Just then, there was a loud sound of footsteps downstairs, and a rough shout came up from downstairs.

"Zhang Lao Er! Zhang Lao Er! Where did you die? You are dying of hunger, and you still don't bring good wine and food?"

Before he could finish speaking, there was the sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and it sounded like there were at least four or five people.

Zhang Lao Er confessed, trotted to receive the guests who went upstairs, and did not forget to close the door of the private room when leaving.

The sound of tables and chairs pulling came from the private room next door, followed by the rough voice.

"Second Zhang, bring two jars of wine over, it's windy at the city gate, give the brothers a few warm up!"

"Okay, okay! Wait, Horseman. ”

Immediately afterwards, there was the footsteps of Zhang Lao Er going downstairs.

Lu Yi and the four of them were silent, buried themselves in eating, and listened carefully to the movements next door, but except for some complaints mixed with some complaints about who took how many benefits they took when they were on duty, and which little lady was taken advantage of, there was no news worth remembering.

The things on the table were almost finished, and Lu Yi and the four of them were about to settle out and leave, when the sound of the horse head scolding came from next door.

"Damn! How many truckloads of things did the iron lock help transport out today? I only gave a total of two taels of silver! I really got more and more picky! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became!"

"I'm counting! Twelve cars in total!"

"Now Luoyang is in a tight situation, and a cart of standard long knives will earn at least two hundred taels!

"Ma Tou'er said cautiously, others are wearing the same pants as Captain Wei!"

"These bastards have a lot of fish and meat, so they have to give the brothers a mouthful of soup!"

"Who says it isn't! But there's no way! It's not that no one has deliberately rectified them before, and in the end, they were all called by Captain Wei, and there is no news, I think it's ......."

"What are you afraid of? It's just that you've been killed by murder!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the staircase, it should be Zhang Lao Er who brought wine and food, and several people next door kept silent, only Zhang Lao Er's polite words and the sound of dishes bumping.

Lu Yichong nodded to the other three, took the opportunity to go downstairs to settle the bill, and learned that they were relatives of the Iron Lock Gang, Zhang Lao Er was only willing to accept half of the silver, and nodded and sent a few people out.

Yun Chen smiled sarcastically: "It seems that it's really good to know big people, you can get a discount on meals!"

"I didn't expect the Iron Lock Gang to dare to blatantly sell weapons, it's really a matter of heaven. ”

"As long as it's profitable, where does it matter what it's selling? ”

"Don't worry about them first, the thicker the family, the better!"

Several people looked at each other and laughed.

"Let's find a place to go into the city, and then see what kind of role this Tieshan County Magistrate will be. ”

A few people bypassed the city gate, found a remote location, jumped over, and entered the city smoothly.

Walking on the street, Li Muran couldn't help frowning and said, "Is this also called wealth?

Lu Yi looked at the streets and said with a smile: "This is the real fame, it is better to meet, I estimate that the larger towns in Jiangnan Road are more lively than here." ”

"Let's find a place to stay first, I feel like standing alone on the street and others look at us like fools. ”

Lu Yi shook his head: "Let's go more, first familiarize yourself with the familiar place." ”

The four of them walked slowly down a street.

It was noon, the tavern teahouse was full of shops, but there were not many pedestrians on the road, some passers-by seemed to be in a hurry, and the beggars squatting in the corner of the wall on both sides of the street could be seen everywhere, and the pedestrians passing by had weakness to stretch out their hands to break the bowl, most of them looked indifferent and chose to turn a blind eye.

Maybe they really don't have the ability to help them, or maybe they're used to it.

After all, Tieshan is a big county town, although it seems to be depressed and dilapidated everywhere, the pattern of the entire county can still see the original heritage.

The county government is located on Jiadi Street, and this street should be the most lively place in the whole county now, the street is cleaned, all kinds of government treasury yamen on both sides and the casting bureau covering a huge area of various clerks are flowing endlessly, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the city with a team of five people are also vigilantly staring at the passers-by.

Yun Yuan saw the patrol soldier and said in a low voice, "It seems that people are not allowed to approach casually. ”

As soon as Lu saw that there was an inn in the Rolling Shutter Alley, which was only separated by a wall from Jiadi Street, the four-story wooden building looked exquisitely decorated, and the rooms on the main third and fourth floors should be able to overlook the entire Jiadi Street, so he walked in with the three of them.

The inn's name is Zhike, and the name is very elegant.

The lobby on the first floor was empty when the four of them entered, but it was well organized, and there was a high platform in the middle of the lobby with various musical instruments around it.

The proprietress was a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup, and when she saw the four people walking into the lobby, she raised her head and didn't say hello, and continued to apply rouge to the bronze mirror on the counter.

Li Muran frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Lu Yi pulled his clothes, stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Boss, is there still a guest room?"

Only then did the middle-aged woman withdraw her gaze from the bronze mirror, looked up at the four disheveled young men, and said with a smile: "There are rooms, two taels of silver for one night on the second floor, four taels on the third floor, and six taels on the fourth floor!"

Li Muran was furious, reached out and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and slapped it on the counter: "Is it enough?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up, she grabbed the silver ticket and looked at it several times, and smiled again: "Yo! I didn't expect a few of them to be distinguished guests! Enough is enough! It's enough to arrange a sister for one of you at night!"

Yun Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that it was possible to go to the wrong place?

Lu Yi looked at the clothes of his group of four, and knew in his heart, bumping on the way to the road, the clothes looked crumpled and tattered, no wonder these businessmen looked down on people.

smiled disappetically at the moment: "Sister or something, don't need anything, arrange two fourth-floor rooms, prepare the wine and food in the evening, our brothers came all the way from Luoyang to Tieshan to do business, just want to take a good rest, the eldest sister can't bully us." ”

The eldest sister made the other three people so tired that they couldn't do it, and they all glanced at Lu Yi, who had a pale face, with a strange expression.

