What would Zhu Bai do if he were here...
Li Jinglong thought hard.
Zhu Bai's method of catching all the Japanese traitors in Yangzhou flashed through his mind.
Li Wenzhong told him this matter as an example of the art of war.
By the way, I can also pretend to be a businessman and ask around. Don’t you know why other businessmen don’t come to Guanya Bureau to trade?
He made up his mind and said: "That's it for today. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."
Now that he has Zhu Bai's sign, he can freely enter the Guanya Bureau Inn. It's so exciting.
As soon as he entered, he asked the shopkeeper: "Which is the best room?"
The shopkeeper bowed: "Room 308."
Li Jinglong said: "Okay, I will give you room 308. I will give you the two rooms next door to these two adults."
Shopkeeper: "Okay. Then give it to the other two adults, 309 and 310."
Then he gave the key to Li Jinglong and asked the waiter to take them up.
Xu Huizu pointed to the key tag on the wall: "Why do the others all start with 1, 2, 3. There are only two that are different, one is 001, and the other is 888."
The shopkeeper smiled: "The rooms in the shop are all according to Zhu Bai's requirements. The hundredth digit is the floor, and the last two digits are the room number."
Li Jinglong also noticed it and asked: "What are rooms 888 and 001, and where are the keys?"
The shopkeeper couldn't hide it, so he could only say: "That is the room of His Royal Highness King Xiang in 888, and the room in 001 is the room of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It does not participate in the ordinary numbering, because no one else can live in it."
Li Jinglong was instantly annoyed: It's understandable that the prince is in a room alone. After all, he is the future emperor.
Why can't he stay in Zhu Bai's room?
Li Jinglong slapped the key in his hand back on the counter and said, "I don't want to live in room 308 anymore. I want to live in room 888."
The shopkeeper said: "My lord, make atonement. It's not that we won't let you stay. The key is not here. King Xiang holds it himself. This is the case in all Guanyaju inns."
Li Jinglong choked and blushed.
He wanted to say pick the lock, as if that was a bit too arrogant.
After all, Zhu Biao told him to keep a low profile when he came out.
He gritted his teeth to suppress his anger, took the key to 308 again, and went up.
Zeng Bingzheng asked the shopkeeper: "How much money per night?"
The shopkeeper said: "One tael of silver. If you are from the Guanya Bureau, you have your own account book to keep accounts. Several adults don't have account books, so they have to pay for it themselves."
In fact, only Li Jinglong has the brand, and no one else is qualified to come in.
The shopkeeper just saw that there was no one to support him now that Zhu Bai was away, and he didn't want to offend anyone, so he pretended to be confused.
Zeng Bingzheng was shocked when he heard it: "It's so expensive, I can't stay here. Is there any other inn?"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Yes, the cheapest Datong shop in the Guanya Bureau Inn next door costs ten cents a night."
Zeng Bingzheng passed over immediately.
Then the pro-military captain was in trouble.
We must protect Zeng Bingzheng and Li Jinglong.
The key is that they don't want to spend money themselves.
Xu Huizu said: "It's very safe here. You can go live next door."
The pro-military captain hurriedly handed over his hands and went to the next door.
After Li Jinglong went up, he didn't hurry to go to his room, but walked around the third floor. Sure enough, he saw a room with "888" hanging on it in a secluded corner facing south.
Standing at the door, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Zhu Bai, I will definitely kick you out of the official office and occupy all your rooms."
Xu Huizu saw his every move and sneered secretly: The mind is as small as the eye of a needle and cannot bear the big responsibility.
Li Jinglong changed his clothes and dressed up like a young businessman. Then he took only one pro-military captain and went straight to the largest teahouse without telling Xu Huizu and Zeng Bingzheng.
The teahouse was very lively.
After all, it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Jinglong found a remote place to sit down and ordered a few plates of refreshments and a pot of fragrant tea.
Before he finished the cup of tea, he saw Xu Huizu, dressed as a businessman, coming in with a pro-military captain.
The moment they looked at each other, the two of them were stunned together, and then they tacitly forced themselves to calm down and turned around, pretending not to recognize each other.
The two pro-military captains exchanged thoughtful glances.
Xu Huizu sat down in the opposite corner, farthest from Li Jinglong, ordered some fragrant tea, and began to listen to the chats of the businessmen next to him.
"Sure enough, Zhu Bai still works. Today's Guanya Bureau's business is much slower."
"Haha, every government office has opened its own dental shop, and the price is lower than the official dental bureau, so why do you still need to go to the official dental bureau to do business?"
"The Guan Ya Bureau is now leaderless. If King Xiang doesn't come back, it may be shut down!!"
"It's a pity that King Xiang is still very good. We merchants are all thanks to his Guanya Inn for transporting goods. Otherwise, it would not be so safe."
"Isn't that right? I hope His Highness can come back safely as soon as possible."
Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu became more and more angry as they listened.
How dare the government office be so bold as to set up a dental clinic privately?
It's so lawless.
No wonder the business of Guanya Bureau is getting worse and worse. It turns out that they have been poached.
Li Jinglong looked outside. It was still early in the day, so he could still catch something while going to the dental shop.
He asked the person next to him: "Sir, please tell me where the dental shop is. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with it. I also want to save some money on dental products."
The merchant glanced at him: "Are you going to buy something or sell something?"
Li Jinglong subconsciously said: "Sell tea."
The merchant said: "What kind of tea?"
Li Jinglong: "Bud tea."
Merchant: "What price do you want to sell it for?"
Li Jinglong tried hard to recall that when he was learning tea tasting at the Guanya Bureau, he saw the price on the wall and said: "Eighty cents per catty."
The merchant nodded: "The price is basically reasonable. The Yaxing Store is in a courtyard in Xicheng, and there is a big sycamore tree at the door. You can see it as soon as you go there, you can't go wrong."
Li Jinglong hurriedly threw a piece of broken silver on the table, stood up, and asked the captain of his own army to call the others over, and called the guards from the Guanya Bureau.
He went all the way to the West City by himself.
Xu Huizu also followed him from a distance.
It's not that he wanted to help, he was just afraid that this idiot would ruin his chance of making a contribution.
As expected, Li Jinglong successfully found the courtyard with the big locust tree at the door.
There seemed to be noise coming from inside, and it sounded like they were bargaining.
Li Jinglong didn't go in and waited silently outside.
Xu Huizu thought to himself: It seems that this idiot is not that stupid, and he knows how to wait for everyone to arrive before taking action.
The pro-military captain over there came shouting and shouting on his horse.
Li Jinglong waved his hand towards the door.
Immediately, someone came over and kicked him aggressively.
"Bang" the door opened in response.
Guards swarmed in.
There was no one inside, only an old man sweeping the floor.
There is no sign on the wall showing the price of goods.
Li Jinglong's eyes widened in shock: "What's going on?!!"
