The servants of the county government who followed Shi Cheng and the others did not enter the Huibao Pavilion together, but waited by the carriage outside.

A martial artist guarding the door saw Shi Cheng and the three of them coming, and hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "Welcome, I don't know if the three sons are going to the store or selling items to the pavilion?" ”

"I'm here for someone." Shi Cheng replied, "I wonder if there is a person named Xu Jincheng here?" ”

"You're looking for Deacon Xu?" The janitor asked.

Shi Cheng nodded, "Is he here today?" ”

"Yes, yes. The three sons come with me, please wait in the hall first, and let me go down and make an announcement. ”

"Then there will be labor." Shi Cheng arched his hand, and the three of them followed the gatekeeper into the Huibao Pavilion.

The hall of Huibao Pavilion is not particularly spacious, but it is quite warmly furnished, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. Wu Neng took a deep breath, only to feel refreshed, and the whole person was much more energetic.

The gatekeeper had already gone upstairs to report that there was only one maid in the hall who greeted guests except for Shi Cheng and the three of them.

Shi Cheng took a sip of the fragrant tea sent by the maid, and said comfortably: "Huibao Pavilion is worthy of the Luo family's industry, even if it is a branch pavilion far away in the Southern Wilderness, the hall will use moon pine, starry flowers, and cane supplemented by incense made of tree sap to entertain guests. ”

"Childe has won the prize." The maid said with a smile, but a trace of curiosity and surprise flashed in her eyes, "It seems that Childe is a person who is proficient in medical science." ”

"I understand a little bit." Shi Cheng was humble for a moment, and then continued to drink tea.

Wu Neng leaned over to Shi Cheng and asked in a low voice, "Old Shi, aren't these things very expensive?" ”

"What do you say?" Shi Cheng asked rhetorically, and then continued, "However, the Luo family is the top Dan Dao family in the world, and I heard that there are also many spiritual fields that grow herbs inside and outside Linyue City, so these things are not uncommon for them. ”

"Why is the gap between monks and monks so big?" Wu Neng glanced at his shriveled purse and sighed in his heart.

Soon, footsteps were heard at the stairs leading to the second floor, and Shi Cheng turned his head to see that it was a young man with some bookish anger walking down. The young man walked up to the three of them, bowed down and performed the etiquette of the Western Desert Kingdom, and asked, "May I ask if this Chita prince without a mask is Brother Shi?" ”

Shi Cheng was slightly surprised, he stood up, saluted back and said, "It's down there, is Brother Tai Deacon Xu Jincheng Xu?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Jincheng said with a smile, he seemed to see Shi Cheng's surprise, so he explained, "Although I am a deacon, I still have little experience and no reputation, so usually no one outside will come to me." My cousin Zhao Ping told me that a Danshi surnamed Shi would come to me recently, so I think you should be Brother Shi. ”

Shi Cheng also smiled and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu should be able to serve as a deacon in the branch of Huibao Pavilion before he is established, and his future will be limitless." ”

"Then Brother Chengshi Jiyan." Xu Jincheng turned sideways and made a gesture of please, "This is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs and talk." ”

After Wu Neng and Tie Mian introduced themselves, everyone went up to the second floor together and came to a very simple room. After Xu Jincheng beckoned the three of them to sit down, he said, "Brother Shi, my cousin has already told me about what you encountered in Yunqiu City. ”

"Then you should know about the Lu Clan." Shi Cheng asked.

Xu Jincheng nodded and said, "Seriously, if it weren't for my cousin swearing in front of me so seriously, I really couldn't believe that there were still those demons in this world." ”

Shi Cheng paid attention to Xu Jincheng's expression, and shook his head secretly in his heart, he knew that in fact, Xu Jincheng still didn't really take Zhao Ping's warning to heart, and he was at most skeptical about the return of the Lu clan, perhaps because Xu Jincheng had a very good relationship with Zhao Ping on weekdays, so he was willing to meet him Shi Cheng.

"Shi can understand that the days of peace are too long, and I'm afraid not many people are willing to live a tense life every day."

Xu Jincheng sighed: "There are some things that the younger brother has to say, if Brother Shi wants the people of the world to believe that the Lu clan has returned, he must put the empirical evidence in front of the people of the world." Otherwise, it would be impossible for the nations of the world to go to great lengths to search the nest of the Lu people for an unsubstantiated speculation. ”

Shi Cheng knew very well that Xu Jincheng was still a little hesitant in his heart, so he said: "Shi will do his best, I believe that the day when they pull out their tails is not far away." It's just that Shi is not familiar with life in Wangcheng at the moment, and he still needs to ask Brother Xu for advice on many things. ”

"Brother Shi, please speak."

"I wonder if Brother Xu knows about the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce?" Shi Cheng asked.

"Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Jincheng asked in surprise, "Why did Brother Shi ask about them?" ”

"That's right." Wu Neng replied: "In the process of investigating the Lu Clan, we found out that the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce may have a secret connection with the Lu Clan. ”

"This ......," Xu Jincheng's face was full of shock, "This can't be, right?" Brother Shi, Wu Gongzi, Tie Gongzi, do you have real evidence? ”

Shi Cheng shook his head, and then said, "It is precisely because there is none, so I must personally come here to investigate and see if they really have the behavior of fornicating with the Lu clan." ”

Xu Jincheng shook his head lightly, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Brother Shi, I will inform my cousin of your guess, but I have something to say in the front, in the matter of tracking down the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, I will advise my cousin to do what he can." ”

"Is their energy great?" Iron Mask asked suddenly.

