Immortal Devil Transformation

Chapter 21: 17 Lane 1 Port 3 City

In the early summer, it rained on the banks of the Son River, and in the twilight, a brisk rain of flowers fell.

Wearing a black silk shirt, his hair tied with grass rope, a rough man in a pair of open toe grass shoes, Park Feng sat in a small shop famous for selling pancakes and making a tea business, slowly eating an oil cake.

A middle-aged man in a blue shirt who looked like a bookkeeper walked in with a black cloth umbrella, nodded at him and sat down in front of him.

“The other party took it, but let the wind out, saying that the 3,000 taels were compensation from Master Zhu to Old Man Mo's business, so sorry.” The middle-aged man in a green shirt like Mr. Tent's was a bit of a dead face. He grabbed an oil cake from the plate and ate it himself, without feeling * colorful whispering.

“It's too tough. It's 3,000 taels, not 30 taels.” Park Feng's eyebrows frowned and he said, “How about the prick he saw Zhang Ju 'an? ”

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt with the appearance of the account room still said in a heavy manner: “Zhuang Ju 'an said, he is a harsh character, he did not even wrinkle his eyebrows, he must have seen blood and the dead... Zhuang Ju 'an also said, the other party did not even talk much, giving him the feeling that he had just come out as an official, but it seems that he has been doing an old hunt for Wang Yang bandits for five or six years. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, “Okay, let Xiang Lu go tomorrow? ”

Park Feng nodded.

The middle-aged man grabbed half of the unfinished pancakes and asked softly, "How is Master Zhang's body? ”

When asked, he had a real colour of concern on his face, which was as dead as a riverside twilight.

Park Feng glanced at his back and said, “It's terrible. ”

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt with the look of the bookroom stopped asking questions and shrunk his neck and was ready to walk into the rain.

“There's a chance to send some wind over there to Lord Xiaolin's ear. ”

At this point, Park Feng said softly, then muttered to himself: “To make Donggang Town cleaner, it depends on your courage and ability to wash the real black water off the beach. ”

Park Feng, who has no fame in Donggang Town, is really one of the most powerful backbones of Master Zhu's men. Rugged in appearance, he has utterly inconsistent words and detailed thoughts. He is like a black fish hidden in the mud and sand during the weekdays of the Qiuzijiang River. The water waves are not visible on weekdays, but it is very dangerous for shrimp crabs.

He just didn't know that the middle-aged man who was supposed to be as loyal to Master Zhu's tent-like green shirt as he was, after eating half a slice of oil cake in the rain, walked into another alley in a normal wine restaurant.

Then the middle-aged man in the blue shirt with the still dripping umbrella lifted a draped cloth curtain from the winery and walked to the back seat.

To the man in the chair covered with bamboo curtains, the middle-aged man in the dead blue shirt simply said directly: “Master Zhang's body is terrible. Master Zhu and Park Feng already want to blow the wind. ”

“Well, I didn't think I'd be here for two days, and this is an interesting thing.” The laughter of a young man inside came out, "Let's see what happens tomorrow... if this capture is really something, then let's blow the wind. ”

……

……

“My lord, you may have gone too far with this. ”

In a corridor near the river, Du Weiqing looked sadly at Lin Yue: “These 3,000 taels are also a good number for Master Zhu. Those black oils under his hands don't know how long it will take to earn so much silver back under the sun. If you do not quietly and secretly accept them, you will give him real benefits in the future. Whether this is used to scare the adult or to buy the adult for real, he and those under him will still feel worthy, but the adult directly said that the 3,000 taels are used to compensate the old man of Namo, which is equivalent to directly saying that Master Zhu gave in to you, bowing his head. This is difficult for them to accept more than 3,000 taels. ”

Lin Xi turned her head slightly, looked at Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi, and looked at the far row of Linjiang suspended pavilion in the rain fog. She smiled slightly. "Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi, do you know why I only let you two lead the way, but not others? ”

Du Weiqing, who is already frosty, and Liang Sansi, who is fenghua Zhengmao, were both stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.

“Subordinates do not know.” Du Weiqing shook his head quickly.

