Xiao Jin didn't know why Zhang Ren wanted to open an inn. He knew that many things above were beyond the control of people of his level.
He followed Zhang Ren, all he wanted was to get promoted to a higher position, but at this time, there was no business at all in Dongchang Mansion, and he, the accountant, could not sit idle in front of Zhang Ren all day long.
He directly asked: "I wonder if your Excellency has any other instructions?" Zhang Ren glanced at Xiao Jin approvingly and said, "How many of our Jinyiwei people are there in Dongchang Mansion?
"Xiao Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "It's not clear how many people are in low-level positions. Dongchang Mansion is under the supervision of Gao Mangao, General Qi, but it's not clear how many people are in low-level positions under him. The low-level people are in charge of Dongchang Mansion. For the supervision of the lottery center and other taxes, apart from the few people at the inn, there are only five or six remaining staff.
Zhang Ren nodded slightly and asked, "Does Gao Man know that this commander is in Dongchang Mansion?" Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "Without your order from the governor, I would not dare to reveal your whereabouts." to anyone.
"Very good." Zhang Ren said as he stepped forward and patted Xiao Jin on the shoulder. Jiang Yu always liked to do that in the past.
The Jin Yiwei people cannot move in the open. With the Jin Yiwei around, even if the Yan army reaches Dongchang Mansion, the officials of Dongchang Mansion will not dare to surrender. In addition, the fewer people who know about many things, the better.
Zhang Ren then asked, "How capable are the people in your hands in terms of investigation?" Except for the Jinling City guards, the guards in other states are hidden in the market, so that they can find out all kinds of information.
Therefore, Xiao Jin was quite confident in his men. He said: "They are all masters." Zhang Ren nodded again and said: "That's good. The most important thing about soldiers is their skill, not their numbers. You can Scatter all your people. This commander wants to know the entire deployment of the Yan army. In addition, the Jianghu, people's livelihood and other matters must also be inquired about in detail.
"After listening to Zhang Ren's instructions, Xiao Jin was so excited. The commander of the Jinyi Guards went to the front line in person, and all his men went out to spy on the enemy. If he defeated the Yan army in the future and was rewarded for his merits, he and his men would be rewarded. What rewards will you get for helping the brothers?
Xiao Jin didn't dare to think about it, but a reward would definitely be indispensable. When he thought of this, Xiao Jin felt his whole body became more energetic. He immediately clasped his fist solemnly towards Zhang Ren and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will definitely live up to the orders of the Lord Governor.
Zhang Ren smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead." In the next few days, there was still no business in the inn.
Xiao Jin stood at the counter, scratching at the abacus in boredom, as if only the crackling sound could make time pass faster.
It was just a sound from outside that somewhat disrupted Xiao Jin's rhythm of doing the abacus. Xiao Jin raised his eyes and saw a man walking in. If Zhang Ren was here, he would definitely be overjoyed, because the man who came was none other than the Thousand Faces Man.
It's just that Xiao Jin didn't know Thousand Faces Man, so he winked at the waiter. Even if they had a mission, the inn was just a cover, but this cover had to be decent.
The waiter understood, and immediately put a smile on his face. He stepped forward and said, "Sir, do you want to take a taxi or stay in a hotel?"
"The Thousand-faced Man took off his bamboo hat and said, "Stay in the hotel, but before that, bring all the good wine and food in your store.
"Okay! Sir, please sit down first. Good wine and food will be here soon!" The waiter wiped the table with familiarity and went to the kitchen at the back. Before he came to the Full Moon Inn, he was in Dongchang City. The clerk at the largest restaurant, where Jin Yiwei is most suitable for gathering intelligence.
In a short time, a table full of good wine and good food was placed in front of the Thousand-Faced Man. It seemed that he had been hungry for a long time. He just rolled up his sleeves and started to show off. He looked so imageless that even the well-informed Xiao Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.
During his years as a Jinyiwei, he had met all kinds of people. He could tell from the appearance of the Thousand-Faced Man that he definitely did not look like a rich person.
He waved to the waiter and whispered, "Let this person pay for his meal after he finishes eating, and then arrange a room for him.
"The waiter nodded slightly and agreed. As mentioned before, Xiao Jin didn't care about the operating conditions of the inn, but as Jin Yiwei, their salary was really not much. Zhang Ren didn't give him any money in the Full Moon Inn. Although it would cost more to follow the leader, he He bought a lot of things for the Full Moon Inn these days and spent a lot of money to buy them. He was really unable to make ends meet. If another person came to eat the King's meal, he would not be able to bear it.
I don’t know how long it took, but almost all the good wine and food on the table went into Qianmian Man’s stomach. God knows how he ate it.
He held his stomach with both hands, burped, and then said: "Xiaoer, I'm full, take me to the guest room to rest.
"The waiter nodded and bowed forward, and said, "Sir, this meal costs twenty taels of silver." The Thousand-faced Man wiped the oil from his mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "I still want to stay in the hotel, and I will give you the money when I leave. Finished together.
"The waiter has a good professionalism. Even though he thinks Qianmenrenren has no money, he still has a smile on his face. He said: "To be honest with you, sir, there is a war and chaos outside now, and the small shop can't make ends meet. Please put this meal first. After that, the shop will have money to buy ingredients for tomorrow.
” This statement is so well-founded that it seems impossible to refute it. Unexpectedly, the Thousand-faced Man actually said directly: "Why don't we just settle the account first.
"The waiter was puzzled and asked: "The account is on account? Whose account is on it?" The Thousand-faced Man shook his baggage, revealing the embroidered spring knife inside, and then said: "The account is on Zhang Ren's account.
Naturally, Xiao Jin had been paying attention to this place. When he saw the Thousand-Faced Man mentioning Zhang Ren's name, he didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Do you know our boss?"
"Even if the Thousand-Faced Man carries the Xiuchundao, Xiao Jin is still talking about his employer, not the governor, which shows that Xiao Jin also has a cautious temperament.
The Thousand-Faced Man looked up at Xiao Jin and said, "Just call Zhang Ren." Xiao Jin was a little unsure about the Thousand-Faced Man now. He cupped his hand and signaled to the waiter to keep an eye on him, and then directly Went upstairs to find Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren had nothing to do in the past few days, basically eating and sleeping, and gained a lot of weight. Now that he had nothing to do, he was sleeping soundly, but he heard someone knocking on the door.
He didn't feel bad about being disturbed from his clear dream. After all, this was a special period and there was no telling when urgent news would come.
Zhang Ren stood up and said to the door: "Come in." Xiao Jin entered the room and said to Zhang Ren: "I'm disturbing the governor's rest.
"Night Rivers and Lakes. (After reading this, remember to bookmark it for next time reading!)
