On April 15, in the evening, there was not a single guest in the lobby of the Longxiang Inn, only Mr. Li, the account office in front of the counter, who was going to count the day's accounts.

At this time, Yan Tingfang, who was dressed as a fast catcher, held the saber hanging from her waist in one hand, swaggered into the Longxiang Inn, and found a decent place to sit down, poured a cup of tea on the table for a long time, and then drank it, without saying a word during the period.

Of course, Mr. Li saw it, but he didn't take the initiative to pay attention to Yan Tingfang. So Yan Tingfang asked Mr. Li, "Aren't you coming to greet me?"

Mr. Li didn't raise his head, and said, "I'm Mr. Bookkeeper, not the shopkeeper who runs the hall." ”

Yan Tingfang saw that Mr. Li had such an attitude, and said, "But you are the only one in this entire inn." ”

Mr. Li said, "So, we are closed, and the guest officer will come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, before Yan Tingfang could refute, he saw Xiao Dongfeng coming to the lobby from the backyard in a hurry, and saw a figure in an official uniform sitting with his back to him, and immediately went to greet him, and said, "Guest officer, I'm sorry, there is something in the backyard." ”

Yan Tingfang waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just patrolling the streets to take a look." ”

The last catcher stationed in Huangshi Town died for no reason, and Shanggu County did not send a new catcher to take over for some time.

Unexpectedly, Yan Tingfang took the initiative to apply to her cousin Yan Lu and came to Huangshi Town on an errand and became the only female catcher in the entire Shanggu County.

This is just one of the new things that has happened recently, though. In addition, there is also Zhang Wenqing, a newly appointed county magistrate in Shanggu County, who is only in his twenties. Of course, it is fresh enough to be a county magistrate at such an age, but what is even fresher is that this Zhang county magistrate was the last bookkeeper of Longxiang Inn.

After the last incident in Huangshi Town, Longxiang Inn is well-known in the entire Tianliang County, whether it is the chef with the Wufeng realm, or the money shopkeeper who has a good internal strength at a young age, they have all begun to hear about it in the rivers and lakes.

Now there is a county master from Longxiang Inn, which really makes people admire the hidden dragon and crouching tiger of Longxiang Inn.

If it weren't for another major event in Shanggu County, which would have washed away the fame of Longxiang Inn, the two might have become more well-known.

Of course, this major event refers to the fact that the thief Liu borrowed the Yanfu luminous cup and came to mock it in the street the next day.

Just as Yan Tingfang was speaking, a yellow-haired puppy walked through many obstacles with extremely brisk steps, came to the lobby from the makeshift kennel in the backyard, and began to circle around Xiaodong's ankles, barking a few times from time to time.

Xiao Dong was shocked, he clearly remembered that the shopkeeper had clearly said that if the puppy came into the lobby, he would throw it out of the Longxiang Inn. So Xiaodong hurriedly bent down to catch the puppy, but the puppy was too flexible to catch it.

Xiao Dong said helplessly, "Xiao Na, stop!"

Cortana is the name of the puppy, and it was taken by Qian Ziming himself.

Because Cortana is a female dog, Qian Ziming said this at the time, "Just call it Sylvanas." ”

Xiao Dong didn't understand why the shopkeeper wanted to give it a Western domain name, but Xiao Dong never dared to object to what Qian Ziming said, so he simplified the name to "Xiao Na".

Xiao Na, who was called by her name, was still restless, and was still jumping up and down and making noise back and forth, which made Xiao Dong panic.

Seeing this, Yan Tingfang smiled involuntarily, and then saw her come to Xiao Na with one step, and picked it up, and then handed it back to Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong hurriedly thanked Xiao Na and put Xiao Na back in the backyard and locked up.

Yan Tingfang sat back in her place and said to Mr. Li, "Your inn is lively, and you still have puppies. ”

Mr. Li didn't seem to hear what Yan Tingfang said, and he was still beating on the abacus.

Yan Tingfang was not angry, and continued to ask, "By the way, did you catch up with that Liu borrowed that day?"

Mr. Li suddenly stopped the abacus in his hand and was silent for a long time before he said, "No." ”

Yan Tingfang was not surprised by this answer, after all, it was a real Liu Borrow, not something that could be compared to an imposter like herself, so she said, "Even your light skills can't catch up with Liu Borrow, Liu Borrow is worthy of being the first thief in the world." ”

Mr. Li knew very well in his heart that if Yan Zhengming was not Long Yunhao, or Liu Borrow's uncle, Liu Borrow's would not appear the next day at all.

Because at that time, Mr. Li had already exposed the fact that the Liu Loan he was chasing the night before was fake to Yan Lu, Tong Shi and others, and made them believe it.

If Liu borrowed didn't show up the next day, Yan Lu and Tong Shi wouldn't have reported to the court at all and rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was the luminous cup stolen by the thief Liu Borrow.

Liu borrowed this time to take the initiative to take over the black cauldron made for him by his own uncle, just to preserve the last trace of dignity of Yan Zhengming.

Yan Tingfang saw that Mr. Li fell silent again, and asked again, "Mr. Li, are you ...... I didn't tell anyone about that night. ”

Of course, Yan Tingfang was referring to her pretending to be Liu's borrowing.

Mr. Li snorted coldly for some reason and said, "How do you hear about it on the rivers and lakes?"

Naturally, it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that it was the thief Liu who stole the world's most precious luminous cup.

Yan Tingfang read the anger from Mr. Li's tone, this was indeed Yan Tingfang's own mistake, and she actually doubted Mr. Li's trustworthiness.

Speaking of which, Xiao Dong had already returned to the lobby from the backyard.

At the same time, a man dressed in gray civilian clothes, armed with a saber and a hat on his head covering his face, walked in and sat down in a corner.

After Xiao Dong took a look at Yan Tingfang, he immediately went to the man in the past and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

The man gently placed the saber in his hand on the table, and lowered the hat with his hand, so that Xiaodong couldn't see his face at all, and then said, "Make me a new pot of tea first, and then prepare an ordinary guest room." ”

As he spoke, the man threw a silver ingot from his free other hand.

After Xiaodong took the money, he immediately arranged a guest room for the man from Mr. Li, and went to the back kitchen to boil water and make tea.

This man with strange behavior successfully attracted the attention of Yan Tingfang, the only female catcher in Yellowstone Town. I saw Yan Tingfang take the initiative to step forward, sit opposite the man, and asked, "What is the matter with this guest officer coming to this town from Tianjing?"

Yan Tingfang has also lived in Tianjing since she was a child, and her observation is sharp enough, so she can hear the Tianjing accent that this person is trying to hide.

The man saw Yan Tingfang's official uniform from under the lowered hat, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said, "Come to see the old man." ”

Yan Tingfang immediately became suspicious and asked, "Why do you see the old man...... Want to stay at the inn?"

The implication is that Yan Tingfang doesn't believe it. When you come to see the deceased, of course, you have to live in the deceased's house.

The man added, "The old man is here." ”
