He Ping, who looks like a young man in a white family, looks really good. He has a pretty face, a straight facial features, and a gentle look. He also has a gentle and elegant appearance. He is the kind of appearance that can make people feel good at first sight when they meet.

In fact, He Ping's current appearance is somewhat subtle different from the eldest son of the He family in Sui'an City. This is the result of slightly modified with disguise skills. Except for people who are extremely close, outsiders will definitely not associate him with He Ping in Sui'an City.

"Young man, please be polite,"

The Qingshan Guest bowed with fists and said solemnly: "We have many women and children in our ranks, and it's getting late. After nightfall, there are many wild animals and bandits on this road. We just hope to borrow a few horses and walk together, so there is no need for a carriage."

This man seemed to be a servant from the government, and his attitude was quite sincere. He just hoped that He Ping's convoy could lend a few spare horses. For example, a few pack horses and mules in the team were free to be used for spare. The Qingshanke only hoped to borrow a few so that the horse could keep up with the convoy.

"It's okay."

He waved his hand.

"There is no one in this carriage. Your business is full of family books. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to ride on the carriage... As for me, it happened that the carriage was tired and was just riding a horse and was blowing the wind."

Master He showed his master's attitude, and with just a moment of greeting, Qi Baiyi quickly brought a horse, and he rode on his own.

The Qingshan Guest smiled bitterly, and the other party invited the invitation with great affection, as if he had never thought he would be rejected. How could he not allow him to be rude? The man bowed again.

"It is hard to refuse the kindness, so I can only thank you first."

“No need to be polite.”

He Ping held the horse whip in his hand and smiled and said, "Please please!"

The Qingshanke no longer refused, so he sent the two young women around him, and three children onto the carriage. He asked Qi Baiyi to bring another horse and turned over and stepped onto the saddle with neat movements.

The convoy started to move forward again, He Ping smiled and pulled the reins, walking with the blue-shirted guest.

"I have a surname of Mi, and I have a single name of good character. I would like to ask you your surname."

He Ping reported a new name, and he called himself "Mi Liang", not to tease Qingshanke, but to his newly acquired identity, this Mi Liang.

"Where is the only cheap name, but the noble one is still there?" Qingshan Guest replied politely: "I have the surname He and his name are Zhongheng. I am a local person. I took my family out of the county town today. I came here to worship a deceased friend. I didn't expect the carriage to break down halfway, so I could only bother the young master."

"It's a fate to meet on the roadside. Brother He doesn't have to be so polite."

He Ping smiled calmly and said slowly: "I think Brother He is handsome and has extraordinary temperament. He should be a member of the public. I wonder if I guess right?"

"this……"

The green shirt guest He Zhongheng touched his face, and he looked at He Ping with some confusion.

"How did Mr. Mi guess it?"

He Ping smiled at him slightly.

"I often see Brother He's fast boots on the feet of a county jail in Yuntai County, and I think it's the same style."

He Zhongheng looked at the soap shoes on his feet, couldn't help but touch his face, and laughed.

Next, the two continued to chat very well and had a great time.

After half an hour of carriage, the county government's constable He Zhongheng also learned from the "Mi Liang" Mr. Mi that he was not a local. His ancestral home was located in Yuntai County, Xihe Prefecture, within the pass. The Mi family was a famous family in Yuntai County. He had two Jinshis and several Juren from his ancestors. He was also considered a scholarly family and a family of officials.

When it came to Mi Liang's grandfather's generation, he wanted to go to school and went to Beijing to take the exam many times, but failed many times. After returning home, he thought hard, but he was unwilling to live in his hometown and sit in the empty mountain with his own ancestral property.

His grandfather became ruthless and left the house to learn to do business.

Mi Liang's grandfather started doing business and used fur goods as a business. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, and his industries also became more and more. From the initial fur business such as fur and marten, he developed to raw medicines such as Laoshan ginseng and deer antler, and wood minerals in the mountains...

The Mi family changed from officialdom to business, and the business was booming. When it came to Mi Liang's father's generation, his father also followed his grandfather to do business.

Later, my grandfather and father died one after another. With the long-term industry outside the pass and the accumulation of two generations, the Mi family had few industries, but the population within the clan declined, leaving only him, the only one remaining.

"I recently had a flood in my ancestral home, and the county town suffered a disaster. When my family's business expanded, there were several shops in Longhe County. I heard that the people said that the neighboring pass outside the pass was connected to the main pass outside the pass, and it was a good place for business. This time, I went to the pass from outside the pass, and planned to bring my subordinates here to open a few shops again."

"Mi Liang" smiled and told He Zhongheng why he came to this Longhe County.

It turns out that Beiguan Road has been regarded as a bitter and cold place by the Central Plains for a long time. It is vast and sparsely populated, and most of it is untapped wild mountains and forests.

It is just because of the frequent turmoil in the Dongli period, Nanling and drought and flood disasters in recent years, which caused a large number of people to pour out from within the pass. Over time, the number of people outside the pass gradually increased, and business transactions increased.

Furthermore, Beiguan Road is also a window area connecting the vast area of ​​the northern desert. In addition to the Tiel people living here, there are also Nidu Suoguo, Dangxiang people, and Rouran tribes. Some of these foreign tribes also have business dealings with the pass.

Because the mainland tea cloth is very short of the northern desert outside the pass, the fur medicinal materials outside the pass also entered the pass. This time, it brought great business opportunities.

