After the two people at the table next to them finished eating, they walked downstairs.
Wu Mengming quickly said to Xu Xianchun: "Please allow me to follow these two people."
Xu Xianchun looked at him strangely: "Wu Mengming, what's wrong with these two people?"
Wu Mengming said: "The younger one thinks there is something wrong with these two people and may help the elder find clues."
Xu Xianchun was overjoyed.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't eat.
I'll pay you and leave.
Let's go together."
Wu Mengming said: "Sir, it's not good to have more people.
It's better to send another brother to the younger one."
Xu Xianchun smiled and said: "Okay, let's go.
You guys eat first, and then come find us when you're full."
Others said: "How about that?
Master and Wu Qianhu go first, and we can just follow from a distance."
Wu Mengming was afraid that the two people would disappear, so he walked out of the restaurant quickly.
Fortunately, the two people were not walking fast.
Xu Xianchun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, Wu Mengming, tell me why they have problems." " Wu Mengming looked at the two people in front of him, and then whispered: "High-quality huanghuali wood is very expensive.
From the younger's perspective, these two people don't look very rich.
They actually want to buy huanghuali, and the price is still very low.
This It’s unreasonable.”
Xu Xianchun said: "How do you know these two people are not very rich?
Maybe they don't want to show their wealth.
Huanghuali may be very cheap here."
Wu Mengming patiently explained: "If they were rich, it would be impossible for both of them to go out without taking their families.
Then there are already very few huanghuali, and the price has always been very expensive.
Zhangjiakou Fort is engaged in non-export business, so how could there be cheap huanghuali here?"
Here it is” Xu Xianchun actually didn't understand it very clearly, but he still patted Wu Mengming on the shoulder and said, "Yes, if we really find clues this time, you will be the first to do so."
Wu Mengming was overjoyed.
He knew that Xu Xianchun was a Jinshi scholar.
He was not very bright, but he was generous and never took credit for his subordinates.
So he replied: "I'd like to thank you in advance, but of course the first credit belongs to you.
As a child, I am very satisfied if I can get a little light from the adults.”
The two people in front went directly into a store selling furniture.
The name "Ruyiju" was hung on the door.
Xu Xianchun and the other two also entered the store and heard the shopkeeper discussing business with the two people who came first.
"Wang Yuanwai, this price is not only the lowest in Xuanfu, but also the lowest in the country.
You, boss, can rest assured about the goods in our store."
Wu Mengming stepped forward and looked at what they wanted to buy.
It was a set of tables and chairs.
Judging from the texture, it was indeed genuine huanghuali.
Looking at the style, it seemed a bit solemn.
Wu Mengming praised: "It has good wood, good chairs, and is very elegant.
When placed in the main hall, it looks like it is in a government office."
The shopkeeper changed his expression slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please come this way.
This set of tables and chairs has been ordered by Wang Yuanwai."

Wu Mengming ignored him, and just looked at the set of tables and chairs carefully, looking at the tabletop and the reverse side.
He turned the chair over, touched the texture with his hands, and praised it.
This put a lot of pressure on Wang Yuanwai, and he said directly to the shopkeeper: "I bought it."
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said to Wu Mengming: "Sir, this table and chair already belongs to Mr.
Wang.
Please move over here."
Wu Mengming put down his chair, patted the non-existent dust on his hands and said, "Since the things I like have been bought, shopkeeper, let's take our leave."
After that, he walked out directly.
Xu Xianchun hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
Wu Mengming whispered back: "Sir, don't be anxious.
I have already found the clues.
I want other brothers to follow the king.
We will visit his house tonight and collect the evidence."
Seeing how confident he was, Xu Xianchun patted his shoulder again and said, "Well, Wu Mengming, you are still playing riddles with me, but I don't care about you.
As long as you can solve the case, everything will be easy."
Wu Mengming said: "My lord, I am not sure yet.
When the evidence is conclusive, I will explain it to you in detail."
In the evening, Xu Xianchun and others came outside the king's outer house.
Wu Mengming climbed over the wall first, and then a bird chirped from inside.
Everyone came to the door together.
The door opened silently, and several people filed in.
Another person came forward, took out a thin bamboo tube, inserted it gently through the window paper of the bedroom, then carefully blew a long breath, waited for a few minutes, turned around, and clicked twice.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The man came to Xu Xianchun and said, "Sir, the maid is not here today, so only the husband and wife are at home.
We can start working."
Xu Xianchun waved his hand, and everyone entered the main room and lit the lamps.
Wu Mengming picked up the huanghuali chair, turned it around, motioned to his companions to bring the light closer, pointed to a place on the inside of the chair leg and said: "Sir, please see, when the little one touched this place during the day, it felt a little uneven.
Now under the light When I saw it, it was really engraved.
It was from the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong City.
It was from Liaoyang, so there was something wrong with it."
Xu Xianchun was still worried, so he went up to look at it carefully, touched it with his hand, and then said: "I can't run away now.
Let me see how he explains how things from Liaoyang are sold here."
Wu Mengming whispered: "Sir, this is just a piece of evidence.
We need more evidence to nail this matter down.
It's better to call more people.
We have too few people."
Xu Xianchun thought for a while and said: "It's too troublesome to go back and call for help.
Let's go to Wanquan Youwei to call in some sergeants.
It's just a matter of building prestige.
They should have no problem doing it.
We'll keep the family under surveillance first, and then find other ways to find them."
Let’s see if there are any clues, and then we can start arresting people for interrogation after Wan Quan arrives, and we must make sure nothing goes wrong.”
Everyone made a promise together, then carefully restored the tables and chairs.
After leaving the gate, one person was left to close the door, and then climbed out over the wall.
Xu Xianchun asked Wu Mengming to look for clues here, and he went to Wanquan Youwei twenty miles away by himself.

After he showed his Jinyiwei waist card, the Qianhu here immediately welcomed him in.
Xu Xianchun did not bother with him and directly asked to dispatch a hundred soldiers to assist Jinyiwei in handling the case.
The thousand households were also very happy, and they called a hundred households directly from outside and said: "Mangui, now there is an opportunity to make meritorious service.
Do you want to go?"
Man Gui looks about in his thirties, with a big beard and a very tough look, but a pair of small eyes wandering around his face ruins the overall impression.
He blinked his small eyes and asked: "But if you want to behead Beili, do you still need fifty taels of silver for one head?"
Qianhu said helplessly: "Why do you always have to reward money?
Wouldn't it be better to be promoted?"
Mangui said neatly: "If I don't go, I don't want a promotion, I just want money
