Chapter 751 Prove that You Are Ye Wenyan
The young man was delighted when she mentioned West Tower. "Who in Chiyun City doesn't know West Tower? In this city, apart from the most famous Shen family, everyone knows West Tower. West Tower is not just one place, but several places. To be precise, West Tower is a business name. There are four shops in the city that have the name of West Tower, including a jewelry store, a restaurant, a wine shop, and a bank. I heard that West Tower is the business of a big shot. Although no one knows who the so-called big shot is, even the famous Shen family never dares to take over West Tower."
Ye Wenyan pondered again: "Shen family? Is the Shen family famous in Chiyun City? By the way, little brother, what should I call you?"
The young man smiled sincerely, "My name is Xiao Jiu, you can just call me by my name. As for the Shen family you mentioned, it is the most famous family in Chiyun City. You also know that our city is next to the shoreless sea, and many people make a living by fishing. The Shen family is the best fisherman, and has been the best for hundreds of years. As a result, they have become the most prestigious family in Chiyun City."
Ye Wenyan was puzzled. "How good is it to catch fish? I heard that there is a sea formation on the shoreless sea, and it is shrouded in fog all year round. Fishermen can only go a few miles out to sea, and all they catch are small fish and shrimps. Is it possible that the Shen family is an exception?"
"The Shen family is indeed an exception." Xiao Jiu talked to her about the Shen family, starting from how the Shen family could sail farther, and going on to say that the Shen family could catch very big fish. As he was talking, he mentioned an incident - "It was probably the year before last. There was a big wave on the sea, and the wave was as high as two people. That big wave came down and directly swept away three fishing boats. It is said that when the wave came, the Shen family's fishing boat was also there. People on the shore watched the big wave from afar. At that time, some people said that this was the end. No matter how powerful the Shen family was, they would definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe. With such a big wave, how could anyone be left alive? I'm afraid there would be nothing left of the boat.
But the Shen family's boat was able to get out of the big waves safely, and even the people on board were all alive. Apart from being soaked, there was no other damage. Girl, do you think this is strange? Later, some people said that the Shen family was protected by the sea god. There are gods on the shoreless sea, and they have been protecting the Shen family for hundreds of years. They said that the Shen family is the king of the sea. "
Ye Wenyan frowned as she listened. She was not sure whether what this person said was true or false. Of course, Xiao Jiu was definitely not lying, because he was standing in front of her. It was too easy for her to tell whether a person was telling the truth or not. Even without using magic, she could see through a person's nature at a glance. The reason for her uncertainty was that she was not sure whether what Xiao Jiu heard was true or false.
Often when people spread a story, the second person they pass it on begins to exaggerate it, and the story becomes more and more false, until it can only be treated as a story and has nothing to do with the event itself. In her analysis, it may be that the Shen family is better at determining the direction of the ship than others. As for the sea god, it is pure bullshit.
Where did the Sea God come from in the Shoreless Sea? If there really is one, it might be from the Ye family in the previous life. After all, for so many years, it was the successive patriarchs of the Xuanmai Ye family who had been protecting the safety of this sea area.
After walking a little further and turning two corners, Xiao Jiu stopped and pointed to a bank on the street and said, "Look, girl, that Tongqing Bank is the business of Xilou Company. Look at the plaque below, there is the Xilou logo engraved on it!"
Ye Wenyan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a small seal engraved on the lower left corner of the plaque, with the words "West Building" written on it.
However, the bank's door was tightly closed, and there was a smooth layer of snow at the entrance, which showed that no one had been in or out for at least a day and a night.
She said to Xiao Jiu, "I'll go knock on the door. If someone answers me, I won't go to the government office."
Xiao Jiu said, "Eh?" "Does the young lady know anyone in Tongqing Bank?"
Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "I have a distant relative who works in a bank, and I came to Chiyun City to seek refuge with him. I didn't expect that this place had also been hit by the disaster. I wonder if my relative is still alive. I'll go try my luck!" She walked forward, tentatively found the steps, then walked up step by step, and reached out to knock on the door.
Xiao Jiu was worried, so he followed her from behind and even helped her up when she went up the stairs, fearing that she would fall.
Ye Wenyan knew that he was a good person, so she did not reject his kindness. Besides, she was really feeling uncomfortable at the moment, and the road was not easy to walk, so she felt more at ease with someone to support her. However, she could not knock on the door of Tongqing Bank. She knocked for a long time but no one responded.
Xiao Jiu said, "It seems that no one is inside. You should go to the government office! There is a natural disaster right now. Almost all businesses in the city have been closed. Both the shopkeepers and the employees have returned home. The relative you are looking for may have left Chiyun City."
