Xiuzhu has been getting along with Bizhu day and night for several days, and has suffered a lot of losses when she comes and goes, and she simply makes this kung fu stronger than herself, and she doesn't make a sound when she is bored, but once she opens her mouth, she can take the girl who chokes to death as her nemesis, so when she heard Bizhu's voice, she instinctively snorted, and then didn't need anyone to speak, and immediately walked over to open the door.

When she let Bizhu enter the door, she saw that the guy had left, and Zhao San Mazi, who was guarding outside the door, was holding a toothpick, and there were suspicious oil stains on the side of his mouth. Before, because Lu Guangwu and Zheng Ming were there, she insisted on staying in the box to wait, hoping to find out some news about Lin Daoqian.

As a result, I heard a very small part, but my stomach was almost hungry!

But just as she stretched out her hand to close the door, she only heard Bizhu say in a very hurried tone: "Miss, I inquired that the two dead fishermen in Xin'an County may have nothing to do with Lin Daoqian, and the murder is likely to have been done by the fish that slipped through the net on the Lisbon ship Haojing before!" ”

Xiuzhu suddenly forgot about the hunger in her belly, and immediately turned to look at Bizhu, but found that it was not only herself, but even Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu, who had just been persuading Zheng Mingxian, were also attracted to it, while Xiaobei frowned and said, "Is that the fake captain?" Yes, it is said that this man and several accomplices jumped into the sea, and no one was alive or dead...... Did someone see the murderer's appearance, or what? ”

"It was Xu Xiucai, who the young lady asked me to visit, who happened to go back to Xin'an to visit his relatives, and he asked from a child who had escaped by luck, saying that it was the perpetrator with black hair and brown eyes. It looks like a yokai. But the arrest of the Xin'an County Ya didn't believe it. On the grounds that the child's words are not enough to be trusted. This testimony was not heard. By the way, and the letter that Miss gave me, I also asked that person to translate it, you see? ”

Xiaobei saw Bizhu hand over a letter, but when he took it out, he found that it was two pieces of paper. One is an alphabet book that I couldn't understand before, and the other is obviously a translation. Sweeping down the ten lines at a glance, her face became unprecedentedly solemn, and she immediately handed it over to Wang Fulin. Lu Guangwu and Zheng Ming saw Wang Fulin and took the letter, and then bowed their heads. got up and walked over, Chen Bingchang couldn't help it, stood up and stretched his head. At this time, Xiuzhu finally couldn't hold back the desire in her heart anymore, and moved her steps as soon as she bit her teeth, who knew that there was suddenly an obstacle in front of her. Seeing that it was Bizhu, she was immediately completely discouraged.

"Want to know what's on the letter?" Xiaobei had already discovered this scene, and when she saw Chen Bingchang looking at it worriedly, the corners of her mouth showed a hint of a smile, "If you want to know, ask me directly." ”

Xiuzhu was stunned when she heard this. Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't raise his head, Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian were frowning. Chen Bingchang didn't care about reading the letter, but still stared at herself, she hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "Could it be that the letter is written about Lin Daoqian?" ”

"That's right." Xiaobei nodded lightly and said very cheerfully, "This letter should have been written by a fake captain we met in Haojing before. When the ship stopped at Manraka, he recruited a group of locals and wanted them to pretend to be Lin Daoqian's men to go to the coast to grab a vote. In his letter, he said that Lin Daoqian's reputation is very loud in Guangdong, and that the well-known Yu Dayou is not in Guangdong now, and that when they hear the news of Lin Daoqian's comeback, the officers and men will definitely flee from the wind, and they will be able to make a lot of money when the time comes. In other words, even if Lin Daoqian is still alive, it is very likely that he has not returned to his hometown, let alone recruited troops to go to Pattani. ”

"It can't be...... I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”

said that he didn't believe it, but Xiuzhu's voice became lower and lower, and he suddenly forgot that he was hungry, and he slowly sat down. Fortunately, Bizhu on the side quickly helped her, and then glanced at Chen Bingchang, seeing that the little Xiucai secretary hurriedly moved a chair over, Bizhu smiled slightly, and pressed Xiuzhu on the chair to do a good job, but his eyes glanced at the table, and then he directly took a shrimp dumpling left in a cage drawer with his hand, and couldn't help but stuff it into Xiuzhu's mouth. Faced with this unexpected scene, Chen Bingchang was dumbfounded.

