Lord, pay for the wine

Yan Anxuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "This thing looks really valuable!"

"...Is it the shopkeeper's?" Zong Jinyu asked again.

Yan Anxuan looked at Zong Jinyu sincerely and said, "... If I say this is mine, will you give it to me?"

"……Won't!"

"What a pity!" Yan Anxuan played with the string of beads back and forth, shook his head regretfully and said, "That...isn't mine."

"Does the shopkeeper know this?"

"...I know." Yan Anxuan became active and said, "I know all the valuable things."

"Then... have you seen the shopkeeper in the inn?" Zong Jinyu asked slowly.

Yan Anxuan touched his chin with one hand and twirled the beads with the other, lost in memory.

Zong Jinyu just sat there and waited for him quietly.

"... I seem to have a little impression, as if...someone showed it to me." Yan Anxuan said slowly, and then looked at Zong Jinyu with some doubts and said, "Why do you have this beading? Why? Do you know that this bead will impress me?"

"Because the beads were found in the shopkeeper's room." Zong Jinyu replied calmly.

"...Oh, I found it in my room, no wonder—" Yan Anxuan replied.

Zong Jinyu remained silent, waiting for Yan Anxuan's next words, and sure enough——

"What? What did you say? This valuable string of beads was found in my room?" Yan Anxuan specially emphasized the three words 'valuable'.

"Yes." Zong Jinyu nodded affirmatively.

"Then is there anything left?" Yan Anxuan asked eagerly.

"..." Zong Jinyu didn't answer.

"Hey, why don't you talk? What else is there? Come on, I'm dying of anxiety."

"I think the shopkeeper probably doesn't understand that thing."

"Why don't I understand?" Yan Anxuan was puzzled: "Maybe that thing is mine."

"...Since the shopkeeper said so." Zong Jinyu took out the box of rouge and put it in front of Yan Anxuan while saying so, and said, "This is it."

"What is this?" Yan Anxuan curiously opened the box, sniffed it, it smells so good.

Yan Anxuan brought the box close to his face, put down the string of beads and touched the contents of the box with his hands, with an angry expression on his face: "Jin Yu, are you kidding me? This is rouge! It's something for women! You Don't say it wasn't found in the inn, there are no women in our inn, how could there be such a thing?"

Zong Jinyu glanced at Yan Anxuan, and said calmly, "The shopkeeper's room."

"what?"

"Together with the beads, it was found in the shopkeeper's room."

"Is there any mistake? How can there be women's things in my room? I'm a man!" Yan Anxuan stood up and patted the table and said loudly.

Zong Jinyu looked at Yan Anxuan's whole body, and nodded in agreement: "The shopkeeper is indeed not a woman."

"I'm not a woman in the first place! And what kind of eyes do you have!"

"Wait...wait a minute," Yan Anxuan sat down close to Zong Jinyu, and said, "You only found these two vague things in my room?"

Zong Jinyu nodded.

"...What does this mean? Why is it that I am the only one who is not sure whether it belongs to me or not?"

"Shopkeeper, you can be sure of these two," Zong Jinyu pointed to the beads and rouge, and said, "They were left behind."

"...I just thought so. Now that you say that, I'm suddenly not sure."

Zong Jinyu picked up the box of rouge, opened it, twisted some and said to Yan Anxuan, "This kind of color and texture is the top grade of rouge."

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on rouge. You should have sent a lot of rouge like Pink Lady before!" Yan Anxuan said sourly. I don't know if it was because of Pink Lady or Zong Jinyu.

Zong Jinyu glanced at him and said, "The gift I gave is much more valuable than this."

"Cut—" Yan Anxuan thought secretly: he has the face of a rich family and a vicious young man!So what if there were more pink ladies in the past?Aren't you still in my inn like Lin Yuehua and the others as my slaves?Thinking of this, Yan Anxuan's mood improved a lot.

No need to look at Yan Anxuan's face, Zong Jinyu could imagine what he was thinking in his heart, so he didn't care, and just continued: "If that person stays behind—"

Upon hearing this, Yan Anxuan interrupted Zong Jinyu and said, "The thief is a woman!"

Zong Jinyu shook his head and sighed.

"No, no, you sighed and shook your head making me feel stupid!" Yan Anxuan complained dissatisfied.

Zong Jinyu raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that the shopkeeper knows me very well!"

"you!"

In the end, Yan Anxuan softened and said: "Go ahead!"

"It doesn't matter whether that person is a man or a woman. Last night, I re-surrounded the inn and found a few things."

"What did you find?"

"That man knows the inn very well, and the shopkeeper should have known it too." Zong Jinyu avoided the word 'that thief'.

