Chapter 555 If You Want to Make a Fuss, Make It Bigger

At this time, the light keeper came to report:

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

The Demon Emperor walked back and looked at the sky. It was already late at night:

"Let him in."

...

Before the sun set, the civilians of Lingxu City had finished work and returned home one after another, so the main roads and deer carts ushered in the peak passenger traffic period.

The city has a rule that during the hours of Mao and Shen, that is, one hour each in the morning and evening, only horse (beast) carts, deer carts and monsters are allowed to pass through the main streets to avoid traffic congestion.

Those who can ride horse carriages and beast carts are either rich or noble. To put it bluntly, during these two periods, civilians are restricted from traveling by private cars, and they can only take public deer carts.

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

The happiness of being close to each other during the evening rush hour in the previous life has returned.

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

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

The aunt behind him looked a little disappointed.

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 Mansion.

The facade of this branch is bigger and more glamorous than the main rudder of Songyang Mansion in Shihuan City, Yuan Country. After all, in the prosperous capital of the world, the higher the pomp and style, the higher the status of the guests attracted.

Entering from the eight doors that open in opposite directions, the two-zhang-high screen wall is carved with a picture of the Wolong River. The waterfall can flow, the cranes can fly, and the clouds can flow, vividly condensing the majestic river scenery into one wall.

The most amazing thing is that it is also equipped with sound effects.

The waterfall is like thunder, and the birds are clear. Although it is repeated over and over again, the sound is attractive.

Many pedestrians who pass by this place for the first time will stop to watch.

Songyang Mansion puts the master's craft here, which is better than the waiter soliciting customers outside.

He Lingchuan admires this huge screen wall very much. As long as he walks to the back, the prying eyes outside will be blocked - if there are any.

The waiter greeted him with a smile: "Sir, this is your first time here. May I introduce you to it?"

There are not many customers in the store. He Lingchuan showed the fanged short knife and put it on the table under the vigilant eyes of the waiter: "This is a knife made for me by Songyang Mansion. It's blunt. I heard that the maker is here, so I came here to sharpen it."

The waiter looked at the fanged short knife: "Whose masterpiece is this?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Take it to the back, and someone will recognize it naturally."

The waiter was skeptical, but still left with the knife.

He Lingchuan looked around the store, but actually paid attention to the door secretly.

Several customers came in one after another, and they didn't look like spies.

About ten breaths later, the waiter hurried back with a more attentive smile on his face: "Dear guest, please follow me!"

This branch is also selling goods in the front, appraisal in the middle, and the workshop area in the back.

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

After all, this is the main urban area of ​​Lingxu Lower City. The rent of this store for two or three days is enough for He Chunhua's family of four to spend for the whole month.

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

She was wearing a plain thin shirt and a pink jacket, which just matched the fiery five-leaf brocade outside the window.

Is it a person in the painting, or a painting beside the person? He Lingchuan couldn't tell for a while.

The waiter left quickly.

Li Qingge smiled and said, "Come on, please sit down, Special Envoy!"

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 Shanyue?"

"You don't like pomegranate juice?" Li Qingge grabbed half a pomegranate from somewhere and shook it at him, "In this season, the pomegranates in Lingxu City are the sweetest and reddest."

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

By the way, her pretty face was also rosy.

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

This?

He almost stared straight: "You add ingredients to me in front of me?" Are you too lazy to cover it up?

"What are you thinking?" Li Qingge chuckled, "This is orange powder, adding it to add more flavor. Try it?"

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

"My Lord, are you and Shi Er safe?"

He and Li Qingge and Shi Er separated in Tai'an City of Chiyan State. The two groups continued to Lingxu City. He went to investigate the case for Fu Shanyue.

"Very good. Sure enough, after I separated from you, the journey was smooth."

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

It seems to be true.

"Shi Er is still in Lingxu City. Have you seen him?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Not yet."

"Do you want me to tell him?"

"No. It's better for him not to get involved in my affairs now." Shi Er knew part of He Lingchuan's background. Now he was being closely watched by Bai Ziqi. It would be bad if Shi Er was found out.

