After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 555 If you want to make trouble, make it bigger

  At this time, the light keeper came to report:

   "Prince Chiyan has arrived and is already waiting outside the building."

  The demon emperor walked back again, looking out of the sky, the night was already deep:

   "Send him in."

  …

  Before the sun set, the civilians in Lingxu City were returning home from work one after another, so the main roads and deer carts ushered in the peak passenger traffic season.

  There are regulations in the city that only horse (beast) carts, deer carts, and monsters are allowed on the main street at Maoshi and Shenshi, that is, one hour each in the morning and evening, to avoid traffic congestion.

  Those who can ride horse-drawn carriages and barge beasts are either rich or expensive. To put it bluntly, during these two periods, civilians are restricted from traveling in private cars, and they can only take bus deer carts.

  The deer cart He Lingchuan was riding in was packed with forty people, not to mention seats, there was not even a place to stay. Next to him was an aunt of equal length and width, with her head buried directly on his chest.

  The happiness of the previous life, when everyone was intimate at the peak of the evening, has returned.

  The main road is full of horses and horses, and the deer cart can only stop and go.

   It was only ten miles in total, and it was bumpy for more than half an hour. He Lingchuan finally arrived at the station, and squeezed out of the deer cart with great effort.

  The aunt behind her looked a little lost.

   After walking for another quarter of an hour and asking three passers-by, He Lingchuan finally arrived at his destination.

  He looked up at the shop sign in front of him:

  Songyang Prefecture.

  The facade of this branch rudder is bigger and more glamorous than the main rudder opened by Songyang Mansion in Shihuan City, Yuan Country. After all, in the bustling capital of the world, the higher the ostentation and prestige, the higher the status of the guests will be attracted.

Entering through the eight opposite doors, the picture of the Wolong River is engraved on the two-foot-high photo screen wall. The waterfalls can run, the cranes and birds can fly, and the clouds and mists can flow. middle.

  The most amazing thing is that it also has sound effects.

  The waterfall is like thunder, and the birds are clear. Although it goes back and forth, the sound is attractive.

   Pedestrians who pass here for the first time, many will stop and watch.

  Songyang Mansion puts the handicraft of the master here, which is better than the buddies to solicit customers outside.

  He Lingchuan admired this huge screen wall very much. As long as he walked to the back, the prying eyes outside would be blocked—if there was one.

  The clerk came forward with a smile on his face: "It's the first time for the guest officer to come, so let me introduce you?"

  There were not many customers in the store, so He Lingchuan showed his fangs and dagger, and put it on the table under the vigilant eyes of the clerk: "This is a knife custom-made for me by Songyang Mansion. It is blunt. I heard that the maker is here, so I came here to sharpen the knife."

  The buddy looked at the Fang Fang Dagger: "Which master's masterpiece is this?"

  He Lingchuan smiled: "If you take it to the back, someone will recognize it."

  The buddy was skeptical, but left with a knife in his hand.

  He Lingchuan was looking around in the store, but secretly paying attention to the door.

   Several guests came in successively, none of them looked like spies.

  About a dozen breaths later, the man hurried back, with an even more attentive smile on his face: "Guests, please follow me!"

  The rudder of this division also sells goods in the front, appraises in the middle, and the workshop area in the back.

   It's just that the front area is the largest, and the middle and rear areas are smaller than Shihuan City, that is, the front door is beautifully done, but the back area is not so spacious.

   After all, this is the main city of Lingxu Lower Town, and the rent of this store for two or three days is enough to cover the expenses of He Chunhua's family of four for a whole month.

  He Lingchuan walked up to the second floor of the workshop and saw Li Qingge.

  She is wearing a plain thin shirt with a peach red beige cover, which just complements the fiery red five-leaf brocade outside the window.

  He Lingchuan couldn't tell whether it was the person in the painting or beside the person.

  The man left quickly.

  Li Qingge smiled and said, "Come, come, Mr. Special Envoy, please sit down!"

  He Lingchuan sat down and saw a glass of bright red drink on the table, the color was like blood.

   "Is this for me, or for Fu Shane?"

   "You don't like pomegranate juice?" Li Qingge grabbed half a pomegranate out of nowhere and shook it at him, "This season, the pomegranates in Lingxu City are the sweetest and reddest."

   Indeed, the pomegranate seeds in her hand were so red and purple.

  By the way, her pretty face is also rosy.

  He Lingchuan saw her open a paper bag and pour the light yellow powder inside into a cup.

this?

  He almost stared straight at him: "You just feed me face to face?" Are you too lazy to hide it?

   "What are you thinking?" Li Qingge chuckled, "This is orange powder, add it to make it more flavorful. Would you like to try it?"

   What juice do men drink? He Lingchuan picked it up and took a sip: "Yeah, good." It's so sweet, I don't like it.

   "Grandpa and Shi Er, how are you doing?"

  He, Li Qingge, and Shi Erdang separated in Tai'an City of Chiyan Kingdom, and the two groups of people continued to march to Lingxu City, and he went to investigate the case for Fu Shanyue.

   "It's very good. Sure enough, after we separated from you, everything went smoothly."

  She came to such a conclusion, He Lingchuan could only smile wryly.

   It seems to be true.

   "Second Master Shi is still in Lingxu City, have you seen him?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "Not yet."

   "Want me to tell you?"

