Chapter 19: Follow the Side (《》)

After entering the backyard, Liu Xiu was carrying a tray out of the kitchen. Lin Dong immediately asked him to put the food on the stone table.

Soon, Wang Liuzhi also called the thin bamboo pole and the Triangle Eye. The three of them grabbed the sack and wooden sticks, and walked into the lobby together while telling Liu Xiu, and then got into the counter.

The moonlight was bright and the vegetables were fragrant. Lin Dong's index finger moved and swept across the entire stone table in an instant.

After returning to the room, I found an ancient book and looked at it half-understand or not. Half an hour later, Wang Liuzhi and the other two walked in with excitement on their faces.

"The shopkeeper has done it. If you don't have to lie down for a year or two, you will definitely not get out of bed." Wang Liuzhi raised his bloody wooden stick and said, "This kid came to the inn twice. He always looked at people with his nostrils. He thought he was very tough. Who knew that a set of sacks and a few sticks went down, and immediately begged for mercy. A few sticks were used to make a fuss. This kind of person would be happy to fight."

The thin bamboo pole stuttered aftertaste: "That's, howling ghosts and wolves are sorrowful than listening to the ladies in Zuixianlou moaning."

Lin Dong was speechless, and after a right hand, he had an extra ingot of ten taels of silver ingots in his hand.

Seeing Lin Dong handing over the silver ingot, Wang Liuzhi waved his hand quickly: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing? Just give me a small matter."

Lin Dong shook his head, stood up and stuffed the silver ingot into Wang Liuzhi's hand, and smiled and said, "Brothers, I'm sure they have no money. I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Then..." Wang Liuzhi hesitated for a moment, stuffed the silver ingot into his clothes and said, "Then I will thank the shopkeeper on behalf of my brothers."

"Why are you polite!" Lin Dong called Wang Liuzhi and the other two to sit down, and said, "Xiao Liu, arrange a few people to ask about Fu Zizhou tomorrow morning."

"Fu Zizhou? Does it have only one name?" Wang Liuzhi asked.

"There is only one name, and it's not from our Xilan City." After thinking about it, Lin Dong continued: "It's the young master Liu who brought the book boy in our inn. His real name is Fu Zizhou. You know his appearance and age. Then... This person has the ability to remember everything he has, and his calligraphy should be extraordinary. He should have a certain reputation in the entire Qiufeng Mansion. You can ask for information about it."

"He... has he gotten into the shopkeeper?" Wang Liuzhi couldn't help but ask. He had seen Fu Zizhou many times. A book boy is more arrogant than the young master of Xilan City, and he must be of a big background.

“It’s serious!”

Lin Dong's eyes were slightly condensed. He was sure that the military advisor behind Dou Changkun was Fu Zizhou. The last time Fu Zizhou asked Lin Shuang to borrow Zhou Zhengye's big characters was not the so-called observation at all, but the study of Zhou Zhengye's font. After getting the first small topic of calligraphy competition, he wrote a big character that was better than Zhou Zhengye for Dou Changkun to copy.

With only one night, Dou Changkun must have been able to ensure that one small event can beat Zhou Zhengye. Fu Zizhou was not simple, and he thought of arranging Dou Changkun to anger Zhou Zhengye before the first small event came out, and then he took advantage of the results to hit Zhou Zhengye hard, which made Zhou Zhengye not only lose the level of the small event after the later small event, but also could not even recover the calmness and restraint he should have in the next day's shooting competition.

In addition, the order of the battle was very coincidental, and Dou Changkun endured halfway, and only hit Zhou Zhengye hard after the calligraphy battle. The target of Fu Zizhou was undoubtedly Qiushui Academy.

Although Lin Dong had some affection for Fu Chunjian, the dean of Qiushui College, Fu Zizhou was so scheming that there seemed to be no sign of killing Fu Chunjian and killing him.

To be honest, Lin Dong didn't want to get involved.

Fu Zizhou shouldn't have been absolutely necessary, and he shouldn't have let the little girl get involved in this conspiracy. If the little girl knew that she would use Zhou Zhengye's big words to show Fu Zizhou, it would have caused such consequences. Coupled with Dou Changkun's affairs, his mind would definitely be covered with a thick layer of darkness.

This is something that neither the timid ex nor Lin Dong could tolerate.

Seeing Lin Dong's gaze getting colder, Wang Liuzhi did not dare to hesitate and said seriously: "Shopkeeper, there is no need to be so troublesome. No matter where he comes from, he will cover his sack, even if he wants to die, Xiao Liu will pat you for your breasts and agree."

"It's not that the crime is so bad. Do what I said! Only by finding out my identity can I judge his intentions." Lin Dong shook his head.

"Okay!" Wang Liuyi focused his head.

"And..." Lin Dong asked: "Are there anyone among your brothers who are smart and have straight legs?"

Wang Liuzhi disturbed his head and said angrily: "It's all a group of people who only know how to fight with fists."

"Shopkeeper, isn't Liu Xiu very smart? His legs and feet are very neat." Shao Zhugan suddenly interrupted.

Lin Dong vetoed: "Liu Xiu is too young, different from you. This kind of thing is not suitable for him to get involved."

"Shopkeeper, what are your plans?" Wang Liuzhi asked.

"I want to find someone to secretly follow Fu Zizhou, and follow him wherever he goes, and it's best to overheard what he has said."

"This matter is easy to handle!" Wang Liuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and patted the triangle eyes that were thrusting his chest: "This kid used to be a famous thief in the neighboring county. Later, he stole something he shouldn't have stolen. Then he ran to Xilan City and finally became a gangster with me. There were few people in Xilan City who were better than him."

"I can't see it, I can't hide it! Are you sure?" Lin Dong knocked on the shoulder of Triangular Eyes.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper! I promise he can't see that I'm following the tip." Triangular eyes slapped his chest with a thump.

Lin Dong was very generous in his heart: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Xiaoliu, how has the new inn been doing recently? Didn't you say that you brought the wood today? Why didn't I see it when I passed by at night?"

"I forgot if the shopkeeper didn't say it." Wang Liuzhi said angrily: "A few yamen runners came during lunch, serving them with delicious food and drinks. Each of them even stuffed a piece of silver, but they just kept biting and refused to transport wood to start work."

"What's the reason?" Lin Dong asked.

"There is a nonsense reason, it is the order issued by the county magistrate."

Lin Dong frowned slightly. Is this county magistrate trying to make some money or stand up for others?

After a moment of heart movement, Lin Dong asked, "How is the business of those five tables that require one or two taels of silver per hour?"

Wang Liuzhi smiled and said, "Don't say, the shopkeeper is wise, there are really fools who are willing to spend a tael of silver to sit on these tables. Moreover, there are more and more fools like this. Today, he earned ten taels of silver with those five tables, which is almost as much as the inn's income for a month."

"When there are no guests in the future, you can go to those five tables to have dinner. Then you will know if a tael of silver is worth it." Lin Dong smiled, already understanding the reason for being harassed.

It is almost impossible to get along with the big restaurant in Xilan City. I don’t want Linji Inn to become bigger.

"There are so many things to do about the fireworks. Let's go to bed! If you have time, ask if our county magistrate will usually leave the county government office, and I will deal with the wood matters."

Lin Dong soon made a decision. With his current strength, he had not yet had the capital to fight against Xilancheng County Magistrate Mingli, so he could only find Bai Jingtai to find a way and use silver to break it through. As for the loss, he just took the opportunity to make a comeback.