"When you're in a bad mood and you're at a loss, it's better to eat something to change your mood...... Bizhu, you've even learned this trick! ”

Wang Fulin joked with a smile, and casually handed the translated letter to Zheng Ming to read it carefully, and he said with a straight face: "Not to mention this imposter's trick, whether Lin Daoqian sneaked back or not is not yet determined." In this way, let's pick up the person who translated the letter first, and then go to Xin'an County, you know, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Of course, don't waste this big table, eat it first, pack it away if you can't finish it, waste food will be punished by God! ”

Puff – cough cough

Although she had just been pressed down by Bizhu and sat down, and then stuffed another shrimp dumpling, Xiuzhu had a feeling of being laughed at, and she was very sad and indignant. However, when she heard Wang Fulin say the last sentence, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she swallowed the shrimp dumpling, and then choked and coughed violently. However, when Bizhu also added a seat to sit down and eat, she was not so uncomfortable, plus her stomach was empty, but her brain was a mess, she remembered that Wang Fulin said that eating changed her mood, so she simply let go and chewed, and when her stomach could no longer fill anything, she woke up.

It seems that I have really forgotten a lot of troubles...... Hell, when did she get broken too!

When checking out and leaving this well-known small restaurant, Xiaobei, who was left behind, couldn't help but whisper to Wang Fulin: "You, you are a foodie, and you still want to bring all the people around you into foodies?" ”

"In life, the word eating and drinking, why bother to always dwell on certain things, what's wrong with satisfying the desire of the tongue?" Saying such very unorthodox words, Wang Fulin glanced left and right, and then said in a low voice, "Why didn't you say it earlier when you followed that letter on the Lisbon last time?" ”

"If you don't find a reliable interpreter, can you trust it and give it to someone to translate? You also heard it at the dinner table just now, and Bizhu said that even if this person has taken refuge outside the city of Guangzhou, he often encounters nuisance. So I simply signed a three-year contract with someone. Quickly packed up and left home with someone. It is now housed in an inn. ”

"You're right. But have you thought about it, but you have offended the Pan family, the leader of the Guangfu Business Gang, so why didn't the Chaozhou Gang dig people up? You know, it's hard to know Portuguese well, let alone read and write Portuguese characters? Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiaobei, and he said thoughtfully, "So, they are all people with stories!" ”

The so-called Eighteen Fu. It is not a single street, but a large block in Xiguan outside the city of Guangzhou, and it is said that there are more than a dozen streets, all of which are quite lively commercial streets. Wang Fulin chose the location here, firstly, because he was not in the city, and in this kind of downtown area extending in all directions, it was not easy for others to keep an eye on him, so that he could see Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian, and of course he would reunite with his wife by the way, and secondly, of course, because of the food and seafood here. And Xiaobei sent Bizhu to visit the Xu Xiucai. It is placed in an inn on the edge of the Dexing Bridge of the Fourteenth Fu.

A group of people rode horses, and people rode in cars. When walking on the stone road, even if Wang Fulin has been to many places from south to north, it is not surprising that those rare ancient streets in the previous life are now commonplace scenery, but these streets and alleys of Xiguan Eighteen Fu outside Guangzhou City are different from Hangzhou, there are more buildings than bungalows, obviously because of the dampness. The first floor of the street is a shop, and the second floor is inhabited. The signboards that attract guests are bright and eye-catching, and the colorful flags hung are all kind, so that all food, clothing, housing and transportation can be satisfied here.

Therefore, although he was going to pick up people, he couldn't help but enjoy the style of the Eighteen Fu of Xiguan while walking, and by the way, he also bought a few gadgets for free and prepared to go back and send them home to his parents and three sisters, as well as Jinbao and Qiu Feng. So, when I finally arrived at the inn, which looked low-key and quaint on the outside, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time.

Because Bizhu, who was dressed as a man before, had come before, the innkeeper was stunned for a moment and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, but he was a little embarrassed when he learned that the guest who had just checked in was leaving.

"Although it was not overnight, the rules of the small shop are that more than half a day will be counted as one day, and less than half a day will be counted as half a day, you see......" The guy who spoke fluent official did not finish speaking, and saw Bizhu directly take the silver out, he knew that he had met a customer who was not bad for money, and the smile that was still a little reluctant just now immediately became bright, but he spared no effort to pull up the business, "The small one will go and settle the account." However, we are a century-old shop, and we are all famous in these eighteen years. Although you go to other places to compare, they are definitely not as clean and affordable as small shops, and there are many black shops that ask for prices because customers don't understand the official language......"

