Chapter 303: Letters
"There is another thing, I sent a letter to the six people from Jiangnan, but the meaning of this letter is incompetent, and I don't even understand it." After Tong Dacai finished speaking, he took out a letter from his belt.
Lin Mei couldn't help but be surprised: "And the letter you don't understand?" β
"Master, see for yourself." Tong Dacai handed it over a little helplessly.
Lin Mei opened it and took a look, what was written, except for a seven-character line, only a villain and a boat were drawn.
"Could it be that he wants to go?"
"The old slave thought this at the time, did he want to come back in seven days?" Tong Dacai guessed.
Ke Linmei quickly denied it, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, if he really wants to come back, he doesn't need to ask someone to bring a letter." He should have something to tell me, but it was inconvenient for him to disclose it to outsiders, so he wrote such a letter. β
As soon as she said this, Tong Dacai remembered it and said: "I chatted a few words with the guy who sent the letter, I heard that Xiang Liu mixed well in Jiangnan, but I didn't hear that he had any plans to leave, and the guy also said that a few days ago, he also took the official from Beijing to go to the head of the trough gang to drink and chat, and he mixed a lot of face in the trough gang." β
"Wait, the official of Jingli? Have you ever wondered who it is? If Xiang Liu had such connections, he wouldn't have done anything like stealing chickens and dogs. β
The guy said that he didn't know either, and he heard Xiang Liu call him the seventh master, and he didn't know which road official it was. At that time, the people of the Groove Gang also teased that the official had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, not like an official, but like a girl, but because of his impatience with kung fu, he cleaned up a few people who were not long-sighted in the Groove Gang, so that everyone had to obey. β
"Seventh Master? The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, but like a girl, and she is impatient with kung fu. Lin Mei muttered and chattered in her mouth, and suddenly remembered a person in her mind, and then looked carefully at the villain on the letter, and asked while holding the villain's waist: "Do you see that this looks like a whip." β
Tong Dacai stretched out his head and observed carefully: "It's really a bit similar!" Who did the master think of? β
Lin Mei nodded, pointed to the boat and the villain above, and said, "If you guess correctly, this person is Qi Niang, Xiang Liu is afraid to tell us that Qi Niang has been eyeing the Groove Gang." β
Hearing her words, Tong Dacai couldn't help but be stunned, "She's in Jiangnan?" No wonder I can't find her whereabouts. Is she trying to compete with her master? β
"Fight? I didn't think about asking for a trough gang at all, but she was a little surprised to go to Jiangnan at this time. β
Tong Dacai's eyes widened, and he was puzzled: "Why did the faction send six to Jiangnan?" β
"Sending Xiang Liu to Jiangnan is just to disturb the chaos of the Sun family and make the Sun family fight. It's just that I didn't expect that someone who had no news suddenly appeared in Jiangnan. β
Seeing her calm tone, Tong Dacai's heart was suspended for a long time before he let go, I was really afraid that her brain would be hot and she would start the idea of the Groove Gang, and the people who could do the Groove Gang were not easy to provoke, not to mention the master and a woman.
"That's it, King Qi has already set his sights on the trough gang, and it is only a matter of time before the Sun family falls, you let Xiang Liu come back early."
As he spoke, he immediately heard the sound of heavy footsteps outside the house.
Listening to the noise, you know that this person is coming.
Lin Mei couldn't help frowning, because the store hadn't opened yet, and there were only guards in the store at this time, and there was no one else.
"Master, there are a few military masters in the store, saying that they want to see you, but they are too small to be the masters on their own, so they will report it." The man was polite, and stood in front of the faΓ§ade and said loudly.
Military master?! Is this fast enough? Lin Mei had already guessed who it was, but she was still slightly surprised in her heart.
said to Tong Dacai: "You have to find a way to get out through the back door, don't let people find out." β
"What should you do, master?"
"What are you afraid of, can he still eat me?! Besides, maybe he's just here to catch up. After Lin Mei finished speaking, she simply put aside the worries in her heart, smiled at him, opened the door, and left.
