After discussing, Xue Pingchuan beckoned Beizhen Fusi and his party to stay, and at the same time arranged for Xu Anping to take someone to inquire in advance to prevent fraud. When you're out and about, you can't be too careful.

Xu Anping walked on the streets of Huai'an Mansion, looking at the crowded crowds around him and the shouting and selling sounds, and he was in a trance for a while. He has gradually adapted to his current lifestyle, and he hasn't thought about the past for a long time, and he is full of wanting to take care of Yi Lian'er and Deng Xiaoke. "Maybe it's better for me to get here."

The two lieutenants standing behind him were looking around, their eyes full of freshness. The two men looked at each other, then winked at each other and motioned for each other to speak. Finally, the older man said with a smile: "Master Xu, let's find out the news together, it's too conspicuous." Otherwise, we'll ......."

Xu Anping came back to his senses, put away the thoughts that burst out in his heart, and said lightly: "Well, then let's find out the news separately." You go in the other direction, and remember to go back to the inn before the unitary time. Otherwise, if Xue Ye asks about the sin, you have to bear it yourself. ”

The two of them were overjoyed, and said with great gratitude: "Xu Ye rest assured! Our brothers have been in the yamen for many years, and we will definitely not delay things if we save weight. ”

After Xu Anping nodded, they disappeared into the flow of people. Xu Anping was also happy to be relaxed alone, walking in the flow of people by himself. After a while, I entered another alley, and browsed casually. Before he knew it, it was already dark, and he collected his mood and began to return to the inn. It is clear that a day of viewing yielded no results. After all, Huai'an City is located in the canal, and there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and the flow of people is also very dense, so it is normal to not be able to find out the news for a while. When he arrived at the inn, Xu Anping saw that the other two had returned, and he was excitedly talking to others about what he had seen and heard today, and he laughed a few times from time to time. Needless to say, the two had a pretty comfortable time, and of course they didn't need to ask about the results of the inquiry.

"Today, our brothers have really gained a lot of knowledge! You don't know, there are a lot of kinds of girls in Huai'an Mansion. What Yangzhou Skinny Horse, Yan Zhao Beauty, Wu Yue Jiaowa, Luoyang Daughter, Aunt Mizhi, Datong Mother-in-law, that is everything. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm a redneck now, and it's the first time I've entered the big garden, and I'm just dazzled. But these girls just look down on people, and they don't want to pick up customers when they see that our brothers are dressed ordinarily. Hey, guess what? ”

The others hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Don't say it's a gray walk. ”

"Dude, you can't afford to lose that guy. I threw out a few silver tickets and smashed them directly into the faces of those girls. These girls immediately changed their faces and called me uncle directly. It was so comfortable! Hahaha......"

Xu Anping didn't bother to listen to what they continued to say obscene words, and went directly into the room. After dinner, Xu Xiaohu came over again to pester to learn kung fu. He was also helpless, so he could only teach him a few tricks to scatter, and then urge him to practice hard.

The next morning, Xue Pingchuan was about to beckon Xu Anping to go out together, when Xu Deli hurriedly walked in from outside, and it was already hot and sweaty in late autumn. Seeing the color used by the other party, Xue Pingchuan knew that there should be news, and returned to the room.

Xu Deli followed in later, and he didn't even bother to wipe his sweat and said directly: "My lord, my subordinates heard a little news and thought it might be useful, so I hurried over to tell you." ”

"Well, you elaborate." Xue Pingchuan sat on the chair, his hand holding the teacup tightened, and then said in a light tone.

"My subordinates have been doing business in Huai'an City for decades, and they have something to do with black and white. Yesterday, I told the beggar gang and Qingpi to inquire about the news, and promised a heavy reward, and someone will come to spread the news today. There is a house in the west of Huai'an City, which is quite suspicious, and there are no people in and out on weekdays, but sometimes there are some movements at night. A beggar once slept there and saw a man in black coming in and out in the middle of the night, and the area was missing. Xu Deli glanced at Xue Pingchuan when he finished speaking, and saw that the other party was expressionless, so he continued to stare at the ground and stopped talking.

Xue Pingchuan frowned when he heard this, and then raised his head and signaled Xu Anping for a moment. The latter nodded and walked out of the yard alone.

Half an hour later, Xu Anping had already come to the Mule and Horse Lane in the west of Huai'an City, and first looked around, and probably had a bottom in his heart. It is less than two miles from a city gate, and there is a canal outside the city, and most of the pedestrians on the street are coolies carrying bags. Mule Alley, which is located next to it, can be seen from time to time with mules and horses coming in and out, and there are a lot of mule and horse feces piled up in the corner, so pedestrians rarely come here.

Xu Anping stopped an elderly coolie and asked, "Uncle, I'm from out of town and want to rent a mule and horse." Do you know where the price is fairer? He stuffed the man with two cents, and the wrinkles on the latter's face immediately relaxed, and he put down the sack on his shoulder and enthusiastically pointed the way.

"Young man, you've found the right person, no one knows the market better than the old man. You walk down this alley and you see a mule and horse pen when you go out. When you get there, you go to find Lao Cai, and say that Qian Laohan introduced you. You're guaranteed to buy a good mule and get a bargain. ”

After Xu Anping thanked him, he entered the alley, and as he walked forward, he swept the walls on both sides with the residual light of his eyes. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he walked out of the alley and went to the mule pen to rent a mule.

The old man who pointed the way saw Xu Anping walk into the alley, walked to the mule and horse ring and began to bargain with the guys, and then he picked up the sack again and left.

After negotiating the price, Xu Anping took the mule and left, without looking at the mule and horse alley again. Back at the inn, Xu Anping entered the room and saw Xue Pingchuan still drinking the cup of tea, while Xu Deli was still standing next to him. He nodded secretly at Xue Pingchuan.

Xue Pingchuan cracked his mouth and laughed, stood up and patted Xu Deli heavily on the shoulder and said, "Old Xu, you have made a great contribution this time!" In any case, this time the official will go to the Senhu Lord to ask for credit for you. Hahaha......"

Xu Deli said with trepidation: "My subordinates don't dare!" Everything is for the benefit of adults. All this is what subordinates should do. ”

Xue Pingchuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this official doesn't treat you badly. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted Huzi to succeed you? Okay, now the official should go down. In order to let Huzi adapt to the affairs of Beizhen Fusi in advance, he will go to the prison with us tonight to see it. He saw that the muscles on Xu Deli's face were shaking, and comforted: "You can rest assured." Huzi follows this official, and there will definitely be no danger. This official will let Xu Escort take care of him at all times. ”

Xu Deli could only cry and agree: "Lord Xie! ”
