Chapter 190 Pawnshop Backyard
Xia Zhaoyi didn't wait long, and after about half an hour, she saw Quan Jiuwei.

Previously, he was estimated to be only 25 years old, but looking at it now, there are fine wrinkles around his eyes, and his hair is slightly grizzled. This appearance seems to be ten years older.

However, he is still tall and straight, very thin and tall, with a jug of wine in his hand, and he comes here to buy wine.

In the recent events, there are many fewer people in the streets and alleys, and there are not many people in the lobby of the inn.

After Quan Jiuwei gave the jug to the waiter, he waited at the counter.

What he wanted was rice wine, and it had to be reheated. The rice wine in this inn is a time-honored brand, and many people would come to buy it from time to time.

When the buddy came back from drinking, Quan Jiuwei left through the side door.

Xia Zhaoyi finished eating the horseshoe cake in his hand slowly, got up to pay the bill, and walked towards the gate on the other side.

Bypassing the shop next door to the inn, Xia Zhaoyi saw Quan Jiuwei at the entrance of another alley.

He walked very slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Zhaoyi followed him to another alley, he pushed open a small courtyard and walked in.

Xia Zhaoyi looked around, and after making a note, he turned around and was about to leave, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he raised his head and looked to the other side.

There was a middle-aged woman over there, Xia Zhaoyi had paid attention to it just now, but she was just an ordinary woman, but after Quan Jiuwei came, her eyes would look at Quan Jiuwei from time to time, now Quan Jiuwei After entering the house, she seemed to be leaving too.

Xia Zhaoyi's original plan was to wait until after dark, she would go in and tie Quan Jiuwei directly.

Instead of beating around the bush and being tempted by the other party's half-belief, it's better for her to directly put a knife on his neck.

But now it seems that there is another excitement.

The woman didn't go far, and entered a small courtyard, and came out of the house after a while, holding a small basket in her hand, which contained some children's clothes.

She sat down in the yard and began to mend. She was no different from an ordinary woman, but she would raise her head from time to time to look towards Quan Jiuwei's courtyard not far away.

Half an hour later, a man came back, and the woman called him into the house. After a while, the man came out, left the yard, and went to the road.

Xia Zhaoyi followed the man again, and followed the man to the back door of a mansion. The servant at the back door looked very familiar to the man, and greeted him with a smile, and let the man in.

Xia Zhaoyi closed her eyes and sketched the entire street in her mind. On the map, the houses and buildings were rising from the ground, the trees were dense, and the crowds came and went. Her sight came from a distance, passing through the bustling and crowded twelve Avenue, eventually stopping at the front door of the mansion.

Xia Zhaoyi paused, opened his eyes, it was Yu Fu.

This is not the Yu Mansion, but the Tang Family.

If one wants to do good deeds, one must first have a sharp weapon. It is her habit to know oneself and the enemy, and the mastery of a terrain is the first essence of a military strategist.

Therefore, Xia Zhaoyi has been walking through the streets and alleys these days, remembering everything he saw along the way.

It's only been two years, and I really don't feel the vicissitudes of life. It overlaps with the memory, and there are only a few differences.

Among them, the Tang family's mansion here has become the Yu family's. The reason is unknown, and she is not very interested in investigating it.

After the man went in, he never came out.

Xia Zhaoyi waited for a while, didn't want to wait any longer, turned and left.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xia Zhaoyi wandered around in the street.

It was really cold, there were no people there, many shops closed early, and there were more guards patrolling the streets.

She avoided the guards and walked in the alleyway. When the time was almost up, she walked towards Quan Jiuwei's house.

As soon as she came here, she found something interesting.

The middle-aged man she followed today sat where the woman was sitting in the afternoon, as if looking at the moon and staring blankly, his eyes would look at Quan Jiuwei's room from time to time.

As for Quan Jiuwei, he changed his clothes now and slipped out from another door.

The clothes are relatively dim, and it is difficult to be recognized in the night, but it will not look too deliberate.

He walked peacefully all the way, without looking back and looking around, and he was frank and open, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Xia Zhaoyi followed him to a wide path, passing through a pond full of stars, Quan Jiuwei stopped and looked back.

It was quiet all around, no one was there.

There were still lights in some houses, but there was no sound at all.

He withdrew his gaze, continued to move forward, went to a courtyard, opened the door and entered.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the courtyard, but didn't step forward.

Quan Jiuwei is Pan Naifeng's illegitimate son, and there are only a handful of people who know about it. The reason why Xia Zhaoyi knows it is because Quan Jiuwei's life was saved by an old friend of his master.

When Quan Jiuwei was just born, Pan Naifeng's original partner, Mrs. Qiao, had to execute him. Only after his master's old friend rescued him did he know the reason.

Pan Naifeng feels guilty towards Quan Jiuwei, and has been secretly giving him money and nurturing him carefully.

But Quan Jiuwei's temperament is really timid, even poor. Xia Zhaoyi met him once before, and he always felt submissive, and he dared not look people in the eye when he spoke.

But the Quan Jiuwei I saw today was cautious, calm and calm. This appearance and expression were far from what I remembered.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked forward, following the direction he walked all the way just now, the front should be Huangning West Street.

The sixth shop from the south in the middle section... is Huiping Pawn Shop.

This pawn shop sounds familiar...

Xia Zhaoyi frowned lightly, thinking he had heard it somewhere.

At this time, someone came over again.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the man, and felt that the figure looked familiar.

When the man entered the gate sideways, Xia Zhaoyi was taken aback, it was Guo Ting.

Quan Jiuwei... Guo Ting...

Xia Zhaoyi swallowed the confusion in his heart and continued to wait quietly.

The night was quiet, and there were other people passing by here, some simply passing by, and some also going to the backyard of Huiping's pawn shop.

She waited for a long time, no one went in again, and those people didn't come out.

Instead, she ran into a thief stealing, but she didn't stop her, watching the thief steal a bag and run away.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, I finally saw someone come out from the backyard over there.

There is only one person, and it is Quan Jiuwei.

Xia Zhaoyi watched him leave, but did not follow, and continued to wait and see.

About the time it took for a cup of tea to pass, another one came out.

Besides Quan Jiuwei and Guo Ting, Xia Zhaoyi also saw an acquaintance, Cao Youyun.

Xia Zhaoxue made friends all over the world. Both Cao Youyun and Guo Ting were friends of Xia Zhaoxue, but Xia Zhaoxue met Guo Ting when he was a knight in the countryside, and he met Cao Youyun in Dianjiangtang.

Cao Youyun comes from the Cao family of Dingtao. The Cao family has a long history and is as famous as the Guo family of Drunk Deer. However, unlike the Guo family who likes idle clouds and wild cranes, the Cao family of these generations began to live in Kyoto, and their roots in the capital are very deep. .

Cao Youyun is the sixth child in the clan, and Cao Qilang and Cao Yao are both close friends of Xia Zhaoxue.
