Chapter 692: The final search for the ring and the ring

Zhang Xiaobao, who had taken off the appearance of Ning Tian, ​​changed his clothes again. His hair was combed, and his eyes and eyebrows were no longer changed. He did not change much, but unfamiliar people would definitely not recognize him.

In fact, even if Zhang Xiaobao is more than dressed up, others will never know him, even if he and Wang Juan have portraits in almost every family.

Just like Wang Juan's national leaders at that time, he would recognize who he saw on TV. If there were no leaders following him and walking alone on the street, even if someone saw him, he would not think he was the national leader.

Zhang Xiaobao, who had left the courtyard, walked aimlessly on the streets of Duchang County. He had not figured out where to start. The best way to start should be the officials in the government.

But Zhang Xiaobao also considered that officials can usually smoky smoke at home. The Tang Dynasty law that bans smoking has not been fully implemented, and it is normal to light smoky smoke.

If the organization hiding behind is not in a hurry to let the officials go over, seeing that the current news is tight and you are hiding without any hesitation, you can't arrest an official to ask. Once you catch it, you probably won't be able to ask anything, and at the same time let the other party know.

Since we couldn't go to the officials immediately, Zhang Xiaobao considered the "master" of wealthy families to see if they had gone to a specific place to 'entertain'.

Duchang is not as good as Xunyang, and it has not been completely martial law. The shops on both sides of the streets are still open, and hawking businesses are endless. Zhang Xiaobao is not in a hurry for a moment. He walked along the streets and visited the county town of Duchang County.

At noon, Zhang Xiaobao ate a portion of rice noodles at a small stall on the roadside. It was not delicious or not, but it was just filling her stomach.

There is also a tea stall next to the rice noodle seller. It is not accurate to say that the stall is just a large open space, far away from the main street, and it is a relatively remote place. Someone set up a shed on the open space.

Below the shed is a place where water boils water to provide snacks and melon seeds. People who drink tea are not under the shed. Some sit at the table, some take a bench directly, and some squat there, and people stand under the tree.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that there were a lot of people and thought that it was probably because he had been checked tightly recently. Many jobs were not good at doing, so there were many idle people and there was no other place to go. It was hot, so he came over to have tea, play chess and chat.

Anyway, tea is cheap, and it is enough to throw a penny to the shop owner. Drinking for a whole afternoon is enough. If you don’t change the tea or add water, even if the tea tastes gone, people will add boiling water. The rules are like this.

Like drinking mutton soup in Beijing, a bowl of mutton soup is not expensive, only two or three cents. If you can’t afford the soup, you have to cut the mutton into the water and sit there, don’t eat dry food, and only drink the soup made of mutton bones and mutton oil.

Free sweet garlic and pepper, plus vinegar, drink it all day, and at night, you only need a cake, pinch it into pieces, soak it in the soup, and eat all the sheep and eat it. When you are full, you will also make up for the meat and fish. The mutton oil soup is also a big replenishment. In this way, the people who open the shop recognize it.

Zhang Xiaobao saw people who drink tea at tea stalls like this. People who run stalls collect money are less often, and most of the time they are busy adding water to others, and they are so tired that they sweat a lot. Fortunately, the water is not expensive, so they burn the dry branches. The water is water in the river, so they are used to exercise.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and asked for a pot of tea. He chose the most expensive one, which cost five cents. He also gave a plate of fried soybeans and two dried fish.

Feeling several different gazes from around him, Zhang Xiaobao acted as if I was a rich man, and then he heard someone whispering from a tree stump six meters away nearby.

"Is this person sick? I haven't seen him before. I guess he is new. I don't know that Lao Huang's stall only sells one kind of tea. There is no difference between huā one penny and huā five penny. It's just that the pot is better, the tea bowl is new, everything else is the same. What is the value of beans and dried fish."

"I guess I'm showing off. I feel that I have money and don't go to the teahouse to drink. What do I do when I come to the tea stall? The poorer I feel."

"The cheapest one to go to the teahouse is not even enough to drink. If I were Lao Huang, I would ask him to spend ten cents when I met him like this."

