Chapter 555 If you want to make a fuss, make it louder
At this time the lampkeeper came to report:
"Prince Chiyan has arrived and is waiting outside the building."
The Demon Emperor walked back again and looked outside. The night was already deep:
"Call him in."
…
Before the sun goes down, civilians in Lingxu City are finishing their work and returning home one after another, so the main roads and deer carts are experiencing peak passenger traffic.
There are regulations in the city that at Mao hour and Shen hour, that is, one hour each in the morning and evening, only horse (barge animal) carts, deer carts and monsters are allowed to pass through the main street to avoid traffic congestion.
Those who can ride carriages and barges are either rich or noble. To put it bluntly, during these two periods, civilians are restricted from traveling by private cars, and they can only take buses and carts.
The deer cart that He Lingchuan was riding in had forty people crammed into it. Not to mention the seats, there was not even a place to stay. Next to him was an aunt whose length and width were equal, with her head buried directly on his chest.
The joy of being so close to each other during the evening rush hour in my previous life has returned.
The main road is full of cars and horses, and deer carts can only stop and go.
It was only ten miles in total, and the journey lasted for more than half an hour. He Lingchuan finally arrived at the station and struggled to squeeze out of the deer cart.
The aunt behind her looked a little disappointed.
After walking for another quarter of an hour and asking three passers-by, He Lingchuan finally arrived at his destination.
He looked up at the shop sign in front of him:
Songyang Mansion.
The appearance of this branch is bigger and more glamorous than the main headquarters of Songyang Mansion in Shihuan City of Yuan Kingdom. After all, in the prosperous capital of the world, the higher the pomp and style, the higher the status of the guests it attracts.
Entering through the eight opposite doors, you will see a picture of the Wolong River carved on the two-foot-high photo wall. Waterfalls can flow, cranes and birds can fly, and clouds and mist can flow. The majestic river scenery is condensed into one wall.
middle.
The most amazing thing is that it also comes with sound effects.
The waterfalls are like thunder, and the birds are chirping. Although the cycle goes back and forth, the sound is attractive.
Many pedestrians who are passing here for the first time will stop and watch.
Songyang Mansion puts the master's craftsmanship here, which is better than the waiters soliciting customers outside.
He Lingchuan admired this huge screen wall very much. As long as he walked to the back, the prying eyes from outside would be blocked - if there was such a thing.
The waiter came forward with a smile: "This is your first time, sir. May I introduce you?"
There were not many customers in the shop, so He Lingchuan showed off his fang dagger and put it on the table under the wary gaze of the waiter: "This is the knife custom-made for me by Songyang Mansion. It's blunt. I heard that the maker is here, so I came here to sharpen it."
The man looked at the Venom Fang Dagger: "Which master's masterpiece is this?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Take it to the back, and of course someone will recognize it."
The waiter was doubtful and left with the knife in hand.
He Lingchuan looked around in the store, but he was secretly paying attention to the door.
Several guests came in one after another, none of them looked like spies.
About ten breaths later, the waiter hurried back with an even more attentive smile: "Dear guest, please come with me!"
This rudder also sells goods in the front, appraises in the middle, and has a workshop area in the back.
It's just that the front area is the largest, and the middle and back areas are smaller than Shihuan City. That means the front is beautiful, but the back is not that spacious.
After all, this is the main urban area of Lingxu Lower City. Two or three days of rent from this store is enough to cover the expenses of He Chunhua's family of four for the entire month.
He Lingchuan walked up to the second floor of the workshop and saw Li Qingge.
She wore a plain thin blouse with a peach red turban, which perfectly complemented the fiery red five-leaf brocade outside the window.
He Lingchuan couldn't tell whether it was the person in the painting or the painting beside the person.
The guy left quickly.
Li Qingge smiled and said: "Come on, come on, sir, please take a seat!"
He Lingchuan sat down and saw a cup of red drink on the table, as bright as blood.
"Is this for me or for Fu Shanyue?"
"You don't like pomegranate juice?" Li Qingge grabbed half a pomegranate from nowhere and shook it at him. "In this season, the pomegranates in Lingxu City are the sweetest and reddest."
Indeed, the pomegranate seeds in her hand were so red that they turned purple.
By the way, her pretty face is also rosy.
He Lingchuan saw her open a paper bag and pour the light yellow powder inside into a cup.
this?
He almost looked straight in his eyes: "You're just going to add more stuff to my face?" Are you too lazy to cover it up?
"What are you thinking about?" Li Qingge chuckled, "This is orange powder, add it to make it more flavorful. Do you want to try it?"
What kind of juice does a man drink? He Lingchuan picked it up and took a sip: "Yeah, okay." It's so sweet, I don't like it.
"How are you, Sir, and Shi Er?"
He, Li Qingge, and Master Shi Er separated in Tai'an City of Chiyan Kingdom. The two groups continued to march to Lingxu City, and he went to investigate the case for Fu Shanyue.
"It's great. As expected, the journey has been peaceful since I separated from you."
When she came to such a conclusion, He Lingchuan could only smile bitterly.
That seems to be the case.
"Master Shi Er is still in Lingxu City, have you seen him?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Not yet."
"Want me to tell you?"
"No need. It's better for him not to get involved in my affairs now." The head of Shi Er knew part of He Lingchuan's origins. Now he is being closely watched by Bai Ziqi. It would be bad if Shi Er was followed by others.
