Chapter 309: Shut Out
Now that something big has happened in the city, even if Hutong Lane is such a remote place, these little people know about it, and every family is worried.
The assassin who dared to assassinate the general of the city had not yet been caught, and they were already very worried at that time.
As the lowest-level ordinary people, some of the wind and grass above, they just listen to it, or hear it from other places.
How can they know exactly what is going on, anyway, they only know that this assassin even dares to assassinate the generals in the city, it must be bold, and killing them is not as easy as slaughtering chickens.
I was very cautious for many days, and my heart was pounding, and after the storm finally calmed down, suddenly there was such a thing in the city.
And I heard that they are still two big masters, thousands of times more terrifying than the assassin who dared to assassinate the general before, whether it is true They don't know, anyway, it sounds quite bluffing.
They are ordinary people who listen to others talk about things in other places every day, and they listen to it very lively, but when this thing really falls on their heads, they don't panic.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers in the city came to search, they seemed to be extremely cooperative, and even opened the secret room wine cellar at home.
Because of this, the Xia City Lord learned a lot about the situation in the city and mastered a lot of secrets in the city, but it can be regarded as an unintentional willow tree.
They are in the place of Hutong Lane, if it weren't for the fire of the world's No. 1 inn, they wouldn't have much knowledge when they grow so big.
At this time, I didn't know who was looking at the person leading the way in front of him, and suddenly exclaimed, and shouted with a little doubt in his mouth: "That's, that's the garrison master I met once." ”
"Ah...... Garrison Lord. The rest of the people muttered quietly, this is the biggest official they have ever seen in their lives.
I thought that when I was in Hutong Lane last time, I had already seen many nobles.
Unexpectedly, this time it was even worse, even the city garrison came in person.
It is precisely because of this that they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter and the power of those two masters.
One by one, they hid behind the door, poked their heads out and looked out, and only when these people got closer and closer did they open the door and pose as a couch to greet each other.
I can't wait for these people to come in, so I can rest assured that I can finish the search.
As a result, he watched so quietly, watching a group of soldiers standing guard in front of the entrance of Hutong Alley, leaving only the garrison master behind him and the two guards stepping into the alley.
Along the way, he didn't squint, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked straight to the door of the inn.
Ah, it turned out that he was still coming to this inn, and everyone's hearts suddenly gave birth to a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
It's no wonder that the garrison went out in person, and it is estimated that only this inn can attract him.
However, as for what exactly makes this inn unique, they still don't know.
I only heard that it seems to be a particularly delicious dish, but no matter how delicious it is, how delicious can it be, and can it be better than stick noodles and flatbread?
Anyway, it smelled quite good, and they didn't have no curiosity to investigate, but they were intimidated by the price of the dishes inside.
Later, some people looked at the rules standing in the inn, and they were even more amazed, they had never even heard of such a strange inn before.
After that, they completely dismissed the idea of the inn.
But at this moment, their curiosity rose again, and they still stayed quietly behind the door, looking at the front fixedly.
They all wanted to see what would happen after the garrison entered the inn, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
Found the plaque of the No. 1 inn in the world, Ning Yi glanced up, thinking that he had never been to any place in the city for so long in Dade County, but there had never been a moment when he was in such a complicated mood as today.
On the list of the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, the seventh master, a few years ago, that was also something he couldn't think of.
Raising his feet and crossing the threshold, Ning Yi asked the two guards to wait outside the inn, and walked in alone.
"Yo, the garrison is here in person. Xu Ming, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea, stood up and walked forward, hugged his hand towards Ning Yi and said.
"Ah, here we are. At this time, Ning Yi put down his identity as a guard, and only regarded himself as an ordinary person, and said with a smile on his face.
"Come and sit. Xu Ming pointed to the table and smiled.
"Uh, okay, sit down. This sounded a little weird, Ning Yi opened the bench with a slight bow and sat down.
