"What should we do now!"

"You want to check it?"

I looked at him with a smile: "I don't believe it. This is what you are doing, and you can still leave it alone."

He smiled himself, turned to look at me: "Do you still have the energy now?"

I glanced at him and said, "I am not like you, and I am not a sick person."

He was ridiculed by me like this and couldn't help laughing, then said, "Since you are still energetic, then you can do whatever you promised Mr. Hu just now."

I did it for a while, then looked back and thought about what I said just now: "Go to find a pawnshop?"

"Um."

"But don't you agree, isn't Mr. Hu's son really the one who steals the armor?"

"Although I agree, this is just our guess. And even if it wasn't stolen by his son, perhaps it was stolen by an ordinary thief, he could only go to the pawnshop to make some money after the stolen."

"..." I frowned and said, "I'll check the pawnshop, what about you?"

"I'll go to another place to ask. If it's not done by ordinary thieves, then things might be more complicated."

So, let him check for more complicated things...

My brows frowned deeper.

At this time, I suddenly realized that things seemed to have become a bit complicated. This time, we came to Fengxiang and had to continue rushing to find Nangong Lizhu at the imperial tomb. I knew better that this trip was to find antidote to relieve the poison on his body. Why are you running around for a set of armor now? It seems that you put the cart before the horse?

I hesitated and said, "Are you really going? But - we also have to escort the coffin of the concubine to the imperial tomb!"

Qinghan said: "Of course, the important matter cannot be delayed, but this time Xie Feng escaped, I think His Majesty the Emperor may have to delay Fengxiang for one or two days, and at least find out a little to make people feel at ease before he can get on the road."

"What if we should leave then and the matter has not been found out yet?"

"If this matter is really just a trivial matter of a chicken crowing and a dog stealing, it would be okay if you can't find it out, but you're afraid of it-"

He didn't say the following words, obviously he was reserved. But I knew in my heart that if this matter was not a trivial matter of robbers and dogs, it would be a big deal.

I thought about it and said, "Okay."

So I took a carriage to the pawnshop in the city to check it out, and he and a few guards were asking around. After about an hour or two, I returned to the inn and naturally I found nothing. All the pawnshops had never received the armor. Instead, some of the jewelry on my body attracted the attention of the magistrates and wanted to buy it for a lot of money.

I was perfunctory with them for a long time. When I returned to the station, I was exhausted, but I still went to Miaoyan's room first. She was having lunch and was still a little resentful about why I didn't call her when I went out, leaving her so lonely in the station alone. Later, I learned that I was going out with Qinghan, so I stopped talking.

"Where is your father? He didn't come to accompany you?"

"The father is busy with important things, so Miaoyan is not easy to disturb."

"Miaoyan is so well-behaved."

I accompanied her to use something and watched her go to bed and take a nap before going out. Qinghan finally walked in from outside with a full of heat.

I hurried forward: "Have you found out what?"

His face was red from the sun. He entered the shade of the station and took a breath. He took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his face, and then said, "Let's go back to the room first."

"Um."

I asked him to prepare a basin of cold water for him to wash his face. He changed his clothes that were already soaked in sweat. After a little scrubbing, he finally felt a little refreshed. Then he walked to the table and the cooling soup was delivered. He took a few sips and then sighed.

I said, "What did you find out? I found nothing here, and I didn't receive that armor in all the pawn shops."

He nodded: "I know, you must not be able to find it there."

"how?"

"Because, I found Mr. Hu's son."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"I gave him some money, and he told me everything. He said that the armor was indeed not stolen by him. He went back this morning to use some things from the shop to exchange for money. Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the door, he was caught and beaten by Dad Hu."

"It's really not him." I sighed lowly, "Then the thread will be broken. Now I have to go to the city to find a thief and a pair of armor, which is a needle in a haystack."

Qinghan smiled: "That may not be."

I turned to look at him: "What does it mean?"

He said, "Have you ever thought that Mr. Hu's family has so many valuable things, why his son just pointed to the armor to steal. If he stole something else, according to Aunt Hu's attitude of pampering him, even if half of their family was empty, he would not make his father so angry."

Then I suddenly realized that it makes sense.

Could it be that-

I looked at him and said, "Have you found out something?"

Qinghan nodded and said, "I asked Hu Liu about it. He said that it was only recently that his creditor started asking him for the armor at home, saying that as long as he got that armor, he would be exempted from all the debts he owed."

A set of armor will save all debts?

"How much does he owe people?"

"A lot of profits are almost two hundred taels."

"That--"

"So there is something strange in the middle." Qinghan said: "I have made an agreement with him to help him pay off the debt he owed, but the condition is that he will take me to see his creditor."

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with that creditor?"

"Maybe, maybe not, it's all done until you see him."

"When did you make an appointment?"

"This afternoon. Hu Liu was originally impatient and immediately wanted to take me over to meet his creditor, afraid that later, those people would really cut off one of his hands, but—" He smiled and looked at me: "I don't have money on me, so I can only come back and ask you for it."

I was stunned. Before I could react, I saw him smiling and saying to me, "Send it a little."

I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Liu Qinghan, Liu Qinghan, you have today too!

I raised one hand and scratched my palm upwards. He was stunned: "What?"

"Tea!"

"oh."

He immediately got up and poured me a cup of tea, and put it respectfully in my hand. I took it and blew the tea foam on it, and said slowly: "That's right, people should have some vigor."

He held back his smile and looked at me: "Yes, yes, yes, what else do you want, Miss?"
