After a while, a middle-aged man with a rich appearance and dressed as a housekeeper walked up to the group of lifu with his hands behind his back and raised his chin.

"The Hu family in Wicker Lane, load the goods and get into the car, three people."

Zhao Lin didn't speak, and the lifu didn't dare to move.

When the butler saw that no one was moving, he thought they were humbling to each other, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at the three people: "You, you, and your ......"

Zhao Lin has an outstanding physique and was also selected by the housekeeper.

Zhao Lin sat still and didn't move, turned his head to a handful of hair and said, "I'm not going, I'll find someone to replace me." ”

"Okay!" A handful of hairs hurriedly agreed.

The housekeeper tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little angry, "What kind of work are you doing here if you don't work?" ”

Zhao Lin ignored him, yawned loudly, and was so angry that the housekeeper stared.

In the next hour, several more employers came to recruit workers, but Zhao Lin was always indifferent.

The Riffs were surprised and didn't know what he was up to.

It wasn't until near noon that people from Chu Mansion came.

A man in his thirties in a satin robe approached from a distance, followed by two attendants.

"Who's that man?" Zhao Lin asked a handful of hair.

"The second housekeeper of the Chu Mansion." A pinch of hair replied.

Zhao Lin nodded, knowing in his heart.

There are three housekeepers in the Chu Mansion, the chief housekeeper is in charge of the inside, the second housekeeper is in charge of the outside, and there is a female housekeeper in charge of the inner house.

"The Chu family on Sajin Street buys, five cents, six people."

Before Steward Sun's family could come to him, the entourage behind him shouted loudly.

Zhao Lin was the first to stand up, dusted off his body with a gesture, and bowed.

According to the monitoring in the past few days, he knew that the second housekeeper liked to put on a show, so he deliberately showed a humble posture.

Sure enough, Steward Sun nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you come!" ”

I picked a few of them among the Lifu and went to the rice market together.

Walking on the road, Zhao Lin quietly reached into his arms, twisted out a ball of black medicinal powder, flicked his fingers, and hit Steward Sun's back.

A special fragrance slowly spreads.

The musk powder prepared by Ma Laohan has a long-lasting taste, as long as it stays on the clothes for a while, the smell will soak into the texture, even if he has changed his clothes or even taken a bath, Zhao Lin can still find out people.

Steward Sun was still unconscious, and walked slowly in all directions.

There are hundreds of people in Chu Mansion, who consume a lot of food every day, and they have to buy it every few days.

Steward Sun purchased a large amount of rice, grain, and meat, and Zhao Lin and a few laborers carried the things to the east gate of the Chu Mansion on their shoulders.

"Send things to the dining room, be quick with your hands and feet, and don't look around."

Steward Sun admonished and instructed everyone to move things inside.

"The second butler is back."

The leader of the guards guarding the side door beckoned.

When Zhao Lin went out in the morning, he had already returned to the sea against his luck, suppressing his strength back to the force realm, and he was not worried that his cultivation would be seen by others.

Laugh at......

When he staggered by, Zhao Lin popped out a ball of musk powder, which hit the hem of the guard leader's ribs.

Following Steward Sun, near the dining room on the east side of the main hall, Zhao Lin and the others moved the ingredients into the firewood room.

"You guys did a good job, it's wages!"

Steward Sun happily settled the account, and then said to an entourage: "Little Four, you send them out." ”

Zhao Lin glanced sideways at the dining room and saw that the four dining rooms were side by side, and the doors were written separately: upper, inner, outer, and smaller.

He had an idea, and secretly thought: "It's better to take it externally than internally, instead of taking medicine one by one, it's better to have a spoonful of stew!" ”

When the musk powder enters the stomach, it is slowly released with body fluids and can last for several months.

At the beginning, Shuntian Liang Diao Liu, who drilled the mountain leopard, swallowed a musk pill before he died, and was found by the smelling marten in the spring.

That's a good idea, but ...... Why are there so many dining rooms?

"Little brother, your Chu Mansion is really magnificent!"

When he walked out, Zhao Lin said in a flattering tone, deliberately adding an accent to "you".

When the entourage heard this, the corners of his mouth cracked unconsciously, and he said proudly: "That is, it is said that Nanfu is expensive in the west, and when it comes to Nancheng, the Chu family can also count it on one hand!" ”

Zhao Lin nodded and agreed: "That is, when I moved the goods just now, I saw that there were four dining rooms, and it seemed that there was something written up and down, left and right?" ”

When the entourage heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't talk nonsense, where is up and down, left and right, it is clearly up, inside, outside, and small." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Lin deliberately patted his head, "Little brother is not strange, we don't know much, we are wrong." ”

Then he made a serious expression on his face, "Trouble brother tell us, what does it mean to be upper, inside, outside, and small?" ”

"If we know, we will have a reason to brag when we go out, and we will not come to Chu Mansion in vain."

