Chapter 152: Jinling Mansion

Not far away, there was a carriage waiting here, and the driver was a wooden man.

Liang Zi explained softly: "He is the raven of our Tingfeng Tower, and the cover identity of the concubine in Jinling Mansion is the boss of Liufeng Pavilion, and he has been in business for more than ten years. ”

Li Xuandu knew in his heart that Liufeng Pavilion was a relatively famous courtyard in Jinling Mansion, although it was not as good as the top ones, but it was one of the most top-notch in the second-rate, not high or low, not too eye-catching, and barely stepped into the threshold of "Qinggui", which could stand up and save a lot of trouble. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the Liufeng Pavilion, Liang Zi will have a lot of room for maneuver in his actions.

As for why Liang Zi told Li Xuandu about this, the reason is also very simple, Tingfeng Lou is a businessman, not a spy, and concealing his identity is just to avoid some unnecessary trouble, but he doesn't really want to hide himself from others, and the magnates of Jinling Mansion must know Liang Zi's identity. And to do business to pay attention to a trickle, Li Xuandu is generous, listening to Fenglou will regard him as a distinguished guest, and now he will give the truth, but also for long-term consideration in the future.

The three of them boarded the carriage, the carriage from the outside, it seemed that except for the carriage was slightly larger, it was not much, and when they entered the carriage, they found that there was a hole in the sky, there were two delicate wooden doors behind the curtain, after pushing the door, there was a small table in the eye, and there were all kinds of things needed to make tea on the table, all fixed with buckles, even if the carriage was bumpy, there was no worry about spilling. The feet are covered with a black carpet, and the curtains on the windows are made of thin pieces of bamboo, which can let in the light, so that the inside of the car is not too dark, and the scene inside the car is not seen by outsiders.

The carriage quickly drove into the post road and then entered the city through the southeast corner gate of Jinling City.

After entering the city, the carriage did not go to the southern city where the Liufeng Pavilion was located, but went to the eastern city.

Jinling Mansion can be roughly divided into four parts, southeast and northwest, because of the north and facing the south, the north city is where the yamen and the mansions of the powerful are located, the south city is where the major banks and the mansions of the rich merchants are located, the west city is where the ordinary people are, and the east city is the famous place of commerce and trade, here is full of large and small shops, gathering the goods of the north and south of the river, all kinds, it can be said that there is only the unexpected, there is no one who cannot be found, the most reflects the prosperity of the southeast.

The largest and most luxurious Guangyuan Inn in Jinling City is located in the East City.

But all this kind of inn is not as simple as a single building, but large and small courtyards together, you can ask for a single room, or you can directly rent a single courtyard, it is the first choice for many rich and noble families who drag their families to travel.

The Guangyuan Inn occupies half of the long street, because Liangzi has already set the courtyard, and some guys are waiting at the intersection early, and then lead the carriage into an alley.

Liang Zi explained for Li Xuandu: "There are too many guests coming and going in Guangyuan Inn every day, so there are portals in all directions of the inn to facilitate guests to enter and exit. ”

Sure enough, at the end of the alley was a gate, which had been opened, and an old servant in a green coat and a small hat was standing at the door.

Liang Zi lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

The old servant saluted respectfully: "Mrs. Liang." ”

Liang Zi asked, "Have you cleaned up the courtyard of the room?"

The old servant replied, "Everything has been packed up according to your orders, and it is now waiting for the guests to check in." ”

Mrs. Liang gestured to the coachman.

The coachman understood and drove the carriage straight into it.

Liang Zi chose this courtyard for Li Xuandu called "Maple Leaf Garden", the area is not large, but it is exquisite, there are two maple trees planted in the yard, but unfortunately it is not autumn now, and I can't see the scene of red leaves everywhere. The price of such a yard is expensive, it costs ten taels of silver a day, almost more than the expenses of an ordinary family of three for three years, Mrs. Liang paid a deposit for three days, if you want to live more, I'm sorry, according to the style of listening to the wind building, then Li Xuandu will have to pay the silver himself.

Entering the courtyard, Liang Zi waved away the old servant and the guy who had led the way before, and personally took Li Xuandu to the main hall of the courtyard, because it was an inn, the layout in the main room was not the same, there was actually a large glazed vat, in which there were many goldfish, and there were carefully cultivated lotus flowers on the water surface, probably because there was a dragon charcoal fire in the room, the lotus blossomed luxuriantly, and did not wither.

