Chapter 282 The way to find someone

The size of Youjian Inn is much larger than that of Yuelai Inn. Although there are not many empty rooms, there are still some.

That night, I ordered a table of exquisite food, and my uncle and nephew had a happy meal.

Then, Lingyue was forced to take a bath.

Take a night off.

Early the next morning, Su Jing and Ling Yue had already gotten up.

After a night of rest, both of them had lost all their hard work on the long journey and became energetic again.

After thinking this night, Su Jing had already thought about what to do next.

Chang'an City is vast, and it is no less difficult to find someone you don't know from it than climbing the sky. Fortunately, you still know a name... it cannot be considered a complete search.

"Every place has some underground organizations, which are local tyrants. They are not powerful, but they are very difficult to deal with. They may not have the ability to kill and fight, but if they find someone or find out some information, they are absolutely well-informed and beyond the reach of ordinary people."

While sitting in the hall drinking millet porridge and looking at the bustling crowd outside, Su Jing said, "We are not familiar with the place, and we almost have a dark look. What we have to do now is to find a place to settle down and find a way to meet these local snakes. It doesn't matter if we pay some money."

Lingyue is different from Su Jing. She is not happy with meat. She took a meat bun and chewed Zhengxiang and asked, "So should we find someone first, or settle down first?"

"Of course, settle down."

Su Jing touched his waist bag with a little pain and said, "I know the sinister intentions of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn. The price of this inn is too high. I actually spent ten taels of silver in one night... In such a high-end place, if you live in a few more days, I would probably just live in a house. No wonder so many people in the Tang Dynasty are still empty here now. I feel like this is the president's suite."

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"No... nothing... just sigh."

Su Jing said: "If you live here again, even if you don't spend money on your daily life, you may not be able to last long because of your money. So I hate big cities and the consumption is too high! Let's eat it, and after eating, let's go out and have a look."

"Um."

Lingyue obediently ate the pickles that Su Jing picked up in one bite. She was afraid of the days that she had no food in the past, which made her now have an indescribable persistence to not wasting food.

After the meal, the uncle and nephew came out.

Yesterday, I was in a hurry to find a place to stay, but I didn't have time to take a closer look. There was no clear purpose today. Only then did the two of them have time to observe the surroundings, and then they realized...

The small shops are not yet visible, but the big shops are already decorated with lights and colors early, and it looks like the whole street is very lively!

And when travelers come and go, they chat and laugh, and the most talked about it was their emperor's birthday... The words and faces all showed full of love!

"It seems that this emperor is quite loved."

Su Jing whispered to Lingyue.

Lingyue nodded and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sentence on her head!

"Hmph, what a bullshit birthday? Even though I'm not old, I still learn from those old people to live a birthday. It's simply..."

Suddenly.

Upstairs, on the second floor, a young man in gorgeous clothes and dressed in a luxurious manner was full of a proud look on his face and complained dissatisfiedly: "Do you really think that if you win the hearts of the people of the world, you can sit firmly? You must know that this world is the world of five surnames and seven hopes!"

"Silence your voice and don't make any mistakes!"

Someone immediately scolded him sternly.

Su Jing raised his eyebrows, and then he noticed that this was really interesting scene. It seemed that those who praised the emperor were all civilians dressed in coarse cloth clothes, while those who looked resentful were mostly powerful children with gorgeous clothes and rich clothes.

Except for the one who spoke wildly just now, most of the luxuriously dressed people, looking at their expressions, seemed to disagree with the so-called birthday celebrations this time.

"This emperor is very interesting. Judging from his status, he should be trying to attack the powerful and support civilians, right? He is considered a wise king of the generation. I don't know who it is? Li Shimin? Or..."

Although it was just a detail, Su Jing, who had watched too many historical dramas in his previous life, immediately figured out the joints of each middle.

Su Jing asked, "Lingyue, do you know what the emperor is called?"

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know... Or, uncle, I'll go and ask for you?"

"I don't know, so I'll forget it. Anyway, this matter is too far away from us. Why should I care about it if I can't worry about it?"

Su Jing thought it would be better to take care of his own acre of three-point land.

Now, he led Lingyue to the remote Xicheng!

The East City is too prosperous, so you can’t afford it if you don’t ask... The West City is more desolate, so you should barely be able to do it.

Sure enough, when I arrived in Xicheng, it was immediately much worse than the prosperity of Dongcheng.

There were fewer people talking about national affairs, and more people discussing family affairs, and the crowds were crowded and people even passed by. Su Jing frowned and protected Lingyue with his body, so that those pedestrians would not squeeze into him.

The level of the houses that you can see is much lower, less prosperous, red bricks and green tiles, and more warmth.

Su Jing took Ling Yue and finally squeezed out of the pedestrians.

After walking around the streets and alleys, I found several houses to sell houses, some who were in urgent need of money because their family was sick, some who were migrating with their families, and some who were owed money because of gambling money...

I've seen a few.

Both of them were attracted by a good courtyard house.

The location is still good, not too far from Dongcheng. The backyard is surrounded by the lake, and there are even weak willows. There are small flowers and grass planted in the yard, which seems particularly warm...

If it was the original price, I was afraid it might not be able to get it even if it was three thousand taels!

The person who sold the courtyard was a savvy man with a thin face, asking for a price of 1,500 taels and asking for cash.

Although Lingyue was young, she was better at human nature than Su Jing. Seeing that this man was inconsistent with this elegant courtyard, she felt confused in her heart.

I went out quietly and had already found out.

It turned out that this man was an honest and capable man when he was young. He worked in the old family for several years. Somehow, he got the attention of the old family's eldest daughter... The two of them quietly got into a hookup.

Laocai was angry, but felt sorry for his daughter's health. He rarely met a lover. He had no choice but to call this person as his son-in-law.

But this man was quite honest before, but once he had money, he immediately revealed his true colors. He was able to eat, drink, go for a gamble and ignorant, and ignored his wife. He was so rich that he was not in good health and died.

Once the pillars left, the business at home was left unattended, and the wealth of thousands of yuan could not withstand the expenses of Chang'an City's gold-selling cave... In just two years, all the assets were sold out. This villa was the ancestral home of the old Cai family and the last residence of the couple. Everything here was said to be the one who was being taken care of by the young lady. Unfortunately, two months ago, the young lady finally died in the underworld!

And this man owed huge gambling debts and was about to stop selling his house, so he was about to be sold.

After a short while, I explored the origin of this man clearly, and then quietly spoke to Su Jing.

Su Jing suddenly realized that he had already realized in his heart... Anyway, it was not enough that the origin was not correct. This man was capable enough, but the son-in-law turned over and made a decision. Although others couldn't see the house, they couldn't say anything.

At that moment, simply said: "Okay! One thousand five hundred taels, I will give you cash, and you can make a certificate for me immediately!"

Seeing that Su Jing didn't bargain, the man hesitated and said, "This... I suddenly felt that 1,500 taels are less, or 1,800 taels?"

Su Jing smiled and reached out to caress the small flower wall built by the blue bricks in the courtyard.

A blue brick was shattered silently.

Man: “…………………………………………”

Su Jing smiled and said, "I suddenly felt that one thousand five hundred taels are a bit too much, otherwise one thousand four hundred taels?"

"This is this...you just like it."

The man immediately smiled flatteringly.

Su Jing turned around and said, "Lingyue, pay for it!"

Lingyue nodded, reached out to grop around her waist, preparing to get the money...

After a moment, her movements suddenly froze.

Su Jing said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"uncle……"

Ling Yue looked up with a sad look in her eyes and looked at Su Jing and said, "All the money we have on us has been stolen."

Su Jing: “………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
