In the next few days, Guo Furong felt guilty for almost pushing the scholar into a pit of fire, so she naturally treated him a little better than usual, so the relationship between the two developed rapidly.
In order to make up for her mistake, Guo Furong ran around and finally helped the scholar find a reliable bookseller. After reading Xiucai's book, the other party found it very interesting, so he decided to help publish it and gave him fifty taels of silver as an advance payment.
This also made Xiucai and Xiao Guo very happy.
The scholar even planned to use the money to redeem Xiao Guo, but Xiao Guo did not agree.
She wanted to leave Tongfu Inn before, mainly because she felt that this job as a handyman, which only paid two cents a month, did not reflect her own value. And it takes twenty years to do it, which really kills people.
But now she earns 2 taels per month, and it will only take two years to pay off the money, which is no longer a distant dream, so she is willing to continue working and pay off the debt on her own.
Moreover, her marriage is here. In a short period of time, she didn't want to leave.
…
Guo Furong didn't want to leave, but someone came.
Three disciples of the Hengshan Sect, Lu Yiming, Zhou Dunru, and Zhu Xiaoyun, came to Tongfu Inn together and wanted Mo Xiaobei to be their leader.
This is not Xiang Nan's business. What he cares about is the leaders' meeting in a few days.
At that time, the heads of the six major sects of the Jianghu and various heroes will be present, and Xiang Nan just wants to see how good they are.
"Brother Li, something's wrong~" At this moment, Yan Xiaoliu came over to report, "Something happened at Shopkeeper Qian's house."
"What happened?" Xiang Nan asked quickly after hearing this.
"Shopkeeper Qian's Wanli Pawn Shop was stolen, and fifty taels of silver disappeared. This is a big deal in our Qixia Town." Yan Xiaoliu said excitedly.
Xiang Nan nodded and immediately led Yan Xiaoliu to Wanli Pawnshop.
I saw Mrs. Qian reprimanding the guys, "I lost so much money and you didn't even notice it. I'm really angry. If I can't find it again, I'll deduct it from your wages."
Shopkeeper Qian looked anxious at the side, "Fifty taels of silver, how could it be gone? Madam, you should calm down, don't be too angry, or you may get angry."
However, Xiang Nan's sharp eyes saw a snicker on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, he was not really anxious, but was secretly happy that his plot had succeeded.
Because Xiang Nan knew that the money was stolen by shopkeeper Qian himself. His wife was very strict with him and forced him to lose weight and work all day long, so shopkeeper Qian wanted to steal money.
However, although Xiang Nan knew this, he didn't want to get married so soon.
On the one hand, even if he knew that Shopkeeper Qian had stolen it himself, there was no actual evidence; on the other hand, he wanted to borrow Mrs. Qian to test the strength of the major martial arts masters.
Xiang Nan came to this world mainly to collect martial arts. The top martial arts in "Wulin Gaiden" are basically in the hands of the major martial arts schools.
For example, Shaolin has Bodhidharma Kick, Thunder Quick Shou, Jiuyang Magic, Muscle-Relaxing Dragon Claw Shou, Eighteen Bronze Man Body Protection Magic, etc.; Wudang has Tai Chi; Emei has Emei Sword Technique; Kongtong has Seven Injury Fist...
In order to collect martial arts knowledge, Xiang Nan will have to find these sects sooner or later. The only difference is whether it is by trick or by robbery.
And if you want to try the martial arts of the major masters, you have to find a good human shield. …
Mrs. Qian is known as the best human shield in "Wulin Gaiden". She has practiced the Golden Bell Shield of the Thirteen Taibos, and her ability to resist beatings is quite strong.
He was attacked by the leaders of the major sects with the most brutal martial arts, but he didn't die. Instead, he quickly turned into a monster again. Being so resistant to beatings makes him a perfect touchstone.
Moreover, Mrs. Qian is also one of the rare villains in "Wulin Gaiden".
In the play, she not only faked her death for blackmail, but also kidnapped Mo Xiaobei and took the opportunity to plot against Tongfu Inn. It can be said that she has a bad heart.
Because of this, Xiang Nan also wanted her to suffer. Even if she is beaten to death, it will only eliminate one evil for the Seven Heroes.
Of course, it is too coincidental that Mrs. Qian is dealt with by various bosses in the play. But Xiang Nan still wanted to give it a try. It didn’t matter if he failed anyway.
…
Xiang Nan immediately walked over and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, Mrs. Qian, I heard that your pawnshop lost money again?"
"Ah, who are you? Where's Mr. Xing?" Mrs. Qian asked in surprise when she saw Xiang Nan.
She knew that Xiang Nan was the chef of Tongfu Inn.
"Oh, Capt. Xing has gone to the capital to receive an award. I will take over his position for the time being." Xiang Nan explained, "Please tell me about the situation, and I'll see if I can help you."
"Okay." Mrs. Qian nodded, and then recounted the incident.
It turned out that when she did her accounting this morning, she realized that the money in the bank account did not match up. After checking carefully, I found that fifty taels of silver were missing.
"How much money is there in the library?" Xiang Nan asked.
"One thousand taels." Mrs. Qian replied.
"Are they put together?" Xiang Nan asked again.
Mrs. Qian nodded.
"That's strange. Since all fifty taels were stolen, why not steal the remaining nine hundred and fifty taels." Xiang Nan said.
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Qian was thoughtful, while Shopkeeper Qian was shocked.
He indeed stole fifty taels of silver, and he was indeed able to steal one thousand taels at that time. It's just that he just wanted to steal some pocket money and didn't intend to destroy the entire family.
Besides, if your wife catches you stealing fifty taels, the most you can do is get a beating. But when his wife discovered that he had stolen a thousand taels, he probably dropped it into a box. Therefore, he only stole fifty taels, but unexpectedly, he left a flaw.
That's right, if it was really a thief, how could he only steal fifty taels!
"It makes sense." Mrs. Qian nodded, "Then why do you think it is?"
"In my opinion, someone was short on money but didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he only stole a little." Xiang Nan explained, "This should be considered a thief."
"Every thief has his own way, and stealing is stealing. If I know who it is, I will still skin him." Mrs. Qian said viciously.
Shopkeeper Qian immediately trembled.
…
"Mrs. Qian, I want to see the place where the eucalyptus was born again." Xiang Nan said to Mrs. Qian again.
Mrs. Qian nodded and took Xiang Nan to the warehouse.
You can see that the warehouse has no windows and no other entrances or exits except the door.
Xiang Nan checked the door lock, jumped up to the roof, checked carefully, and then landed.
"Mrs. Qian, look, there is no sign that the lock of the warehouse has been picked, and there is no sign that the tiles on the roof have been lifted." He introduced immediately.
"What does this mean?" Mrs. Qian asked puzzledly.
"This means that the person who stole it is either an inside thief who has access to the key. Or he is a very skilled thief who can open this kind of copper lock." Xiang Nan analyzed.
Shopkeeper Qian felt more and more uneasy when he heard what he said. It’s not even May yet and I’m already sweating profusely.
"It makes sense." Mrs. Qian nodded.
Yan Xiaoliu listened on the sidelines and felt that Xiang Nan was really powerful. After just a few glances, he could analyze so many clues, which was much better than his master, Lao Xing.