Listening to the voices of others, Zhang Xiaobao also admitted it and blamed himself for asking for five cents of tea. It was obviously a pain to suffer. Rich people don’t feel that they are so good.

So he said to the old Huang who opened the tea stall: "Old Huang, do you still have cheap tea? Don't have beans and fish, can you get some refunds?"

"Retreat? You can't. Beans and fish are useless. If you don't eat them, I'll take them back." Old Huang honestly rejected Zhang Xiaobao's request.

Seeing more different gazes around him, Zhang Xiaobao gritted his teeth and decided to sacrifice his fortune. He took the opportunity to get back his face no matter what. Then he said to Lao Huang: "I don't lack money, just ask casually, don't believe it? If you don't believe it, change a bowl of new tea for all the people who drink tea, I'll invite you."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao took out a large denomination banknote and saw the words "fifty text" written on it.

There were loud voices coming from around him, and no one said that he was getting more and more pretending to be poorer and thanked him one after another. The two of them who had just muttered him came over and sat next to him, like an acquaintance, reached out to pinch out a few beans from the plate in front of him, threw them into his mouth and chewed them, which sounded very fragrant.

"Little brother, you're not a local, right?" A man in his thirties asked 'kindly' after eating Zhang Xiaobao's beans.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't touch the beans himself. He didn't want to drink tea and eat the beans. Then he carried out chemical reactions in his body to create combustible gases, which would make it very uncomfortable.

After hearing someone's question, Zhang Xiaobao nodded shyly, which was far from the heroic moment he had when he invited someone to have tea: "I just came here, I just came yesterday, I was originally from Hangzhou."

What Zhang Xiaobao said deliberately brought a little Hangzhou local accent.

"What are you doing here?" The man didn't see him and asked Zhang Xiaobao's purpose directly.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled shyly again and said, "Looking at the lake, everyone says that the scenery of Pengli Lake is good, come and have a look."

"You are not the time to come. If you were the past, it's okay to come now. Something is happening now. I'm not a local person. If you want to take a boat, someone will question it. There are other boats on the lake that are staring at the cruise ships on the lake. It's a pity."

The man shook his head, looking as if he was regretful for Zhang Xiaobao, and then pinched a few more soybeans and threw them into his mouth to chew them.

Zhang Xiaobao simply pushed the plate in front of the other party, expressed a regretful expression, and said, "I heard that the children of the Zhang and Wang family were almost blown up. I didn't know before coming. I only looked at the lake, so I'll just stare at it. What interesting places are there in the county?"

"It's gone, there used to be, but now it's gone. The most interesting thing is where you drink tea. Don't look at the expensive tea in the teahouse, it's not easy to buy or sell. And I tell you, if you want to find someone to do things or ask for information, only here is the best, and it's not comparable to other places."

While speaking, the man picked out the beans from the plate and ate them first. He probably planned to leave the good beans at the end. Although they were the same after entering the stomach, the taste was different.

Only then did Zhang Xiaobao understand why there were many people idle at the tea stall. It turned out that it was not only chatting, but also able to take on jobs. It was also a good place, just like the labor market.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaobao pushed the dried fish over and asked, "Don't you know the money, this big brother?"

"What money? Oh, you say you want to find someone to do things, of course you have to give money. Whoever does not give money will do it for you? If you really find someone to work, don't bargain, let alone make the price. You ask someone else if you can give it a lower price. It's useless. As long as someone says you'll bid, others won't be lower, and you can only get more."

The man understood what Zhang Xiaobao asked, and patiently told the rules. Perhaps he felt that he had drunk Zhang Xiaobao's tea and ate food. He kindly added: "If you really want to find someone to work, we can give you the cheapest price, who will please you?"

Zhang Xiaobao felt that Douzi and Yu were more pleasing to the eye, so he nodded, expressed his understanding, and asked again: "What if you are asking for news? For example, where is the fun place? How can you calculate money for family matters?"

