Qiu Yan strictly followed the family law to her younger brother, in fact, to block Youyou's public opinion, but her good intentions, in the eyes of Concubine Liu, completely became a drama that only pleases the Han family. Even though Aunt Liu and Qiu Rong didn't appreciate it, Qiu Yan still sent the medicine for external application in person, and at least she had a clear conscience in the face of her own mother's censure.
Early the next morning, Qiu Yan went out to investigate alone, but unexpectedly met Qin Xuan. It turned out that Qin Xuan knew that she was going to take a risk, so she followed suit, threatening to protect her. The two had eaten wontons on the street, and began to analyze the places where large-value bills were likely to be traded, and finally locked in a mixed casino.
Because Qiu Yan inquired about the general situation of Ruyi Square in advance, she asked the next door vendor for some clues, and learned that the casino would catch customers using fake banknotes every month. After a long time, everyone became accustomed to it. Qiu Yan and Qin Xuan met Yao Gai, a regular customer through a street vendor, and under his leadership, they came to a paper shop. They became the largest seller of fake banknotes in the capital because they were backed by officials from Fengjing Prefecture.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing unusual about the shop, like a serious business, Qiu Yan pretends to be a desperate gambler, hoping that the shopkeeper can accommodate. As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper changed his attitude and guided them to the backyard. Unfortunately, before Qin Xuan was happy for a moment, he saw a group of thugs around the shopkeeper and surrounded them.
The shopkeeper saw at a glance that the jade ornaments on Qin Xuan's body were extraordinary, and he was sure that he was not a penniless gambler, but Qin Xuan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply took out the jade pendant and reported his identity. Just because the shopkeeper did not dare to offend the British government rashly, he immediately smiled and explained the situation to Qin Xuan and Qiu Yan truthfully.
In fact, the amount of fake silver bills traded by Ming Paper Shop is usually small. Even if the shopkeeper has ten heads, he would not dare to print three thousand taels casually. It's just that the texture and mark of the silver note that Qiu Yan showed made the shopkeeper think of a person. This person's name is Xiao Tie, the stereotyped master he once recruited. He suddenly left the paper shop half a year ago. , now appears to have found a new owner.
According to the address provided by the shopkeeper, Qiu Yan followed Qin Xuan to the suburban area and accidentally bumped into Liang Yi and Song Jin. While the four of them were talking, they suddenly realized that someone was outside the door. It was none other than Xiao Tie they were looking for. How do you know that Xiao Tie is very cunning, deliberately using beggars to create riots, directly blocking the way, and even using young children as hostages.
Fortunately, Liang Yi was quick-witted, subdued Xiao Tie with one move, and finally captured him. Qiu Yan wanted to cooperate with Liang Yi to track down the fake banknotes, but Liang Yi felt that she had grasped the clues and could find out who was behind the scenes without cooperation, but Qiu Yan still had a three-day deadline, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed like she wanted to Use chopping wood to achieve your goals.
Just as Liang Yi was about to escort Xiao Tie back, he never imagined that a group of mysterious people were ambushing around. Dozens of arrows came from the sky, and Liang Yi was too weak to protect Xiao Tie. On the other hand, Qiu Yan tried to protect Xiao Tie as much as possible, but the other party wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and she was shot and killed in the end.
During this period, Qiu Yan saw the true face of the archer. Although she was willing to provide clues to Liang Yi, she asked the other party to help find the thief in the Qiu family in a cooperative way. Regardless of the process, they could discuss with each other, even if the deadline was three days. She has arrived, and she will never take anger on Liang Yi.
After reaching the agreement, Liang Yi deliberately suspected that Qiu Yan was complicit with the thief, and ordered her and Qin Xuan to be taken back to the firewood chopping place and imprisoned in an open-air cage, in fact, to protect the safety of the two. Qin Xuan and Liang Yi grew up, and they also understood the character of this person, but they felt that before he took charge of the chopping wood, he was actually a zealous and loyal person, and even now, he would not be disregarding human life.
Liang Yi led people to the civilian area again and ordered the beggar to help him find the old man who had led the trouble before. As a result, he found the wooden sign left by the old man in the hand of the little beggar. At the same time, Qiu Min still doesn't know the truth, and wants to plead with Liang Yi for Qiu Yan, hoping that she can let her sister go. Thinking of the two sisters' diametrically opposite personalities, Liang Yi was very sophisticated, so he should not worry too much to appease Qiu Min and let her go back to the house first.
Seeing Qiu Min leave alone, Liang Yi opened the cage and took Qiu Yan away, which was considered to have accepted her previous proposal for cooperation. Qiu Yan thought that Qin Xuan revealed that Liang Yi was the most sympathetic and cherished Yu, and especially could not see women crying, so she pretended to be weak and showed her goodwill, expressing her willingness to cut off the relationship with Qin Xuan.
If it seemed to others, they would believe it, but Liang Yi knew that she was repeating her old tricks, so she simply mentioned Qiu Min, which really showed Qiu Yan's true form. Qiu Yan repeatedly warned Liang Yi not to threaten Qiu Min to marry him, and Liang Yi was too lazy to argue with her, and then took out the wooden sign and asked her to analyze the source of the wooden sign.
In terms of appearance and wood, this wooden plaque is not considered high-quality. Qiu Yan noticed the peony carved on the front of the wooden plaque and felt that it should be common in pharmacies. As a result, this remark was immediately refuted by Liang Yi. With Liang Yi's reminder, Qiu Yan suddenly thought of Qinlou Chu Pavilion. At this time, Song Jin brought all the brothel rosters, and according to the time Xiao Tie turned to go home, he happened to find a newly opened brothel.
