Chapter 1 Revisiting the Ancient Temple and Reminiscing the Dusty Years (7)

In the evening, Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng were in the inn, chatting with guests and friends very frequently, and seemed to be very interested in inquiring about all kinds of news, which was very abnormal compared with ordinary businessmen, usually, if the businessmen who came to stay in the hotel went out to talk about business during the day, and came back at night, they either felt tired and quickly went to the guest room to rest; or they went to drink with their companions or familiar customers and friends to eliminate fatigue, but Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng were very different, they looked for strangers one after another, Small talk as if talking to people is their main business, and business matters are secondary.

After the morning food on the second day, Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng went out of the inn again, and the cold ferret faction secretly followed them, and the tracker found that Li and Zhang did not go to the customer to talk about the silk business, nor did they go to meet friends, but sneakily walked to the opposite side of the "Mingshi Building", they entered a teahouse, sat down at the table by the window on the second floor, called for tea, and stared out the window while drinking tea, and the stalker noticed that the window near Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng happened to be able to monitor the "Mingshi Building" At the gate, it turned out that the two of them were observing the people entering and exiting the "Ming Shi Building".

The stalker returned to the "Mingshi Building" and made a careful report to the cold ferret, who smiled slightly and said to the stalker: "You go and do something else, you don't have to worry about these two people." ”

Leng Xue Mink has already guessed that Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng live in the "Mingshi Building" with ulterior motives, their identities as businessmen are fake, and they live in the "Mingshi Building" to find out the news, and their real identities are detectives.

Cold Ferret decided to count it, and he thought about it. decided to use a clever plan to lure Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng into being fooled, and then use them to open the knife to present a gift to the head of Jia Tianming, and at the same time show that he has managed the "Mingshi Building" effectively.

In the evening, Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng returned to the inn, and they met in the lobby of the inn, an old man and a young man, the old one was over sixty years old, but his body was very strong, and the young one was only seventeen or eight years old, young and lively, and they seemed to be very familiar with the inn.

Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng discovered. The rooms for the old and the young are just diagonally opposite. After entering the guest room for a while, the old and the young went out, and Zhang Sanleng deliberately followed them, wanting to see what they were going out for. I saw the two of them enter a wine shop opposite the "Ming Shi Building". Zhang Sanleng came back to explain the situation he found to Li Debao. Li Debao decided to lead Zhang Sanleng to the wine shop opposite.

After entering the wine shop, Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng found that the old man and the young man were at a table in the ordinary room of the wine store. The two ordered food and were drinking some wine. Li Debao asked Zhang Sanleng to book a first-class private room, he walked over by himself, and said to an old man and a young man: "What a coincidence, the two of them are drinking here, isn't this old man and the young man just living opposite us in the 'Ming Shi Lou'?

The old man said, "Objectively, how can this be embarrassing? You seem to be doing big business, and we are just doing some chores, so how dare you let you have a treat? No, no." ”

Li Debao said: "It's a pleasure to go out and meet each other, we all live in the 'Ming Shi Building', and we live opposite, and we can be regarded as neighbors, eat together, drink some wine, and talk about the day, isn't it a very pleasant thing? ”

The young man next to the old man said: "'Old Jia Tou', let's go over, anyway, this guest officer is so polite, it's good to meet together, hehe, guest officer, then let you break the bank." The young man pulled the old man and followed Li Debao to the private room.

Zhang Sanleng was already in the private room, he got up to greet him, invited the old man and the young man to sit down, Li Debao introduced himself, and also introduced Zhang Sanleng.

The old man said: "Thank you two guest officers, I'm really sorry, let you spend a treat, my surname is Jia, because I am older, young people are called 'Lao Jia Tou', I also think that although this name is a bit strange, but I know that young people are very kind to me called so, so, I am also very happy, this is my little helper, Yu Xiaobao, we are from Qingyuan Mountain, we are coming to the city to buy some food, my old man takes a group of young people to do some kitchen work, can eat with the two big guest officers, very happy!"

Li Debao thought to himself: "It turns out that these two are from Qingyuan Mountain, no wonder they are so familiar with the guys in the 'Ming Shi Building', it turns out that they are all from the Yuanshan faction, great, this time I can take the opportunity to listen to the news." ”

When Zhang Sanleng heard that "Lao Jiatou" and Yu Xiaobao were from Jingyuan Mountain, he asked excitedly: "Great, it turns out that you are ...... Yuanshan." Before the words "Yuanshan faction" could be spoken, he was stopped by Li Debao, who didn't want Zhang Sanleng to say it, because he was afraid that Zhang Sanleng would be too anxious and arouse the suspicion of the "old Jia Tou".

Li Debao stopped him and said, "Sanleng, quickly pour wine for Uncle Jia and Xiaobao, let's toast them." Zhang Sanleng had already realized what Li Debao meant, stopped talking, raised his glass and toasted with Li Debao, and the "old Jia Tou" They also toasted back.

