"Yes-" Wang Tong responded, turned and went downstairs.

If you want to find out the origin of the grain store occupied by the magpie's nest, you have to be such a geographical ghost. Although it is definitely more convenient to find Liu San'er, but after all, people are not your subordinates, and they are also characters with identity and face, so it's okay to work hard occasionally, how can you be used as a miscellaneous servant? If you give him money, he won't ask for it, he will try to do it, it's an insult to him. But Zhang Mazi is different, it is precisely because of the disparity in status that he was given a silver reward, and he felt that this was face.

Anyway, this matter is not difficult, it's just because Dong Ce and these outsiders are not familiar with the place, just find Zhang Mazi.

……

Yuelai Inn, backyard.

The scale of this Yuelai Inn is very large, and the backyard is a large courtyard, which has a horse shed, a carriage and horse club, and a large number of houses, which are divided into small courtyards. These small courtyards are basically two-storey buildings, with buildings on three sides, a patio in the middle, and a passage leading to the front lobby.

The façade in front is just the tip of the iceberg, and the large house in the back is the real strength of Yuelai Inn. At a cursory glance, I'm afraid that there must be a hundred or so houses.

A small courtyard to the west is the residence of Dong Ce and others, and they asked for five middle rooms, occupying a building in this courtyard facing west and east. This small building has four rooms on the top and bottom, and the central hall, which occupies two rooms, is exactly six.

It can also be seen that the shopkeeper is careful, and it is convenient to settle their group in an independent building, and all kinds of actions are convenient.

It was dawn.

Naturally, there is no common smog in this era, but in the early morning, there is a thin layer of fog between the heavens and the earth, and the visibility is not very high.

Dong Ce pushed open the window and took a deep breath. The cold air poured into his lungs, making him feel a burst of comfort in his heart and spleen, and the lazy sleepiness of waking up in the morning disappeared without a trace in an instant. From him, it just so happened that he could see the red sun rising. A round of red sun the size of a chicken suddenly jumped out of the sky far away in the east, and the thin mist was dyed with a faint shade of red. At dawn, the fog is hazy, and this scene is beautiful.

He took a deep breath and held it back, and after a long time, he slowly spit it out.

There was already movement in the surrounding rooms, and the other guests in the inn were still asleep at this time, but Dong Ce's family members had already gotten up. Four of the housekeepers went downstairs and took over the four housekeepers who were on duty in the second half of the night. Those who are going back to their rooms to catch up on their sleep.

Although there were no accidents in such a big city, Wang Tong still arranged for the people on duty at night. Four people in the first half of the night, four people in the second half of the night, put one on the left side of the inner side of the courtyard gate, one in the shelter behind the big tree in the courtyard, one in the corner under the courtyard wall directly opposite the courtyard gate, and one in the hall of the small building where Dong Ce was. If something happens, just one person shouts out, and the whole courtyard will be alarmed.

They behaved like this, and the other guests living in the courtyard were all in their eyes, but they were also well-informed, and they knew that these people were extraordinary when they looked at this posture, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Dong Ce is actually not too worried about his own safety, after all, this is real history, not the high-flying martial arts world, no swordsman ranger can withstand a volley of bows and crossbows, and he can be hacked to death if he moves forward with a knife. So far, the most skillful person he has ever seen is only Dong Yongzhen, who is invincible and 'homecoming'. However, Wang Tong's loyalty is commendable, and Dong Ce will not say anything.

He left the window open, so that he could let in the suffocating air of the room.

The room he lived in was the middle room on the second floor, with Wang Tong's room on the left and four families on the right. In this way, once something happens, you will not be alone against the enemy. The room was very large, two feet six feet deep, and one foot and three feet wide. It is divided into two rooms by a screen, inside and outside, and there is a table of eight immortals, three or four chairs, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Dong Ce took a look, and the level was very average. At this moment, the Eight Immortals Table was pushed aside, and a large bath bucket was placed, which contained the water left over from yesterday's bath.

The habits developed in later generations made Dong Ce very clean, and he had to take a bath almost every day. Running all the way, the wind and dust, naturally to take a hot bath and feel comfortable.

There is a large bed, a small table, a table, and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it, of course, all of which are general goods. The table, chairs, and coffee table weren't made of wood, but they were strong and heavy.

All in all very clean, very comfortable to live in, good value for money.

After a while, a guy knocked on the door and carried down yesterday's bath water and tub.

Dong Ce asked, "What do you have to eat in the morning?" ”

They serve two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and no breakfast. In this era, breakfast is generally eaten simply, and many people simply do not eat it. It was Dong Ce who asked this question.

