An order from the Government Office?
Shen Bai found it a little strange.
Usually, when Zhou Qing came looking for him, the two of them would just chat about everyday trifles.
Here in Shengyun County, Zhou Qing was Shen Bai's only friend, and the same was true for Zhou Qing.
But now, Zhou Qing wore a rare, solemn expression. Shen Bai felt this was no simple matter.
It was indeed easy to be overheard talking outside. After a moment's thought, Shen Bai led Zhou Qing into the pawnshop and casually closed the door behind them.
Shen Bai poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing took it and drained it in one gulp.
Before Shen Bai could even speak, Zhou Qing began.
"Lao Shen, you must remember. If anyone comes to your shop recently to pawn any strange or peculiar items, keep them there and have Zhang Chaofeng report to the Government Office immediately."
Shen Bai took a sip of tea. "What in the world is going on? Why all the secrecy?"