   "No. It's better for him not to meddle in my business now." Master Shi Er knows part of He Lingchuan's origin, and now he is closely watched by Bai Ziqi. It would be bad if Shi Er was caught by the vine.

  He Lingchuan took out a small brocade flag from the storage ring: "In a few days, Sir, please give this flag to Shi Er, and he will naturally understand."

  When he left the Demon's Nest Swamp and was looking for a caravan to go to Lingxu City, he made an agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce that when he arrived in Lingxu City, he would give them Zhu Erniang's pass. From then on, the Shimen Chamber of Commerce can pass through the Demon's Nest Swamp and act as an agent for the unique business of the Crypt Spider.

  However, there have been many changes along the way. He Lingchuan even separated from the Shimen caravan in Tai'an Town of Chiyan Kingdom. Now that he is already in Lingxu City, he is about to complete the agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.

  Li Qingge didn't ask any more questions, took the flag and put it away, and sighed: "You are afraid of troublesome Shi Er, so you are not afraid of trouble me?"

  He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Songyang Mansion has a presence here, and I'm here to buy things."

  Li Qingge kept sizing him up: "I've also heard about Young Master He's actions in Baishazhen."

   "So fast?" He Lingchuan was delighted. This is not Yuan country, but Li Qingge's news is still very well informed.

  For him who is unfamiliar with the place, this is a good thing.

"Zhong Sunmou disappeared in Baisha, the son-in-law of Da Si Nong was arrested, and the Qingfu Temple was burned to the ground. These days, rumors have spread in Lingxu City." Li Qingge laughed, "You and Let me tell you, are these things related?"

   "Yes." He Lingchuan did not elaborate, "How much do you know about the details of Zhong Sunmou's disappearance?"

   "I heard that Zhong Sunmou was robbed by a monster in Baisha, and that monster was Cen Boqing's subordinate."

   "Anything else?" He Lingchuan nodded to himself, "Did you mention me?"

"Well—no." Li Qingge thought for a while, "What I heard is that Zhong Sunmou wanted to deal with this case as a spy case, but was obstructed by Prince Chiyan in every possible way. As for you, a great hero, you were Invisible."

  What kind of character is He Lingchuan, how can he be qualified to be put on the gossip table in Lingxu City?

   "Let me tell you, this is a good thing for you." Ordinary people should stay away from the vortex in the imperial capital.

   "Where did Sir Sir get this news?"

   "Everyone knows about it." Li Qingge laughed, "Why, you still want to find out about my source?"

   Young Master He has always been a very interesting person.

   "There are always many versions of rumors." Especially such a big melon.

  Li Qingge has a deep meaning: "From the beginning to the end, I have only heard this one statement."

   "Then maybe someone deliberately spread it to unify the caliber."

   "Who knows?" Li Qingge adjusted his sitting posture, looking even more lazy.

   "In this way, the Zhongsun family may not know that there is someone like me?"

   "It's hard to say. Didn't Zhong Sunmou bring his attendants to Baisha?"

"some."

   "If these servants return to Lingxu City, you and Zhong Sunmou will have nothing to hide." Li Qingge picked a pomegranate seed and put it in his mouth, "Are you afraid they will trouble you?"

   "I would like to ask Sir Sir for a favor." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Let them know that I have arrived in Lingxu City."

   Li Qingge's cheeks froze, and he looked over with a little surprise.

  He Lingchuan's answer really exceeded her expectations.

   "You still want to notify them?"

  Zhongsun's family still has some roots in Lingxu City.

   "Yes." He Lingchuan asked her, "Will it be difficult?"

   “It can be done, but in the process of message passing, someone else may still know.”

  He Lingchuan frowned.

  Li Qingge thought he was in a difficult situation, but He Lingchuan clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Wonderful, the Sir reminded you wonderfully! It's best that everyone in Lingxu City knows about it! Why didn't I think of it before?"

   If you want to make a fuss, make it bigger.

  Li Qingge put down the pomegranate and said seriously, "Young master, playing with fire is very dangerous."

   "I have been in a dangerous situation for a long time, and one step back is the abyss." He Lingchuan also restrained his smile, "The more public this matter is, the more people who know me, the safer I will be."

  He thought about it again: "How is Zhong Sunmou's reputation in Lingxu City?"

Li Qingge covered his mouth with a smile and said, "His great-grandfather, Zhong Sunchi, is still very famous. In the early years, he persuaded two aquarium tribes to surrender for Beja, which greatly increased the underwater power of Lingxu City. But Zhong Sunmou's generation Well, they are just ordinary officials' children, nothing outstanding."

   A murloc swimming in the water, named "Chi", He Lingchuan thought it was really interesting.

   "Zhong Sunmou was also appointed as an inspector." He Lingchuan didn't know enough about the official system of Lingxu Kingdom, but seeing Zhong Sunmou holding this title, even Fu Shanyue didn't dare to kill him easily.

  If it wasn't for the fugitive Mai Xuewen, Zhong Sunmou could have walked sideways in Baisha.

"If you want to be an official, how can you do it if you don't have a resume?" Li Qingge's research on Lingxu City is quite in-depth. "Three or four hundred years ago, the inspectors must be the emperor's confidantes or inspectors, and they will go down to inspect the places. , understand the people's sentiments, and test the policy program, so as not to be deceived by bureaucrats; but the greater the power of the inspector, the more disputes involved, the more worried the emperor is about it. Today, the inspector is only a false title, and the emperor has long been Use other means to inspect the place."