The proprietress smiled, stretched out her hand and gently patted Lu Yi's shoulder and said greasyly: "This little brother is really good at talking, my sister feels sorry for you It's too late, where will you bully people! ”

After speaking, he stood up and bent down to take out a bunch of keys from the counter, and the large piece of snow white deliberately exposed on his chest was not hidden, and then he saw the slightly red cheeks of several teenagers and laughed coquettishly, turned around and twisted his waist to lead the way in front.

There were a total of eight guest rooms on the fourth floor, and Lu Yi noticed that four of them had no padlocks, indicating that someone was occupied, and there happened to be two rooms facing Jiadi Street that were still empty, so he asked for it.

When the proprietress left, she threw a wink and smiled: "I really don't want a sister?" It's a long night, but it's very lonely and difficult, and my sister has a thousand charming sisters of all colors. ”

Lu Yi smiled and shook his head.

A few people were a little stunned when they opened the door, the room was elegantly and exquisitely furnished, but the round wooden bed and pink tent made people feel weird.

After closing the door, Li Muran pinched the orchid finger and said in a thin voice: "Yo, the little brother is so handsome, my sister likes it so much!"

The two Yunchen brothers leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

Lu Yi said angrily: "We are out to find out the news, and if you say a few more words about your temper, you will probably want to demolish other people's inns, learn! You still learn!"

After saying that, he kicked it over.

Li Muran jumped away quickly, gave a thumbs up and said: "I admire you more and more, you are really proficient in all aspects of the three religions and nine streams!

Yun Yuan suppressed his laughter, pointed to the strange wooden bed and said, "Could it be that this is really a green building? Where is an ordinary inn arranged like this?"

Lu nodded a little: "This inn is full of weirdness, we still have to be careful, don't be inexplicably other people's ways, I always feel that the proprietress is not simple." ”

Yun Chen said: "Let's go out and buy a set of clothes, this dress does look more eye-catching." ”

"Okay, leave the two of you here, and Brother Yunchen and I will go to the street. ”

Li Muran lay on his back on the bed and kicked off his shoes, and said with satisfaction: "Go ahead! After a night in the mountains, I want to sleep well, hey! Don't say, this bed is really soft and comfortable!"

Leaving the weapon in the room, Lu Yi and Yun Chen went downstairs, and when they walked to the lobby, they saw a girl in a yellow dress on the counter, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with high hair, melon seed face and phoenix eyes, extremely beautiful face, but indifferent.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, his eyes looked coldly.

Lu Yi smiled politely and nodded, but the girl looked disgusted and ignored it.

The proprietress glared at the girl, smiled and greeted, "Where are the two sons going?"

"I was just going to ask my sister, where is there a tailor shop nearby? A few of our brothers came all the way in the starry night, and now I want to change my outfit when I have time!"

Hearing the word sister, the indifferent girl was even more sarcastic.

The proprietress said with a smile: "Turn right when you go out, and you can't walk a few steps to the most famous ready-to-wear shop in Tieshan County, what kind of good-looking clothes are there!"

Lu Yi thanked him and walked out of the inn with Yunchen.

When the two of them were far away, the proprietress put away the smile on her face and said to the girl with a little complaint: "Li'er, you are messing around again! How can you gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes like this? When you meet a narrow-minded person, you add a grudge. ”

The girl named Li'er snorted and said in a muffled voice: "It's a pity that such a good-looking pair of skins is really ruined by gold and jade." ”

The proprietress doted on the girl's sideburns, and said to her with a smile: "Look at people, remember not to just look at appearance, do we people suffer such losses and eat less?"

"Dou Gongzi is different!"

When talking about Dou Gongzi, Li'er's cold cheeks were like spring snow melting, and a faint smile appeared, happy and delicate.

The proprietress sighed in her heart, knowing that if Dou Gongzi's words were not bound to make the little girl unhappy, she said softly at the moment: "Actually, I think the four young people who lived in today are all good, especially the young man who greeted me at the end." ”

Li'er was really unhappy, and her tone was a little mean: "Just by him, he is also worthy of being compared with Dou Gongzi?

"I didn't compare him with Dou Gongzi, so good, Li'er's favorite Dou Gongzi Wen Taowu is the first in the world!"

Li'er turned her anger into joy, and asked a little shyly: "Senior sister, do you think Dou Gongzi will come tonight?"

The proprietress stretched out her hand and scratched Li'er's nose, and quipped: "Dou Gongzi just came last night, how long has it been since we were apart, and you are looking forward to getting dark again?"

After a pause, he seemed to think of something and smiled: "Dou Gongzi will definitely come tonight!"

Li'er held her chin with both hands, and replied with some thoughts: "Senior sister, where do you understand?"

The proprietress looked gloomy when she heard this, but then changed to a smiling face and said, "Li'er, have you gone to see if you are dressed?" Today is fifteen, and there is a dance of her in the evening. ”

Li'er reluctantly stood up, pouted and said, "That little prodigal hoof must still be sleeping with his head covered!

The proprietress said angrily, "Go quickly, don't chew the root of the sisters' tongue behind your back!"

"Okay, okay! I'm going to go! I wonder if Nishang is the illegitimate daughter of my senior sister and my son!"

After speaking, he left a string of silver bell-like smiles in the lobby, and walked into the backyard with a graceful posture.

When she was far away, the proprietress gradually turned cold, and said in a low voice: "Dou Wenbao, Dou Wenbao, what is there in your Iron Lock Gang that is worthy of the master to let us stay here for ten whole years?"
