Volume 4

Storm and rain in Jiangnan

Chapter 13

First time

There are two rooms inside and outside the Tianzi room, and the outer room is a little narrower, but it is a rare luxury for Old Man Qiao. After taking a comfortable bath and changing into clean clothes, the shop had already brought a steaming breakfast. Although it was not rich, it was just rice porridge, steamed buns and a few pickles, but the two still had a very comfortable meal.

On the first day, Lin Nan was sleeping in the room. He was really tired all the way to the south, not to mention that he had been living outside in the wind and rain the day before. Since people said we would rest, we should rest. No matter whether it is Bai Wuchang or Black Wuchang, at least it is not a threat now. So Lin Nan put down his mind and slept for six hours. By the time he woke up, the lights had already been in the store.

Lin Nan woke up for a while and someone knocked on the door outside. It was still the same shop. When he saw Lin Nan, he smiled and said that the boss was invited. Lin Nan quickly cleaned up and followed the shop downstairs. He walked down the stairs after three or two to the front of the small house behind the large cabinet on the first floor. The shop turned sideways and opened the curtain, greeted him, and Lin Nan lowered his head and walked in.

There is actually a unique world behind the curtain.

There were four rooms in a long corridor, and there were four rooms left and right. At this moment, the door in the southeast corner was open, and there were lights on inside, like a sound of people. Lin Nan stepped forward, and there were a table and a lamp inside. Three people sat next to him. Seeing Lin Nan standing at the door, one of them quickly stood up, right? Come on, I have been waiting for you for a long time, sit down."

Lin Nan glanced at him and didn't know any of the three of them. Chang Qianhu, who had seen him in the morning, was not among them. He was puzzled. The man who had just greeted Lin Nan said that Lord Qianhu had something to do and went out to visit him. Before leaving, he specifically told him to welcome Qiao Feng, haha, "Stop for a moment, the man continued to say, come on, I know him, my name is Qiu Biao, this is Yu Yong, Liu Wencai."

Lin Nan quickly greeted each other, and looked at the people one by one. The two people next to him also stood up to greet Lin Nan. Yu Yong's skin was slightly dark, a little thin, and he wore a small hat on his head, looking coldly as if he was mixed up on the street. Liu Wencai was much better. He wore a long gown, which was a bit like a teacher in a private school, but he looked a little down and out, with a little white hair growing on his temples. Liu Wencai seemed to be good at it. After a few greetings with Lin Nan, he smiled and pointed at Qiu Biao, Brother Qiu was a little vague. Qiao probably didn't know that many of us in our area today, and many of them could not come because of business relationships. But the nearby ones rely on our store to make a living, and the shopkeeper of our store is Brother Qiu."

Lin Nan felt a little bit about it when he heard this. Although Liu Wencai was in a down-and-out appearance, he was indeed a man of a slight look and said implicitly, but he raised some points and praised Qiu Biao and Feilingwei. However, he mainly relied on this Ping An Inn. If he said that, this inn is equivalent to a command post in Xiangyang. If Qiu Biao can be called the shopkeeper here, his position must be higher than that of ordinary people. However, judging from the introduction of his name to Chang Hu at the beginning, his position should be lower than that of thousands of households. Lin Nan is almost certain that Qiu Biao must be at least one hundred households to understand. Lin Nan quickly met again according to the official etiquette.

People carry people in the flower sedan chair, Liu Wencai can be a good person, and Lin Nan will climb up the pole, and the atmosphere in the room is very harmonious. Qiu Biao was naturally very proud. He shouted at the moment, and Yu Yong and Liu Wencai quickly started to work. At this moment, there were several packages stacked on the table in the middle of the room. When they opened it, they saw that it was roast chicken, elbows, goose paws, and beef sauce. There was a jar under the table, which slapped the mud and sealed the wine.

Qiu Biao took the bowl of wine and said, Qiao Nan came, our brothers should be a good hospitality, but our position is limited, and Qiao still has to take care of the neglect of things. The days left and right are still long, so Qiao will work with everyone in the future, and gradually it will be done. We are born to sell our lives, with a big position and a small food and drink. But our brothers welcome Qiao's thoughts are warm, "After saying that, I came to the wine bowl and did it."

If the boss said this in the future, can Lin Nan say it again? Of course, he was grateful from the heart. Several people were very happy to celebrate. Qiu Biao looked like a rough man, but after taking turns to pay the table, Lin Nan found that this person might not have such thick lines on the surface in private. At least the words of the table were spoken steadily and no one could find fault. The hundred households who could be the Feiling Guard naturally had their own advantages. Yu Yong didn't talk much, and seemed to be a dull gourd, but he just kept drinking and eating meat. He was not distant from Lin Nan, but he was not deliberately close to him. Then Liu Wencai could say that he kept holding others at the table, not only holding his superiors and colleagues, but even Lin Nan, who was much younger than them, had not left behind. It can be seen that his turn was extraordinary. But he was just casual chatting. If he talked about this person's temperament, he really couldn't tell at the moment.

