Chapter 329 Luo Yuejin

Chapter 329 Luo Yuejin

"Topping."

Xu Lang said coldly, then turned over and dismounted.

After dismounting, he stretched out his arm and asked Li Xuan to follow his arm and stand on his shoulder.

"Feed good concentrate and add an egg to each horse."

The waiter who greeted the guests saw that Xu Lang and others were very impressive, so he agreed repeatedly. He quickly called on other people in the store to help lead the horses, and he led Xu Lang and others into the store.

The waiter went in and found a long table for them, then wiped the table and chairs clean and invited them to sit down.

When they had just settled down and before they had time to take a closer look at the inn, the waiter continued to greet them:

"Gentlemen, we have good beef and clear noodle soup in our store. I wonder what we will serve later?"

When Li Xuan heard the recipe reported by the waiter, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

But taking a quick look inside this inn, everything is bright and bright, and it doesn't look like a dark shop.

Moreover, it was almost noon, and there were quite a few people coming to make tips. It was so lively that they probably wouldn’t be doing those shameful things.

But Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little confused:

"Can I eat beef as much as I want in Daxing?"

Generally speaking, in this farming society, cattle are production tools. As the breeding industry is not developed, cattle should not be eaten casually.

Li Xuan estimated that the cattle sold by the waiter should be those that "died from illness and fell to death".

But the price of such beef should not be cheap.

He could often eat dishes made from beef in the palace, but outside the palace Li Xuan thought it was better to be more careful.

"I don't eat beef, I eat noodles."

Li Xuan wrote this on Xu Lang's face sincerely.

The waiter at the inn was surprised to see a black cat standing on Xu Lang's shoulder. Now that he saw Li Xuan sweeping Xu Lang's face with his tail, he just thought it was Xu Lang pampering the cat, but he couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but take another look at Li Xuan. Li Xuan was really handsome compared to ordinary cats.

The shiny fur, piercing eyes, and lazy demeanor make people unable to take their eyes away.

At this time, Xu Lang turned around and placed an order:

"Ten pounds of beef, six bowls of clear soup noodles."

"Also, call your shopkeeper."

The waiter was not surprised by the request to invite the shopkeeper. Instead, he muttered:

"Six bowls of clear noodle soup?"

Xu Lang immediately said an unhappy "Hmm", and the waiter immediately did not dare to ask any more questions and kept saying that he should go down and make arrangements.

Not long after, the innkeeper also came over.

"Guests, do you have any orders?"

What is a little surprising is that the innkeeper is a charming woman. She looks about thirty years old. Although her appearance is not that outstanding, her eyebrows are full of charm and she has a mature charm.

Her face, because of her pair of peach blossom eyes, added a lot of charm.

Moreover, the shopkeeper's tone of voice was also soft and waxy, which made people's ears feel slightly itchy.

But one could tell that the shopkeeper didn't do it on purpose, and was born with such a voice.

Unfortunately, the person present who was most interested in her was the cat Li Xuan.

The shopkeeper met Xu Lang's cold gaze and was immediately frightened.

She considers herself to be somewhat friendly. Most of the guests who come in and out of the inn, whether they are men or women, can talk to her nicely. On the contrary, she has to worry about those guests who like her too much.

And when they first met, it was the first time they met the shopkeeper who looked at him like Xu Lang.

But then, the shopkeeper's expression changed even more.

Xu Lang took out a six-door token from his arms, waved it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, and then took it back.

The shopkeeper immediately became honest and did not dare to think nonsense anymore. He immediately introduced himself:

"Several officials, the young lady Luo Yuejin is the shopkeeper of this Cross Slope Inn."

"I wonder what the officials have ordered?"

It could be heard that there was a lot of nervousness in Luo Yuejin's tone.

"Shopkeeper Luo, don't be nervous. You know about the robbery of Ping An Trading Company that happened a few days ago, right?"

Xu Lang took back the token and asked straight to the point.

Li Xuan stood on Xu Lang's shoulder and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect Xu Lang to have such an identity token.

That's right, they, the colorful eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, always have some apparent identity when they work as spies outside.

Ouchi's brand is too bluffing, far less effective than the six-door brand.

Li Xuan also knew for the first time that Daxing's criminal department also had six doors.

But he estimated that the six doors could not escape the reputation of the imperial eagle dog, and it was very consistent with the positioning of Xu Lang and others.

Luo Yuejin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xu Lang and others were here for this case, and then said familiarly:

"Oh, it turns out that several officials are here for this matter."

"In the past few days, the county government's police officers have come several times."

"Who would have thought that there would be people in this world who would dare to rob Ping An Trading Company's goods."

Luo Yuejin moved her butt as she spoke, then sat on the empty seat next to Xu Lang, and continued talking nonstop.

