Chapter 83: The Partition Wall Has Ears
What is the deep hatred between the Sun family and the Linxian Inn, and they have to unite these factions to destroy the inn? Could it be that the shopkeeper once offended the Sun family?
Zuo Tianyou thought about it and felt that this possibility was very low, with the character of the shopkeeper, he was smooth and thoughtful, and he could tolerate his worries, and he would definitely not easily provoke a big family like the Sun family.
Then the problem must not be the shopkeeper, it must be that there is something about the inn itself that attracts the Sun family, so they bite it so hard.
However, compared with the Sun family's spirit stone mine, the inn's business is not only the difference between heaven and earth!
However, with the mentality of the Sun family's businessmen, such a big move should still be related to interests, but it is not yet known what the interests they are chasing. Zuo Tianyou stood at the door and carefully analyzed the situation he had just heard, and felt that as long as he figured out what the Sun family wanted, it would be possible for the inn to avoid disaster.
Zuo Tianyou's thoughts were like galloping wild horses, the Sun family, the Xia family, and the Luochuan faction, pondering for a whole circle, and just as he was thinking, a familiar voice came from outside: "Let you entertain guests, what about people?"
As soon as Zuo Tianyou heard this, he knew that it was Shui Haochu who was coming, so he hurriedly pushed the door and walked out and said, "Senior Brother Shui, this junior brother invited me to sit in the inner room." ”
As soon as Shui Haochu saw Zuo Tianyou come out, he came up with a smile on his face and said, "Forgive me! Master has had a lot of miscellaneous things there in the past few days, and I can't get out of it for a while, and I'm too late." Let's go, I'll take you to the upper room to stay, and rest first. After speaking, he led Zuo Tianyou to walk outside the hall.
The main hall of the head of the upper room of Taichu Island is not far away, and after walking through a mountain stream that passes through the hall of the tower, he walked a hundred and ten steps into the depths of the dense forest.
The building has a long history, the tiles on the cornices are covered with dark green moss, and the black paint on the outside door has been a little bulging, and some of them have cracked small openings, revealing the wood grain inside.
Shui Haochu pushed the door in, bypassed a huge stone shadow wall carved with several divine beasts, and came to the courtyard.
Zuo Tianyou was carefully observing the courtyard of this so-called upper room from the door, he found that this courtyard couldn't help but be old, and it was a little disrepaired, standing in the courtyard and looking, the red paint on the window edge had not fallen much, and with a "squeak", the wooden door of one of the rooms opened, and a white-clothed disciple walked out of it, and when he saw Shui Haochu, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Why did Senior Brother Shui come in person!"
Shui Haochu raised his hand and gestured to Zuo Tianyou and said, "This is the honored guest of the head, you can arrange a place to live." After speaking, he hugged his fist at Zuo Tianyou and said: "You rest here first, Zhang Xiaopang has been practicing in retreat with his master for a few days, and in a day or two, he will come to see you." ”
Zuo Tianyou nodded, also hugged his fists and thanked him, and watched Shui Haochu leave, before following the white-clothed disciple to a guest room.
The guest room here looks very dilapidated on the outside, but the interior decoration is quite exquisite, a color of red sandalwood tables and chairs, shelves and a couch, a pot of lush jade grass in the window, which is dotted with spherical purple berries, the slightest aura radiates from the blades of grass, and there is a round flat stone with the size of a small basin on the side table, which looks no different from the rocks in the mountains, but a piece is opened in the middle, revealing the chalcedony inside, and there seems to be a silver light flashing in the chalcedony, but the opening is too small, and I can't see what is the reason.
Zuo Tianyou knew that he might not be able to see Zhang Xiaopang today, but he was no longer in a hurry, pushed the door out, and beckoned the white-clothed disciple who was in charge of the courtyard to fetch water and take a bath.
When the white-clothed disciple heard this, he changed his face from when Shui Haochu was there just now, raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the courtyard and said, "The well is over there, you have to wash yourself and fetch water." ”
Zuo Tianyou was suddenly a little unhappy, and sneered: "If your Senior Brother Shui is here, you dare to prevaricate the guests like this?"
"I am responsible for taking care of the upper room, and I have no obligation to fetch water for the guests!"
Zuo Tianyou was just about to open his mouth to question this disciple, but said in a sharp voice: "Hey, hurry up and serve a pot of tea to our Steward Li!"
When the white-clothed disciple heard this, he immediately smiled all over his face, nodded and replied, "Okay, okay! Steward Li, wait a minute, I'll send it away!"
When Zuo Tianyou heard this, his heart tightened, what?Steward Li? The chief steward of the Sun family who was talking to Elder Yu Chi in the Huoxi Hall just now?
At this time, I saw the white-clothed disciple come out with a large tea tray, and there was a fine porcelain tea set in it.
Zuo Tianyou didn't care about any trivial things at this time, seeing that the white-clothed disciple walked into the room next to him, the moment he opened the door, Zuo Tianyou saw the corner of Li Yuanzhong's cyan silk brocade robe, and he was even more sure of his judgment.
It turned out that Li Yuanzhong arrived here about half an hour earlier than Zuo Tianyou, and occupied two rooms in a row, he lived in one that happened to be next door to Zuo Tianyou's, and the other two domestic servants occupied the other room next to him.
Li Yuanzhong was cunning and cunning, and he knew the importance of going out to do something, plus there was no shortage of spirit stones in his hand, so as soon as he sat down, he took ten medium-grade spirit stones and rewarded the white-clothed disciple, and he immediately cleaned up this guy well, and even asked about the activities of the various elders in the sect.
As soon as the white-clothed disciple saw Zuo Tianyou, he knew that he was not rich in his hands, so ******** were all on Li Yuanzhong, so naturally he didn't have the kung fu to take care of Zuo Tianyou.
Since this old dog of the Sun family is next door, then I must not waste such a great opportunity! Zuo Tianyou quickly found the next step and quickly returned to his room.
