Chapter 262: Meeting Acquaintances in a Foreign Land
When clearing the treasure, in addition to the organ box, Li Dongyang also found an account book, and then Li Dongyang understood why there was so much money, and they not only took the task, but also grabbed the big account.
Li Dongyang casually threw the account book into the space, he is not a saint, and he does not plan to return the money to those big households, Li Dongyang came quietly and left quietly, he still has something to do.
Walking out of Crouching Tiger City again, Li Dongyang bent his fingers to count the time, it has been almost half a month since he came out, the good show arranged by Dragon City should be staged, and at this time, they should change their territory.
Thinking of this, Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows, took out the carrier pigeon from the space, wrote a note and stuffed it in the bamboo tube, and released the carrier pigeon.
Zhen Guogong, who was interrogating the Xie family, couldn't imagine that the scene staged in Mingxinyuan was planned by the eldest son, and he didn't know what he was calculating.
Twisting his neck a few times, Li Dongyang recognized the direction and rushed towards Huaiyin County, according to the confession of the blood ghost, the blood ghost encountered a mysterious force when he went out on a mission a year ago.
This force was chasing and killing a person at the time, and I don't know if that person escaped in the end, but later the blood ghost inquired, but did not find the slightest news about that force.
But they knew that the person they were going to kill was called Jia Ruhai, a native of Wu State, and that person fled to Huaiyin County to live in seclusion after the fall of Wu State, and Li Dongyang was now going to Jia Ruhai's place of residence.
Without saying anything all the way, Li Dongyang came to Huaiyin County at noon the next day, which is a county town with a population of 50,000.
It is said that Huaiyin County is the birthplace of the Tianfeng Empire, and the ancestors of the Tianfeng Empire raised troops from here, and guarded the city for three years without breaking it, and finally turned the crisis into an uplifting to establish a big empire.
The city wall was left over from that period, and the county order of Huaiyin City has always attracted the attention of the emperor, which is also related to this.
Li Dongyang entered Huaiyin County, his eyes glanced around, people came and went on the street, the cries of buying and selling were endless, the woman holding the child, and the son shaking the folding fan, did not say a smile, but his eyes were clear.
Except in Dragon City, the people here are the city with the strongest sense of happiness that Li Dongyang has ever seen, and there is rarely a numb look on their faces, as if life is very rushing.
Jia Ruhai's house is in the east of the city, which is considered a noble area, and Li Dongyang's first goal is to visit Jia Ruhai's hometown.
Riding on the horse, Li Dongyang leisurely looked at both sides of the street, while moving towards the residential area in the east of the city, the tip of his nose came from the smell of meat, Li Dongyang sniffed and touched his stomach, and decided to eat first.
Looking for the fragrance Li Dongdong Dongyang came to the taste Xuan, this guy looks atmospheric, the tall gatehouse is hung with blue and red lanterns, the doors and windows are carved and carved beasts, and there are Xiao Er standing on both sides of the gate to welcome guests.
Seeing Li Dongyang stop the horse, Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile, one took the reins of the horse, and the other greeted him warmly, which made Li Dongyang enjoy the addiction that the customer is God.
"Childe, please, is it a private room or a hall?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.
"Let's have a private room." Li Dongyang waved his hand and said, he was a little hungry, Li Dongyang didn't want to sit with everyone, worried that his eating would scare them.
Xiao Er happily responded, led Li Dongyang to the private room on the second floor, and smiled and retreated under Li Dongyang's signature dish order, intuition that this is the rhythm to be sent today.
Li Dongyang sat by the window, waiting for the food to be served while looking at the pedestrians on the street, eager to ask them how they kept a happy mood and what they had in life.
Because Li Dongyang came a little early, there were few guests, and the speed of serving in the back kitchen was gratifying, and he began to serve the food after waiting for a cup of tea.
Li Dongyang called the best liquor in the store, it is said that it was once the tribute wine of the Tianfeng Empire, called Baihua Dew, which sounds a bit like the name of Flower Dew Water, but it is the most popular wine of that era.
It's a pity that with the demise of the Tianfeng Empire, the status of this wine has also begun to plummet, and now it rarely appears on the desks of large families.
Li Dongyang poured a glass and took a sip, the taste of the wine was very light, to say that the tribute wine was really a bit exaggerated, and I don't know how low the winemaking industry was at that time to make this wine rampant.
Putting down the cup, Li Dongyang began to eat the vegetables, the taste of the dishes was not bad, Li Dongyang looked at the scenery outside the window while eating, but he was very comfortable, suddenly Li Dongyang frowned, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance, Qiao Xinran, the proprietress of Yipinge, who is also a good friend of Meng Kexin, my father's matchmaker, how could she appear here?
Li Dongyang was curious in his heart, and he opened his mouth to call someone, I don't know why Li Dongyang didn't shout out, Yipinge is in the jewelry business, is there anything here that attracts this big boss?
Qiao Xinran didn't notice that there were a pair of eyes upstairs looking at her, she was traveling in disguise as a man at the moment, and she was traveling in two little maids with her, also dressed as a man.
"Master, do you want to take a break first?" Banxia asked out loud, looking at the surrounding environment, his eyes fell on the Taste Pavilion, and he felt that this house was good.
Qiao Xinran didn't reply, his eyes flashed with an anxious look, and he thought for a while on the horse before saying, "Then let's order something to eat." ”
The three of them dismounted and entered the hall, and did not enter the private room like Li Dongyang, but sat down by the door of the hall, ordered a few side dishes and began to drink tea and rest.
"Master, can you find out?" Banxia looked at Qiao Xinran's face, with a deep worry in her eyes.
"If you can't check it, you will only find out until you look for it." Qiao Xinran replied lightly, rubbing his eyebrows, feeling a little tired, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart.
After the meal was served, the three of them stopped talking, they ate quickly, and then left the restaurant with the silver taels, Li Dongyang saw the back of the three people leaving in a hurry, and his eyes rolled and left.
The birthplace of the Tianfeng Empire, this thought flashed in Li Dongyang's mind from time to time, as for why Li Dongyang couldn't say clearly, he wanted to know why Qiao Xinran appeared here.
Thinking about Qiao Xinran's relationship with his mother, Li Dongyang pondered for a while, a princess and a businessman's daughter, it is said that they are one heaven and one earth, but the two have become friends.
Qiao Xinran even rescued her mother after her accident, what kind of friendship does this have, and besides, where does a little businesswoman come from, this Sister Qiao's strength is not weak.
One by one, doubts rose in his heart, and he couldn't hold it down anymore, Li Dongyang followed the three of them into an alley, Li Dongyang put away the horse by covering it, and changed it into a fortune teller's dress.
The three people in front of them didn't seem to notice, they were making their way.
