I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 170 Beginning and Ending

"Yes, yes." The guards responded quickly. Although they did not see what the coachman took to show the steward, they all saw that the steward was frightened and sent people to help.

The female steward turned back, but unexpectedly heard Shen Xiaoye's voice behind her, "Madam, can you please have a word with me for a moment?"

It turned out that she had not walked far when she realized that she had forgotten to ask some testimonies. Although she was not required to do this work, she would feel at peace only if she had a beginning and an end.

"Sir, I'm very busy here. The water pavilion in the back still needs to be renovated." The housekeeper responded helplessly.

Shen Xiaoye pretended not to hear her reason, but motioned for her to follow him to the mule cart halfway along the road, and then looked around to see if there were any people passing by before saying, "Does that eunuch often meet here with the person he met today?

Of course, you don’t have to tell me, and my people can take you to a special place to tell me later.”

The brothel was a government-run business, and the female manager had long heard about the interrogation methods used by the Guards. She was startled and told Shen Xiaoye a lot of things.

"I see, you should go back and stay at home for the time being. Be ready to be called in to testify at any time." After Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, she panicked: "Girl, I have told you everything I know.

No need to go there again, right?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the purse at his waist and poured out the gold and silver ingots inside to present to him.

"Golden peanuts." The little black cat liked it. Fortunately, it only meowed twice and didn't speak any human words. Instead, it reached out to grab the gold and silver in the other's hand.

But Shen Xiaoye held down its claws in time and said to the shopkeeper, "No need."

But just as she turned to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned back abruptly, which made the housekeeper nervous.

Then he just asked: "Are you buying blue cotton cloth for the workers down there?"

"Ah?!" The female manager didn't know what she meant for a moment, so she forced a smile and said, "You want one too?"

"No, I sell them. Red, green, lotus root, white, all kinds.

Thirty feet and two feet long, if there are more than a hundred pieces, it will be charged at three cents per piece. "Shen Xiaoye's eyes were full of light, and he smiled.

The housekeeper shook her head halfway, then stopped thinking and asked, "Fifty rolls of blue cloth and fifty rolls of red cloth."

Anyway, it was not expensive and the excuse for asking for a bribe was novel, so she just regarded it as a gift to this person.

"The red cloth is sold out, but fifty pieces of green cloth will be delivered to you later. Goodbye!" Shen Xiaoye happily drove away.

The female manager stood between the two brothels, feeling a little frightened. She still wanted to come?

Shen Xiaoye didn't know that she was imagining too much and misunderstood her own meaning, so she was quite happy to make a small order.

But once he turned out of the alley and headed for the street market in the back lane, he patted the little black cat and whispered, "I feel that the housekeeper's attitude is very different before and after."

Little Black Cat transmitted: "Your rescuer showed her a sign, and she became very respectful."

She asked again: "What brand? Have you seen it before?"

"Well... the same ones used to hang those people who caught you and Lu Guan before." The little black cat has always had a good memory.

Shen Xiaoye understood that the Guard Bureau was everywhere. He hoped that the emperor would not set up similar departments in the future.

"Oh, we have to go to the camp soon. I wonder where my uncle and the others are now?" In fact, she knew a thing or two about the topography of the capital and its surrounding areas from her uncle.

It’s just that the actual combat training site is nearby, but I just don’t know which route to take.

However, even after arresting two suspected spies, she was still refused entry to the camp.

Bian Xian said embarrassedly: "Excuse me young lady, you are different from some of the families who live in the camp and wash things. It is best to stay away from those young people in the camp."

"It's okay." Shen Xiaoye was still busy with her business, and the first thing she said was going home. Of course, she was talking about Lu Guan's home.

My family has not found a suitable house to buy in Beijing yet, and there were basically no transactions in the days before the New Year.

"I'll take the girl away, and the other two are protected by Brother Sun and the others." Bian Xian thought clearly that if there were any accomplices of Feng Jiu who had not been caught and suddenly showed up and injured Miss Shen, he would be held accountable.

Shen Xiaoye hesitated for a moment, "Sorry to bother you, Brother Bian."

"No need to be so polite." Bian Xian then acted as a coachman and escorted Shen Xiaoye back.

Unexpectedly, just after arriving at Lu's house and meeting her uncle Shen Changshou, Shen Xiaoye had to go out again, bringing with her a lot of cloth.

Shen Changshou was most happy to sell cloth. You know, Shopkeeper Miao helped transport 500 pieces of cloth into the capital, so he had no obligation to help sell it. So it might be better to rely on one's own people to do business. She said, "I'll go deliver the goods."

"Uncle, you still have to go around East City and see if there are any families that need cloth, and then come to ..." Shen Xiaoye stated some of his requests in detail, and drove away without waiting for Yuan's sugar and tea to be delivered.

I almost forgot Bian Xian at the door.

Not long after, when he went to the brothel again, Bian Xian couldn't help but glance at the cloth on the cart and asked, "Girl, do you dare to do business with the people here?"

"Why not? Don't they want to pay?" Shen Xiaoye asked back.

Bian Xian: “You are right.”

Because the deal was so simple, it was completed quickly.

Shen Xiaoye asked: "Brother Bian, do you know where the Lu Mansion is?"

"I know." Bian Xian left quickly. He was an ordinary person who couldn't save much money. He was afraid that if he smelled too much fragrance from the brothels, he would have delusions.

Shen Xiaoye noticed that he was not in a good state, so he didn't say much along the way. He turned into an alley and found Lu's mansion.

She told Menzi that she was looking for Xuanshen, and he asked her to wait and send someone to get it.

Shen Xiaoye was wandering with his hands behind his back not far from the gate of Lu's mansion, watching a sedan chair coming from afar and trying to enter through the side door.

But when he passed by her, he suddenly stopped. The doorman hurried out to greet him and bowed. The maid in front of the sedan chair rewarded him with a purse and said a few words.

Although Shen Xiaoye was far away, she intuitively felt that they were talking about her.

Sure enough, not long after the maid returned to the sedan chair, the person in the sedan chair opened the small window and looked at her.

Shen Xiaoye was not sure whether the beautiful woman behind the window was Lu Guan's cousin. She clasped her fists and bowed without saying a word.

The other party raised an eyebrow: "You, are you living in Guandi's private residence?"

"I rented it." Shen Xiaoye paid charcoal instead of cash. She asked, "Have you seen me?"

"No, but you just talked to Menzi.

Little girl, Brother Guan is still young, it is not appropriate for you to rent his house." Beautiful people may not always speak beautifully. She only knew that Lu Guan's friend was staying in a private house, but she did not know that his friend was a girl.

Shen Xiaoye smiled slightly. This set of men's clothing was of no use at all. Next time she would definitely buy something to put on her makeup.

"My uncle rented it. I'm too young to be in charge." Her words caused the little black cat in her arms to meow, which was obviously complaining about her.

Lu Guan's cousin's wife frowned, lowered the curtains and ordered them to go back home. She had to talk to her husband today and borrow the private house.

Shen Xiaoye didn't know what the other party meant, so when Xuan Shen ran out, he asked him first.

"The eldest young lady's cousin came to Beijing, and she asked me if the fourth young master's house was vacant.

I said at the time that except for the fourth young master who was on leave, no one would live here permanently." Xuan Shen also wanted to tell the fourth young master about this, but he couldn't see anyone.
