: Showing off as a master

After the last event, Xiaobei's award-winning works were carefully brought back by Tong Xiangyu. She even spent a high price to build a bookshelf and placed it next to the hall to display these works. Some residents in the town were curious about Xiaobei's works and came to the inn to admire them.

It was a combination of circumstances that caused the inn's business to usher in a small upsurge, which kept everyone busy.

Zhang Chen finally took advantage of the fact that no new guests came into the room after the food was served, so he swooped out of the hall and went to the tea stall next to the inn to be lazy, ordered a bowl of tea and chatted with the stall owner, Lao Qin.

The two chatted about the recent gossip about the neighborhood in the town. Xiaomi, who was lying in the corner, came to the tea stall with interest. Zhang Chen looked at Xiaomi and joked:

"Xiaomi, why don't you beg for money and listen to gossip? Aren't you afraid of being hungry at night?"

Xiaomi smiled and said:

"I am a member of the Beggar Clan and I have my own rules. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, I have a day off and I will not beg."

Seeing Xiaomi's tough look, Lao Qin said in surprise:

"It's really surprising! Xiaomi, you still have such weird rules. What should you do if you don't have money to eat these two days? You can't go hungry for two days in a row."

Xiaomihun said nonchalantly:

"This rule is a matter of principle and cannot be changed, but I can eat more in the first two days and get over it."

Seeing Xiaomi's proud expression, Zhang Chen and Lao Qin looked at each other, knowing that he was not stupid and knew how to adapt. They both gave Xiaomi a thumbs up.

Zhang Chen pointed to the bench beside him and said to Lao Qin:

"Give Xiaomi a bowl of tea to moisten his throat. It's not good if the guy who is eating becomes mute."

Xiaomi thanked him and quickly sat on the bench to wait for the tea. Lao Qin looked at Xiaomi who acted quickly and helplessly shook his head and left to prepare the tea.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaomi and suddenly thought of the middle-aged beggar who sent him a message when he was in Jiangnan last time. According to the information he saw at the six gates, the beggar gang in this dynasty was not strong due to the stable political situation.

The gang's organizational system is the most extensive in the Ming Dynasty. After all, there will be beggars everywhere, and the beggar gang will absorb the power of those beggars to strengthen itself and improve the area.

After a while, Lao Qin brought the tea and handed it to Xiaomi, then sat on the other side and said:

"Hey! Xiaomi, do you know any inside information about the disappearance of the daughter of Chen Dahu in the next county over the past few days? There are rumors in the next county that it is a ghost who committed the crime."

Xiaomi waved his hand nonchalantly and said somewhat depressedly:

"I know that the ghost committing the crime is just a rumor. In fact, after the county government learned the news and investigated it, it was found that he disappeared after giving alms to a beggar in the Chenghuang Temple. He immediately contacted the elders of our gang. After investigation, it was found that he had no trace at all.

He's not a beggar, he's just a beggar pretending to be there and lurking there. This incident has already made the elders furious and vowed to the gang members below to find that guy. Just because of this guy, the credibility of our beggar gang has been greatly reduced."

Lao Qin did not expect that Xiaomi usually boasted that he was a four-bag disciple of the Beggar Clan, and everyone took it as a joke. Now that he could tell these inside stories, it was not something that ordinary people could find out.

Zhang Chen thought that the last official secret report mentioned that the suspect who was suspected of stealing women in Jiangnan recently moved to Guanzhong. There have been several cases of missing women. He hopes that the people below will pay close attention. The case in the next county should be related to him.

Can't escape the relationship.

Zhang Chen kept this matter deep in his heart and said with a smile:

"Then Xiaomi, you have to behave well. If you find that guy, you will definitely be able to level up a few more levels."

Xiaomi waved his hand and replied nonchalantly:

"It depends on your luck! That guy is easy to mess with. Miss Chen was not alone when she disappeared, but she also had several guards with her."

Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu hurried to the tea stall and looked around and said:

"There is murderous intent! Someone was talking about Miss Chen just now? Hurry up and call her truthfully."

Xiaomi looked at Xing Captou with a teasing smile and said:

"Captain Xing, we are just chatting, so there is no need to be so nervous!"

Xing Baotou also smiled awkwardly because he was a little sensitive. Zhang Chen looked at Xing Baotou and said:

"Uncle Xing, don't be so nervous. Isn't our town very safe now?"

Capt.

After Capt. Xing looked around the people in the room again, the rest of the people in the inn saw Capt. Xing's performance and quickly finished their work and came to Zhang Chen's side. Capt.

:

"There is a big case this time! Do you know about the disappearance case in the next county?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads as Mr. Xing told everyone about the case in the next county in detail, Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong hugged each other in fear. Seeing their performance, Zhang Chen held back his laughter and pulled them apart to signal Mr. Xing to continue.

Xing Baotou drank a bowl of tea to moisten his throat and continued:

"According to my guess, this thief is very likely to have fled to our county to commit crimes. I will patrol the streets with Xiaoliu and prepare to capture him. This is a big case."

Zhang Chen asked curiously: "Uncle Xing, do you have any evidence?"

Mr. Xing replied with a serious face: "Of course not! It all depends on my intuition."

Everyone was so intimidated by the "righteousness" on Mr. Xing's face that they fell off the table. After everyone sat down again, Yan Xiaoliu on the side said aggrievedly:

"Master! We patrol the streets every day and don't even see a single thief. We always talk about big cases, big cases. I've been here for a while and I haven't been involved in a single case."

Xing Baotou immediately slapped the table and said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Haven't we ever handled any major cases? Not to mention the recent murder case of the three major mafia families, we were the ones handling it. I remember that you were jumping up and down with joy at that time."

Yan Xiaoliu looked aggrieved when he heard this and said:

"It's not the first time I've been excited when I encountered a case, but the case wasn't done by us. It was done by Zhang Chen and Lao Bai. When we arrive, there will only be work to collect the bodies. I'm so excited."

Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up when he heard Yan Xiaoliu praise him, and he said with a smile:

"Xiao Liu, you really can't blame your master. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that he is too willing to do it but lacks the strength. You have to be considerate of your master. You must know that not everyone has our skills."

Everyone understood what Bai Zhantang meant and lowered their heads and laughed secretly. Xing Baotou also lowered his head to drink water with an embarrassed look on his face. Yan Xiaoliu gave up and pulled out the knife and said loudly, "You are not allowed to insult my master."

Bai Zhantang saw Yan Xiaoliu draw his sword and then saw his figure in official uniform slumped on the long table. When Xing Captou saw Yan Xiaoliu draw his sword for him, he was moved and said:

"Xiao Liu! I'm sorry, master. It's my master's fault. If he has good martial arts skills, how can he make you just walk on horseback? It's master's fault."

When Yan Xiaoliu heard this, he was also moved and hugged Xing Baotou and cried bitterly. However, they forgot that everyone around them was still looking at them. Seeing the master and apprentice holding each other's arms and crying, everyone scattered and left speechlessly.

It had been some time since Xing Captou had a heart-to-heart talk with Master Yan Xiaoliu, but Zhang Chen still couldn't help but laugh every time he thought of the situation at that time. After all, not everyone had the ability to make Xing Captou's face covered in snot. The two of them

When they parted, Capt. Xing screamed and quickly left the house. Yan Xiaoliu even left in an embarrassed and dejected manner. After that, Capt. Xing and the others have not visited the house recently.

Thanks for the support!
