"Old Pi? I heard that one of the four major stalls in the East Factory is named Pi, and his name is Pi Shaotang. The one downstairs just now is him?"

I have heard the names of the four major stalls, but I have never been able to match them.

The East Factory is divided into inner and outer stalls, each with its own stall head.

The outer ranks are filled by recruited strongmen, there are all kinds of people, and there are also people transferred from Jinyiwei. In short, the composition is complicated.

The composition of the inner file is very simple, and it is done by the eye.

Therefore, including Pi Shaotang, the top four inside stalls are all father-in-laws, who usually live in the palace, even if he wants to see them, he can't see them.

"There is another Xu Jing. They dispatched so many people, it will not be a trivial matter."

"Is it the same as our purpose?" Song Yingbai said: "The moment he saw you just now, he was obviously surprised. He didn't expect our Jinyiwei people to be here too."

"It's hard to say." Li Zhen said: "If not, then it would be best, and we don't need to interfere with their affairs and let them do what they want."

"I'm afraid they think we're in the way, or they don't want to expose themselves and silence you and me." Song Yingbai asked worriedly, "Do they have the guts?"

Li Zhen said: "Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any. It's not true, just adapt to the situation."

Song Yingbai thought to himself, if he was the only one here with a hundred households, he might be killed in all likelihood, but Li Zhen was not so easy to deal with because he was also related to the emperor besides his business, so he didn't As a last resort, the people in Dongchang should not act rashly.

He nodded, "I understand. Just like just now, the people called Dongchang can't figure out our situation."

In the rain and fog, mutual suspicion makes the other party confused about how much they really know, so that they can win a powerful advantage to the maximum extent.

Li Zhen sat down at the kang table and asked Song Yingbai to come over as well. The two of them almost touched their foreheads and continued to analyze the situation, "Fortunately, I only brought you here, and you will not betray me, so we can keep the secret. If you bring more People come, and in today's situation, if we don't get it right, someone will communicate with Dongchang and expose our purpose."

Although there were few helpers, as Li Zhen said, there was less trouble.

Both of them are tight-lipped and don't worry about the secret being exposed, but the East Factory has a large number of people and the more people talk about it, the greater the possibility of revealing the real destination.

Song Yingbai said: "If the people from Dongchang also came to Hell Well, what should we do?"

Dongchang didn't dare to kill Li Zhen, so would Li Zhen dare to touch Dongchang's stall?

I'm afraid I can't do it unless it's absolutely impossible, and I dare not.

Li Zhen's eyes were cold, and then he snorted and said, "Then let Dongchang make wedding dresses for us. Apart from these, I think the young man eating downstairs is not an ordinary guy, and he probably has something to do with it."

Song Yingbai said: "No matter who he is, the people in Dongchang have noticed him, let them fight first."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of broken tables and chairs came from downstairs, as if someone had started a fight.

They both stopped their voices immediately, approached the door, and listened to the movement downstairs.

-

The young man twisted a fan's arm in the opposite direction, and poured the wine in his hand into his mouth. After a few sips, the fan couldn't drink any more, and coughed chokingly.

Seeing this, Xu Jing drew his saber out of its sheath, and took a step forward, but was stopped by Pi Shaotang, who cupped his hands at the young man and said: "My subordinates offended the young man with their ignorance, please be merciful to the young man, you see It's not easy to find a doctor in this desert wasteland, he is not married yet, and he is disabled, so I can't explain to his family, let him go."

Meeting Li Zhen and the others just now was enough to cause headaches, and another master came. This man is young, but his skills are by no means ordinary.

The people he brought out this time were all carefully selected, not to mention all the masters, they were all similar, but the fan just now was captured with one move, showing a completely crushing trend.

Where the three don't care, they have a mission, and they already have the unexpected factor of Li Zhen, so they can only choose to calm down.

After hearing this, the young man pushed the fanzi to Pi Shaotang and the others, "You can speak some human words." Changed a table, sat down and continued to drink.

Pi Shaotang walked over, folded his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "May I ask the young hero's name?"

"What are you doing?"

"We, to tell you the truth, we are members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I took these monkey cubs out all day, which made them all very angry and unruly."

"It turns out that you are officials, no wonder, I just saw that your behavior is different from ordinary people. My name is Xiao Shaozi."

