On the third day of going to Suzhou, the sun set and dusk, and the wind was down.

This is already the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not far ahead is Wang Jiangjing, and the side that crosses the river is out of the boundary of Zhejiang.

Although Dayue has always divided Jiangsu and Zhejiang into one province, due to the differences in history, geography and culture, the two places still cannot be fully integrated, and there is a buffer zone like the junction of the two provinces.

In addition to such a large government-run post here, there is also a small town nearby, which is the most remote place in the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan.

However, today's Shunfeng Post is unprecedentedly lively, dozens of carriages, hundreds of horses parked in the open space in front of the post station, this area is parked to the full, so that several post guards are busy just preparing forage for the horses for half an hour.

And the people in the post station are even more slaughtering chickens, sheep and fish, busy and happy, hot to send local dishes to the main hall like a stream, to the guests who have already placed dozens of tables in the hall.

Although this Shunfeng Post is a government-run post station, it is actually outside the business as usual, and the latter accounts for most of the weekday business.

But even so, it is extremely rare to see so many guests like today, especially when this group of guests is still together. However, after knowing that these officials and soldiers were escorting the more than 20 monks in the middle to Suzhou to attend the puja, the people serving at the post station were easily accepted.

After all, in Jiangnan, who doesn't know that the status of Buddhist monks is no lower than that of officials, and people are also willing to pay, so they naturally have to serve well.

So the dishes prepared in the various post stations were brought to each table one by one, and several jars of fine wine were also brought over. When many soldiers saw this, their eyes immediately lit up, and they scrambled to divide these jars of wine, but Sun Ning's table actually failed to grab a jar.

Seeing this, Sun Ning frowned slightly, and wanted to go over to discuss with Liang Wentong and ask for a jar of wine, after all, Xiao Qian is indispensable for good wine to accompany the meal. And along the way, she has drunk almost all the wine in the gourd.

But just as he moved, Xiao Qian suddenly held him down and shook her head at him.

"How?" Sun Ning paused with some surprise and asked, has his wife changed sex?

Xiao Qian smiled: "When you go out, safety comes first, so you don't drink." There are also these meals, everyone is also careful, and it is best to eat only white rice. ”

Although her words were soft, they still made their bodies tense suddenly: "There is a problem with this station?" ”

When he said this, Sun Ning couldn't believe it, this is an official-run post station, can it become a black shop? And he hit the idea on the head of such a large group of people, which is unreasonable.

Everyone else also looked left and right, with a vigilant look on their faces, but their eyes were still full of puzzlement. They didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Don't you notice that this inn is too clean?" Xiao Qian continued to whisper, "When I entered the door, I saw that even the road outside the gate had been newly swept and had been specially splashed with water, and the ground, tables, chairs and benches in this hall were almost not contaminated with any dust...... Is this reasonable? ”

As she spoke, she wiped her hand vigorously on the table, but failed to remove any dirt.

Sun Ning was reminded by her, and then looked at the entire hall, and also realized the unreasonableness.

Indeed, everything here is so clean and tidy that it doesn't look like a post house at all.

If the inn inn in a big city like Hangzhou has such an environment, it would be fine, but this is the junction of the two places, and most of the guests who stay and play on weekdays are ordinary people.

The only explanation is that they cleaned so carefully to wash away some of the previous traces!

After thinking about all this, Sun Ning became more and more cautious, and after looking at the post guards who kept coming in and out next to him, he saw that something was wrong.

These guys looked at them with a smile on their faces, and their hands and feet were nimble, but there was no humility in their eyes that they should have to serve people, and they walked steadily, so they should be from a practicing family.

If only one or two people were like this, but now the people in the entire post station are actually so skilled, there is a big problem.

"Mother...... Miss Xiao is really as wise as a torch......" Someone praised it sincerely, but they also saw some flaws one after another.

Xiao Qian pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just that I have more experience in walking the rivers and lakes than you." I came down from Kunlun before, and I had a lot of dealings with post stations all over the way. ”

Then she looked at her husband again: "What should I do?" Do you want to do it now? ”

Seeing that other people continued to eat and drink without the slightest notice, these soldiers couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts, for fear that everyone would be tricked and it would be difficult to clean up.

Sun Ning's gaze turned to Liang Wentong, who was also eating and drinking with his subordinates, and then he retracted his head and said, "No, let's take a look at ...... for the time being."

Without knowing the number and purpose of the other party, if you suddenly break your face at this time, the consequences may be more difficult to control. It's better to take another look and see what they do, and then see the tricks.

After all, if the other party really uses such a means as medicine, it means that his own strength will be like that, and Sun Ning is confident that he can cope with it with these dozens of people.

At that moment, they only ate rice and water that could not have been drugged as planned, and as for those dishes, they were disposed of indiscriminately, or poured on the ground, looking as if they had been eaten cleanly by everyone.

After eating like this, the sky was completely dark, and everyone naturally rested in this post station.

Although this Shunfeng post is not small, it is still a little reluctant to live in hundreds of people at once, so they can only vacate the best two courtyards for the monks to rest, and the officers and soldiers are twenty or thirty people crowded into one, and a small number of people are divided into a small number of people to keep vigil, although it is in the post station, they still have this sense of safety.

Sun Ning and these people were not treated preferentially, and they were only assigned two rooms, but they didn't have to keep vigil.

Soon, as the night deepened, the inside and outside of the inn, which had been quite lively before, fell silent, except for the footsteps of a few random officers and soldiers who walked around from time to time, only the stable was still a little loud.

And at this moment, the chubby post man who had always seemed to be submissive and considerate to serve everyone suddenly showed a strange smile.

I saw him open the back window, and the candle in his hand shook regularly into the darkness outside.
