Chapter 435: Uninvited Guest

That night, Huo Qingzhou did not live in the official post. Since Huo Roufeng also went to Xuanfu, everywhere he went, food and accommodation had been arranged a long time ago, so Huo Qingzhou would not be stupid enough to live in a humble official post.

Huo Roufeng lived in an inn under the name of Yongfeng, she had just stayed, and Huo Qingzhou also arrived with Ruyan and Ruwu.

The brother and sister had dinner, Huo Qingzhou sent his sister back to the house to sleep, and before he reached the door, he saw a guard with clear eyebrows standing outside the door.

Huo Qingzhou was slightly stunned, this guard was very familiar, but he couldn't name him for a while, it wasn't Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan, who had been following his sister.

Seeing the guard, Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "Xiaoye, there is a bed outside, you come in and sleep, let them take turns outside to watch the night." ”

Xiao Ye smiled and thanked him, and glanced at Huo Qingzhou intentionally or unintentionally.

Just by looking at it, Huo Qingzhou felt a chill on his neck, as if there was a thin knife back attached to his skin, which made him shudder.

No wonder it looks familiar, Xiaoya, this is Xiaoya!

He said, how could Zhanhuai rest assured that Xiaofeng would go to Jiubian, it turned out that he gave Xiaoye to her.

That little night is not a woman, no, she is not human!

"Brother, go back, I have Xiaoye with me, and no one can hurt me." Huo Roufeng said with a grin.

Huo Qingzhou snorted coldly, pulled his sister aside, and admonished: "That dominatrix is Zhanhuai's person, and what I went to do this time is Zhanhuai's case, so you just let her protect you, don't talk to her more, remember?" ”

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "I didn't remember." ”

After speaking, before Huo Qingzhou continued to advise, Huo Roufeng slipped into the house with a swish.

Although this is the place of Yongfeng, Huo Qingzhou is embarrassed to break into his sister's house.

He was so angry that he stomped his feet, greeted the ancestors of the Zhan clan in his heart, and then went back to his house to rest.

Seeing that he was back, Ruwu said in a low voice: "The eldest prince, the people of the Xie Gongzi of the Picking Hall have also moved in." ”

Huo Qingzhou was stunned and said, "How do you know it's his person?" ”

Ruwu said: "The little one recognized the Uncle Wang I met in Tongzhou." ”

So that's the case, Huo Qingzhou frowned, three years ago, when he was in Tongzhou, the Wang Bo next to Xie Sicheng used to block Ruyan and Ruwu out of the door, so these two boys have a deep memory of Uncle Wang.

"What's going on, let's talk about it in detail." Huo Qingzhou sat on the Taishi's chair and asked in a deep voice.

Ruwu said: "There are only six people living in the hotel, among them is the old man named Uncle Wang, among the other five, there is a man and a woman who seem to be husband and wife, and the other few people, including Uncle Wang, look like the retinue of the couple." The little one went to the counter just now and asked, the man claimed to be surnamed Tan, and he spoke official dialect, but it sounded a little Henan accent. Xiao thought about it, Uncle Wang was the person next to Gongzi Xie, and there were eight or nine out of ten of these people. ”

Huo Qingzhou asked again: "What does that couple look like and how old are they?" ”

Ruwu scratched his head and said: "If you think about it carefully, it's not like husband and wife, they live separately, maybe they are brothers and sisters." The man was in his early thirties, white-looking, with a black mole the size of a soybean on his chin, and he smiled when he spoke, looking like a businessman; The woman is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very handsome, the woman is dressed, and she looks like a young grandmother of any family. ”

A man with a big black mole on his chin?

Huo Qingzhou couldn't remember seeing such a person, but no matter what, this person must have something to do with the Taiping Society, otherwise, Uncle Wang would not have followed them.

"You go and find Zhang Shengping, just say that I have something to do with him." Huo Qingzhou said.

Zhang Shengping is Huo Roufeng's chief guard, who has been by Huo Roufeng's side for six or seven years.

Sure enough, when he heard Huo Qingzhou talk about the people who had just moved in, he didn't say a word, and sent two clever guards to keep an eye on him.

Then, Zhang Shengping invited the second shopkeeper over.

When he stayed in the hotel today, the letter that Zhang Shengping took out was not the letter of Yongfeng, but the letter from the Huo family's mansion, and the two shopkeepers were smart people, and they already knew it.

Zhang Shengping asked, "Is there a Taiping Society here?" ”

The second shopkeeper said: "I had it two years ago, but I only heard about it at that time, and I haven't seen anyone who is from the Taiping Society, but since last year, the shops around here have paid dues to the Taiping Society, and the people of the Taiping Society have come to our store once and sent it away with silver, and they will not give up in the future, but they have never been here since then." ”

Zhang Shengping nodded, the people from the Taiping Society did not come again, I am afraid they were told by the above. On the way from the capital to Guangdong, the ninth master also asked them to ask, Yongfeng's large and small shops, all of them did not pay dues to Taihuiping, and the situation of each shop was similar to what the second shopkeeper said.

I think it's because Xie Sicheng has an old relationship with Huo Jiu, and Taiping will sell the Huo family a face.

Zhang Shengping said: "Are there other inns around here?" ”

The second shopkeeper said: "This is the official road, it is the only way to go to Xuanfu, not only there are official posts, there are more than a dozen inns of all sizes, although our family is the largest, but it is not the best business, those small inns, the price is cheap, and the business is very good." ”

After saying this, everyone was silent, among these inns, only this one was not from the Taiping Society, but they chose this one!

There was nothing to do all night, and the next day, Huo Roufeng slept until three poles of the sun, and when he woke up, Huo Qingzhou was already gone.

She sat in the lobby of the inn to eat fritters and drink soy milk, she and Xiaoye sat at a table, and the other twenty or so guards scattered to occupy other tables. This is the official road, and the guests who stay at night come to leave at dawn, so at this time, they are the only ones who eat in the lobby.

The guy came over with tea eggs and said in a low voice: "The little one has sent hot water to the guest officer surnamed Tan, and it is estimated that he is about to come down." ”

Huo Roufeng tapped her fingers on the table to signal that she understood.

Xiao Ye peeled a tea egg and put it in Huo Roufeng's bowl, Huo Roufeng scooped out the egg yolk with a spoon, picked a small piece of egg white and put it in his mouth.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Huo Roufeng had already asked clearly, except for the more than 20 people in the inn at this hour, only Wang Bo and them had not left.

She continued to cut the tea eggs with a spoon without looking up.

A familiar voice sounded, it was Uncle Wang, he said: "Everyone cooks a bowl of Yangchun noodles, don't worry, let's not rush first." ”

Huo Roufeng still didn't raise her head, eating tea eggs with a spoon piece by piece, she was very gentle when she ate, and every movement was just right.
