After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

By the afternoon, Shen Yong had no more gossip to talk about.

He could only bring a set of Go and play Gobang, which Su Qinchao had once taught him, with the two of them.

This was another way for them to pass the time besides chatting. It was simple and interesting. Even he and Huang Yanchu, who was not very literate, could play it.

However, the two of them were often abused by Su Qinchao, and they had to give him some money every time.

"I won again. Do you want to play more? Including this round, you already owe me one hundred and twenty copper coins." Su Qinchao threw down the white piece in his hand.

"Let's play again!" Shen Yong said unconvincedly, and redistributed the 30 chess pieces to each other. This time he wanted to use the black pieces to change his luck.

"How about letting Brother Huang take over? You take a break." He felt that Shen Yong's mind became more and more confused, and it was becoming easier for him to win.

"No, that's it." Shen Yong said, and took the lead in placing a black piece on the chessboard.

"Okay." He naturally didn't mind if someone was willing to give him money.

Then Su Qin moved to several pits away and leisurely placed his white pieces.

"Why do you put this one so far away?" Shen Yong wondered, holding up the black piece. It seemed that this guy would change the way he played every time.

But every time they managed to block his way, leaving him helpless.

"Put it wherever you want. It's your turn." Su Qin pointed at the chessboard.

"I'll put it next to you." Shen Yong placed one of his black pieces behind Su Qinchao's white piece.

He planned to put Su Qinchao wherever he wanted in the future. Even if he couldn't win, he would not let the other party win.

"Hey, I'm putting it here, do you want to follow?" Su Qinchao placed another one about ten pits apart.

"and."

"Okay, what about here?"

"Follow me too!"

"What about this?"

"Still following!"

"I win again!"

"How did I win? I clearly blocked all the roads." Shen Yong opened his eyes wide and looked left and right.

"Here, it's connected diagonally!" Huang Yanchu gestured on the chessboard.

As a bystander, he saw clearly that from the third step onwards, Shen Yong was led into a ditch by Su Qinchao...

"So that's how it is..." Shen Yong scratched his head and then understood:

"No more playing, no more playing, you're too cunning!" Shen Yong threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box. It was simply impossible to defend against.

"How can I be treacherous? It's just that you insist on following me, Brother Huang, and have a game?" Su Qinchao smiled, picked up the remaining chess pieces one by one, and then looked at Huang Yanchu.

"Let's do it." After watching for so long, Huang Yanchu has been itching to try his hand. He also thinks he has seen through all of Su Qinchao's tricks.

...

"Hey, thank you! Brother Shen has two hundred and sixty copper coins, and Brother Huang has two hundred and thirty." When it was almost time to go off duty, Su Qinchao and Shen Yong were about to finish the last game.

After an afternoon of work, he had reaped a lot of rewards. In total, he won nearly 500 copper coins, or half a tael of silver, from the two men.

When converted, it is actually much more than what he earns as a clerk.

You should know that his monthly salary was less than 35 taels of silver, which is a little more than 1 tael a day.

I made a small profit of half a tael in less than half a day, which is much more than working as a errand boy.

"I won't come again next time." Shen Yong took out a small silver coin from his arms and threw it over, saying solemnly.

"You said the same thing last time." Huang Yanchu glanced over and then touched his purse.

Finding that there was almost no change left, he told Su Qinchao that they would give it together next time.

Su Qinchao naturally agreed. After seeing the two people off, he slowly began to tidy up the messy desk.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in!" Su Qinchao put the last pen back in its place and looked up at the person who came.

"Excuse me, are you General Su Lang? My master asked me to give this to you." The man who came was a very young soldier.

He looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a small cloth bag in his hand, and standing in the house rather awkwardly.

However, despite this, it cannot conceal the clear and transparent Zen spirit between his eyebrows.

It looked vaguely familiar, but not much.

"Who is your master?" Su Qinchao straightened up and waved for him to come closer to talk.

“It’s Yuan Ji.”

"What about the others?" Yuan Ji was a palace soldier he was relatively familiar with.

He is diligent and clever, and usually runs errands on his own, and would never ask others for help.

According to him, the main purpose was to become familiar to the adults so that if there was an opportunity for promotion in the future, he could ask someone to speak for him.

"I don't know. Master said that if there is no news from him in two days, he will find a way to give this thing to you." said the young soldier.

He then handed the cloth bag in his hand towards Su Qin.

"What is he doing recently?" Su Qinchao finally took over.

After opening it, I found that it was a palm-sized piece of white silk with no words on it.

There must be some mystery. Su Qinchao thought about it for a moment, then folded the white silk again and stuffed it into his arms.

"It seems like he was helping Chang'an County investigate something, but he didn't tell me what it was."

"I see, you go down."

Afterwards, it was finally time to get off duty, and he had no time to say goodbye to Shen Yong and Huang Yanchu who were behind him.

Su Qinchao rode his horse and hurried home.

He remembered that he had collected a lot of strange and weird things in the past, which were placed under the bed in the main house by Yunniang.

Things like high-concentration distilled liquor, extremely fine powder, and so on.

There should be something there that can decipher this piece of white silk.

When he touched the white silk before, his fingertips vaguely felt something different on it.

Yuan Ji skipped the Chang'an County Government Office and delivered the white silk to him.

He had reason to suspect that he no longer trusted the Chang'an County Government, so he wanted to find out what was written on it first.

Otherwise, if we rashly go to the Chang'an County Government, we might end up alerting the enemy.

"Why did my husband come back so early?" Yunniang looked at Su Qinchao in surprise as he hurried in.

On weekdays, unless it was windy or rainy, her husband always liked to let the horse walk slowly after work.

By the way, you can enjoy the four seasons scenery along the way in the evening and return home in the sunset.

"I have an emergency. Are all my messy stuff still under the bed?" Su Qinchao asked, having already lifted the bed curtain and half-kneeling, preparing to crawl down to look for them.

"It's not there anymore. There was too much dust, so I asked someone to put it in the warehouse." After saying this, Yunniang turned to the yard.

He called Yu'er who was feeding the cat, gave him detailed instructions, and then returned to his room.

At this time, Su Qinchao had washed his hands, changed into casual clothes, and sat at the table waiting.

"There may be another case recently." Su Qinchao looked at Yunniang who sat down next to him and sighed softly.

He had been thinking about spending some time with her tonight and had been looking forward to it since morning.

But this sudden incident did not give him a chance.

"Are you going on a long journey again?" Yunniang looked into her husband's eyes nervously.

"No, it should be in Chang'an. We haven't figured out what happened yet." Su Qinchao took his wife's hand and stroked it.

Then he gently placed a kiss on her gentle and beautiful brows.
