The faces of the two girls turned even redder, and they nodded involuntarily. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There is a cafe not far from here called 'Relax', which is owned by an Englishman. Please show me your appreciation."

The taller girl said: "Chinese people are not allowed to enter that cafe, let's go somewhere else."

Lin Yuan smiled confidently and said, "They can prevent other Chinese people from entering, but they dare not prevent me from entering, do you believe it or not?"

The two girls looked at Lin Yuan curiously, and Lin Yuan said, "Then follow me to have a look." He waved at the two girls, and the two girls followed Lin Yuan to the room as if possessed by a demon. In the cafe, all the big men followed. The waiter at the door was an Englishman. When he saw a Chinese coming in, he quickly stretched out his hand and said in English, "Sorry, we don't accept Chinese here."

Lin Yuan sneered and said in English, "Why can't the Chinese go in?"

The waiter was surprised to hear that Lin Yuan could speak English, and was staring dumbfounded at Lin Yuan's work. Lin Yuan said the sentence again in Russian. The waiter couldn't understand Russian, so he couldn't help frowning. They switched to French and German. Although the waiter could not understand these languages, he felt that Lin Yuan spoke three more languages ​​after English. When he saw Lin Yuan speak four languages ​​at once, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. Immediately and respectfully, Lin Yuan was invited in.

When the two girls saw the waiter's attitude towards Lin Yuan, their favor and curiosity towards Lin Yuan increased a lot. When they were seated, a maid came over, and Lin Yuan said in elegant English: "Jiao Sugar macchiato and cheesecake." The eyes of the two girls looked at Lin Yuan and their eyes shone.

When the coffee and cake came, Lin Yuan introduced them again. Seeing that Lin Yuan was so knowledgeable and talented, the two girls felt fascinated. Then Lin Yuan smiled at them and said, "Are you working in the telephone company?"

The petite one nodded and asked, "Who the hell are you? How do you know so many strange things?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My identity is not ordinary." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These two girls seem to be fascinated by me, so I don't need to go around in circles, just ask directly." So Lin Yuan With a charming smile, he said, "Did you receive a call to the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau at eleven o'clock in the morning?"

The taller one hurriedly said: "Yes, I answered it." The petite one immediately retorted after hearing this: "No, obviously I answered it." The two girls then started arguing in a low voice.

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and made a pause gesture, and said, "No matter who answered, I want to know the content of the call."

The petite girl said: "That call was made from the magistrate's yamen, and the content is as follows: Lin Yuan is leaving, no matter what he says, don't agree to it."

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "It turns out that the Fuzhou prefect's yamen is playing tricks inside, but why is the Fuzhou prefect's yamen obstructing my business? By the way, before entering the shipyard today, the master of the Fuzhou prefect said that the prefect can't come because of something. His business has something to do with mine?"

The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more confused he became. At this moment, the taller man asked, "My lord, is Lin Yuan on the phone the governor of the three northeastern provinces?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "I don't know, it should be."

The two girls shyly wanted to say something more, Lin Yuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "Hey, it's almost time for dinner, no, I have to leave, you guys eat slowly."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he came out, and the two girls hurriedly chased him out, but Lin Yuan had already got into the car and walked away, the driver asked Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, did you find any news?"

Lin Yuan said: "I only know that the Yamen of the Fuzhou prefect called Du Yeer and told me not to agree to whatever I did. As for why the Yamen of the Fuzhou prefect made such a call and who was behind it, I am not very sure. clear."

"So what do we do? Where are we going now?" the driver asked.

Lin Yuan said: "Let's go back to the post house first, and we'll talk about other things later." The driver nodded and walked towards the post house. When he turned an intersection, he suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked by several soldiers.

A soldier saw Lin Yuan's car coming, and immediately stepped forward. There are only a handful of cars in China in this era, and ordinary soldiers who can go out by car will never be offended, so the soldier was very polite to Lin Yuan, saying "My lord, please take a detour. In front is the Hongbin Building. Our magistrate has reserved it for a banquet for distinguished guests, so the road ahead is also closed. You should go somewhere else."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is not right. When I came here, the Fuzhou prefect didn't even say that he would entertain me, but now he invites someone else. Could it be that this person has a higher status than me?" Lin Yuan then asked: "Then you know Who is the banquet?"

The soldier smiled and said, "I'm just a big soldier, how can I know, but I heard that this man is a high official in the capital."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Maybe the person who invited me is me, am I not a high-ranking official from the capital? Could it be that the magistrate is still playing surprises with me?" So Lin Yuan laughed and said to the soldiers: "I Let me tell you, I am the one hosting the banquet here today! Well, let me go in."

The soldier hurriedly asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My lord, Lin Yuan."

The soldier quickly fell down and bowed down, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to help him up, then got out of the car with the driver, walked inside, Lin Yuan soon came to the gate of Hongbin Building, it was still early, The prefect of Fuzhou hadn't arrived yet, and the staff of the prefect of Fuzhou were busy inside. One of the staff saw Lin Yuan at a glance, yelled in panic, then turned around and ran into the house.

Lin Yuan wondered: "Why did he see me running?" At this moment, he found that the people around him were looking at him in panic, as if he was a plague god, Lin Yuan frowned, and was angry at the person next to him. Said: "I'm Lin Yuan, call me the person in charge here!"

At this moment, a middle-aged fat man came out from the inside, and said to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, don't be angry, I am the master of the magistrate, please follow me inside, I feel sorry for you .”

Lin Yuan also wanted to know what happened, why were the people around him so afraid of him?So I followed the master to the inner room. As soon as Lin Yuan entered the room, the master closed the door of the room as if there was a ghost outside. Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that the master took a few steps, knelt down in front of Lin Yuan, kowtowed three times in a row, and begged, "Shuai Lin, please spare the little one!" Let's die."

Lin Yuan became even more confused, and asked: "Why do you say such things, get up quickly, and explain the matter clearly to me, otherwise I will definitely find fault and take your head."

The master stood up and said to Lin Yuan: "You are not invited tonight, but a high-ranking official from the capital. The high-ranking official heard that you have arrived in Fuzhou, so he specially confessed that the dinner tonight must not be You are invited! If he sees you at the dinner party, he will find a way to get the heads of our prefect and servants!"