"You have already paid the money. You asked for something and invited someone to have tea. You are generous and invited all of us all at once. You ask what you want to ask. If I don't know, I'll ask someone to come and tell you."

The man pointed at his tea and said to Zhang Xiaobao with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao also laughed out loud and took a sip of tea of ​​unknown variety: "So that's it. I actually have nothing to ask for. I just thought that at night, I would take a night boat to see the scenery of Pengli Lake. I think it would be good. Brother, let's talk about the fun things in the county.

Just say it casually, I don’t have to know anything. When I’m chatting normally, I’m still alone. It’s better to talk, Lao Huang, and you can help deliver it to anyone who eats."

Zhang Xiaobao took out another piece of paper money, took it back immediately, and took it back again. This time he paid the right amount, a large denomination, a hundred cents, and the one he took out just now was a small denomination of 100 coins. This kind of money usually cannot be taken out in a small stall, and it is easy to be scolded. Just like buying a few beautiful fans with 100 dollars, it is just a trick, and it cannot be broken so much if it is broken.

Zhang Xiaobao is fast, and the person who speaks does not see the 100-ton coins clearly, and probably doesn't recognize it even after seeing it. The 50-ton coins are generally not circulated among ordinary people.

When he heard someone invited food, there were cheers and thanks from around him again. Lao Huang was also full of red faces and could make a lot of money today.

The person who talked to Zhang Xiaobao looked at the few things placed on the table, then looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and looked back and forth for a long time, and finally spoke.

"I didn't expect that I missed it. My brother is indeed a little wealthy. Thank you. If you want to talk about the matter in the county, you have to talk about the wealthy families. There are more people in their affairs than ordinary people. Just talk about the Liang family courtyard at the east end of the county, that's not ordinary..."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao listened while drinking tea, some wealthy families had a seat, some deserted houses were haunted, some people cried in the middle of the night, etc., just like listening to mythological stories.

Not only did he say that, but a few people came over and helped to replenish them. Some said they were tired, and someone immediately took over and continued to say that it seemed that their resources were shared.

After listening for an hour, Zhang Xiaobao finally heard what he wanted to know. He nodded to a person who had just told the story of a shoe found in the well and said, "Thank you, it's really interesting. It's getting late. I went to the water to take a look. I guess when I walked to the place, it was dark and I happened to take a boat."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao got up and left, not even the eleven cents he had recovered, and left casually. After drinking his tea, eating his food, and telling him stories, there was another story from today, which might be able to develop different versions of the spread.

After leaving the tea stall, Zhang Xiaobao walked for another two quarters of an hour, turned around, but did not go outside the city, but looked to the east of the county.

When I was listening to the story just now, he heard a man say that the Xu family in the east is also a large family. In the past, there were a lot of land and transactions, but in the past six months, the transactions have been closed almost half and a lot of fields have been sold. And you can often hear the head of the Xu family saying that he has become an immortal, and many people think they are possessed by evil spirits.

But Zhang Xiaobao believed that the head of the Xu family was not possessed by evil spirits, but had big smoke. The big smoke demanded money, and the more smoke it was too much, and it had hallucinations. Since that was the case, we should go and see if the Xu family's smoke was over, and who provided him with it.

Waiting to find the Xu family's house, it was not yet dark, Zhang Xiaobao had to find an inn next to him, ask for a room, and ask the guy to bring him a serving of wine and food, and wait while eating. He had drunk a lot of tea before, but his stomach was empty.

Waiting for the night to come, Zhang Xiaobao finished eating and lay down to sleep with his clothes. At this time, the people in the big yard probably had not had dinner yet, let alone other entertainment.

After about an hour, Zhang Xiaobao turned over and pushed Mén away, and left the inn amid the attentive words of the friend. He lent five days of money. He didn't know if he would get something tonight. If he didn't work, he would have to come back. What if there was no place.

The wall outside the Xu family's house is not short, and there is a "person" tall. To be precise, it looks like it is over two meters tall. There is also a small eaves on it, so I am afraid that others will jump into the wall and make it bad.

