Volume Two, Participation in the World, Chapter 40: Encounter at the Inn
Chapter 40 Meeting at the Inn
"Son, here I come, old man."
In the lobby of Anxin Inn, Feng Yu followed Mr. Xu here, and the horses were tied outside. Hearing the sound from the backyard, a middle-aged man wearing an apron came out. There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he looked like he was working hard on weekdays.
"Dad, you're finally here. It's been a few days since the flood started. If you hadn't come, my mother and the rest of us would have died of panic."
"My legs and feet are not flexible. Please walk slower."
"Daddy is here." Two women, one older and one younger, came behind them, and they were holding a little boy, about three years old.
"You stubborn old man, you refused to listen even if I told you not to do any work in the village. You must have experienced the consequences now."
The middle-aged man saw a young man standing next to him and thought he was staying at the hotel. "Hello, sir, are you staying at the hotel or eating?"
Feng Yu had been standing for a long time, watching the family talking, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt.
"I~"
"Oh, I met this little brother on the way. He was going to the west to find relatives. He happened to be staying in Huzhou for two days, so I brought him to him. If he hadn't given me the horse, I wouldn't be here now.
."
"In that case, then stay here with us. Floods have trapped people and bandits are stealing money. There won't be many guests coming to stay in these days. There are still many rooms. You can choose your own, sir. We don't charge you any money."
Just feel free to eat and drink well."
"Thank you, shopkeeper, but you still have to pay for the accommodation, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to stay here."
"Little brother, don't think I don't know. You have sent a lot of money to the refugees along the way. Why don't you keep some money for yourself and send it out?"
"Gifts are gifts, business is business, you and your family can't lose money because of me."
The woman who was holding the child came up with a compromise, "How about giving the young master a 50% discount and only taking half of it? We won't be counting on it. We are just guests. Since we have this opportunity, it is fate."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Thank you madam, but the four shopkeepers who came later don't have to be polite." His voice then turned lower, "I'm rich."
Later, Mr. Xu also laughed and explained what happened at the city gate just now.
Feng Yu chose a room on the top floor at the back. The window faced the sun and could also see the street across the street. It had a wide view. After cleaning up, he was going to go downstairs to get water to wash his face. As soon as he walked out of the door, he didn't expect to meet him again.
The adult who stared at him at the city gate unexpectedly lived next door to him. Su Ci also happened to catch Feng Yu's gaze, "It's you again. The name on the register is Feng Yu, right? I'm the Mirror Division."
Young Envoy Su Ci, I hope you are not the person I am looking for, otherwise even if you have great martial arts skills, I will not let you go easily." After saying that, he opened the door and walked in without any concern. Feng Yu simply felt baffled.
.At first I was a little curious about this handsome appearance, but I didn’t expect that he was a psychopath.
It is getting dark. Due to the disaster, there are no customers coming to eat. The vegetable shopkeepers in the market only buy a little every day. They are afraid that some refugees will not be able to get enough. They have no intention of doing business these days, so they just concentrate on their business.
I put everything on my family, and it is a great show of filial piety for my father to finally come here.
There were only two tables for dinner. Feng Yu was invited to the Xu family's table to eat with himself. The four people from the Mirror Division sat at a table by themselves. Since there were only two tables, they were too lazy to bother, so they simply stayed in the yard behind, just across the street.
Take a few steps.
Both sides were eating heavily. After all, they had traveled all day. During the meal, the man at the next table asked: "Shopkeeper, have you noticed anything suspicious in Huzhou these days?"
Someone?"
Shopkeeper Xu had nothing to fear. He had never offended anyone in his honest duty, so he just said it bluntly, "That's not true, but I only follow the two-point-one-line route every day. These two streets, Huzhou City is so big, I
How many people can I see there? Wouldn't it be more convenient for a few adults to go to the state capital to check for this kind of thing? These days, you can only come in by registering."
The man snorted, "Huh, I've been there today. The officials in Huzhou are not good people. They talk erratically. Who knows if there may be collusion between officials and gangsters. Even if it is on the registration book, I probably won't be able to tell."
What's the matter? "The man doesn't give any face at all.
Feng Yu took a bite of green vegetables and asked: "Since the money was robbed outside the city, why do you suspect that the gangsters will enter Huzhou City? Wouldn't it be better to run away after the robbery?"
