"And it's next door to the inn, you don't have to go out, you can pass through directly from the side door, how close, I can also help you order food in advance, saving you the time to wait for food, isn't it much more convenient than going out to find a place to eat?"

Bihua knew that the second child in this shop would inevitably be suspected of selling melons, but she was really too lazy to find a place, and she was not familiar with life in this city, so it was okay to listen to him just for a meal.

As a dead house, food and housing are close to each other, which is of course the best choice.

"Okay, if you're tired, then you can help me order a few of your signature dishes here in advance, just one person, and a pot of good tea." ”

The shopkeeper has never seen such a cooperative guest, and the dignitaries and nobles he has met before are also rich, but how can he be so easy to talk to.

He immediately put down what he was doing, and moved to take Bihua through the side door.

As he said, the inn and the restaurant were connected, and it was not long before they reached the place to eat.

The restaurant opened by this inn looks really good, and now it is time for lunch, and the restaurant is full of people eating.

The first floor is the lobby, which is full of ordinary guests, because the location is not enough, some of these people are about to eat together, and some of them don't know each other.

It's lively, the aroma of the dishes is mixed with the aroma of wine, and the smell of it is mouth-watering.

There are a few guys in the store who are busy shuttling around to deliver food.

The building was full of people, talking, the sound of cups colliding, and the sound of laughter.

The shopkeeper greeted the familiar guy and led Bihua to take a seat.

Bihua is a private seat, and she has to pass through the crowd to the second floor.

When passing by the crowd, someone casually saw her and couldn't help but linger on her a few times.

Although Bihua wears a curtain fence and can't see her face clearly, her figure is tall and slender, with a Tsinghua temperament, a frost and snow posture, elegant and calm steps, and the curtain hides her face, adding a bit of mysterious bearing.

However, they only glanced at it a few times, then withdrew their gaze and did not make any movement.

The shopkeeper took Bihua to the second floor of the restaurant and found a good location near the window.

As soon as she was seated, he went downstairs and went to the back kitchen to have her food served.

Sitting idly and bored, Bihua waited while drinking tea while enjoying the scenery outside the window.

The private rooms are all independent private rooms, separated by partitions, which can play the role of blocking the view and sound.

However, the guest in the next seat had a very loud voice, and Bihua's ear power was extraordinary, and it was difficult for her to hear clearly.

"Hey, have you heard, how many demons have been arrested by the government?" said one of the people in the private room next door with an excited voice.

Bihua was pouring herself a cup of tea, and as soon as she took a sip, she heard this sentence.

A demon word poked at her curiosity, and Bihua listened with relish.

"How could I not have heard of it, this matter is in a uproar, and half of the people in Xin'an City know about it. The man next to him replied.

"Fake, right? I guess it's a rumor, it's just a few prisoners who want to be beheaded after the autumn. Another person chimed in.

My neighbor's brother-in-law is the head of the city prison, and my neighbor said that his brother-in-law said that the demons locked up in the cell still have hairy ears and hairy tails!"

"Hahahaha, what are you kidding, aren't the ones with long tails goblins, in this world, are there really goblins?"

"Don't you be your neighbor's brother-in-law who saw a few hairy mice in the prison and was dazzled by humans?"

"Don't believe it, you two! The government has issued a notice, and it is posted on the notice wall, if you don't believe it, go and see for yourself, there are demons written in black and white!"

"Really, don't fool us, I'll check it out when I'm free. ”

......

Bihua listened attentively for a few words, and the shopkeeper brought another handyman to serve her food.

Squirrel yellow croaker, Luohan cabbage sum, jade white jade soup, a plate of dim sum, a pearl white rice.

The dishes are well matched, and they are all signature dishes here, and the portions are not too wasted. The shopkeeper asked about Bihua's taste in advance, and it took a lot of thought to order this table of dishes.

They neatly arranged dishes for Bihua, but Bihua was not in a hurry to eat at this time.

"You two have worked hard, by the way, where is the notice wall in the city?"

The shopkeeper was clever, and when he heard her question, he understood what she wanted to know, and said with a smile:

"It's over there in Xicheng, the notice wall is connected to the prison beheading platform, and the prison is also in that area, are you interested in those demons who want to be beheaded?"

"Yes, when I first came to Sin'anseong, I heard about this for the first time, and I was a little curious. ”

"Eh, this thing is a bit unbelievable, like monsters, monsters, these are originally in the storybook, who has seen real demons and monsters. But this time, the government's notices clearly stated that the demons would be beheaded, and that those demons had harmed a lot of people. ”

The handyman next to him heard the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but say:

"Do you remember the events of the past few months, many people disappeared in those ten miles and eight towns around Xin'an City. There are still people posting about looking for people.,It's really strange what happened at that time.,So many people disappeared together.,It's not a monster who did it.,Can it still be an ordinary person?"

"It makes sense, in this world, there are no surprises, maybe there are really demons and monsters that will harm people. ”

"But in the past two or three years, it's not just us in Xin'ancheng. It seems that there are such absurd rumors in other places, and we still read them as stories at the time, do you remember?"

"Hey, if these rumors are true, in my opinion, the source should be the ...... in the capital."

It may be that this topic is indeed novel and interesting, and the shopkeeper and this handyman actually talked to each other endlessly.

However, this handyman was open-mouthed, and he almost said something he shouldn't have said, but the shopkeeper hurriedly covered his mouth and didn't let him continue.

"I'm sorry officer! I forgot to talk for a while, I hope you will forgive me, please eat, eat!"

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly at Bihua.

"It's okay, you just let him go on, I want to know too. ”

Bihua took out another ingot of silver from her sleeve, about a few taels, which was worth the salary of the shopkeeper for two and a half years.

—————

Under the eager eyes of the shopkeeper and the handyman, she slowly put the silver on the table and said, "If you speak well, this silver will be rewarded to you." ”

The shopkeeper was salivating, but he still asked Bihua vigilantly: "Where are you from, guest officer? Is there anyone in the family who is an official in the imperial court? There are some things you know, it's not easy to say, and you can't be punished!"

Bihua was amused by his cautious appearance, and said: "There is no one else here, it doesn't hurt to continue, I took the initiative to ask you to tell me, if I go to denounce you, won't I also be punished together?"

"Hahaha, it's this reason, the guest officer, I'll just say it?"

"Say it. ”
