Chapter 466
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at Xiao Muqing and asked, "Did you bring money?" "Ah?" Xiao Muqing blinked blankly. The generals behind him and He Peng didn't understand what Tang Yin meant and looked at each other.
Tang Yin frowned and said, "I asked you if you brought money!" Xiao Muqing finally heard it clearly this time. He hurriedly touched his arms and really found a silver ingot. He handed the silver to Tang Yin and smiled, "Sir, I brought it." "Since you have money, what are you afraid of?!" Tang Yin didn't take it, but just raised his head towards the door of the restaurant and said, "Knock on the door!" Xiao Muqing nodded helplessly to the generals behind him. A burly man walked out quickly, came to the door of the restaurant, raised his fist, and smashed the door repeatedly.
Dong, dong, dong!
The sound of the man smashing the door can be described as deafening. The door panel was trembling under his knocks, and dirt fell from the cracks of the door. After knocking for a while, there was no movement inside, so the big man turned around and looked at Tang Yin and Xiao Muqing. Tang Yin had a cold face and didn't say anything. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Xiao Muqing cleverly said to the big man: "Why did you stop? Keep knocking! See if the people inside are all deaf!" After getting Xiao Muqing's signal, the big man no longer hesitated. This time he raised his fists and knocked hard on the door.
Just when the door was overwhelmed and was about to be broken, someone in the restaurant responded urgently: "I'm coming, I'm coming! Stop knocking! Stop knocking!" As the voice was spoken, there was a burst of scattered footsteps from inside the door, and then the door opened, and a young waiter walked out.
The waiter was sleepy, with an annoyance and dissatisfaction on his face for being disturbed in his sleep. After opening the door, he was about to yell a few words, but when his mouth opened, the curse did not come out. There were countless soldiers of the Feng army standing outside the door, with lanterns and torches, and pine cones, making the night as bright as day. Looking ahead, there were several generals wearing helmets and armor, all with cold expressions, holding their swords. The waiter was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. His lips trembled and he stammered, "Generals...you...what are you doing..." Before he could finish his words, the big man who knocked on the door pushed him away, then walked into the restaurant, looking around with a lightning-like gaze. The restaurant was empty, without a single person, and the chairs were placed on the table, as if the restaurant was pretending to close. Seeing nothing wrong, the big man turned back, his eyes fell on the waiter, and asked coldly: "Why did you open the door so late? Didn't you hear the knock?" The waiter swallowed his saliva, nodded tremblingly, and whispered: "I... I was sleeping... I didn't... I didn't hear the knock..." "Humph!" The big man snorted coldly, ignored him, turned and left the restaurant, came to Tang Yin and Xiao Muqing, saluted, and said respectfully: "Sir, General, there is no problem inside." "Yes." Tang Yin responded, smiled at Xiao Muqing beside him, and then walked into the restaurant. When he came closer, he signaled Xiao Muqing to hand over his ingot of silver to the waiter, and then said with a pleasant face: "Brother, serve us food according to this ingot of silver, as much as you can." Looking at the silver ingot handed over by Xiao Muqing, the waiter swallowed his saliva and looked at Tang Yin with difficulty. Although Tang Yin was not wearing a majestic armor, the waiter could guess that his identity was extraordinary by looking at the respectful attitude of others towards him. He said carefully: "This... General, I'm really sorry, the store has closed, and the manager has already gone to bed, and there is nothing to eat in the store now." After hearing what the waiter said, Tang Yin didn't say much, but walked to the window, opened it, and looked out the window with his hands behind his back. At this time, the generals under Xiao Muqing slapped the table and shouted: "You go and call the chef immediately, and call your shopkeeper out too!" Seeing that the waiter was standing there and not leaving, a general raised his eyebrows and pulled out half of his sword. With the sound of sand, the waiter was frightened and almost fainted. He didn't dare to say a word and ran to the backyard.
Not long after, the waiter brought out two people. The one walking in front looked to be in his early forties, with a fat head and big ears, and a wealthy face. The other one was in his twenties, tall and strong. Judging from his clothes, he should also be a waiter in the store.
Seeing so many Fengjun generals coming to the store, the middle-aged man was shocked at first, but he reacted quickly, and greeted them with a smile on his face, bowed to everyone, and greeted: "Oh, I didn't know that you generals were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Don't be surprised, don't be surprised!" Xiao Muqing looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "You are..." "I am the shopkeeper of this store!" "Oh!" Xiao Muqing nodded, looked behind him, looked at the waiter who came out with him, and asked: "Is he the cook of your store?" "No, no, no!" The middle-aged manager shook his head and smiled: "He is also a waiter in the small store. The small store is a small business, how can we afford to hire a cook, and the cooking work has always been done by me." Well! This is also reasonable! Xiao Muqing looked around. This restaurant was indeed small, with only one floor and only six or seven tables. Even hiring two waiters would be a bit redundant. He looked back at Tang Yin, and then said to the middle-aged manager: "Serve as much as we pay, and be quick!" "Okay, okay! Generals, please wait a moment!" The middle-aged manager agreed repeatedly, then looked at the two waiters and walked quickly into the back kitchen.
