Tong Fugui wore a tattered black robe, squatted on the ground opposite the door of Xiao's house, and for three days, he didn't hear any useful news, and he didn't know why, the eldest lady insisted on letting him stare at it.

Tong Fugui took out a baked cake from his arms and just ate two bites, suddenly the side door of Xiao's house opened, and a person came out, looking like a steward, sneakily walking towards Causeway Lane, his behavior was very suspicious, Tong Fugui was curious, so he followed.

Tong Fugui followed all the way, and when he saw the man walking all the way to the east towards the suburbs, he was even more curious, bold, and slowly followed behind pretending to be very casual, and took a bite of the baked cake from time to time, for fear of being seen by the man.

The man sensed that there was someone behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a man dressed in tatters and walking while eating, thinking it was a passerby, so he ignored it.

After walking about thirty miles, the man walked into a village, and Tong Fugui was a little anxious and quickly chased after him.

Suddenly, a big hand covered his mouth from behind and dragged him to the back of a small farmhouse, so frightened that Tong Fugui didn't dare to move, and quickly thought about how to save his life in his heart, but heard a familiar voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

Tong Fugui looked at it later, it turned out to be the ancient shopkeeper, and he made a false alarm, and immediately put his heart in his stomach. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" Does your family live here? ”

The ancient shopkeeper made a booing gesture and said in his ear: "You go back first, it's dangerous here, I'll explain it to you later." ”

Tong Fugui heard this, and his heart beat a drum, but the ancient shopkeeper's martial arts are good, this is something he heard when he entered the Lin family, seeing that he was so cautious, he thought that what he said was true, and after bowing, he left quietly.

Tong Fugui hurried back to Yulin Lane and told Miss Lin what had just happened.

"You said that the ancient shopkeeper asked you to come back?" Lin Mei was shocked when she heard this.

Seeing him nod and confirm again, Lin Mei thought about what had happened in the recent days again. But he couldn't figure it out in many places, so he asked: "Did the Luo family and the Xiao family have any grievances before?" ”

Tong Fugui thought for a while and said: "The Luo family and the Xiao family have never had business dealings, the Xiao family has always looked down on the Luo family, I heard that the three old ladies of the West Mansion wanted to climb the Xiao family before, but they never climbed, the two families have not heard of any enmity, and I don't know much about the rest, or I will call Wang Lin in, you ask him, he has been in the Luo family longer than me, and he should know more than me." ”

Lin Mei thought for a while and said, "Cao Dahu has been in the Luo family for a longer time, you let the two of them come over together." ”

After a bowl of tea, Cao Dahu and Wang Lin entered the Furong Hall with their front and back feet.

The two glanced at each other, saluted and asked, "I don't know what the eldest lady wants to ask?" ”

"Just tell me everything you both know about the Luo family, and Tong Fugui will also come in and listen." Lin Mei said and saw Tong Fugui standing outside the door and shouted at him.

Cao Dahu has been staying in Zhuangzi and has not had much contact with the Luo family, so he knows very little about the affairs of the Luo family.

Wang Lin thought for a while and said: "Except for the unpleasant trouble caused by the division of the East and West Mansions, the Luo family has really never heard of conflicts with other big clans in the town, even if there is a little entanglement, according to the Luo family's previous solution, most of them will settle the matter with a little silver." However, the girl of the Luo family also played a lot of roles, when the two mansions were separated, the eldest lady of the Luo family in Xifu married Cao Zhu, and Cao Zhushu helped Xifu make a lot of efforts. Later, the Xifu gave money to pay for it, and I heard that he was later transferred to a small county in the south to become a county magistrate. ”

Wang Lin paused for a moment and said, "However, half a year ago, I heard that Young Master Luo and Young Master Xiao were fighting for the Oiran of the Full Moon Tower, and they were beaten by Young Master Xiao, but then it was over, and I don't know if this matter counts?" ”

But such a romantic past is not worth mentioning among the big clans at all, Wang Lin said secretly in his heart.

After hearing this, Lin Mei also felt that this matter was not enough to make the two families have a life-and-death feud, and fell into deep thought again.

Furong Hall suddenly quieted down, and Wang Lin didn't dare to come out, so he had to look at each other.

For a long time, Tong Fugui had the courage to ask, "How did the eldest lady think of staring at the Xiao family?" ”

Lin Mei sighed and said: "I also made a mistake, thinking that the Xiao family and the Ning family are both big families with a history of 100 years, and the relationship network is also intertwined, we can't compare, but if the two of them get the inside news in advance, there will definitely be a big move, so let's follow and find a way." ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, which made everyone nervous.

Xu Rongsheng entered the Furong Hall at this time, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's good news, this is the county lord patrolling the streets with the officials, claiming that the city has sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it will be stationed in our Baishui Town in the near future, and the county lord will also let everyone open the market tomorrow." ”

This is the first good news since the beginning of the year.

Lin Mei also had a rare smile on her face when she heard this.

Tong Fugui and Wang Lin glanced at each other, and asked boldly: "This is a good thing, so can our restaurant open tomorrow?" ”

The last sentence was asked to Lin Mei.

Lin Mei thought about it again and again, and said: "It's okay to open early, everyone has been worried recently, so that everyone has something to do and is practical, today we will recruit all the people, and tomorrow we will clean the restaurant first, if the market opens tomorrow, Uncle Wang will prepare the goods tomorrow, and we will open for business the day after tomorrow." ”

It's not open for a day, there is no income, and she has to feed this big family, Lin Mei is also under a lot of pressure, and at the same time, Daddy Lin has no news for a long time, Lin Mei also wants to take the opportunity to release a search revelation to find people, and it is only right that she has to hurry up and make money.

……

When Daddy Lin woke up, he looked at the unfamiliar room, he drank very much, struggled a few times, and his abdomen hurt, only then did he realize that he was injured, and instantly recalled the events of that night.

Daddy Lin chased all the way for forty miles, and was about to catch up with the man, Daddy Lin shot an arrow from behind, and his eyesight was not very good at night, and he vaguely saw the figure falling, thinking that he had hit the person, so he ran over, but he didn't expect that the man was not dead, but just crawled underground and ambushed.

When Daddy Lin rushed up, the man took the opportunity to stab Daddy Lin with a dagger, but fortunately, Daddy Lin reversed quickly and took two steps back, but that's it, he was still stabbed in the abdomen, but the wound was not deep, Daddy Lin was furious and scuffled with him.

In terms of archery, maybe Daddy Lin is still very sure, but in terms of fist and foot kung fu, Daddy Lin is a little weaker, and he hasn't practiced much over the years, and his physical strength can't keep up.

At this time, Xiao Hei pounced like a divine soldier, biting the man's neck, the man couldn't take care of Daddy Lin anymore, and stabbed Xiao Hei with a dagger, and the stabbed Xiao Hei bit even more and didn't let go, Daddy Lin took a breath and got up, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and shot an arrow at the man's head, seeing that the man really fell this time, Daddy Lin was relieved and fell to the ground.

As for the rest of the matter, Daddy Lin didn't know very well, and he felt as if someone had fed him water during his sleep.

I don't know how the family is now, and whether everything is okay with Meizi.
