Master, please don’t bring Feng Aotian back again!

I felt a chill rising.

The little white-haired girl's hair stood on end and she turned her head stiffly.

Luo Yeqing glanced at him with a fake smile.

The inquiring look speaks for itself.

Liuli paused for a long while, then covered her voice and said softly:

"There must have been some misunderstanding or something... I don't know exactly what happened."

Like grabbing the flagpole when the flag is raised.

I don’t know how to describe the little white-haired girl.

So Liuli simply gave a speculative answer.

Luo Yeqing pouted.

"Two little guys, what misunderstanding could there be?"

"I'm stuffed."

Qi Yueying was the first to put down the empty bowl, wiped her mouth, turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Lin Li followed closely behind, he put his bowl and chopsticks aside and nodded slightly to his master:

"I'm almost done, Master. You guys take your time eating. When you're full, put the bowl down and I'll come back to wash it later."

After all, he was the innkeeper in name only. In order to fit in with this identity, Lin Li always had to sit in the inn for a while and take care of some inn matters.

"Oh."

In response to this, Luo Yeqing and Liuli simply responded.

……

This is a small town that has never entered the Jiangnan region but is located on the only way to get there.

There are not many permanent residents in the town.

Most of them are travelers who just pass by and stop for a short while.

As Lin Li runs an inn business, he often comes to the market to purchase goods.

So the boy basically recognized all the locals in the market.

Except for the big sister who sells chicks.

There are also uncles selling farm vegetables, brothers selling pork, and sisters-in-law selling some river fish.

I basically remember Lin Li's appearance and personality.

Of course, there is also his signature generosity.

Every businessman likes such a rich man.

So as soon as the boy came over, many bosses came up to him and were very enthusiastic.

"Hey, Lion, don't tell me, the fish are really fat today."

My sister-in-law came up to me with a smile, pinching the gills of a fish.

"Would you like some? This time you don't have to tell me. I'll give you the wholesale price directly."

This was what Lin Li said when he bought the fish, and his sister-in-law remembered it clearly.

"Okay, I'll come and see when the time comes."

Lin Li responded with a smile.

This time, Lin Li came not only to buy things, but also to gather some information.

When it comes to gossip, no one is better than the bosses here.

Building a good relationship with them basically means having a large number of free spies.

This is absolutely beneficial to Lin Li's plan.

Even if it is not for reconnaissance, when we enter Jiangnan in the future, I believe it will be of some use because of its special location.

"Hey, Brother Ming, why don't you spoil the vegetables when you have them?"

Seeing the man who had just taken out the vegetables and started to arrange them, Lin Li asked loudly.

The latter was stunned for a while, then looked at the boy and said loudly:

"It's not the cabbage season, it's rotten!"

Hearing this, Lin Li's pupils suddenly shrank.

But he quickly adjusted himself and said slowly:

"Then I'll destroy it for you."

Several bosses were still confused.

The rich man was seen being carried away by the vegetable seller.

They were left staring at each other.

"Do you understand?"

Everyone shook their heads wildly.

Who would be so determined to buy bad cabbage? And it's not the season.

Weird.

"Could it be that our boss likes to buy bad things?"

The sound of discussion carried Lin Li all the way to the dish in the corner.

Lin Li looked at Brother Ming who was hunched over.

This is the spy he left here.

And the latter really saw something extraordinary nearby.

He handed a large cabbage to Lin Li.

There was also a piece of letter paper strangely tucked inside.

Lin Li pulled it out and said with a faint smile:

"Your words are clear, but your method is a little too flawed."

"Boss Li, I'm just a country boy, and it's good enough that I can draw a few small paintings."

Brother Ming answered while packing up the food.

Lin Li took out the paper and looked at it for a while.

All you can tell is that it is a painting, on which is printed a man in black walking with big strides.

The most eye-catching thing is the token on his waist, which is also the only place emphasized by the man.

As for the other simple drawings, well, only their height is of some reference value.

The painting is really not very good.

But Mingge's explanation came at the right time.

"To be honest, I've met everyone in this town."

"The only thing is that I don't even have the slightest impression of this person."

"Isn't this normal? There are so many people coming and going in this place, you never know..."

Brother Ming interrupted Lin Li's speech and added:

"Boss Li, you don't understand. Although this place is the only way to Jiangnan, it is only for business travelers. In other words, those who pass through our town are basically all on their way to Jiangnan for business."

"So there are a lot of checkpoints along the way, and there are also various searches."

"If you were entering Jiangnan alone, you would definitely not go all the way here. Entering Jiangnan from the official road is not only troublesome, but there is also a high probability that the government will suspect you of having other intentions."

"If you go to Jiangnan alone, you will usually choose to take the road to the east, which is recognized as a single-person road."

"so."

Lin Li looked at Brother Ming, a local, and when he looked at the scroll again, his eyes became more vigilant.

"Do you think there's something wrong with this guy?"

"Actually, it would be fine if he brought money. I think he would be like you, coming to the Buyer's Inn to do business."

Recalling when Lin Li first arrived.

Although we were on the official road.

But he did carry a bag of silver.

"But this guy didn't bring any money."

And for money.

Most of the bosses in the market have sharp eyes.

"So there must be something wrong with him."

Ok.

It's a rather peculiar point of view.

"Okay, thank you."

As he spoke, Lin Li slid a tael of silver from below to Brother Ming's feet.

This is the value of intelligence.

Look at the amount.

Brother Ming's face immediately lit up, thinking that he could make such a large sum of money just by helping to keep an eye out for suspicious people without having to sell vegetables. He really hoped that there would be more people like him in the future.

"Leave the rest to me. For now, just stay and sell vegetables and listen to my instructions."

I didn't know if the man with stars in his eyes heard what I said.

Regardless of this.

Lin Li simply put the yellow paper with abstract painting style into his pocket.

His expression gradually became solemn.

My hunch was correct after all.

17. All clues lead to one place

Lin Li could not be found.

But I found these four sensational words: Long time no see.

Tang Yuyan was in a bad condition at that time.

Even when sitting in my seat I would feel dazed from time to time.

"Yuyan, Yuyan...Tang Yuyan!"

It was not until Wanli, who was sitting in the main seat, called out his name three times in a row that the chief recruiter came to his senses.

"Ah, yes, I have no objection, what the young lady said is right."

"I haven't said anything yet."

Wanli took a breath. Considering Tang Yuyan’s current condition, she didn’t know what to say.

Lin Li's sudden departure was a blow to her, and even more so to Tang Yuyan.

These days, the incorporation work has not been completed much.

Instead, Tang Yuyan plunged headfirst into searching for Lin Li's whereabouts.

Even though there has been no follow-up.

"You go out and take a rest first. I'll take care of this."
