Chapter 108: The First Plaque Conference
The county town of Chuandu is obviously more magnificent than the subordinate county seat, and there are more than a dozen main roads in the city.
In each main road, except for the bustling crowd, the shops on both sides of the road, there is no end in sight.
Many noisy sounds echoed in my ears, and the vigorous vitality filled the county town.
Because someone answered, Su Qi'an and Ye Zhong came to the inn that had been booked very smoothly.
This inn is very large, with four or five floors, covering the integration of food, accommodation and entertainment, and it is also the number one in Chuandu County, and more importantly, the behind-the-scenes investors of this inn have a share of the Ye family.
Living in this kind of inn, Ye Chong is relatively at ease.
The room arranged by the two of them was naturally the best, on the fourth floor, a room near the street.
The advantage of this is that you can open the window and you can see everything under the street, and you can know if there is any wind or grass.
After Ye Chong checked into the inn, he did not go back to his room to rest, but came to Su Qi'an's room, and the two chatted.
After staying in the room for almost half an hour, just as Ye Zhong was about to say goodbye, the housekeeper of the Ye family walked in outside the door.
Ye Chong's face was displeased, he remembered that if he didn't have his permission, he shouldn't disturb Su Qi'an, but this steward didn't seem to know the rules very well.
The housekeeper of the Ye family knew that he was a little offended, and he felt a little bitter in his heart, but he didn't care about it so much, so he quickly explained.
"Young master, Mr. Su, please forgive me, this matter is a small loss of etiquette, but this time I came here because I want to inform Mr. Su."
"Outside the inn, there was a person who said that he was a subordinate of Mr. Su, and when he learned that Mr. had come to Chuandu County, he specially asked for an interview."
The explanation of the Ye family's steward made Ye Chong's unhappy face soothe slightly, and Su Qi'an, who was beside him, was a little surprised and curious.
"Oh? My subordinate, what is his name. ”
"He said that his name is Skinny Monkey, and as for the purpose of seeing Mr. Su, Mr. Su should know after the name is announced."
Su Qi'an was stunned at first, his eyes flashed, and he quickly said as if he had thought of something.
"Let him in, this man is mine."
Hearing Su Qi'an's words, the Ye family steward breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Ye Zhong looked at Su Qi'an with some curiosity and said, "Sir, who is this thin monkey?" ”
"Haha, I met this person in Lingbei, at the beginning..."
Then, Su Qi'an told Ye Zhong about how he met the thin monkey.
For the thin monkey, Su Qi'an didn't take it to heart at first, at that time, because Dongshan Village was surrounded by bandits from Dongzi Mountain, Su Qi'an hurriedly left after the county test.
And this thin monkey, known as Lingbei's know-it-all, Su Qi'an felt that this person still had some ability, and before leaving, he gave the thin monkey a sum of money, asking him to go to Chuandu County to develop if possible.
I believe that with his strength, not to mention the wind and water, but it should be no problem to eat well.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for half a year, as soon as he came to Chuandu County, this thin monkey came to the door.
The information is so well-informed, it is enough to explain the ability of the thin monkey.
After a while, under the leadership of the Ye family's steward, the thin monkey entered the room.
When he saw the familiar Su Qi'an in front of him, the thin monkey who had never been in shape, but his face was serious, and he knelt down to Su Qi'an.
"It really makes the thin monkey happy to see Mr. again, and the gentleman can rest assured that in Chuandu County, the thin monkey will definitely do his best to ensure the safety of Mr."
Looking at the very excited thin monkey, Su Qi'an was a little funny, and he got up and helped the thin monkey up.
Before he could speak, Ye Chong beside him said, "I don't think I need you to protect Mr. This matter, with the Ye family here, Mr. can't have an accident in Chuandu County." ”
Lingbei Ye family, of course the thin monkey knows, Ye Chong's words are not annoying to the thin monkey, he knows that the Lingbei Ye family has this strength, but he is not bad at the thin monkey.
"Young Master Ye's strength, the small one naturally knows, but in terms of the proficient news in Chuandu County, the small one still has some strength."
"Oh? Then tell me about what big things will happen in Chuandu County during this time? Ye Zhong asked.
It's not that he looks down on the thin monkey, but he doesn't believe that this frowning guy can know much about the county.
After all, the county seat is not as good as the county seat, and any wealthy nobleman in the county town, pulling out one at any time can make the local tyrants at the county level feel great pressure.
The closer you get to the upper floors, the more secret the information, the more difficult it is to detect.
He is the richest man at the county level, and in terms of the level of news, is he not as good as a person who is in the market.
Ye Chong's questioning, the thin monkey didn't care, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, showing a confident look, and then said eloquently.
"For example, why was the Lingbei Qin family targeted by the Lingdong Song family, and is there a greater force behind this?"
"After my investigation, the Qin family in Lingbei was targeted, mainly because the Qin family improved the process and made a beautiful silk article."
"This kind of silk clothes is not only thin and light, but the magic is that when worn on the body, it will have the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer.
Ye nodded his head, he was not surprised by this answer, because what the thin monkey said just now, as early as just now, Su Qi'an told him his own inference.
is the same as what the thin monkey said, which can only show that the thin monkey has some skills, but it is almost impossible for Ye Zhong to look high.