Resting on the table with his fingers crossed, Ning Yi reacted that something was wrong after sitting down, why did he come.
stopped talking nonsense at the moment, and said directly: "Senior, you also know what I'm here for." ”
"I don't know. Xu Ming shook his head very directly, and then said: "By the way, don't call me senior, I'm not old, how old is my son." ”
"Eh, yes, yes. Ning Yi nodded and said, "You also know what the situation is in the city now, so I brought people here to search your inn." ”
"Oh, search my inn. Xu Ming sighed, and as soon as he spoke, the expression on his face closed: "No." "Resolute.
For a while, Ning Yi's expression was a little frozen, he didn't expect the other party to refuse so resolutely, without the slightest consideration.
It's just a search for the inn, looking at the entire Dade County, except for the City Lord's Mansion who greeted him in advance, the rest of the places are directly started and unimpeded.
It was also because the shopkeeper of this inn was Xu Ming, he would rather be the first to salute, and he also thought that his guard, who came in person, should give this face, but the result.
Ning Yi frowned and said, "I don't know why Shopkeeper Xu refused?"
is used to being in a high position, and since the emperor stepped on the world, Ning Yi has not taken these so-called masters as mysteriously as before.
"Oh, you can't trust me, with my ability, those two seriously injured people are hiding in my inn, will I not know?" Xu Ming said in a flat tone, and said: "As for my inn, there are recipes and cheats for various dishes, how can you let you search casually?"
"My small inn is making money by ordering food like this, and you really found out, what will I eat, eh?" Xu Mingyi said righteously, and what he said was also reasonable and well-founded, so that Ning Yi couldn't refute it.
Bowing his head slightly, a look of hesitation flashed on his face, and after a while, he suddenly suddenly was almost surrounded by the other party.
Yes, that's right, if those two masters hid in the inn, it was indeed impossible to hide Xu Ming's perception, but this did not mean that the other party would not hide people.
But he can't say that, he doesn't dare and won't be stupid enough to say this directly, thinking of this in his mind, Garrison Ning Yi has already made a decision in his heart.
Raising his head and looking at Xu Mingdao, "This shopkeeper Xu can rest assured, my subordinates are all in order, and they will definitely not touch your secret things." ”
"As long as it is discovered, how about being directly expelled from the military and cutting off a hand?" Ning Yi asked rhetorically.
"No, no, no. Xu Ming shook his head decisively and said bluntly: "I can't believe you. ”
"Is Shopkeeper Xu really unwilling to cooperate?" Ning Yi's expression turned cold.
He also saluted, and if he was forced to do so, he would have to be a soldier.
"Haha, it's not that you don't want to cooperate, it's that there's no need for this at all, so I won't delay you to check other places. Xu Mingle said.
With both hands slapping the table, Ning Yi Huoran stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyelids jumped twice, and he weighed some things in his heart.
After thinking about it, he was thinking about the pros and cons, and whether he had the right to do something about it.
"What's the matter? Could it be that the garrison adults still want to suppress it by force and bully me, a little common man, bully me, a small inn?" Xu Ming also stood up and looked into Ning Yi's eyes and said.
"No, even if it's Dade County, you have to talk about the rules, we, good businessmen who abide by the law, you don't make sense. The more Xu Ming spoke, the more a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Hearing this, Ning Yi didn't speak, but smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: It would be fine if you were really a small inn, I don't have to worry so much, I just need to search directly.
Obviously the other party was pushing him, how did he end up being a bully, Ning Yi shook his head, and said softly: "I don't have this ability in Xia, what can I do, the shopkeeper doesn't give me Ning Yi this face, and I will truthfully report to the city lord in Xia." ”
"It should be, Lord Ning, as a subordinate, should make it clear to the top when he encounters something that he can't get right. Xu Ming said meaningfully, making Ning Yi feel uncomfortable.
He didn't say anything, shook his fist, turned around and walked out of the door of the inn, and the two guards didn't ask anything, just followed him quietly.
