The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"I don't know what happened today. These people came to the inn early in the morning. The kitchen said that they could still handle it at noon, but there would not be enough food in the kitchen at night." The shopkeeper explained, "Even if there are more guests at noon, it's a bit stretched."

"This place was flooded two years ago, and the old county town was washed away. Here, everything is newly built, the place is simple, and the conditions are limited. This inn is opened here, hoping for the occasional objective care, but there are not many people. On weekdays, the things in the inn are purchased from the surrounding materials. Who grows the vegetables, who catches the fish, who is lucky and hunts the prey, these are all uncertain things."

"Today, the guest rooms are all full, and the inn is not well prepared. We can only ask the waiter to go outside to see who can buy things from and send them over quickly. The inn can't let the guests who come in starve."

The man listened and nodded seriously.

So that's it.

"I've heard about the flood here." The man said, "It hasn't recovered in the past two years?"

"How can it be relieved? The common people rely on farming for their livelihood. When a flood comes, the land is washed away. It takes a lot of effort just to clean it up. The food we harvest all year round is not enough to fill our stomachs. Fortunately, the court did not collect taxes, otherwise we would have no way to survive."

"We are busy trying to survive all year round. We can't save any extra money. We can barely maintain this inn. When we are free, we drive the car to collect things from farther places, or prepare to lay some eggs when there are people coming from other places to sell goods."

"Local people raise chickens at home and rely on them to lay eggs. How can we bear to sell them?"

After a while, the shopkeeper started chatting with the man and learned that they would stay here for a few more days.

How many days? That's easy.

"In that case, I have to prepare everything in advance." The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Otherwise, when the guests are going to eat one day, the inn doesn't even have all the dishes ready, which will really ruin the business."

The waiter sent the message out, and then followed the shopkeeper's instructions to contact the surrounding areas for procurement.

The people from the Hundred Riders Division found Li Fu outside the city.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Li Fu looked at the sign in his hand.

"From Linying or Chang'an?"

"I came from Chang'an, and I traveled day and night to catch up with Your Highness."

"For the assassin?" Li Fu asked.

"Have you noticed it?"

Li Fu nodded.

"Last night, my guards noticed that there were more than one group of people ambushing on the shore." Li Fu said, and then looked at Wu Liangye.

Wu Liangye told the people from the Hundred Riders Division about the information he had found.

"Your Highness, those people are now in Linying County and have stayed in an inn. There is only one inn in the county. I am worried that you will go to the inn after entering the city, so I am waiting for you outside the city." The Hundred Cavalry Division said.

Li Fu returned the waist badge to the man.

"They are all gathered in the inn. How many people are there on the other side?" Li Fu asked.

"There are more than 60 people in total, and the inn is full."

"There are really a lot of people." Li Fu's expression was indifferent: "How does the Hundred Cavalry Division plan to deal with these people?"

Since the Hundred Cavalry Division of Chang'an City came here specifically, it means that His Majesty has also known about it.

"Our people are dispatching personnel to capture all the people and bring them back to Chang'an City."

"There are more than 60 people in the open, and the Hundred Cavalry Division has dispatched personnel. Are there so many of your people around?" Li Fu said, "I have asked Dong Jiu to take Yu He to mobilize the army."

"Although the noise is a bit loud, I came to Linying County and arrived at the local area. It is reasonable to dispatch troops to protect myself. Even if they see it, at most they will not take action again, and they may not leave Linying immediately. At least, they have to reply to Chang'an City. When Chang'an City issues an order, he They will leave, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. "

"Your Highness, the Hundred Riders Division plans to control the time within two days. As for the inn, we will take advantage of the opportunity when they are all together to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

"Okay, if necessary, I will let the army cooperate with you." Li Fu said: "After the people are captured, bring them back to Chang'an City, and help me send a message to His Majesty. Don't repeat it again and again. In the past, it was because they were all Li family members. This time, there are no family members involved. I want justice. "

"Yes." The people of the Hundred Riders Division hurriedly bowed and responded.

In this way, Li Fu did not plan to enter the county town, but went directly to the place where he had chosen to start construction.

Coming from Chang'an City, he also brought a lot of supplies and went directly to the construction site to build the infrastructure. Even if the days were long,It's okay to work harder and get through these few days.

With so many craftsmen, are you still worried about not having a place to live?

In the kitchen of the inn.

"Lao Gao, I got something good." The waiter came to the side of the cook, with a sly smile on his face, and took out an oil paper bag from his arms.

It's not small.

"What good stuff is this?"

The waiter came to Lao Gao's ear and whispered.

"Knockout drug."

!!!

Lao Gao's eyes widened.

"You are planning to... those people are all martial artists, I think you should not make any plans." Lao Gao also lowered his voice: "Don't alert the enemy unless it's absolutely necessary."

The waiter looked around.

"I know, when you can't control yourself, you can use this. I tell you, this thing is very powerful, it's used to poison animals."

"Pour it into the big pot, and people can sleep for a day and a night after eating it."

"If you really can't keep it, use this thing, and you have to leave it to people. Besides, it will save trouble when you catch it." The waiter smiled slyly.

"Find a place to hide this thing first, don't let anyone find it, if someone sneaks in to check it in the middle of the night, it will be all over if they are found." The cook said.

"Okay, I'll hide it for you." The waiter smiled.

Giving drugs should only be done when there is no way to keep people. This is a forced method. For these martial artists who live on the edge of a knife, it is not a safe strategy.

These people are very defensive, and they are more vigilant about this thing.

On Li Fu's side, the group arrived at the originally planned place. It was already noon. After arriving at the place, the craftsmen began to work enthusiastically.

The guards took turns to find a place to rest first.

The craftsmen first built a tent for Li Fu, and Li Fu led a few personal guards into the tent.

"Now we have contacted the Hundred Cavalry Division, and there are people watching them. You can stay here first and rest for a while." Li Fu said to Wu Liangye and others.
