Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 54 54. Another Big Case
"Yes, yes, check out. It's all my fault. I'm so overjoyed, I hope Ms. Chen is not to blame." Shopkeeper Huang patted his forehead and said.

Chen Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled.

This shopkeeper Huang is really interesting.

Shopkeeper Huang yelled at Wang Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, quickly bring me the abacus and the scale."

"Just bring the scales. There is no need for an abacus. 20 taels of gold and 60 taels of silver are three and a half times the price. Shopkeeper Huang, just give me 70 taels of gold and 210 taels of silver." Chen Xiaoyu said calmly.

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Huang was stunned.

"Forget it, you should take your time!" After Chen Xiaoyu finished speaking, she realized that her performance just now was a bit out of line.

There are no ninety-nine multiplication formulas here, and the calculations are all done with abacus and chips.

Shopkeeper Huang didn't make a sound. After weighing the gold and silver threads, he picked up the abacus and "cracked" it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, shopkeeper Huang found that the calculated number was the same as what Chen Xiaoyu said.

Shopkeeper Huang's eyes on Chen Xiaoyu changed.

Who is this Miss Chen?
Not to mention being very organized at such a young age, even the ability to settle accounts is so good.

You know, shopkeeper Huang's ability to settle accounts with one hand is well-known throughout the county.But now, he was at a disadvantage in front of Chen Xiaoyu.

Chen Xiaoyu could give the answer casually, but Huang Youliang had to figure it out after so long.

Could it be... this Miss Chen is a noble daughter?Otherwise...how could it be possible to have extraordinary abilities at such a young age?
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Huang looked at Chen Xiaoyu with a trace of awe in his eyes.

"Miss Chen, do you want gold and silver or silver tickets?" Shopkeeper Huang looked at Chen Xiaoyu and asked cautiously.

"Give me gold and silver ingots! When my parents and seniors are free, I'll ask her to fetch some more gold and silver threads." Chen Xiaoyu didn't know that shopkeeper Huang had helped her make up an incredible background. After thinking about it, she said .

Although the silver ticket is convenient, it cannot be used for drawing.

The gold ingot that Chen Xiaoyu drew last time was exchanged with banknotes at Shopkeeper Huang!

"Okay~! Ms. Chen wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away." Shopkeeper Huang said cheerfully.

With Chen Xiaoyu's words, shopkeeper Huang's heart was more than half relieved.

As long as the "Master Blacksmith" is willing to keep supplying goods, Shopkeeper Huang has the confidence to defeat Dafa Silver Building and Jinggong Workshop, and lead Changzhou County, no, it is the fashion of jewelry industry in Pingjiang Prefecture.

Shopkeeper Huang was a clever man, not only packed the gold and silver ingots in several high-quality nanmu boxes, but also gave Chen Xiaoyu a silver hairpin weighing one or two.

"Miss Chen, this is a new product just released by the store. Although the style is a bit ordinary, I hope Miss Chen will not dislike it." Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile.

"How...how can this work? I have already received gifts from shopkeeper Huang last time, how can there be any reason why shopkeeper Huang spends money on you every time I come here?" Chen Xiaoyu didn't want it.

"Miss Chen, do you think that the thank you gift is too light? Then... I will replace it with a bracelet for you?" Shopkeeper Huang was a little panicked.

"No, I just...forget it, give it to me! Thank you." Chen Xiaoyu wanted to not want it, but she was afraid that the shopkeeper Huang would really change the bracelet, so she had to accept it.

Chen Xiaoyu really couldn't bear the pitiful look in Huang's shopkeeper's eyes.

Alas~!The same is true of shopkeeper Huang. Giving a gift can also make people feel guilty.

"Thank you Miss Chen for not giving up." Shopkeeper Huang finally smiled when he saw Chen Xiaoyu accepting the silver hairpin.

"Old Huang~! Where are you?" At this moment, a yamen servant in soap clothes came to the door and yelled towards the inside.

"Yes, yes! Is Brother Wu busy?" Shopkeeper Huang hurried to the door and asked.

The yamen servant is called Wu Daxiang, and he has an inseparable relationship with shopkeeper Huang.

"Old Huang, something serious happened just now! You have to be careful in the past few days. When you see strangers entering the door, especially those who are generous, you must report them in time." Wu Daxiang said.

"What happened?" Shopkeeper Huang was surprised.

Wu Daxiang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said: "A quarter of an hour ago, someone pretended to be a customer and entered the gate of Dafa Silver Building and Seiko Workshop, saying they wanted to buy jewelry. Guess what happened?"

"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Huang answered blankly.

"A lot of gold and silver were robbed from those two jewelry shops, you should be careful." Wu Daxiang leaned into Shopkeeper Huang's ear and whispered.

"What? Dafa Silver Building and Jinggong Workshop were robbed at the same time?" Shopkeeper Huang's face turned pale with fright.

The county magistrate of Changzhou County, Zou County, is a talented scholar with two rankings.

Under the governance of County Magistrate Zou, the law and order in Changzhou County has been very good in the past few years.At least you don't have to worry about petty theft.

But now, there are thieves who dare to rob silver buildings in the county?
This... this, isn't Tai Sui breaking ground?
"That's right! There was a group of thieves who robbed two jewelry shops and then dispersed and fled. We, Catcher Wang and a few brothers have already chased after him. Master Zou asked me to come over and see if there is any loss in Diancuifang." Wu Daxiang said.

Even if he didn't ask, Wu Daxiang knew that Diancuifang should not have been robbed by thieves.

Otherwise, shopkeeper Huang wouldn't be so shocked just now.

"Brother Ang, can someone see the traitor's face?" Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly asked after recovering.

"A fat man, a thin man, and a bearded man, all in their thirties. As for whether there are other thieves, I don't know." Wu Daxiang said.

"The bearded man?" Wang Zhuzi exclaimed before Shopkeeper Huang could speak.

"What? Wang Zhuzi, have you ever seen a thief?" Seeing that Wang Zhuzi's face turned pale, Wu Daxiang couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Wu, I... I don't know if that is a thief. Just now... a man with a beard came into our Diancuifang, saying he wanted to buy gold bracelets and hairpins. I just happened to I'm busy, I don't have time to greet him, so..." Wang Zhuzi replied stammeringly.

"Ouch~! Wang Zhuzi, you're lucky!" Wu Daxiang's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and he couldn't help stretching out his palm, and patted Wang Zhuzi's shoulder heavily.

Wang Zhuzi tilted one side of his body, and was almost knocked down by Wu Daxiang.

It was Wu Daxiang who came to his senses and gave Wang Zhuzi a hand so that Wang Zhuzi could stand firm.

"Wu...Uncle Wu, is that bearded man really a thief?" Wang Zhuzi asked.

"Nine times out of ten it is. Is it so tall? There is a mole on the cheek?" Wu Daxiang asked while gesturing.

Wang Zhuzi nodded sharply.

"Zhuzi, you are really lucky. Otherwise, Diancuifang will suffer a lot today!" Wu Daxiang gave Wang Zhuzi his thumbs up.

After Wu Daxiang left, Wang Zhuzi scratched the back of his head, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it became.

Ms. Chen must have seen that the bearded man was not a good person before, so she got angry on purpose and sent herself away, right?