After hearing this, He Zhongheng frowned slightly. He seemed to have thought for a while before he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Mi, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"What does Brother He have to say, but it's okay?"

He Ping smiled and said, "You and I will fall into this situation at first sight. If Brother He has any advice, I will naturally listen carefully."

"I dare not take the advice."

He Zhongheng sighed: "It's just that if Mr. Mi wants to go to Lenhe County to do business, it's probably not a good idea."

"Why did Brother He say that?"

He Ping asked resolutely.

"Authentic, this county is in a good geographical location. It is located on the central road. Because land is gradually rising, it can connect outside the pass, and the Li River, the Hanging River and even the water and land transportation of the pass are originally destined to be a prosperous place... Hey! It's a pity that the atmosphere here is not good, it's not right, and there are many evil people in the territory of Longhe County who are terrified and scoundrels. This group of people bully the market and do everything."

He Zhongheng sighed and glanced at him deeply.

"If the young master wants to do business in such a place, it may not be easy."

He Ping nodded.

——I understand, I understand, that is to say, the "simple folk customs" in Longhe County is comparable to Gotham, and the local people are also "hospitable"... It's just a pity that Brother He doesn't know:

I, He Ping, specially chose this place to gain a foothold again, and the convenience is what I wanted, and the fish and dragons were mixed with snakes and rats... Hehe, if it weren't for the infamous reputation in the years, would I be reluctant to come here?

The identity of "Mi Liang" that He Ping mentioned before was not casually fabricated. Three years ago, he asked someone to secretly take advantage of the situation and stole the identity of "Mi Liang" in Yuntai County, Xihe Prefecture, outside the pass.

The Mi family is indeed a prominent family in Yuntai County, but unfortunately the population is small and the tribe is not prosperous. The last descendant of the Mi family, the real Mi Liang, suffered from leprosy when he was over ten years old, and was later sent to the countryside by the loyal old servant of the Mi family to recuperate. He also said that Mr. Mi was studying abroad.

This loyal servant would do this because leprosy was called "the wind" at that time. People talked about the change of tigers, and it would only bring eyebrow when it was heard. Unexpectedly, the actions taken by this old servant for his son's reputation caused a change.

The Mi family was really unfortunate. Mi Liang was too ill and died a few years after suffering from the "drug wind". The old servant gradually lost his bones and died a year later. At this point, the Mi family's industry was in decline. Apart from a ancestral home, there was no thin property.

At this time, the secret information of the Mi family was learned by He Ping's subordinates, and He Ping ordered someone to sell the remaining slaves of the Mi family to play a trick of stealing the beatings and changing the pillars and moving flowers.

He Ping appeared directly as "Mi Liang", wearing bright and beautiful clothes and carrying a carriage carrying gold, silver and jewelry to Lenhe County. The slaves of the Mi family hurriedly went out to greet him and welcomed him, the eldest son of the Mi family, back to his ancestral home.

No one in Lenhe County has doubts, because since Mi Liang fell ill, he has avoided people's eyes and ears and ears and ears, and since his relatives and elders of the clan have passed away, no one can identify his true identity.

After He Ping became Mi Liang, he left because he went out to do business. He secretly arranged for his subordinates to poison several servants from the Mi family's ancestral home to kill him and replace him with a group of new people. After a while, he occupied the magpie's nest and took over the identity of the Mi family.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if I, a young master from a noble family, do not use my identity as a noble family, or if I don't make good use of my status as a young man..."

The He family was finished in Sui'an City. Most of the He family's residence and the industries in the city were destroyed by fire. Fortunately, He Ping had already set up various names for the accumulated cash and wealth in his family and quietly transferred them out, and he didn't have to worry about daily expenses in a short period of time.

However, it is not a good habit to keep this huge sum of money like this, and only leave but not enter. He Ping did not intend to sit in the empty mountain. He wanted to find a place to continue to manage his territory.

This time, he chose the place of Longhe County. Longhe County is located in Jinhe Prefecture, and Jinhe has several county towns, with Longhe County the richest. This place is geographically a key hub connecting the inner and outer gates. If he can control the source of wealth and connections here, it can be said to be of great benefit to him.

"There are three gangs and nine associations in Longhe County. They rely on their network of personal connections and are used to being rampant in the county. Outside the county town and outside the county, although land is gradually rising, there are many bandits in the nearby Mingfeng Mountain Range, which is also a huge hidden danger."

When He Zhongheng talked about these topics, his face turned gloomy, but his tone was a little slight.

"It's a pity that if the local government can bear the responsibilities of a parent, why would that be so?"

He Ping's eyes couldn't help but lit up when he heard his words.

This is interesting! As a member of the public, He Zhongheng is not a stingy person to say such words.

It is a taboo for people in the public to speak nonsense. Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that these words are sarcastic, but the tone is filled with the feeling of worries and anger, which can be seen.

"This person may be able to bring some usefulness to my next plan!"

He Ping had another idea in his mind.

Suddenly, there were a bunch of horses in the tree-lined avenue ahead, and it seemed that a large group of people were attacking in this direction.

"Oops!"

He Zhongheng's expression changed drastically, and the flag that the cavalrymen were holding was a skeleton black flag.

"This is the bandits in Qingjian Mountain. Damn it. This group of people dares to be open and rob money on the official road in the daytime?!"

"Qingjian Mountain... bandits?"

He Ping's eyes also swept towards the black flag running towards the official road.
Chapter completed!
