Chapter Twenty-Six: Xiangfeng Inn Acting according to the plan
Early the next morning, Zhou Rong went to Wu County with the plain-clothed envoy who came to look for Yang Zheng.
Everyone decided that they could go to the Zhifeng Tea Shop to meet, or leave a message to Guan Xiaoyuan, the guy at the Zhifeng Tea Workshop, so they acted separately again.
Sima Jingwen entered and exited the Tiancheng Inn as Wang Dao.
Yi Xue and Xiu Wuji packed up and left the inn to find another place.
Yi Xue and Wuji walked on the street, about a mile away from Zhifeng Tea House, and found that there was a larger inn, and the door plaque said "Xiangfeng Inn", Yi Xue looked at this name, and couldn't help but think: This inn will not also be the door industry of Luofeng Villa.
So he said to Wuji: "It's here, it looks good." ”
Wuji stepped forward: "Shop, can you have a room?" ”
The guy in the store saw that there were customers and doors, and he greeted him with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, our store has two good rooms." ”
After speaking, he shouted at the store: "There are two distinguished guests, Xiaoxing quickly lead the horses of the two nobles to the backyard." ”
I just heard a "come", and I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old guy running out of the store in a hurry, shaking his wit, and his little face smiled:
"Two distinguished guests, please inside, and the horse will be handed over to me, and the best forage will be served."
Yi Xue and Wuji both smiled when they saw this half-grown child-like young man, looking old.
The two handed over the horse to this guy named Xiaoxing, and followed the guy who greeted the guest at the door into the inn, and the guy took Yi Xue's package diligently.
Yi Xue looked around and found that the layout in this inn was similar to that of Zhifeng Tea House, although there were no four season flowers, but the wall was framed with calligraphy and paintings, and the row of lanterns decorating the storefront was similar to Zhifeng Tea House.
I already know in my heart that this is indeed the industry of Luofeng Villa.
The guy led the way, and his mouth accosted: "Where did the noble man come from?" ”
"We're from Luoyang."
"Your Excellency chose our Xiangfeng Inn right, we are specially suitable for the merchants of the north and south!"
Then he took Yi Xue and Wuji upstairs, walked around more than half of the corridor, came to the two upper rooms inside, opened one of them, and said, "Two distinguished guests, this is the best upper room of our inn, can you be satisfied?" ”
Yi Xue saw that although this room was not as big as the Tianzi suite where Sima Jingwen lived, and the layout was not so luxurious, it was also a suite with an open room inside and out, so she nodded with satisfaction.
The guy said happily: "It's good that the guest is satisfied, and the room next to it is also of the same standard." The two of you will stay first, and I will go and prepare tea and refreshments for the two of you first. Yi Xue nodded.
Wuji lived in the outer room, and Yi Xue lived in the inner room.
After a while, the man knocked on the door with tea and refreshments and entered Yi Xue's room, put down the tea and snacks, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, please use it slowly, if you need it, just ask." ”
Saying that he was ready to quit.
Yi Xue said: "Little second brother doesn't have to be too polite, my surname is Mu." Dare to ask what to call a guy? ”
"My surname is Guan, just call me Xiaoman."
Yi Xue laughed when she heard this, and asked in a mischievous tone, "The one named Xiaoxing is also surnamed Guan."
"Yes, his name is Guan Xiaoxing."
Although Yi Xue understood that this Xiangfeng Inn was also the property of Luofeng Villa, she still couldn't help asking, "Zhifeng Tea House and yours Xiangfeng Inn are the same?" ”
Guan Xiaoman heard Yi Xue mention Zhifeng Tea Workshop, a trace of vigilance and suspicion flashed in his eyes, and then replied with a smile: "Nobleman, you really have eyesight, our Xiangfeng Inn and Zhifeng Tea House are indeed the same owner, dare to ask the nobles who have eaten tea in Zhifeng Tea Workshop?" ”
Yi Xue said with a smile: "I am familiar with Mr. Guan of Zhifeng Tea House, and I want to trouble you to go to Zhifeng Tea House." ”
"Oh? Childe and Mr. Kwan acquaintance? ”
"Yes, I still know Guan Xiaoyuan, listen to the name, the three of you are brothers? Guan Xiaoyuan should be his brother, right? ”
Guan Xiaoman replied with a smile: "We are not brothers, we were raised by Mr. Guan since childhood, so we all have the surname Guan." ”
"Oh, I see!"
