Chapter 489 The safe was pried

Qing Feng felt a little regretful: "During the college examination, wouldn't the girl be alone in the examination room?"

Four grown men and a few women were watching the girl take the exam alone. Thinking about that scene, Qing Feng found it very scary.

"There's nothing we can do about that," Zhao Ruxi said helplessly.

The two people from the Capital Girls' Academy were both ranked at the bottom in the county examinations. It was normal to fail in the government examinations. Zhao Ruxi would have to go on alone for the rest of the journey, without any female companions.

However, the scene Qing Feng imagined might be scary to other women. In Zhao Ruxi's eyes, it was nothing.

Did she experience few big scenes in her previous life? This is nothing.

After the government examination, the painting training classes in various provinces also ended. Zhao Ruxi suddenly had more time.

On this day, she called Zhou Chun and asked: "Is everything normal in the workshop and shop recently?"

Zhou Chuntao: "There are two things that need to be known to the girl. One is that a family's safe was broken into ten days ago, and all the jewelry contained in it was stolen. The family wanted to come to the store to cause trouble, probably because they were afraid that the store was

Your Majesty, I didn’t dare to make a fuss, I just came to the shop and cried to Shopkeeper Shi.”

"At that time, the girl was taking a government examination. The villain did not dare to disturb the girl. He asked shopkeeper Shi to report the man to the official. After a few words of comfort and intimidation, the man went back. Later, he did not find out who stole the thing."

"Another thing is that the head of the small peach village given by the eldest princess accidentally knew that the servant of Bailu Village opened a rice noodle shop. He found the villain and mentioned it to the villain in a subtle way. He also wanted to do something to make a living and increase the village.

The income of the servants. The villain said that he would have to ask the girl before he could reply to him."

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "I will take Xiaotaozhuang's affairs seriously. If I think of any good ideas, I will let you know."

The reason why I didn't interfere with Xiaotaozhuang originally was because it was a gift from Princess Shangde. It was not easy for her to dictate and change things as soon as she took over, and the servants of Xiaotaozhuang could live a good life.

Now she and Princess Shangde run a textile factory together, and their relationship is not as close as usual. After so long, the servants of Xiaotaozhuang are still honest and have not caused any trouble because of the change of owner to a low-status owner.

.In this case, it’s time for her to find a job as a servant in Xiaotaozhuang.

Thinking of the thief, she smiled and said, "I thought a thief would break into the safe in two or three months. I never thought they were so incompetent and had to fumble for half a year before they could open the lock."

Zhou Chun: "..." Is the girl hoping that the thief will pick her lock?

"Call Shi Chao and ask him to bring the registration book." Zhao Ruxi ordered.

"yes."

At this time, Zhao Ruxi was not in Beining but at home. Baoningxuan was not far from Suiping's residence, and Shi Chao came over soon.

Zhao Ruxi did not accept the registration book in his hand and asked: "When I sold safes, I asked you to verify customer information. Did you do it seriously?"

"Yes, girl, every time a safe is sold, the villain has someone register the address. When it is delivered to the door, he has someone check it to confirm the identity of the buyer and only give up after the address is correct."

Zhou Chun also testified on the side: "Shopkeeper Shi carefully carried out the girl's instructions. The villain also checked at the time and found that they were indeed done well."

Zhao Ruxi asked again: "Did you do the registration and verification yourself, or did you ask someone to do it?"

"The villain was afraid of making mistakes, so he asked a clerk named Cheng Hongyun to take charge of this matter. The villain also kept an eye on it, and the two of them checked each other to avoid mistakes," Shi Chao said.

"Then did you find anything strange during the registration process?" Zhao Ruxi asked again.

Shi Chao thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."

"About the Chinese New Year, someone wanted to buy a safe, but he had to pick it up himself instead of asking someone to deliver it to him. The shop clerk told him that this was a rule set by the owner. If it was not delivered to his house, they would not dare to sell it to him.

The customer was very angry at first, said he wouldn't buy it, and walked away. But a few days later, he went to buy a safe."

"The guy who delivered the safe came back and reported to the villain that the family was very strange. They lived in a dilapidated alley in the north of the city. The house was not big and shabby. The family wore commoners and didn't even have any servants at home.

, or his two sons came out to help lift the safe. How could such a family be willing to spend eight hundred silver to buy a safe? There are some valuable things in his family that need to be installed."

"Because we sell safes, we have seen a lot of customers. Some people don't want to show their wealth. They look ordinary on the surface, but they are actually very rich, or they have some things they think are important to install, so they don't want to show off.

Spend money to buy a safe. But at least this kind of customer wears silk and satin, and there are a few servants at home. Not to mention how nice the house they live in is, at least it is in a good location and well maintained. There are really no people as poor as this family."

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Is that all? Is there anything else strange?"

Shi Chao said: "Yes. What's even more strange is that less than a month later, another family came to buy a safe. This family is not far from that family, and their family situation looks even worse."

"Because this matter is rather strange, I personally went to check it twice and found that the two families have very ordinary backgrounds. The former family does a small business and earns hard-earned money, and their daily life is relatively economical; the latter family buys

There is only one person in the house who holds the safe, and this person is not usually engaged in business, he seems to be just a street gangster."

"Because they are so impressive, the villain will remember them firmly."

If we say that when Zhao Ruxi first asked them to register and verify the status of the safe purchaser, Shi Chao and the store clerks did not understand her intention. They felt that Zhao Ruxi was unnecessary and gave them a lot of extra work to do.

Still have some complaints.

You must know that those who can afford a safe have servants and carriages at home. They can just take the safe home after buying it. Where can I need a shop to deliver it?

Miss Pian made such a rule. She would not deliver goods on the spot on the pretext of lack of supply. Instead, she would ask the customer to leave their address, and then ask the clerk to deliver the goods to their door the next day, and verify whether the address registered by the customer is consistent with the delivery address.

By the way, let's take a look at the family's financial situation.

I didn't understand it at the time, but when Zhao Ruxi asked her just now, Shi Chao had already vaguely understood her intention. He immediately admired his girl's foresight.

"You should go to the Yamen now and tell the arrester about the situation of these two families. Just say that you thought their situation was a bit strange at the time and ask them to check on these two families." Zhao Ruxi said.