"As the property of the Luo family, Huibao Pavilion will receive some preferential treatment no matter which country it is in, but our branch pavilion in the Western Desert King City does not dare to be too big in front of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce."

Shi Cheng frowned, "I had heard of the name of this chamber of commerce before I came to the Southern Wilderness, but if you want to talk about strength, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is the first chamber of commerce in the Western Desert Country, right?" Could Brother Xu be exaggerating? ”

"Brother Shi, this is not the younger brother's prevarication. In fact, as long as they are doing business in the Western Desert Country, they will not offend the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce. A Western Desert businessman may have the courage to offend the Zhu family, but they will never have the courage to offend President Huang of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce. Xu Jincheng said a little helplessly: "These things are just unknown to outsiders, if Brother Shi is a native of the Western Desert businessman, then he must be able to understand the meaning of the younger brother's words." ”

Shi Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Xu, could it be that this camel bell chamber of commerce has more shady means?" ”

"I won't hide it from Brother Shi." Xu Jincheng replied: "The junior brother has been working in the Huibao Pavilion for eight years, and he usually has a lot of dealings with the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce. They gave me the impression that they were like icebergs in the North Sea, much bigger than they were exposed under the water. What's even more strange is that when everyone really notices this chamber of commerce, it has become a behemoth, and no one in the Western Desert Country can even tell how that President Huang got started, let alone what kind of experience that President Huang had before he made his career. ”

Wu Neng thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, this camel bell chamber of commerce gives people the feeling that it has suddenly grown overnight?" ”

"What Wu Gongzi said is exact." Xu Jincheng said, "There used to be a chamber of commerce in the Western Desert Country that was mainly engaged in the wool business, called Qingyuan Cloth Village, which was once a big chamber of commerce that could rank among the top three in the country, but because of the offense against President Huang, it actually attracted the bullet seal of the princes of the Taiwan Academy, and even many officials who had something to do with Qingyuan Cloth Village turned against the water. In the end, the king ordered that Qingyuan Buzhuang was thoroughly investigated, and even the Tiqi Division of Great Wei intervened in the search, and all the stains of Chen Sesame and rotten grain were turned out. And then there was no then, Qingyuan Cloth Village collapsed, and Hengjin Cloth Village, which was originally overwhelmed by Qingyuan Cloth Village, returned to the first place in this industry. ”

Wu Neng was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... How is this possible, what kind of person is this Huang Yuan? There is such a big backer behind it. ”

"When it comes to President Huang, it's even more strange because no one knows what that President Huang really looks like." Xu Jincheng said.

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the three people all invariably turned into huge waves, and Shi Cheng hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" As the leader of such a huge chamber of commerce, not to mention how many things need to be asked every day, just socializing with all kinds of people will inevitably show his face, how can it be that no one has seen his true face all this time? ”

"I'm weird too." Xu Jincheng shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, it's not that President Huang hasn't appeared in front of everyone, otherwise I would have to wonder if Huang Yuan really exists." Chairman Huang actually appeared at some banquets, and some people saw him visit some officials, but every time he covered himself tightly. The explanation of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce to the outside world is that President Huang was seriously ill when he was a child, so he has a lot of scars on his face, and in order not to arouse the disgust of others, he has been wearing robes and masks outside. ”

Wu Neng questioned: "Even so, it's not polite to meet guests with a mask. ”

"That being said...... Belch...... Not necessarily. Speaking of this, Xu Jincheng couldn't help but glance at Tie Mian secretly, and then continued, "All in all, the strange thing is that none of the officials and wealthy families who have been visited by Chairman Huang feel uncomfortable about this, and it is said that every meeting is a pleasure for both guests and hosts. It's a pity that Xu is only a junior and didn't have the opportunity to meet Chairman Huang, otherwise I would really like to see President Huang's methods. ”

"Deacon Xu, dare to ask if this Huangyuan has a place to live in the royal city?" Iron Mask asked.

"This ...... I haven't heard of it. Xu Jincheng shook his head.

Shi Cheng and Wu Neng asked in unison, "Does he actually have no place to live in the royal city?" ”

Xu Jincheng still shook his head, "I really haven't heard that President Huang has purchased a private house in Wangcheng, and I heard that he has always been at the headquarters of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce when he meets others, and he may have lived in the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Shi Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said: "Thank you Brother Xu for telling me about this news, Shi Cheng has a reluctant request, and he doesn't need Brother Xu himself to take risks, I just hope that Brother Xu can help me pay attention to the news related to the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, if Brother Xu finds anything suspicious, please convey the news to me in time." ”

"No problem." Xu Jincheng said as he took out a name card from the bookcase next to him. After handing over the name card to Shi Cheng, he said, "This name card has my home address on it, if Brother Shi wants to write to me, it is more convenient to send it to my home." In addition, Brother Shi, please leave the address of your current residence, and if I find something important, I will send someone to contact Brother Shi. ”

"Thank you very much." Shi Cheng also asked for the specific address of the house before leaving the Shengde Mansion, and he wrote the address to Xu Jincheng after answering.

After learning that Zhao Ping had no new message, Shi Cheng got up and said goodbye, preparing to leave.

Xu Jincheng sent the three of them downstairs all the way, and when he was about to go out, Wu Neng suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, Lao Shi, don't you want to compensate me?" Don't be on your bills! ”

"Uh......" Shi Cheng smiled a little awkwardly, "I don't have a good memory when I think about things." Rest assured, I keep my word. ”
