Qin Fan glanced at the calligraphy and painting and found that it was a poem: "A small town in the south of the Yangtze River, with green mountains and green waters, clear waters. A curtain of dreams, waking up alone."

This poem gave Qin Fan a hint of inspiration, so he picked up a brush and wrote this poem on rice paper:

After he finished writing this poem, he put the brush in the inkstone.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with tea and food.

"Two guest officers, the small shop is not well entertained, please take care of it, please use tea."

The shopkeeper smiled and put the tea and food in front of Qin Fan and Wang Ming.

"Thank you." Qin Fan said lightly.

Immediately, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of hot tea.

"This tea tastes pretty good." Qin Fan praised.

"Childe, this tea is good tea."

When Wang Ming heard this, he hurriedly said, "This is a special product of Jiangnan County's pre-rain dragon well."

"Oh?"

When Qin Fan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Before the rain, Longjing can be described as a fine product in the tea before the rain, with a market value of thousands of taels of gold, and some people with status will buy this kind of tea to soak in water and drink.

"No wonder I think it tastes sweet."

Qin Fan smiled and drank all the tea in the teacup.

Immediately, Qin Fan raised his head, glanced at the shopkeeper, and asked, "What other rich businessmen are there in this Jiangnan town?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned, and then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously said, "Childe, you... Are you looking for someone here?"

Looking at the shopkeeper's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Qin Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Not bad." Qin Fan nodded.

When the shopkeeper heard this, there was an embarrassed expression on his face, but he didn't refuse.

"Childe, in this Jiangnan town, I am indeed the only one who knows a sect called the Xiao family."

The shopkeeper said cautiously, "Don't hide it from the son, I also learned art under the Xiao family, and I also learned some swordsmanship and kung fu."

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Qin Fan nodded, he glanced at the shopkeeper and asked, "Then tell me, what is the Xiao family's sphere of influence?"

"This..."

The shopkeeper scratched his head, and then said, "Childe, do you have something to trouble the Xiao family?"

"No, it's not..."

Qin Fan shook his head and said lightly, "It's just that I'm a little curious about the power of this Xiao family."

"That son wants to find trouble with the Xiao family, just look for it, I'm not afraid."

The shopkeeper patted his chest with a look of righteous indignation, and then he said.

"Although the power of the Xiao family is considered a hegemon in our Jiangnan Town, in Qingjiang, the Xiao family does not have the ability to compete with the Qingzhou Hou Mansion."

"Qingzhou Hou?"

Hearing this title, Qin Fan's brows furrowed again.

"Childe, this Qingzhou Marquis is the biggest businessman in Qingzhou."

"The Hou of Qingzhou is an old fox who usually has a bad relationship with the Xiao family on the surface, but the Xiao family secretly formed an alliance with the Hou of Qingzhou."

Dian Xiaoer explained.

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Qin Fan's eyebrows raised slightly: "So, do you know the identity of this Qingzhou Marquis?"

"Of course."

Shopkeeper nodded and continued, "Although the Xiao family is powerful, the Hou of Qingzhou is not weak."

"The Hou of Qingzhou is the No. 1 chaebol in Qingzhou, with huge wealth, and it is said that in Jiangnan, he has incomparably strong capital."

"Therefore, in the territory of Jiangnan, no one dares to oppose the Xiao family, and no one is allowed to provoke the Xiao family."

"So in the eyes of the people of Wannian County, this Xiao family is an unshakable force."

Hearing the introduction of the shopkeeper, Qin Fan's heart was secretly surprised.

"I see

, it seems that the Xiao family in Jiangnan Town is really not to be underestimated."

Qin Fan sighed lightly, and then he spoke, "Since this is the case, then I will trouble you to help me handle this matter."

"No problem."

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed.

"Well, then you go and arrange a ferry for me, I'm going to Jiangnan."

Qin Fan commanded.

"Ferry?"

Hearing Qin Fan's order, the shopkeeper was stunned.

"Yes, I want to take a ferry to Skylake City in Jiangnan."

Qin Fan said.

"Skylake City is the most prosperous port in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the port closest to the ocean."

"The ferry is an exclusive merchant ship in the south of the Yangtze River, where it can go to various states, counties and regions, and the speed is very fast, and there are many large restaurants and liquor stores in Tianhu City."

"However, there is also a fee for the ferry." The shopkeeper replied.

"It's okay."

Hearing this, Qin Fan nodded.

Then, the shopkeeper led Qin Fan out of the restaurant.

At this time, the pedestrians on the street are still bustling with people coming and going, and it is clear that it has not dispersed.

"Little brother, this day Lake City is not far from Jiangnan Town, you can take a ferry, and you can reach it in about half a day."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and said, "When the time comes, you will directly enter Tianhu City, and then take a ferry from Tianhu City to Qingzhou Mansion City in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Hmm."

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Qin Fan nodded.

Then he walked into a remote street to rent a ferry.

But to his dismay, there was no sign of a ferry on either side of the street.

At this time, Qin Fan suddenly found that the passers-by around him, looking at him, were full of different colors.

"What's going on?" Qin Fan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Just then, a woman in a long white dress walked over.

The woman looks like she is in her thirties, with a plump figure, a goose egg face, delicate and smooth skin, and a pair of bright eyes, which looks very temperamental.

She wore a long dress embroidered with large peonies, which looked very graceful and luxurious.

She was followed by two maids, carrying food boxes in their hands.

"Girl, where is the ferry?"

The shopkeeper asked respectfully.

"Little second brother, the ferry has been booked by us."

The woman glanced at Qin Fan and said, "This son, if you want a ferry, you can go with us."

Qin Fan nodded.

Seeing this, the woman turned to the two maids beside her and ordered, "Bring his luggage aboard."

"Yes."

The two maids immediately agreed, and then stepped forward to carry their things.

Seeing this, Qin Fan didn't stop him, he looked around, and then asked, "Girl, which county are you from?"

"My name is Liu Wanqing, and I am from Qingzhou County."

"What about you? What county are you from?"

Liu Wanqing asked.

"I'm from Yunchuan County."

"We are on the same path, but it is a fate."

Liu Wanqing smiled, and then asked, "By the way, Childe, are you going to Jiangnan?"

"Yes."

Qin Fan nodded: "I have something urgent to go to Jiangnan."

"Childe, are you going to Jiangnan?"
