Going downstairs with macaroni mushrooms, Lin Sen was surprised to see that Lao Xiao had not left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Lin, look at this matter. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his face was ugly, and his voice was very stiff: "I just want to do some business with you, brother, but it's so troublesomeβyou see otherwise, I have a good relationship with the housekeeper of the prefect's mansion, why don't I go with you?"
Lin Sen stopped, looked at his pleading gaze fixedly, and said politely after a slight sigh: "Don't dare to bother Master Xiao, I'll just go with Master Cui." β
When these words came out, Lao Xiao's face suddenly turned pale, and he wanted to say something in the air, but he saw that Lin Sen had already pulled Master Xiao away quickly.
Out of the inn, Master Cui led Lin Sen to a black-covered carriage at the door, and instructed the driver: "Go, go to the prefect's mansion." β
With a whip, the carriage ran up, and Lin Sen was silent for a moment and asked, "Master Cui, this matter is very serious?"
"Brother Lin saw Lao Xiao's reaction just now. Lao Cui raised his eyes and said: "To be honest, although we businessmen are rich and noble, we are compared with the farmers in the field, and in front of those big people, we are just small roles in cooking." β
He paused, sighed, his pale hair and the wrinkles on his face looked even older, "Those people who deal with Brother Lin are not easy to serve, we don't want to be their pawns, the only way is to be other people's pawns and get other people's protection." β
"It's not so easy to be a pawn for others! Now that the prefect has a chance here, it's good that I seized the opportunity like this, but if he didn't succeed like Lao Xiao, what kind of good treatment do you think he will receive?"
Lao Cui said something vague, but Lin Sen understood in seconds: This is the consequence of unsuccessful job hopping! Da Rimen learned that Lao Xiao wanted to show favor to others but was unsuccessful, how could he give him good fruits to eat?
After thinking about it, he asked again, "Then why don't you just buy my things like Master Xiao?"
Lao Cui shook his head and said: "Treating Brother Lin like that before, our firm can't stand you, how can we continue to do harm?
These words made Lin Sen nod, why did he refuse Lao Xiao and go with Lao Cui alone, it was because of Lao Cui! At the beginning, this master of Taihe Commercial Bank gave him a good feeling, and now his methods of acting are even more appreciated by him, not to mention that now only this person will tell the truth and bring him good news!
"Of course, Little Brother Lin doesn't have to think too well of me, I also have ideas. Lao Cui suddenly grinned, revealing a childlike mischievous smile: "I'll take you over now, the prefect will accept my favor, and you will also accept my favor, it's better than hiding that you get twice as much?"
Lin Sen was stunned, and without saying a word, he stretched out his palm and raised his thumb: "Master Cui's business is doing beautifully!"
Lao Cui raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly.
Ten minutes later, the prefect's mansion arrived, Lao Cui led Lin Sen up and knocked on the door, and after the next person came out, he said a few words, and was led to the mansion.
Unlike Baishui County, Li Yuan lives in the backyard of the county government, this is the private residence of the prefect, there is no county government hall and the like, it is directly a courtyard, which is matched with rockeries and flower beds, which is very elegant.
The subordinate led Lao Cui and Lin Sen to the living room, and then said to inform the housekeeper, but less than five minutes later, Lao Cui came back behind the two middle-aged men.
The two men were brightly dressed, and seemed to be made of extremely expensive silk and satin materials, and their imposing momentum was also extraordinary, the former had a square face and a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and the latter seemed to have a very bright gaze. It's just that the nose of the person behind is a little strange, and the bridge of the nose suddenly collapsed in the middle, as if someone had flattened it with a hammer.
Lin Sen was wondering who the butler of the two people was, and how they looked very pretentious, when Lao Cui beside him suddenly jumped up from the chair.
"Lord Prefect?" he bent down in a panic and saluted: "Xiaomin Cui Shi to meet Lord Prefect!"
The middle-aged man in front waved his hand and said, "Boss Cui of Taihe Commercial Bank?"
"Don't dare to be. Lao Cui Cheng bowed in fear: "The adults call the little people Lao Cui." β
The two of them were polite here, and the short-nosed middle-aged man who was a little further behind looked anxious, and stepped forward and said, "Do you have macaroni mushrooms?"
Lao Cui immediately said: "It's this Brother Lin who has it." β
Seeing that everyone was looking at it, Lin Sen didn't say much, and directly took out the box containing macaroni mushrooms. The short-nosed middle-aged man stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and turned around and left, and the prefect of Heyang did not stop when he saw this, said that he was waiting here, and followed him.
So in the blink of an eye, only Lin Sen and Lao Cui were left in the living room.
Lin Sen asked, "Master Cui, was that the prefect of Heyang just now?"