Pi Shaotang had never heard of this name before, so he suspected it was a fake name, "So it's Shaoxia Xiao."

"I can't be called a chivalrous man, I'm just a wanderer." Xiao Shaozi smiled and said, "As officials of the Ministry of Punishment, you are the chivalrous men who serve the country and the people by arresting the imperial court and invading everywhere."

There is something in the words, deliberately flattering him to be disgusting, and there is nothing he can do about it.Pi Shaotang could only accept it with a smile, "Don't bother me, Mr. Xiao, please eat."

Pi Shaotang came to the counter and said to the sluggish accountant: "We use the treasure land to do something, and we have all the rooms. We will stay for five to ten days." After speaking, he winked at Fanzi next to him, A silver coin was placed on the counter.

Pi Shaotang pushed the money into the counter, "When we leave, there is still a reward, take it, don't let anyone in again."

The accountant collected the money and said to the two clerks: "Hurry up and take the guests to the guest room, and also, fasten the door, no one is allowed to come in."

The fat man and the thin man looked at each other, and were about to take Pi Shaotang upstairs to the guest room, when Xu Jing suddenly drew his sword and picked up the key chain from behind the accountant, "No need, let's go to the room by ourselves .”

More than a dozen people walked upstairs in a mighty manner, making the stairs creak.

Li Zhen and Song Yingbai who were in the room heard that they were coming upstairs, and hurriedly left the door without saying a word.

Fortunately, their guest room was at the end of the corridor, otherwise, they would have been flanked by people from the East Factory.

-

The inn was a little bigger than a palm, and it was difficult for Pi Shaotang to live on the same floor as Li Zhen and the others. He picked and chose, and lived at the other end of the corridor, facing Li Zhen and the others from afar.

As soon as he entered the room, he asked his subordinates to check the room, then sat down at the kang table, pondering what Song Yingbai said just now.

What is meant by "people have arrived on schedule"?

This must have been exposed, otherwise what would Li Zhen do in this borderland?This is a plan gone wrong.

Xu Jing leaned forward at this time, "Our trip is confidential. I can guarantee that no matter whether it is in the capital or along the way, the hidden piles of Jinyiwei have not spied on our whereabouts. Li Zhen knew in advance and came here to intercept us? Is it possible? If he intercepted us, why didn't he bring more people? Most importantly, Jin Yiwei has no reason to interfere with our actions, especially Li Zhen, those two evil members of the Yu family, what is he doing?"

After hearing this, Pi Shaotang thought for a while and said, "You can't say that. Maybe he came here just to catch us, so that we may be the first army in Dongchang. Besides, if they are not prepared, we will It came so suddenly, could it be that Song Yingbai could discuss it with Li Zhen in an instant, deliberately sell me a loophole, so as to disturb my mood?"

Xu Jingdao: "It's not impossible, that kid Song Yingbai is very slippery, Cao Dao has been fooled by him before."

When Pi Shaotang heard Xu Jing mentioning Cao Xiaochuan, he felt uncomfortable. He had been in the palace for more than [-] years and had only reached the top position. That Cao Xiaochuan was just flattering, and happened to have the same surname as Cao Xiang's father-in-law, so he was dismissed. Adopted as an adopted son, he was equal to him at a young age.

And this time, Cao Xiaochuan instigated him from behind, telling him to charge in front, forget it, and promoted Xu Jing to Qianhu, and placed him beside him to monitor, so he also brought Dongchang Qianhu Mao Congxian to check and balance he.

Pi Shaotang said to Mao Congxian who was sitting on a low stool beside him, "Congxian, what do you think?"

Mao Congxian smiled lightly: "If you have time to try it, they will know."

"Is it that easy to try?" Xu Jing asked coldly.

At this time, a palm-sized little monkey emerged from Mao Congxian's sleeve, jumped on his shoulder mischievously, scratched his ears and looked around with black eyes, making Pi Shaotang smile, and took a piece of peanut from the table Throw it to him, "Congxian, he messed with us, you go and try them too."

Mao Congxian smiled and said, "Yes."

But no matter what, Pi Shaotang still couldn't let it go, he thought about Song Yingbai's words over and over again, kept recalling the tone of his speech, and didn't even eat well.

The room was cramped, and it was always suffocating to stay in it. The lobby downstairs was spacious. After packing their bags, everyone from the East Factory came to the lobby to sit down again.

