Chapter 179 Seeing the Paving Mat Again



"Hey? Is this the inn?" A seemingly ordinary man was walking towards the Nameless Inn.

He was wearing very ordinary clothes, just like every other pedestrian on the street, but if you look closely, you can find that there seems to be a little guilt in his eyes.

This is not his first time to visit in plain clothes, but it is definitely his first time to come to such a place.

An inn that looks ordinary on the surface.

This inn has never had any name in the world, everyone calls it the Nameless Inn, but if you think that the Nameless Inn is really nameless, then you are wrong.

The man walking here is named Wu Mingchuan, 23 years old, and is a member of the Jinyiwei.

...

In the eyes of most people, Jinyiwei is a good place to go. After all, it is a public unit with free food and accommodation, and monthly salary is paid on time.

Wu Chuan also thought so before he entered Jinyiwei. After all, he came from an ordinary family, and he had tried his best to enter Jinyiwei. He was definitely different from his colleagues with backgrounds.

But once he entered Jinyiwei, Wu Chuan suddenly found that the so-called Jinyiwei was a besieged city. People inside wanted to get out, and people outside wanted to get in.

Wu Chuan always felt out of tune with the people around him.

For example, it was like reporting the investigation of the owner of the Wuming Inn to his boss a few days ago.

Wu Chuan was sure that if any other Jinyiwei who was not his own came over, that person would not be able to hear the affection and curiosity towards the shopkeeper in his tone.

Moreover, he was not facing someone else at that time, but Hua Chaodu, who was known as the first eagle-dog of the court. At that time, Wu Chuan did not understand why he would express his admiration for the shopkeeper so naturally.

In front of everyone, he reported to Hua Chaodu about what the shopkeeper had done recently.

——Then he was sent to this place.

"Alas... So this is actually a disguised exile, right?" Wu Chuan sighed.

Although this place is also in Jiangnan, it is basically a remote place. The benefits of a rich place are not experienced much, and this place happens to be the eye of the storm of the entire Jianghu. If you are not careful, you will be dragged into it.

In fact, think about it, there is no way that the people in the court will be pleasing to the shopkeeper. After all, the court is concerned about maintaining the stability of the Jianghu, and the shopkeeper has always been too arbitrary in doing things.

Wu Chuan felt that he was so arrogant in front of his boss not long ago, probably because he was kicked in the head by a donkey, but now, he still wants to save it.

So he opened the letter in his hand, which was the thing that his superiors stuffed into him before he left, asking him to focus on investigating.

"First, find out why the owner of the Wuming Inn suddenly attacked me in an instant."

"Second, find out about the owner's past."

The handwriting on it was very powerful. Although Wu Chuan didn't know who wrote this letter, he had to say that this handwriting still caught his attention. However

, after seeing these two points clearly, Wu Chuan silently folded the letter and put it in his pocket.

It's over.

Just based on these two conditions, he might have to stay here until the end of time.

Ah, otherwise just buy a house nearby, maybe start a family here in the future.

The Wuming Inn is still open, but there are not many customers today. When Wu Chuan walked in, he saw the waiters in the inn were clearing up the dishes.

"Stay, stay at the inn!" Wu Chuan pretended to be very cool and shouted, but as soon as he said that, he found that his voice was actually a little trembling.

"Here he comes." A child who was clearing up the dishes came over and looked at him with his cute little face.

After seeing that the person coming was a cute child, Wu Chuan felt a little relieved.

What? There is such a cute child in Wuming Inn? It seems that there are not many reports about this. After all, it is just a child. Compared with Li Qi, Feng Xiruo and the like, he really has no presence.

"Help me get a room upstairs." Wu Chuan said to the child.

"Okay." The child turned around and shouted to the back, "Go to the room!"

Wu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the child, he put down his luggage, took a shower, and had lunch. Wu Chuan lay on the bed in a daze.

How to say it, he actually moved in so peacefully.

Of course, this is only the first step of the work, and there is still a long way to go.

But for now, everything seems to be going well.

Because the first step was too smooth, Wu Chuan was a little dazed, so that he had some unrealistic extravagant hopes in his heart.

Maybe, he will really find something useful and be able to return to the capital earlier?

In such extravagant hopes, Wu Chuan fell asleep slowly. In her dream, she had already known the secret of the shopkeeper and successfully embarked on the journey home.

...

"The new guest is a Jinyiwei."

Chu Changzui, who had just received Wu Chuan in the front with a well-behaved face and was mistakenly thought to be a cute child, said to the other waiters in the kitchen.