Restaurant lobby.
Gu Amo didn't see it, he sat alone at a table, screwed the teapot, and found that it was empty, his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and the smile disappeared very quickly.
Hongxinglou has been closed for so long, and she is not in a hurry to contact King Qi when she is not seen, so it can be seen that it is deliberate.
The curtain moved slightly, and Lin Mei walked in and saluted respectfully. "I've seen a few masters, the small shop is not ready to open, and there are no ingredients in the store, if you want to eat, I'm afraid you will have to deign to go to another house."
"Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Mei's eyes flashed, and she instantly smiled brightly: "What kind of wind is blowing you here today." Why don't you say hello in advance, you see that my small shop has nothing to prepare, and I want to get a table of good wine and food, but I am afraid that I will have to wait for half a day. β
While talking, he peeked at his expression, and saw that he was not displeased, so he was a little bolder, and said to the man: "Hurry up and boil water and make tea, and then go and inform Fugui that there is a distinguished customer in the store, and let him go to the street to buy some chicken, duck and fish." β
Gu Amo stared at her a few times, couldn't see any changes, and sighed: "I wanted to be your shopkeeper in Baishui Town, it was a good time for the years to be quiet, how can it be like being busy all the time now, I finally came to Luoyang, and I was ready to try your craftsmanship, it was so unfortunate." β
Lin Mei smiled slightly, and joked: "Since you miss it so much, it's better to quit your errand and come to my Hongxing Building as the shopkeeper, and in the future, good wine and good food will be enough......"
"Presumptuous, my family is also your ......"
Gu Amer stopped the subordinate who spoke out in time with a look.
Lin Mei was slightly stunned, pretending to be panicked, and said, "Lord Gu, this ...... I'll just say it in passing, how can I really let you be the shopkeeper for a long time. Master Gu wait, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. β
"There's no hurry."
As soon as the words fell, the subordinates reacted very quickly to block Lin Mei's way out.
Lin Mei knew that the comer was not good, so she could only be careful step by step. sat directly opposite him, and said with a straight face: "Why, it turns out that Lord Gu didn't come to eat sincerely, but actually came to play official power?" β
Gu Amo smiled: "Miss Lin misunderstood, we are all doing things for King Qi, but our responsibilities are different. Subordinates don't understand the situation, and they are offended. β
"Tut-tut......" As soon as King Qi was mentioned, Lin Mei was even more angry, anyway, this room was surrounded by his subordinates, and no one else would break in if he wanted to come, and he didn't want to save face for him, so he said straightly: "Sensei has a relationship with me, and King Qi and I are just business partners." How can you compare with Lord Gu, you have a black gauze hat buttoned on your head, and the opposite thing will not affect your head. I'm just a flat coat, and I didn't get any benefits, but I almost lost the lives of my family. β
"What kind of angry thing did Miss Lin say, but someone is angry with you? Come on, come on, tell Big Brother Gu, I'll be angry for you! β
Lin Mei saw that he was pretending to be confused, thinking about the doubts in her heart, and had the intention of deceitful, and said coldly: "Hmph, Qi Niang promised me that the matter of food would definitely not involve the Lin family. But in a blink of an eye, she disappeared, not to mention, the government even found out to the Lin family, if it wasn't for my quick response, the Lin family would have died. Since King Qi threw out the Lin family, the matter of cooperation should be terminated, count me Lin Mei as having eyes and beads, and mistakenly believing in non-people! β
"Is there such a thing?" Guamo gasped.
Feign! You're pretending! See how long you can fit?
Lin Mei smiled sarcastically angrily: "It seems that the spies under Master Gu are not good, and they haven't inquired about such a big thing!"
"Wronged, indeed wronged. I also just came back from Taiyuan not long ago, and I found something in this capital, and before I had time to inquire, I was sent to Luoyang to look for someone, and it was the first time I heard about the Lin family. After Gu Amer finished speaking, he was so strong that he bowed his hand to express his shame.