"Dare to ask, what did Mu Gongzi ask Xiaoman to go to Zhifeng Tea House?"
"You go and tell Guan Xiaoyuan, just say that Mu Yi has already lived in the Xiangfeng Inn, and he will explain some things to you, and you will come to me again when you come back."
Guan Xiaoman saw Yi Xue say this, so he responded: "Don't worry, Master Mu, I'll go." With that, he withdrew.
Here Murong Jia took Qinghu to Chai City to look for Long Si, he still had something to confirm with Long Si, but after looking for a few laps, he couldn't find it, so he came to Sheng Ji Old Wine to prepare for lunch.
Sheng Ji's men saw Murong Jia come in and found a location facing the street by themselves, so they greeted him, "Two guest officers, what are you going to eat today?" ”
"Cut three catties of beef, a chicken, a plate of amaranth, a fish soup with lettuce, and a pot of wine." The Eagle said.
"Okay, I'll come up here."
"By the way, do you have any pasta at this shop?"
"You really asked, we come and go to Chai City to do business, and we really have baked cakes."
"Then two more biscuits per person."
"Okay, you two wait a minute, the wine and food will come up soon."
Seeing the man leave in a hurry, Qinghu asked:
"Childe, why didn't you say that this Long Si was not in Chai City today, it's noon."
"I'll find out by asking the guy in a moment." Murong Jia looked at the crowded street and said casually.
After a while, the man came up with the wine and food, put down the wine and food, and said "the guest officer uses it slowly" and wanted to leave.
was stopped by Qinghu: "Little second brother, dare to ask this Yake Longsi on the street of Dongshi, why didn't he come today?" ”
"Two looking for Ryusi?"
"yes, we have a business that we need his help with."
The guy took a serious look at Murong Jia and Qinghu, and remembered that it was these two who followed Long Si to meet a table of guests in the store two days ago.
So he replied: "Since this dragon four came with the two of you, he hasn't seen anyone for the past few days, so he must have some business." ”
"And where else can I find him?" The eagle asked.
"Ryusi is different from other tooth keeping, he never tells us his whereabouts. Alas, he is not the only one on the street, do you want me to introduce you to other customers? "Warm welcome from the guys ready to recommend.
I only heard Murong Jia smile and said: "Don't bother the little second brother, we still need to rely on him for this business, let's wait for two more days." ”
"Okay, then don't bother the two guest officers, and call me again if you have something." The guy walked back after saying that.
"Childe, where do you think this Dragon Four can go?"
"Isn't it that this Long Si also returned to Luofeng Villa." Murong Jia thought about it, but he didn't say it, he only said to Qinghu: "Eat." ”
The two were eating, only to hear the sound of a man arguing and a woman crying at the door of a rice shop across the street.
When the eagle heard the noise of the street, he looked down the street, and saw a few men arguing with the men and the shopkeeper, and a woman crying beside them.
Qinghu greeted Murong Jia: "Childe, I'll take a look." Murong Jia nodded.
After about a quarter of an hour, the Kung Fu Falcon returned.
Before Murong Jia could ask, he said to himself: "It was a few tenants who came to the rice shop to make rice, because the price of rice was too low, and they had an argument with the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop asked the man to take a stick and drive the farmer out. ”
"Then why do men quarrel and women cry?"
"This is the case with several rice shops, and the attitude of the shopkeeper of this rice shop may be even worse, and the tenant is angry and just theorizes with the shopkeeper and the guy, and the shopkeeper makes the guy rude."
After hearing this, Murong Jia looked out again, and saw that the tenants had suffered a loss, and wanted to step forward to help them, but saw the tenants sighing and thinking that they were unlucky and ready to leave.
Murong Jia pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: The person who went to the yamen to make trouble has been sent to the door.
"Let's go, let's go follow them." Murong Jia stood up.
"Childe, what are you going to do?" Qinghu asked, puzzled.
"Just follow me."
Qinghu hurriedly put down some broken silver and called the man to settle the bill, and followed Murong Jia to leave Sheng Ji Old Wine.