Lao Cui nodded: "Yes." That is now the prefect of Heyang, Sun Tingsun. β
Lin Sen asked again: "What about the one next to it? It doesn't look like an ordinary person." β
Lao Cui shook his head and said softly: "I don't know that person, I guess it's a friend of the prefect, well, most of them are also a big man in the officialdom." β
Lin Sen nodded thoughtfully.
The two of them waited for more than two hours, until the sun began to set, and an old man in gray in his fifties came over.
"Steward Sun. Lao Cui got up and bowed: "But the result is out." β
Steward Sun smiled and said, "Old Cui, you did a good job this time, the master is very happy, and said to write down your kindness." β
Lao Cui suddenly smiled: "I can't afford it, this is what I should do, but I dare not say that it is a kindness, the prefect is serious." β
"This is the Lynn man who brought the medicine. Steward Sun smiled again, his eyes stayed on Lin Sen's heavenly feather coat and the gold-patterned jade sword on his waist for a moment, and said in surprise: "You are a martial artist?"
Lin Sen nodded yes.
Steward Sun's expression sank: "Which sect is you?"
Lin Sen didn't tell Lao Xiao because he was afraid of the Great Rimen and didn't want to be exposed easily, but now that he was face-to-face, he naturally didn't need to hide it anymore, and simply said at the moment: "Tongtian Sect." β
There is no doubt that the people in the entire Heyang City, except for some people from the Great Rimen including Zhou Yue, will not know the name of Tongtian Sect, so Lin Sen has already prepared for the other party to ignore it blankly.
However, after being stunned for a moment, Steward Sun's expression relaxed, and he even regained his smile and said: "Young talents of Tongtian Sect, please come with me, my master's friend wants to see you and thank you in person." β
Naturally, there was nothing to say, Lin Sen immediately nodded and left the living room with him. Turning left and right, he arrived in front of a wing room in the backyard, and Steward Sun pushed the door in with a report.
There were three people in the room, one was lying on the curtain bed, blocked by the curtain, and only a faint figure could be seen, and the other two were Sun Ting, the prefect of Heyang, who had just been seen, and the short-nosed middle-aged man. At this time, the short-nosed man sat on the edge of the bed and talked softly to the person on the bed, while Sun Ting stood aside and said nothing.
Steward Sun stepped forward and whispered a few words in Sun Ting's ear, and Sun Ting looked over with a little surprise: "Little Brother Lin, I don't know which sect Tongtian Sect is, why have I never heard of it?"
Lin Sen smiled and arched his hand: "The mountain sect in the countryside, it's normal for Lord Sun not to know. β
Sun Ting nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Thank you Little Brother Lin for your help today, someone Sun has accepted your kindness." β
Lin Sen was just about to say that it was serious, when a female voice suddenly came from the bed.
"Lord Sun doesn't have to be like this, it should be the concubine who inherits the kindness of this little brother Lin. β
Lin Sen was stunned: Woman? Is it a woman who needs macaroni mushrooms to save her life?
The short-nosed man got up from his clothes and said, "That's right, this is to save my wife's life, and it should be counted on my Mo family." β
When Sun Ting heard this, he seemed to be a little unhappy: "Brother Mo, what does this mean? With the friendship between you and me, it is so clear that my sister-in-law is seriously ill in my family, how can I stay out of it?"
The short-nosed man said: "How can this be blamed on Brother Sun, my wife is sad that Li'er died and depressed, and her heart pulse was not good, so she suddenly had an emergency, Brother Sun doesn't have to mind." β
Sun Ting frowned and said: "No matter what, there is always a reason why I don't take care of it, Brother Mo doesn't need to say it anymore, and he just looks down on Sun's responsibility!"
These words were very ruthless, and the short-nosed man immediately had nothing to say, so he could only sigh and turn his head to look at Lin Sen, and said, "Little Brother Lin, I was worried about my wife just now, and I acted a little hastyly and rudely, so please don't be surprised." β
At this time, a female voice also came from the bed: "Little Brother Lin, thank you for sending good medicine this time and saving the life of the concubine, I will never forget this life-saving grace, if you have any needs, please say so, my grandson and I will try our best to meet them." β
Sun Ting also followed: "Yes, little brother Lin, please say, as long as it is within Heyang Mansion, Sun can still do something." β
Let the prefect of Heyang and his friends who are obviously not ordinary people say such things, the purpose of Lin Sen's trip is undoubtedly to complete eighty percent, I believe that as long as Sun Ting comes forward, he does not dare to say that he will let Da Rimen give up some bad ideas, at least in a short period of time, there should be no safety problems.
However, Lin Sen didn't think of this at this time, he just looked at the figure behind the curtain on the bed with a strange face, and then looked at the half-collapsed nose bridge of the short-nosed man, and asked in a strange tone.
"Excuse me, are you called Mo Wenhou? Your wife's name is Wang Yan?"
Sun Ting and the short-nosed man were stunned, and the female voice on the bed also exclaimed, "How do you know?"
Lin Sen blinked and said slowly, "This is what your daughter told me." β