He Lingchuan took out a small brocade flag from the storage ring: "In a few days, please Sir, please give this flag to Shi Er, and he will naturally understand."
When he left the Demon Nest Swamp in search of a caravan heading to Lingxu City, he made an agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce. When he arrived at Lingxu City, he would hand over Zhu Erniang's pass to them. From then on, the Shimen Chamber of Commerce could pass through the Demon Nest Swamp and act as an agent.
The burrowing spider has its own business.
However, there were many changes along the way, and He Lingchuan even separated from the Shimen caravan in Tai'an Town of Chiyan Kingdom. Now that he is already in Lingxu City, he is about to complete the agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.
Li Qingge didn't ask any more questions, took the flag and put it away, sighing: "Are you afraid of troublesome Shi Er, aren't you afraid of troublesome me?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Songyang Mansion has a store here, and I'm here to buy things."
Li Qingge kept looking at him: "I have also heard about Mr. He's actions in Baisha."
"So fast?" He Lingchuan was very happy. This was not the Kite Kingdom, but Li Qingge was still well informed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For him who is unfamiliar with this place, this is a good thing.
"Zhongsun Mou disappeared in Baishaqiang, Da Sinong's son-in-law was arrested, and Qingfu Temple was burned to the ground. Rumors have spread throughout Lingxu City in the past few days." Li Qingge said with a smile, "You and me
Let me tell you, are these things related?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan did not elaborate, "How much do you know about the details of Zhongsun Mou's disappearance?"
"What I heard is that Zhongsun Mou was kidnapped by a monster in Baishaqiang. The monster was Cen Boqing's man."
"What else?" He Lingchuan nodded, "Did you mention me?"
"Hmm - no." Li Qingge thought for a while, "What I heard is that Zhong Sunmou wanted to handle this case as a spy case, but was blocked by Prince Chiyan in every possible way. As for you, a great hero,
Invisible."
What kind of person is He Lingchuan, and how can he be qualified to be put on the gossip stage of Lingxu City?
"Let me tell you, this is a good thing for you." Ordinary people should stay away from the whirlpool in the imperial capital.
"Where did your lordship get this information?"
"Everyone knows." Li Qingge said amusedly, "Why, you still want to inquire about my source of information?"
Young Master He has always been a very sensible person.
"There are always many versions of rumors." Especially for such a big melon.
Li Qingge said meaningfully: "From beginning to end, I have only heard this statement."
"Then maybe someone spread it deliberately so that they can all agree on it."
"Who knows?" Li Qingge adjusted his sitting posture and looked even more lazy.
"So, the Zhongsun family may not know that there is a person like me?"
"It's hard to say. Didn't Zhongsun Mou take his attendants to Baisha Qiang?"
"some."
"If these attendants return to Lingxu City, the festival between you and Zhongsun Mou will be hidden." Li Qingge picked out a pomegranate seed and put it in his mouth, "Are you afraid that they will cause trouble for you?"
"I would like to ask your lordship for a favor." He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Let them know that I have arrived in Lingxu City."
Li Qingge's cheeks froze, and his eyes looked over in surprise.
He Lingchuan's answer was really beyond her expectation.
"You still want to inform them?"
The Zhongsun family still has some foundation in Lingxu City.
"Yes." He Lingchuan asked her, "Will it be difficult?"
"It can be done, but in the process of transmitting the message, others may know it."
He Lingchuan frowned.
Li Qingge thought he felt embarrassed, but unexpectedly He Lingchuan then raised his hands and smiled and said: "Wonderful, Sir, what a wonderful reminder! It would be best for everyone in Lingxu City to know it! Why didn't I think of it before?"
If you want to make a fuss, make it louder.
Li Qingge put down the pomegranate and said seriously: "Young Master, playing with fire is dangerous."
"I have been in a crisis for a long time. If I step back, I will be in the abyss." He Lingchuan also restrained his smile, "The more public this matter is, the more people know about me, the safer I will be."
He thought again: "How is Zhongsun Mou's reputation in Lingxu City?"
Li Qingge covered his mouth and smiled and said: "His great-grandfather Zhongsun Chi was still very famous. In his early years, he persuaded Bejia to surrender two water tribes, which greatly increased the underwater power of Lingxu City. But in Zhongsun Mou's generation
Well, he’s just an ordinary official’s son, nothing outstanding.”
A fish-man swimming in the water was named "Chi". He Lingchuan thought it was really interesting.
"Zhongsun Mou was also appointed as an inspection envoy." He Lingchuan didn't know enough about the official system of Lingxu Kingdom, but when he saw Zhongsun Mou holding this title, even Fu Shanyue didn't dare to kill him easily.
If Mai Xuewen, a fugitive, hadn't taken action, Zhongsun Mou could have walked away in Baishaqiang.
"If a child from an official family wants to be an official, how can he do it without a resume?" Li Qingge has done in-depth research on Lingxu City. "Three or four hundred years ago, the inspector would have been the emperor's confidant or the supervisor, who would go out to inspect the local area.
, understand the sentiments of the people, and test the policy program to prevent bureaucrats from deceiving the emperor; but the greater the power of the inspector, the more disputes he intervenes in, and the less trustworthy the emperor is about it. Today, the inspector is just a false title, and the emperor has long been