“I let you lead the way because you have the guts.” Lin Xi glanced at him and said peacefully: “Before I asked him about Xu Ling and Liu Copper, you knew Xu Ling had completely pissed me off. If he changed people, he was afraid that his boss's anger would involve him, naturally he could say less, but you dared to speak up and explain a lot. You have the audacity, and you say so much, just to help Xu Ling, and to remind me not to be too cheerful, so my judgment is that you are human and loyal. ”

After a slight meal, Lin Xi turned to Liang San-thinking, and continued: “As for you, Liang San-thinking, I can see that you are dissatisfied with Xu Xianling and Liu Copper, and I can't see how dissatisfied I am from your eyes. Instead, I am just worried and suspicious. So you should also be a decent person, but the position is too low to change anything. ”

Looking at the two people who were stunned and silenced, Lin Xie continued: “In fact, I have never had many ideas of upper and lower ranks, but I'm afraid you won't dare to think of me as a friend. Naturally, whether it's a genuine ten or a genuine one, you always need some heart. I know almost nothing about Donggang Town, and I need someone to help me get some news and tell me some ways, otherwise I don't know how much energy to waste. ”

“Honestly, my lord, I can already conclude that you are not the kind of calf that doesn't work.” Du Weiqing hesitated slightly and smiled bitterly: “But the adults really want to manage all the trouble around Donggang town, the official rank of the arrest is really too small. ”

Lin Xi was not angry, but smiled slightly. “Of course I understand that you have doubts, but do you dare to bet? ”

“A bet?” Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi looked at each other and did not know what Lin Xie meant at once.

“I want you to do my job with all your heart.” Lin Xi smiled and looked at the two people. "I have also read the relevant records of the two of you. The home of the two of you in Donggang Town can only be considered ordinary, so even if there is some oil and water, it is estimated that some of the people above have taken the head off, and you can only subsidize one or two. Anyway, you can put out a bad attitude towards me, but secretly you really help me, and it shouldn't have any effect on you, but I can guarantee that in the future, neither of you will necessarily be just me in this position of arrest. How dare you bet? ”

“My lord, since you have steel bones, even if it doesn't do you any good, I will definitely die.” Liang Sansi took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xie and said.

Du Weiqing smiled bitterly. “My lord, you are telling the truth, but it really gave me some confidence. Of course I'll take this unfair bet. ”

Lin Xi's eyes revealed a glimmer of admiration and smiled slightly: “In that case, please take me to the small building that Master Zhu wanted first. I will ask the old man Namo if he can rent my room. ”

“What?”

Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi were surprised at the same time, "Sir, do you not live in Zhulan Lane? ”

According to Yun Qin Law, local officials have public residences according to official rank, wait for promotion or exchange upon separation. If damage is done, they have to renovate their own. Most of the public residences in Donggang Town are in Zhulan Lane. There are sergeants patrolling all night. It is the safest, and it is easy to cultivate feelings with other officials. Unless the family has a large population, they cannot really live, they will only move to other places. However, Lin Xin is only alone, and this is also obvious if they want to rent in that small building.

Lin Xi smiled slightly: “Although Master Zhu claims to have acted with some measure, even if it doesn't immediately embarrass me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others, especially the expatriate. Besides, people like Master Zhu have missed the small building of old Mo. I'm sure the view of the small building is wonderful. ”

Du Weiqing knew that Lin Xi had thought very carefully, so he wouldn't dissuade him. He just led the way while explaining: “That small building is excellent. Mo's ancestors had left the two masters, and the small building passed down was deliberate. Not only is the whole small building built of Nanwood, but also a large beam is still yellow flower pear wood, but the river also built a platform courtyard with stone, facing the open river view, opposite the river bank is a hill, it is full of almond flower trees, when the almond flowers blossom, the platform view there is really excellent, many civil servants have retained Mupo there. It is said that Master Zhu had already bid 4500 taels, but old Mo had a bad temper. He said that even if he rented one or two rooms, it would be filthy of the culture in the building. It is estimated that this phrase completely annoyed Master Zhu. ”

Lin Xi nodded and asked peacefully: "Peace of mind, what do you think of Master Zhu and these people? ”

“His men were proud, fighting hard, and hurting a lot of people.” Du Weiqing muttered carefully, fearing that some of his words would give Lin Xi some wrong judgment: "But usually he hardly bothered the townspeople, it was the kind of bully who only robbed the river of business evil. So this time he forced the Mo old man's building, a lot of people thought it was the Mo old man who hurt him. ”

“Is there anyone up there?” Lin Xi smiled and asked.

Du Weiqing shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Master Zhang has said before that they do not take a boat with one or two people, so that it is easiest to go over the boat with one or two people. The meaning of this phrase is very clear to everyone, is that the Son River has been there, and the big boats are not always there, and the officials are usually running water at any time or will collapse. Exactly because of the division, Donggang Town and its officials changed so many shipments over the years, but they are still the ones in charge of black oil and stone rats. ”

“My lord, Xu Jianping said it was incomplete.” At this time, Liang Sansi interjected: “Master Zhang and Master Zhu are not only dealing with black oil and stone mice in Donggang Town, but with most of the black oil and stone mice from this upstream town of Tongmu to our Donggang Town. ”

“It doesn't matter how much black oil and stone rats are, the key is how many really powerful people are.” Lin Xi glanced at Liang and asked softly: “Are there any practitioners in them? ”

“Practitioner? Do you think..." Liang Sansi and Du Weiqing were both fiercely shocked, their eyes all focused on Lin Xie.

