Back at the inn, Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to find Xue Qingshan to find out about Dongchuan Hou Shizi, but he searched around and couldn't find anyone.
Turning his head, he saw Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and the others sitting in the yard basking in the sun, enjoying the rare peaceful time, and asked them: "Master Baihu hasn't come back yet?"
"Not yet." Xin Lu replied.
"Did you report to another department again?" Qin Shaoyou muttered in his heart.
Then he frowned again and guessed: "It's broad daylight now, he couldn't have gone to a brothel, right?"
"Brother Shaoyou, are you back from the Zhouzhen Yaosi?" Xu Ba'an, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and asked curiously: "Tell us, tell us, what's going on in the Zhouzhen Yaosi?"
What does it look like?"
Xin Lu and others also became interested and said one after another: "That's right, tell us about it, we haven't been there yet."
Although they are all night watchmen, they have never entered the Zhouzhen Yaosi. They have only stopped and looked outside the door, full of curiosity about the appearance, situation, etc. inside.
Before Qin Shaoyou opened his mouth, seeing Cui Yougui who was in the limelight, he jumped in and said, "You want to know what's going on in the Demon Division of Zhouzhen? Tell me earlier, ask me, I know."
Hearing this, not only Xu Baan and others, but also Qin Shaoyou were surprised.
"You know? Have you been there?"
"Been there!" Cui Youyou nodded.
Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, he took the initiative to explain:
"Let me tell you, the prison in Zhouzhen Yaosi is called a big one. It is divided into many areas according to the prisoner's strength and crime. Each area has a corresponding mechanism to prevent prisoners from escaping. But no matter it is
The environment in any district is not very good. Not only is the smell strong, but there are also quite a few fleas, lice, rats, etc. Oh, and by the way, there is also food, which is terrible..."
Hearing this, someone couldn't help but said: "How come you know so much about the prison in the Demon Division of Zhouzhen? You even know the food situation? And don't just talk about the prison, but also talk about other places."
Cui Youyou glared: "I don't know about other places, I only know the situation in the prison."
"Why is this?" everyone asked in astonishment.
Cui Yougui was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Two years ago, I went down the mountain to practice. Because I was curious about the situation in the Demon Division of Zhouzhen, I used escape skills to escape. As soon as I entered
I was discovered and captured by a group of night watchmen. They first trapped me in the ground, then dug me out, beat me violently and put me in jail. It took several days before they released me... so I was very
I know about the Yaosi Prison in Zhouzhen, but I don’t know much about the situation elsewhere.”
Everyone was stunned.
No one thought that this boy Cui Yougui would be so bold as to dare to escape into the Yizhou Town Demon Division!
To be honest, he was not killed on the spot, it was already blessed by Daozu.
But then I thought about it, it was not surprising that he dared to challenge the evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect and escaped into the Yizhou Town Demon Division.
Fortunately, Cui Yougui has been quite honest since he came to the Demon Division of Luocheng Town. This is probably the reason why Master Zhang gave him repeated orders.
After chatting with everyone and answering some questions about what he had seen in the Demon Division of Zhouzhen, Qin Shaoyou asked again: "Has anyone seen Yi Cheng?"
A night watchman raised his hand and replied: "I just saw him in the kitchen, sneaking around and not knowing what he was doing."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said, "Okay, you guys talk first, I'll talk to Yi Cheng about something."
He planned to ask Yi Cheng for news about Prince Dongchuan Hou.
Even though the officials in Yi Cheng were not big or even high-ranking, because they were doing the work of welcoming and escorting people, they often knew the situation of the local officials and gentry very well.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the kitchen, Qin Shaoyou smelled the smell of medicine. When he walked in, he saw Yi Cheng squatting in front of a stove, boiling medicine in a sand pot, and holding a fan in his hand to fan the fire.
"Niu Yi Cheng, are you busy?" Qin Shaoyou greeted with a smile.
