Chapter 2247 2249 [Mr. Baimei]
After bidding farewell to Xing Tutou, Xiang Nan took Yan Xiaoliu to patrol the streets.
"Brother Li, I will follow you from now on." Yan Xiaoliu said as he walked, "There is something I don't understand, you have to teach me."
"Don't worry." Xiang Nan nodded.
The two patrolled from East Street to West Street, from South Pavilion to North Bridge. Along the way, the merchants on both sides of the street greeted Xiang Nan warmly when they saw Xiang Nan.
"Hey, Captain Li, I'm not mistaken, why is it you? You're back to being a head hunter?! It's really gratifying. I'll treat you to dinner at noon, please be sure to honor me."
"Hey, Catcher Li, you're back to your old job again? That's great, Qixia Town has you, and we feel at ease. This tea is new, Yuqian Longjing, you can take it and taste it .”
"Li Baotou, this is my new pastry, you take a box home to taste. What money is not money, you work so **** the streets, we should pay tribute, right?"
Seeing Xiang Nan patrolling the road, all the merchants on both sides greeted him with smiles, not only saying New Year's greetings, but also giving gifts endlessly, Yan Xiaoliu couldn't help being very envious.
He used to patrol the streets with Master before, so he never received this kind of treatment.
…
Pass the street all the way to Tongfu Inn.
"The shopkeeper is doing well, how is the business today?" Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled.
"Ah, Dazui, no, Captain Li, come here." Tong Xiangyu greeted him with a smile, "Ah, wearing this official uniform is different, it looks more grand. Exhibition hall, serve tea!"
Bai Zhantang brought tea with a smile, "Li catcher drinks tea~"
"You and I should stop being so outliers, just call me big mouth." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, why haven't you seen Xiao Guo?"
"Xiao Guo went to find a bookseller for Xiucai." Bai Zhantang explained, "Xiucai's "Wulin Biography" has already been written to the second volume, and the writing is really evil. Xiao Guo thinks that a book can be published, so he went to Shibali The shop is looking for a bookseller."
"So that's how it is." Xiang Nan nodded, and then reminded, "Old Bai, I just read the Yamen Mansion Newspaper, and there are unscrupulous booksellers who take advantage of the chance of students rushing to publish books, and set up a trap to cheat money. So, you guys Be careful."
"Okay, I see." Bai Zhantang laughed.
Seeing his casual attitude, Xiang Nan knew that he was definitely not at ease.
No wonder.
Lao Bai thinks he is an old Jianghu, and he is the only one who can deceive others. There is no way for others to deceive him. So he naturally didn't take his warning to heart.
Xiang Nan didn't say much at the moment, and after drinking tea, he and Yan Xiaoliu continued to patrol the streets.
I have to say that the law and order in Qixia Town is good.
Not to mention vicious crimes such as fighting, robbery and murder, along this road, there is not even a single quarrel.
But this is also good, to save trouble.
Xiang Nan is not interested in dealing with trivial matters.
…
While patrolling, I saw a fortune teller passing by with the guise of [Yin Yang and Five Elements, Ten Diagrams and Nine Spirits].
Seeing his appearance and attire, Xiang Nan's eyes lit up, and he knew that this was Baimei. Pretending to be able to tell a fortune teller and look at a fortune teller is actually a lie.
But Xiang Nan didn't want to arrest him, because he was the one who arranged the marriage between Xiucai and Xiao Guo.
Xiang Nan has always felt guilty towards Guo Furong. He not only lied to his Jingtao Palm, but also lied to his true feelings. If Xiucai and Xiao Guo can't be together in this life, he won't forgive himself.
"Okay." Yan Xiaoliu nodded, and immediately went to Dongjie.
Xiang Nan stepped forward, crossed his knife, and stopped Baimei, "Stop!"
Bai Mei was shocked when he saw that Xiang Nan was wearing official clothes.
After all, he is guilty of being a thief. He has used fortune-telling to look at faces all these years, playing tricks and deceiving people.
So when I saw Xiang Nan now, I was naturally very scared. I'm afraid that the previous case was committed, and the government is here to arrest him.
"My lord... you... what are you doing, the old man didn't... didn't commit a crime." Bai Mei was so frightened that his mouth trembled.
"You know what's wrong with you." Xiang Nan sneered, "But don't worry, I'm not looking for you to catch you."
"What is that for?" Bai Mei asked in surprise.
"I have something for you to do. If you do it well, I will reward you a lot." Xiang Nan said immediately.
"My lord, I don't know anything except fortune-telling and fortune-telling. You should find someone else." Bai Mei quickly declined after hearing this.
"I just want you to tell the fortune teller." Xiang Nan nodded, "Come with me!" After saying that, he dragged him to the bridge at the entrance of the town.
…
"Wait, you go to Tongfu Inn and help the people there to tell fortunes." Xiang Nan pointed out, "I will tell you everyone's name and characteristics, and you will memorize them firmly, and you will never make mistakes."
After finishing speaking, he told him the basic situation of Lu Xiucai, Guo Furong, Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang, and Mo Xiaobei. The appearance characteristics of these five people are very obvious, and they are very easy to distinguish.
Then he instructed, "If you want to calculate the result, Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang are a natural pair, and they are a natural pair. Lu Xiucai and Guo Furong are destined to be together in this life."
"My lord, do you want to..." Bai Mei asked puzzled.
"I am accumulating virtue for you." Xiang Nan said, "You do what I say, and I will reward you with an ingot later. If you mess up, I will let you stay in prison for a few days first, and check your cheating The matter of abducting and seducing women from good families."
"My lord, you are wronged." Bai Mei was startled when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I have never done those things."
He didn't expect Xiang Nan to know about his affairs, which really scared his soul away.
"Whether wronged or not, you understand in your heart." Xiang Nan sneered, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"
"I remember clearly." Bai Mei said quickly.
"Repeat it again." Xiang Nan ordered.
Bai Mei is indeed an old liar who has been fighting for a long time, and his memory is still good, so he immediately repeated what Xiang Nan said just now.
"Well, it's okay, let's go." Xiang Nan nodded.
Bai Mei nodded quickly when he heard this.
"Wait a minute." Xiang Nan suddenly stopped him again.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Bai Mei was startled, and hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
"I forgot to remind you that those two ladies are all skilled in martial arts. Don't be tempted to look at them because they are beautiful, or you will not be wronged if they are deposed." Xiang Nan said again.
Hearing this, Baimei swallowed hard, thinking to himself what this is called.
Wanted to run away, but Xiang Nan followed behind, staring at him without blinking, staring at him until his heart was terrified.
In desperation, he had no choice but to obey orders obediently.