Ye Wenyan thought for a while and shook his head, "No. Other businesses can be closed, but the money houses will not be closed. At this time, there should be many people who want to withdraw their savings for emergency use. If the money houses are closed at this time, the people will definitely panic and make trouble. The government will never allow such a thing to happen, so this kind of business should be under the control of the government now. Even if there are not people there all the time, at least they will open at set times every day.
Besides, you said that the owner behind the West Building is a big shot. If he is a big shot, his vision should not be so small. "
As the two were talking, a group of officials came by. Seeing them standing in front of the bank, they stopped and said, "It's not time to open yet. You're here too early. Go home quickly. Why are you wandering around the streets in this cold weather?"
Ye Wenyan asked, "What time does the bank open every day? I haven't been out for a long time, so I haven't heard about this."
One of the officers glanced to the left of the gate, then smiled bitterly, walked forward, stretched out his hand to a spot and began to clear the snow. He cleared out a notice - "It was covered by snow, no wonder you didn't know. Look, it opens at 5 p.m. every day, and it's only open for two hours a day. It's not even noon yet, you can go home and eat first, and come back at 5 p.m.."
Ye Wenyan took a look and found that it was indeed a notice posted by the bank, but she didn't notice it because it was covered by heavy snow. So she nodded to the official and said, "Thank you, we'll come back at 3 pm." After that, she pulled Xiao Jiu and the two continued to walk forward. After walking a little further, she whispered to Xiao Jiu, "Where is the jewelry store in the west building? Take me to see it!"
Xiao Jiu thought that she was eager to seek refuge with her relatives, so he did not doubt her and took her around a corner and walked toward another street.
After walking for about two more incense sticks, we arrived at the jewelry store. The name of this jewelry store is "Ruyi Pavilion", a very ordinary name, but it becomes unusual because of the two words "West Building" engraved on the lower left corner of the plaque.
Ye Wenyan stood in front of the Ruyi Pavilion for a while, but did not rush to knock on the door. Instead, he carefully recalled what Quan Qinghua had said about the West Tower. But after thinking about it, it was just some things. For example, the West Tower was his business. Except for Lin'an City, all provinces in Northern Qi had influence from the West Tower. Her jewelry was also sold in the jewelry store under the name of the West Tower. He also said that he went to Chiyun City this time because the jewelry sold in the Chiyun City jewelry store was recognized by a girl.
This information was of no help to her in knocking on the door of Ruyi Pavilion. What was really useful was a habitual movement of Quan Qinghua that she noticed when she was sitting with him in the carriage.
That was the rhythm of the mechanical fan, which seemed random, just like people tapping their fingers when they were bored. She didn't think much about it at the time, and she was also bored, so she followed his tapping a few times and memorized a set of patterns.
Thinking back now, Quan Qinghua's seemingly unintentional tapping of the fan had the same rhythm every time.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door of Ruyi Pavilion in the same rhythm as Quan Qinghua. Dang, d ...
She said, “From the north.”
The man inside asked again, "Where is the north?"
She answered: "A place that the West Tower cannot go to."
After hesitating for a while, he opened the door a crack. Ye Wenyan saw a little girl sticking her head out to look at him. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it you?" Then she spoke silently and said with her lips - "Miss Ye Si?"
Ye Wenyan nodded, "It's me." Then he also said with lip language - "The Fourth Prince asked me to come and see someone."
The girl nodded immediately, "Yes, I recognize you, please come in!" After that, she immediately opened the door a little more and invited Ye Wenyan in, but stopped Xiao Jiu and asked him, "Who are you?"
Xiao Jiu immediately waved his hand, "I am not a nobody, and I will not go in. I am just sending this girl to the city to find her relatives. Now that you let her in, my mission is also completed." He looked at Ye Wenyan, "Take care, girl, we will meet again if we are destined."
He didn't stay long, but waved goodbye with a smile. Before Ye Wenyan could thank him, he had already walked into the wind and snow.
The girl at the jewelry store asked her, "Did they really just take you into the city? What happened to the Fourth Miss? Why did you ask someone to take you into the city?" Ye Wenyan shook her head, "It's nothing, we just met by chance. The Fourth Prince said someone was waiting for me in Chiyun City, is he still there?"
The little girl sighed, "The person is gone." Then she looked at Ye Wenyan again, carefully examining him, and after a while she said, "Although you knocked on the door in the same way as in the portrait, I am still not sure of your identity. Do you have any other way to prove yourself? I am sorry, but the person we are going to receive has a special identity, so we have to be cautious. It would be bad if we recognize the wrong person."
Ye Wenyan nodded, "I understand." But even if she understood, it was still difficult to prove that she was the real Ye Wenyan. She didn't have any tokens on her, and Chiyun City was not like Lin'an City. Even if she took out the token, people might not recognize it and would not believe it.
She stood there thinking for a while, and finally came up with a plan. She said to the girl:
