After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 14

According to the roster, a single woman named Pang Li lived on the right side of Xiao Qiyue, and a thin scholar lived on the left side.It's just that this thin scholar has only one Wu surname on the roster, and his name is not written.

When Mo Rulan handed over the roster to Shen Qingling, she explained that once only the surname or first name was written on the roster, it meant that the person's identity had not been ascertained when boarding the ship, and it was not easy to ascertain.

Mo Rulan can even get the information of a guest like Shen Qingling who accidentally changed the route at her fingertips, so the ones she can't find are the three words "problem" clearly written on them?
That's why Shen Qingling chose the room of this man surnamed Wu to come in.

Xu saw that Shen Qingling's expression was too indifferent, Xue Yu brushed off his sleeves, stood up naturally, and continued: "The little lady is lost? If I get lost, I can go find the boatman for the little lady Come."

"Your surname is Xue?" Shen Qingling asked instead, "Just now in the corridor, I heard the boatman call your Excellency Mr. Xue, presumably his surname is Xue."

There was a flash of unnaturalness on Xue Yu's face, but he quickly covered it up, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Young lady is good at hearing, my surname is indeed Xue, and I am named Yu alone."

Hearing the words, Shen Qingling raised her chin slightly, and continued to ask a little arrogantly: "Then why is Mr. Xue Lang in my cousin Wu's house? I wonder what Mr. Xue is looking for?"

It was a good time to turn against the guest, and Xue Yu was stunned on the spot immediately.

It's just that Xue Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After thinking about it for a while, after combining the information he has now, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency's words are quite interesting. I traveled with Brother Wu all the way. Why didn't I know that Brother Wu had a Such a lovely cousin?"

The house fell into an eerie silence.

The outer deck was still bustling with excitement, but amidst the boisterous shouts and applause, there were faint footsteps approaching from the corridor.

"Someone is coming." Shen Qingling's ears twitched slightly, and then she pulled Xue Yu and hid behind the curtain on the right side, and said with a low voice, "I don't care why you came, Mr. Xue, as long as you don't miss it." As for my business, I will naturally not hinder your business."

Xue Yufeng squinted at Shen Qingling, then turned her head to look at the main entrance, only to confirm that there were indeed footsteps outside.

"Go here..." He pinched Shen Qingling's sleeve with his backhand.

It's no wonder that when Shen Qingling was in the corridor, she couldn't see anyone in the house, it turned out that Xue Yu didn't go through the front door at all!
Although the cabin on the upper floor has only one palm-sized window, its layout is very similar to that of an ordinary inn. The left side is for sleeping, the middle is for hospitality, and the right side is a small study room separated by a curtain.On the wall of the study room, there are two landscape paintings with a height of one person. When the scrolls are turned, there is a secret door. Through the secret door, you can go to another cabin without going through the corridor.

Behind the room where the man surnamed Wu lived was Xue Yu's No. [-] room.

squeak-

Shen Qingling and Xue Yugang closed half of the secret door, and the door at the other end was opened.

The two huddled together at the half door, listening to the movement in the room, but what they heard was the footsteps of two people entering the room, and the latter one was obviously bigger, and his footsteps were steady and powerful.

"How much has it been?"

The first person to speak was a male voice that sounded extremely weak, presumably it was the man surnamed Wu.

It was the strong man with muffled footsteps who answered him. His voice was deep and deep. When he spoke, the internal organs of the observers seemed to be shaken. "When it comes to Shisanshi, it's not much, but it's enough for you."

The man surnamed Wu hissed, and said in distress: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the job."

Xue Yu's face became more and more serious. It seemed that what the man surnamed Wu said was closely related to what he was investigating.

"What? You can't break the rules. Regardless of whether you can pay the job or not, once the ship docks, I will deliver the goods and you will pay, otherwise there will be no next time." The strong man didn't give in at all. Yes, don't look for me in such a hurry next time, if Boss Mo sees it, you and I won't talk about business, even people have to be involved."

"Good brother, good brother." The man surnamed Wu seemed to be trying to keep the strong man, "Do me a favor, the thirteen shi is certainly enough, but the share I report every month is not thirteen shi... There was nothing wrong at first, but I just found out that the steward of my family has appeared on the boat, if the steward knows that I have deducted three stones every month, then our business will be really bad."

Shen Qingling finally heard something from it.

This man surnamed Wu bought something from a strong man, counting it in shi, but when he reported it to the master's family every month, he withheld three shi from it. As a last resort, he hastily searched for the strong man in order to find a way to slow down the troops.

The person in charge is Xiao Qiyue?If Xiao Qiyue was really related to the man surnamed Wu, why did the man surnamed Wu live next door to Xiao Qiyue, but only now did he discover Xiao Qiyue's existence?

Could it be that Xiao Qiyue deliberately concealed her identity and bought the guest room she wanted to live in next to a man surnamed Wu?

The two people huddled at the secret door were thinking about their own affairs, but they didn't realize that the man surnamed Wu and the strong man suddenly lowered their voices to plot something, and then hurriedly closed the door and left.

When Xue Yu came back to her senses, Shen Qingling was already sitting at the round table in the room very comfortably, and she was holding the pot with her sleeves, and poured herself a cup of hot tea, as if she was the owner of this room.

"Is there something else, little lady? Now that the crisis is over, we should part ways." After gently closing the other half of the secret door, Xue Yu turned around, saluted, and said with a slight smile, "Today we are not going to fight. We know each other, I don’t know, little lady..."

"Shen Qingling." Shen Qingling twirled the teacup at her fingertips, and cut off Xue Yu's words, "Xue Langjun, you trespassed on cousin Wu's room, just write it off. As for the rest, I hope Xue Langjun can guard against it." Mouth, otherwise, if word of this matter gets out, my cousin will not be the only ones who will be unlucky."

What she said was a deliberate introduction.

In the end, Xue Yu wasn't fooled at all.

In fact, Xue Yu had already noticed Shen Qingling when he was in the dining hall.For an eye-catching person like Shen Qingling, wherever he goes, he should be the focus of his eyes, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to know it himself.

Speaking of Shen Qingling's words and actions back in the dining hall, Xue Yu simply leaned against a corner of the dining hall after connecting with his informant, and stayed until the end. He wanted to know where Shen Qingling was dumped by the staff. Boss Mo's secret pavilion was doing something, and he wanted to see what Shen Qingling brought out of the secret pavilion.

After all, the secret pavilion seemed to be unattended, but in fact it was heavily guarded secretly. If Xue Yu hadn't forced his way in, Xue Yu would never have been able to get close to the secret pavilion.

It is a pity that when Shen Qingling left the secret pavilion, she used her wide sleeves to cover what she was holding in her arms. Xue Yu, who complained and waited for a long time, returned without success, so she could only turn her head to check what she got from the informant in a depressed mood. clues.