The guy snorted and said with a smile: "If you go back to your son, there are hot buns, fragrant corn porridge, and the best Yangqu corn is used, which is golden and sweet." There are also fried juniper, soy milk, old tofu ......"

Dong Ce said: "Let's have some steamed buns, there are seventeen of us, you watch and send, a big bowl of rice porridge every day." ”

The guy quickly stretched out his voice and said, "You command......

At this moment, Wang Tong stepped into the door of the Yuelai Inn, and behind him was a man in a cloak, his hat was pressed low, and even his face was covered by most of it.

When they entered, the bewitching and gorgeous mature lady proprietress was coming down the stairs, yawning, and her slender white fingers gently covering her mouth, revealing a lazy style. Wang Tong and the two went upstairs, she let them pass, there is no priority for women in this era, Wang Tong and the two took it for granted, and walked over with a grin.

The mature woman's gaze fell on the cloaked man, and a hint of doubt flashed across her gaze.

Wang Tong and the others didn't notice it, he took the man in the cloak to the small courtyard where Dong Ce was, took him up to the second floor, came to Dong Ce's door and knocked: "My lord, it's here." ”

"Well, come in!" Dong Ce's voice came from inside.

Wang Tong and the others pushed the door in, Dong Ce had just finished washing, brushed his teeth, and was sitting on the chair, the man behind him took off his cloak, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The little one knocks to see the adult." ”

"Huh...... Why be so formal. Dong Ce got up and personally helped him up, and said with a smile: "You have contributed a lot to this official, and you will be your own family in the future, so you don't have to be like this." ”

Not counting yesterday, Zhang Mazi is the first time to contact an official as big as him, even though he is ruthless, he has never seen any big scenes, and he is actually very nervous and restrained. When Dong Ce said this, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, and the whole person relaxed a lot. And Dong Ce's attitude also made him grateful.

Wang Tong said in a timely manner: "My lord, my subordinates retire." ”

"Hmm." Dong Ce nodded: "I asked the guy to send some food, and it will be delivered later, you go down and take a look." ”

Wang Tong answered, pushed the door and went out.

"Come, sit down!" Dong Ce sat down from his seat and pointed to the chair on his right.

Zhang Mazi was not an eyeless person, and hurriedly smiled: "In front of adults, how can there be a reason for a small one to sit?" On the contrary, it is comfortable to stand, comfortable to stand. ”

Dong Ce was not reluctant, and asked straight to the point: "How did you find out?" ”

Wang Tong went out at dusk yesterday, and when he found Zhang Mazi, he was gathering with a group of brothers to eat and drink. To say that Zhang Mazi is also a face-to-face figure on the street, he naturally has to find his brothers to get together from time to time to show his status as the boss. He won Dong Ce's reward yesterday, and he completed a big task again, relieved a big heart, and was in a very relaxed mood. In addition, there is a piece of land that is newly occupied, and many of his subordinates have just joined the group, and they are still worried, Zhang Mazi's move is also to appease people's hearts.

The Ming Dynasty naturally had a curfew, but the rules such as curfews were stricter the larger the northern and southern capitals. On the contrary, when it comes to the local county seats, there are not many people who still abide by this, unless the county order is particularly strict and law-abiding, otherwise there is no curfew. There are many big people in Yanghe County, especially there is a Governor Yang who came down from Beijing here, and the local people are very clear about the thoughts of this Governor Yang, so in the spirit of not making mistakes, the curfew is very strict for a while. However, it was later discovered that Governor Yang didn't care about this, so he relaxed.

Therefore, the city of Yanghe at night seems to be a little more prosperous than during the day.

After getting the news, Zhang Mazi immediately ordered his subordinates to search around, as for the money, he didn't ask Wang Tong, he just said that he could find a few people to find the news, and he didn't have to spend a penny to find it, so he didn't dare to accept this money. Wang Tong didn't say much, put the silver in front of him, turned his head and left.

Early this morning, Wang Tong went to look for him, but he didn't expect that it was just a night's work, and he had already found out. This also shows the usefulness of these geographical ghosts. If it weren't for them, Dong Ce would have to be ignorant for at least three or two days, and the others would be small, and it would be a big matter if it was delayed. Zhang Mazi said: "Back to my lord's words, the owner of Xie Ji Grain Store is Xie Poor Xie Daguan, this Xie Daguan, his family lives in the first song of Bimo Street in the south of the city. It's a big house, I'm afraid there are not thirty or forty houses, there is an old mother, a wife, three concubines, two sons, and two women. This Xie Daguan is six out of forty this year, his two sons have been married, and one daughter has been married. In addition to this Xie Ji grain store, there is also a cloth village in the south of the city, and there are 150 acres of land outside the city. This person is greedy and mean, and his reputation in the community is not very good. ”
