Chapter 345 Catch the Thief

348
Shopkeeper Sun subconsciously wanted to turn around after hearing Beibei's words, and Beibei hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Sun, don't startle the snake!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Sun turned his head abruptly and asked, "Miss Beibei, is she planning to catch the thief out today?"

Shopkeeper Sun knew that Beibei had a solution, but he was a sensible person. Beibei didn't talk to him in detail, and he didn't ask Beibei when he planned to let the thief show up. I know I guessed right.

"Miss Beibei, if you have anything useful about Sun, just ask."

"Shopkeeper Sun, I originally wanted to engrave the trademark on the jar after the official document came out. Now that the official document has not come down, I had someone engrave a trademark seal for me yesterday. If there are customers buying sauces or seasonings later, Please, Shopkeeper Sun, stamp a seal for me." Beibei took out a newly engraved seal from her pocket and handed it to Shopkeeper Sun, then told him her plan in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Sun nodded while listening, his eyes sparkling.

There were not many customers at this time, and the few people who came in were not in a hurry to ask Widow Liu and Shui Lan anything, but pretended to wander around in front of the shelves.

Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu felt very novel about doing business. Seeing shopkeeper Sun and Beibei whispering something under the eaves, they imitated Widow Liu and Shui Lan and came forward to greet the guests.

"Several brothers, do you want to buy sauces or seasonings? Or thousands of sheets?" Qiao Qiongyan asked enthusiastically.

"Let's take a look first." One of them replied absent-mindedly.

"Oh."

Seeing that the person didn't intend to buy it, Qiao Qiongyan nodded in disappointment, and then walked towards the other person full of hope.

After asking three people in a row like this, none of them was interested in buying sauces and seasonings. Qiao Qiongyan looked at Widow Liu in frustration.

Widow Liu smiled, pulled Qiao Qiongyan aside, and encouraged her with a smile: "Miss Qiao, not all customers who come to the shop will buy things, don't be discouraged."

"Why don't you come in without shopping? Waste my saliva!" Qiao Qiongyan gave those people a dissatisfied look.

Hearing Qiao Qiongyan's words, Widow Liu secretly smiled. How is this Miss Qiao supposed to be in business?

And Qiao Qiongyan didn't know, in fact, Widow Liu and Shui Lan were also very annoying to these customers, they would come to the shop to hang out every day, and they would not leave until they visited for an hour every day.

Although they suspected that they were the ones who stole the sauces and seasonings, but there was no evidence, so Widow Liu and Shui Lan could only observe them secretly, and treated them the same as other guests on the surface.

One of the guests turned his head abruptly when he heard Widow Liu shout, "Miss Qiao".

The moment he saw Qiao Qiongyan, panic flashed in the man's eyes, and he hurried to a man beside him and whispered something in his ear.

The other person also looked at Qiao Qiongyan a little nervously, and after a while he calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Don't scare yourself, I heard that Miss Qiao and the owner of this shop are good friends in the boudoir, so it's okay if she comes to play." Not surprising."

The other few people also felt that they thought too much when they heard this. There are so many customers coming to this shop every day, so there must be a lot of things sold. How can they find something without a jar every day?

Thinking of this, the expressions of the few people returned to normal, and they continued to stroll around the yard, but occasionally they would glance at Qiao Qiongyan anxiously.

Beibei under the eaves naturally saw their reactions. After explaining the matter to shopkeeper Sun, she walked up to Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaoxiao, laughing loudly on purpose: "Qiongyan, Xiaozhu, there are Aunt Liu and Xiaozhu here. Shopkeeper Sun and Shui Lan can just watch, and you can go shopping with me in the market?"

Qiao Qiongyan understood, and said straightforwardly: "Okay, it just so happens that I also promised Yi'er to buy him a windmill."

The three of Beibei left Xinglong Street and boarded a carriage at the corner of the street. In the carriage, there were already two servants from the Qiao Mansion waiting in the carriage.

Qiao Qiongyan nodded to them, and they jumped out of the carriage.

The coachman drove the carriage to the door of the sauce shop. Qiao Qiongyan couldn't bear it and wanted to lift the curtain to find out, but was stopped by Beibei.

"Be careful to be discovered!" Beibei whispered.

Qiao Qiongyan had no choice but to lean back in the carriage, staring at the curtain impatiently.

It was not too early at this time, there were pedestrians walking on Xinglong Street one after another, some went to the street to buy vegetables, some took children out for a walk, some went to the college, and occasionally one or two carriages passed by.

Because the sauce shop's reputation has long been established, some women who buy vegetables will stop and take a look in when they pass by the sauce shop, and occasionally a few people will walk in to have a look.

And those with children will also stop on both sides of the courtyard wall at the request of the children, and watch the two murals.

Qiao Qiongyan got a little impatient waiting, and she was even more annoyed when she saw Beibei leaning against the wall of the car with her eyes closed and resting her mind.

"Beibei, when will the thief show up?" Qiao Qiongyan asked.

Beibei slowly opened his eyes, smiled and comforted him: "Be safe and don't be impatient, you shouldn't have to wait for a long time."

As soon as Beibei finished speaking, the driver's low voice came into the carriage: "Miss, two suspicious men have entered."

Qiao Qiongyan was so excited that she sat up straight, and her spirits instantly revived.

"Beibei, should I go to the county government now?" Qiao Qiongyan asked excitedly.

Beibei shook her head: "Wait a while."

"Still waiting?" Qiao Qiongyan's face collapsed, and she leaned back into the carriage.

After a cup of tea, the coachman's voice sounded again: "Miss, those two people just came out with a jar in their arms and went to the end of the street."

"Beibei?" Hearing this, Qiao Qiongyan looked at Beibei anxiously, and it would be too late if she didn't call the servant.

"Wait a little longer." Beibei's expression was as steady as Mount Tai.

"Beibei, if you wait any longer, you won't be able to catch anyone!" Qiao Qiongyan said anxiously.

Beibei was silent.

At this time, the first few people who entered the shop left the shop together and walked towards the street in a swaggering manner.

The two servants of the general's mansion who got off the carriage just now followed out of the shop, stood at the door of the shop and nodded to the coachman. go.

The coachman reported the situation to the people in the car, and then Beibei asked Qiao Qiongyan to get out of the car to call the servants who were squatting.

Seeing Beibei, these few government servants headed by Jin had a look of displeasure.

Last time because Beibei broke the case of Bai Daluo and Lao You poisoning, the county magistrate was scolded bloody by a letter from General Qiao. The county magistrate had nowhere to vent, so he took his anger out on them. They also withheld their salaries for three months, so of course these yamen servants didn't look good when they saw Beibei.