The gentleman with a lower official position smiled and said, "Of course we know this. When the case was reported to the capital, the officers and soldiers from the surrounding cities had already conducted a careful investigation. We came over and made a general inquiry. There was a lot of money for disaster relief and it was heavy. Outside the city
Being robbed, if you want to transport it away, you must take the official road. It has been raining heavily in the past few days, but there is no trace left on the other roads, and there are no traces of goods and carriage transportation. There are only some clues in the direction of Lincheng. However, if you want to hide it,
How could it be possible with the eyes of the Mirror Division? The most dangerous place is the safest place. After we traveled day and night to explore, we found that it was just a cover to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Time is very tight. If we go to other places, it is impossible to reach it.
It must still be on the way, and none of the checkpoints have found it. It should not escape. The most likely possibility is that it has returned to Huzhou."
"As expected of a high-ranking official in the capital, he is really powerful. I hope you can produce gangsters as soon as possible and restore peace to Huzhou. After all, this money is of great significance to the people today." Shopkeeper Xu raised his hand and toasted with a glass of wine.
, very much appreciated.
Su Ci and Ling Chen did not stop him, or they deliberately asked him to speak so clearly and in detail. During these words, Su Ci and Ling Chen kept staring at Feng Yu, trying to distinguish Feng Yu's emotions and psychology through their mistakes.
.However, it is a pity that although I was surprised by the investigative ability of the Mirror Division, it did not have much impact, as if it was none of his business, which also made the two of them a little helpless.
After having a full meal, Feng Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to the Xu family: "I'm full. The food is delicious. My wife is very good at cooking. Shopkeeper Xu is very lucky."
"Young Master Feng, just enjoy your meal. You are a kind man and young and strong. It would be better if you eat more."
"That's enough, then I'll go back to the room first. Shopkeeper, you eat slowly."
When he turned around and went upstairs, he suddenly stopped. Feng Yu didn't look back, and said lightly without any tone, "I know some of the adults have great ideas, otherwise they wouldn't have said so much, but it's a pity, the bait
It was released, but it was put in the wrong pond. There are no fish here. I’m sorry.”
The four people stood up immediately. Unexpectedly, their little thoughts were seen through at a glance. This boy who looked to be only twenty years old was definitely not simple. Both his control of his emotions and his attitude towards dealing with others were far beyond their imagination.
.
Su Ci opened his mouth and said, "I was offended just now. It's our fault. I hope Mr. Feng will forgive me." Feng Yu didn't say much after hearing this and was walking upstairs. Who knew that the envoy added another sentence, "But
, since Mr. Feng knows where his relatives are and is going to look for them, he probably doesn’t care about waiting a little longer. Why don’t you come with us to drink and talk in the past few days?”
Feng Yu has been in the human world for so many years, and has long since passed the thought and impulse of his own accord. Knowing that they still doubt him, he doesn't bother to argue anymore. The injury has not healed, so it is best to avoid disputes and save many things.
The shopkeeper and others caused trouble. In the end, without saying anything, he stopped and walked towards the room again.
The Xu family didn't quite understand what the two sides were saying from beginning to end, so they could only eat obediently and choose not to participate.
Just when Feng Yu opened the door, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at Su Ci with a smile: "Master Su, since you want to have a drink and have a good time, Feng will accompany you. However, the expenses have been exhausted. If Mr. Su
If you don’t mind, why don’t you pay for the remaining few days of food and room payment for me.”
Su Ci's eyes widened, "You! Is it true that the money from being an official is so useful!" He rolled his eyes and wanted to teach him a lesson, "The court didn't give him that much money. If you want it,
You can go to Huzhou Prefecture to get it yourself, and I will write a certificate for you, how about it?"
Feng Yu had a smile on his face and his eyes were as bright as lightning, which surprised a few people below. They thought he was good-looking at first, but they didn't expect that he looked even prettier when he smiled, "Mr. Su, how can you say that? You came to Huzhou specifically to check.
The person who committed the crime may be calling the thief to catch the thief, but he has nowhere to spend the money in his pocket. After all, he has so much money in his hand, which is so heavy. I will just help you reduce the burden a little." After that, he turned around and entered the room, closing the door.
Door, no more sound.
"You!" How could Su Ci not understand what Feng Yu said? He was clearly dissatisfied with her suspicion of him just now and took the opportunity to retaliate against himself. He was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.
"Sir Su, do we really have to help him pay the bill?"
"What can I do if I don't pay? If I don't pay, won't it really become the thief in his mouth? Catch the thief! Feng Yu, just wait for me!"
