Chapter 12 Bai Xiaosheng of Yangshan Town
Lin Yan walked out of the gate of the Lin family, this was the first time he went down the mountain. Although he was still young and alone, Lin Yan was not worried about the dangers of the outside world at all, his curiosity was far greater than the fear in his heart.
Lin Yan has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his body is far beyond ordinary people, and he used his internal strength to hurry, and Lin Yan came to the town at the foot of the mountain in an hour, Yangshan Town, after a normal half-day journey.
Although Yangshan Town is just a small town, it is far away from the imperial capital and belongs to the place where the emperor is far away, and it is also very prosperous because it is backed by deep mountains and has all kinds of outsiders who come here to do business.
Lin Yan came to the door of this town, looking at the merchants coming and going, and the bustling small traders selling along the street, he suddenly felt a worldly aura rushing towards his face, which he had never felt when he was cultivating in the Lin family.
Lin Yan's Tai Chi exercises were very sensitive to breath, and he clearly felt an emotion that he had never experienced before, this may be freedom, Lin Yan thought to himself.
He walked into the streets of the town, looked east and west, and was very curious about what he saw, Lin Yan had no resistance to all kinds of snacks on the street, and would buy some to taste each one.
Before leaving, Lin Aotian gave him enough loose silver, and these roadside snacks were only the price of a few copper plates, Lin Yan was in contact with worldly things for the first time, and he didn't know these, he paid according to his own taste. If you think it's delicious, you'll give it more, and if you think it's not delicious, you'll only take out a little silver, but this amount of silver is enough for a small trader to earn a lot in a day.
Lin Yan came all the way and walked around for a long time, in addition to the luggage he originally carried, those small traders saw that he was so generous, and some of the more good-hearted traders packed all the food they had left for Lin Yan to load, so that Lin Yan had no time to continue shopping, so he had to find an inn to stay temporarily, put down his things, and free up his hands.
There happened to be a relatively large inn on the side of the road, and Huang Boying told Lin Yan that if you want to stay in a hotel when you go out, you must find the more luxurious the decoration, the better, because the smaller the inn, the easier it is to be a black store, especially in the land of Bashu.
Jixiang Inn is also one of the best inns in Yangshan Town, Lin Yan looked at the four-character plaque of "Jixiang Inn", and also knew that the scale of this store was not small.
Walking towards the store, there was already a shopkeeper at the door who saw Lin Yan standing at the door with a big bag and looking around, and he didn't mean to look down on him because he was a child, seeing Lin Yan walking towards the store, he hurriedly greeted him, helped Lin Yan push the door open, and said, "This son, please be there inside." Then he shouted to the inside, "One honored guest!"
When Lin Yan walked into the store, someone from the hall came over to pick up Lin Yan's luggage, and asked, "Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Lin Yan looked around and found that this inn not only looked big on the outside, but also on the inside, and there were dozens of tables that didn't look crowded at all. "Eat noodles, open a room for me, and send them when the noodles are ready. ”
The runner agreed, "Okay, the noodles will be good immediately, please come with me." ”
Lin Yan followed to a room on the second floor, and after entering the room, the noise in the hall on the first floor stopped abruptly, Lin Yan nodded and said, "Not bad, put things on the table for me." ”
"Okay, this boy, you wait, the meeting will be there soon. The runner put Lin Yan's luggage away, and Lin Yan took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the runner. The runner took the money, turned and walked out, closing the door.
Although Lin Yan ate a lot of snacks along the way, but these Lin Yan were all superficial, Lin Yan used his internal strength to hurry along the way, and he was also a little hungry, when he was at home, his favorite food was the noodles that Aunt Ying made for him.
Take a trip to bed, and finally you can take a break. After a while, there was a knock on the door, "Guest officer, you want a face." "It's still the same running hall just now, with a bowl of steaming noodles.