Niu Yicheng, who was concentrating on brewing the medicine, was shocked.
He stood up in a hurry, waving his hands anxiously: "Ah, I am boiling medicine, but don't get me wrong, what I am boiling is not medicine to strengthen yang and nourish the kidneys, but medicine to cure coughs. It has been raining these past few days, and the weather has changed.
Not sure, I feel a little bit cold..."
After that, he pretended to cough a few times.
Qin Shaoyou was speechless: I didn't even ask you what medicine you were taking. Besides, you coughed just because you coughed, and why were you beating your waist? Besides, I witnessed the whole process when Shan Daonian helped you get the medicine yesterday!
Complaints are complaints, Qin Shaoyou did not express these inner thoughts.
On the contrary, he followed Niu Yicheng's words and paid attention to his 'wind-cold symptoms', and then found an appropriate opportunity to bring the topic to Jincheng's dignitaries.
Qin Shaoyou talked so much that the Yi Cheng fainted with his talk. He did not doubt his intention to inquire for information at all. He just thought that he came from the town below and was full of curiosity and yearning for the dignitaries in the city.
Such things are not uncommon, and Yi Cheng has been asked about this type of information before.
Also under Qin Shaoyou's [Smart Tongue] offensive, Yi Cheng's desire to show off was aroused. He didn't even need Qin Shaoyou to ask questions, so he took the initiative to tell all the news and tidbits he knew.
Although Qin Shaoyou didn't speak much, he actually dominated the conversation.
Therefore, most of the intelligence and tidbits that Yi Cheng talked about were related to Dongchuan Hou Shizi.
Including Dongchuan Hou Shizi's interpersonal relationships, hobbies, temperament, abilities, etc., everything is discussed.
However, Yi Cheng didn't think this was Qin Shaoyou's deliberate prying.
In his opinion, all topics were spoken by him on his own initiative. Qin Shaoyou never spoke much from the beginning to the end, but only occasionally offered a few compliments. He was a pretty good listener.
Originally, Qin Shaoyou planned to find a way to create an opportunity to 'encounter' Dongchuan Hou Shizi after he found out his character and hobbies.
When the time comes, he puts on the human skin mask, and he won't be afraid of being discovered. If he uses his [Skillful Tongue] again, he might be able to get closer to Dongchuan Hou Shizi and pry out his words after some tongue-in-cheek talk.
to the identity of the 'mysterious nobleman'.
Unfortunately, Yi Cheng told him the not so good news at the end - Prince Dongchuan went on an expedition with the army last month and was not in the city.
"Going with the army? Where did you go?" Qin Shaoyou asked with a frown.
The Yi Cheng spread his hands and said: "How can I, a Yi Cheng, know about such a major military event? But I heard someone say that they should be guarding against the barbarians in Qingtang. In the past two years, Qingtang has been hit by natural disasters and invasions.
The number of raids is increasing."
He also said that you don’t know about military aircraft...
Qin Shaoyou looked at Yi Cheng and secretly complained.
While they were chatting, Liao Yaosuo hurried into the kitchen.
He just called "Sir", but before he could speak, Yi Cheng explained anxiously: "I don't have any kidney-tonifying medicine."
Liao Yaosuo was stunned. He choked back what he said and said in astonishment: "I didn't ask you either."
Yi Cheng babbled and turned sideways to block the medicine in the sand jar.
Qin Shaoyou turned to look at Liao Yaosuo and asked, "What happened?"
Only then did Liao Yaosuo remember what he was doing and said hurriedly: "Sir, Zuo Qianhu sent someone to look for you."
Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this.
Not long after I came back from Zhouzhen Yaosi, why did Zuo Qianhu send someone to look for me?
What's the big deal?
Thinking of this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: Could it be related to the fact that my third brother-in-law never came back?
"Where is he? Did you ask for anything from me?" Qin Shaoyou asked as he strode out of the kitchen.
