Chapter Eighty-Eight: Deyue Tower

Gao Wensheng went to Anzhou City in a hurry, and Lin Fan felt a little more relaxed.

This matter will be handed over to him to have a headache, anyway, even if the sky falls, there is a tall person on top, there is no need to worry about it yourself, the inspection department only needs to deal with it according to the orders of the boss.

But even so, his life these days has not been as good as he imagined.

In addition to discussing with An Ning and them how to deal with the water bandits in Yunmengze, what made Lin Fan feel the most tricky was how to settle Bai Yuqing and them.

This has to start after Lin Fan and the others returned to the Inspection Division, the three-day period he made with Bai Yuqing had just passed, and Bai Yuqing arrived as scheduled. Faced with Bai Yuqing's unrelenting entanglement when he came to the door, Lin Fan was very helpless.

And Bai Yuqing's entanglement of Lin Fan changed in the eyes of those soldiers in the Inspection Division.

Some people say that adults want to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, and some people say that adults are abandoned from the beginning to the end, and when they were in the mountains, they occupied other people's bodies and now they don't admit it, so they were found by people, in short, various versions of rumors are flying all over the sky.

These people are all some ruffians, but they think about things very dirty, and their mouths are not clean, and all kinds of meat words come out of their mouths. And Lin Fan can't explain it to them, once he really speaks, I'm afraid that these people will only think more crookedly.

He had discovered more than once that when the soldiers were training or patrolling recently, they would always secretly look at Lin Fan's house from time to time, which made him head two bigger.

He knew that it was not a long-term solution to drag on like this, Bai Yuqing's troubles like this had even begun to affect the morale of the army, but he couldn't think of any way to properly solve this matter for a while.

In the end, it was Chen Fangshu who reminded him, which gave him an idea. According to Chen Fangshu's meaning, in fact, as long as you find something to do for them, there is no need to keep them by your side, and it is the same outside.

...…………...

A few days later, in the most prosperous section of Yongyang City, a restaurant called Deyue Lou was grandly opened.

This restaurant is very large, and it directly bought the original largest drunken immortal residence in the county, and reopened it after changing the plaque.

In fact, it is not only the Drunken Immortal Residence, I heard that there are several silk and satin houses and dyeing workshops that have also changed hands at the same time, but the Drunken Immortal Residence is the largest and most conspicuous, and the most amazing thing is that their new owners are the same person.

Such a handwriting is simply staggering, such a wealthy nobleman is naturally eye-catching, and he is simply the God of Wealth in this small county. Therefore, this Deyue Building attracted the attention of the whole city almost as soon as it opened, and there was an endless stream of diners for a while.

The reason why Deyuelou's business is booming is not only because of the preferential opening rewards, but also because of the beautiful female shopkeeper here.

The new proprietor of the restaurant looks like he is only in his twenties, a foreigner, very beautiful, and can be said to be a rare beauty. She claimed to be a merchant who had fled from the north, and that she had moved her family to Gangnam Province to seek refuge with relatives and friends in order to escape the scourge of war.

But unfortunately, her parents fell ill and died halfway through, leaving her alone.

The world was chaotic, she didn't dare to continue south, and she had some surplus wealth left by her parents, so she had to buy a property here, set up a few shops, and prepared to settle down here.

The owner of the restaurant is naturally Bai Yuqing, and this restaurant is also Lin Fan's handiwork.

After he understood, he found Bai Yuqing, and instead of discussing, he was going to open a few shops in Yongyang City and let them take care of them, and she agreed after thinking about it, which led to today's scene.

As for Bai Yuqing's identity, it is a half-truth, she is indeed the daughter of a northern merchant, but his parents did not die of illness, but died at the hands of bandits, and the money she used to buy the property was also given by Lin Fan.

In this way, the truth and the false are mixed together, as long as it is not someone who knows the ins and outs of this matter very well, others will not see any problems.

In Lin Fan's words, this is not just a restaurant, but his hidden stake in the county seat.

Just like the Tsing Yi Wei of the imperial court, it is to facilitate the collection of all kinds of news in the dark and report to Lin Fan at any time, so that Lin Fan can respond in time.

And this is just the beginning, not only in Yongyang City in the future, but not only limited to the restaurant dyeing workshop, but there will be many such shops, all over the world.

It was with such reasons that Lin Fan persuaded Bai Yuqing. According to Lin Fan's original intention, it was just to find something to do for them, and not to bother themselves. As for the information, it's best if you can send it, and it doesn't matter if you can't.

For him now, none of this matters, not to mention that his current official position has not reached that point, and it is easy to commit taboos in this way.

Besides, even if he needs information, he has the Lin family's news network to use, as the young patriarch of the Lin family, he still has these powers, and his current arrangement can only be said to be better than nothing.

And Bai Yuqing is obviously serious, she takes care of everything carefully, and really treats this as a career. Even the people hired to do the work were carefully selected by her from among the rescued women and refugees, and the people who were the most shrewd and capable and the most loyal to Lin Fan were selected.

Naturally, she can't hide what she does from Lin Fan, but Lin Fan won't care about it, not only can she find some work for those people, but also let them earn a piece of money to support their families, why not?

As a result, as an independent intelligence department under Lin Fan, the Chen Intelligence Department was officially established.

This is Bai Yuqing's own name, and when Lin Fan saw this name at that time, he was speechless for a while, but he still agreed with a big stroke of his pen. And Bai Yuqing naturally became the first person in charge of the Chen Qing Department.

Later generations may never have imagined that the establishment of the frightening Confession Office all over the world in the future would be so simple and without the slightest surprise. It is as calm as if nothing has happened, and there is no earth-shattering thing that posterity imagined.

Of course, for Bai Yuqing, now is just the first step, and there are only three or two big cats and kittens under his hands. But either way, it's a good start.

