It was already dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the city. As expected, Bohai City was a big city, with thousands of lights on it, giving it a somewhat worldly atmosphere.
Wanghai Inn is not on the main street, so there are not many guests staying in the hotel, and the business is also a bit sluggish. In addition, it is already dark, so travelers who are on their way at this time have already stayed. Those who do not have to stay are probably looking for a place to stay.
In a leeward place, one night is enough.
At this time, Guo Jiu was leaning on his head with one hand, standing behind the counter and feeling sleepy. The entire Wanghai Inn was very quiet.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Guo Jiu raised his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked through the light, only to find that it was the clerk who followed the deputy governor of the Shadow Division during the day. He seemed to be named Man.
.
But I saw this Manchu scholar strolling out from behind with a leisurely expression. He only took a folding fan and nothing else. The weather in August was sultry. Although this was Bohai Prefecture, it was directly north of Jin Dynasty.
, but summer and winter are distinct. Summer is extremely hot and winter is extremely cold.
The Manchu scholar was probably feeling uncomfortable due to the scorching heat, so he kept waving his folding fan as he walked forward.
When Guo Jiu saw him, he also saw Guo Jiu. He waved his hands to greet him from afar and said, "Shopkeeper Guo, why are you still here staring at me so late... I want to say you
Just go back and rest, and just find two guys to keep an eye on..."
As he spoke, he whispered in his ear: "We are all working for the superiors, why should we be so serious? They can enjoy the hot food, drink hot food, sleep when they should sleep, cuddle up with the girls when they should,
Why do we have to stand around and work so hard?"
Guo Jiu also smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother, you are not from Bohai... Chief Yang's place... is very strict. I would like to go back and rest, but look at this
None of the people below make me worry... and I am the only one who keeps an eye on it myself..."
Xiao Cangshu pretended not to be close, and said with a smile: "What can happen? More than ten years have passed at Wanghai Inn, and now the deputy governor is here, so nothing can happen...
..."
Then Guo Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "That's not what you said...I don't think anything will happen...Oh, there is no way, who let us eat this bowl of rice."
....."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Cangshu casually a few times and asked, "Why didn't Man Wenwen rest in the room, but came out? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Cangshu was prepared, smiled, pulled Guo Jiu aside, and whispered: "It's not the deputy governor's business... You see, he looks like a young man, and he is still so young...
....But he became a deputy governor. Do you think he has real ability... He just gained the power of the Prime Minister's Third Young Master... In fact, he is a dandy... This
No, I have been traveling hard these past few days, but now I feel comfortable. I want to eat seafood. Why, Bohai City is backed by the sea, and the seafood here is different from other places... Doesn’t that make me go out and buy it for him..."
Guo Jiu smiled and said: "Speaking of seafood, this Bohai City is indeed very authentic. Various methods are used, each with its own characteristics... I really like this bite, but I am here..."
Xiao Cangshu snorted when he heard this, then lowered his voice and said to Guo Jiu: "Shopkeeper Guo... do you really think he just asked me to go out and buy seafood for him?"
Hearing this, Guo Jiu turned his eyes slightly and said, "If this is not the case, what else could be happening..."
Xiao Cangshu smiled mysteriously and said, "He actually let me..."
Xiao Canshu deliberately swallowed half of what he said, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it...don't mention this nonsense...anyway, I'll go out and have a good time myself first.
....."
With that said, Xiao Cangshu waved his folding fan and walked out.
A strange look flashed in Guo Jiu's eyes, and he suddenly grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "Man's document, Man's document, please stay, stay..."
Hearing this, Xiao Cangshu stopped and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "Shopkeeper Guo, is there anything else you can do?"
Guo Jiu said with a smile on his face: "The Manchu scholar is from Beijing.
, he is also a popular person next to the deputy governor. I think he came to the Bohai Sea for gilding. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely be promoted... I guess his vision and knowledge are not a little bit better than mine, and even more so for our deputy governor.
The Governor’s confidant..."
Xiao Cangshu had a thoughtful look on his face, smiled and stared at Guo Jiu and said, "Shopkeeper Guo... Just say whatever you want... There is no need for this between us..."
Guo Jiu then nodded and said: "Yes, yes... what kind of person is Manchu Wen... I am a little abrupt... but we are really curious, Deputy Governor
What errands are you asked to go out to do... It’s not that I’m inquisitive, I just feel that our Wanghai Inn is small and a Buddha as big as others is here. If we don’t serve you well there and offend the superior, what will happen next?
Isn’t it...hehe, hehe..."
Xiao Cangshu smiled knowingly, looked around a few times, and then lowered his voice and said, "Shopkeeper Guo really wants to know?"
