Chapter 329 Luo Yuejin

"Let's have a meal."

Xu Lang said coldly, and then he got off the horse.

After getting off the horse, he stretched out his arm and let Li Xuan stand on his shoulder.

"Feed the best concentrated feed, add an egg to each horse."

The waiter who greeted guests saw that Xu Lang and others were very imposing, and agreed to it one after another. He quickly asked other people in the store to help tie the horses, and led Xu Lang and others into the store.

The waiter went in and found a long table for them, then wiped the table and chairs clean and asked them to sit down.

When they just sat down and had no time to take a closer look at the inn, the waiter continued to greet them:

"Dear gentlemen, we have the best beef and clear soup noodles in our store. I wonder which ones will be served later?"

When Li Xuan heard the menu reported by the waiter, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

But at a glance, the inn was bright and dignified everywhere, and it didn't look like a black shop.

Besides, it was close to noon, and there were many people who came to stay overnight. It was very lively, so they shouldn't do anything shameful.

But Li Xuan couldn't help but feel confused:

"Can we eat beef casually in Daxing?"

Generally speaking, in this farming society, cattle are production tools. Under the premise that the breeding industry is not well developed, it should not be possible to eat cattle casually.

Li Xuan estimated that the cattle sold by the waiter should be those "dead from illness or falling".

But the price of such beef should not be cheap.

He can often eat beef dishes in the palace, but Li Xuan thinks it is better to be careful outside the palace.

"I don't eat beef, I eat noodles."

Li Xuan wrote this on Xu Lang's face from the heart.

The waiter of the inn was curious to see a black cat standing on Xu Lang's shoulder. Now he saw Li Xuan sweeping his tail across Xu Lang's face. He thought Xu Lang was just pampering the cat, but he couldn't help but look at Li Xuan twice more. Compared with ordinary cats, Li Xuan was really handsome.

The glowing fur, the piercing eyes, and the lazy demeanor made it hard for people to look away.

At this time, Xu Lang turned around and placed an order:

"Ten pounds of beef, six bowls of clear soup noodles."

"Also, call your shopkeeper."

The waiter was not surprised by the request to invite the shopkeeper, but instead muttered:

"Six bowls of clear soup noodles?"

Xu Lang immediately said "hmm" in displeasure, and the waiter did not dare to ask again, and said he would go down to arrange it.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of the inn also came over.

"Dear guests, what do you want?"

What was a little surprising was that the shopkeeper of the inn turned out to be a charming woman. She looked about 30 years old. Although her appearance was not so outstanding, her eyebrows were full of charm and had a mature charm.

Her face, because of this pair of peach blossom eyes, added a lot of charm.

Moreover, the shopkeeper's tone of voice was soft and sticky, which made people's ears itch slightly.

But it can be heard that the shopkeeper did not do it on purpose, and that his voice was born with this kind of voice.

Unfortunately, the person who was most interested in her was Li Xuan, the cat.

The shopkeeper met Xu Lang's cold eyes and was frightened.

She thought she was still somewhat friendly. Most of the guests who came in and out of the inn, whether male or female, could talk to her well. Instead, she was troubled by those guests who liked her too much.

And when they first met, it was the first time that the shopkeeper met someone who looked at her like Xu Lang.

But then, the shopkeeper's face changed.

Xu Lang took out a token of the Six Doors from his arms, shook it in front of the shopkeeper, and then took it back.

The shopkeeper immediately became honest and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He immediately introduced himself:

"My dear officials, I am Luo Yuejin, the shopkeeper of the Shizipo Inn."

"What do you want to tell me?"

It can be heard that Luo Yuejin's tone is more nervous.

"Don't be nervous, shopkeeper Luo. You know about the robbery of Ping An Commercial Bank a few days ago, right?"

Xu Lang took back the token and asked straight to the point.

Li Xuan stood on Xu Lang's shoulder and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Xu Lang to have such an identity token.

That's right. When they, the flowery eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are spies outside, they always have to have some public identities.

The sign of the palace is too intimidating, and it is far less useful than the sign of the six gates.

It was also the first time that Li Xuan knew that the Ministry of Justice in Daxing also had six gates.

But he estimated that the Six Gates could not escape the reputation of being the court's lackeys, which was very consistent with the positioning of Xu Lang and others.

When Luo Yuejin heard that Xu Lang and others came for this case, he was relieved and continued to speak in a familiar manner:

"Oh, so the officials are here for this matter."

"In the past few days, the county constables have come several times."

"Who would have thought that in this area, there are still people who dare to rob the goods of Ping An Commercial Bank."

As Luo Yuejin spoke, she moved her buttocks and sat down on the empty seat next to Xu Lang, and then continued to talk nonstop.

