Chapter 162

"Miss, look, there is a door in the backyard that leads directly to other places and is very hidden."

The servant brought Xu Yuan to the back door.

Xu Yuan looked up and saw that there was an alley at the back door, which was indeed well hidden.

There were several rooms in the backyard for rest. There was a distance between the yard and the shop in front, so if a stranger suddenly broke in, he could be noticed at the first time.

This place was really good, and Xu Yuan was very satisfied with it.

"Is there any entrance here?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked the servant again.

"Entrance?"

The servant was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xu Yuan to ask this suddenly, and asked tentatively, "Miss, I don't know what entrance you are talking about."

"A place like a secret room or a secret passage."

The layout of the front and back is so cleverly designed, I'm afraid there must be something special.

After Xu Yuan asked this, the servant patted his head and praised Xu Yuan, "Miss, you are really an expert."

"There is indeed a secret room in the corner of this shop, but..." The servant hesitated when he said this.

"Miss, are you really interested in buying this shop?"

After all, a secret room is a bit hidden. If the other party knows about it and is unwilling to buy it, wouldn't it be a loss?

"How much silver does this shop cost?"

"Eighty taels."

The servant said, looking closely at Xu Yuan, ready to lower the price if the lady has any objections to the price.

But Xu Yuan didn't frown when she heard the price.

"Okay." Xu Yuan answered very straightforwardly.

These eighty taels were nothing to her at the moment.

The servant didn't expect Xu Yuan to be so quick, and seeing that the expression on her face didn't seem fake, he took Xu Yuan to the secret room.

"Miss, look, if you want to enter this secret room, there are some traps around it. It was originally used to store silver."

Xu Yuan was even more delighted when she heard the servant say that and entered the secret room.

Unexpectedly, this secret room also has an empty window. From this window, you can see everything outside, but outsiders cannot see everything inside.

As long as it is not exposed actively, outsiders will not notice the existence of this place.

For a moment, Xu Yuan felt that the eighty taels were worth it.

"If I guessed correctly, this shop should be a medicine shop, why is it like this?"

Facing Xu Yuan's question, the servant sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

"Miss, you don't know that this shop was originally doing well, but my original shopkeeper ran away overnight because he offended someone, and the shop was ruined like this." "

But don't worry, Miss, I have the deed of this shop. The shopkeeper came back once after that and asked me to sell the shop."

The servant said this and looked at Xu Yuan cautiously, fearing that she would choose not to sell it because of the trouble she had caused.

"As long as the deed is there, I will not regret it."

"Cui Liu, give him the banknote."

She came here to buy a shop, and for this reason she withdrew two hundred taels of banknotes in advance.

But she didn't expect that she would use less than half of it.

Cui Liu quickly took out the banknote of eighty taels after receiving the order.

The servant was still a little unbelievable until he saw the banknote of eighty taels.

He quickly took out the deed and presented it to Xu Yuan with both hands, and his tone was more respectful.

"Miss, this is the deed of this shop. May I ask what you want to do after buying it?"

"Hmm?" Xu Yuan hesitated.

The servant was afraid that Xu Yuan would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Miss, I think if you need help in the future, maybe I can help you."

"I want to open a clinic, can you help me?"

Xu Yuan asked the servant.

"Medical... clinic?" The servant opened his eyes wide, and even Cui Liu, who had been following Xu Yuan, was also surprised.

Although she had also guessed what her lady's intention was to buy the shop, she didn't expect that it was related to opening a clinic.

"Miss, if you want to open a clinic, you must need medicinal materials. If you need this, I can indeed help you."

"Where do the medicinal materials come from and what is their quality?"

"Don't worry about this, Miss. Those medicinal materials are of high quality, but they will be more expensive in terms of silver."

"That's no problem." Xu Yuan replied. If this person is reliable, it would be good to be able to solve the problem of medicinal materials.

"My name is Wang Er. From now on, you can just call me by my name."

"Okay."

Xu Yuan could see that Wang Er was smart. Since he had been in this shop for so long, he must know more about some things than she did.

And she needed these people right now.

"Wang Er, I'll leave this shop to you for now. In addition, there are a few aspects of the structure that need to be changed."

"As for the land deed, although it was handed over to me, it's just the shopkeeper you just mentioned. I don't want any disputes to arise later."

Xu Yuan reminded.

Wang Er nodded quickly, "Don't worry, there won't be any disputes."

Xu Yuan then took Cui Liu away, but this time she chose the back door of the courtyard. Although she listened to what Wang Er said, she still wanted to know where it led to in the end.

"Miss, isn't this exit also outside the city?"

Cui Liu said in surprise.

Xu Yuan was also a little surprised. The most important thing was that this place was not far from the Regent Palace where Ye Siyan was.

"Miss, are you really confident in leaving the shop to Wang Er?"

On the way back to the palace, Cui Liu still felt a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Wang Er?"

"No, I just think that the shopkeeper he mentioned caused trouble and came back later. This sounds like a fabrication. Moreover, the person behind the shop who designed such a shop and the existence of a secret room must be extraordinary." The

more Cui Liu talked, the more suspicious she felt.

"Especially since Wang Er is just a servant, how could he directly take out the deed? Even if he wanted to take it, he should have asked the shopkeeper he mentioned to come forward."

"Miss, no matter what, we should be careful about this matter."

Facing these doubts raised by Cui Liu, Xu Yuan nodded and felt that it made sense.

"After I go back, I will send someone to investigate."

"Yeah." As Cui Liu was talking, she saw a figure passing by not far away.

"Miss, why does that person look so much like Lu Rou?"

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and led Cui Liu to a corner. Not far away, he saw Lu Rou coming out of a rouge shop. She looked like she had just been irritated by someone and there was anger on her face.

"She looks so much like Lu Rou, and it's her." Xu Yuan said coldly. Cui Liu was extremely surprised, but Lu Rou was taken to the Dali Temple some time ago. How could she be released after just a few days?
