"How can people have, aren't these two words one heaven and one underground!" Xia Yu was unconvinced, and argued loudly.

made such a joke, even Xiaobao covered his mouth and snickered, only Xia Yu still felt that he used the right words and couldn't be more accurate.

In the midst of the noise, Dian Hai drove the carriage to the side of the road and asked inside, "Girl, do we want to stay here?" ”

With a light smile on her face, Baili Lan lifted the curtain and looked out. The gaze that can be looked at at will suddenly becomes sharp and dangerous.

Seeing that Baili Lan suddenly quieted down and didn't speak, Xiaobao also leaned over, looked out and said, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." Turning around, Bai Lilan restrained the murderous aura in her body, and said in a light tone, "Take a rest here tonight, and continue to rush tomorrow." ”

"Great! Sister Chunfeng can cook delicious food for Xiaobao again! Along the way, Baili Qingbao either pestered the spring breeze to make snacks for him, or grinded her to make various dishes. On Wulao Mountain, she was still very suspicious of Chunfeng's craftsmanship, but now she has become an out-and-out follower.

Tapping the tip of Xiaobao's nose, Bailijun smiled, "You know how to eat, if you grow up like this, you will become a big fat man!" "Since knowing that Baili Lan will be a matchmaker for herself, Baili Jun is happy every day. Although she occasionally had doubts, she had seen Baili Lan's ability, and the small apprehension in her heart was replaced by expectations, looking forward to meeting Shangguan Yan again one day.

Dongxue went to the front to inquire, and when he came back, he stood under the carriage and said to Baili Lan, "County Lord, there is a guest in front of you, and it has a good reputation in the local area. ”

"That place, how far from here?"

"It's not far, just three streets."

"Well, that's it!" Bai Lilan glanced at the door of the store with the plaque dangling again, then lowered the curtain and continued to move forward.

As Dongxue said, the guest house is safe and quiet, and although the business is prosperous, the layout is reasonably designed to reduce noise transmission and allow guests to enjoy tranquility. The shopkeeper arranged two upper rooms and two lower rooms for Baili Lan and the others, because Bai Lilan didn't like to share a bed with people, so Xiaobao could only live with Bai Lijun. Everyone put the things in place, and Bai Lilan secretly contemplated in the room. Time passed imperceptibly, and it wasn't until the spring breeze knocked on the door that Baili Lan was shocked to realize that the sky had turned dark.

"County Lord, dinner is ready, is it time to eat?"

Patting her cheek, Bai Lilan said a little tiredly, "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet, go out first." ”

Chunfeng was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Where is the county master, the slave and maid will follow you." ”

"No, it's better for me to go to that place alone. You can serve the fourth lady and the little boy well. ”

Hearing Baili Lan say this, Chunfeng had no choice but to take the order. After the silence outside the door, Bai Lilan changed into simple clothes and walked out of the guest house neatly.

Walking through three alleys along the street, Bai Lilan walked into an inconspicuous pawnshop, knocked on the table, and said, "I want to pawn something, can the shopkeeper do it?" ”

As if he didn't expect business to come to the door, the young man hurriedly raised his head from under the counter, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with misty eyes, "Girl, the shop is not officially open yet, and it will start to be listed tomorrow." ”

"Hmph, if it's not open and it's still open, do you fool the customers like fools!" After Bai Lilan heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and the cold breath made the young man feel energetic immediately, but he was shocked by Bai Lilan's amazing beauty, his mouth opened, but he couldn't make a sound.

The young man's demented expression made Bai Lilan even more impatient, and he reached out and picked up an abacus and knocked it on the young man's head, urging one after another, "Go and find your shopkeeper, I must exchange silver here today!" ”

Covering his head in pain, the young man thought to himself, how could such a beautiful person be so short-tempered! And it's so heavy, and I have a big bag on my head!!

Afraid that Bai Lilan would continue to use that abacus as a weapon, the young man stepped back twice, not daring to be confused by the beauty, and said with a smile, "Girl, it's not that the little one doesn't look for the shopkeeper, but that there is no business here today, please be early tomorrow!" Or go to another pawnshop, why bother with a small shop? Go out and turn left, go straight down and you will see a pawnshop, the business is doing very well, it will definitely be able to take your business! ”

"Why is there so much nonsense, I'll let you go to the shopkeeper, and you'll go find it!" Although it was far away, Bai Lilan waved his arm and directly threw the abacus out, but fortunately, the young man reacted quickly and bent his body to avoid a catastrophe.

Now the young man is completely scared, and this beauty can also do martial arts! Immediately turned around and ran to the backyard, and said loudly as he ran, "The little one is going to ask the shopkeeper, let's go!" ”

Clapping her palms, Bai Lilan found a chair and sat down expressionlessly, waiting for a long time.