Pi Shaotang saw Xiao Shaoci wiping his sword at the corner table, but Li Zhen and Song Yingbai were not there.

Mao Congxian lowered his head to peel peanuts for the little monkey, and said in a low voice, "It seems that they really have an affair, otherwise, what can two big men do if they stay in the room and can't come out."

Pi Shaotang narrowed his eyes. If Song Yingbai really didn't know Li Zhen clearly, then it is possible that he was beaten by him just now, and he leaked his words in a hurry.

-

At this time, Song Yingbai and Li Zhen were sleeping with their heads covered in the room, and they had to get up at night to check the situation.

When the two of them woke up, the surroundings were pitch black, and when they went downstairs, they saw the clepsydra placed in the lobby indicating that it was time.

The two of them called Xiao Er, and the thin man who was on watch next to him poked his head out, "Guest officer, what are your orders?"

"Get something to eat." Song Yingbai threw a broken piece of silver to the skinny guy. He held the silver with both hands, and hurriedly greeted: "Okay, the hot noodle soup will be here in a while."

Song Yingbai and the others were very loud. As soon as they sat down at the table, they felt a noise upstairs. It must be that the people in Dongchang heard their voices and got up to check, but the lights were not on. They should be standing in the house. Ears eavesdrop.

Soon, the skinny guy came with two bowls of hot noodle soup, one bowl for each person, "You two take it easy, do you have any orders?"

Song Yingbai shook his head, the thin man went down, and he and Li Zhen bowed their heads and ate noodles to replenish their strength, and they could only toss around at night.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, there was a slapping sound at the door, and then a male voice shouted, "Open the door, it's me—"

"Shopkeeper, you're back." The thin man hurriedly opened the door, letting in a man in a blue cloth shirt, about fifty years old, with a leather bag hanging on his shoulder, sweeping the dust on his body as he came in, and He ordered: "Quickly prepare two rooms, there are guests who want to stay in the hotel."

As soon as the words fell, two men followed behind Wu Ning, both wearing big hats, covering most of their faces, one was tall and the other was short and fat.

The thin man said nervously: "Shopkeeper, a group of guest officials came earlier today, and they have already booked our shop, and no other guests are allowed to stay."

"Is it important to be rich? Even if we play on the floor, we have to live here!" The short and fat man raised his head and roared.

The tall slender man next to him comforted: "Brother, please be calm and don't be impatient. Don't make too much noise. Everyone is asleep at this hour."

Li Zhen and Song Yingbai exchanged glances, something went wrong, why did someone come again.

At this time, there was a noise upstairs, and a person scolded angrily: "Why are you shouting at night?! Don't let others sleep?"

Unexpectedly, it was not the people from Dongchang who made trouble, but the young man from before, Xiao Shaozi. He stepped on the stairs creakingly and went downstairs in one breath. When he came to the noisy short and fat man, "Get out!"

"Hey, the shopkeeper didn't let us go out, what are you?!" He pushed Xiao Shaozi vigorously, but Xiao Shaozi was not easy to deal with, so he straightened up vigorously and took him back a step in shock.

"Haha, interesting, I didn't expect to meet an opponent." After finishing speaking, the man began to take off his bamboo hat, and it seemed that he was going to have a big fight.

"Brother, forget it, don't make noise."

Shopkeeper Wu also persuaded the fight, "Hey, I have something to say, please don't use force."

Li Zhen and Song Yingbai watched the fun, anyway, the two groups didn't know each other, so they called casually.

At this time, one of the rooms upstairs opened the door, Xu Jing came out, stood beside the railing and said, "Stop making noise, we have booked all the guest rooms during the day so we don't want to be disturbed, shopkeeper, how can we put it away?" Someone came in?"

The man in the bamboo hat pointed at him and said: "How can you do things like this? This is not the capital city, there are inns everywhere. Take a look yourself, there is only such an inn in this area. If you book the inn, you will be comfortable. Others Do you want to live in the sand? Let me tell you, we have to live even if we build a bed.”

Song Yingbai looked at Xu Jing to see how he answered. The truth was that he couldn't handle it, so he turned and went to the innermost room, and then came out and said: "Our master said that he didn't mean to occupy the guest room, but just wanted to make it quiet. Since someone If you want to live, then live."

"Hmph, that's it. Xiao Er, take us to the guest room." The man in the bamboo hat snorted, knocked Xiao Shaozi away, and strode upstairs.

