Chapter 608 Missing
Ke Yao: "It's nothing serious, but last time he said he brought in some high-quality hang silk and asked me to come and have a look, why didn't I see it?"

The guy was puzzled when he heard this, and scratched his head: "Hey, why didn't I know about this? I think my shopkeeper was drunk and talking nonsense?"

Ke Yao laughed, thinking that it was not he who was talking nonsense, but I was talking nonsense, and said, "By the way, I heard from shopkeeper Du that your shopkeeper's business has been good recently."

The clerk smiled: "That's true. The winter month will be over soon, and there will be more people making New Year's clothes in the twelfth lunar month. Shopkeeper Du's business is also good. I heard that more than 20 guests came from the direction of the capital. Shopkeeper Du still has some relatives, it seems that he should also enjoy the blessing."

Ke Yao was worried that the clerk would get suspicious if he kept asking questions, so he picked out a few bolts of silk and satin. Anyway, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the wives of Pang Yuqin and Wang Runxue were also going to make new clothes, so it was better to just buy them.

When the man saw this guest officer, he also said that he was a rich man, and he didn't ask the price when he bought things. The happiest thing in business is to meet such a buyer. He was naturally happy, and he would answer whatever Ke Yao asked.

Ke Yao chose Su satin with purple and small floral flowers. She thought Wang Runxue would like such a rich color. Seeing that there were not many stocks in front of the counter, the clerk gave Ke Yao tea and snacks, and then hurried to Find it in the inner room.

When Ke Yao saw the waiter walking in front, he also followed behind.

"What kind of customer came in front, he seemed to want to buy a lot of things, was it the butler of that family, he spoke so loudly?
Ke Yao saw that the guy disappeared after turning a corner, and was in a hurry when he suddenly heard someone talking, so he quickly hid behind a pillar, because the inner room was rather dark, and the other party didn't realize that there was still someone hiding there to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"The young one has never seen this person before. He looks like he is only in his teens, but he has a lot of money, like a kid from a rich family."

Ke Yao recognized that it was the guy who greeted him in front, but the person who asked him didn't know who it was, and the voice sounded like an old man.

"Oh? I asked you to identify the twenty or so new arrivals at the Yunfan Inn, but the people from their side came to inquire about shopkeeper Du's news."

When the man heard what the man said, he seemed very nervous, and even his voice was much quieter. Ke Yao had to lean out and prick up his ears to hear it.

"No, it's a young man, and I've seen it. The man from Du's family lives younger than Mr. Du. The others are either ugly or too old. Women are pretty pretty, but this is a man. of."

Ke Yao held back his laughter, and heard the old man say, "Forget it, quickly give him what he needs and pay the bill to let him go. If you ask shopkeeper Du, you'll know nothing, you know?"

"Don't worry, this little one still understands."

"Well, go ahead, you're the only one in front of the cabinet recently, so I'm sorry for you, don't let people take anything away."

"Yes"

At this time the door opened, and Ke Yao quickly retreated to the dark place. Seeing the clerk walking forward, he didn't dare to go any further. He hurried back to the front hall and sat down drinking tea as if nothing had happened. Ke Yao took out the silk and satin that Ke Yao needed.

Ke Yao didn't ask anything, and knew that he couldn't get anything out of it, so he took out the silver and paid the bill, thinking that he couldn't carry so many things by himself, and it would be a shame to let the clerk give them away, he was hesitating, and suddenly thought of it Come.

"Dude, I'm going to the Yunfan Inn next door to discuss something with Shopkeeper Du, please send me these silks and satins to my home."

The waiter looked distressed, and said falteringly: "Guest officer, it is your duty to send the little one to your home, but recently my shopkeeper is not feeling well, and the other two assistants are both sick and on leave. There is only one small person, this..."

Ke Yao smiled secretly, I knew you couldn't leave, that's why I said that, so I put on a look of not knowing what to do, the clerk stepped forward cautiously, and said softly: "Guest officer, why don't you send these silks and satins to me?" Go to the inn opposite, don’t you want to discuss things with Shopkeeper Du? Wouldn’t it be better to let your family pick it up later?”

Ke Yao pretended to be helpless, and pointed at the clerk: "You really know how to do business. Is it true that you want shopkeeper Du to send it back to me?"

The guy's face was about to burst into laughter, and he bowed to flatter him and said, "Guest officer, you have a lot of adults, and the small ones are indeed..."

Ke Yao shook his hand, impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, since that's the case, put the things with you first, and I'll tell Shopkeeper Du later, and let his buddy come and pick them up."

When the clerk heard this, he immediately thanked Ke Yao repeatedly, and sent Ke Yao out, only to turn back when he saw her step into the Yunfan Inn.