After a while, Baili Lan heard a steady footstep come out, and then the cotton curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a goatee walked out. When the man saw Baili Lan's appearance, he first stepped forward and saluted, and then said, "Presumably, the girl also knows the situation of the shop today, and she can't take over your business, so the girl should please go back." ”

Sitting on the chair, Baili Lan lowered her eyes slightly, and said lightly, "I don't know what the master of the door thinks, I sent you two guys who don't know how to be flexible to Nanzhao." Everything is ready, so why wait until tomorrow to take over business? ”

Hearing Bai Lilan say this, the shopkeeper's expression changed greatly, but he was a little incredulous. After hesitating, he said suspiciously, "Mountains and rivers love the sea and the earth." ”

"Don't talk to me about those code words." Baili Lan leisurely took off the token from her waist, shook it in front of the shopkeeper, and then said, "I only have this, I don't know if it can be used well in your place." ”

The shopkeeper left with his eyes wide open, then lowered his head, and said in horror, "The subordinates don't know that Ling Shi is coming, if you are lazy, please Haihan!" ”

"Forget about being sluggish, but do you think it's appropriate to say these secret words in this place where people come and go?"

The shopkeeper didn't know when there was a female Ling Shi in Baixiangmen, but the brand in her hand couldn't be fake, so she hurriedly continued, "It's the subordinates who are not thoughtful, Ling Shi is here, please." ”

Getting up lazily, Baili Lan walked in front of the shopkeeper and looked at the pawnshop casually.

Entering the inner room, Baili Lan found that there was actually something else here. Although from the outside, this shop is inconspicuous, just like an ordinary small pawnshop, there is no business, and the life is chaotic. But after entering here, you will find that there are all kinds of precision instruments and exquisite layouts inside, and trespassers will not only not be able to enter to steal information, but may also die here.

"Ling Shi, please follow behind his subordinates and move forward cautiously, if you make a wrong step, I am afraid that it will cause trouble." As he spoke, the butler moved nimbly, sliding his steps from side to side on the flat ground, and finally reached the round table safely. Baili Lan did the same, and easily passed the trap and stood opposite the shopkeeper.

Turning around and looking at the road behind him, Bai Lilan casually threw the stone on the ground, and heard the three "whoosh" sounds, three sharp swords broke out of the air, nailed to the wooden pillar, and the tail of the sword was still trembling. Pursing the corners of her lips, Bai Lilan said, "Your trap is exquisite. ”

"Ling Shi has won the award, in Baixiang Gate, it is just a small skill of carving insects."

"You are too humble, what Baixiangmen lacks most is silver, those rudders don't have such a good life as you, and you still have money to arrange organs, it's good to have money to live."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "I don't know about history, we have a new nobleman, who is very rich, and he donated more than 100,000 yuan to the door." It was precisely because of that money that his subordinates were able to open a rudder in Nanzhao and expand their business to Nanzhao. ”

Bai Lilan knew more about this than him, but of course she didn't go into details, she just nodded quietly, and then asked, "Then how are you going to start the business of Nanzhao Kingdom?" Do you know the rulers of this realm? ”

"Please rest assured that before deciding to open a rudder here, Xiao Protector had already arranged everything! In this local yamen, there are our eyeliner, as well as the beggar gang, which also infiltrate our power. After the lower officials run a pawnshop, they can join the local business management, and naturally they can also broaden the information channels. Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and when the situation stabilizes, we will extend our influence to the surrounding areas. ”

This plan is very decent, there are no highlights at all, and it is completely copied from the previous development model of Baixiangmen. Whether it can also be successful in Nanzhao is debatable.

However, those were not within Baili Lan's consideration, she looked at the shopkeeper and said coldly, "Since I can meet you in the territory of Nanzhao, then you can help me investigate someone." ”

"Please say it."

"His surname is Shangguan, and his single name is a Yan character, and he is about Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Ling Shi Ke has a portrait of this person?"

After pondering carefully, Baili Lan asked, "Is there charcoal after burning?" ”

Charcoal and portraits, there is no connection at all, Baili Lan's jumping thinking made the shopkeeper stunned, and he wanted to ask what was the use, but after thinking of his moody personality, he closed his voice. I turned around and went out to look for it, and after a while, the shopkeeper held two pieces of black charcoal in his hands.

Under the suspicious gaze of the shopkeeper, Baili Lan took the charcoal and gently sketched it on a piece of white paper.

At first, the shopkeeper wondered what Baili Lan was doing, why he drew some charms on the paper? But as the lines on the paper became more and more, the shopkeeper's eyes gradually flashed with an incredible light.

At the end of the stroke, Baili Lan threw away the charcoal, then clapped her hands and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. I saw that on the paper, there was a sketch of a man's image, and looking at that demeanor, it was clearly Shangguan Yan.

"This, this...... What method did Ling Shi use, and why did the characters he drew so vividly? The shopkeeper stepped forward to take a closer look, carefully recalling it in his mind, and did not think of any technique that could make the figure seem to be alive.
