The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.
Chapter 84 Bao Inquire
Yun Yuke pondered for a moment, "Let me think about it. How about we inquire about the high-ranking officials in the Wuluo Kingdom who have recently been convicted?"
The Yuelai Inn looked quite busy, and it was almost dinnertime, so the lobby was nearly full. The waiter warmly ushered the two of them to a secluded spot in the lobby.
"Thank you both for your trouble. It's lunchtime and there are a lot of people here right now. We really don't have any private rooms available. I can tell you two are from out of town. Don't worry, we have food and drinks. It's up to you what you'd like to order."
The two casually chose some of their usual dishes, as there was no rush to gather information.
Cangnan Town is a small town in the southeast of Changgan City. It has emerged in recent years and has a large population. In addition, it is located at the junction of several districts, so from an administrative point of view, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the local garrison.
Yun Yuke and Yuan Chen had visited this market once before, about two or three years ago, when it was still an inconspicuous little town.
"The changes here are really fast, but that's normal. This town happens to be at the intersection of major transportation routes, making it particularly suitable for doing business." Yun Yuke looked at the surrounding environment and felt that the changes were enormous.
"Oh, sir, are you also here for trade? What kind of business do you run?" The waiter asked with a smile as he heard Yun Yuan and his companion talking while serving the dishes.
"Just a small business, nothing special," Yun Yuke said casually.
After the two had filled their stomachs a little, the waiter came over.
"Gentlemen, how do you like our dishes? You two seem to be new faces. Are you here in Cangnan on business? Then you've come to the right place with our Yuelai Old Restaurant."
"Not bad, waiter, your wine is really strong." Yun Yuke replied with a smile, while Yuan Chen remained silent with his head down.
After all, Yuan Chen's alcohol tolerance was low and his drinking manners were also poor, so Yun Yuke finished the whole pot of wine by herself.
"Thank you both for your kind words. If you want to do business in Cangnan, just look for me, the waiter."
"Oh? What's your surname, young man?"
"Oh dear, I don't deserve your surname. Just call me Xiao He."
"Alright, Xiao He, what kind of news can you find out, you know-it-all?" Yun Yuke took out a silver ingot, about five taels, and quietly slipped it to the waiter.
"Oh, boss, you're so generous! Tell me, what information would you like to know?" Xiao He was probably used to doing this, so he didn't even blink, and with a wave of his hand, he stuffed the silver into his pocket.
"We're just business people, we don't care about information. We're new here, we don't know what to watch out for, so just tell us whatever you want?"
“Your casual attitude is too complicated, sir.” Xiao He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Since you are so straightforward, I won’t hide anything from you; in Cangnan, some of our guests who stay in the suburbs are the most difficult to serve, so if you can serve these people with their tools well, then everything will go smoothly for you.”
"Living permanently in the suburbs?"
"Well, it's hard for us to go into too much detail. Just know that the local bullies here are no ordinary snakes."
As Xiao He said this, he turned to the side and pointed to a table of guests in the center of the hall.
Those men made no attempt to conceal their identities; they were dressed in military uniforms, and at a glance, it was clear they were the local garrison.
The group of men were very open and uninhibited, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, acting quite imposing.
Xiao He lowered his head and said, "In short, be careful. They are very powerful. Although they don't usually cause trouble, if you make a mistake, those people are not to be trifled with."
Yun Yuke roughly understood the situation, nodded, and said nothing more, "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Er."
He took another piece of silver from the bag and handed it to Xiao He again, saying, "Here you go, brother. This news is very important. Is there any other news?"
"Oh, sir, you're too generous. I'll have to tell you everything I know."
After that, the waiter talked about the general situation of various shops in this small town of Cangnan like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and even mentioned whose tofu was sour and whose pickles were too salty.
Yun Yuke didn't stop her, since she knew she would definitely need this information if she came to Cangnan Town to do business in the future.
"...In Cangnan, you definitely shouldn't miss the specialties from the Kingdom of Wuluo. Putting aside everything else, if you want to buy the most authentic Wuluo specialties, there are a few Wuluo merchants in the south who sell the most authentic products. However, those Wuluo merchants are particularly united, so you have to be careful."
"Oh? Uro specialty products? That sounds good. We've seen some things in the city that claim to be from Uro, but none of them seemed particularly special."
"Then you've come to the right place." Xiao He spoke of these matters with a certain familiarity, as if he even knew something about the situation in Uro.
Yun Yuke lowered her head and thought for a moment before asking a question during the pause in her brother's speech.
"Hmm, I heard that things aren't very peaceful in Uro. They say their young emperor has ascended the throne, and the situation is unstable. I'm afraid there are fewer Uro specialties available now, and they might be harder to buy."
Xiao He smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry about that. I've inquired about it. Several Uro merchants doing business here have guarantees for their businesses back home. They can sell their goods smoothly without any problems."
Judging from what he said, he probably meant that these Uro merchants had connections in the court and were relatively stable in their business dealings.
“Oh, he has connections in the court.” Yun Yuke nodded.
"So, you don't need to worry about not being able to buy Uro's products," Xiao He said smugly, making a strong recommendation.
"Brother, you're saying all this, could it be that those Uro merchants asked you to promote their products in this hotel? You're working so hard to sell their goods."
Xiao He blushed slightly, "Hehe, this is just to earn some extra money to supplement the family income."
"Well, little brother, there is something I'd like to ask you again." Yun Yuke thought that was about enough, so she stopped beating around the bush.
“I did intend to do business in Uro. Since you have connections with merchants in Uro, do you know anything about the situation there? I heard that they have many rules and regulations, and I'm afraid of offending the big shots behind the scenes.”
“Oh, so that’s what you’re talking about. It’s a small matter, but I do know a little about it. Those Uro merchants who do business here are under the influence of Prime Minister Long of Uro. Prime Minister Long is extremely powerful, and these merchants made the right choice in choosing sides, which is why they’ve maintained their position abroad.”
Xiao He looked worried when he talked about this.
"If everyone were like that Lord Chi who was imprisoned, it would be terrible. Just two months ago, several merchant caravans under Lord Chi suffered considerable losses in order to save their master."
There's a chance! Yun Yuke and Yuan Chen exchanged a glance. They both realized that this must be the reason why those Uro merchants who were eager to sell their goods were rushing back to their country.
Having obtained the information, the two remained silent. However, this waiter, with his strong desire to express himself and having received so much money, naturally blurted it all out.
The two waited patiently until the waiter had finished speaking before interrupting his endless chatter.
It was already time to light the lamps, so the two of them decided to stay at the Yuelai Inn.
As a result, Yun Yuan and his companion were delayed for several days.
The date of their return to Changgan City was thus delayed.
Fortunately, the Yun residence has been relatively safe these past few days, and nothing has gone wrong. There's also been no movement from Liu Jie's side.
After Yun Yuke returned, Yun Qingjin immediately told her what she knew.
"Qingqing, you're very good. You heard the news in advance, and Yu Niang and Zhou'er, you didn't go out these past two days. It's my fault that I came back late."
"Mother, what should we do? Should we just let Aunt Hua and Sister Zhou'er hide every day?"
