    In a clothing store in the north of the city, behind the counter, inside a green pine curtain, there was a small reception room. Xue Rui was sitting on a chair under the window, listening to the shopkeeper's report: "Sir, I live in Qiu Guifang.  There is a foreigner named Xu in the whole inn, who just checked in the day before yesterday, and he was accompanied by a few companions. The strange thing is that he didn't live in the same place. He stayed with him for a day, and saw him entering with his companions yesterday afternoon.  A chamber of commerce in the south of the city. ""Which chamber of commerce?" "It's the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce." Xue Rui's brows were filled with doubts. He knew about the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce. That day, he had a general manager named Cao Zixin in Yiyang.  She fell in love with Yu Shu's calculation skills, and after he made peace with her, Yu Shu joined the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce as an apprentice. Now he actually made trouble for her, but she was only let off when she arrived in the capital. How big of a fuss must there be in this?  Seeing Xue Rui's face, the shopkeeper thought that he didn't know Taiheng's reputation, so he said: "Sir, you have been away from Beijing for more than two years. Unexpectedly, this Taiheng Chamber of Commerce is a company that has only moved into Anling City in recent years. Its business is prosperous and its reputation is great."  Not bad, there is some background behind it.¡±  "Oh? Who is it?" "Do you still remember that there was a fortune teller who showed off his clothes when the results were released?" Xue Rui recalled this incident when he was young.  He hesitated and said a convoluted name: "Gu Gai?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised that he could still remember clearly after such a distance: "It's the ancient fortune teller, do you still remember it?"  Rui He more than remembered that he was present when Gu Gai wore sackcloth and mourning for the ceremony. He was passing by and saw with his own eyes the forty-year-old man crying loudly in front of the Si Tian Prison gate. He was not at all happy about winning the first prize.  Later, I heard someone say that his parents had passed away long ago, but they didn't know who he was mourning for or mourning for on that great day.  "Can this ancient fortune teller live in Beijing now?" Xue Rui asked.  "I don't know. Rong Xiao sent someone to find out."  "It happened." "Yes, I'll check it out as soon as possible."  Details.  He said that he would do it as soon as possible. Three days had passed by the time Xue Rui got the news. During this period, he sent people to watch Sun Ji Tavern, but he did not go to Huixing Street to find Yu Shu to warn him. First, he did not know where she lived.  Hu, secondly, this capital city is his territory, and he is not afraid that something will happen to Yu Shu under his nose.  But after reading the news he just received, he decided to go find her.  A large chamber of commerce has big and small events happening every month, but one thing caught Xue Rui's attention - a few months ago, a caravan from Yiyang City to Anling was robbed by water bandits on the way.  Ten people died tragically and were dumped in the river. Only a few people escaped.  This robbery was so remarkable that it alarmed the government offices along the Yangtze River. However, the water bandits' whereabouts were erratic and they hid in river valleys. The government was unable to arrest the culprits. It is said that for this reason, the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce paid eight thousand taels of silver.  The reward was offered, claiming that as long as someone could capture the gang of murderers, he would be rewarded twice as much, which attracted many people in the world who were ready to take action.  Whether in terms of time or location, this incident coincided with the day when Yu Shu came to Beijing, which made him doubt that it had something to do with her.  If this is the case, it is not a trivial matter that can be solved casually. Although the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce only occupies a mid-level position in the capital, there is indeed someone behind it.  Yu Shu did not show up in Qiu Guifang. Xue Rui didn't know which street she lived in, so he was not in a hurry. He finished the day's business early in the afternoon and went to Baichuan Academy.  "You know where the young monk is, but are you afraid that you can't find the temple?"  Xue Rui came at the right time. Not long after, he saw the students finishing their classes. A group of half-year-old children walked out of the library talking and laughing. After several groups of people passed by, he saw one of the boys with keen eyes.  .  It has been almost half a year since Xue Rui last saw Yu Xiaoxiu. Fortunately, the child's appearance has not changed much and he recognized him at a glance.  But Yu Xiaoxiu was so focused on listening to the people around him that he didn¡¯t notice Xue Rui across the street. He still heard someone calling his name, so he raised his head to look.  "Xiao Xiu." Yu Xiaoxiu saw the young master calling him not far away and recognized the person. He was dumbfounded and opened his mouth. He never thought that after so long, he had almost forgotten that there was such a person.  Saw this in the capital cityOpen your face.  "Cao, Brother Cao?" Xue Rui smiled, looking at the surprised face of the child across the road, thinking: She really didn't mention him to the child.  Yu Shu stayed at home for several days. Because she had something to do, she didn't think the time was long. She used Yi Xue's method to find lost items and made little progress. However, this did not prevent her from conducting research enthusiastically. She often spent half a day immersed in the table.  , she is not as diligent as she is in hatching eggs.  Jing Chen is better than her. Although he still holds the Taoist books and reads them all day long, he never leaves his hands. But when it's time to eat, he will go to the big room to call her on time. The two of them eat and wash the dishes, and then go back to their respective rooms to continue.  Busy work.  Hearing a knock on the door in the yard, Jing Chen clasped the book downwards, stood up and went outside to open the door. As soon as he opened the door bolt, Yu Xiaoxiu squeezed in and closed the door with his backhand.  "Where's my brother?" Jing Chen pointed to the big house and watched Yu Xiaoxiu hurried in and closed the door. Jing Chen was surprised by his unusual behavior, but without thinking much, he turned around and went back to his room to continue.  Read a book.  At the other end, Yu Shu was grabbing a charcoal pen that was about to end and drawing a parabola on the paper. Yu Xiaoxiu ran into the room.  "Sister!" "You're back." Yu Shu said without raising his head.  "Sister, I saw Brother Cao." "I," Yu Shu drew two more strokes and turned his head sharply, "What did you say?" Yu Xiaoxiu then told Yu that Xue Rui went to the book garden to find him.  Shu, finally complained: "Sister, why didn't you tell me that Brother Cao is also in the capital. When I saw him today, I was not prepared at all. I was so shocked." Yu Shu's face was embarrassed, but she was not  He deliberately hid it from Yu Xiaoxiu, but he didn't want to interact with Xue Rui at first, so he didn't tell him. Later, the two got closer, but he didn't know how to tell him.  "I'm going to tell you in two days," Yu Shu fooled him and asked strangely: "Did he go to see you and say anything to you?" "Oh, yes!" Yu Xiaoxiu patted his head and stretched out his hand to pull her.  , "Go quickly, Brother Cao is waiting for you outside the alley. He said he wants to talk to you about something." "Ah? Did you bring him here?" Yu Shu stood up in surprise.  Yu Xiaoxiu said with a flat mouth: "You still have to say, I don't know how much I have to say to let him wait outside, and I didn't ask him to follow me home, otherwise he would see me, Brother Jing, I'll see how you explain it."  Yu Xiaoxiu didn't mean anything else by saying this, it was just out of reason and he felt that it was not good for Cao Zixin to know that his sister, a girl whose family was unmarried, lived with a man in the same yard.  In this regard, Yu Shu had other ideas. Xue Rui was a very shrewd person. He would definitely be suspicious of Jing Chen when he met him. It was not good for too many people to know about Jing Chen, so it was better not to cause any complications.  "Well done," Yu Shu patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll go out and talk to you when I get back." "Well, go quickly and save him from looking for him later." Yu Xiaoxiu urged her,  Yu Shu held the charcoal for a long time and ran out without washing his dark hands. When he went out and looked at the entrance of the alley, he saw Xue Rui's conspicuous figure dressed in brocade.  Xue Rui also saw her and waved his hand towards her. Yu Shu quickly walked over and chatted with him: "Why did you come to the door?" Xue Rui hadn't seen her for several days. Now he was looking at someone. First  After looking at it twice, he pointed behind him and said, "I have something to ask you. It's not convenient to say it here. My car is parked on the street in front." Yu Shu thought he was going to ask her about helping him with business at the restaurant.  He followed him away. Who wanted to get on the carriage? His first sentence was: "I never asked you carefully, how did you get from Yiyang to Anling?" Yu Shu blinked, "No.  Did I tell you that I hired some escorts to take us to Beijing?" Xue Rui stared at her face for a while and suddenly said: "Then how did you get into trouble with the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce?" Yu Shu was confused.  Suddenly, he frowned and asked: "What do you mean by this?" Xue Rui knew that if he didn't explain clearly, this girl would not tell the truth to him, so he told her bluntly: "People from the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce are inquiring about your whereabouts, do you know?"  Yu Shu's expression changed. Xue Rui kept looking at her, catching the panic in her expression, and frowned. Since he met her, he has mostly seen her laughing and joking, but he has never seen her afraid.  What could make her lose her temper?  After hearing Xue Rui's words, Yu Shu knew that the worst thing had happened - Qiu Biao recognized her in front of the tavern that day.  "If you have anything, you might as well talk it over with me, and I can help you think of a solution." Xue Rui's tone was steady and comforting. After Yu Shu heard the words, he calmed down and thought about it for a momentThen she decided to confess to Xue Rui that now was not the time for her to show off her strength alone. Since Bi Qing and Qiu Biao found her, they would not let her go. Instead of hoping that they could not find her, it would be better to strike first.  , find a way to get rid of that group of people to avoid future troubles.  ¡°In this case, it would be best to have a helper like Xue Rui.  After considering the importance, she licked her lips and lowered her voice: "Do you still remember Mr. Pei from the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce? In June of this year, Xiaoxiu and I left Yiyang, and thanks to his favor, we caught up with businessmen who came to Beijing.  At that time, the merchant who led the caravan was named Bi Qing, and the captain of the escort was named Qiu Biao. We transferred to merchant ships along the way and were on the river."
