Chapter 93: Traveling is difficult, beating up the mountain god, Jin Chanzi?

Xilaile Inn.

In the spacious and bright lobby.

"Guest sir, those are the three."

The waiter who led the way pointed to a corner of the lobby and said.

Lu Fei looked up and saw three people in different clothes sitting in front of a clean Eight Immortals table in the corner.

A monk wearing yellow robes and a monk's hat;

A middle-aged man wearing smart clothes and leather armor on his upper body;

The last one was a scholar wearing a robe and looking a bit bookish.

“It’s really all walks of life”

Lu Fei complained in his mind, and followed the waiter up.

The waiter immediately pointed to Lu Fei and introduced the three of them: "This is the employer you are looking for."

"Met the employer."

The three people who received the notice immediately stood up and saluted Lu Fei, and they did not dare to neglect him because Lu Fei was a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"sit down."

Lu Fei motioned for the three of them to sit down, and then called to the waiter who was walking away: "Bring a pot of hot tea."

Regardless of whether he is a liar or not, Lu Fei can still afford a pot of tea.

"Okay."

The waiter immediately replied and walked away happily.

Lu Fei looked at the three of them at this time, and the three of them were also looking at the employer in front of them seriously.

They settled for two pieces of silver, that is, two taels of silver, just to get some news.

A dou of rice only costs five or six copper coins, and one tael of silver can be converted into a thousand copper coins, giving him a strong purchasing power to buy nearly two hundred dou of rice.

Two taels of silver is enough for a person to live in Yueyang Mansion for a year. If you save a little, you can live longer.

In this way, spending two taels of silver to inquire about a piece of news is definitely considered a lot of money and a luxury.

Faced with one year’s living expenses.

Who dares to neglect.

"Here comes tea"

At this time, the waiter brought a pot of hot tea and four teacups.

He picked up the hot tea poured by the waiter and took a sip.

Lu Fei looked at the three people in front of him and said, "You can take out the notices."

The three people answered and immediately took out a piece of paper from their arms.

Lu Fei took it and saw that it was the three notices he had posted yesterday, which read: Please give me the specific directions of "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain" and "Liusha River". Anyone who knows the information will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

Lu Fei, who already had a rough idea of ​​prices from Guyang Town, knew the value of two taels of silver.

Although the news about Fangcun Mountain and Liusha River is of higher value to him.

However, it is impossible for Lu Fei to set a higher price.

One is because I am afraid of too many scammers.

The second is that going too far is never enough.

Putting away the three notices, Lu Fei looked at the three of them and said, "You all know what I am looking for. As long as the location and direction I tell you are correct, there will be a reward."

The voice fell.

The three of them were originally a little tense, but the non-confrontational atmosphere suddenly improved a lot, and they all laughed.

Lu Fei then looked at the monk on his left and said, "Let's start with the master. I wonder if the master has any news for me."

"Don't dare to call yourself a master"

The monk in monk's robes and hat made a salute and then said: "The monk doesn't know about the Liusha River that the donor asked for, but he has heard about Fangcun Mountain. According to what the monk knows from the book, Fangcun Mountain should be right under your feet in Xiniuhezhou.

On the land, the monk does not know the exact location. I hope this news can be helpful to the donor."

I heard the monk finish.

Lu Fei was silent for a while, then he saluted the monk with his hands folded, and then said: "Xiniu Hezhou is so big that it is hard to find. I appreciate the kindness of the master, but I can't give you the silver reward."

The monk smiled and said: "I came here just to tell the donor the news. As for the silver reward, this cup of tea is enough."

After saying that, the monk took the hot tea and drank it in one gulp, then saluted and said, "Thank you, the donor, for your hospitality, and I'll say goodbye."

After the monk finished speaking, he turned around and left, quickly leaving the inn.

Lu Fei continued to look at the person opposite him, a middle-aged man wearing smart clothes, with thick calluses on his hands, and a badly worn leather armor on his upper body.

The man bowed his hands to Lu Fei and saluted. This is the etiquette of the world. Lu Fei thought to himself, and then he heard the middle-aged man say: "I don't know about Fangcun Mountain, but I have heard of the "Liusha River". At that time, I was in Kaiyuan

There is a river in the town called Liusha River. During festivals, there will be tourists taking boats to enjoy the river."

Listen to the middle-aged man say this.

Lu Fei had already dismissed the Liushahe in his mind.

It is a Liusha River eight hundred miles wide and ten thousand miles long. There is an inscription on it: "The boundary of eight hundred quicksands, the water depth of three thousand; the goose feathers cannot float, and the reeds sink to the bottom."

That was an absolutely dangerous and desperate situation that caused Buddhist monk Tang Monk to break his sword nine times. How could ordinary people sail a boat for fun?

When the man finished speaking.

Lu Fei then shook his head and said: "The Liusha River you mentioned is not the Liusha River I am looking for. I cannot give you the silver reward."

"Farewell."

The middle-aged man simply shook his head when he saw Lu Fei, drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and left the inn.

Lu Fei looked at the last young man on the right who was dressed as a scholar.

The scholar bowed and then said: "I know something about Fangcun Mountain and I have heard about Liusha River. I wonder if I know about these two places and this silver reward, can I ask for more?"

Looking at the scholar's demeanor, clothing, and tone of voice, Lu Fei sighed in his heart: "Another parallel importer."

But with a casual smile on his face, he said: "If you can tell me the specific directions of these two places, I will reward you with four taels of silver."

The scholar was very satisfied with this and then said: "Then listen carefully."

Ichiban started to read from some unknown book.

After Lu Fei had refilled three glasses of tea.

The young scholar finally finished reading.

Only then did Lu Fei realize that this guy not only wanted to defraud him of money, but also wanted to waste his time.

Because what he read out really included a sentence composed of Fangcun Mountain and Liusha River, just like one of the sentences "There are mud and sand that gather together to form a river, named "Liusha River"".

This really made Lu Fei a little dumbfounded.

The first monk also got the slightest idea, because he told that Fangcun Mountain is in Hezhou, Xiniu.

The second middle-aged man named the river with the same name.

This guy is clearly messing around.

Lu Fei didn't want to say anything more, and didn't even bother to maintain the most basic courtesy. He just waved his hand to him and sent him away.

When the three people at the Eight Immortals table in front of me finished walking.

Lu Fei decided to increase the number of notices from three to ten.

Casting a wider net will catch more scammers, but you also have a higher chance of encountering the real ones.

Next.

The next day, eight people came, three of them were liars;

But Lu Fei gave one of them half of the silver reward, one tael, because the other person told him some information he wanted, but it was not enough.

On the third day, ten people came, six of them were liars;

The rest only scratch the surface.

Lu Fei failed to reward the silver;

On the fourth day, ten people came, seven of whom were liars;

Until the seventh day.