Xu Lang frowned in displeasure, but because Luo Yuejin was providing them with clues, he didn't get angry. He just moved aside calmly. Luo Yuejin, who was talking excitedly, Didn't find this.

"The officials don't know."

"It was so bloody that day that the cross slope in front of our door was dyed red."

"The gang of robbers were ruthless. They not only killed all the people in Ping An Trading Company, but also wiped out a few passers-by."

"If we hadn't closed the door early and couldn't get out, I'm afraid even we would have suffered."

Luo Yuejin had a scared expression on her face, and when she talked about the scene at that time, she was so vivid that she danced from time to time.

It seems that the robbery a few days ago was indeed a big event for her.

Listening to Luo Yuejin's description, Li Xuan and others also had a clearer understanding of the situation that day.

Logically speaking, the security force of Ping An Commercial Bank is not weak.

But according to Luo Yuejin's description, it was a one-sided situation that day, and the battle was resolved quickly.

Apart from the killings, there was not much noise during the fight.

Such a devastating battle showed that the robbers had a considerable strength advantage.

"Where did those robbers go after they robbed the goods?" Xu Lang asked.

"It left along the west intersection, but I heard from the officers who came to investigate in the past few days that the traces of the vehicle disappeared after ten miles away. It should have turned into the deep mountains and old forests."

Luo Yuejin saw Xu Lang showing the six-door sign before, so she told him everything.

Moreover, if Luo Yuejin knows these things, he probably has a good relationship with the local officials.

Xu Lang asked a few more questions, and Luo Yuejin told everything he knew. In the end, he understood almost everything, and then sent Luo Yuejin away, who was still a little unsatisfied.

"He is really a chatty chatterbox."

Li Xuan shook his head and couldn't help laughing when he looked at Luo Yuejin's back.

"This shopkeeper Luo is quite cute."

I just don't know why she, a woman, wants to be in the public eye and run this kind of inn business.

It is not uncommon for women to engage in business in Daxing, but there are relatively few doing this kind of inn business, or couples often open shops together, and it is rare for a woman to be the shopkeeper.

Because the inn's business is quite special, it has to deal with people from all over the world.

Therefore, if you don't have some excellent skills, you will be taken advantage of every day.

Li Xuan only had time to take a closer look at the inn at this time.

Inside the inn, the decoration style is very simple, with an air of pragmatism everywhere.

Good-looking doesn't mean it's very good-looking, and there aren't any good-looking decorations in the store.

Simple and plain, this is the style here.

But for an inn like this, business is actually very good.

At this time, the lobby on the first floor was full of high-end diners, not too many eating beef, most just clear soup noodles.

After eating the noodles, rest for a while and drink two cups of tea. It's much more comfortable than the tea stalls outside. At least the inn is surrounded by walls. Not only is the wind not blowing, but you don't have to taste the loess ingredients added by passers-by. .

At this time, Xu Lang, after finishing his question, asked Li Xuan:

"Sir, what do you think will happen next?"

Li Xuan also admired Xu Lang's respectful attitude towards him.

There probably aren't many people who can be so troublesome with a cat like him.

Moreover, after Xu Lang asked, he took the initiative to extend his palm to Li Xuan.

It seems that it means asking Li Xuan to write on his palm.

Li Xuan wrote on his face just now. Although Xu Lang didn't say anything, he still wanted to save face.

After all, there were four brothers looking at him as the team leader.

Li Xuan was not polite and wrote directly on Xu Lang's palm:

"The investigation will take care of itself, and I will only be responsible for assisting."

"If you can find some relevant evidence, I can help you track it."

Although finding traces is a dog's ability, Li Xuan's five senses are much stronger than those of ordinary cats because of his cultivation.

Even the specially trained royal hound might not be able to compete with Li Xuan.

And leave professional matters to professional people.

This is Li Xuan's first time out of the city to investigate a case. The emphasis is on participation, and the main work is best left to Xu Lang and others.

He guessed that Manager Shang asked him to participate in this matter just to increase his experience.

After all, although Li Xuan claimed to be Ouchi secret agent Ling Ling Miao, he had not received any professional training.

Follow Xu Lang and the others out to practice, and you can learn a lot about secret agents.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't come up with random ideas, Xu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, when he asked just now, he was really afraid that Li Xuan wanted to take over the command.

Although Xu Lang is nominally the team leader, Li Xuan's status is somewhat special.

Especially Zhao Feng's previous order made them put Li Xuan's safety first.

Xu Lang was already prepared. If Li Xuan wanted to take over the command, he would do a good job of admonishing him from the sidelines, and he would be able to handle the task well on the premise of having a good relationship with Li Xuan.

Xu Lang is a smart man, and he can still distinguish what is important and what is important.

