At ninety o'clock in the morning, the weather has become hot.
The bright sunshine hits the inside of the inn from the windows and doorways, and everything looks warm.
"Hey, do you know? Last night..."
"I was asleep the whole time and didn't notice..."
When I was going downstairs, I heard the people next to me discussing in low voices what they heard last night.
But it may be because there was no obvious bloodshed, and it was broad daylight. Instead of showing any trace of fear on his face, he was actually interested and eager to share with the people next to him.
As the news was spread into various versions, the most widely circulated one was that a man came with a few vicious men to catch the rapist...
Li Zhengyi didn't pay attention to these, but after paying the room fee, he took Zhang Daniu out.
"Oh, please don't. If our shopkeeper knows that I have accepted your money, he will beat me to death..."
Although I don’t know how much the room fee, including the meal cost last night, is.
But Li Zhengyi could also make a rough estimate in his mind. When he left, he threw a total of two ocean dollars on the counter, thinking that these should be more than enough.
The shopkeeper was not on the counter now. Li Zhengyi didn't care. He just threw the money to the waiter and walked out.
Although the waiter in the shop was very anxious and wanted to hand Li Zhengyi's money back, he had business to take care of since the two of them left relatively quickly.
So I could only watch helplessly as two good men in uniforms walked out of the door.
At this time, it is the most crowded time of the day.
What's more, the inn where Li Zhengyi and the others said they were staying was located at the busiest three-way intersection in Yangshan Town.
Maybe today is a day when people from surrounding villages come to Yangshan Town to go to the market. There are obviously many more people on the streets than yesterday.
Especially on South Street, both sides of the street were almost full of people. Some people are carrying burdens, some are pushing carts, and some are even holding a large frame in their hands, selling their own agricultural and sideline products on the roadside.
Some people also took this opportunity to take their children out to play and gain knowledge.
But because abortion is so complicated, the children always run around, worried about any accidents, chasing and shouting behind them.
However, most children obediently hold adults' fingers or clothes corners, and look at everything and people around them with their eyes shining brightly.
Although such a scene seems a bit rare for Li Zhengyi.
But since I had seen similar situations twice in Renjia Town, I didn't think it was too novel.
After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze, winked at the three people across the street, and then walked towards the security team of Yangshan Town on West Street.
"Boss, are you going to... go out?"
After taking a few steps, he was stopped by two people coming towards him.
One of them is the manager of Yangshan Inn, and the other one looks familiar.
The face is relatively slender, with a little red mark between the eyebrows, and bright eyes.
Dressed like a Taoist, he held a mahogany sword in his hand.
"This is Zhenren Xu. I went to invite him early in the morning."
The shopkeeper did not point out directly in front of the two of them that it was Li Zhengyi who introduced him to Xu Zhenren.
Of course, this matter can be brought up, but a more cautious and prudent approach must be discussed with Li Zhengyi's consent.
After all, although Li Zhengyi introduced it, he didn't necessarily want Master Xu to know.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
Sure enough, Li Zhengyi's next reaction confirmed the shopkeeper's thoughts. He thought to himself that it was lucky that he didn't talk too much, otherwise he might offend others.
"Hello, sir..."
Perhaps because we are in an era of alternation between old and new, and Taoist priests are a very traditional profession, Xu Zhenren's name for Li Zhengyi is also relatively conservative.
It can be seen that his attitude towards Li Zhengyi is quite good.
No matter what era it is, even some experts outside the country will be a little inferior when facing people in the government.
Unless the other party is convinced or wants something from him, the status and attitude between the two parties will immediately change.
But for now, Li Zhengyi definitely has nothing to ask of Xu Zhenren.
Even if he had a need in this area, the first thing he would think of would be to go to Uncle Jiu to solve the problem, and even going to Yu Meier would be a good choice.
As the saying goes, if you have no desires, you will be strong.
Because he didn't ask for anything, Li Zhengyi wasn't too polite, plus he was really busy now.
So after just saying hello, he took Zhang Daniu and left.
After they walked away, Xu Zhenren's eyes followed the direction of Li Zhengyi's back for a while, and then he looked back.
There was a curious and thoughtful look in his eyes, but he just paused and turned his attention back to the shopkeeper next to him.
After all, due to the existence of his senior brother and his personality, Master Xu has always lived a relatively peaceful life.
Now it's not easy for someone to come to him and ask him to do something, how can he not cherish it.
After all, even Taoist priests have to dress and eat, right?
Not to mention that the expenses in other areas will be even greater, and he has heard of the name of Yangshan Inn.
Xu Zhenren thought that he must handle this matter well, and the other party would not give him less money.
But what he values more is that he wants to use this opportunity to spread his reputation.
So that his life can flow smoothly and be more nourishing.
So it goes without saying that the shopkeeper's attitude is very enthusiastic.
"It's right in front, Mr. Xu, please."
"Oh, please, shopkeeper."
However, Xu Zhenren was really curious about Li Zhengyi, whom he had met just once, and couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper next to him as he walked.
"The shopkeeper, who was that just now?"
When Li Zhengyi was mentioned again, the shopkeeper immediately gave him a thumbs up.
Then he said with praise: "The one you mentioned just now? I heard that he is from the next town. Although he is young, he is an official. How many people do he have under his command?"
We couldn't talk about some key information, but it didn't hurt to talk about the insignificant ones. Moreover, Li Zhengyi happened to be related to the matter that was going to be done soon, so the shopkeeper couldn't help but change the topic to that matter.
"He was the one who discovered what happened yesterday. Not only is he brave and careful, but he also handles things safely. He is also a rare and upright official. Let me tell you..."
Then the shopkeeper gave an overview of what happened last night, and emphasized Li Zhengyi's noble character of not taking any money.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xu Zhenren showed some thoughtful expression on his face.
Then he smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "In this case, shopkeeper, you should seize this opportunity and have a good relationship with that person."
"Although it's not obvious yet, even if you just look at his appearance, he will definitely be a wealthy and powerful person in the future..."
