Chapter 554: The Guest Inn
According to the original intention of the old flower, he glanced at Leng Qing in the room, which satisfied Lu Wuzi's wish. After Leng Qing and Lu Zhutou entered the mansion, they could leave.
Who knew that Leng Qing did not enter the mansion, but under the leadership of Lu Zhutou, he came directly to the east after the mansion, and got closer and closer to Lu Wuji.
Could it be that Leng Qing noticed that they were peeping?
Or what did Lu Zhutou say to Leng Qing?
Lu Wuji panicked in his heart, and looked nervously at the old man beside him.
Lao Zhaohua's eyes were as calm as water, and he said softly: "It's okay, calm down!" ”
It's strange to say, after hearing the words of Lao Zhaohua, Lu Wuji immediately calmed down.
Getting closer and closer, Lu Wuji finally saw Leng Qing, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department.
I thought that the head catcher of the Criminal Department should be an old man, but Leng Qing was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His body is thin and powerful, his steps are steady and light, and he looks very agile and athletic. If you want to describe Leng Qing as an animal, then the cheetah is definitely the most suitable.
Leng Qing is the same as his surname, and there is a coldness all over his body. Passing by them, Leng Qing glanced at them casually, and Lu Wuji already felt a biting cold.
When he saw Lu Xiaoxian, the corners of Leng Qing's mouth were slightly raised, but under Lu Xiaoxian's gaze, he didn't say hello, pretended not to know and continued to walk forward.
Lu Wuji watched them continue on their way until they disappeared through the gate of the guest inn.
"I've seen it, it's time to go, right?" The old flower said nonsense to Lu.
"Oh!" Lu Wuji agreed, but his gaze had not yet been withdrawn.
"Don't forget, you still have business to do!" Lao Minghua instructed: "If Master Lin wants to turn his face, it will be a matter of one or two days, but don't be in a hurry at that time, it will be difficult to deal with!" ”
Hearing Lao Hua say this, Lu Wuji was stunned. That's right, it's secondary to see the excitement, and you have more important things to do.
After Lao Zhaohua and Lu Wuji left, Lu Xiaoxian looked in the direction of the guest inn, with a solemn look on his face.
……
Shopkeeper Song of the Binzhi Inn stood cautiously in front of Lu Zhutou and Leng Qing.
The innkeeper is the best at observing words and feelings, if he doesn't have this ability, how to be the shopkeeper.
Leng Qing was dressed in brocade and fresh robes, and his bearing was extraordinary, and the shopkeeper Song could see at a glance that this person was by no means an ordinary mountain village man. As the head catcher of Youzhou City, of course the shopkeeper Song knew, and Lu Zhutou was very respectful to Leng Qing, which made him guess that Leng Qing was a big man.
Lu Zhutou was very annoyed, and his finger almost poked at the door of Song's shopkeeper's head: "What? The guest room in the backyard can't be vacated, no, if it can't be vacated, it has to be vacated, this is the order of Lord Thorn Shi! ”
Lu Zhutou had already arranged a place to live for Leng Qing and his party at the post station, but for some reason, Leng Qing didn't go to the post station, and had to stay in an inn in the city.
Leng Qing made such a request, and Lu Zhutou had no choice but to comply.
The original largest and best inn in Youzhou City was the inn run by the Lu family, but later the Lu family inn caught fire and could no longer operate, and the guest inn became the first choice.
Lu Zhutou took Leng Qing and others to the Binzhi Inn, and wanted to charter the entire backyard for Leng Qing and others to live in, but who knew that the backyard was taken by someone first, which made Lu Zhutou feel very faceless.
Shopkeeper Song said aggrievedly: "Lu Zhutou, if you had ordered it yesterday, I would definitely have left the guest room in the backyard, but now the guest has already wrapped the guest room in the backyard and paid the deposit." I begged them for a long time, and promised to refund their deposits, not to charge them for their rooms, and to arrange another place for them to make room. However, those guests don't agree, and I can't help it, I can't force the guests out! ”
"What is the origin of these people, so they don't know what to do?" Lu Zhutou asked angrily.
Lu Zhutou had already calculated in his heart, if it really didn't work, he had to use some means to clean up these people in the backyard, and he couldn't snub Leng Qing no matter what.
Shopkeeper Song said cautiously: "The registration book shows that they are from Chang'an, as for what they do, the little ones don't know!" ”
From Chang'an?
Leng Qing's heart moved.
"You're a! I can't even do such a thing! Lu Zhutou was still angry, and said to the shopkeeper Song: "You take me to the backyard, I want to see what these people come from, I don't believe it!" ”
Leng Qing grabbed Lu Zhu's head: "Don't bother, just arrange a few guest rooms!" ”
"The head catcher is a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, which makes you laugh!" Lu Zhutou said with a smile.
Leng Qing smiled faintly: "You're welcome, we're here to do business, it doesn't matter where we live!" ”
"Thank you for your understanding!" Lu Zhutou looked apologetic, turned his head to the shopkeeper Song and ordered: "Then you hurry up and prepare five upper rooms!" ”
Shopkeeper Song had a bitter face, he didn't dare to look at Lu Zhutou anymore, and his voice was as small as a mosquito: "Lu Zhutou, the upper rooms of Tianzi and Dizi are also full, only the number of people and rooms are still there, and the conditions are slightly worse!" ”
Lu Zhutou, who was on fire in his heart, was immediately furious when he heard the words of the shopkeeper Song, and was about to jump up and have a seizure, but was pulled by Leng Qing.