He looked nonchalant, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and crossed his legs.

"How did you know this?" An Huoshaxi asked curiously.

"It's simple. As long as you interact with that group of people more, you can easily see their identities." Chu Changzui said, "But this person is a little stupid. He always feels surprisingly stupid. No other Jinyiwei is as stupid as him."

"If this Jinyiwei is so stupid, and there is only one person, could it be that he was sent by Hua Jing?" Feng Xiruo suddenly said.

"It's possible. He will put some spies here anyway, even if it's just for the sake of showing it." Chu Changzui nodded.

The humble Jinyiwei who was still in his sleep didn't expect that the guests in the inn would call him a fool in just a few words.

"But it turned out to be someone sent by Hua Jing, so let's be quiet for a few days and give him some face so that he can report to his superiors." Li Qi finally made the decision.

"Okay!"

"Oh, this refrigerator is already so old, can I get a new one? Sometimes I don't even want to open it." Feng Qing complained as he stuffed things into the refrigerator.

This refrigerator is at least 15 years old. Although it looks good on the outside, the inside is already scarred.

It is filled with all kinds of items, such as the discounted milk that Feng Qing once bought, which should have expired by now, and the frozen chicken breast that he bought during his weight loss period, which should have been pressed to the bottom now.

If you have the time to carefully look through this refrigerator, you will find strong traces of time inside.

Here, shrimps that have been frozen for more than half a year are considered young. The dumplings that Feng Qing's mother brought her during the Chinese New Year last year are still at the bottom.

At that time, Feng Qing's mother filled a whole freezer with them. Although it did solve her urgent problem of lack of money, no one could bear to eat them all at once, so Feng Qing betrayed her mother and gave up the food that could not be stuffed into her stomach.

Because of the long years, the refrigeration temperature is low and the freezing temperature is high. There is often a layer of ice in the refrigerator, while the freezer is melted.

Feng Qing used the firewood stick that she just picked up at the back to gently knock on the ice in the refrigerator.

If this thing falls and hits someone's hand one day, it would be too exciting.

The small orange lamp was also wrapped in ice, emitting a strange and dim light.

"By the way, don't I want to exercise recently?" Feng Qing muttered softly, "Why don't we clean up this refrigerator first? Anyway, I'm free."

Feng Qing didn't want her employees to clean up before, and because of this, she deliberately pulled Li Qi, the calmest and most stable person in the store, over, and then moved the items in the refrigerator one by one with him, showing him the various zombie meats inside.

Then, Feng Qing found that the more she moved things out, the uglier the face of her capable general became.

Alas? Why is his face so pale? Feng Qing frowned slightly.

It felt like going to a haunted house in the middle of the night without a flashlight and playing a game of pen fairy by himself.

Feng Qing thought for a while and thought that the ancients really couldn't accept such novel things.

Nowadays, there are ice houses like this, but they are all built several meters underground to store ice for sale in the summer. It is unheard of to build an ice house on the ground.

Then, Feng Qing waved his hand in a particularly generous manner, "Forget it, you don't have to stare at me, go back first."

Li Qi's courage was smaller than Feng the shopkeeper had expected, but Feng Qing didn't care that much.

She thought that everyone has flaws, and apart from anything else, it is actually quite cute when a well-behaved guy like Li Qi occasionally shows such a timid expression...

ahem.

But this refrigerator will take a long time to clean up, it is too full. Feng Qing took it out little by little, but when he got half of it, he was suddenly slightly stunned.

"Hey, isn't this the box of ice cream I bought a long time ago?" Feng Qing's face showed an expression of discovering a new continent.

"It turns out that I only ate half of it! I put the rest of the half back."

"Then the remaining half will be my snack tonight, hehehe..."

Wu Chuan, who was sleeping in the backyard, just closed his eyes.

There were not many rooms in the inn, so he was arranged to stay in the backyard. There were not many people there, but because it was close to the kitchen, he could smell the fumes from cooking occasionally.

Wu Chuan liked it very much, after all, it was quiet.

He lay drowsy on the bed, half asleep and half awake, and he hardly knew where he was.

Just when he was halfway through his dream, he suddenly heard a strange sound from his ear.

The sound seemed to be from a girl.

- It was a creepy laugh.

Even in his sleep, Wu Chuan struggled in pain, his brows furrowed.

He heard the girl's voice repeating, "Great, you are here, great, I see you again..."

See...what again?

Wu Chuan couldn't rest in his sleep.

He always felt that he had a layer of dense goose bumps on his body.

What on earth did she see to make such a sound?