"So, against the forces behind the Qin family, who else is there besides the Wei family? Could it be that what you want to say is that the forces behind this are not the Wei family, or is there a larger wealthy family involved? ”
The thin monkey smiled and nodded, "Ye Shao is right, the Wei family is not the mastermind, he is just a chess piece, and behind him, there is an even more terrifying power." ”
"Stop, stop, Thin Monkey I know your ability, but just because the Qin family made this magical silk clothes, they were targeted by the wealthy clan who was even more terrifying than the Wei family?"
"This is absolutely impossible, at that level, the wealthy family is already a family, and the power of the family is unimaginable, and it is impossible to attack a county-level merchant family."
The thin monkey's speculation made Ye Chong shake his head again and again, not that he didn't trust the thin monkey, but the more he said it, the more outrageous it became.
The level of the family is already a state pastor and a national prince, if you really want to deal with a county-level businessman's family, you can pinch it to death with a casual finger, why bother so hard, and it is necessary.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed beside him, he used to have this kind of thought, but after thinking about it, Ye Zhong was right.
He looked up at Skinny Monkey and asked, "Skinny Monkey, is this news your guess, or have you discovered something?" ”
"Sir, to be honest, this matter is indeed my speculation so far, but as long as I am given time, the thin monkey will definitely be able to find out who is behind the Qin family and Mr."
The thin monkey looked confident, Su Qi'an believed him, the ability of the thin monkey was really here.
Although Su Qi'an didn't see how the thin monkey lived in Chuandu County for half a year, just looking at his mental head compared with half a year ago, it was enough for Su Qi'an to feel the transformation of the thin monkey.
It feels like a person who meets Bole and instantly exerts his potential value.
Su Qi'an patted the thin monkey on the shoulder and said, "Well, even if you do it, if you need anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely support you fully." ”
When Su Qi'an said this, the thin monkey's eyes instantly turned red, and he looked at Su Qi'an for a long time.
After a long time, the thin monkey clenched his fists and said sincerely to Su Qi'an, "Thank you, sir, the thin monkey will definitely live up to Mr.'s expectations." ”
"Since Mr. has said so, this matter is also my one, and Ben Shao may not be able to help with other favors, but in terms of money, just ask."
"Then here, the thin monkey thanks Ye Shao."
"Little things, little things." Ye Zhong waved his hand casually.
During the chat, the thin monkey seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, sir, you came to Chuandu County at this time for the top brand conference in half a month." ”
Su Qi'an was stunned, and in his mind, a shadow appeared.
Lu Xiaowan, the head brand of the Spring Breeze Academy in Lingbei County, was brought back to the Spring Breeze Courtyard in Sichuan County overnight because Su Qi'an gave her a poem in Lingbei County, which made her reputation rise.
In fact, Lu Xiaowan is also a hard-working person, and she was born in a wealthy family, but because she offended the Wei family, her family was ruined, and she was sold to a brothel and became an official prostitute.
Although she is famous because of Su Qi'an's poems, it can't change her status as an official prostitute.
Those who admire Lu Xiaowan's beauty and say that the sons and brothers who redeem Lu Xiaowan's body are all greedy for Lu Xiaowan's body, and they really let them pay for it, but it's just a joke.
In Daliang, even if the official prostitutes are talented and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, their status is essentially very low, similar to that of untouchable slaves.
The so-called talented and beautiful women are just brothels that in order to create a top brand and increase popularity, they specially invite some poor literati to spend money on shows.
Because of Su Qi'an's pity, he specially gave a poem, who knew that Lu Xiaowan would become popular all of a sudden.
Su Qi'an was still very sympathetic to Lu Xiaowan's experience, and he asked.
"Skinny Monkey, you said the top brand conference, let's talk about it specifically."
"This top card conference is also a big event in Chuandu County, but several famous brothels in Chuandu County got together to select this year's top brand."
"Like Zuichun Lou and Yihongfang, they are also famous in Chuandu County, and they are not inferior to Chunfeng Courtyard at all, and it is said that these two have semicolons in Kyoto."
"This year's top card conference, the competition is very fierce, these two have let go, they are bound to compete for this top card, and the conference is held, the wealthy families of Chuandu County will come to cheer, even the county guard will come forward, not to mention how lively the scene is."
Su Qi'an understood and understood the significance of this top card conference, without too many other entertainment activities, the top card conference became one of the few entertainment activities.
Su Qi'an was silent for a while and asked, "Can you go to the Spring Breeze Courtyard now?" ”
The thin monkey said, "Sir, the little one has a sentence that should not be said, I know that Mr. has a good impression of Miss Xiaowan and wants to redeem Miss Xiaowan, but the little one still advises Mr. not to be too anxious, at this time to go to the Spring Breeze Courtyard, there will definitely be many pairs of eyes staring, and when the time comes, someone will definitely make a hindrance, and Mr. will definitely be slaughtered and become a big wrongdoer." ”
As soon as these words came out, the tea in Su Qi'an's mouth squirted out, with a speechless look.