The three of them sat down separately, and Li Xuandu finally asked the question: "I don't know where the governor of Qin is now?"

Liang Zi's face was a little solemn, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "It's missing." ”

Li Xuandu was stunned, he was not angry and anxious, but he also aggravated his tone: "How could it be missing?"

Liang Zi's face was embarrassed: "After the Governor of Qin was trapped in Jinling Mansion, he has been living in the Dabao'en Temple in Nancheng, and the Governor of Jiangnan has always been indifferent to this, until two days ago, the Governor of Jiangnan sent someone to invite Qin Xiang to the Governor's Mansion of Jiangnan for a banquet, saying that he wanted to be a mediator for the Governor of Qin and the Governor of Jingchu, and said that the Governor of Qin went to the banquet as promised, and the result was ......"

Li Xuandu asked, "Can you determine the current location of the Governor of Qin? Is it the Yamen Prison of the Governor of Qin, or the Governor's Mansion of Jiangnan?"

Liang Zi shook his head.

Li Xuandu took a deep breath and asked again, "What about Qin Dudu's subordinates, just watching Qin Dudu fall into prison like this?"

The expression on Liang Zi's face became more and more solemn, and said: "This is what I really don't understand, the people of Bailianfang have already left after escorting Qin Dudu to Jinling Mansion, and at this time, the people who followed Qin Dudu are the old departments of Qin Dudu, according to reason, these people should be trustworthy, but they are ......"

"Just what?" Li Xuandu asked, "Could it be that there are inner ghosts among these people?"

"I don't know if there's a ghost inside. Liang Zi shook his head and said, "But the few people who followed Governor Qin to the banquet also had no news." ”

Li Xuandu asked: "They are all great living people, and there is also a great grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realm, how could they disappear out of thin air? Even if the Governor of Jiangnan set up a Hongmen banquet, and the Grand Grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realm personally sat in the town to set up an ambush to arrest the Governor of Qin and his party, there should always be some trouble, right? How could it be completely silent? Listening to Fenglou's claim to be the world's affairs, you can know eight or nine times out of ten, is it a waste of fame?"

Liang Zi said with a guilty face: "We heard that Fenglou has begun to track down the whereabouts of the Qin Dudu, as long as there is news, we will immediately inform Li Gongzi." ”

Li Xuandu let out a long breath of turbidity: "So far, it can only be like this." ”

Liang Zi got up from the chair and saluted: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Li Xuandu stared at Liang Zi, and changed his words: "I understand your store, and your store should also understand me, I have listened to the signboard of Fenglou for more than ten years, and I can't destroy this matter, if your store can't give me a satisfactory answer within three days, I have the means to ask your store for an explanation." ”

After Liang Zi heard this, he could only smile bitterly.

It is said that the store bullies customers, but the customers can also bully the store, and if they really want to go to that point, it is nothing more than relying on their own means, but listening to Fenglou doing business on the rivers and lakes, in order to seek wealth, not to be angry, so this matter must be given an explanation after all.

Liang Zi said: "If Gongzi Li has nothing else to do, then the concubine will retire first, and within three days, the concubine will definitely give Gongzi an answer." ”

Li Xuan didn't have to pay attention to the unforgiving, got up and said, "Then there is Mrs. Lao Liang." ”

Liu Chen hesitated slightly, then got up, saluted Li Xuandu, and then followed Liang Zi out of the place.

The carriage in which the two women got up was gone, leaving Li Xuandu alone.

Li Xuandu sat alone on the Taishi chair in the main hall, closed his eyes again, and began to think about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

In any case, he couldn't figure out why Qin Xiang and the others would disappear into the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion out of thin air, unless there was a master in the Immortal Realm who made a move, they shouldn't be so quiet. But there are only a few people on the Lao Xuan list, and they will not be the ones who meddle in this matter.

What's more, according to what Tingfeng Lou said, this incident happened two days ago, in other words, in these two days, Tingfeng Lou has not made much progress in this regard, even if they are given another three days, they may not be able to find Qin Xiang's traces.

In these three days, Li Xuan couldn't blindly wait, let alone put all his eggs in the same basket.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu already had a fixed opinion in his heart.

The strong dragon that crosses the river does not suppress the snake on the ground, and it seems that he still wants to see the old man.
