Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 696 Chapter 690 Five: Looking for a Money Bag

Song Qiu found out that his purse was gone, and his joy gave way to sorrow.

Now she couldn't cry anymore, Ah Ling and Lihua groped all over their bodies, and scraped together a handful of copper plates and a dime of silver to settle the rent.

Three people were able to leave the inn.

"Aqiu, how much money do you have in your purse?" Li Hua only felt her body trembling, anxious!

Song Qiu was almost speechless.

She took a total of 4000 taels of silver with her when she went out this trip, and 500 taels of silver notes were deposited in Wantong Bank, and she carried the stamp for withdrawing the money.

There are 500 taels of silver bills and dozens of taels of broken silver left.

The broken silver has long been spent along the way.

500 taels silver ticket to open the cost of several inns also went to 300 taels.

This time when she came to Fucheng to buy and buy, she went to Wantong Bank to withdraw another 1000 taels of silver.

I spent more than 500 taels of silver by myself, lent 100 taels to A Ling, and 50 taels to Lihua, and used them again, leaving four 100 taels silver notes, a few ten taels silver notes and some broken silver.

The four large-amount banknotes were still placed next to Ah Ling, unless the thief could knock Ah Ling unconscious, otherwise they would not be able to steal them.

In her purse, there were still four ten taels of silver bills and seven or eight taels of silver.

It's okay to lose these dozens of taels of silver, and the most important thing is that her seal is also sewn into the inner lining of the money bag!
Although the thief could not take her money with the seal secretly, Wantong Bank had to check the name in addition to looking at the seal when withdrawing money.

But with only the registration number and no seal, it is also impossible to get it.

If the purse can't be found, it will be very troublesome to take out the remaining 500 taels of silver.

I really want to cry but I can't cry.

"I knew it earlier, the seal should have been placed on you." Song Qiu was a little annoyed. After going out for so long, this was the first time her purse was stolen by someone!

It's true that she drank alcohol last night and her mind was not working. She was not surprised at how it was stolen.

"If you put it in my hand, you might throw it away. I've lost my mind too. I didn't notice anything unusual all the way just now!" Ah Ling was also annoyed that she had lost her vigilance. She had been following Sister Ah Qiu, but someone had stolen her money. The bag, she didn't find it on the spot either.

Lihua frowned and said: "The money bag was still in the watchtower in the morning. We have been in the carriage since we got out of the watchtower and went ashore. We will not lose it in the carriage. Let's go to the steamed stuffed bun shop for breakfast. The money bag must be there." It was stolen!"

The three of them drove the carriage to the bun shop where they had breakfast before.

It's past breakfast time, there are no customers in the steamed stuffed bun shop, and the proprietress and his wife are busy washing up.

Although he knew it was impossible, Song Qiu still went up and asked, "Miss Boss, did you see a blue purse with two orchids embroidered on it?"

The proprietress still remembered that Song Qiu and the others came to eat steamed stuffed buns and porridge just now, and it was a bit strange to see them coming. When she heard that she was looking for the money bag, she was also stunned, "I didn't see it, the girl's money bag is missing?"

After Song Qiu heard this, she didn't go in any further. She had used a purse when she paid the bill before, so the purse was naturally taken away after leaving the steamed stuffed bun shop.

At that time, there were many people coming and going outside, she and Lihua waited at the door of the shop for Ah Ling to drive the carriage out from the alley behind.

When the carriage came out, they boarded the carriage and went back to the inn. During the time between coming out of the shop and standing at the door waiting for the carriage, the money bag was stolen.

Song Qiu returned to the scene and walked the road carefully again, recalling the short distance and the people he met in his mind.

At that time, at the entrance of the steamed stuffed bun shop, here, just under this tree, there was a little girl who was planting thatch to sell her body to bury her father. She was about seven or eight years old.

She and Lihua took another look, but they didn't come closer.

So, they stood still and did not move. How did someone steal their money bags?
Song Qiu thought about it but didn't understand it. She was sure that during this period of time, no one bumped into her on purpose or passed her close by.

Could it be that this thief can take things from a distance?

The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop washed her things for a while, when she looked up and saw the three girls walking back and forth at the door, she thought for a while, then she couldn't help but came out and said, "Girl, did you lose your purse?"

Song Qiu turned his head, thinking that the proprietress asked her just now, she nodded, guessing that the proprietress didn't see clearly, so she said, "Yes, I lost a purse."

The proprietress hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then whispered: "I also felt that I wanted to tell you because of your kindness, girl. Don't say I said it after you heard it."

"Did you see the little girl who sold herself under this tree to bury her father in the morning?"

Song Qiu was surprised, "I saw it, what happened to this little girl? Is it related to the purse I lost?"

The proprietress said: "This little girl sells her body to bury her father four or five times a month. At other times, people in those lively places in the north and east of the city can also look at her and say that she is selling her body to bury her father." , this girl is actually a little liar, who specializes in defrauding people of money, and anyone who is kind to her will definitely lose money."

"Last time, a customer lost his purse after he left after breakfast at my shop. He looked for it later, but he couldn't find it. Later, I saw the little girl holding the purse! Girl, this time This, maybe it has something to do with that little girl, how much money was lost? Why don't you go look for her?"

"You mustn't say that I said it! This little girl has a bad temper. I can't afford to provoke her, and seeing that she has no father and mother at such a young age, I feel sorry for her, but I know she is Liar, seeing her coming, didn't tell anyone about her."

Song Qiu listened, and didn't expect that the little girl who sold her body to bury her father was a liar, and she was also surprised to cheat people with this name. "She often does this? What if someone really buys her?"

The proprietress shook her head, "This little girl is amazing, she is a slippery loach, and her eyes are very catchy! The locals can tell at a glance, and she will make excuses and refuse to sell, usually relying on those passing by from other places. Lied, lied to others to buy it with silver, and then said that he was going to take his deceased father to the funeral and come back. If he ran away, he would never be found!

Who would stay here for a few taels of silver to find someone who is passing through other places?Those who can give these few taels of silver are not bad at all! "

This is really slippery.

Song Qiu asked, "Does my aunt know where I can find her now?"

The proprietress shook her head again, "I don't know exactly where she is, she is like a mouse digging a hole, there are holes everywhere, anyway, the city is so big, she can go anywhere, you can find it in a lively place Found, except for the rain, she works every day!"

Song Qiu got the letter, thanked the proprietress, and inquired with the proprietress which has the most people and the busiest people in this prefecture, then took a carriage and started to go all over the street to find the little girl who sold her body to bury her father.