The entourage laughed when he heard this, "Actually, it's nothing, it's like this in big families......"

Then he explained.

Originally, the four dining rooms were: the upper dining room, the inner dining room, the outer dining room, and the small dining room.

The dining room is for the exclusive use of the Chu family.

The inner dining room is for the housekeeper, guard, dart master, master, Xixi and other people with a certain status.

The dining room is for the next person.

As for the small dining room, the stove fire is not extinguished all year round, so that when the old lady wants to eat, she can be on call without waiting.

"Oh, that's a long experience!"

Zhao Lin sighed, and several Lifu also looked abrupt.

……

In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high in the sky.

Zhao Lin was dressed in black and quietly came to the outside of the Chu Mansion.

Finding a place near no one, the spiral energy spurted out from the acupuncture hole, and the body slowly rose into the air.

The situation of the entire Chu Mansion is in full view.

There are a lot of guards in the mansion, among which there are many martial artists with two and three layers of power realm, and there are two qi realm masters in charge, all of whom were invited by the Chu family at a great price.

Zhao Lin released an ultrasonic wave to locate all the guards who were patrolling and hiding in the shadows.

I have to say that money can make ghosts grind, and the guards are quite conscientious, and they are still vigilant at this time, but none of them can imagine that there is someone above their heads.

He flew all the way to the top of the dining room, slowly descended, and walked into the "upper dining room" first.

The pots and pans were neatly placed on the stove, and Zhao Lin looked left and right, opening the lids on the utensils one by one.

When the lid of a large casserole is lifted, a fresh and mellow aroma hits the nose.

The casserole is stock, there is no monosodium glutamate in this era, and the chef has the ability to boil the soup with one hand, and the stir-fried vegetables and soup rely on it to improve the freshness.

"I'll give you some spice."

Zhao Lin smiled slightly, took out the musk powder from his arms, poured some into it, and casually copied the spoon and stirred it in it.

When you smell it again, the smell of the powder is diluted by the broth.

It seems to be a little more fragrant.

Then he went to the inner dining room and the small dining room, and did the same thing, adding musk powder to the braised soup and broth in it.

When passing by the dining room, Zhao Lin paused, thought about it, and didn't go in.

If the Chu family contacted Chu Liu, it was unlikely that they would send someone to go.

If you drug everyone in Chu Mansion, it will lead to too many tracking targets, which is not conducive to finding people.

When the matter was done, he took off and went back to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Lin didn't go out to collect work, but walked around the Chu Mansion, concentrating on listening to the movements inside.

The medicine has been ordered, it depends on whether they will eat it or not.

……

In this era, ordinary people have two meals a day, but the rich are like modern people, three meals a day, or even four or five meals.

At noon, the Chu family sat in the main hall and began to eat.

"Let's eat." Chu Hongtai picked up the chopsticks and said.

"Mother, drink soup."

Mrs. Chu had a bad mouth, and her eldest daughter-in-law personally served a bowl of soup.

"Okay."

Old Madam Chu scooped up the soup with a spoon and took a sip, wrinkles on her face unfolded, "This soup today...... It's so fragrant. ”

Chu Hongtai smiled when he heard this: "Really? I'll taste it too. ”

The servant who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to fill a bowl, Chu Hongtai took it and tasted it, nodded and said, "It's really good, come, you all taste it." ”

Perhaps it was the musk powder that played the finishing touch, and the family drank the soup to a good finish.

Chu Hongtai was in a happy mood, and specially called the cook over to praise him.

It made the cook inexplicable, frowning and thinking about how today's approach is different from the past.

Hearing this, Zhao Lin was sure in his heart.

As long as you drink this soup, then for yourself, these people are walking trackers, leaving a special smell wherever they go.

……

In the next two days, Zhao Lin observed the entry and exit of people at the main gate of Chu Mansion, but everyone who seemed to have some status had the smell of musk powder on their bodies.

From then on, Zhao Lin no longer monitored the Chu Mansion.

Instead, every morning, noon and evening, I walked around Qinghe County.

As long as someone goes out of town, it leaves a smell.

The rest of the time, he walked around the city, and if Chu Liu was bold, he would hide in Qinghe County, as long as he dared to contact the people of Chu Mansion, he could find him out.

Zhao Lin did this every day, one day, two days, three days......

At noon on the fourth day, I finally smelled two streams of musk outside the city.

Someone's out of town!

Zhao Lin perked up, followed the taste and traced the past, and in less than half an hour, he saw a train convoy moving in front of him from a distance.

