The calm kiln town finally became lively before winter came. As before, caravans from the south and north gathered again on this small town with natural docks and began their respective transactions.

As a time-honored inn in Yao Town, Dongsheng Inn has many regular customers. In fact, many transactions are achieved in Dongsheng Inn every year.

But this year is obviously different. The caravans who came to Yao Town unexpectedly discovered that just opposite Dongsheng Inn, another even more luxurious Yuelai Inn was opened.

It is hard to go out. In the past, only Dongsheng Inn, an inn that was still well-known, the merchants naturally had no other choice but to stay in Dongsheng Inn. But now, seeing Yuelai Inn, which is obviously several levels higher than Dongsheng Inn, a group of merchants suddenly became "loving the new and getting tired of the old".

For the staff at Yuelai Inn, who was like a guest, facing such a situation, they naturally had a smile on their faces and a mp in their hearts.

Although he has been a shopkeeper, a friend, and a chef for several months, unlike the Dongchang Jiangji Silk and Satin Village who have been "rooted" here for many years and have been familiar with or even accepted his fate, these Jinyiwei do not have such awareness. Performing tasks is the same, but it is a bit difficult to like the job of serving people like this.

But no matter how they complain, on the surface, they still have to be very happy. After all, as normal inn shopkeepers and friends, the more customers the better the inn business, and the more employees they rely on inns to survive can earn more benefits to support their families.

But only Lu Xiao and theirs have different ideas.

Seeing so many guests coming, the entire Yuelai Inn became extremely busy, and he was very happy.

It’s not that this can really bring more benefits to him, nor because his identity is the boss and he doesn’t have to participate in these tasks. So he saw his busy subordinates having some joyful bad taste in his heart. It was Wang Jinbao’s incident that sounded the alarm for him.

Although he has not found any other traces of Dongchang personnel in Kiln Town since he committed suicide, Wang Jinbao's identity is an indisputable fact after all. Although it is not known whether there are other Dongchang spies lurking in Xin'an County besides Wang Jinbao, Lu Xiao had to be careful, because no one was sure that the people from Dongchang would appear in recent times to investigate Wang Jinbao's disappearance.

Therefore, at this time, Yuelai Inn, the base of the Jinyiwei, must try to hide its identity and be careful not to reveal something that may expose itself. As an opponent who has been fighting each other since its establishment, Lu Xiao was sure that as long as Yuelai Inn leaked a little bit of the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang spies that would appear at some time would smell it, and then the exposure would completely expose Yuelai Inn. If this is true, then as the highest commander and direct person in charge of the Yuelai Inn, he would be afraid that he would be able to escape the blame.

But he could not tell these subordinates about Wang Jinbao, because before he received a reply from his father Lu Xin, he could not help but involve Li Dali when he mentioned Wang Jinbao, and once Li Dali was involved...

Therefore, now that due to the influx of a large number of merchants and all the staff of the entire Yuelai Inn have the excuse of being treated as a normal inn hired by Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao does not have to waste his brain or saliva, and can make the entire Yuelai Inn look no different from a normal inn, thus perfectly avoiding the potential spies from the East Factory who come to investigate the situation. How can this make Lu Xiao unhappy?

The situation is similar to what Lu Xiao thought.

After hearing that Wang Jinbao was missing, he made up his mind to investigate all this clearly and find out who dared to be arrogant on the Dongchang. The next day, He Er turned his suspicious eyes to Yuelai Inn opposite him.

After all, before Yuelai Inn was built, nothing abnormal happened. Now, Yuelai Inn has just been built for a few months, and such a big accident has occurred, which is a bit too coincidental.

He Erke didn't believe in any coincidence, so on the second day, he took advantage of the opportunity to negotiate a business with the southern merchants who lived in Yuelai Inn and entered Yuelai Inn.

But He Er did not gain much.

As a lurking spy, all the shopkeepers Zhao Qing and servants who work in the backyard were carefully selected and entered the real inn to learn. Moreover, unlike "professional" shops like Jiangji Silk and Satin Village, shops like inns actually do not have much professional knowledge to learn. As long as you treat customers, you can lower your posture and listen to your words. Even if the guy is a little ill, he can use the inn to open a new inn and is not skilled in explaining.

If the inn was not busy in the past, they had just transformed from Jinyiwei to a servant and servant, and they might have unconsciously revealed some familiar smell of He Er. However, in the past few days, they were so busy that they had no extra energy to think about other things, these people's performance was even more like the inn's mate than Bai Shier of Dongsheng Inn. He Er passed by like a quick-witted flower. How could he find out any flaws?

