The middle-aged Confucian stood up, raised his hands and asked cautiously: "Where is this place? I am a poor man with little wealth, and my body is not strong..."

Us's shiny black face showed embarrassment, "Uh... this is Guangzhou City. Sir, I have seen it. We Yue people are all rough and illiterate. The accounts made by someone are like a mess. I was in Jianye a few days ago.

It sounds like you are a great talent in returning goods, so I invited you back to be my accountant..."

Guangzhou City in Jiaozhou? Is it thousands of miles away from Jianye?

The middle-aged Confucian scholar couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Is this how you Yue people invite people? You arrived here without even saying hello to your wife and children.

Thinking of his wife, children and mother at home, how will they survive in the future without going out to work? The middle-aged Confucian suddenly felt sad, and he plucked up the courage to shout loudly: "You thieves kidnapped good people in broad daylight, are you not afraid of me reporting it to the government?"

"

"But the government office where your husband works is in Jiangdong, and this is Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away. You haven't been naturalized yet..." Wushei asked innocently.

Wushei's meaning is very clear. Your household registration is in Sun Quan's Jianye, and this is Boss Lan's Guangzhou city. Who can believe it when a gangster complains?

After hearing this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar burst into tears, then sat cross-legged on the ground and beat his chest and feet. He kept pleading to Wushei: "Shopkeeper, please send me back to Jiangdong. My wife, children and mother are still starving in Jianye."

Woolen cloth."

Wushei was startled when he heard this. Why didn't he kidnap this guy's family when his followers were not keeping secrets? But that would be too big a target to hide.

"Mr. Zhao, please stop crying. You may wake up the neighbors so late. Anyway, I am working as a bookkeeper in Jianye. How about I give you three times the salary?" Ushei advised.

"Three times?" The middle-aged scholar's eyes widened.

"Isn't it enough? Then five times." Wushei was very proud.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar swallowed his saliva. He didn't know if the Yue people were stupid because they had a lot of money, but if they had money, they could really do whatever they wanted, because at this moment, he was a little tempted, but thinking of his wife, children, and mother at home, he didn't agree happily in the end.

"Uh... I'll think about it, but my wife, children, mother..."

dong dong dong

The door panel of Shuiyue Trading Company was slapped and made a sound, which frightened Mr. Zhao, who had come from afar, to tremble.

Wushei knew that Lantian had arrived. He looked at the door and pretended to be panicked, and then hurriedly warned: "It must be that the lights have not been turned off for a long time, which attracted the patrol soldiers from the nearby sentry box. Don't say anything for a while, otherwise you will be regarded as

The spies captured him."

"Oh..." Mr. Zhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wushei signaled his entourage to open the door. Pang De, a round-faced and burly man from Xiliang, walked in first, followed by the shorter Lan Tian. Gao Shun followed Lan Tian into the business. His majestic and tall figure was extraordinary.

fear.

The two Yue followers were eclipsed in front of Pang De and Gao Shun. As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw this formation, he knew that they were coming.

Wushei stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked, "What are the generals doing?"

Pound glanced around the hall, and then said solemnly: "My general received a report from a nearby post that after the trading area closed in the afternoon, strangers appeared around these trading houses. To prevent spies from causing trouble, I came here at night to investigate."

"Our Shuiyue Trading Company abides by the law and will never harbor irrelevant persons." As Wushei spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over.

Pang De angrily shouted: "What are you doing? Want to bribe me?"

Wushei was startled when he heard this, "No...that's not what I meant. The general came to inspect the hard work at night, and he just wanted to comfort everyone with a drink..."

"We have a salary to eat and drink." Pang De snorted and suddenly stared at the middle-aged Confucian scholar. He took two steps forward and raised his head and asked: "This man looks very unfamiliar, and he doesn't look like a Yue at all. He

Could it be someone from Shuiyue Trading Company?"

"He is our new Han accountant. How can we understand the accounting books..." Wushei explained as he held up his hands.

Pound pointed at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and asked: "What is your name?"

"His surname is Zhao..."

"Did I ask you a question?"

Before Wushei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Pang De with a loud shout.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Pang De in fear. At this moment, he was still very confused about whether to 'betray' Wushei, because even if the Yue shopkeeper was exposed, he might not be punished much, and he might be arrested and imprisoned for his careful work, so he finally

I chose to help hide it.

"Caomin Zhao Shuang."

"Where is your family name?"

"Uh... native of Jiaozhou..."

After Pang De asked, he turned and looked at Lan Tian. Lan Tian waved his hand and said, "Ling Ming, take them out first. I want to talk to Mr. Zhao alone."

"Wei." Pang De accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Under Pang De's gaze, Wushei and his two followers reluctantly left the trading house. Before leaving, Wushei nodded and looked at Zhao Shuang, meaning that the secret must not be revealed.

After a few people left, Gao Shun closed the door of Shuiyue Trading Company, and then brought Lan Tian a bench to sit on.

"Tell me, who are you? Where are you from? What do you want to do in Guangzhou?"

Lan Tian lifted up his hem and crossed his legs. Zhao Shuang was stunned by his barrage of questions. Who was this person? Did he find out that he was lying so quickly?

"Zhao Shuang, a grassroots man, whose courtesy name is Junqing, is from Jiaozhou... a person from Jiaozhou and Nanhai, I am really the accountant of this business..." Zhao Shuang lowered his head and returned.

Lan Tian saw that this man was dressed simply, and since he had a nickname, he couldn't be a real Guizhou leader. At least he was a poor boy from a poor family. He clasped his hands on his chest and smiled meaningfully: "Do you know who I am?"

"The common people don't dare to guess, and they can't guess..."

Zhao Shuang had already seen that Lan Tian was not simple, and the two burly soldiers obeyed his orders.

Lan Tian looked down at Zhao Shuang and said leisurely: "How can one be called a commoner if he can express his name? I know all the treasures of the gentry in Jiaozhou, a poor family, but there is no one named Zhao. Are you really unwilling to tell the truth?"

"So many family treasures?" Zhao Shuang showed an expression of disbelief.

"Because I am Jiaozhou Mu Lantian, Lan Ziyu."

"You...you are the owl..."

Zhao Shuang, who originally bowed to answer, was frightened and took two steps back. The word owl is not a good word to praise people. The name Lantian is often mentioned by people in Jiangdong, but it is basically a negative comment.

Lan Tian was not angry at all. He continued with a pleasant look: "You want to say owl, right? I know it was Sun Quan who started it. He suffered a lot at my hands. It's right to be a little bit resentful, but how can I put it?

Not as famous as Zhang Liao, right?"

"Uh...yes..." Zhao Shuang lowered his head and agreed. After all, Zhang Liao could stop crying.

"Speak carefully and I will forgive you."

Lan Tian still doesn't know what this person is capable of. If Hu Ke comes all the way to get himself a bookkeeper, he won't be able to open a financial improvement class. That would be a big step.

Zhao Shuang knew he couldn't keep it secret anymore, so he handed over his hands and replied: "Common people... I am from Moling, Jiangdong, and I used to be the accountant of the Zhu family in Jianye. One day after the year, I asked the shopkeeper for leave to study "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" at home.
