Chapter 526: Xiaoxiang Inn
Then, I led the group behind me straight to the old house where Mr. Pi Ghost did business.
From a distance, the yin flame lamp at the door was still on, indicating that Mr. Guipi was there.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which means that Mr. Pi Ghost should have nothing to do with the rebel forces of the underworld, otherwise, the underworld would not have let it live in peace for a long time, and even if it can't be killed, it will put pressure on more than half a step to expel it.
If such a big thing happens, I believe that more than half a step will not turn around because of a yin and yang merchant and the underworld.
Previously, I ordered Huang Da to secretly spy on Mr. Skin Ghost, but the intelligence pointed to that Mr. Skin Ghost really had nothing to do with the rebel forces.
When I walked to the door, I was about to knock on the door, but the door opened automatically.
I asked the poisonous butterflies to wait, and walked straight into the lobby, Mr. Skin's eyes were fixed on me, and he said with some strangeness: "You are here again." ”
"I'm going to go to the capital city, in ten days." I don't have a word, get straight to the point.
Mr. Pi Ghost paused obviously, and said: "You have established a business network in more than half a step, presumably you should know what the situation is in the prefecture now, is it very urgent?" ”
"I'm in a hurry, I have to go." I nodded.
"The city of Xudu has been closed under martial law, and at present...... I'm afraid that only the He family in Yuzhou has this ability. Mr. Skin Ghost said.
"Yuzhou He's family?" I was stunned for a moment, and instinctively remembered the leather-clad guest.
The father of the leather coat is surnamed He, called He Lansheng, who went to Hongcun in the era when the educated youth went to the countryside, and later became infected with a curse in the cold water cave, and tried to lift the curse several times, but it was unsuccessful, and the curse was passed on to the leather coat after his death.
It is for this reason that the leather-coat went to Hongcun very early, disguised himself as a timber merchant, and later became acquainted with me.
I have always had a faint feeling that there is a family behind the leather coat, but it is not as powerful as the behemoth Miao family, it should be a small family.
Although it is a small family, it is rare, and it is unlikely that two He families will appear at the same time; Besides, the surname He is rare.
"The He family in Yuzhou is a dart shop in the Yin and Yang merchant group, and they are specifically responsible for transporting darts to the underworld, they travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds, and there should be a way." Mr. Pi Ghost explained, paused and said: "In this way, I will take a letter of resignation, and you go to the He family with the letter, they should sell me a few thin noodles, and the dart silver will be waived, and we will be clear after the matter is completed." ”
I said yes, I have more contact with Huang Da, and I have more understanding of the group of yin and yang merchants.
Yin and Yang Shang actually refers to a general name, and there are subdivisions in it, according to the number of employees, it is roughly divided into business houses, dart shops and tooth shops.
It is easy to understand that a trading house like Huang Da, buying and selling, is mainly engaged in the organization of the supply and the distribution of both the business. If the transportation distance is long and the goods are valuable, the business should be done, and they are responsible for transportation, dealing with various forces on the trade route, also called darts.
And Mr. Pi Ghost is a typical tooth business, also called a broker, such as the business of changing the book of life and death, it does not do it himself, but transfers it to others to do it, and specializes in being a middleman.
"Then where can I find the He family?" I asked.
"Go to Xiaoxiang Inn, but you can't go directly to that place, you have to go to a blind man named He in front of the Laojun Temple in Nancheng, Yuzhou, and he will take you there." Mr. Skin Ghost said.
My eyes widened and I was speechless for a while, the world is said to be big, but it is pitifully small to say small!
I have been to Xiaoxiang Inn and spent the night there!
At the beginning of the Hongcun incident, I was frightened and recklessly wanted to go to Thailand via Chongqing to escape the horror of the ghost.
On the road, I didn't die, it was the leather guest who picked me up in Chongqing, and the place where I stayed was the Xiaoxiang Inn.
After the Hongcun affair ended, I went to Chongqing to contact the leather clothes and Miao Miao, and the first thing I thought of was the Xiaoxiang Inn, but no one knew that place at all, and I was taken to the red light district next to Rouge Lake by the black car driver Gui Yihai, where I met Bai Xiangyue.
Bai Xiangyue told me how to go to Xiaoxiang Inn, which was not bad at all with what the leather ghost in front of me said, they all went to the Laojun Temple in the south of the city to find the blind man. It was also there that I got acquainted with the fake blind man and fat man who were specially arranged by Miao Miao to wait for me there.
At this moment, I even had the illusion of time to return to leaving Hongcun and just entering Chongqing.
The world is too big and too small. I didn't expect to go around and around, and finally went back to my original destination, Xiaoxiang Inn.
When Mr. Leather had finished speaking, he began to write a letter, which was quickly written, packed in yellow paper, and flew towards me from behind the human skin screen.
I took it, folded it and put it in my arms.
Mr. Pi Ghost said again: "When you see the blind man He, you just say that it is more than half a step to send a letter, and he will understand." ”
I nodded yes, then turned and walked out of the old house.