"I know you're in this inn." Bizhu saw Xiaobei come over with a look, so he opened the river, "If there are guests in the future, I will definitely introduce them to you." Today is because I have found a relative in the city of Guangzhou, so I am in a hurry to pick someone up. ”

Knowing that this was the case, the man was speechless, and quickly settled the account, and after weighing the broken silver with a pole, he found the money again. And Bizhu went to the back guest room to pick up the guide and Xu Xiucai who had been left behind, and saw that although the latter's face looked calm, his eyes were obviously a little nervous, so she opened her mouth and comforted: "The matter of you offending the Pan family is just a trivial matter in the eyes of my son-in-law, don't take it to heart." ”

Xu Xiucai died early, and Xu Xian's wife gave birth to a son to him, but since he offended the Pan family and was kicked out of Haojing, he couldn't even find a museum to teach, and he had no food and clothing, so he took the child back to his parents' house to join his brother in a fit of anger, so he is now alone and the whole family is not hungry, plus Bizhu is full of sincerity, and clearly shows that he knows that he has a little bit of detail, and he is not afraid of the Pan family's power, and he has a good place to place him. As for the rich bundles mentioned by others, he secretly planned to send someone to send it to his wife and children living in his mother's house as soon as he got it.

After getting the money, he is just this life anyway, what can he do when he is afraid that people will regret it?

That being said, when he got out of the inn and saw a line of carriages and horses outside the door, he saw that there were seven or eight people next to the carriage, and the three horsemen on the side of the carriage were old and young, obviously not like an entourage, and the posture was indeed quite like a traveler, he still couldn't help but think that if it was really a big family, then if he really knew his details when he looked back, would he implicate his wife and children in anger? Because his heart was full of cranky thoughts, when Bizhu personally brought a horse over, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Xu, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Yes, yes."

Xu Xiucai hurriedly agreed, and when Bizhu called someone to help hang his luggage on both sides of the horse, and helped him get on the horse, after he sat down, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the carriage, and had some vague guesses in his heart. The young man who spoke official words before and brought a guide to hire him, although he covered it up very well, and his Adam's apple was also vivid, but he still realized from some details that the other party might be a woman - after all, I think the reason why he offended the second master Pan in the first place was because the sister-in-law of Master Pan's mother's compatriot wanted to wash away the stigma on his brother's body, so the woman disguised herself as a man and went to Haojing and asked him to help investigate?

As a result, of course, this matter was a failure, and he was also framed for being greedy for money and lustful, and had an affair with the young lady who was already married to the main family, and the sister of Master Pan was almost forced to die because of her hard speech, although she finally had the support of her husband's in-laws and husband, but she never returned to her parents' house in a fit of anger afterwards. And even if he can communicate fluently with the Francophile, and even read and write, but he can no longer accommodate himself in Haojing, even those merchants of the Chaozhou merchant gang, because they are afraid of his too bad reputation, and the Pan family said who wants to hire him, so they weigh the reputation of their business, and no one dares to take a side with him.

But what I didn't expect now was that the person who hired him to go back to work was probably also a woman, otherwise why would he take a carriage? Although the three people next to the carriage were not dressed luxuriously, they had a natural bearing, and they did not look like they had lived for a long time. These men obviously have some background, if his reputation is known to this prospective employer......

Xu Xiucai suddenly felt a little afraid to think about it. When he set off with everyone in ignorance, and saw that no one came to talk to him except Bizhu was beside him, he hesitated again and again, and finally whispered to Bizhu to inquire; "Little brother, who is your son-in-law, and what are you going to do when you hire me? Although I have a good reputation, I have long abandoned the stepping stone of Bagu, and I am afraid that I will mislead people when I become a teacher. And although I can understand the words of the Francophiles, and I can read their words, one of the priests with whom I befriended is said to have returned to China, and my reputation in Ho Mirror is not very good......

tried to point out the trouble of his identity in such a vague way, and by the way, to find out the origin of others, but what Xu Xiucai didn't expect was that a young man in front of him who seemed to be taking care of himself and riding forward suddenly turned around: "Why does Xu Sheng have a bad reputation?" I'd like to hear about it. ”

Xu Xiucai was almost choked to death by this too one-sided question. When he was struggling with whether to say it or not, he suddenly heard Wang Fulin chuckle again.

"Well, I'm just kidding you. If you don't want to talk about the past, you don't have to talk about it. The guy who just went to ask you to come back said something. It is said that fishermen died at the hands of pirates in Xin'an County, and you went back to Xin'an to visit relatives, but you learned from the surviving children that the perpetrator was suspected of being a Franco? Tell me about this matter in detail, you tell me first, I have a business, and I happen to go to Xin'an County. ”