Song Yingbai saw the tall slender man following him, shaking his head as he walked, looking helpless.

After shopkeeper Wu persuaded Xiao Shaozi to go upstairs again, he smiled and apologized to Song Yingbai and Li Zhen, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed you two."

This is Wu Ning who Pan Yuetai said would be served with red soup?It looks like a shopkeeper doing small business, nothing special.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Song Yingbai said with a smile.

At this time, the thin man leaned forward and asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, do you know these two customers?"

"I don't know, I met them on the road and said they wanted to stay in a shop, so I brought them here. Unexpectedly, someone rented out the shop." Wu Ning said: "Our business here is pretty good haha."

At this time, after eating with Li Zhen, Song Yingbai returned to his guest room, blew out the candles, and whispered in the dark.

"Who is that person who came here just now?" Song Yingbai said, "Are we still going to act tonight?"

Li Zhen lowered her voice, "Didn't you notice that one of them is a woman? It's the tall and thin one."

"The man was wearing a bamboo hat. I didn't even see his face. As for his voice, it was vague and difficult to identify."

"I can see clearly, it's definitely a woman." Li Zhen said: "Forget about it tonight, and then observe."

Song Yingbai hummed softly, returned to his bedding position, and lay down with his clothes on.

After sleeping too much during the day, he would not be able to fall asleep. After about half an hour, he suddenly saw a clear shadow on the window.

It was a monkey the size of a palm, with its arms hooked around the edge of the window, dangling.

monkey?Are there monkeys in the desert? !Just when Song Yingbai was about to get up, a dart flew out of Li Zhen's hand, shot at the monkey, pierced the window paper, and wiped against the monkey's body.

The monkey squeaked twice, climbed up to the roof with both paws.

Li Zhen immediately opened the window to take a look. The monkey was scurrying in the dark night and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Song Yingbai judged that it was most likely someone's monkey in Dongchang. As for why it would lie on the window at night, anyway, he didn't believe it was just playing in the wind.

The next morning, when they went downstairs to have breakfast, they saw a handsome man sitting in the lobby, smiling at them, and a little golden-haired monkey was squatting on the table in front of him.

The little monkey even wore a well-fitting straight gown, and chewed hazelnuts from its owner from time to time.

This person Song Yingbai had the impression that he was from Dongchang. He was deliberately exposing that he was the one who let the monkey out to peep last night.

Li Zhen saw it, didn't say anything, and found a table with Song Yingbai to sit down. Before Xiao Er came to serve, the man and his monkey came over.

Mao Congxian held the little monkey in both hands, and asked with a smile, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

Li Zhen nodded in agreement. After Mao Congxian sat down, he introduced himself: "My name is Mao Congxian, and this is my monkey named Dandan. I let Dandan go out to pee last night. It said that it accidentally ran into the wrong room and was almost caught. Someone shot it with a dart, and as soon as it told me the location of the room, I knew it was broken, and I had offended my lord, so I brought it here to make amends, come, Dandan, and apologize to both of you."

The little monkey's big eyes flickered, and he really stood on the table and cupped his fists to apologize.

Song Yingbai is not surprised, there are even goblins in this world, so there is nothing strange about a person who can understand animal language.

However, his monkey is really cute, Song Yingbai couldn't help but take a second look, he should give it a chopstick to play with as a golden cudgel.

Mao Congxian said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Song doesn't hate Dandan, why don't you come to my room later and let Dandan perform some unique skills for you."

As the saying goes, how can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair, Song Yingbai was trying to follow Mao Congxian's words, "Okay."

Who knew that as soon as he said it, he heard Li Zhen say: "Don't go!"

Of course Song Yingbai can't go, but he's a bit concerned about Li Zhen's tone, what are you doing, he has a tone of caring about his other half, but when he thinks of their current personality, he can't bear it, and hummed: "If you don't go, you won't go .”

Mao Congxian said repeatedly: "Then let's do it another day, and don't disturb your meal." He got up and left.

He returned to Pi Shaotang, and whispered: "I think they seem real. As soon as I invited Song Yingbai, Li Zhen turned his face in an instant. I can see that he is indeed jealous."

Pi Shaotang thought to himself, so the two of them have that kind of relationship. If so, Song Yingbai was so angry that he exposed the two of them yesterday.

