Chapter 183: The Inn Bottoms Out

Hongyuan Villa has two properties in Beiyu Town, one is the 'Hexuan Restaurant' that is engaged in the catering business, and the other is the 'Xiangyun Inn' which is engaged in the inn business, both of which are also managed by Li Shijie.

After Shen Hongfei's subordinates explored the Xiangyun Inn on the surface, it was doing the inn's business on the surface, but in fact it was an important hub for liaison with Wei'an City.

So, according to the list on the booklet and Shen Hongfei's investigation, Yi Rongcheng recently took over the contact with Xiangyun Inn, Yu Ji, a small steward of Hongyuan Villa.

Li Zifeng faced Yu Ji's face, walked into the Yunxiang Inn generously, and threw a token in his hand into the hands of the shopkeeper Hong Fei. Hong Fei is relatively strong, close to the age of confusion, full of beard, talking like Hong Zhong, seeing someone who does not know the rules and throwing something over, scolding, "Which little rabbit cub who doesn't understand the rules......"

The next moment he looked down and saw the token, and swallowed the rest of the words, Hong Fei was still a little in awe of the people from Hongyuan Villa. He looked up at the person who threw something at him, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and immediately patiently lowered his voice with a respectful face, and asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

"Don't you know?" 'Yu Ji' frowned, "The lord sent me to see the situation here." ”

According to the informant, Hong Fei and Yu Ji only have a one-sided relationship, and when they met, they simply exchanged a few words of greeting and took an account book, and the two were not too familiar with each other. Moreover, Li Zifeng had already inquired about the relevant situation before, so his words were not leaky, and Hong Fei did not see the slightest flaw.

"Ouch, Yu Ye..."Hong Fei finally remembered, nodding his head, his searching eyes always wandered on 'Yu Ji', and asked tentatively, "Steward Li just came before, why did you ...... today?"

'Yu Ji' looked deep, and secretly sighed that this Hong Fei seemed to be a rough man, but in fact, he was very thoughtful, fortunately, when he held Li Zhi hostage before, he revealed that he was only in charge of the accounts of Hexuan Restaurant, and had never taken over the Xiangyun Inn, the agency that transmits news, 'Yu Ji' frowned.

Hong Fei didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with him asking this, and continued to ask, "What's wrong?"

'Yu Ji' stared at Hong Fei tightly, but his voice was a little arrogant, "Is this a fool of Shopkeeper Hong, how have we been here, I remember that on the first day of the first lunar month last month, it was our young owner who came in person." ”

The temptation was correct, Hong Fei relieved his mind a little, touched the token and gave it back to 'Yu Ji', with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, yes... Look at my memory, it's really useless, please in the guest room. ”

The sky was getting darker, and the streets were sparsely lit, with Hong Fei holding a lantern in front of him to lead the way, and 'Yu Ji' followed closely behind. Along the way, Hong Fei kept apologizing, "I'm really embarrassed just now, in extraordinary times, I have to guard against it!"

'Yu Ji' wanted to habitually say, 'It's okay, it's okay to be cautious', but he still held back, hesitated, and immediately changed his tone with a vague understanding of the people of Hongyuan Villa, "Forget it this time, and next time, I will definitely report to the master and clean you up." ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

While talking, the two walked through the front hall with a flow of people, walked out of the small wooden door at the back, and walked through a straight and winding stone road, and finally came to the inner room where the distinguished guests were talking, and Hong Fei extinguished the lantern in his hand.

The inner room is brightly lit, relatively spacious, exquisitely repaired, celebrity calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall in an orderly manner, vases, tables and chairs are all of the highest quality, 'Yu Ji' sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly there was a feeling of 'Zhumen wine and meat smell'.

A cup of hot tea was served, 'Yu Ji' opened the lid of the cup casually, and saw that it was ordinary green tea inside, his brows were tightly locked again, he clearly remembered that Li Zhi had said that this person named Yu Ji was very disgusted with green tea, and only drank plain water when he went out. He said words of apology in his mouth, but his behavior was always tentative.

Yu Ji smiled coldly, overturned the teacup, and the tea mixed with the tea leaves flowed wantonly on the table, "Is Shopkeeper Hong getting older? My memory is getting worse and worse, or is it because I'm just a little person in the villa, and I can't get into the eyes of Shopkeeper Hong?"

Hong Fei's expression was a little subtle, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "What did you say about this?"

'Yu Ji' was full of ridicule, "I remember the last time I came, I said that I only drink plain water and not tea." "'Yu Ji'' gaze stared at Hong Fei tightly, "It seems that the shopkeeper Hong doesn't look down on him, it's just that, I'll show the master another day, and then change to a competent person!"

Hong Fei completely let go of all his doubts, and took a few steps to grab 'Yu Ji', "Distinguished guest stay, it's me who is wrong today, hehe......" Hong Fei smiled stupidly, and at the same time couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, secretly scolding himself for being smart.

'Yu Ji' pretended to be impatient and stopped, and glanced at Hong Fei with a raised eyebrow, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Hong Fei glared at the little guy who was still in a daze, and scolded, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you change a glass of white water for Yu Ye?

After the little guy responded, he hurriedly withdrew to serve the water, and Hong Fei smiled flatteringly, "It's me who is wrong today, you see?"

'Yu Ji' was in a stalemate for a long time, and then sat back, "If it weren't for something to do, I wouldn't have this idle time to spend with you!" 'Yu Ji' reprimanded, so he could cut to the 'main topic', "I came here today on the order of the master to ask about the situation of the distinguished guest in Wei'an City." ”

This sentence is just right, not only does not reveal the situation that you are not aware of, but also can listen to useful information. Hong Fei immediately came to his senses after hearing this, "Please tell the owner for me, everything is going well, that Master Zhou has left the position of their bank." ”

The location of the money village?' Yu Ji raised his eyebrows, could it be that there was money exchange, and after a little thought, he instructed, "Money transactions are not trivial, but you have to be careful, if there is the slightest error, the master, not only is it difficult to explain, but you will also not be able to eat and walk around!"

"That's naturally..."Hong Fei echoed,

At this time, the little maid came up with hot water, and 'Yu Ji' took a sip of the cup and put it down, and then turned the teacup lid casually and said nothing more.

Hong Fei raised his head and glanced at the little guy, thought for a while, and finally understood the intention of 'Yu Ji', and then ordered, "What are you doing standing stupidly, go and bring the account book to Yu Ye to see!"

"Good. The little guy also had a flattering face, and ran out again and again.

After nearly half a pillar of incense, the little guy came back with an account book, and presented it to Hong Fei with both hands, and Hong Fei handed it to 'Yu Ji', who looked at it carefully, and wrote down a few large amounts of transactions with a strong memory, and those large amounts of silver taels all flowed to the mansion of a certain emperor and nobleman in Wei'an City.

After reading it once, 'Yu Ji' returned the account book to Hong Fei, "Judging from the account book, there is no problem, it's just... The highlight is in that distinguished guest, the first time you cooperate, you must not go wrong. ”

Hong Fei stood up and shook repeatedly, "I also ask Master Yu to tell the owner on his behalf, this matter must be cautious and careful, and nothing will go wrong." I wish you all the best if you are waiting to get rich. ”

'Yu Ji' also stood up, "In this way, I will borrow the auspicious words of the shopkeeper Hong, and I will definitely bring your words." ”
