There are no secret agents in Wuchuan Town,

Therefore, Yang Dong only arranged the task of secretly searching, and continued to move towards Water Town.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any unusual conditions, and finally arrived at Watertown before dark.

Compared to Wuchuan Town, the scale of Water Town is significantly smaller.

Because it is surrounded by water, it was named Water Town.

And in the entire water town, there is only one inn.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a goatee, and when he saw the arrival of Yang Dong and his party, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"How many distinguished guests, but you want to stay in the hotel?"

Yu Xiaoyu took out a few grains of broken silver from his arms and slapped them on the table.

"Arrange the best room in your inn!"

"Gotcha!"

The shopkeeper put away the silver with a smile, and immediately arranged for the only junior in the store to lead Yang Dong and them into the guest room.

Yang Dong originally thought that the little young woman would probably not come over to practice tonight.

However, to his surprise, the little young woman and Yao Jia squeezed into his room again tonight. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in tonight's practice. It's just that Yang Dong's bed was occupied, so he had to rest on the chair.

The stars are moving, and the night passes silently.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Dong opened his eyes.

He yawned tiredly and washed his face with cold water, which made him feel much more comfortable.

After breakfast, he took Yu Xiaoyu and left the inn.

In the water town, next to a tea stall,

Yang Dong stared at Yu Xiaoyu and said slowly:

"Now that we've arrived in Water Town, what do you think about finding this Lord Xu?"

Yu Xiaoyu knew that Yang Dong was testing himself, so he told all the plans he had thought of before.

"Master, I don't think it's appropriate for us to act in a high-profile manner when we are in Water Town. It's best to secretly investigate Lord Xu's whereabouts. ”

At this, a smug look appeared on his face.

"According to the laws of our Great Zhou, there are no official positions in the town. Therefore, most of the stewards of the whole town are local governors. But if we go directly to the chief, I'm afraid it will be a little eye-catching. ”

"So...... I think we can find the former lieutenant chief. ”

Yang Dong frowned when he heard this.

Because official positions such as the lieutenant chief and the village chief are not rewarded by the imperial court, but are held by local people with high moral integrity.

Therefore, the stability of this position is extremely high, and it can basically be said that you can do it for a lifetime.

Normally, the grass on the grave of the predecessor is three feet high......

Seeing that Yang Dong's face was full of doubts, Yu Xiaoyu took out a few pieces of letter paper from his arms with great care, and said mysteriously:

"Master, in my father's army, there are soldiers from Shuizhen who are from his hometown. I asked someone to inquire in every possible way, and I found out that the former lieutenant governor of this water town did not voluntarily abdicate after dying of old age, but was discovered because he was greedy for silver and was removed from the position of lieutenant chief. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

He suddenly found that he had chosen the right choice to bring Yu Xiaoyu out this time.

"So you're going to start with this former lieutenant chief?"

"Exactly!"

Yu Xiaoyu said, pointed to a dilapidated deep alley not far away, and said:

"Master doesn't know, that is the hook fence in this water town. And this lieutenant is a frequent visitor here. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw an old man in ragged clothes and a scruffy beard, kicked out.

"The surname Liu, get out of the way!"

"If you don't have any money, you still want to come and prostitute for nothing? Where is this kind of good thing in the world! ”

"Bastard!"

Lao Liu blew his beard angrily and glared, picked up the long stick in his hand, and poked it on the ground.

"Yingzi, how do you talk to the old man?"

"Although the old man is not the elder, he is also your parent!"

"The elders come to take care of your business, and they can afford you. Get out of the way of the old man, or ......"

Before the words fell, a basin of hot foot-washing water splashed out of it, and suddenly poured Lao Liu's head into a soup chicken.

The door slammed shut, and no matter how he scolded, no one paid attention.

Lao Liu scolded for a while, probably because he felt tired from his throat, so he picked up his crutches and walked outside. But his mouth was still swearing.

"Looks like it's supposed to be him!"

Yu Xiaoyu smiled, cast a smug look at Yang Dong, and immediately stepped forward.

"This old man, can you talk a few words?"

Seeing someone post it, Lao Liu was stunned at first, and then hurriedly waved his hand, his face full of irritability.

"Let's go!"

"Where did you come from, don't disturb the old man to do business!"

After speaking, Lao Liu Tou changed direction and strode away.

What are you kidding, today is the day when Tofu Shih Tzu comes out. If you're late, you won't be in the front row!

"Eh, don't go!"

Yu Xiaoyu's expression was slightly stunned, and he followed again and stopped in front of Lao Liu.

"I have a few words to ask you, and if you answer me honestly, the silver will be yours."

As he spoke, he pulled out a few grains of silver from his pocket.

When Old Liu Tou saw the silver, his eyes immediately flashed with greed. He looked Yu Xiaoyu up and down, and found that this kid was dressed extraordinarily, so he rolled his eyes, turned his head again, and left.

"Boy, I want to delay the old man's business with such a little silver, let's dream!"

"Hurry up, get out of the way of the old man!"

Seeing that he was about to leave again, Yu Xiaoyu was also a little anxious.

He originally wanted to show himself well in front of Yang Dong. But this old Liu Tou is really completely uncooperative!

"Wait, don't you just want silver!"

"I have a tael of silver here, as long as you can answer my question, it's yours!"

As soon as Lao Liu heard a tael of silver, his heart was full of joy! But on the surface, he waved his hand impatiently:

"At least three taels of silver, otherwise don't talk about it!"

"Three or two is three or two!"

Yu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and took out a few more grains of broken silver.

Seeing this, Lao Liu Tou stopped moving forward. He raised his hand and stepped forward, wanting to snatch the broken silver, but where could Yu Xiaoyu let him succeed, his arm shrank back, and then he seemed to smile and said:

"Old Liu, only if you answer my question, the silver is yours."

When Lao Liu Tou heard this, he couldn't help frowning,

"You won't give me any money, what if I answer your question and you run away?"

"In this case, you give me a grain of silver as a deposit, and I will answer your question honestly."

Yu Xiaoyu just groaned slightly, and then nodded lightly.

He casually threw a piece of broken silver in front of Lao Liu, and asked in a casual tone:

"I heard that a few years ago, a senior official in the capital returned to his hometown. You know what? ”