"Yes, put it on the table. ”
"Haoler, guest officer, you use it slowly. ”
The runner put away his noodles and was about to turn around and go out, when Lin Yan suddenly said, "Wait, I'll ask you something." Lin Yan was going to ask
When the runner heard this, he said: "This master, there is a Bai Xiaosheng living in our inn, if you want to know anything, I can help you introduce it, there are almost nothing in this town that he doesn't know." ”
Ran Tang had his own calculations in his heart, he made money by pulling business for that Bai Xiaosheng, so before Lin Yan could ask anything, he directly recommended Bai Xiaosheng to Lin Yan in order to get a kickback.
Lin Yan originally only planned to ask where there was fun in the town, but after listening to Runtang's words, he said, "Okay, you can call him over." ”
"Well, wait a minute. ”
Chen Ming, who grew up in Yangshan Town since he was a child, has a wide range of contacts, and everyone called him Chen Ming at first. This person is also a little clever, using his social circle to slowly develop into a news monger, and now he has his own news channel.
However, his business has not been very good lately, and his news is mainly sold to those who come to the town to do business, so he buys almost all the inn tavern juniors, promising them that if outsiders buy news from him, these juniors will get a commission. Recently, it is the off-season, there are not many businessmen, Chen Ming is good at gambling, and he has lost a lot recently.
Just when Chen Ming was worried at home, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, went out to take a look, and found that it was a message from the guy from the Jixiang Inn to himself, saying that there was business coming to the door, Chen Ming was overjoyed, dressed up, and walked towards the Jixiang Inn.
Lin Yan finished eating noodles and was lying bored on the bed. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, "This is it." The voice of the shopkeeper came from outside.
"Dangdangdang" knocked on the door. "Come in. Lin Yan said lazily.
Chen Ming pushed open the door and shook it for a moment, the shopkeeper only told him that he had business, but he didn't expect it to be a young man in his teens. Chen Ming said secretly, which young master should this be, he didn't dare to underestimate it, walked into the house, and gently closed the door.
"The contemptible surname is Chen, it is Bai Xiaosheng in this Yangshan Town, I heard that this little young master wants to know some news, there is nothing in this town that I Chen does not know, but I want to collect some silver to support my family. ”
Lin Yan didn't pay attention to the silver, he just felt that this thing was in the house, and he didn't care, so he asked, "The silver is fine, how much do you want?"
Chen Ming rolled his eyes and said, "It depends on what you ask." ”
Lin Yan turned over and got up, took the silver ticket out of his bag, and said while taking it: "What's the lively place in this Yangshan Town, where is it fun nearby?" Before the words fell, he took one from a thick pile of silver tickets and handed it to Chen Ming, "Is it enough?"
Chen Ming's gaze could no longer be separated from the thick pile of silver tickets, and a bold thought arose in his heart.
The husband is not guilty, a child with so many silver tickets, he killed people and goods, took the money, and then used his network to leave Yangshan Town unconsciously, and the family to which the child belonged could not find himself. As for the government, Chen Ming didn't pay attention to it, and the government here didn't care about it at all.
Just when Chen Ming had a killing intent, Lin Yan saw that his eyes were straight, he didn't answer himself, and took out another silver ticket, "Hey, this time it's enough." ”
This time, Chen Ming reacted and hurriedly said, "Enough, enough." It just so happens that I know there's a place in town that's so interesting that you've never seen it before, I'm sure you've never seen it before. ”
When Lin Yan heard this, it was exactly what he wanted, "Then tell me where I am, I want to see and see." ”
Chen Ming hurriedly said, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do, I'll take you over now." ”
"Okay, let's go. After speaking, Lin Yan turned around to leave, Chen Ming saw the silver ticket package he didn't bring, and said, "This young master, your package is here?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Chen Ming whispered: "This store is not very safe, I advise you to take it with you." ”
Lin Yan didn't think about it so much, and said, "It's okay." Picking up the package from the table and sling it on his back, "Let's go." ”
"Okay, young master, come with me. ”