"Well, the thief only stole the belongings in my room, and the other rooms did not move, and my belongings were taken away, but the room did not look messy."

"The shopkeeper is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Not only was the shopkeeper's room stolen last night, but the kitchen—"

"What? In the kitchen? What else can there be in the kitchen besides food? Is there anything to steal?" Yan Anxuan asked in amazement, "What was lost in the kitchen?"

"Pig head."

At this point in the conversation, Yan Anxuan was no longer surprised that this word appeared, so he just asked: "It's the pig's head that the pig girl gave you yesterday, and then the chef marinated it."

"The shopkeeper is very smart."

Yan Anxuan rolled his eyes and said, "If I forget this, I'll be a pig."

"That's right." Zong Jinyu affirmed, although his tone was still light, but the smile in the corner of his eyes revealed his current good mood.

asshole!Laugh at me again!Yan Anxuan glared at him.

"However, I'm still very surprised. According to the shopkeeper's temperament, he would be so calm after knowing that the property he had worked so hard to hide was stolen. I always feel that it is not like me, but like a new core." Zong Jinyu looked at Yan Anxuan with great interest and said.

"...I am myself. Of course I will be very sad and angry when the money I have worked so hard to earn is stolen! It's just...just that I suddenly remembered my father last night..." Yan Anxuan paused and said dissatisfied : "What is my hidden property, what is that saying? Of course my property must be hidden, otherwise it will be stolen? Many people can't find the place where I hide things." At the end , Yan Anxuan couldn't help being a little proud.

"But, the treasurer's belongings were stolen last night." Zong Jinyu revealed it bluntly.

"So that thief is a pervert! Unless someone knows my psychology very well, how would he know where I hide my things? Even the three people who have been following me, the chef, the second and the third, don't know, so I say Who is that thief?" Yan Anxuan's tone was filled with strong condemnation and resentment.

"The shopkeeper's hiding place should be in the camera obscura under the bed!"

"!" Yan Anxuan's expression was shocked, his eyes widened, as if to say: How do you know?I didn't tell you yesterday!And that camera obscura I made is very hidden!

"You... did you turn over my bed?"

"No." Zong Jinyu shook his head.

"Then crawled under my bed?"

"No." Zong Jinyu still shook his head.

"So how do you know?"

"It was just a guess, but now I can be sure."

Yan Anxuan stood up abruptly, pointed at him with trembling fingers, unable to speak well.

"It seems that I know the shopkeeper very well." Zong Jinyu said with a smile.

Yan Anxuan sat down wearily, and said, "What I just said doesn't count. After what you said just now, I think anyone can actually know about that place."

"Did the shopkeeper find anything unusual near the camera obscura?"

"Of course there are exceptions. It used to be full inside, but now it's empty." After speaking, Yan Anxuan recalled, "There are nothing else."

"Are you sure about the shopkeeper?" Zong Jinyu asked.

"Of course I'm sure!" After finishing speaking, Yan Anxuan became a little uncertain again: "Why don't I go and have a look again."

"If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, I'll go."

"...Then you go!" Yan Anxuan also wanted to see the way the young master who usually kept his fingers smacked in the spring got under the bed, it must be exciting and embarrassing!

Thinking of this, Yan Anxuan couldn't help snickering twice.

Zong Jinyu looked at him with raised eyebrows, Yan Anxuan pretended to be serious and cleared his throat and said, "Jin Yu, you go! My bed is very clean!"

"I think so, according to the shopkeeper's temperament, before the belongings are stolen, the shopkeeper should get under the bed and count his belongings every day! Therefore, it should be normal for the bottom of the bed to be clean!"

"...You!" You bastard!Yan Anxuan just cursed and looked at it in his heart, but didn't make a sound.

After Zong Jinyu said these words, he knew how Yan Anxuan would react, so he just smiled and got under the bed.

After Zong Jinyu got in, Yan Anxuan found out: Hey hey hey!Did you make a mistake!Why is it so cool to drill under a bed!How can you let me, the shopkeeper, get along?I will be jealous!I would absolutely be jealous!

After reading Su Sui, Yan Anxuan still knew what was going on, so he asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zong Jinyu slowly withdrew with a solemn expression.

Yan Anxuan's heart tightened when he saw it: Hey, hey, I'm very timid!But don't have any misfortunes or anything!Could it be just one night.Are there dead bodies under the bed or something?

As if seeing what Yan Anxuan was thinking, Zong Jinyu said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, there is no corpse under the bed, there are just a few words engraved with a knife—"

Yan Anxuan silently said that it would be good if there were no corpses, and at the same time quickly asked: "What's the word?"

Zong Jinyu took a deep look at Yan Anxuan and said, "Yan Anxuan!"
