The guard came back and reported, "The person has been dealt with."
Guo Shan sat back on his chair and threw the letter in his hand to him.
"Take a look."
The guard took it and hurriedly scanned it, and immediately exclaimed.
"Why do they need so much salt? After the incident in Qianzhou, didn't Cheng Chang say to stop temporarily?"
"Who knows?" Guo Shan snorted coldly and said: "We all know that the things Cheng Chang did are related to the war in the north. This is the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, so we killed the entire Cheng family. I didn't expect it. , they still came."
"How did they know?" the guard asked in confusion.
"What else could it be? It must be what Cheng Chang said before. He still drags us into trouble even if he's dead. What a bitch." Guo Shan cursed fiercely.
"I heard that the border is neither fighting nor retreating. It has been a stalemate for several months. Why do they suddenly come to ask for salt at this time?" the guard asked again.
"Most of them want to continue to make money. If there is no war, they will have nothing to make, so they want to add more firewood."
When the guards heard Guo Shan's analysis, they were secretly frightened. There might be a big battle to be fought, but these are not things that little people like them can worry about.
"Have the people sent to Yuelai Tower come back? This letter came suddenly and the request was so large. It's really strange." Guo Shan was too lazy to delve into the war at the border. Now he just wanted to deal with the things at hand.< /p>
"Already gone, probably on the way back." When the escort officer left just now, Guo Shan gave two orders, one was to silence him, and the other was to send someone to Yuelai Building to investigate first.
Yuelai Building and Guo Mansion are only separated by three streets, so it's very fast to go back and forth.
"Guanjia Town is already in turmoil right now. People coming from above should be more cautious, right? Are you suspecting something?"
"I always feel that this person came by chance. Although the seal is correct, why is it not the pattern of Qingzhou?" This is what Guo Shan is most puzzled about.
"Maybe the Cheng family's affairs made them wary, so they sent a strange face over." The guard analyzed.
The massacre of the Cheng family must not be suppressed. The news has already spread in Qingzhou and Jianzhou. Although it has not been confirmed who did it, it is reasonable for the organization behind Cheng Chang to have some scruples.
Guo Shan nodded and felt that the guard's analysis made sense. He picked up the letter again and felt a headache when he read the content.
The letter said: Three thousand catties of salt will be delivered to the north within fifteen days without any delay.
"Three thousand kilograms of salt, where will I find it for him in this moment and a half!"
The pirates who transported the goods are all dead, and Cheng Chang is gone. I don’t know how to find so much salt without any contact channels.
The meaning of the letter was that Guo Shan was asked to collect and deliver the salt himself. Isn't this simply embarrassing? But he didn't dare to refuse directly because if he couldn't do it, he was afraid that the lives of his whole family would be in danger. This was the only way.
Just discuss it with the people who come.
Guo Shan clenched his fists, feeling increasingly depressed. He was now waiting for the people sent to Yuelai Building to come back to see what the situation was before deciding.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a tall guard walked in.
"Reporting to the Supervisor, we have already gone to the Yuelai Building to check. There are indeed people resting in the innermost private room on the second floor."
"How many people are there?" Guo Shan asked hurriedly.
"I don't know the details. My subordinate was worried that he would be discovered if he got too close, but after a fight with the madam, she said that there was a businessman from out of town in the room."
Businessmen from out of town, this letter is probably true.
Guo Shan's face was filled with despair. If he had known this, he would never have done anything to the Cheng family.
"Can we go to a nearby salt farm and buy a batch to deal with it?" the guard gave a suggestion.
"Three thousand kilograms. You can't buy such a large amount from a salt merchant. If you buy official salt, don't you wait to be investigated? Are you a pig? And even if you get it all together, how will you transport it out? What route will you take?"<
/p>
Cheng Chang has always been arranging the private salt transportation. Only he knows the specific people and routes. How does Guo Shan know this?
Alas, I regret that I shouldn’t have wiped out the entire Cheng family, otherwise maybe someone in his family has some clues.
But now it's too late to say anything. The organization behind it has already come to the door. It seems that they have escaped.
"The people in the private room haven't left yet. They are probably waiting for you... Do you think we can go?"
Since the incident between the pirates and the Cheng family, patrols in Jianzhou and Qingzhou have become more frequent, and more manpower has been deployed.
Putting aside the matter of gathering so much salt, transportation is the biggest problem. This letter is like a reminder for Guo Shan. If he wants to save his life, he must go and see the person to clarify the current problems and maybe
A glimmer of hope.
"I must see you..." Guo Shan paced back and forth in the hall, and then ordered the guards. "Let the brothers change into civilian clothes and set off immediately!"
......
Yuelai Building, in the private room.
Zhao Jin was leaning against the window. People outside could not see his voice. He carefully observed the situation on the street outside the building. When he saw the person in charge giving him a signal, he immediately said to Chen Ping.
"Coming!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly, as he expected, and asked: "How many people are here?"
At this moment, there are still many horse-drawn carriages parked outside various restaurants, but the number of people on the road gradually decreases as time goes by.
I saw silhouettes quietly spreading out on the street. Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, if you look closely, you will find that each of them has sharp eyes and moves rhythmically. They are definitely specially trained and are not ordinary spectators.
Home Guard.
But all this was seen by the people hiding in the dark Jiulong Hall. Zhao Jin looked at the gesture of the hidden stake and replied.
"At least thirty people."
"It seems that Guo Shan has a lot of people he can mobilize! You all proceed as planned, I'll wait for him here." Chen Ping said solemnly, Zhao Jin and Luo Li looked at each other, turned around and disappeared into the private room. At this moment, a carriage appeared not far away.
The carriage was very simple, without any decoration, dark in color, and looked very low-key under the light.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of Yuelai Tower. A figure was helped out of the carriage and looked up.
I saw the window of the private room on the right side of the second floor was open, but I didn't see anyone inside. I didn't have time to think about it anymore and quickly entered the building.
Guo Shan went directly to the second floor and walked to the door of the private room. The door was closed tightly. He stood outside and listened to the door for a while. There was no sound inside, and it didn't look like there was anyone.
"It's right here, that's right." The guard lowered his voice and said, "There are our people on both sides, don't worry."
This is the first time Guo Shan has come into contact with the people in the organization behind Cheng Chang. It is impossible to say that he is not afraid. If he could not escape, he would definitely not appear here. Who knows what is waiting for him inside.
Guo Shan took a deep breath and then reached out to knock on the door.
Bang bang bang.
Chen Ping, who was sitting upright in the private room, was also very nervous. After all, this was the first time he had faced these people alone, and he was also a ruthless person who would destroy families at every turn.
He worked hard to adjust his breathing and make his expression calmer, and after a while he said to the door.
"Come in."
