This matter needs to be carried out in secret, and you can't go to the street to meet people and ask where the Lin family is and where Lin Qingzhi is. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Zhou Fan has been mixed in the society for many years, and now he has gone to a foreign land, stayed for a while, and slowly found some ways.

After returning from sneaking around at noon the next day, he entered the Baoxia and discussed with Ning Fu.

"The city is the same as when we first came, although we can hear about the Lin family everywhere, but they are all old-fashioned, all of them are complaining, we are guests from other towns, it is really not good to inquire in detail, it is okay to listen to one or two without participating without speaking, I am afraid that once I open my mouth to inquire, it will attract attention."

Ning Fu sighed, not surprised at all.

Zhou Fan waited for a while and didn't see her make a sound, so he said, "Do you want to find a random boy to deliver a letter, and I'll follow you quietly later?" ”

Ning Fu straightened up, took a sip of warm soup, and said: "It's not good, I am not familiar with the place, two-thirds of the people here have to rely on the Lin family to live, just find a child, maybe you will sue us, the Lin family is in a very situation now, and we must be more cautious than us, in case we startle the snake, it will only be unfavorable to us and Lin Qingzhi." ”

After saying that, she suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Ming'er, let's go to the dock and take a look." ”

As soon as Zhou Fan heard that she was going to the wharf, he knew what she was thinking - no matter how closed the Lin family is now, it is impossible to cut off all the currency, no matter who is the head of the house in the future, business will still have to be done, and now that the New Year is about to close, it is the best time to buy and sell a large number of goods, and it is most convenient to go to the wharf to investigate.

But that's what makes his scalp tingle.

No matter where it is, the wharf is a gathering place of three religions and nine streams, ordinary people don't go to that place to hang out if they have nothing to do, and she is a girl's family and a non-local family just went over, in case something happens, do you want to summon Han Chen's people?

Ning Fu looked at his expression and knew what he was worried about.

She has her own opinions: "I don't wear gold and silver to swagger there, and I don't wear women's clothes to hang there, I just pretend to come to see the lively foreign merchants to inspect the situation, what's the matter?" ”

Shuangrong can't beat her, how can Zhou Fan beat her?

The next day, Ning Fu and Zhou Fan pretended to be brothers who came to Cloud City to do business from other places, and took advantage of the passing by to come here to see the world. Zhou Fan pretended to be his brother, Shuangrong and Yin Miao pretended to be entourage, leaving Yanlong Cheng Yan and Shaozhi at home, all the way to the dock.

The Shengshui Wharf in Yuncheng is dozens of miles away from the east gate of Yuncheng, and it is completely two worlds from the territory of Yuncheng.

Every day, countless ships carrying grain from north to south dock and set sail here, and if you want to say that the liveliest place in a city, the wharf is always one of them.

In addition to being a wharf for unloading and transporting grain, Shengshui Wharf is also a place where Yuncheng and various places exchange news, and even some of the court's copywriting and related information are mostly transferred from here, so not only people from the rivers and lakes gather, businessmen gather, but also many people from the government.

Among these people, there are many officials who have come to negotiate official business with Caoyun, and there are also many small officials who have taken the opportunity to set up Caoyun.

Zhou Fan drove the carriage along the riverbank for a while, got a general understanding of the geographical location, summed up the route, and then stopped near the vegetable market, found a noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, gave money, and asked the shopkeeper to help watch the car, and walked to the dock.

The whole large area of the wharf is a place where the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and the stalls have a good mouth for those who can say that they are dying, and the performers also have higher skills than other places.

Among them, there are also women who pretend to be charming, like a flower butterfly, shuttling in the men's pile with handkerchiefs, Zhou Fan and several people know that these are the cellar sisters in the cellars with colorful signboards along the river, most of them are girls in the northern class, because of the lack of cultural upbringing, compared to the southern class in the Goolan Hutong, which is both talented and beautiful, can pull down the face.

But these people are not ordinary people can deal with, there is not a lot of money in your pocket, if you rashly flirt, those turtle slaves who have good skills hidden in the crowd will rush up, and you can definitely beat you to death if you eat other people's tofu for nothing.

Therefore, there are many people who play fairy jumping, often some people think that they have a few dollars in their pockets, and they can hold the beauty for a time in spring and night, but they end up with both people and money, and they are violently blackmailed.

However, I heard that the cellars along the river are now standardized, and those who do business seriously have unwritten rules, so that people who are accustomed to Fengyue can see through the authenticity at a glance, so as to avoid the group of people who play fairy jump from disrupting the market, but it is not clear what it is, but it should be much better.

In addition to these, there are not too many other women from good families, some of them are also troupes that help go to the countryside to visit households, or those who drag their families to perform arts. The rest also included women who came to sell melon seeds and peanuts with baskets.

When they saw those women, Zhou Fan and Shuangrong intentionally or unintentionally had the intention of leading Ning Fu elsewhere, after all, Ning Fu was a serious girl from a big family, even if she later showed up to run a business and became a female official, but in the end, it was forced by the situation to get to today, and these things in the dust, they instinctively hoped to avoid them.

This is completely out of subconscious and instinctive reaction, you know, Ning Fu's current status, this kind of scene is nothing at all, but they still don't want these to be seen by her.

And those who shuttle back and forth, most of them are men dressed in short costumes, five big and three thick, with fierce expressions, and many of them are used to the rivers and lakes at first glance.

There were also some weaker ones, probably boatmen or laborers, most of them in large groups, staring at the ass of passing women while laughing and saying foul language. Although most of them were also from poor backgrounds, because they were attached to the docks to live, these coolies gradually formed a team similar to ruffians and hooligans, and promoted the original authenticity of the people at the bottom.

And so, when they saw the weak and powerless being bullied, and when they saw the man with a little colorful flag in his hand, or the man with a waist tag on his waist, their expressions immediately became solemn again—these were the stewards and the people involved in the docks.

People who are well-dressed and don't have any special signs are often some merchants in Cloud City, and there are also differences among these people, for example, if it is the Lin family, then they will definitely not dare to make a mistake, and if not, then these people will become the primary target of extortion by the ruffians and hooligans.

Ning Fu and a few people are not eye-catching when they talk about it, but they are also a little eye-catching.

They are not very old, compared with these people in their thirties and forties, they are no different from children, Ning Fu looked at those people with signs on their waists, it seemed that they were just lower ranks, and along the way, they always felt that the eyes of the police were shuttling around the crowd everywhere.