There were more than two dozen cars in the convoy, and judging by the insignia of the carriages and the clothing of each person, there were at least five merchants.

"It turned out to be a caravan to transport goods to other places."

Zhao Lin muttered to himself.

In the past, merchants had to hire dart boards to transport goods to other places.

However, since the group of Diamond Mountain Leopards was exterminated, merchants do not have to worry about the goods being robbed, so as long as they do not go too far away, most of them form their own caravans, and each family has a few guards to share the risk.

This has affected the business of the dart game a lot.

The Chu family had two silk weaving workshops, spun raw silk from other places into silk, which was sold in Qinghe County and also shipped to other county seats.

Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment and decided to follow.

After observing the convoy for a while, he recognized that the leader of the Chu family's convoy was Chu Zelin, Chu Hongtai's fourth son, that is, Chu Liu's fourth uncle.

Chu Zelin once practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall, and cultivated to the qi realm, but he never entered the qi realm, and when he was older, he returned to the family and was responsible for external business.

There is also a leader named Geng Jin, who is a senior guard leader in the Chu Mansion, who has worked in the Chu family for more than ten years, and is a three-fold cultivator of the power realm.

Both of these people exuded the smell of musk powder, and there were a few guys, who were not in Zhao Lin's attention.

On the way, Zhao Lin listened to the conversation between Chu Zelin and Geng Jin, but just like in the Chu Mansion, the two never mentioned Chu Liu's name, as if they had put a curse.

Zhao Lin slandered in his heart, "The people of Chu Mansion are really careful enough not to even mention their names." But the more you are like this, the more I think there is something wrong with you! ”

Two days later, the convoy arrived in Lushan County, Chu Zelin and Geng Jin did not stop, unloaded the goods to their own shop, and went home directly.

This made Zhao Lin very disappointed, thinking to himself Is it really just transporting goods?

However, since he had already followed, there was no reason to give up halfway, so he patiently continued to follow the convoy and returned to Qinghe County.

Without saying a word all the way, the convoy stopped when it reached Baisha Town, which was more than 30 miles away from Qinghe County.

Chu Zelin and Geng Jin ate some food, and then bought a lot of food in the town: pastries, roast chicken, beef, sliced duck, soju......

"It's almost home, what are you doing with so much food?"

Zhao Lin frowned, a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't care too much.

Maybe the food here is delicious, and people will take this bite.

Soon, however, something more suspicious happened: the convoy left Baisha Town, but Geng Jin did not follow the convoy, but stayed alone.

"Could it be that Geng Jin's family is nearby, and he is buying things to visit his family?"

Zhao Lin took the initiative to help Geng Jin find a reason, but subconsciously hoped that this was not the case, and it was better to have other intentions.

After the convoy left, Geng Jin wandered around the town for a while before heading north with a package full of food.

To the north is Baektu Mountain, what is he doing over there with a guard leader?

Could it be that he is also from the mountains?

Zhao Lin was suspicious, and intuitively felt that things were not so simple, but he didn't follow up immediately.

Geng Jin has the smell of musk powder on his body, and if he doesn't lose it, he must not let the other party find out.

Otherwise, the grass will startle the snake, and the cooked duck will fly.

He calmed down and waited for a while, until Geng Jin's figure turned into a small black dot, and then got up and walked out of Baisha Town.

Geng Jin walked extremely carefully, looking behind him from time to time, and sometimes deliberately hiding somewhere in a detour to see if anyone was following.

If it weren't for Zhao Lin's keen sense of smell and ultra-distant hearing, he would probably have been exposed.

Geng Jin went all the way north until the sun was about to set, and came to a place called Sanmo Village.

Sammo Village is the closest village to Baektu Mountain, and further on...... There will be no one left.

Seeing Geng Jin continue to walk forward, Zhao Lin's heart was pounding, and he vaguely guessed who these things were given to.

With so much to eat, it can't be a picnic, right?

Entering the deep mountains, Geng Jin no longer hid his whereabouts, and walked faster and faster, speeding towards the hinterland of Baitou Mountain.

The sky is getting dark, and the mountain breeze is about to rise.

Although it is March, it is still cold in the mountains, and there is still snow in many places.

The deeper he walked into the Baektu Mountain, the more snow there was on the ground, and the forest became denser and denser.

At this time, Zhao Lin no longer had any doubts in his heart, Geng Jin was definitely going to find Chu Liu.

"Hidden in Mt. Baekdu, I chose a good place!"

In the shadows, Zhao Lin saw Geng Jin walking in front of a mountain range, and finally stopped.

Zhao Lin looked at the mountain peak by the moonlight, and was greatly surprised in his heart, here is the old mountain peak!