At this time, the two waiters also started to get busy, moving tables and chairs, delivering dishes and chopsticks, and shuttled back and forth.
Tang Yin returned to the table and sat down with Xiao Muqing and others one after another. The latter took out the map, put it on the table, and explained to Tang Yin in a low voice: "Sir, our army has completed the search here. Is there any place left here? Is there any place here?" Searched." Xiao Muqing said while drawing on the map with her finger.
Tang Yin listened carefully. After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, he picked up the map and looked at it carefully. Then he pondered for a moment and said quietly: "At today's speed, I'm afraid it will take three days to search the entire city." Xiao Muqing He sighed softly and said: "My lord, there is nothing we can do about it! Old thief Zhong Tian is cunning, and it is not easy to find out his hiding place. The general is afraid that there will be omissions, so he can only investigate slowly and carefully." "The actual situation is like this, no matter how anxious Tang Yin is, it's useless. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "You are right." Hearing Tang Yin's tone soften, Xiao Muqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir, even if the old thief Zhong Tian can conquer the world." The general will dig him out and hand him over to the adults!" While he was talking, the tall and sturdy man walked over, carrying a tray with a teapot and teacups on it, maybe because Due to the tense relationship, my palms were trembling when I put down the teapot. Some of the hot tea poured out of the spout and splashed on the table.
The waiter hurriedly pulled the handkerchief off his shoulder and wiped the tea on the table clean.
Tang Yin and Xiao Muqing looked up at him at the same time and didn't think anything of it. He Peng, who was standing by, stared at him with doubts in his eyes.
Soon, the waiter retreated to the back kitchen, but He Peng still looked at the kitchen and did not take it back for a long time. Both Tang Yin and Xiao Muqing noticed his abnormality. The former did not recognize him and did not ask questions. Xiao Muqing asked: "General He Peng, what are you... looking at?" "Ah!" He Peng came to his senses and turned around hurriedly. , cupped his hands to Tang Yin and Xiao Muqing and said, "My lord, General Xiao, it's nothing, it's just..." Tang Yin smiled and said, "It's just what? Just say what you want, no need to worry." "Yes!" He Peng said seriously: "I Looking at the guy just now, I feel a little familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while. It's really strange..." After hearing this, Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "There are many similar people in the world. "It's nothing." He Peng understood this, but he felt that he must have met this person, but in his impression, there seemed to be no one he knew who lived in Zhangyu. Instead of relaxing, his brows became more and more wrinkled.
Seeing this, Tang Yin also began to become suspicious. He is a suspicious person by nature, and He Peng behaves in such a strange manner for no reason. It is impossible for him to target an inconspicuous clerk.
Tang Yin said to the generals of the Pingyuan Army on the left and right: "Try using insight." Everyone was startled for a moment, and then responded knowingly. They all turned their heads and looked towards the back kitchen. At the same time, a strange light suddenly flashed in their eyes. After reading, the generals looked at each other, then put away their insight skills, and slowly shook their heads to Tang Yin, indicating that they had not detected any spiritual martial arts in the other party.
Tang Yin blinked, chuckled, shook his head, and said to He Peng: "Don't think too much, let's eat first. We have to continue to trace the whereabouts of the old thief Zhong Tian tonight." "Yes! Sir!" He Peng Peng agreed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
The fire in the back kitchen is freshly lit, and the rice is cooked freshly, so of course it cannot be done faster. After a while, everyone drank the tea brought by the waiter. Xiao Muqing shouted loudly: "Brother, bring a few more pots of tea!" "General, wait a moment!" The two waiters agreed, went to the back kitchen, and brought more tea. Four pots of tea are served.
Taking advantage of the waiter's opportunity to deliver tea, Tang Yin carefully looked at the tall and strong waiter. If you don't pay close attention, it would be hard to see. There was a thick layer of calluses in the palms of the waiter's hands. Of course, the hands of people who often do manual labor There are calluses all over the body, but the tall and strong man looks fair and clean, with fine skin and tender flesh, which makes people suspicious.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, and picked up the hot teacup that had just been placed in front of him with two fingers. Without any warning, he flicked his wrist and threw all the boiling tea in front of the tall waiter.
