Chapter 303: First Visit to Taishou Mansion
Su Lin asked for directions alone, and finally came to the gate of Jiuzhen Building, which was full of people coming and going, which was completely different from the cold and tense atmosphere in this lake city, and even the laughter of pushing glasses and changing lamps could be heard in the restaurant.
However, Su Lin also noticed that most of the people who came and went in this restaurant were officers and soldiers in military uniforms, and there were almost no ordinary people in sight.
And Su Lin just stopped in front of the restaurant, and he received a few ill-intentioned eyes from a few soldiers standing at the door, this look Su Lin was very familiar, the previous Wu'an City, and many years ago in the border capital, those soldiers were mostly like this.
In troubled times, soldiers are no different from bandits.
Su Lin ignored those people and walked straight into the restaurant, more similar eyes focused on Su Lin, and even the sound of laughter in the restaurant was a little smaller, and several officers and soldiers put down their wine bowls, stood up slowly, and slowly walked towards Su Lin.
"Is that Mr. Sue?" A amorous woman walked out from behind the counter with a swaying waist and hips, and she gave the officers and soldiers who were eager to try it a look, the officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly at Su Lin, and sat back at the table by herself.
"You are Liu Siniang?" Su Lin asked.
Liu Siniang smiled: "It's the concubine body, I already know it, and I'm ready for you."
After that, Liu Siniang got closer and sent a small card wrapped in cloth to Su Lin.
Su Lin nodded, swept the hall with his residual vision, and said softly: "Hucheng is like this, your business here is very good, and they are all officers and soldiers, they should pay the bill, right?"
"Well, the soldiers all give their concubines a little thin noodles." Liu Siniang said in a low voice.
"Really? That's good." Su Lin's words changed, "Why didn't the corpse platform outside Lake City report?"
"It's not a secret, a few days ago, somehow, the jade talisman suddenly disappeared, so we switched to using flying pigeons to pass the book, and as a result, we put several in succession and didn't receive a reply, and I was thinking about whether to send someone to Kyoto, but today I suddenly found the jade talisman, fortunately, I didn't miss the arrangement of the pavilion master." Liu Siniang rejoiced.
Su Lin thanked Liu Siniang, left the restaurant thoughtfully, and rushed to the Taishou Mansion.
Holding the imperial secret order in his hand, Su Lin was preoccupied, the jade talisman that Liu Siniang said was missing, and the carrier pigeon was useless, and anyone who heard it felt that something was wrong, obviously the Zhuxian Division was calculated, at least the branch division here in Lake City.
"Let's inform Sister Zhuyu about this after this." Su Lin thought to himself.
As for now, I still have to go to the Taishou Mansion and ask about the situation of those displaced people outside the city gate.
Those homeless people are obviously ordinary people, but they are doing evil things, the form is similar to casting spells, but they are useless, and they can't even count as self-harm, and there must be something strange in this.
While thinking about it, the majestic gate of the Taishou Mansion appeared in front of him, and it was not the family members who were guarding the gate, but two officers and soldiers, the eyes of the two were staring at Su Lin tightly, and when they saw the other party striding forward, their hands involuntarily pressed the handle of the knife on their waists.
"Do you recognize this? If you recognize it, get out of the way, and if you don't, go and call your master out, I have something to ask him!" Su Lin took out the token and shook it in front of the two, and immediately frightened the two.
Although the two gatekeepers knew the words, they didn't know the weight of the token, but they didn't dare to slack off, after all, the production process of this token was very sophisticated, and the lines were meticulously carved, and it was definitely not an item that a folk blacksmith could create.
It didn't take long for the housekeeper to come out with a smile on his face: "My lord, he has something to do, he has taken the second young master out of the city, it will probably take some time to come back, the old lady has already sent someone to arrange a guest room for you, please come with me."
Su Lin frowned dissatisfiedly, but still followed the other party into the mansion, no matter whether this housekeeper said the truth or not, he could use the material line vision to see anyone hiding in this mansion, but only if he was alone in the environment.
Moreover, although the material line vision has a perspective effect, the more material lines are superimposed, it will also affect the effect of perspective, and the fewer things that are blocked in the middle, the higher the clarity of perspective, so it must be walked in the house.
Walk into the door, through the lobby, is a courtyard, the size and size of the courtyard are very exaggerated, you can't see the courtyard wall at a glance, pavilions and pavilions, the water flows, the environment is elegant, the atmosphere is quiet.
Skirting the pond along the stone road, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with sinister eyebrows appeared in front of Su Lin, and the housekeeper in front of him hurriedly bowed to the other party and saluted: "Young Master, this is Lord Su, on behalf of Lord Yushi, I have come to visit my lord."
Master?
Hearing this title, Su Lin immediately remembered the words of the city guard, and immediately said, "You are Qianwen?"
Qianwen tilted his chin slightly, looking arrogant, and didn't take Su Lin in his eyes at all.
Seeing this, the housekeeper was anxious, and emphasized emphatically: "Master Su is the lord's honored guest!"
Hearing this, Qian Wencai bowed his hand very perfunctorily: "Oh, I've seen Master Su."
With that, Qianwen walked past Su Lin without looking back and walked towards the garden.
Su Lin looked at the back of the other party leaving, and the housekeeper beside him kept smiling and apologizing, he just raised his hand: "Take me around this mansion first, no problem, right?"
"Nature, nature! Please come with me."
……
Qianwen put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely outside the mansion, still reminiscing about Xu Jiu's not very flexible, but powerful tongue.
Thinking of Xu Jiu's expression of losing his dignity and giving up resistance at the end, Qianwen was so happy that he wanted to roar out loud.
As for the Lord Su just now, he naturally didn't pay attention to it, in his eyes, even if the other party's official rank was higher than that of his father, it was not worth mentioning, after all, he could be regarded as a legendary monk now.
Even if it is the so-called imperial history and Taiwei, no matter how high and powerful he is, he is only a mortal, how can he be on a par with him?
What's more, Qianwen thinks that his secular status is not inferior to those people in the slightest, although he is only the son of Taishou in name, but in fact, he has completely controlled the entire Lake City.
He had many eyes and ears in the city, and he had received news of the informant since Lord Nasu and the group of soldiers entered the city.
I heard that the leader of the team is the commander of Wu'an, and he is a person from the Mo Party, in addition to the Lord Su just now, there is also a stunning woman who looks like a fairy, and now lives in the Baotong Inn, and the surname Su is commensurate with brother and sister, but it seems that the surname is different.
Thinking of Su Lin, Qianwen suddenly felt unhappy, and sneered in his mouth, "Hmph! The person sent by the Imperial Doctor is such a thing that he dares to look at me with that kind of eyes, and he must be given a little color!"
In the past, he was cowardly and inferior, until he saw his master and stepped into the path of bliss, he didn't know what the real world was.
Looking at the princes and generals, but the clouds and smoke are fleeting, and the gold and silver treasures are like dung, which is not worth mentioning in front of the immortal cultivators.
The current Qianwen, even if the emperor comes, is not taken seriously.
