After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!

There is not only one city in Baihua City, there are many villages and towns around each big city, these villages and towns are sheltered by the big city, and they are not harassed and attacked by the Jianghu tourists and road bandits, but they need to pay the corresponding protection fee to the big city, and this protection fee is somewhat interesting. pineapple

Since each big city has its own way of making money, there is not much demand for yellow and white things such as gold, silver and jade, so only a small part of the protection fee is money, and the vast majority of it is decided by the current city lord.

The lords of the twelve major cities in history have changed several times, some require blades, some require food, some require beautiful women, and some require beautiful songs, and more bizarre requirements are not nothing, such as "the most delicious rock sugar gourd", "funny jokes", "enough things to make the monks from Tianwen Zen Buddhism break the vows" and so on.

Compared with these headache requirements, Baihuacheng's requirements are much simpler, that is, every household must raise flowers, and regularly pick the flowers to make spices and send them to Baihuacheng, for which Baihuacheng even sent craftsmen who can make spices to various towns to teach.

"Guest officer, please!"

"Good noodles!

In a town around Baihua City, in the corner of a noodle restaurant, a silver-haired old man is drinking noodle soup with the only remaining one-handed sea bowl, this old man has silver hair but is extraordinarily energetic, compared with ordinary old people, this old man has a vigorous and weird spirit from the inside out, the whole person exudes a side-catching aura, and the old man's table is also eye-catching stacked together and stacked high "bowl tower".

This old man was the single old man who came out of the Ning Mansion to find Ning Shisan.

With a bang, the sea bowl rested on the table, and Shan Lao shouted with satisfaction: "Little Er!

Xiao Er, who was still shouting at the door, didn't enter the store, and after listening to the old man's shouting, Xiao Er ran to the old man with a cigarette, and was also surprised to see the sea bowl stacked on the old man's table: "Yo, you have eaten a lot, but don't break your body." ”

Hearing this, Shan Lao smiled, raised his arm and patted his belly: "Haha, this little amount is enough for the old man to pad my belly, and it won't get in the way." ”

"Yes, yes, you can see that you are old and extraordinary, the small one will count this bowl first and then count it for you"

As soon as the words fell, a snow-white silver ingot paused on the table, and the heavy silver body collided with the solid wood table that had been soaked in noodle soup and vegetable oil for many years, making a dull sound, and Shan Lao smiled at Xiao Er: "No need to look for it." ”

Xiao Er was so frightened that he hurriedly tore off the rag on his shoulder to cover the dazzling color of the snowflakes and silver, looked around cautiously, and smiled bitterly: "This master, if you have anything to ask directly, why do you bother to do this, it's just a small one." ”

Xiao Er is also a person-like character, this ingot of snowflake silver bought half of the noodle restaurant and is rich, at this moment, this old man with a good aura took out this silver definitely not to pay the bill.

This is the sorrow of the weak, the husband is not guilty, if this small noodle shop suddenly has such a huge amount of money, it may provoke the cow ghost snake god who came out of nowhere.

Shan Lao knows Xiao Er's thoughts, but this is not something he worries about, the little people naturally have the way of living of the little people, if he really has a mind, he doesn't believe that this small shop can't eat such ingots of silver, he doesn't procrastinate, one hand goes deep into his arms and takes out a piece of paper, on the paper is painted a young man with clear eyebrows, the painter's technique is delicate and superb, and even the impatience and helplessness between the young man's eyebrows are vividly displayed on this ink.

Shan Lao handed this portrait to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er hurriedly rubbed his hand his body, rubbing off the greasy feeling on his hand before he dared to take the portrait handed by the old man.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

Xiao Er carefully identified it, and then frowned and shook his head: "I'm sorry, this little master has never seen it." ”

"Alas. The old man took out the map in his arms, unfolded it, took out the charcoal pen rolled in it, and then blacked out the corresponding places in this town on the map.

"Are you looking for someone?" Xiao Er asked tentatively, "Why don't I help you inquire?"

"No need. The old man shook his head: "I have searched all the places in this town, and this is the last place for you." Saying that, the old man got up, retrieved the portrait of Ning Shisan from the little second-hand, folded it into a tofu block along the crease with one hand, and stuffed it into his arms.

Walking out of the noodle shop, Shan Lao looked at the people coming and going on the street, and muttered: "Thirteen, you ran a little far this time." ”

"Find it!"

In the top inn next door, a group of Baihuawei of Baihuacheng are turning over the river and the sea inside, and the Baihuawei of the big gang is running around, searching, and smashing in the inn with one hand pressing the handle of the knife, and these officials are followed by a large group of Xiaoer and attendants to rescue those things that can be salvaged.

"Ouch! That's an antique!"

"This is a screen carved out of fine wood!"

"Don't, don't! That's a glass lamp!"

"That's a hundred-year-old staircase!"

The innkeeper followed the leader of Baihuawei with a sad face and nodded: "Your Excellency, you can do it, okay! I really don't have any young city lord here!"

"Impossible!" The leader of Baihuawei ignored the innkeeper's cry: "Find it all for me! Even if this place is demolished, the young city lord must be found!"

A Baihuawei handed over an account book: "Boss, there is yesterday's resident registration on it." ”

In order to facilitate the audit and calculation of profits, the inn management has its own account, in addition to the account in order to cooperate with the official family action, there is also the registration of residents, and the registration of residents contains the name of the guest and the number of gifts, horses and vehicles, etc.

The leader of Baihuawei took it and flipped through it, turned to a page and paused, pointing to one of the pages: "What about this carriage?"

The innkeeper smiled: "This carriage belongs to other people's guests, and it left early in the morning." ”

The leader of Baihuawei frowned, counted the number of people registered, he remembered the number of people brought into the city, seven big men who were not good birds at first glance, a woman with a turbulent figure, a child, a scholar, a young man who looked strange, and a middle-aged man, counting the "young city lord" should be thirteen people, but there were only twelve names registered in this directory, but when these people were registered, they were compiled and registered by one person, and there was no way to find clues from the handwriting, the leader of Baihuawei immediately frowned: " Is there a young man among these twelve who looks very noble?"

The shopkeeper's group lived in the hotel, either fierce or had a strange aura, and only the shopkeeper, Bai Xiaosheng, and Mo Xiaoxiao were normal, leaving a deep impression on the innkeeper, hearing the question of the leader of Baihuawei, the innkeeper's frowning recall, Guo Xiaodao was a child was directly excluded after the innkeeper shook his head: "No." ”

"Take me to see where I parked. ”

Coming to the backyard of the inn, Baihuawei saw the introduction of the ruts in the backyard at a glance, because Ning Shisan ate and lived in the carriage, so the rut marks of the carriage were much deeper than the rut marks of the empty car driving out of the backyard of the inn, the leader of Baihuawei leaned down and touched the rut, and his face was suddenly gloomy: "Sure enough!"

The leader of the Baihuawei suddenly got up and gave orders to the heralds beside him: "Pass my order, everyone go and search the whereabouts of that carriage, if my inference is correct, our young city lord is likely to be held hostage!"