The poisonous butterfly and the fat man immediately came up, and I motioned for them not to speak, until they were far away, and then said, "It's a big matter, and you can't let anyone know about it." "Mr. Skin Ghost is obviously a good ear, and he knew from afar that I was coming, and opened the door.
The fat man nodded and said, "How is it, is there a way?" ”
"Yes, go to the Xiaoxiang Inn to find the He family." I'm here.
"Xiaoxiang Inn?" The fat man screamed and said, "I said, I always feel that there is a lot of evil in that place, and it turns out to be the territory of the Yin and Yang merchants." ”
"Haven't you been there?" I wondered.
The fat man shook his head and said, "No, Sister Miao Miao told me through Aunt Hong to let me wait for you in front of Laojun Temple to replace Old Blind He, and I am not familiar with Old Blind He, let alone take me to the territory of Yin Yang Shang." ”
"Then how did you get on the line with He Blind? Through the leather coater? I asked.
The fat man nodded and said, "The leather-clothed guest is indeed a member of the He family, but it seems to be a sideline, and the main family of the He family is the Yin and Yang businessman." ”
"Sideline." I muttered and nodded, it's no wonder, I've never heard the leather coat talk about the family behind him, it turns out that he is just a sideline, the main family's dart business, he is probably an outsider. Yin and Yang business is a very taboo, very closed industry, father to son, son to grandchild, the so-called descendants are all the main lineage, the side line is not counted.
According to common sense, the leather coat should have been a side line from his father or grandfather, or even earlier.
"By the way, why did you wait for me in front of the Laojun Temple in the first place? Wouldn't it be more convenient to come to me directly? "I wondered for a moment, and asked questions that I had forgotten about later.
"Tsk, do you really don't understand or don't you understand?" The fat man was speechless for a while: "You had a choice, if you choose to come to Chongqing, I will guide you, if you don't come, I won't go to you, because this is the choice given to you by Sister Miao Miao, only you can call the shots." ”
My heart warmed when I listened, it turned out that Miao Miao did not leave me after being placed under house arrest by the Council of Elders, but sent a fat man to wait for my arrival in front of the Laojun Temple, and also waited for my choice.
"In that case, let's go back to the leather, and if he can take you once, he can take you a second time." The fat man said.
I nodded, and then went out of the city again, saying goodbye to Huang Da and returning to the yang world.
By the time I got back to Rouge Lake, it was already the middle of the night, and I called the leather-clad man, who had obviously not slept yet, and I told him that I was going to the capital city.
The leather-clad man was a little surprised, and said, "Are you sure you want to go?" ”
I said I had to go, and he was silent for a moment and said, "I'll take you to the inn tomorrow." With that, he hung up the phone.
I went back to the taekwondo gym, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was necessary for Miao Miao to know in advance that they were all trustworthy people, and there should be no impact on safety. The most important thing is that the Ghost Gate Pass is in the eastern Sichuan District, and it bears the brunt.
It was the maid Xiaohong who answered the phone, and I asked her to inform Miao Miao that she had time to call me back, and she should go.
After another night, Miao Miao came to call early the next morning, I told me about the matter, she was very worried about my safety, but also said that I had to go, I comforted her for a while, and repeatedly told me to be careful.
After that, I waited left and right, thinking that the leather-clad man should come in the morning, but he drove over in the afternoon when it was nearly dark, and took me to the south of the city after getting in the car, and because of the secrecy of the Yin and Yang merchants, Miao Miao and the fat man could not go.
On the way, I asked the leather guest about the Xiaoxiang Inn, and the leather guest said: "Actually, I don't have much to do with the He family, the generation of the main family and I have been divided into five or six generations, it can only be said that it is a family, the road is not the same, and there is usually no contact, I don't know much about their affairs, but I am now a big eye in eastern Sichuan, they will more or less sell me a little thin noodles, plus you have more than half a step of letters, the problem should not be big." ”
I nodded, as the saying goes, one generation of relatives, two generations, and three generations have no relatives, which is separated by five or six generations, and it is indeed very far away, plus the circle of yin and yang merchants is originally closed, it is completely conceivable.
After arriving in the south of the city, it was already completely dark, and the leather-clad man drove left and right, and even passed the same place three times, as if looking for something.
Not long after, he said: "When I arrive, Xiaoxiang Inn only picks up darts at night." With that, he ran straight into a tree.
I was startled, instinctively closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I found that there was an antique farmhouse inn with red lanterns in front of me, and a signboard hung on it: Xiaoxiang people's house.
It is the Xiaoxiang Inn!
The leather-clad man stopped the car, turned to me and said, "Wait for them to answer whatever they ask, don't say it if it's not necessary, they don't like to do strangers' business very much, and their temper is a little weird." ”
I nodded hurriedly, this is similar to Mr. Leather Ghost, once raw and twice ripe, and it will be good when it is cooked.
Then, the leather-clad guest took me into the Xiaoxiang Inn.
