Chapter 19: Heel
Entering the backyard, Liu Xiuzheng came out of the kitchen with a tray, and Lin Dong immediately beckoned him to put the food on the stone table.
Not long after, Wang Liumo also called for a thin bamboo pole and triangular eyes, and the three of them grabbed sacks and wooden sticks, and walked into the lobby while explaining to Liu Xiu, and then got into the counter.
The moonlight was bright and clean, the fragrance of vegetables was fragrant, Lin Dong's index finger moved, and he swept the entire stone table in an instant.
I went back to the room and found an ancient book, looked at it half-incomprehensibly, and half an hour later, the three of Wang Liuxi walked in with excitement.
"The shopkeeper, it's done, if you don't lie down for a year and a half, you will definitely not be able to get out of bed." Raising the bloody wooden stick, Wang Liumo said hehehe: "This kid came to the inn twice, and each time he looked at people with his nostrils, he thought it was quite tough." Who knows a set of sacks, a few sticks down, immediately wailing and begging for mercy, a few more sticks, fart and urine. This kind of person fights freely. ”
The thin bamboo pole sighed: "That's it, the ghost cries wolf, it's more enjoyable than listening to the lady of the drunken fairy building." ”
Lin Dong was speechless, with his right palm, there was an extra silver ingot of ten taels in his hand.
Seeing Lin Dong handing over the silver ingot, Wang Liumo hurriedly waved his hand: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing here?" It's a small thing, you just have to tell you to do it. ”
Lin Dong shook his head, got up and stuffed the silver ingot into Wang Liuxi's hand, and said with a smile: "My brother is settling accounts, and there is not much silver, so I should invite you to eat!" ”
"Then ......" Wang Liumo hesitated for a moment, stuffed the silver ingot into the placket and said, "Then I will thank the shopkeeper on behalf of the brothers." ”
"You're welcome!" After Lin Dong beckoned Wang Liuxi and the three of them to sit down, he said, "Little Liu, arrange a few people to inquire around about Fu Zizhou tomorrow morning." ”
"Fu Zizhou? Is there only one name? Wang Liumo asked.
"There's only one name, and it's not from our Sealand City." After thinking about it, Lin Dong continued: "It's the Liu Gongzi with the scholar in our inn, his real name is Fu Zizhou, you know his appearance and age, and then he will ...... This person has the ability to never forget, and his calligraphy should be extraordinary, and he should have a certain reputation in the entire Qiufeng Mansion, so he can ask the literati. ”
He ...... Got in trouble? Wang Liuxi couldn't help but ask, he has seen this Fu Zizhou many times, a scholar is more arrogant than the son of Sealand City, and his origin is definitely not small.
"It's serious!"
Lin Dong's eyes were slightly condensed, he was sure that the military advisor behind Dou Changkun was Fu Zizhou. The last time Fu Zizhou asked Lin Shuang to borrow Zhou Zhengye's big characters, it was not the so-called observation at all, but to study Zhou Zhengye's font, and after getting the first small topic of the calligraphy competition, he wrote a big character that was better than Zhou Zhengye and asked Dou Changkun to copy it.
With only one night, Dou Changkun can definitely only ensure that a small item can beat Zhou Zhengye. This Fu Zizhou is not simple, he actually thought of arranging Dou Changkun to provoke Zhou Zhengye before the results of the first small item came out, and then hit Zhou Zhengye hard after the results came out, so that Zhou Zhengye not only fell off the standard in the next small items, but even the archery competition on the second day could not be restored to his due calm and restrained.
In addition, the order of the competition was very coincidental against Zhou Zhengye, Dou Changkun endured it halfway, and only gave Zhou Zhengye's mood a hard blow after the calligraphy competition was over, and the object targeted by Fu Zizhou was undoubtedly Qiushui Academy.
Although Lin Dong has a good impression of Fu Chunjian, the dean of Qiushui Academy, this Fu Zizhou has such a scheming, and the purpose does not seem to be to ignore Fu Chunjian and death.
To be honest, Lin Dong didn't want to get involved.
Fu Zizhou shouldn't have let the little girl get involved in this conspiracy, if the little girl knew that she borrowed Zhou Zhengye's big characters to show Fu Zizhou, it would cause this kind of consequence, plus Dou Changkun's matter, her heart would definitely be covered with a thick layer of darkness.
This is something that neither the cowardly predecessor nor Lin Dong can tolerate.
Seeing that Lin Dong's gaze was getting more and more cold, Wang Liu's mole didn't dare to hesitate, and said: "Shopkeeper, don't be so troublesome, no matter where he comes from, a sack, even if you want to die, Xiaoliu will pat your chest now and accept it." ”
"It's not a sin to do as I say! Only by inquiring about his identity can I judge his intentions. Lin Dong shook his head.
"Okay!" Wang Liumole nodded heavily.
"And ......" Lin Dong asked, "Among your brothers, are there any clever people with sharp legs and feet?" ”
Wang Liumole disturbed his head and said stupidly: "It's a group of people who only know how to fight with fists." ”
"Shopkeeper, isn't Liu Xiu quite clever? The legs and feet are also sharp enough. Thin bamboo pole suddenly interjected.
Lin Dong vetoed: "Liu Xiu is too young, and he is not the same as you, this kind of thing is not suitable for him to get involved." ”
"Shopkeeper, what are you going to do?" Wang Liumo asked.
"I want to find someone to secretly follow Fu Zizhou, he will follow him wherever he goes, and it is best to overhear what he has said."
"It's easy to do!" Wang Liumo breathed a sigh of relief and patted the triangular eyes that were holding out his chest: "This kid used to be a famous thief in a neighboring county, and then he stole something that shouldn't have been stolen, so he came to Sealand City, and finally followed me as a gangster." There are few people in Sealand City who are better at this kind of thing than him. ”
"I can't see it, it's hidden in the depths! Are you sure? Lin Dong knocked on the shoulder of the triangular eye.
"Rest assured! I promise he can't see I'm following. The triangular eyes thumped their chests.
Lin Dong's heart was relieved: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Xiaoliu, how is the new inn doing? Didn't you say that you brought wood here today? Why didn't I see it when I passed by at night? ”
"I forgot if the shopkeeper didn't say it." Wang Liuxi said angrily: "At lunchtime, a few officials came, serving with delicious food and drink, and one of them also stuffed a piece of broken silver, but he was not allowed to transport wood to start construction." ”
"What reason?" Lin Dong asked.
"There's a fart reason, it's an order from the county master."
Lin Dong frowned slightly, this county master, does he want to knock on some silver, or stand out for others?
With a move in his heart, Lin Dong asked, "Those five tables that cost one or two silver seats every hour, how is the business lately?" ”
Wang Liuxi smiled and said: "Don't say it, the shopkeeper is wise, and there are really fools who are willing to spend a tael of silver to sit at these tables." Moreover, there are more and more such fools, and today the five tables alone earned ten taels of silver, which is almost enough to catch up with the inn's monthly income. ”
"In the future, when there are no guests, you can all go to those five tables to eat, and then you will know whether a tael of silver is worth it or not." Lin Dong smiled, and already somewhat understood the reason for being harassed.
**Not far from ten, there is a big restaurant in Zealand City, and I don't want Lin Ji Inn to be bigger.
"There's a lot of bullshit, go to sleep! I have time to inquire whether our county master will usually go out of the county office, and I will deal with the timber matter. ”
Lin Dong soon had a plan, with his current strength, he didn't have the capital to deal with Ling Mingli in Xilan City, so he could only find Bai Jingtai to find a way and smash it with silver. As for the loss, just look at the opportunity to get it back.