He has been thinking about this question all night.

Xu Jing whispered from the side: "Are you sure? Don't let the two of them play it, they tricked you."

"Have you ever messed with a man? No, listen to me if you haven't." Mao Congxian gave him a casual look, "I'm sure Li Zhen cares about that Song very much, and is afraid that other men will abduct him, with that look in his eyes I can't wait to kill me. Didn't you see that I came back quickly."

Without practice, there is no right to speak. Xu Jing was at a disadvantage and stopped speaking.

Pi Shaotang put down his chopsticks, his eyes froze, "Even if Li Zhen knew about our plan, I don't believe he would save those two sons of Yu's family. He appeared here just to catch our East Factory. Let him, the factory guards and his family are easy to talk to."

-

Song Yingbai pretended to be nonchalant and said in a low voice: "Mao Congxian invited me to his house to see monkeys, why didn't he let me go, how can I get information if I don't get in touch with it?! Didn't you say it too, it's false and true." It's time to put some smoke bombs give him.

Li Zhen rested his chin with one hand, and turned his face slightly, "I'm afraid that he will stun you and harm you. He is a notorious Long Yang, and what he likes to do most is to make his subordinates drink at home. After fainting... ...If Pi Shaotang hadn't protected him, he would have died long ago."

"Scum."

"Yes, he is a scum, stay away from him. And he came here just now to test our relationship, so I deliberately pretended to be jealous and refused to let you go. He must believe it. Yesterday you said He must be convinced of the leak. And I don’t think they came here for the hell well. If so, according to Dongchang’s practice, they must have searched here and there. They are so quiet, it seems What are you waiting for?"

Song Yingbai looked at him and sighed in his heart, okay, this is easy to lie, hard to lie, and even more difficult to consistently implement the character.

However, if Dongchang didn't come here for Hell Well, then he believed that the two of them came here to snipe them.

Then his real intention to find the hell well with Li Zhen can be well covered up.

After all, if they didn't make such a feint, Dongchang would definitely have to find out their purpose, and that would be really troublesome.

Sacrificing a little reputation and preserving the overall situation, Song Yingbai felt that it was a good deal, after all, his reputation had already been sieved.

"I don't care. I have a filial piety. If you don't discuss marriage within three years, you will be miserable. If it is heard by that lady, what can you do?" Song Yingbai showed a "distressed" expression.

Li Zhen pretended to be angry, and tapped Song Yingbai's forehead with the tip of his chopsticks, "You can eat."

All this was seen by Mao Congxian, and he tsk-tsk said: "Look, you are flirting."

At this time, shopkeeper Wu Ning Wu stood in the back kitchen and asked the fat and thin guys, "How many people live in our store now? Why do I look at them all so strangely?"

The fat man said: "The wave with the largest number of people claims to be from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to handle the case. The two of them are together as a couple. They seem to know them, but there should be festivals and beware of each other. The single man, who calls himself Xiao Shaozi, does not know what he does. The rest It was you who brought back those two people yesterday."

Wu Ning's face turned sour, "Everyone seems to know how to kung fu, and they are going to make a fuss, and they haven't demolished our shop yet."

The thin man also said: "Shopkeeper, what should we do?"

"Let's wait and see what happens. If we open the door to do business, can we still throw people into the desert? Hey, it's really hard to do some business."

As soon as the words were finished, there was another knock on the door. Wu Ning hurriedly came out of the kitchen to open the door, "Here we come, we come, don't knock."

Pi Shaotang broke the jar, and originally planned to take over the store and leave no one else behind.

As a result, Li Zhen came out of nowhere, and Xiao Shaozi, who was a knight-errant, came out last night to wander the rivers and lakes. Now it is a ghost knocking on the door, and he doesn't care.

Wu Ning opened the door, and a young man dressed as a scholar walked in, leading a ten-year-old child.

Song Yingbai's seat was facing the gate, he was eating wontons, when he suddenly saw the child, he almost bit his tongue, oh my god, isn't this Ning Caichen and the centipede spirit? !

Seeing his expression, Li Zhen turned her head curiously, and saw the two people who appeared at the door with equally surprised expressions.

On the other side, Xu Jing shot up and looked at the door with a murderous look.

Song Yingbai secretly wiped his cold sweat, this inn is not undercurrent, but blood is about to flow.
