There are no West Factory spies in Wuchuan Town.
Therefore, Yang Dong just arranged the secret search task and continued to move towards Water Town.
Along the way, they did not encounter any unusual situations, and finally arrived at Water Town before dark.
Compared with Wuchuan Town, the scale of Water Town is obviously much smaller.
Because it is surrounded by water, it was named Water Town.
There is only one inn in the entire water town.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a goatee. When he saw the arrival of Yang Dong and his party, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"How many distinguished guests want to stay in the hotel?"
Yu Xiaoyu took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and slapped them on the table.
"Arrange the best room in your inn!"
"Okay!"
The shopkeeper put away the money with a smile, and immediately arranged for the only waiter in the store to lead Yang Dong and others into the guest room.
Yang Dong originally thought that the young woman might not come to practice tonight.
However, to his surprise, the young woman and Yao Jia squeezed into his room again tonight. Fortunately, nothing went wrong during tonight's practice. But Yang Dong's bed was occupied, so he had to rest on a chair.
The stars move and the night passes quietly.
As soon as the sky dawned, Yang Dong opened his eyes.
He yawned tiredly and washed his face with cold water, which made him feel better.
After breakfast, he took Yu Xiaoyu with him and left the inn.
In the water town, next to a tea stall,
Yang Dong stared at Yu Xiaoyu and said slowly:
"Now that we have arrived at Water Town, what are your thoughts on finding Mr. Xu?"
Yu Xiaoyu knew that Yang Dong was testing him, so he revealed all the plans he had thought up before.
"Master, I think we should not act in a high-profile manner in Water Town. It would be best to secretly investigate Mr. Xu's whereabouts."
Speaking of this, a look of pride appeared on his face.
"According to our laws in the Zhou Dynasty, there are no official positions in the town. Therefore, most of the management of the entire town are the local chiefs. But if we go directly to the chiefs, it may be a bit eye-catching."
"So... I think we can find the former liangzhu."
Yang Dong frowned when he heard this.
Because official positions such as village chief and village chief were not awarded by the court, but were held by local people with high morals and respect.
Therefore, the stability of this kind of position is extremely high, and it can basically be said that you will work for a lifetime.
Normally, the grass growing on my ex's grave would be three feet tall...
Seeing the confusion on Yang Dong's face, Yu Xiaoyu very carefully took out a few pieces of letter paper from his arms and said mysteriously:
"Master, in my father's army, there are soldiers whose hometown is Shuizhen. I asked people to inquire in every possible way, and then I found out that the former chief of Shuizhen did not abdicate voluntarily after old age and death, but was found out because he was greedy for money. Pulled it off from the long position."
When Yang Dong heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
He suddenly realized that he had made the right choice this time by bringing out this cheater, Yu Xiaoyu.
"So you are planning to start the investigation from the former chief?"
"exactly!"
Yu Xiaoyu said, pointing to a deep, dilapidated alley not far away, and said:
"Master doesn't know something. Over there is Goulan in this water town. And this Li Chang is a regular visitor here."
Before he finished speaking, he saw an old man in ragged clothes and unshaven beard being kicked out.
"Liu, get out of here!"
"You don't have any money and you want to come here and have sex for free? Where can such good things happen in this world!"
"Asshole!"
Old Liu blew his beard and glared angrily, picked up the long stick in his hand, and stabbed the ground hard.
"Yingzi, why are you talking to me?"
"Although I'm not a grown-up, I'm still your elder!"
"When the elders come to take care of your business, they think highly of you. Get out of my way, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, a basin of hot foot-washing water poured out, turning Old Liu's head into a drowned rat.
The door closed with a bang, and no matter how much he yelled and cursed, no one paid attention.
Old Liu Tou scolded for a while, maybe he felt his voice was tired, so he picked up his walking stick and walked outside. But he was still cursing.
"It seems it should be him!"
Yu Xiaoyu chuckled, cast a proud look at Yang Dong, and immediately approached him.
"This old man, can you have a few words?"
Seeing someone approaching, Lao Liutou was startled for a moment, then waved his hands hurriedly, his face full of irritation.
"Go, go, go!"
"Where did you come from, kid? Don't disturb me from doing business!"
After saying that, Old Liu Tou changed direction and strode away.
Are you kidding me? Today is the day when the tofu and Xishi stalls are out. If you arrive late, you won’t be able to get a front row seat!
"Hey, don't leave!"
Yu Xiaoyu looked slightly startled and followed him again, stopping in front of Old Liu Tou.
"I have a few questions to ask you. As long as you answer me honestly, the money will be yours."
As he spoke, he took out a few grains of silver from his pocket.
When Old Liu Tou saw Yin Zi, his eyes immediately flashed with greed. He looked Yu Xiaoyu up and down and found that the boy was dressed in an unusual way, so he rolled his eyes and turned away again.
"Boy, if you want to delay my business with such a small amount of money, go ahead and dream!"
"Quick, quick, get out of my way!"
Seeing that he was leaving again, Yu Xiaoyu was also a little anxious.
He originally wanted to show off himself in front of Yang Dong. But this old Liu Tou is really uncooperative!
"Wait a minute, don't you just want money?"
"I have a tael of silver here. As long as you can answer my questions, it's yours!"
When Old Liu Tou heard about one tael of silver, he was so happy from the bottom of his heart! But on the surface, he waved his hands impatiently and said:
"At least three taels of silver, otherwise there is no need to talk!"
"Three by two, three by two!"
Yu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and took out a few pieces of silver.
When Old Liu Tou saw this, he stopped moving forward. He raised his hand and stepped forward, wanting to snatch the pieces of silver, but Yu Xiaoyu couldn't let him succeed. He retracted his arm, and then said with a half-smile:
"Old Liu Tou, the money will be yours only if you answer my question."
When Old Liu Tou heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.
"You don't even give me any money, what if I answer your question and you run away?"
"Let's do this. You give me a piece of silver as a deposit, and I will answer your questions honestly."
Yu Xiaoyu just pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly in agreement.
He threw a piece of silver in front of Old Liu Tou and asked casually:
"I heard that a few years ago, a senior official from the capital returned to his hometown. Do you know about this?"
