Chapter 71 Calculation
Shen Qingling stopped in the middle of the road, her eyes fell on the man's hand, and said: "He looks like a weak scholar, but look at these buyers, no one dares to approach him easily, why?"

During the two hours, Shen Qingling stayed at the man's booth for a while before, and even if the people passing by, they all walked away far away.

It's like—

This is a person of high status, and those who enter the ghost market dare not disturb him easily.

"He seems to be waiting for someone." Shen Qingling turned her head and thought for a while, and with her hands behind her back, she signaled Shaoying not to follow, but she walked over quickly and stopped in front of the man's booth.

"This is the second time, Your Excellency." The man leaned on the bench and raised his head slightly. "If you like something, you can take it away. The price is negotiable."

It seems that he really wants to do business.

Shen Qingling propped herself up on the booth with a smile, flicked through the books, and asked: "Aside from these, what else do you have, Mr. Xiao Lang? I came to the ghost market specifically, not to find these ordinary things. "

The man seemed a little surprised. After staring at Shen Qingling for a long while, he said in a deep voice: "This place is not a good place, little lady should go back as soon as possible, don't stay here at will."

If Shen Qingling hadn't heard anything about the previous few words, then the voice of the last sentence had already allowed Shen Qingling to see his true identity.

Xue Yu!

Why is he here?

Could it be that the food account has already arrived in the hands of Dali Temple?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingling clenched her fist slightly, closed her eyes and said: "You shouldn't be here, right? The owner of this stall, who should be you, don't think that wearing a mask can confuse the public. "

Under the confrontation, Xue Yu actually laughed.

"Yes, I am indeed not the owner of the stall, but even if the second lady finds out about this, so what?" Xue Yu said, getting up to clean up the ancient books on the stall, "I was ordered by the official family to thoroughly investigate the granary under the heavens, and the second lady knew Naturally, I know what the consequences will be if I miss my errand."

For the last sentence, Xue Yu's voice was extremely low.

"The Khitan people are here." Shen Qingling stepped closer and whispered.

The slightly hot breath sprayed on Xue Yu's neck, carrying bursts of unusual fragrance, which made Xue Yu swallow for no reason, looked sideways at the past, and the words stuck in his throat because of this.

"The Khitan people intend to get their hands on the granary, sir Xue should not sit idly by, right?" Shen Qingling turned her head to look at the past, and said with crooked eyes: "Hand in hand once on the Bian River, Lord Xue should know that I am not the one who made such a mistake. generation."

Xue Yu stumbled back, propped his hands on the bench, turned his face and said: "What the second lady said is exactly what I want to say. That person has been detained by me, and what I want to wait for right now is the person who will connect with him. I also hope that the second lady will leave early, so don't miss the hour."

When Shen Qingling heard this, she immediately put away the money and took the books, and said goodbye.

Shao Ying, who was standing not far away, hurriedly followed her, and hurriedly stood side by side with her, asking, "What's the matter? I saw you chatted for a while, but what went wrong?"

"It's okay, come with me." Shen Qingling didn't look back, dragged Shao Ying to walk quickly through about a dozen stalls, and then pretended to pick things out, staring at Xue Yu's stall from the corner of her eyes.

Time is passing by little by little.

When the ghost market closed, a man in black finally stopped in front of Xue Yu.

The man looked at Xue Yu with his hands behind his back, then looked at the books on the booth, and asked after a long time, "What books are there?"

The accent is very normal, and it cannot be recognized that it is a Khitan.

Xue Yu leaned on the chair, waving the jade fan with his left hand, holding the fruit in his right hand, and lazily replied: "Books from heaven, books from earth, books from the sun."

"How much is Sun Book?"

"Longevity is priceless."

After repeating the code several times, the black-clothed man finally took out a letter from the armhole, hid it in his palm, and quietly borrowed the book to hand it to Xue Yu.

At the end, the man in black ordered: "There is movement on the water, and it will be quiet in the future, so don't make any noise."

Shao Ying also followed Shen Qingling to look at the other end, seeing a man in black visiting, she asked curiously: "Is this man waiting for him?"

Shen Qingling nodded, and left the ghost market together with Shao Ying, but did not return to Yangzhou immediately, but squatted on the small slope outside the forest, intending to meet Xue Yu by chance.

"Who is an old acquaintance with you?" Although Shao Ying didn't understand Shen Qingling's arrangements, he always ordered and forbade them, "This place is not far from the ghost market, Er Niangzi, should we not move further? To avoid being caught by ghosts The people of the city have found it."

"Don't be afraid, people in the ghost market usually go north and cannot reach us." Shen Qingling said confidently.

Before visiting the ghost market, Shen Qingling had already thoroughly researched the rules and habits of the ghost market in the past, which is why after she entered the ghost market, she almost only had to look at it to know exactly what was sold at that stall. What.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning glow lays out.

When Xue Yu came out from the woods, he had already changed his clothes, but the mask was still on, and he walked in a hurry.

"We met again." Shen Qingling stepped in front of Xue Yu and said with a smile: "I don't know now, do you have time to chat with me?"

Shaoying didn't come out, he squatted behind the slope, obeyed Shen Qingling's order, and looked around vigilantly.It's just that he looked around, but he didn't see anyone suspicious, and he didn't find anything wrong.

"Second Lady Shen, are you afraid that I will run away?" Xue Yu buttoned his cuffs, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Second Lady Shen, do you know that I was imprisoned in the prison for seven days in Yongqiu County?"

In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingling remembered one thing.

It was Xue Yu who caught the mandarin duck thief, it was Xue Yu who came to Yangzhou to thoroughly investigate the world's granaries, and it was Xue Yu who went to the ghost market and found the Khitan people. Is there any connection between these things?
"You are here to catch the Mandarin Duck Thief." Shen Qingling restrained her smile, straightened her back to look at Xue Yu, "It is true to check the granary, but it is also true to check the Yan Gang. The one who robbed Yan Gang back then was the Mandarin Duck Bandit."

Under the mask, Xue Yu's eyes changed slightly.

Shen Qingling knew that she had guessed right, so she continued: "You saw that I touched Yuan Sanniang, so when I returned to the stall, I deliberately revealed my secrets, so that I could stay and wait for you after I left the ghost market. "

Fortunately, Shen Qingling thought that there would be dark lines all around, so Shao Ying had to be more vigilant, but it was all Xue Yu's scheme!

"It's me who underestimates the enemy. Once you leave Yongqiu County, I thought Xue Langjun was still such an easy-to-deceive person."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingling took out the cotton thread engraved with Jiaogu characters from the armhole, and when Xue Yu stretched out her hand, she turned her fingers to avoid it.

"That's right. Although I don't have any ill feelings towards Second Lady Shen, Yu Gong, at that time I had to do everything possible to keep Second Lady in my sight, so as not to disappoint God." Xue Yu raised his hand to take off his mask, his expression sincere.