What people didn't expect was that Bai Yuqing was quite good at management, and since its opening, Deyuelou's business has been thriving under her management.

However, Bai Yuqing, as a newcomer to the outsider, was so swaggering, which naturally attracted a lot of jealousy, and the proprietress was a beauty, so the rights and wrongs in front of the door were indispensable.

However, in just a few days, several waves of scoundrels have come to the door.

At the beginning, Bai Yuqing could barely accompany the smiling face, and sent them away with some money.

But as their appetite grew bigger and bigger, they began to gain inches, and even a few bold people dared to tease Bai Yuqing.

For this situation, Bai Yuqing, who had just escaped from the clutches of the bandits, naturally would not endure it anymore. She asked people to find Liu Erniu and others and asked them to help deal with this matter.

In the last operation to arrest Fu Tianlin, Liu Erniu was also considered a meritorious person, so his status among the officials also rose, and several young people who were about the same age as him became his followers.

Therefore, he is also extremely admired and grateful to Lin Fan, in order to repay Lin Fan, he who has been secretly instructed by Lin Fan is unceremonious to these people, and he is ruthless.

He led a few officials to block these splashes in the corner for a while to clean up, and heard that several people had broken their legs.

After that, Liu Erniu and the others stood guard at the door of the restaurant for several days, and almost cleaned up the ruffians and hooligans in Yongyang City, and the situation was much better.

And because of Liu Erniu's move, as the news came out, people knew that the new proprietor of Deyue Tower had an official background, so they didn't dare to come nonsense anymore, and even the methods they used secretly were a lot more restrained.

However, although there were fewer troublemakers, rumors began to spread.

In a tavern, a group of people gathered to gossip, and one of them said, "Oops! Have you heard, the proprietress of the newly opened Deyue Building has something to do with the government, and those ruffians and hooligans who went to make trouble have all been cleaned up miserably! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" The other picked up the conversation. "I heard that the proprietress knows the big people in the county, you should be careful when you see people in the future, don't use your dog's eyes to look at others, when the time comes, offend people, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!"

"And that's not all! I've heard that the proprietress has a leg with an adult in the county, and even this restaurant was sold by the boss under pressure from the adult! One said mysteriously.

"Really, how did you know about this kind of thing?" The others were interested and asked.

"Ahem, after all that, I'm a little thirsty!" The man coughed dryly twice, and the old god closed his eyes and recuperated himself, and said no more, satisfying everyone's appetite.

Everyone was so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, and they all wanted to hear some inside information. Although I know that this kid is making it up nine times out of ten, it's good to listen to it as a story!

So they pooled their money and bought a pot of good wine, and filled it for the man. The man picked up the bowl and put it to his nose and smelled the wine, and then he drank it all, and his face was full of intoxication.

The man smacked his mouth, a little unsatisfied. But with this bowl of wine as a base, he will no longer sell guanzi.

"Then there can be a fake, my cousin's cousin's good buddy is on an errand in the yamen, this is what he said himself!"

"Otherwise, your original Drunken Immortal Building did a good job, why did you say that it would be sold, it was a decades-old storefront! And is it true that those officials are really idle and have nothing to do, squatting at the door every day, just to vent their anger to the boss lady? Not that big guy meant it yet! ”

The man was full of spirit, spitting and spitting, and spoke as vividly as if he had seen it with his own eyes, while the others listened with relish, and their eyes lit up.

After the wine party is over, these people will tell others what they have heard today, especially those who have spent money on wine, naturally thinking of earning a little more from others, and they will spare no effort to publicize it.

In this way, more and more people know about it. Later, the entire county knew that the proprietress of Baiyuelou was a canary raised by an adult in the county, and she couldn't be provoked.

In this way, the rumors that were originally just a poke and broken have become more and more vivid and specific under the addition of good deeds, and all kinds of gossip have emerged in endlessly.

Some people even said that they had seen the proprietress enter the sedan chair of a certain house, be carried into the house, and come out after a few hours.

Especially those women, who are not treated by their own men at home, and they are inevitably dissatisfied when they see their men being so attentive to other women.

The jealous remarks are inevitably a little vicious, and the stories are even more outrageous, and there are some fragrant stories mixed with certain plots, and the men naturally like it, and the more bizarre the better.

In short, the proprietress suddenly became a celebrity in Yongyang City, and this matter has been talked about in the streets for a while now.

Whether it is a woman or a man, if someone doesn't know about it when everyone gets together to chat, they will definitely be laughed at by others, and this matter will become a topic of conversation after dinner.

This scene is constantly staged in Yongyang City, and every time everyone laughs at the beautiful proprietress and leaves, they pat their butts and leave with satisfaction.

As for the truth of the matter and what impact it will have on the reputation of the person concerned, no one cares, and they don't want to know and know.

It's not that the proprietress doesn't know about these things that have happened recently, but she never comes out to refute them.

Because she knows that these things are always darker and darker, and the more you explain, the more excited they become, thinking that you are a thief, otherwise why would you come out to explain. It's better to ignore it, and after a long time, it will naturally pass.

Not only that, these words also reached Lin Fan's ears, and Lin Fan was also a little helpless, after all, his mouth grew on others, what else could he care about what others said?

Besides, if he really made a move, he would arrest all those who spread rumors and clean them up, wouldn't it be just in response to those rumors, and the more they were described, the darker they became?

Therefore, he can only ignore this matter, and he also knows that although these people in the market seem to be lively now, it is estimated that most people will forget about this matter in a few days.

Wait two or three months, even if someone talks about it later, no one wants to listen to this gossip.

And he soon didn't have time to deal with these things, because Gao Wensheng was back. Those who came back with him were two thousand soldiers and horses transferred from Anzhou City!
