"In eight months, more than 200 new households have moved into Blackwater City. Most of them came from the northwest, and a small number came from abroad." On the northwest front, the Donghaoming rebels and the Yuan Army were fighting in full swing, and the civilians did not want to suffer.
It was a disaster, so he had to leave his hometown. "The qualifications you gave are foreign visitors, more than seven or eight people, who bought a house locally but did not register for citizenship. They seem to have nothing to do but are not short of money."
The limiting conditions given by He Lingchuan are already very specific.
"result?"
"There really is such a group of people who fit in very well." Situ Han ate a wonton, "These ten or so people really came here almost eight months ago. I don't know where their accent is from other places. They have lived in Baixi Inn for five years.
Six days, they were quite generous. I visited several times on duty at that time, and I have an impression. Later, they bought a big house in Blackwater City and lived there. They said they came here to do business, and even bought a carriage and horse stable, but the business
He did everything but failed to do anything, and he never tried to attract customers. Serious businessmen would starve to death after working so hard."
"What else do they usually do?"
"I usually stay in the house and seldom communicate with outsiders. I pay my taxes every six months on time and never default on them. Their leader's surname is Zhang Lianhai. He is very arrogant. He is used to looking at people with his nostrils. When he goes out, he has at least 100 people behind him.
Followed by three or four followers." Situ Han added, "The brothers of the city gate guards said that they often see them entering and leaving the north gate."
"In and out of the north gate?" He Lingchuan pondered, "Going north?"
"Yes, it took me a long time to come back." Situ Han said, "To the north is Hongya Road."
He Lingchuan smiled: "To the north is the Panlong Desert. Have they visited the Panlong Desert more frequently since the abnormality appeared in the Panlong Desert?"
"Yes, they just came back two days ago!" Situ Han winked, "Young Master, where do you think they bought the house?"
"Where?" He Lingchuan saw him smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Zhuo, could it be?"
"Yes, it is your former residence!"
When he saw He Lingchuan's eyes widening, he quickly changed his words: "Ah, bah, bah, bah, what did I say? My old home is your old home!"
He Lingchuan let out a long breath, feeling a little depressed.
It turns out that my hometown was occupied by this group of people.
When the He family moved to Xiazhou, they never thought about coming back, so they entrusted a special person to sell their local assets.
However, this also shows that these people have good aesthetics. After all, the layout and scenery of He's mansion were created by Mrs. Ying. It is a rare high-quality residence in Blackwater City.
He Lingchuan asked about other situations.
Even Situ Han can answer it.
He is half a local snake on Hongya Road and Heishui City, and both red and white people take advantage of it. If there is any trouble in the city, ordinary people will not notice it, and he already knows it.
"By the way, there were originally more than a dozen of them, but later on I don't know when many new faces appeared."
He Lingchuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you adding someone?"
"Then I'm not sure. My brothers and I have been going out a lot lately." Situ Han had his own business to attend to, so he couldn't keep an eye on this group of people all the time. At this point, he looked around and whispered.
, "Young Master, what you asked me to do has been completed."
"No one noticed?"
"How can we find this?" Situ Han said with a smile, "Have you ever seen a rumor that can be traced to its roots? Besides, Panlong Desert has always had strange phenomena. This is not considered spreading rumors, but it is just that there are so many people.
Say a few more words where necessary."
He is partly responsible for the rapid spread of strange things in Panlong Desert.
He Lingchuan patted his shoulder with satisfaction and gave him a banknote: "Well done! Bring some hard-earned money to the brothers for me."
After finishing the wontons and the big bowl of wide noodles, Situ Han wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going back to work. If you have anything to do, just ask me!" After that, he jumped up and rushed to pay the bill, and then left.
As soon as He Lingchuan walked back to the inn, the soul-catching mirror asked the owner: "Who do you want him to check when you write to this man named Situ?"
"People from Heavenly Palace."
"Ah?" Soul-Taking Mirror didn't expect to hear this word in the border town of Yuan Kingdom, "Tiangong?! We also have to deal with Tiangong here?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan squeezed it, "What are you afraid of? We are on the territory of the Kite Kingdom. The Tiangong Messenger does not have a home field advantage now."
Although the word "Heavenly Palace" is attached to it, these people are just outsiders now, and they will never be as arrogant as they were in Lingxu City. Could this stupid mirror be afraid of being beaten by them in Xushan?
Jing Jing said harshly: "I'm afraid of p, I just don't understand what they are here for!"
"They have been here for a long time." He Lingchuan entered the room and put up a barrier, and took a mirror to look around, "I have caused the Tianluo star to shine in the ruins of Qianxing City, in Baishaqiandu, and from Xushan Mountain.
The pot lid was snatched away, which one is not related to the Dafang Pot? God already knew that the Dafang Pot was hidden in the Panlong Desert, so of course he would send people to check it out, and he will not leave it for a while."
If the big square pot cannot be taken away, it will not prevent the Heavenly Palace from sending people to guard it.
"So the time is limited to eight months?" Soul Mirror thought for a while, "Huh? How do you know they will definitely buy a house here?"
"Can you bear to live in an inn for a few months?" How could he, a local coward, not know the quality of the inn in Heishui City?
It's bearable. It's just a mirror and can only follow its host's actions. It doesn't live anywhere, so what's there to bear?
He Lingchuan seemed to be able to hear its inner cry. He patted the mirror and said, "I have had many interactions with the people in Tiangong. They think they are superior to others and are never stingy in terms of food, clothing, and housing." Bai Ziqi returned to Lingxu from Baishazhen.
City, we have seen the scenes along the way, and Fushan is even worse than him. In Blackwater City, how can these Heavenly Palace messengers tolerate a small and cramped inn? "
Since we want to monitor the Panlong Desert for a long time, we must find a comfortable place to stay.
The funds allocated by the Heavenly Palace are sufficient, so how can the emissaries who go out be short of money? Therefore, it is not half-hearted to find a cover for doing business here. Local snakes can tell the clues at a glance.
Therefore, even if He Lingchuan had not been there in person, relying on his knowledge from previous interactions, he could remotely control Situ Han to find the people in Tiangong.
The mirror felt strange: "What are you doing with people from Tiangong?" If someone else did this kind of thing, wouldn't it be the most taboo thing for Tiangong?
"The stage is set." He Lingchuan said calmly, "How can this show not have their part?"
…
The next day, He Lingchuan took Qiu Hu and others to ride camels, went out through the north gate, and set foot on Hongya Road.
Since the purpose of this trip is to "evaluate the Hongya Trade Road", the work that needs to be done still needs to be done. He Lingchuan must first take Hu Qin and others to go to the Hongya Road for on-site observation, and then return to Heishui City for verification
