Not long after Su Zhanming left the inn, he received a secret report from his subordinates, saying that Su Xiuyun had changed into men's clothes and went out with Leng Li. Su Zhanming didn't react much after hearing the news, after all, he had already guessed that it would be like this.

After confirming that Leng Li had no problem following Su Xiuyun, he didn't care much and walked around the street. But what he saw was basically the same as Su Xiuyun, there were not many people in Baicheng on the street, and there were more in one night. They didn't feel right the day they first entered the city, but they didn't expect that now the changes are getting faster and faster.

In order to find out what was going on, Su Zhanming came to the door with money bags and goods to inquire one by one. The shopkeepers I met at the beginning were so secretive when they saw them that they didn't even let them say anything and hurriedly drove them away. After eating several closed soups in succession, Su Zhanming also didn't know what to do.

Just when they were at a loss, the owner of the next rice, flour, grain and oil shop gave them a chance to ask questions.

"Boss, may I ask if you need any spices, they are all home-grown top-quality spices." This time, Su Zhanming came out to pretend to be an ordinary merchant selling spices, and he was the kind of spice that was seasoned, so this kind of grain and oil store was the most suitable buyer.

The shop is located in a corner, and if it weren't for the necessities it sells, it is estimated that the shop in this location would not have to live long before closing. The shopkeeper is an elderly grandfather, who looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, this age is considered a high life in this era, and Su Zhanming does not dare to disrespect him.

The old man was basking in the sun with a pu fan at this time, and when he heard someone asking, he lazily lifted his eyelids, glanced at it and closed his eyes again, "Don't, don't want anything." ”

A simple sentence made Su Zhanming see the opportunity to ask, "This spice is not bad, why don't you take a look, boss?" ”

The old man may have met such an uninteresting person for the first time, so he simply put down the fan on his chest, raised his hand to cushion the back of his head and opened his eyes to look at the future life under the door. "In your later life, the old man said that he didn't want you to be so stubborn."

Hearing this, Su Zhanming couldn't help laughing, handed the spices to the guards behind him, and he took a few steps forward to squat down in front of the old man, "Isn't this because I have a fate with you, so I just came here to ask you something." ”

"It's such an idea, let's do it, hurry up and ask, and leave quickly after asking."

The old man's meaning was obvious, Su Zhanming didn't miss the opportunity to quickly ask all his recent questions, and then the old man glanced at him and the people behind him, and laughed inexplicably. "Housheng, your spice is not ordinary, and you are not an ordinary person."

There was something in the old man's words, but Su Zhanming understood it but didn't break it, but continued to wait for the old man to finish. After a while, the old man drank a cup of tea, and then slowly opened his mouth to tell all the recent things in Baicheng. After listening carefully and patiently to the old man's words, Su Zhanming's face became more and more solemn.

After the old man finished speaking, he stared at his face carefully, and when Su Zhanming came back to his senses, the old man withdrew his eyes. "Thank you for the old man's advice, I'll go to another house to see if I can do this business."

After that, Su Zhanming got up and saluted the old man slightly, and then put a bag of spices on the table and led the people away. But before he left the door, the old man stopped him, "Hou Sheng, I hope you can listen to what I say today, old man." If you can listen to it, then bring your spices to the door another day. ”

With that, the old man got up and put the spices at the door, and then lay back in the rocking chair with a fan and continued to close his eyes and bask in the sun. Su Zhanming looked at the old man's movements, and his eyes were firm. Without replying, Su Zhanming picked up the spices and put them away, and then led people straight to a certain place.

It was already noon when Su Xiuyun arrived at Taishou Mansion, and at this time, she changed back into her daughter's body and came to her father with Leng Li. When the people from the Taishou Mansion heard this, they went in to report it, and they invited her in after a while.

was taken to the front hall by his subordinates to sit, and Su Xiuyun looked at the layout of this Taishou Mansion. One thing to say, although this is not a good reputation among the people, the decoration of the home is not luxurious, and it can be seen that he should have been a good official who asked for the people's life before.

Su Xiuyun sat in the front hall drinking tea, and didn't wait for Taishou and Su Zhanming for a long time, but waited for a familiar figure. "Why are you here!"

It was the woman who had clashed with them that day, and the woman who had plotted a siege plan with outsiders that night. The woman was furious when she saw Su Xiuyun's eyes, because Su Xiuyun was the first person who dared to say that she was an aunt.

The woman was said to be happy, and the woman always remembered Su Xiuyun, the little girl. At this time, he didn't want to be able to see him here, and he was about to attack, but he was stopped in time by a voice behind him. "Liu'er, don't mess around!"

Hearing this, Su Xiuyun and the woman looked back together, and the first thing Su Xiuyun saw was Su Zhanming. There was also a man standing next to him, and he should be too guarded when he looked dressed. Baicheng Taishou surnamed Bai, and he was a native of Baicheng, and later the emperor sent him to garrison Baicheng after he was admitted to the official examination, which can be said to have served Baicheng all his life.

Bai Taishou and Su Zhanming came to the two of them together, the two sides sat down in the main seat, and Bai Taishou introduced the woman in front of him to Su Zhanming and Su Xiuyun. "Let the two of you laugh, this is the cheap Liu clan, last time I heard that she had a little unpleasant trouble with you, here someone Bai will compensate the two of you for her."

After saying that, he got up and was about to salute the two, but Su Zhanming hurriedly got up to stop him. However, Su Xiuyun relied on her young age to be unforgiving, and after Bai Taishou's words fell, she said gloomily: "Bai Taishou is a sensible person, that is, some aunts are really shameful to bully the young with their big ones because they are a little old." ”

was called aunt again, and the Liu family was about to get angry at that time, but was angrily reprimanded by Taishou to the shock master. Then Liu Shi stared at Bai Taishou in disbelief, "Okay, you Bai Jingde!" You dare to yell at me, don't you? ”

"Why didn't you see you so majestic when I was on me, and now you are majestic in front of outsiders! Okay, wait! ”

After that, Liu angrily left the three of them and twisted their waists and turned to leave, and Bai Taishou was a little embarrassed to apologize to the two of them when he saw this. "It really made the two of you laugh, I was spoiled by me, please don't be surprised if you offend the two!"

"Lord Bai is serious, it was the little girl who was ignorant and collided with Mrs., and asked the adult to compensate Mrs. on her behalf."

"Eh, it's not serious, it's not serious! Ling Yan is so lively and clever, and someone likes it tightly. Su Xiuyun didn't like this kind of mutual praise, so she put on an impatient look, "Daddy, my daughter is hungry, when are we going back to eat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Taishou hurriedly spoke up, "Oh, it's Bai someone's negligence, come on!" Let's get ready for lunch! ”