After a few toasts to each other, after a few greetings, the atmosphere became more and more integrated and lively, and then, Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng took turns to toast to the "old Jia Tou", they knew that this "old man" was old, and he must have stayed on Jingyuan Mountain for a long time, and he must have a very good understanding of the situation of the Yuanshan faction, so their goal was to get the "old Jia Tou" drunk, and then ask him about the recent situation of the Yuanshan faction.

"Lao Jia Tou" was really a little drunk, and Yu Xiaobao was busy tasting dishes, and sometimes looked at their lively toasts, but he didn't seem to care too much about Li Debao and Zhang Sanleng frequently toasting to "Lao Jia Tou".

Li Debao asked: "Uncle Jia, look at you like this, you are an old qualified person on Jingyuan Mountain, young people must respect you very much, you must be the most familiar with Jingyuan Mountain, right?"

"Haha, it's not me the old man to brag, I followed the head of the house from Qingyuan Mountain to Jingyuan Mountain, of course it can be said that I am an old qualification, although I am only a kitchen manager, but, who will know more about Jingyuan Mountain? Young people should of course respect me, if they have anything unclear, they will come to ask me 'Lao Jia Tou', every grass and tree on the mountain, a pavilion on the first floor, who will go up the mountain and when, 'Lao Jia Tou' knows in his heart, haha!" "Lao Jia Tou" said proudly.

"'Lao Jia Tou' is very amazing, he is the 'jack of all trades' of Jingyuan Mountain, but he is amazing, happy, he will tell us the story of Jingyuan Mountain, for Jingyuan Mountain;

Zhang Sanleng asked: "Uncle Jia, you must have been very busy in the mountains recently, right? There is a saying that 'the people take food as the sky', eating is the most important thing, you are in charge of the kitchen, if you are not hungry, but it depends on you, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm busy now, the Yuanshan faction has a big deal to do recently, the head of the sect asked me to make more delicious food, so that the brothers can eat well, so that they will be more energetic to do big things, the head of the sect has recently contacted some sects on the rivers and lakes, to do a very big thing, you say, can I not support him? Although the kitchen is doing chores, if the brothers are hungry, can they do great things? 'Old Jia Tou' has no ability to participate in the fight, but,' Lao Jia Tou can kill more cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, so that the brothers can eat well, and they will have more strength to fight, haha!" "Lao Jia Tou" said proudly.

"That's right, your brothers can eat a lot of meat, and they are naturally full of energy, so your credit is great!" Li Debao said, approaching "Old Jia Tou" and raising his wine glass, and said softly: "Senior, I would like to give you a drink, you said that the Yuanshan faction has been doing a big thing recently, you must be very clear, you are the 'know-it-all' of Jingyuan Mountain, and you know things best, what is the big thing?"

"Of course I know that the head of the sect has recently contacted the various sects and is about to ...... "Lao Jia Tou" looked at Li Debao and said: "This matter is confidential, it can't be said, and the head of the house ordered it to be kept secret." He approached Li Debao and whispered: "If I say it, Xiaobao will go back and report, I will deal with it, I can't say it, I can't say it!"

"Senior, I admire you very much, and I also want to learn from you and learn more about the situation, you are a 'jack of all trades', just tell me some important news, and let me be a 'know-it-all'?

"If I sue you, you have to respect me for a few glasses of wine, and you must keep it secret, you are in business, and it doesn't matter much to sue you, but you will definitely sue the government, can you guarantee it?" said Lao Jiatou.

"I absolutely promise not to tell the government, don't worry, there are apprentices who don't listen to the master's words, I respect Xiaobao Sanbenjiu, you find a way to let him go back first, and when he leaves, I will take out the silver and bow to the master, okay?" Li Debao whispered to "Old Jiatou".

Li Debao finished saluting Yu Xiaobao's three glasses of wine, "Lao Jiatou" thought about it, and said to Yu Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, don't drink too much, you go back first, calculate the type of food we want to buy tomorrow, how much silver should be spent, I drank too much, I can't count it, you calculate that I will take a look after I get up tomorrow, go, I will accompany the two guest officers to drink a few more glasses, I am very interested today, you go quickly, obedient!"

Yu Xiaobao is a little too willing, he hasn't eaten it yet, Zhang Sanleng looked at it, raised his wine glass and said: "Xiaobao, come, I'll toast you, drink this cup, you wait a minute, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to get a saltwater duck, you take it back, finish the task assigned by Uncle Jia, you slowly taste duck meat in the guest room!"

Yu Xiaobao was happy and said, "Thank you, officer, great, I'll go back to eat duck meat and wait for 'Lao Jiatou', but you have to let him go back early!" (to be continued......)