He Er, who had not seen any flaws from Yuelai Inn, could only believe in his heart that the sudden appearance of Yuelai Inn and Wang Jinbao's disappearance were indeed just a coincidence.

After the Yuelai Inn was released, his scrutiny eyes fell back to the Dongsheng Inn, which Wang Jinbao had been staying for several years, and the new friend Bai Shier who suddenly appeared in the inn, who was like Yuelai Inn.

In fact, at the beginning, the first person he suspected was Bai Shier, who replaced Wang Jinbao's position, but soon, he postponed Bai Shier's suspicion. The other party was just a child who was underage. No matter how bad Wang Jinbao's martial arts were, he would not be killed by his opponent without any noise. Therefore, He Er was more inclined to be Yuelai Inn, which had a large number of people at that time.

But now, because the suspicion of Yuelai Inn has been ruled out, the suspicion can only be returned to Bai Shier again.

As for the other two people in the inn, Sun Ji and Li Dali, He Er had never been suspected by He Er since the beginning. After all, the two had been with Wang Jinbao in the inn for at least three years. If they really had problems, how could they wait until today to have problems?

The inertial thinking made He Er let Li Dali go so easily, who had really cut off Wang Jinbao's head, and turned his suspicious eyes to Bai Shier who was "innocent" on the side.

But there are mistakes and tricks. Bai Shier, who has nothing to do with this matter, became the key figure in He Er's breakthrough.

In fact, when He Er was secretly investigating Wang Jinbao's disappearance, he didn't know that Bai Shier was also thinking about how to find him, the East Factory spy who came to join Wang Jinbao.

As the only outsider who knows the truth about Wang Jinbao's disappearance, Bai Shier did not have the idea of ​​protecting himself and avoiding it.

Whether it is praising Bai Shier for being a newborn calf, or scolding him for not being afraid of being a big deal, no matter what the reason is, even though Wang Jinbao's incident involves open and secret struggles between two giants, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Bai Shier still intervened in regardless.

Under the premise that he knew exactly how much he was and how powerful the Jinyiwei was, his way of intervening was to point out a way to break into the East Factory, which could not find the door outside.

This road is very clear. Bai Shier had clearly seen it the night when Wang Jinbao had an accident, but it was undoubtedly a very difficult thing to identify the target he wanted to guide was a spy from Dongchang.

Although he was not afraid of big trouble when he watched the fun, he still had a conscience in his heart, so he didn't want to see innocent people being caught in it, and his body was gone. Moreover, if his actions were exposed because of this innocent person who was caught in it, he would be even more "losing his wife and losing his troops."

Therefore, Bai Shiyi was very cautious.

Unlike Lu Xiao, who is uncertain about whether the spy from Dongchang will appear in Yao Town recently, Bai Shier is very sure of this in his heart.

Bai Shier has been in Dongsheng Inn for more than half a year. Although he dare not say that he is aware of Wang Jinbao, Bai Shier is very familiar with his various habits.

But just as Li Dali suddenly disappeared and appeared again. During the whole day when Wang Jinbao exposed his identity and was chased, Bai Shier noticed that he was different from the past.

First of all, it was early morning. If it were the past, when Li Dali pulled him to tell those things and lay the foundation for his own disappearance, Wang Jinbao would have ended everything in the backyard early and returned to the front to help him clean the lobby and the door. That day, it was not until Li Dali finished talking about those words and Bai Shier cleaned the entire lobby that Wang Jinbao was late.

Let’s go again, that evening, Li Dali suddenly returned. When the Yuelai Inn opposite him suddenly sent a rider to leave soon, he inexplicably spoke about this matter.

After so long, Bai Shier had been to Dongsheng Inn, it was the first time that he had seen Wang Jinbao talk about something without anyone asking about it.

Bai Shier felt a little strange at that time. How could Wang Jinbao, a person who has always been dull and doesn't like to talk to others, be so concerned about the fact that there is a knight who leaves in the evening in Yuelai Inn? He can clearly point out that the knight is the clerk in Yuelai Inn.

And soon, Bai Shier understood the reason.

Obviously, as a spy on the East Factory, Wang Jinbao, as a colleague, had already smelled the smell of the group of Jinyiwei inn opposite Yuelai Inn. Therefore, he was so concerned about everything about Yuelai Inn and unconsciously showed a little of his ability.