Xu Lang frowned in displeasure, but did not get angry because Luo Yuejin was providing them with clues. He just moved aside quietly. Luo Yuejin, who was talking excitedly, did not notice this.

"You officials don't know."

"That day, there was a lot of killing. The cross slope in front of our door was dyed red."

"The robbers were ruthless. Not only did they kill all the people from Ping An Commercial Bank, they also killed several passers-by."

"If we hadn't closed the door early and kept it shut, I'm afraid we would have suffered as well."

Luo Yuejin had a scared expression on her face. She described the scene vividly and danced from time to time.

It seems that the robbery a few days ago was indeed a big deal for her.

Listening to Luo Yuejin's description, Li Xuan and others also had a clearer understanding of the situation that day.

Logically speaking, the security force of Ping An Commercial Bank is not weak.

But according to Luo Yuejin's description, it was a one-sided situation that day, and the battle was resolved very quickly.

Except for the killing, there was not much noise during the fight.

Such a crushing battle shows that the robbers have a considerable advantage in strength.

"Where did the robbers go after robbing the goods?" Xu Lang asked.

"They left along the west intersection, but according to the officials who came to investigate in the past few days, the traces of driving disappeared ten miles away, and they should have turned into the deep mountains and old forests."

Seeing that Xu Lang had shown the sign of the Six Gates before, Luo Yuejin told him everything.

And Luo Yuejin knew these things, so he probably had a good relationship with the local officials.

Xu Lang asked a few more questions, and Luo Yuejin answered all of them. In the end, Xu Lang understood everything, and then he sent Luo Yuejin away, who still hadn't said enough.

"She is really a chatterbox who loves to chat."

Li Xuan shook his head and couldn't help laughing at Luo Yuejin's back.

"This shopkeeper Luo is quite cute."

But I don't know why she, a woman, wants to do this kind of inn business.

It is not uncommon for women to do business in Daxing, but there are fewer people doing this kind of inn business. Most of them are couples who open a shop together, and it is rare for women to be the shopkeepers themselves.

Because the business of the inn is quite special, it has to deal with all kinds of people from all over the world.

Therefore, if you don't have some solid skills, you will be taken advantage of every day.

Li Xuan only had time to take a closer look at the inn at this time.

Inside the inn, the decoration style is very simple, and there is a sense of pragmatism everywhere.

It is not very good-looking, and there is no good decoration in the store.

Simple and plain is the style here.

But such an inn has very good business.

At this time, the lobby on the first floor was full of diners. Not many people ate beef, and most of them just had clear soup noodles.

After eating noodles, resting for a while and drinking two cups of tea is much more comfortable than the tea stalls outside. At least the inn is surrounded by walls, not only is the wind not blowing, but you don’t have to taste the loess added by passers-by.

At this time, Xu Lang asked Li Xuan after asking questions:

"Sir, what do you think next?"

Li Xuan also admired Xu Lang's respectful attitude towards him.

There should be few people who can be so good at dealing with a cat like him.

Moreover, after asking questions, Xu Lang took the initiative to stretch out his palm to Li Xuan.

It seems that he wants Li Xuan to write on his palm.

Just now, Li Xuan wrote on his face. Although Xu Lang didn't say anything, he still had to save face.

After all, there were four brothers looking at him as the leader.

Li Xuan was not polite and wrote directly on Xu Lang's palm:

"You take care of the investigation. I am only responsible for assisting."

"If you can find some relevant evidence, I can help you track it."

Although tracking is a dog's skill, Li Xuan has a much stronger sense than ordinary cats because of his cultivation.

Even the royal hounds that have been specially trained may not be better than Li Xuan.

And professional matters should be left to professionals.

This is the first time that Li Xuan has gone out of the city to investigate a case. The most important thing is to participate. It is better to leave the main work to Xu Lang and others.

He estimated that Shang Zongguan asked him to participate in this matter more just to let him gain experience.

After all, although Li Xuan claimed to be the inner spy Ling Ling Miao, he had not received any professional training.

Following Xu Lang and the others out for some experience, I could learn a lot about spy skills.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't give any random advice, Xu Lang was relieved.

To be honest, when he asked just now, he was really afraid that Li Xuan wanted to take over the command.

Although Xu Lang was nominally the leader, Li Xuan's position was somewhat special.

Especially Zhao Feng's previous order, asking them to put Li Xuan's safety first.

Xu Lang was prepared. If Li Xuan wanted to take over the command, he would do a good job of persuading him and do a good job of this mission on the premise of having a good relationship with Li Xuan.

Xu Lang was a smart man and could tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.

If the mission was not done well, at most he would send Li Xuan back and investigate again.

