Chapter 460 Something is wrong

Main Street is the street with the largest flow of people in the county. The road is wide and most of the occasional merchants pass by here.

Logically speaking, all inns should be concentrated here, why is there only Yuelai Inn?

Xing Wu usually didn't pay attention to these issues, but now that Si Qing mentioned it, he realized something was wrong.

He looked at Yuelai Inn, then looked around, frowned and said, "No, I remember there are several restaurants nearby. Why are there only two or three left now?"

And it seems that business is not doing very well.

Si Qing looked around, his eyes fell on the Shiweiju Restaurant not far away, and he ran over with his short legs.

When they saw Si Qing running away, Xing Wu Si Zhengping and others hurriedly followed him.

The group of people all arrived at the door of Shiweiju Restaurant. The waiter, who was sitting leisurely at the table and taking a nap, heard the movement and opened his eyes to see six people coming to the door of his restaurant.

There was one of them who was wearing a yamen uniform. When he saw that he was from the yamen, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement.

Because County Magistrate Zhao was relatively clean as an official, the yamen had a good atmosphere, and yamen servants were not allowed to take credit when dining out or drinking, so the waiter at the shop was very enthusiastic when he saw Xing Wu.

He came up with a smile on his face and said: "My lord and some guests, please come in quickly. The shop has a nice room. Do you need it, my lord?"

"Come..." Xing Wu just started to speak, but was interrupted by Si Qing's soft voice: "We are not here to eat, but we just want to ask if there is an inn nearby that is close to the county government?"

The enthusiasm on the waiter's face instantly dissipated when he heard this.

Holding the rag on his shoulder with one hand, he didn't want to talk, but because of Xing Wu's identity, he could only say bitterly: "Isn't it the Yuelai Inn in front of me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper of Shiweiju came out of the backyard and saw Xing Wu hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands with him.

With a respectful look on his face, he said, "It's Mr. Xing who's here."

As he spoke, he glanced at Si Qing and the others, and saw several people, old and young, and three young women. He couldn't guess their identities for the moment, so he just smiled and nodded to a few of them.

"Shopkeeper Li, I remember that your restaurant's business used to be good. Why has it suddenly dropped so much recently?"

Although it is not the time to eat now, Shiweiju Restaurant, as a long-established restaurant in Yang County, has many regular customers. Even if it is not meal time, the business is not bad.

Why has business suddenly been so bleak recently?

Shopkeeper Li sighed after hearing Xing Wu's words: "Oh, Mr. Xing didn't know something. Our restaurant manager went to another restaurant, so..."

Xing Wu understood it instantly, and at the same time he was very surprised. Why did the head of Shiweiju go to another house so well?

However, this matter is Shiweiju's own business. If the shopkeeper doesn't talk about it, it's hard for Xing Wu to ask further questions.

Then he asked shopkeeper Li: "Does the shopkeeper know if there are any other inns besides Yuelai Inn that are closer to the county government?"

He lives in the county government house on weekdays and doesn't pay much attention to inns. He only knows about the Yuelai Inn when he comes and goes. Even most of the inns on South Street are told by his colleagues.

That's why I asked shopkeeper Li like Si Qing.

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while and said: "There is another one, there is Yunlai Inn five hundred meters ahead from here."

Xing Wu nodded and cupped his fists towards Shopkeeper Li: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper."

Then he took Si Qing out of Shiweiju and prepared to go straight to Yunlai Inn.

As soon as he left the gate, Si Qing turned around and ran to another restaurant. He said the same thing and asked if there were any other inns nearby besides Yuelai Inn.