Leng Qing and Yan Yuese said to the shopkeeper: "Please bring the guest accommodation registration book to the shopkeeper, let me see it?" ”
Shopkeeper Song dared to say no, trotted for a while, and hurriedly took the register of the inn's accommodation.
Leng Qing took the register and looked through it carefully.
Shopkeeper Song was right, those people in the backyard were indeed from Chang'an, there were seventeen people in total, and they only moved in last night.
Looking further down, the two residents of Dizi Room 2 and Room 3 are also from Chang'an, one is named Chen Song and the other is called Wu Yan.
"Wu Yan?" Leng Qing felt that this name was very familiar.
Suddenly, Leng Qing seemed to remember something, smiled slightly, handed the registration book to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, just find us five rooms in the font number, I'm sorry for you!" ”
"No trouble!" Shopkeeper Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Leng Qing: "A few people, please come with me!" ”
After settling Leng Qing and the other five people, Lu Zhutou came to Leng Qing's room.
"The chief catcher, it was the poor arrangement of his subordinates, which made you aggrieved!" Lu Zhutou blamed himself.
Leng Qing said lightly: "Lu Zhutou, we are all in this business, you also know how to handle cases on weekdays, how can there be so much attention, not to mention having a house to live in, even if you live in the wilderness, isn't it a common thing?" ”
"Thank you for your understanding!" Lu Zhutou said gratefully.
Leng Qing was no longer polite, and asked directly: "Lu Zhutou, how many arrests are registered in Youzhou?" ”
"There are a total of ninety-five people registered in Youzhou!" Lu Zhutou replied very neatly.
"From today onwards, all the arrests registered in Youzhou will be called by the Criminal Department to assist in handling the case! This is the document of the Criminal Department, please take a look at Lu Zhutou! ”
After that, Leng Qing handed the official document of the Criminal Department to Lu Zhutou.
Lu Zhutou took it and glanced at it, and said to Leng Qing: "My subordinates will arrange it, I don't know what case the chief catcher is handling, can you reveal one or two, so that his subordinates can make some preparations." ”
Dealing with cases in Youzhou must be indispensable to Lu Zhutou's cooperation, Leng Qing didn't plan to hide Lu Zhutou, he nodded and said: "The Criminal Department received a tip-off report, the abolished prince Li Chongjun is currently hiding in Youzhou, I was ordered to come to arrest the Qin prisoner and escort him back to Chang'an." ”
"The abolished prince Li Chongjun?" When Lu Zhutou heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.
The abolished prince Li Chongjun in Leng Qing's mouth is the third son of Li Xian, the current son of Zhongzong Zhongzong. A few months ago, Li Chongjun staged a mutiny with more than 300 Yulin soldiers and 1,000 cavalry. After the failure of the coup, he led more than 100 cavalry to Suzhangmen and fled to Zhongnan Mountain.
Afterwards, the Yulin Army sent a large number of troops to search, but Li Chongjun was nowhere to be found.
It is said that Li Chongjun had committed suicide by throwing himself off a cliff, but he didn't expect him to hide in Youzhou.
Lu Zhutou's face was solemn: "Chief Catcher, I don't know what my subordinates should do?" ”
"You gather all the people and stand by in the government office, when you need it, I will naturally greet you!" Leng Qing waved his hand and said, "You go back first!" ”
"Subordinates retire!"
Lu Zhutou said goodbye to Leng Qing, left the guest inn, and hurried to the mansion.
Leng Qing settled down for a while and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Leng Qing first walked around the guest room, and the surrounding environment was firmly in mind. This is a habit that Leng Qing has cultivated for many years, and this good habit can save his life at a critical time.
Then, Leng Qing walked slowly to the backyard of the guest inn.
There aren't many rooms in the backyard of the Guest Inn, but the price is quite high. The backyard is noticeably quieter than the noisy front room, and it should be comfortable to stay in.
In front of the gate of the backyard, there were two men in black with knives, and when they saw Leng Qing walking towards the backyard, they immediately became vigilant.
Leng Qing's eyes were very sharp, and he found that the cuffs of the two men in black were decorated with a circle of purple threads, and he wouldn't notice them at all if he didn't look carefully.
Leng Qing nodded slightly, it seems that his judgment is correct, this backyard should be occupied by the people of Suzaku Gate.
Suzaku Gate is the most mysterious organization in Chang'an City, and many people don't even know about his existence.
As the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, Leng Qing has a wide range of information, so he can naturally inquire about the situation in the Suzaku Gate. The cuffs are decorated with purple threads, which is a distinctive symbol of the inside of the Suzaku Gate.
The Vermilion Bird Gate generally only operates near Chang'an, and rarely leaves Chang'an, let alone to Youzhou, which is thousands of miles away.
The people from the Vermilion Bird Gate suddenly appeared at the Binzhi Inn, and there was only one possibility: Princess Taiping had intervened in the matter.
Others don't know, but Leng Qing knows in her heart that the current actual controller of the Vermilion Bird Gate is the Taiping Princess of the current dynasty.
After Wu Sansi's death, after Xie Yunxuan's operation, the Vermilion Bird Gate changed its court, and the whole was cast under the door of Princess Taiping.
After Li Xian ascended the throne, Li Bao'er became the princess of Anle from the lord of Anle. After becoming a princess, Li Bao'er is no longer the original quirky elf little girl, she and her aunt Princess Taiping have always been competing in secret, fighting to the death for the title of "the first princess of the Tang Dynasty".
One is his own daughter, the other is his own sister, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, Li Xian is not good at favoring anyone, so he has to turn a blind eye, as long as he is not too out of line, he is also happy to be with the mud.
