When Xu Shouchun was on vacation, the prefect's Yamen suddenly bought so much black powder, and it was raining continuously. What was it doing?
Even if you want to demolish something and need explosives, you shouldn't rush to buy them back in the next few days, right?
Lin Xu thought about it seriously, but still couldn't figure it out!
But for some reason, he had an intuition that the magistrate's Yamen suddenly bought so much black powder, which was definitely not a good thing!
He is a standard activist, but if he can't figure it out, then he won't think about it anymore!
Although I don’t know where Xu Shouchun’s home is, I’ll find out if I ask!
After making up his mind, Lin Xu immediately said: "Chang San, it suddenly occurred to me that there is something urgent. I can't have dinner with you today. Let Yueyao accompany you. I will ask Feng Er or Xiaosi to accompany you later."
you drink."
Chang San immediately said: "Sir, you're welcome! What's the matter? Do you need my help?"
"Haha, I'm going to visit a friend."
"Then let me give you a lift, sir?"
"No, just let Qingyu see me off. You can stay for dinner and try Yueyao's craftsmanship."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Yes, let's stay for a meal."
Yueyao also enthusiastically advised me.
"Sir, sister-in-law, to be honest, there are some urgent matters waiting to be dealt with in our gang today. I will come back to taste my sister-in-law's craftsmanship another day!"
Chang San is a person who pays great attention to details. Since Lin Xu has something to do, he does not dare to let Yue Yao accompany him to dinner. If there is some misunderstanding or even just some gossip, he will not be able to explain it clearly.
!
"Okay, I'll treat you to a nice meal another day!"
Chang San sent him several carts of food and ten thousand kilograms of black gunpowder that he urgently needed. Reasonable and reasonable, he should keep Chang San for a meal.
However, Lin Xu was eager to know why the prefect's Yamen bought this ship of black powder, because intuitively, he felt that there must be something involved, and it was not a trivial matter. Therefore, he was really not in the mood to entertain Chang San at the moment, so he had to make up for it next time.
Let’s have this meal!
"Sir, it's still raining here, and the roads outside are not easy to walk. I heard that there is water in many places. Can't you wait until the rain stops before going?"
Yueyao said with some worry.
"It's okay. I won't go far. You wait for me at home and I'll be back in a while."
Lin Xu smiled and said.
...
Xu Mansion.
"Sir, we're here."
Chen Qingyu stopped the carriage in front of Xu Shouchun's house and said to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu opened the sedan curtain and took a look. This house was very ordinary. It didn't look much different from other nearby houses, and it also looked slightly dilapidated. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't be able to tell that this was Suzhou.
The prefect's house.
However, Lin Xu knew that they were not wrong, because they asked along the way. In addition, the word "Xu Mansion" above the door of the house also announced the owner of this place.
Lin Xu held an oil-paper umbrella, got off the carriage, came to the door of the house, and knocked hard twice.
It’s raining so heavily. If you don’t use some effort, the people inside may not be able to hear you!
Although Lin Xu had exerted a lot of effort, it turned out that his strength was still too weak. After knocking on the door, there was no movement inside for a long time.
So, he had to knock on the door twice with more force.
This time, after waiting for a while, the door of the house was finally opened.
The person who opened the door was an old man about fifty years old. His face was wrinkled and his back was hunched. Judging from the way he walked, his legs and feet seemed to be a little awkward.
"Old man, is this Mr. Xu's house?"
Lin Xu cupped his hands and asked politely.
"Who are you?"
The old man looked Lin Xu up and down, and when he saw that he was unfamiliar, he asked instead of answering, with a cold expression.
"I'm Lin Xu, the boss of Linshan Company."
"Oh, so you are Boss Lin! Disrespect! Disrespect!"
The old man not only knew Lin Xu's name, but also knew that Lin Xu was his master's friend, so his attitude immediately became polite and a smile appeared on his face. This chapter has been completed!
