Fumanlou is a comprehensive high-end inn that integrates accommodation, dining, drinking and entertainment. Its location is also the most elegant and prosperous area in the county.
Looking down from upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Qinghe County.
Xu Qin had no intention of doing this. He decided to go downstairs with a folding fan to show his face and spread the contact code.
After checking in yesterday, he took advantage of the opportunity to eat in the front building and showed his face once.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to attract the other person's attention.
So, he decided to hang out now and have some breakfast.
As soon as I sat down in the restaurant on the front floor, I looked up and saw a diner sitting in the corner, his sharp eyes scanning towards me.
Don’t you know what’s wrong with your outfit?
Logically speaking, it is very common for a young man from a wealthy family from out of town to go out for fun in late spring or early summer.
Xu Qin noticed that the other party did not pay attention to the fan in his hand, but focused on his face.
I am not a woman, how can I see flowers?
It seemed that he was focused on checking his physical features.
Perhaps, this guy had read his own portrait over and over again beforehand, and now he was scanning it with his retina.
See how similar it is, or maybe it's the target himself.
"Waiter, where are the steamed dumplings and wontons I wanted? Why haven't they been delivered yet? It's too slow."
Xu Qin banged the folding fan, deliberately pretending to be impatient, and complained to the waiter in the hall.
The waiter hurriedly came over and explained with a bow and a bow:
"Sir, we all cook and steam here. There are many customers for breakfast in the morning. Many people placed orders last night and the food has to be delivered to their door. Hehe... You have just arrived. Please wait patiently for a while."
After hearing this, Xu Qin was furious, like a playboy who couldn't accept any grievance.
"Pop..." There was a sound.
Xu Qin put the five taels of silver ingots on the table, "Are you afraid that I will eat the Overlord's meal?"
"If you can't handle these two kinds of food, ask the shopkeeper to come over. If you continue to delay, don't blame me for tearing down your famous brand."
Extremely arrogant.
The waiter smiled bitterly, "Master, it will be your turn soon..."
"What do you mean? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"
As he said this, he stood up and took action.
I caught a glimpse of the diners sitting in the corner who were a little unhappy and were about to say something.
"Here you go, two baskets of steamed dumplings and one bowl of wontons. Master, please use them slowly."
At this moment, the waiter came over with a tray in his hand.
He put the food in front of Xu Qin very quickly and said, "Master, please use it slowly.
Don't worry, be careful not to burn your mouth right after taking it out of the pot. "
Looking at his expression, Xu Qin felt that he was hinting to let himself wait slowly.
"let it go."
Xu Qin glanced at him, lowered his head and started eating.
After a while, when he looked up again, the diners in the corner had disappeared.
Xu Qin put the folding fan next to him and began to enjoy his favorite steamed buns and wontons slowly.
After eating, he returned to the guest room on the back floor and continued to wait patiently.
While drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside the window, an hour passed and still no one came to the door.
He understood that the person in charge who could see him should not be in Fuman Building.
The waiter in the shop was just a boy, or maybe he wasn't at all. What he just said was purely normal persuasion.
Damn it, what should I do?
The fuss he made just now was enough to attract the attention of the people around him. Do he want to make another fuss?
At this time, Xu Sanlang came in, looking abnormal.
"Young Master, do you know who I just saw?"
"who?"
Xu Qin was nervous when he heard the sound, and his hair stood up.
"That Yi Lin Wei Qian Hu, the Qian Hu official named Xie, is in the Wang family earth castle..." Xu Sanlang lowered his voice and said incoherently.
Oh, I remembered that Qianhu Xie Yunzhong who tried to prevent the execution of Zhou Shixiu.
What is he doing here?
I never told Zhang Fu’s people.
Even if Xie Yunzhong led his team to Huai'an Mansion, he could not have known in advance that he would live in Fuman Building.
"How did Xie Yunzhong dress up and what did he do at Fumanlou? Please tell me in detail." Xu Qin asked.
"Xie Qianhu was dressed in warrior attire and entered the small private room on the second floor of the front building. There was a man waiting there."
"There was a transom on the roof of the second floor. I jumped up and lay on the roof to peek for a while. The strange man was a member of Jinyiwei Baihu. His surname was Pan. He was in charge of the entire Jinyiwei shadow network in Huai'an Prefecture."
"They talked about you, young master, and some situations of the Jianwen Party in Huai'an Prefecture. It seems that Jin Yiwei also took action this time."
"It's a pity that I couldn't lie down on the roof for too long, because this building is circular, and a tenant on the back floor opened the window and seemed to have spotted me, so I quickly got out of the way."
Xu Sanlang took a sip of tea and continued:
"I was waiting at the entrance of the lobby. About two-quarters of an hour later, Xie Yunzhong and Pan Baihu left the restaurant one after another."
After hearing this, Xu Qin gritted his molars and sneered.
It turns out that Xie Yunzhong is also from Jinyiwei.
No wonder he spoke boldly last time, wanting to stop Zhou Shixiu, a major Jianwen criminal, and to pry open his mouth to learn more about Jianwen's gang members.
Their "passionate killing" ruined Jin Yiwei's chance to claim credit and reward, and they all secretly held a grudge.
"Well done. After eating, you can continue to go out for reconnaissance. You can go outside Fuman Building and take a look around. Be careful not to be exposed."
Seeing that the young master rarely praised him, Xu Sanlang felt sweet in his heart, grinned and nodded.
…
Waiting for someone is the most annoying thing.
Xu Qin returned to the room from breakfast and waited until evening. Night fell and never left the room.
Originally, he wanted to go downstairs, but thinking of Xie Yunzhong, Jin Yiwei, and the mysterious diner, he decided not to go downstairs.
Even lunch was brought to the front building by Saburo.
Just as Xu Qin stood at the window, facing the twinkling lights on the street, he lit the candlestick in the room.
"Young Master, there is Mr. Zhang downstairs who wants to see you!"
After hearing this, Xu Qin's face tightened, and he glanced at Sanlang in surprise, seeming to have some reaction.
"Let him come in, and you go to the stairs to guard him."
"yes."
Xu Sanlang responded in a low voice, turned and left.
Xu Qin knew in his heart that the person he had made an appointment with had finally arrived.
He was quite nervous and went to the window to blow in the cold air to wake himself up.
At this time, light footsteps came from the wooden floor corridor outside the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
A gentle knock on the door.
"come in!"
Xu Qin turned around and stood facing the door.
"Creak..." There was a sound, and a long figure flashed in.
The man came in and closed the door, appearing very cautious.
The person who came here was not tall. According to modern measurement, he was only about 1.70 meters.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hood and a black cloak, the entire body is covered tightly.
Based on his face shape and eyes, Xu Qin vaguely felt that he had seen him there.
The visitor took two steps forward, and a faint fragrance hit him.
Xu Qin didn't speak, he just stood there calmly and looked at the person he was meeting with.