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

When he left the Demon Nest Swamp and looked for a caravan to go to Lingxu City, he agreed with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce that he would give them Zhu Erniang's pass when he arrived in Lingxu City. From then on, the Shimen Chamber of Commerce could pass through the Demon Nest Swamp and act as an agent for the unique business of the burrow spider.

However, there were many changes along the way. He Lingchuan even separated from the Shimen caravan in Tai'an Town of Chiyan Country. Now that he is in Lingxu City, he will complete the agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.

Li Qingge didn't ask much, took the flag and put it away, and sighed: "You are afraid of bothering Shi Er, but you are not afraid of bothering me?"

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Songyang Mansion has a store here, I am here to buy things."

Li Qingge kept looking at him: "I have also heard about Mr. He's actions in Baisha."

"So fast?" He Lingchuan was very happy. This is not Yuan Country, but Li Qingge is still well-informed.

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

"Zhongsun Mou disappeared in Baisha, the son-in-law of the Minister of Agriculture was arrested, and the Qingfu Temple was burned to ashes. These days, it has been spreading in Lingxu City." Li Qingge smiled, "Tell me, are these things related?"

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

"I heard that Zhongsun Mou was kidnapped by a monster in Baisha, and that monster was Cen Boqing's subordinate."

"What else?" He Lingchuan pointed at himself, "Did he mention me?"

"Well-no." Li Qingge thought for a while, "What I heard was that Zhongsun Mou wanted to deal with this case as a spy case, but was obstructed by Prince Chiyan in every possible way. As for you, the great contributor, you have been invisible."

Who is He Lingchuan? How can he be qualified to be put on the gossip table of Lingxu City?

"If you ask me, this is a good thing for you." Ordinary people should stay away from the vortex of the imperial capital.

"Where did you get this information, Sir?"

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

Mr. He has always been a very tactful person.

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

Li Qingge said meaningfully: "From beginning to end, I have only heard this one statement."

"Then maybe someone deliberately spread it, so that they can unify the caliber."

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

"So, the Zhongsun family may not know that there is such a person as me?"

"It's hard to say. Didn't Zhongsun Mou take his servants to Baisha?"

"Yes."

"If these servants return to Lingxu City, your feud with Zhongsun Mou will be exposed." Li Qingge picked a pomegranate seed and put it in her mouth, "Are you afraid that they will cause trouble for you?"

"I want to ask the Lord for a favor." He Lingchuan smiled, "Let them know that I have arrived in Lingxu City."

Li Qingge's cheeks paused, and the look she gave him was a little surprised.

He Lingchuan's answer was really beyond her expectations.

"Do you still want to inform them?"

The Zhongsun family still has some foundation in Lingxu City.

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

"It can be done, but in the process of passing the message, others may know."

He Lingchuan frowned.

Li Qingge thought he was embarrassed, but He Lingchuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, Lord, your reminder is great! It's best if 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 danger for a long time. One step back is the abyss." He Lingchuan also restrained his smile, "The more public this matter is, the more people know me, the safer I will be."

He thought about it again: "What is Zhongsun Mou's reputation in Lingxu City?"

Li Qingge covered his mouth and laughed, "His great-grandfather Zhongsun Chi is still very famous. In his early years, he persuaded two water tribes to surrender for Beijia, which greatly increased the underwater power of Lingxu City. But when it comes to Zhongsun Mou's generation, he is just an ordinary official's son, nothing outstanding."

A fish man swimming in the water, named "Chi", He Lingchuan found it really interesting.

"Zhongsun Mou was also appointed as an inspector." He Lingchuan didn't know much about the official system of Lingxu, but when he saw Zhongsun Mou holding this title, even Fu Shanyue didn't dare to kill him easily.

If it weren't for the fugitive Mai Xuewen, Zhongsun Mou could actually walk sideways in Baisha.

"How can a son of an official become an official without a resume?" Li Qingge has done in-depth research on Lingxu City. "If it were three or four hundred years ago, the inspector must be the emperor's confidant or the supervisor, who would go down to inspect the local area, understand the people's sentiments, and test the policy guidelines to prevent the bureaucrats from deceiving the emperor; but the greater the power of the inspector, the more disputes he intervened in, and the less confident the emperor was in him. Today, the inspector is just an honorary title, and the emperor has long used other means to inspect the local area."