But this wall had no effect on Zhang Xiaobao. He found a corner and saw that there was no one around. He jumped up and flipped in directly, and there was almost no movement when he landed on the ground.

In the courtyard where you enter four times, Zhang Xiaobao didn't care whether there were lights in the house next to him. If so, it would be nothing more than the servants of the Xu family living there, so that the head of the family would not live in the house that was right in the front.

Following the road in the yard, Zhang Xiaobao easily found the room where the head of the Xu family lived. There were no patrol people on the road, let alone a post and a whistle every five steps.

The owner's light was on, and there was a faint sound from inside, but it was far away and I couldn't hear it clearly. Zhang Xiaobao turned over to the room and put his ear on the tiles to listen, but he still couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed that the house was well built.

From the corner of the house, Zhang Xiaobao finally chose to listen to the window, hid in the shadows, and listened with his ears. He did not spray with his hands and wet the window and looked in.

It’s not because Zhang Xiaobao is afraid of being discovered. If there are multiple paper windows, most people think they are touching something. The main reason is that the windows are glass. Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t wear a glass knife. If you want to see it, you have to scratch the glass and then unbox the curtains inside.

If you really do this, unless someone else is a fool, you will definitely find that the glass is abnormal.

Zhang Xiaobao listened to it. Someone was talking inside, to be precise, singing a song. I don’t know who wrote the poem. It was sung by an NV boy, and the voice of a man occasionally echoed it.

I didn't finish listening to this, and there were songs one after another. I haven't heard one song from Zhang Xiaobao. I don't know who wrote so many deciphered poems.

Until Zhang Xiaobao stood there and was about to fall asleep, the singing inside finally stopped and turned into a humming noise. Zhang Xiaobao could obviously hear that the nv person was pretending.

It took about three minutes to use it, and the humming sound became sharp, and then there was only breathing. It seemed that the "lasting" battle was over.

Zhang Xiaobao complained in his heart, why did he look like the Japanese in the movie I watched before, and there were a total of ten minutes of films, but in the end, luàn used his hands and other things, and thirty seconds left, leaving it for the male protagonist in the movie. Before he could enjoy watching it, everything was over.

Could it be that the Japanese undercover who works with the locals are in the house? Unlike, listening to the movement, they are locals.

Zhang Xiaobao, who used this method to make himself jingle, was about to think about other things, and the movements inside changed.

"Master, the family property has been sold for 60% and there are still 40% left. It is difficult to sell, and even if it is sold, it cannot be sold at a price. The people in the county government are so strict that they are not afraid. The main reason is that there are outsiders who keep asking people for questions. You can think of a solution."

The voice of the nv person, the nv person who sang two songs just now.

"We have to sell it even if we can't sell it. We are about to leave. Who are we here to stay? Others thought that my family was defeated and said it was my devil. In fact, what do they know? I have more than half a little money, but more than double the amount.

If they hadn't investigated them strictly, I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell them. There is no need to worry about the government. If you go with me then, not only you, but also the officials in the county. The Tang Dynasty can't stay there. If you continue staying there, maybe someone will come to Mén."

Another man's voice sounded, and Zhang Xiaobao understood why it was only three minutes. When he heard the sound of his speech, the man should be quite old. He obviously lacked confidence, and perhaps he was also from the big smoke.

At the same time, I realized that the other party’s family had fewer fixed assets, and they did not buy cigarette paste, but were transferred. If you want to leave Datang, you don’t know whether to go to Japan or elsewhere.

"Master, I'll light a cigarette for you. This cigarette is a good thing. Unfortunately, there are few people who know the goods and are expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it. Master, will you tell me that after the Zhang and Wang families find out, they will not let us go and chase us out of the Tang Dynasty?

Xunyang is still sealed now. I am really worried that those who know about us will sell us. It’s really not possible. I don’t want the remaining property. If it’s late, they will be caught and they will not be able to peel us off?”

There was a sound of matchmaking sounding in the room, and then the nv man spoke.

The sound of chou cigarettes and the sound of slowly exhaling when enjoying it came out again, and then the old man, or the old man, spoke.
To be continued...
