The white bones in the wooden box were not removed, Zhang Shanan knelt heavily and bowed a few times, and walked out of the cave with Chen Ping.

"Someone will go to your brick kiln tomorrow to make trouble, you have to be on guard." At the bottom of the cliff, Zhang Shan'an reminded Chen Ping when they were separated, "The rest of the people in the village, just leave it to me, but I can't help tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time, and I will need your cooperation at that time." Chen Ping nodded.

Zhang Shan'an went back to Xiatu Village first, and did not enter his own door, but knocked on the door of another family.

Chen Ping returned to Baitu Village, led a horse, put it on the saddle, and went to the county seat. Stepping on the stirrup, grasping the reins with both hands, the horse didn't dare to go too fast, and stomped all the way like this.

"Horseback riding is not an easy task." The skin on both sides of his thighs had already been rubbed and scabbed twice, and after practicing in the village for ten years, Chen Ping dared to ride a horse into the city alone.

The speed was not much faster than walking, and even slightly slower than the donkey, and when he arrived at the county seat, Chen Ping immediately dismounted. In the downtown area, if the horse is startled and tramples on pedestrians, Chen Ping can't bear this crime.

I went to the southeast corner of the county along the curved alley and stopped in front of a blue brick house.

The courtyard door is wide, but not conspicuous, there are two iron rings on it, the door is bolted from the inside, Chen Ping was about to buckle the door, and the door of the house suddenly opened.

"How did you know I was outside?" It was Zhu Xie who opened the door, dressed in a clean robe, Chen Ping led the horse in and asked.

Zhu Xie pointed to the door: "There are spies on all sides of this house, if you want to knock on the door, they should leave tomorrow." ”

The house in the southeast corner of the county was bought by Chen Pingtuo Chen Yuanliang, which was originally owned by a wealthy family in a county, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and a two-entry yard, in the corner of the county square, and a few feet outside the courtyard is a low square wall, which is not a downtown area.

But what Chen Ping wants is this quietness.

Some things must not be known to outsiders.

In the huge mansion, except for Chen Ping and Zhu Xie, who occasionally appeared, there was no one else, not even a rough old mother.

"According to your orders, the spies have spread to Jiangdu. In other places, it will take some time, and the newly recruited people will have to train and observe for some time. The two sat down in the hall, and Zhu Xie reported to Chen Ping.

"How's it going in the county?" The training was carried out according to the booklet given by Chen Ping to Zhu Xie, which Chen Ping repeatedly emphasized, "What's the news lately?" ”

Every ten years, Zhu Xie and Chen Ping will meet here, this is the third time, and Zhu Xie is doing a good job.

For Zhu Xie, the errand of Jin Yiwei is also very much in line with his taste: "The county order has already installed people, but it can't help at the moment, just an ordinary slave, but this kid is clever, and he should be able to use it in a while." Xue Xiongna has three people, all of whom can come in handy. I only got the news yesterday that it has something to do with you. ”

"Is it a restaurant? Or a brick kiln? Or both? "It is Chen Ping's intention to spread spies among county officials, knowing that the other side can win, and at this time when the means of information dissemination are limited and the level of counter-investigation is lacking, if you have the information, you can seize the opportunity.

Xue Xiong, who has a dislike for himself, is the object of Chen Ping's attention.

"It's so boring to tell you this, why can you guess it every time?" Zhu Xie sighed, and then reminded, "I got the news from the pheasant, Xue Xiong will find someone to make trouble in the restaurant tomorrow." You are in the brick kiln under Liuhe Mountain, and there will be people looking for trouble, but it is Chen Shirun from Tu Village. ”

Chen Shirun, Xue Xiong.

The two of them actually played such a trick, did they want to let themselves take care of one thing and lose the other? The brick kiln had already instructed Xue Wang, and it had been deployed a few months ago, and today he had contact with Zhang Shan'an, so he was not worried.