Having noticed that the Yuelai Inn opposite was the Jinyiwei stronghold, Bai Shier did not believe that Wang Jinbao would continue to lie dormant and did not report the news.

Thinking about the morning when Wang Jinbao stayed in the backyard for so long, Bai Shier was already sure that Wang Jinbao planned to report the information. He avoided everyone and stayed alone in the backyard for so long, obviously just preparing.

Moreover, when Bai Shier was chasing Wang Jinbao and Li Dali, he also found the small inkstone with ink traces from Wang Jinbao's house when he was searching for Lu Xiao and Li Dali.

All this situation tells Bai Shier that the person who came to Dongchang to join Wang Jinbao should be coming. The night he was killed, before his identity was revealed, he should be writing relevant news, intending to wait until the person who came to join him arrived and convey it.

However, what made Bai Shier feel very sorry was that Wang Jinbao's piece of paper full of intelligence still existed at this time. If he could find it, it would undoubtedly increase his persuasion, so that after he found the spy of Dongchang, he would immediately not waste time, and persuade Dongchang to enter as soon as possible while minimizing the exposure of his identity.

He Er and Bai Shier, who were both looking for each other, were carrying out their own secret actions without knowing it. In this regard, He Er, who had already determined the goal, actually took the lead. However, Bai Shier, who was temporarily "lagging behind", also has his own advantages, which is different from He Er who determined the goal, but had to investigate it very carefully. As long as he could determine the goal, he would be able to successfully complete his established goal immediately.

...

The sun sets, and the tired day is finally over. The shopkeeper Sun Ji couldn't help but feel relaxed and rubbed his shoulders and neck, which was a little sore. It was the busiest time of the year, but there was still one person missing in the inn. As the shopkeeper, Sun Ji could not relax. At this time, he wanted to go home immediately, lie on the bed, and let his wife rub her.

"Shopkeeper Sun." But unfortunately, his wish seemed to be about to fail. He Er, who was planning to open a breakthrough from Sun Ji, walked into the lobby. "Do you have free time now, are you willing to have a few drinks with me?"

"How can I not drink wine?" But looking at the bottle of good wine that He Er put on the table, Sun Ji felt that the situation now seemed to be bad. He smiled and kept going back and forth twice under his feet, and brought out a plate of side dishes for wine to bring two wine glasses and two pairs of chopsticks. "Why are Brother He so interested today? Could it be that he bought the best silk cloth you like today?"

"Hey, I haven't done a deal yet. Brother Sun, don't you know?" He Er, who helped Sun Jiman, poured himself another glass of glass, raised his glass, and smiled bitterly on his face, "I've picked a lot of things, but when asked about the price..." He Er picked up the glass with a depressed look on his face and drank it all. "In recent years, this southern silk cloth has looked more and more, but the price has not only not dropped, but it has become more and more expensive every year. Is it strange?"

"Hey, what's strange about this?" Sun Ji raised his glass and drank it all, but his face was filled with contempt and anger. "Where did this extra silk cloth flow? Isn't you, the one who lives in Xiaoxiaoyao Town, knowing that you, the shopkeeper, are you, who are better than me, who are living in Xiaoxiaoyao Town?"

"How can I not know?" He Er knew that the contempt and resentment on Sun Ji's face were not aimed at him, so he was not angry. After raising Sun Ji and himself again, he said helplessly with a three-point anger on his face, "But even if I know, what can I do as a small silk shop guy?"

"Oh!" The contempt and anger on Sun Ji's face also changed to helplessness. He sighed, shook his head gently, and without opening his mouth, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"To be honest, it's still safer to run a business like Brother Sun, who is a good place to stay and play a leading role. No matter how hard the guys who should kill thousands of swords are, they will still be smooth every year and will not worry about wealth." Seeing Sun Ji put down the wine glass in his hand, He Er quickly helped him fill it up again, and said with a little envious tone.

"Brother He can't say that," Sun Ji waved his hand quickly, "Our small inn can only earn a few hard money all year round, so how can we get any money?" Sun Ji said, while pointing at the opposite side with a little resentment, "It's hard to grab business like this on the other side." As he said, Sun Ji couldn't help but drink it all with a depressed look on his face.

"Hey, Brother Sun, do you need to say these polite words to me?" Looking at Sun Ji, who had drunk a few glasses of strong wine, He Er was proud, but he spoke with a little dissatisfaction on his face, "If Guangjin's wealth was not available, how could Brother Sun have hired another friend in this year? By the way," He Ertu was able to see.