Even if he messed up the mission in the end, Xu Lang would admit it.

But he valued the relationship with Li Xuan more.

He knew his own business.

Although Xu Lang was a new expert in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his training was mainly in martial arts before, and there was no special arrangement for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In other words, Xu Lang was a combat talent before, not a management talent.

The last time he went out of the palace to protect Princess Ankang, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not sent out too many people at once, Xu Lang would not have been able to get the position of leader with his excellent skills.

But this time, Xu Lang was arranged to lead the team out of the palace to investigate the case.

This had never happened before.

Xu Lang knew very well that he had only completed the task of protecting Princess Ankang last time in an ordinary way, without any outstanding performance.

After all, it was just a guarding task, and there were not many opportunities to show off.

He crushed the opponent several times.

Xu Lang felt that his best performance was probably his respectful attitude.

Therefore, when Xu Lang was appointed as the leader of the investigation out of the palace at the beginning, he was still a little confused.

But when he saw Li Xuan also accompanying him, he knew that he had benefited from this person.

If there had not been the last intersection, Xu Lang estimated that he would not have had the opportunity today.

These flowery eunuchs who work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs know better than anyone that no matter how high their martial arts are, they are not as good as holding power.

Zhao Feng, the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is an example.

And in the palace, such examples abound.

The masters who are rare in the outside world are the most common cabbages in the palace.

After all, the palace has the best training conditions.

Of course, if your strength transcends the ordinary realm, you can naturally get rid of the identity of cabbage.

But that difficulty is more difficult than becoming the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xu Lang has made up his mind at the moment and holds on to Li Xuan's thigh.

Whether he can rise to prominence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future depends entirely on Li Xuan.

Therefore, how can he not care about Li Xuan.

More importantly, this cat is more humane than a human, and is much better than the stupid superiors in the palace.

Although the flowery eunuchs mainly work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they also know a lot about the palace.

After all, they all started as eunuchs.

Most of the eunuchs who have gained some power in the palace are only good at flattery, and they don't know how to do practical work.

But these filthy things always like to show off their presence, and it's so suffocating when they command their subordinates.

When the job is messed up because of the suffocating operation, the little eunuchs working under them have to take the blame, how angry they are.

Although these eunuchs in flowery clothes sitting here are now successful, who hasn't experienced such a shitty thing before.

Even if you haven't seen it, you have always heard of it.

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of interfering, Xu Lang let him do it, and at the same time he was relieved, he also put in full effort.

Without any worries, he naturally wanted to do this job well and show his face in front of Li Xuan and Zhao Feng.

The iron must be strong, and if you want to climb up, you must show your ability.

He Xu Lang believed that he didn't have the skill of flattery, and his attitude of respect was already his limit.

Therefore, Xu Lang must show some achievements this time.

The other four flowery eunuchs looked at Xu Lang silently, waiting for his orders.

"Let's eat first, listen to the rumors in the inn, and then look for the last traces left by the robbers."

Xu Lang's thinking was in accordance with the rules. Although there was nothing special, there was nothing wrong.

The other four flowery eunuchs nodded.

They were just following orders and would not casually put forward their own opinions.

While waiting for the dishes, they listened to the guests in the inn talking.

After listening for a while, they found that the center of these people's discussion was actually themselves.

But it's not their fault that they are high-profile. It's really that Xu Lang and his friends have special temperaments, and they also brought a black cat. They just whispered with Luo Yuejin in the inn for a while, which naturally attracted attention.

In addition, some people talked about them and led the topic to the robbery of Ping An Commercial Bank that happened a few days ago.

But after talking about it, it was all the things Luo Yuejin had said before, and there was nothing new.

At this time, the dishes they ordered were brought up by the waiter.

There were only two dishes in total, beef and clear noodle soup.

The beef was braised, and it was steaming hot as soon as it was served, with a salty and fragrant smell.

The clear soup noodles were watery, with only a few vegetable leaves on top.

After all, it was an inn in the wilderness, and the menu was not that rich, with only these two items.

However, looking at the braised beef in front of him, Li Xuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously.

It was hard for Li Xuan not to think about the inn in the wilderness selling beef.

"Sir, please eat noodles."

Xu Lang brought Li Xuan's noodles to him, and Li Xuan also jumped off Xu Lang's shoulder and stood on the table.

After Xu Lang and his friends had divided the noodles and were about to feast on the braised beef, Li Xuan couldn't help but stop Xu Lang and asked him:

"Is this beef really okay?"

Xu Lang was startled and immediately winked at several companions.

The others immediately stopped their chopsticks and dared not act rashly.

Thanks to "Angel Loves to Smile" for his reward and support.

Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.

Thank you to the book friend "Luo Yuejin" for providing the vest.