As for the restaurant, it is now receiving diners, and it is Chen Cripple who is in charge inside, so I am afraid it is not so handy to deal with this matter.

"I have arrangements for the brick kiln, first to deal with the restaurant." In an instant, Chen Ping made a decision, "Where did Xue Xiong find the person from?" Can there be a breakthrough? ”

"It's a homeless person from various counties in Henan, who has no foundation to worry about here, and it is for Xu Youmao to be connected to the side house of the house, and it may be difficult to break through for a while." Zhu Xie shook his head.

The two talked for a while, Chen Ping understood Zhu Xie's progress in the past ten years, and explained the direction of the task in the second half of the year.

After crossing the cross street, go to the restaurant in the northwest direction.

The restaurant is three floors high, a corresponding blue brick, the door is wide, look up, and there is a plaque hanging on the outer wall of the second floor, which reads the words "Jun Customer Inn" in regular letters.

The shape is square, the strokes are straight, and the vigor is powerful.

There was an endless stream of people coming in and out, and there were two jobs standing at the door, greeting the guests.

"Hello guest officer, welcome to the guest inn, do you want to eat or stay?" A guest walked around, and a guy next to him immediately greeted him, a foot away, standing sideways, and the introduction did not block the view of the guests, "You are here for the first time, right?" ”

Although he has been practicing for several decades, Chen Tian's words still paused deliberately, not so coherent and natural.

The guests were dressed in brocade clothes, and they had a sense of wealth and nobility when they stretched out their hands, and they looked at the hall with novelty. I saw that there were more than a dozen tables in this hall, and the tables were full of people, and the floor was smooth and clean with wooden floors.

There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on all sides, although the inscription is not illiterate, but the font is still passable. In the corner of the wall, there are clay pots with plants.

It's really different from others.

"I'm from Punxian County, I heard that your meal is good, what do you have?" Liu Zumao originally came to Liuhe County to run his family's business, and he had to leave early tomorrow morning, and he heard that there was such a restaurant in the county, so he came over.

It was not the first time Chen Tian had met a diner like Liu Zumao, so he replied with a smile: "Our inn has three signature dishes, the first is braised pork, the second is lotus root pork rib soup, the third is grilled live fish, and there are other dishes that taste the same delicious." ”

There was already a diner in the hall who had already eaten, Liu Zumao smelled the fragrance wafting in, and felt that it was to his heart, his stomach was really hungry, but he glanced around, and he didn't find an empty seat.

Looking at the words, this is the key project of the training of the guys in the store, and Chen Tian, who is at the door, is even better, and immediately said: "This guest officer, there is a private seat on the second floor, are you going?" ”

"Oh? What does this seat say? "There are so many Mingtang, it is a signature dish, and it is a private seat, Liu Zumao is the first time to hear of it.

"The private seat is a small room, the interior environment is elegant, separated by a wooden barrier, not as noisy as the hall, and it is most suitable for receiving friends and entertaining guests." Chen Tian introduced, "But the price is more expensive than the hall, you?" ”

"Well, I'm alone. If that is the case, then go to the second floor and see what is different about this private room, and there will be no shortage of money. Liu Zumao waved his hand and let the work lead the way, which was originally to hang out, and let the slaves follow together.

Chen Tian answered, led first, and when he reached the second floor stairs, he led the diner to another guy: "Excuse me, guest officer, and then he will lead you to the second floor, if you have any orders, you can talk to him." Junko, take this guest officer to the private room. ”

"Guest officer, please come with me, the stairs are steep, watch your step." Chen Shun also smiled, his right hand was half extended, and he was leading Liu Zumao in half a step.

The stairs are not steep, but they are wide, Liu Zumao listened to Chen Shun's reminder, and he didn't feel disgusted in his heart, but felt that this inn was really different. Listening to the guys in the restaurant, it turns out that it makes people so comfortable?

Why haven't you found out before? (To be continued.) )