If the errand is not done well, the worst case scenario is to send Li Xuan back and investigate again.

Even if he failed in the end, Xu Lang would admit it.

But he valued Li Xuan's relationship even more.

Know your own affairs.

Although Xu Lang is considered a newly promoted expert in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his previous training was mainly in martial arts, and there were no special arrangements for matters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In other words, Xu Lang was a combat talent before, not a management talent.

The last time he went out of the palace to protect Princess Ankang, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs hadn't sent out too many people at once, Xu Lang wouldn't have been able to get into the position of leader with his excellent skills.

But this time, Xu Lang was arranged to lead a team out of the palace to investigate the case.

This has never happened before.

Xu Lang himself knew very well that the last mission to protect Princess Ankang, he only completed it in an ordinary way, without any outstanding performance.

After all, it was just a guard mission, so there wasn't much opportunity for performance.

The few times he took action, he was always crushed.

Xu Lang felt that his best performance was probably his respectful attitude.

Therefore, at first, when Xu Lang was appointed as the leader of the investigation team out of the palace, he was still a little confused.

But when he saw Li Xuan walking with him, he knew that he had benefited from this man.

If it hadn't been for the last intersection, Xu Lang probably wouldn't have the chance he has today.

They, the colorful eunuchs who work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, know better than anyone that no matter how high their martial arts skills are, they are not as powerful as having the power.

Zhao Feng, the current director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is an example.

In the palace, such examples abound.

Experts who are rare in the outside world are the most common cabbage in the palace.

After all, the palace has the best conditions for cultivation.

Of course, if your strength reaches an ordinary level, you can naturally get rid of your status as a cabbage.

But that kind of difficulty is even more difficult than becoming the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xu Lang made up his mind now and hugged Li Xuan's thigh tightly.

Whether he can achieve success in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future depends entirely on Li Xuan.

Therefore, how could he not be attracted to Li Xuan.

More importantly, this cat is more humane than humans and is much stronger than those stupid officials in the palace.

Although the eunuchs in colorful clothes mainly work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they also know a lot about the affairs in the palace.

After all, they all came from young eunuchs.

Most of those eunuchs who have gained some power in the palace only engage in flattery and have no practical skills.

But these stupid things always like to show their presence, and when they command their subordinates, they are suffocating.

When things get messed up because of suffocating operations, the little eunuchs working under them have to take the blame, which is so embarrassing.

Even though these eunuchs sitting here are all prosperous now, none of them have experienced this kind of nonsense before.

I’ve never seen it but I’ve always heard of it.

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of interfering, Xu Lang let him handle it. He breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he also cheered up.

Without any worries, he naturally wanted to complete this errand and show his face well in front of Li Xuan and Zhao Feng.

You have to be strong in order to forge, and you have to show your abilities if you want to climb up.

He, Xu Lang, believed that he did not have the skills to flatter others, and his respectful attitude was already his limit.

Therefore, Xu Lang must show some results this time.

The other four eunuchs in colorful clothes looked at Xu Lang silently, waiting for his order.

"Eat first, listen to the news in the inn, and then go look for the last traces left by the robbers."

Xu Lang's train of thought followed the rules. Although there was nothing special about it, there were no omissions.

The other four eunuchs in colorful clothes nodded.

They follow orders and will not express their opinions at will.

While the few of them were waiting for their dishes, they listened to the conversations of the guests in the inn.

After listening for a while, they discovered that the center of these people's discussions turned out to be themselves.

But this is not to blame for their high profile. It is because Xu Lang and the others have a special temperament, and they also bring a black cat. They were whispering to Luo Yuejin from the inn just now, so they naturally attracted attention.

In addition, some people talked about them and brought the topic to the robbery of Ping An Trading Company that happened a few days ago.

But after all, it was all what Luo Yuejin had said before, there was nothing new.

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes they ordered.

There are only two items in total, beef and clear soup noodles.

The beef is braised, steaming hot as soon as it is served, and a salty flavor hits your nose.

The clear soup noodles are clear soup with little water, and only a few vegetable leaves are placed on top.

After all, it is an inn in the middle of nowhere, and the menu is not that rich, only these two items.

However, looking at the braised beef in front of him, Li Xuan couldn't help but swallow nervously.

It's hard for Li Xuan not to think too much about selling beef in an inn in the wilderness.

"Sir, you eat noodles."

Xu Lang brought Li Xuan's face to him, and Li Xuan jumped off Xu Lang's shoulders and stood on the table.

Xu Lang and the others had divided the noodles and were about to feast on the braised beef. Li Xuan couldn't help but stop Xu Lang and asked him:

“Is this beef really okay?”

Xu Lang was startled and immediately winked at several of his companions.

The others immediately stopped using their chopsticks and did not dare to act rashly.