Lin Xi was proud of his divine colour and could not see any end ni.

“Master Zhang is said to be a practitioner, the rest is unknown.” Du Weiqing took a deep breath and slowed down his voice, but his inner sensation of cold silk continued to spread in his body. As quickly as he did, he naturally couldn't connect Lin Xi with students at Imperial Three University Colleges. He just thought, if Lin Xi was so young as to be a practitioner, it would be too hard to imagine.

“A practitioner?” Lin Xi slightly frowned and glanced at Du Weiqing: “Tell me about the specific situation in Donggang Town. ”

Du Weiqing nodded, "In accordance with the rules we have been carrying out house hunting for so many years, this Donggang town is generally divided into three major cities in Lane 17. ”

“Alley 17 refers to the 17 most adjacent alleys. The more our Donggang town is adjacent to the river, the more dense, overlapping and complex the houses and pavements are. One port is the eastern port of Greater East, where the bulk of the goods are loaded and unloaded, and where merchant ships of various trade names are parked. The three major cities are Fish Market, North and South Freight Market and Riverside Night Market. ”

“Apart from these places, which are home to some of the old townspeople of Donggang Town, there is normally nothing but the rare cases of adultery and unequal division of brothers and relatives in decades. ”

“In addition to Master Zhu and others in charge of labor and the sandstone business, there are also many fat people in the fish market. Many of these people are from fish houses and fishmongers in the river, dare to move the knife, and the harpoon is thrown accurately. Most of the gambling places in the North and South freight markets and Donggang Town are under the control of Old Ning. Old Ning has Fan Jingfang who specializes in putting water money, that is, putting shark loans in the casino, but often forces some people to lose money. The night market is mainly the night fish restaurant, the flower mill kiln, and some ancient objects trading. This place was originally owned by Liu Beiwang, but since the opening of the Silver Hook Fang, Liu Beiwang is said to go inside the Silver Hook Fang to get a bite to eat. The owner of this Silver Hook Fang is Tongmu Township, his last name is Gao, I don't know what way to go. ”

Since becoming a practitioner, Lin Xi's perception of some of the subtleties around him has become more acute, and he has learned more from Hana Lonely Moon. At this moment, he obviously felt that Du Weiqing had some desire to stop when talking about Silver Hook Fang. Then he turned to look at Du Weiqing and said: “Do you seem to have something else to say about this silver hook shop? ”

Du Weiqing hesitated slightly, still said, "This silver hook factory was at best a high-end kiln, but many wealthy traders in the river often went in. Some suspected that it had something to do with the disappearance of several people and girls in upstream towns, but they couldn't find any evidence, so they could only do it. ”

“Is it possible, then, that there may be a robbery of a virtuous woman for prostitution?” Lin Xi was slightly flashed and his footsteps had to be paused.

“If there is, then this silver hook shop must have started off hugely.” Du Weiqing took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xie: “My lord, you also understand that this is a heinous crime that involves many people beheading. ”

Lin evening nodded, looking at the surface of the river in the light rain ahead and the porch dripping with water.

He is not afraid of the accident, not only because Master Zhu is at best a bandit, but he is an official and, most importantly, his backstage is very hard.

From the same place as Dean Zhang, he naturally knows that in the official field, the people above are the most important.

He was a student of Qingyu College, and he knew that the elder princess would pay due attention to him, so he didn't have to worry about how big a basket he stabbed, not to mention the fact that he had a human face in the Yuhua family.

So in his conversation with Peng Xiaofeng, he said that he counted as a small fish, the rest of the people here, can only count as shrimp rice.

The only ones who can pose a threat and real trouble to him are the big golden spoons of Thundering College and Qingyan College, but he has powerful abilities that even Gao Yanan doesn't know about, so he doesn't even care, just let go.

If something like that really exists here, Lin Xie consciously comes here, it's really worth it.

This Donggang town is as picturesque as some Jiangnan famous towns, and the vast majority of the timber buildings in Yunqin need to use Tong Oil. The Tong Oil business on the river does not know how long it will last. This Donggang town will certainly not only be so busy today.

The less unpleasant this place is, the prettier it is, the more comfortable and comfortable it is to be in it.

Dean Zhang did so many things on that day, I'm afraid it was also because he was uncomfortable, can't see.

……

……

Wang Mu carefully cut several green bamboo pieces under the porch of the small building.

Suddenly he stood up slightly and bowed to the rain. "Lord Lin, what are you doing here? ”

“Heard the view of this small building is incredibly beautiful, and it's certainly better now than I thought. Look at you. The owner has promised you a place to stay.” Lin Xi put the rain gear down the side stone and smiled at Wang Bun, a stubborn, hardy young expatriate, gauging the small building.

This little building can be used beautifully.
