Chapter 282: Finding a way to find someone

There is an inn that is much larger than Yuelai Inn. Although there are not many vacancies, there are still some.

That night, we ordered a table of exquisite meals, and the uncle and nephew had a hearty meal.

Then, he forced Lingyue to take a bath.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next morning, Su Jing and Lingyue were already up.

After a night's rest, the two of them had recovered from the hard work of the long journey and were in good spirits again.

After thinking about it this night, Su Jing had already thought about what he would do next.

Chang'an City is vast, and trying to find someone you don't know is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Fortunately, I still know a name... but it can't be said that there are no clues.

"There are some underground organizations in every place. They are local snakes. They are not powerful, but they are very difficult to deal with. They may not have the ability to kill and fight, but when it comes to finding people or finding out any information, they are definitely well-informed and extraordinary. Comparable.”

Su Jing was sitting in the hall drinking millet porridge, looking at the bustling crowd outside, and said: "We are unfamiliar with each other, and we are almost blind. The first thing to do now is to find a place to settle down." , and it doesn’t matter if you find a way to meet these local snakes and pay some money.”

Lingyue is different from Su Jing. She is passionate about meat. She gnawed on a meat bun and asked, "Then should we find someone first or settle down first?"

"Settling down, of course."

Su Jing touched his pocket in pain and said: "I finally know the sinister intentions of the owner of Yuelai Inn. The price of this inn is too high. It cost us ten liang in one night." Silver... If you stay in such a high-end place for a few more days, you may have to live in a house directly. No wonder there are so many people in the Tang Dynasty and it is still empty. This is the presidential suite. "

"Uncle, what do you mean by tradition?"

"No...nothing...just a casual sigh."

Su Jingdao: "If I continue to live here, even if I don't have any daily expenses, I'm afraid my money won't be able to last for long, so I hate big cities because the consumption is too high! Come on, let's go out and have a look after eating."

"Um."

Lingyue obediently ate the pickles that Su Jing brought over in one gulp. The days when she was starved of food in the past were so scary that she now had an indescribable obsession with not wasting food.

The uncle and nephew came out after finishing their meal.

Yesterday, they were walking in a hurry, looking for a place to stay. They didn't have time to take a closer look. Today, they had no clear purpose. Only then did the two of them have time to observe their surroundings, and then they discovered...

The small shops are not visible yet, but the big ones have been decorated with lights and decorations early. It seems that the whole street is lively!

And among the passers-by, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the one they talked about the most was their emperor's birthday...everyone's mouth and face showed full of love!

"It seems that the emperor is quite popular."

Su Jing whispered to Lingyue.

Lingyue nodded and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sentence above her head!

"Huh, what a bullshit birthday. You're obviously not that old, but you still live like those old people. It's just..."

Suddenly.

In the restaurant, near the window on the second floor, a young man in rich clothes with a haughty look on his face complained dissatisfied: "Do you really think that by winning the hearts of the people in the world, you will be able to secure your position in the world? You know This world is a world of five surnames and seven hopes!"

"Silence, don't talk nonsense!"

Someone immediately yelled at me.

Su Jing raised his eyebrows, and then he noticed that this was really an interesting scene. It seemed that the people who praised the emperor were all civilians wearing coarse clothes, while those with dissatisfied eyes were mostly in gorgeous clothes. Sons of powerful people.

Except for the one who just uttered the arrogant words, most of the luxuriously dressed people seemed to be disapproving of this so-called birthday congratulations.

"This emperor is quite interesting. Looking at this state, he probably wants to attack the powerful and support the common people, right? He can be regarded as a wise emperor. I wonder who it is? Li Shimin? Or..."

Although it was just a detail, Su Jing, who had watched too many historical dramas in his previous life, immediately figured out the key points.

Su Jing asked: "Lingyue, do you know the name of this emperor?"

Lingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know either... How about uncle, let me go and ask for you?"

"Forget it if we don't know. Anyway, this matter is too far away from us. If we can't worry about it, why should we care?"

Su Jing thought it was better to take care of his own one-third of an acre of land.

Now he led Lingyue to the remote West City!

The East City is too prosperous, and you can’t even afford it without asking... The West City is more desolate, so it should be just fine.

Sure enough, when we arrived in the West City, it was immediately inferior to the prosperity of the East City.

There were fewer people walking and talking about national affairs, and there were many people discussing household matters. In the crowded place, people bumped into each other from time to time. Su Jing frowned, and immediately protected Lingyue with his body to prevent those pedestrians. squeezed him.

The level of the houses and courtyards that you see before your eyes has been reduced a lot, it is less prosperous, with red bricks and green tiles, and more of the warmth of home.

Su Jing took Lingyue with him and finally squeezed out from the crowd of pedestrians.

Walking around the streets and alleys for a few times, they found a few houses for sale. Some of them needed money urgently because their family members were sick, some needed to move their families, and some needed gambling debts...

After looking at a few houses.

They both liked a nice courtyard house.

The location was OK, not too far from Dongcheng. The backyard was beside the lake, and there were willows swaying. There were small flowers and grasses planted in the yard, which looked particularly warm...

If it was the original price, I'm afraid it might not be possible to get it even at three thousand taels!

The seller of this courtyard was a shrewd man with a thin face. He asked for one thousand five hundred taels and required cash.

Although Lingyue was young, she was better at dealing with people than Su Jing. Seeing that this man did not match this elegant courtyard at all, she was confused.

She quietly went out for a walk and found out everything.

It turned out that this man was an honest and capable man when he was young. He worked for a rich man for several years. Somehow, he got the attention of the rich man's eldest daughter... The two of them secretly hooked up.

The rich man was angry, but he felt sorry for his daughter's poor health. It was rare for him to meet a lover, so he had no choice but to recruit this man as a son-in-law.

But this man was honest before, but once he had money, he immediately showed his true colors. He ate, drank, gambled, and ignored his wife at home. The rich man was so angry that he died directly because he was in poor health.

Once the pillar of the family was gone, the family business was left unattended, and the family property could not withstand the spending of Chang'an City, a lavish place... In just two years, all the assets were sold out. This courtyard was the ancestral home of the rich man's family and the last residence of the couple. Everything here was said to be taken care of by the eldest daughter. Unfortunately, two months ago, the eldest daughter was exhausted and finally died!

And this man owed a huge gambling debt. If he didn't sell the house, his hands would be chopped off.

Lingyue found out the man's origin in a short while, and then whispered it to Su Jing.

Su Jing suddenly realized that he had understood... Anyway, it was okay as long as his origin was not bad. This man was capable enough. The son-in-law turned the tables and sold the house. Although others couldn't bear it, they couldn't say anything.

He simply said: "Okay! One thousand five hundred taels, I will give you cash, you immediately sign a receipt!"

The man saw that Su Jing didn't bargain, and he hesitated and said: "This... I suddenly feel that one thousand five hundred taels is too little, how about... one thousand eight hundred taels?"

Su Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the small flower wall made of blue bricks in the courtyard.

A blue brick was shattered silently.

Man: “…………………………”

Su Jing smiled and said, “I suddenly feel that 1,500 taels is a bit too much. How about 1,400 taels?”

“This, this, this… whatever you like.”

The man immediately smiled flatteringly.

Su Jing turned around and said, “Lingyue, pay!”

Lingyue nodded, reached out to her waist and fumbled, ready to take the money…

After a moment, her movements suddenly froze.

Su Jing was confused and said, “What’s wrong?”

“Uncle…”

Lingyue looked up, with a sad look in her eyes, and looked at Su Jing and said, “All the money we have has been stolen.”
