention of eating them at this time. Chu Huan has wine and vegetables on the table, and eats small dishes with the wine. The body is also very warm.

As time passed, Chu Huan could hold his breath, but Junzi Sikong couldn't. He was fidgeting, and the time agreed with the person to be connected had already passed, but he still didn't see him coming.

Could it be that the other party regretted it? 1000 taels of silver are just for a blue and white porcelain vase.

But since the other party has already paid a deposit of 100 taels of silver, is it possible to let the 100 taels of silver go to waste?

Mr. Sikong was fidgeting, but there were already more pedestrians on the street.

Chu Huan also began to lose his composure. He waited in the restaurant for more than an hour, and Chu Huan paid close attention to everyone who passed by the door of Fuquan Tea Shop.

He was sure that Mr. Sikong hadn't lied, but the person who was going for the appointment didn't show up for a long time, did the other party find out something?

Chu Huan frowned slightly. At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Chu Huan turned his head to look, but saw a person coming up from downstairs. When he saw that person, Chu Huan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flashed Surprised.