Seeing that the garrison had gone out, all the ordinary people who were watching from the side suddenly changed their expressions, and when they saw the other party turn their eyes, they all looked to the side again.
At the same time, I was curious in my heart, how did the guard enter the inn and come out without anything happening.
It's not noisy and noisy, I haven't listened to any sounds and movements, and it's over quietly?
This shouldn't be, look at that posture, what should the garrison do?
At the very least, you should search the inn. Could it be that the inn still has some big reason to force the garrison to retreat?
As soon as I thought of this, I saw the garrison wave his hand vigorously and said, "Search for me! Don't spare an inch of land in all places except the No. 1 inn in the world that day." ”
All the soldiers agreed in unison, tightened their waist knives, and went into various rooms one after another, launching a strict search.
Seeing that the situation was going on as usual, Ning Yi nodded, looked at his two guards and said, "You two are staring here, you must be strictly supervised to avoid any slackness and favoritism." ”
"Yes. Both nodded at the same time, their faces serious.
"Good. After Ning Yi finished speaking, he quickly ran to the mouth of the alley of Hutong Lane, turned over and got on the horses parked there, neighed, and hurried towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After Ning Yi left, Xu Ming didn't sit down anymore, and went directly to the room where Liu Yuan and the others were hiding, and told him what happened in the hall just now.
Then he said: "Later, the city lord Xia Lingling is very likely to come in person, I may not be able to stop it, and the two of you are prepared for the worst." ”
It is true that Ning Yi can still stop him, but if Xia Lingling has to search, he can't stop it.
After saying this, Xu Ming saw that Liu Yuan fell into deep thought, his eyes were in a state of distraction, and he thought that the other party was calculating.
However, Liu Yuan was thinking of something else at the moment, if Xia Lingling really came, he would be able to recognize the identity of his ghost face at a glance, there was no doubt about it......
As Xu Ming said, he really couldn't do such a thing, he weighed it in his heart for a long time, and found that it was better not to take this risk.
Non-stop, shouting along the way to get out of the way, after a short time, Ning Yi took the lead and stopped in front of the city lord's mansion, turned over and dismounted without bolting, and went up the steps in three or two steps.
After saying something to the gatekeeper, the latter quickly took Lord Ning and went inside.
At this moment, Xia Lingling was sitting in the study, looking at the various messages that were constantly being sent from outside, and a pair of willow eyebrows kept stirring.
Her injuries at this time are more or less recovered, and she uses the unique injury medicine at home, at least she can move, and the result is halfway through.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, she knew that at this time, if there was no urgent matter, her subordinates would not come to disturb her.
Oh? Could it be that Yang Xianzhi of the Huifeng Sect asked for the news of the ghost face? Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked out the door.
Before the door of the study was closed, she saw Ning Yi walking from the stone road at a glance.
"Why are you here, why are you here without urging the situation in the city?" Xia Lingling said in an unhappy tone.
"My lord, there is something important to report, about the world's first inn Xu Ming and his wife. After Ning Yi saluted, he straightened his waist and said.
Say. As soon as she heard that it was related to Xu Mingde, Xia Lingling immediately paid attention to it, put down all the things in her hand, and looked at Ning Yidao.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Yi told everything that had just happened, not daring to add any fuel or vinegar, nor daring to conceal it.
"Did he really refuse so simply?" Xia Lingling asked.
After seeing Ning Yi nodding, Xia Lingling leaned back, closed her eyes, pinched her eyebrows, and began to think.
Probably just a cup of tea, Xia Lingling stood up directly from the chair, picked up the cloak on the shelf, and walked out.
"Let's go, follow me to the first inn in the world. ”
Promised to follow quickly, and on the way to the two of them rode horses at the same time, and when they arrived at Hutong Lane, those soldiers were still searching the house.
This is Xia Lingling's first time coming back to the first inn in the world, and this is the first time that Xia Lingling has been so close to the 'ghost face' since Sanhe Tower.