"Isn't it true..." Guo Jiu nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Cangshu thought about it for a while and then said: "Okay, since we are all servants, I will only tell you this matter... Do you understand what I mean?
"
Guo Jiu nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, Manchu Wenshu, even if Guo Jiu is too lazy to keep this matter in mind, Guo Jiu will not tell anyone about it..."
Xiao Cangshu then lowered his voice and said: "You think, what else can a dandy like this do besides drinking and eating well? He has been suffocated these past few days, so I need to find a young lady by the way.
Come back and sleep with him... Do you think I dare to speak out about this?"
Hearing this, Guo Jiu was startled for a moment, and then he chuckled and said, "Oh, yeah, it's my fault... I wasn't as thoughtful as I thought. I have to go back to work again after working hard with paperwork. How about this?"
, I’m tired from writing all the paperwork, so why not go back first and wait until I find a few guys and a beautiful young lady to send to you personally. You can take a look first..."
Hearing this, Xiao Cangshu couldn't help but smacked his lips twice and said, "I'd like to, but you don't know, our governor is really nice. He wants to have fun, but he doesn't want others to know...
.If you handle this matter for me, it won’t be long before he will find an excuse to drive us both out of the Shadow Division... Do you believe it?"
Hearing this, Guo Jiu hurriedly said: "This... If this is the case, then I can only trouble Manshu to go there in person... I really feel sorry..."
Xiao Cang smiled happily and said: "It's easy to talk, I accept Shopkeeper Guo's heart... When I go back, I will definitely put in a few nice words for you in front of the two superintendents and transfer you earlier."
Returning to Beijing is not a hundred times better than being in Northern Xinjiang!"
Hearing this, Guo Jiu said with a grateful look on his face: "If that's true, Brother Man... no, Brother Man is my eldest brother!"
Xiao Cangshu blinked at him and whispered: "You keep an eye on me here...I'll go have some wine first, and then I'll do something for him. If there's anything going on with him, wait until I come back.
You were telling me in advance!"
Hearing this, Guo Jiu nodded quickly and said, "Brother Man, don't worry, just go, I'm here!"
Xiao Cangshu nodded with satisfaction, still waving the folding fan, and walked out of Wanghai Inn unhurriedly.
Xiao Cangshu stopped at some vendors next to Wanghai Inn. He seemed to be playing with the items sold by the vendors in his hands, but he secretly looked around with the corner of his eye.
He looked around for a long time before confirming that no one was following him, and then walked quickly towards the deep alley to the left of Wanghai Inn.
After a while, Xiao Cangshu came to a deep alley and stopped. He looked around again and saw that the light in the deep alley was dim. Except for the faint sounds of pedestrians and vendors at the entrance of the alley, he continued
There was no sound either.
Xiao Cangshu calmed down, and then he turned toward the shadow of the alley and lowered his voice and called: "Brother Su...Brother Su..."
Just as he shouted, he saw a white shadow flash before his eyes, and a young man in white appeared in front of him...
Xiao Cangshu looked around, who was it if it wasn't Su Ling?
Xiao Cangshu
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Brother Su, I thought it was difficult for you to come out..."
Su Ling smiled and said: "The courtyard wall of Wanghai Inn is not high, but it is a bit difficult to trap me... I had already observed it when I left, and no one was following me. I think they haven't reacted yet."
Well...I haven't put out the candle in the room yet. I guess they won't be able to notice us leaving within an hour or two..."
Xiao Cangshu then gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Su... you are so awesome! This is how you are unaware of the ghost! What should we do next..."
Su Ling lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "This is still within the scope of Wanghai Inn. I can't say more. Let's leave here first and go to the bustling street. There are huge crowds of people there. Let them look for it... Wait until they arrive.
A safe place, I will tell you what exactly we are going to do in Bohai City!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cangshu immediately became energetic, nodded vigorously and said: "Brother Su has thought carefully, let's leave now!"
Su Ling nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
The two of them walked side by side through the deep alley and headed towards the crowded street.
However, neither Su Ling nor Xiao Cangshu thought that not long after they left, a person suddenly fell in the dark corner of the deep alley.
This man was dressed in black, falling silently into the shadows, as if he was blending into the darkness.
What was even more obvious was that this man was wearing a bamboo hat on his head. The bamboo hat was held down so low that the outline of his face could not be seen at all.
He was carrying a long bundle behind him, which looked particularly awkward.
The man stood there motionless for a long time, and the surroundings were strangely quiet.
Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and I looked for any trace of the man in black cloak, but there was no trace at all.