Several people were drinking and chatting, and while chatting, they also told Lin Nan about some general situation. According to the statements they expressed in their words, Chang Qianhu did not supervise the case in Xiangyang, but only arrived here by passing Xiangyang for a temporary inspection. Qiu Biao was basically responsible for the assignment and contact of the matter in Xiangyang City.

Although he said that, Lin Nan muttered to himself that things could not be so coincidental, right? He just came south and met Bai Wuchang who was passing by in Ping'an Inn. And according to the situation he met him, the Lord Qianhu seemed to be very prepared for the matter, and it seemed like he was waiting here specifically. Lin Nan was very curious now. Did Du Ning say to Chang Qianhu... Also, the title of "Joe" is another matter? If Lord Chang was waiting here specifically, then he suddenly left without clear settlement?

No one answered the questions, Lin Nan had to bury them in his heart and wait for the time to be solved slowly in the future. Qiu Biao and the other two seemed to be accustomed to eating and drinking very quickly. After a while, the food on the table had turned into a mess, and then they just drank one bowl after another. After that, they continued to toss and see that the time was almost done. Qiu Biao hinted a little, and stood up with his tongue half wide and squirted at Lin Nan and said, "Oh, I heard that there was another new thing today, but I didn't expect that it was so young and handsome like a scholar. Wei San was not here, otherwise he would definitely like it very much."

Qiu Biao glanced at Liu Wencai indifferently and said, "I think you are really drunk too much." But Wei San hasn't seen him for several days. He went out the day before yesterday? I guess he went to the north again to have fun again. There are so many beautiful ladies in the kilns in the city who don't go to find them and insist on smashing the widow's door in the wild. Sooner or later, his mother will be retribution."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. A drunken word from Liu Wencai and Qiu Biao almost scared Lin Nan to the side, Lin Nan's heart trembled. It wouldn't be such a coincidence? If Wei Sanhe, who was the two of them, was thinking of the same person, even if he would never see him in this life...

Yu Yong and Liu Wencai left one after another, and Qiu Biao called Lin Nan.

When there were only two people left in the room, Qiu Biao's drunkenness just now changed and changed to a serious face. Lin Nan couldn't help but look solemn when he saw this. He was going to talk about the investigation of the former Han Nan governor Lin Wu. Two days ago, Qiu Biao was not in the inn, so he went out to stare at this matter.

"?The flowers and plants in the yard have been replaced?" Lin Nan was a little surprised and resentful. If he had come a few days earlier, he might not have been so passive. But after thinking about it, it seemed unlikely. If the other party took a step forward, it would be inevitable to eliminate the evidence of the crime. No matter how the reaction was, it might not be enough. In the process of transporting his father's body back to the capital, it was enough to make the other party be prepared.

Qiu Biao nodded. When the news from the superiors spread, I checked my brother in person, but the other party was moving very quickly. When I went there, there had been a change. "As if hesitated, Qiu Biao continued to say Qiao, although you are younger and have never worked together before, brother, I think you can also be a big deal. Since the superiors sent you here at this time, although the Qianhu Lord did not explain, in my brother's opinion, you will be the one who will do this job. Don't think that Qiao's position is lower now, but if this job is done well, my brother will borrow you from you in the future."

It seems a little worried, Qiu Biao said again, don’t worry, you are the first to come, and brothers cannot let others make a fool of you. Just let go and come to me if you are embarrassed. If you do it well, brothers will be the first to ask you for me.”

Ping An Inn, Tianzi Room.

There was no light in the dark room, and Lin Nan lying on his back on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The people he saw this day had really come into contact with, and many of them had not thought through it.

The two waist cards in his hand were rubbed repeatedly, and it had become a little warm. One was the ordinary waist cards of Feilingwei that he had just received from Qiu Biao, and the other was the small flag waist tag that he touched on the short brown man while crossing the river. If it was expected, the Wei San mentioned by Liu Wencai was 80% the short brown man when he was leaving. Judging from what Qiu Biao and Liu Wencai said, he seemed to be very familiar with Wei San. It seemed that he would be very good in the future. If the news was leaked, I am afraid that no one would save it.

In addition, the attitude towards Qiu Baihu was a little blurred just now. Normally, it was just an ordinary guard from the south, even a small flag, which was enough to be gained in front of him, but Qiu Biao was very kind. Although he still had the airs of Shangguan on the surface, he could clearly feel the contrast. This was very inconsistent with the usual impression and the strict hierarchy of Fei Lingwei heard in the rumors, and it was confusing. Is it because of Uncle Du? Or because of Chang Qianhu?

When he was just a first time, he didn't know enough about Fei Lingwei and was not familiar with the place. Lin Nan felt that he had no idea about many things and fell into deep thought.