Ke Yao ran upstairs in two or three steps, changed his makeup, and then called Yingzi, and told Yingzi to go to Zhuzi, saying that it was the things bought by the old friend of Shopkeeper Du, Gouzi, and not saying anything else After asking, he said he didn't know. After Haosheng explained, he gave the medicinal materials to Ruoyu to suffer, and went to find Wang Runxue himself.

Wang Runxue was sitting on the bed, covered with a quilt, and was sewing with her head bowed. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head to see Ke Yao in women's attire. Yao pours tea.

Ke Yao wasn't thirsty either. He had been drinking water from Yang's Herbal Medicine Store to the silk and satin village.

"Second Madam, where are my brother and sister?" Ke Yao found a chair with a back and sat in front of Wang Runxue's bed, and asked with only one maid accompanying him.

"I said I won't wait for you. I went to the suburbs to look at the house. How about it? What do you gain?"

Ke Yao then told Wang Runxue what he heard one by one. After Wang Runxue listened, she frowned and put down the needle and thread in her hand. Ke Yao found that it was a small red bellyband, which was probably prepared for Pang Yuqin's newborn child. She is really a careful woman, Ke Yao thought to herself.

"Ke Yao, I feel that something happened to Shopkeeper Du." Wang Runxue said in a low voice.

Ke Yao nodded: "I feel the same way, so I came back to ask you, my brother and my sister for advice. Did that Yang Rui murder him when he saw that shopkeeper Du wanted to give the inn to my brother to open a medicine shop?"

Wang Runxue: "Now we are unfamiliar with the place and place here, so we can't act rashly. In this case, let's go to Qin'er and ask her." As he spoke, he was about to get up.

Ke Yao hurriedly stopped: "No, I think your complexion is still not good, don't get up, I will go and see the eldest lady, if she is not lying down, let her come over."

Wang Runxue: "This is not good, she is the oldest, she is my sister, how can I let her come over?"

Ke Yao smiled slightly: "I don't think Da Furen is an unreasonable person. You are like this, what are you doing up, lie down quickly, and I will be right back." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out the door.

Ruoyun walked in, saw Ke Yao leaving, and said, "What are you going to do, Miss, in such a hurry?"

Wang Runxue smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just go and take care of the medicine on the stove."

Ruoyun: "Sister is watching. Just now, Zhuzi came back from Shopkeeper Wang's silk and satin shop and sighed. He was probably worried about Shopkeeper Du. He hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he went."

Wang Runxue didn't tell the people below to ask Ke Yao to inquire about shopkeeper Du. He was worried that they would talk nonsense and leak the news. Don't worry him too much."

Ruoyun walked out the door in response, at this moment Ke Yao walked over with Pang Yuqin supported.

Two hours later.

Du Wenhao brought Lin Qingdai and Murong Yulan back to the inn, it was already dusk.

"Master, you are back." Yingzi saw Du Wenhao enter the door, and hurried forward to meet him.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Yingzi's nervous expression, Du Wenhao asked quickly.

Yingzi leaned forward and said in a low voice: "A man named Yang Guang came to you with a vicious look. The lady said you were not there, but that man refused to leave. He just stayed in the kitchen in the backyard and drank. Zhuzi was also very scared. of."

Lin Qingdai asked in a low voice, "Is shopkeeper Du back?"

Yingzi shook his head: "No."

Du Wenhao: "What about Ke Yao?"

Yingzi: "I'm back, I've been back a long time ago, I've been in the second lady's room, and the eldest lady is also there, waiting for you to come back."

Du Wenhao glanced at the backyard: "I'll go upstairs to have a look first, don't tell that Yang Guang that I'm back, let the pillar hold on for a while, and I'll come down." After speaking, he went upstairs, Lin Qingdai and Murong Yulan also followed.

In the kitchen, Yang Guang stepped on the ground with one foot and put the other on the table, holding a jug in his hand, leaning back, humming some obscene words, his face was already red , his eyes were also bloodshot, and he looked at the silent pillar sitting in front of the stove with a gloomy face.

"Hey, are you dumb? Why are you talking to you? You don't even fart. I'm asking you. Where's your uncle? Who are you that Du Wenhao?"

Zhu Zi didn't even look at Yang Guang, Yang Guang asked again: "That man named Du Wenhao is said to be a doctor. He is treating you now. Do you really want him to cure your madness?"

"I'm not insane. Master Du said that I got this disease from my mother's womb." Zhu Zi retorted angrily.

Yang Guang laughed: "Hahaha, so your mother is a lunatic, no wonder."

When Zhuzi heard this, he stood up from the stool and stared fiercely at Yang Guang. Yang Guang was not afraid. Ladies, do you still dare to beat me?"

Zhu Zi clenched his lips tightly with his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and his face was pale.

At this moment, Du Wenhao walked in following Lin Qingdai.

Du Wenhao heard the conversation between the two people outside the door. He knew that Zhuzi's illness should not be too excited, so as soon as he entered the door, he asked Lin Qingdai to take Zhuzi out.
