Xie Ling had a calm expression and let him look at her.
The more Shopkeeper Chen looked at it, the more it resembled the real thing, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You you you...you are——"
Xie Ling interrupted him.
"It's me, Xie Ling."
Among the first batch of soldiers and civilians in Sinan, everyone knew Xie Ling.
It is like a savior, providing them with warm clothes, enough food and a home to rely on.
Shopkeeper Chen's nose felt sore and his eyes instantly became moist.
The woman in front of him was of noble character and cold temperament. One could tell at a glance that she was an outstanding person. She was most likely Xie Ling, otherwise she wouldn't know about Duo Ling's big pot.
Others may not know, but Shopkeeper Chen knows it very well.
Ling Daguo, including Lingwei Tea at the end of the street, and even the exquisite colored glass on the market - all are the property of their Lord Xie!
But even so, the always cautious shopkeeper Chen apologized, turned around, and quickly called a few elderly people from Sinan over.
This old man is not a real old man, but one of the first people in Sinan.
Because of the school, the first batch of people in Sinan were all literate, had broad horizons and were very loyal.
It is not comparable to ordinary people.
Therefore, most of the core tasks are done by them.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't say why, but he pulled the man and the woman into the private room.
"Uncle Chen, I'm sorting out the information."
"And me, I'm working on the accounting report, what do you want with us..."
The two's words were shattered the moment they saw Xie Ling.
Especially the woman, she could hardly control her facial expression and tears flowed down in an instant.
"Thank you, Master—"
This woman is exactly Doukou.
The little girl that Xie Ling rescued back then has now grown into a graceful young lady.
The young man next to him also looked excited.
Xie Zhubo also taught him mathematics!
If it weren't for Xie Zhubo, he would now be an old farmer living in the mountains and fields. How could he have the opportunity to display his talents?
He suppressed his inner excitement and bowed gracefully.
"My name is Lichuan, nice to meet you, Mr. Xie."
Xie Ling was also surprised.
"Doukou? Why are you here? With your ability, you have a better future in assisting Gu Wei."
Doukou's eyes were misty with tears. "I wanted to protect Master Gao's property, so I followed Master Gao and helped him manage the property. Now I manage the intelligence network in Kyoto."
The term "intelligence network" was coined when Xie Ling was there.
Xie Ling's eyes lit up.
"Great, I need this right now, Douku, listen to me——"
Everyone in the private room was their own people, so Xie Ling did not avoid them.
Li Chuan, on the other hand, was cautious and went out to guard the door.
Shopkeeper Chen was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Fearing that he would lose his composure in front of Xie Ling, he followed her out.
Xie Ling spoke briefly and to the point, explaining the purpose of her visit.
Doukou shed her little girlish look and became calm and solemn.
After the two finished talking, Doukou stroked his chin and thought, "My lord, you need Lao Zhang this time."
Xie Ling didn't know who the Lao Zhang she was talking about was.
When Doukou disguised herself as a flower girl and took Xie Ling to the teahouse, Xie Ling finally came to her senses.
Damn, why didn't she say she was one of us earlier? She still had to lie in ambush for several days.
Doukou had changed her clothes at this time.
She was wearing a short jacket made of coarse linen, her black hair was wrapped in a blue cloth, and her clear eyes revealed a bit of cunning. She was really no different from the girl selling flowers on the street.
Xie Ling ordered a cup of tea and sat casually.
While talking about selling flowers, Doukou moved closer to Zhang Minyan who was surrounded by the crowd.
Zhang Minyan lazily pulled out a lotus flower and asked the servant to give money to Doukou.
Doukou thanked him happily and sold some more goods before leaving.
Xie Ling left when she saw that it was about time.
Doukou was already waiting for her. At this time, she had changed into a new outfit.
Xie Ling was a little surprised, "That Zhang Minyan is actually one of ours?"
There was some pride in Doukou's eyes.
"That teahouse is all ours!"
After saying this, he blinked again and said, "This is all arranged by the lord. It seems that the lord is really far-sighted."
Xie Ling smacked her lips.
“Are there such institutions everywhere?”
Doukou replied, "As long as there is a hot pot restaurant, there are. The lord said that industry is a chain. Since we have released people here, why not set up an intelligence network at the same time?"
Xie Ling nodded slightly.
I thought to myself, the one who understands me best is Shi Jin!
At night, in Doukou's yard, Xie Ling finally met the person she had tried so hard to get close to before.
Zhang Minyan came in waving a folding fan.
"Xiaodoukou, what's the matter this time?"
Doukou spat, "Don't be so joking, I have something important to talk to you about today..."
Zhang Minyan's frivolous look faded slightly, and he sat down. While drinking tea, he looked at the cold woman sitting next to him with a somewhat cautious expression.
"Who is this beauty?"
Doukou introduced: "Your master's wife."
The tea in Zhang Minyan's mouth almost spurted out, his eyes widened, "What?!"
After some explanation.
Only then did Xie Ling realize that Zhang Minyan was Gu Wei's man.
To be more precise, it was someone from Tingxue Tower.
Tingxue Tower has its own intelligence agency.
It took a year or two of adjustment before the people from Sinan and Tingxue Tower were arranged together.
Of course Xie Ling can trust Gu Wei's people.
He immediately said, "I need a favor, sir."
Zhang Minyan felt extremely uneasy about the word "sir", and when he thought of the teasing words he had just said, he wished he could cut off his tongue.
He quickly said respectfully, "Madam, please feel free to speak."
