Xu Sheng was waiting in front of a carriage outside a military camp.
Although as a rule, outside carriages and horses are not allowed to enter the military camp, and the carriage he is driving does not receive an exception, but because he is very familiar with most of the sergeants here, and because of the production and trade of their farms, the entire
The life of soldiers in the Biluoling area has improved greatly compared to before. Not to mention that the establishment of some towns has brought more shops and goods, the lively atmosphere in the towns alone is different from the calm before, making the sergeants feel normal
Serving in the military instead of being exiled with hard labor. Therefore, all the soldiers who saw him were very polite to him. Several generals who were familiar with him even chatted with him and brought him a few slices of honey chilled with well water.
melon.
Near noon, several generals and more than a dozen sergeants politely escorted Chen Feirong, who was elegant and wearing a lavender palace dress, out.
Immediately there were some stern scoldings in the distance. It turned out that it was the first time for many sergeants to see the legendary shopkeeper Da Dexiang. Some sergeants were stunned when they saw the goddess-like beauty and forgot what they were doing.
This incident aroused scolding from the non-commissioned officers and the colonel.
Chen Feirong saluted and said goodbye to the escorting generals and sergeants. After getting on Xu Sheng's carriage, there was a sound of horse hooves, and a neat row of light-armored cavalry followed behind the carriage.
"What happened?"
Xu Sheng asked Chen Feirong in the carriage in a solemn voice.
Ever since he came to Biluoling, he has been the person in charge of Da Dexiang in the entire Biluoling area. Normally, if the military or various bureaucracies in Bishui Province want to discuss anything with Da Dexiang, he only needs to come forward.
However, when the military came to report today, they specified that Chen Feirong was going there, and there was a cavalry army of several hundred people following him, which naturally made him feel a little unusual.
Chen Feirong whispered: "Su Youji's convoy was robbed and killed on Shanyang Road."
"Su Youji? The convoy was robbed and killed?" Xu Sheng's expression changed slightly, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
"No one survived." Chen Feirong looked at his slightly stiff back, nodded, and said softly and calmly: "No one survived... This fleet was led by Xue Jingyin, the third shopkeeper of Su Youji, and there were two hundred and thirty in total.
The two of them, Xue Jingyin, entered Biluo Mausoleum with the intention of going to Tianluo Province to open up a farm and discuss follow-up matters with the Governor-General of Tianluo Province."
Hearing the number of two hundred and thirty-two people, Xu Sheng's eyes were filled with shock, "Shanyang Road, even the Western Regions bandits cannot penetrate into areas like Shanyang Road... Su Youji opened the Tianluo Province
Farm, we didn’t know this before, this is aimed at our Da Dexiang. Our relationship with the provincial governor of Bishui Province is better than that of Tianluo Province. If they go to Tianluo Province, it will have a big impact on our future layout.
The impact.”
Chen Feirong nodded, "What you said is correct. Su Youji is our main competitor of Da Dexiang, and this time he is targeting us... In Bishui Province, apart from the largest number of military personnel,
We, Dadexiang, have the most people, and only some of our farms and pastures in Dadexiang are the most suitable for hiding a large number of loaded carriages.”
Xu Sheng nodded, "So the Criminal Division and the military have some suspicions that it was our Da Dexiang who did it?"
Chen Feirong said softly: "I have some doubts. I just need to check the procedures. Otherwise, I won't worry about antagonism with our Da Dexiang. You have to ask me specifically to explain the situation first. After all, our Da Dexiang is doing legitimate business."
, it is impossible to do it so unscrupulously and boldly, after all, these are more than 230 human lives. No businessman can afford such a serious crime, and now the most important criminal justice department and the military are still confused about robbery and murder.
The intention of the people in the convoy. I remember that we originally had a convoy leaving the Bishui Province tomorrow. After returning later, we postponed it until the military investigated for a while. I also found it strange, if it was to rob food.
, the bandits who are short of food absolutely dare not go deep into such an area, but they are not trying to rob food, but only take property. Why would they take away all the convoys like that... It is too difficult and dangerous to cover up the traces of such a convoy.
Some."
Xu Sheng's brows furrowed sharply, and he pondered: "Could it be that the target itself is the horses and the carriage?... Could it be that they are doing black market business, or there are some shady things that have been accumulated in the past to be transported out of Biluoling, but if it is from Biluoling,
A large number of carriages have been transferred from Biluo Mausoleum, so it is easy for people to use these heavy-loaded carriages to trace the identity of the person who called the carriages?"
"My guess is similar to yours." Chen Feirong said calmly: "But to be able to kill so many people in Su Youji, and also be able to quickly move these vehicles away, so that the military cannot trace them for a while, must be very powerful. You must be very powerful.
It is still possible to mobilize a large number of carriages into Biluo Mausoleum without anyone discovering the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes... I think the most important thing is that this carriage is ready-made. Grabbing this carriage is better than mobilizing a large amount of load from other places.
It will be much faster if the carriage comes here. This seems to be a rush for time...to accomplish something big as soon as possible."
"If you want to seize time, it at least means that there are enough threatening opponents. These forces are beyond our control." Xu Sheng took a deep breath, turned around, glanced at Chen Feirong, and said.
"You are right, so I am worried about the safety of some of our convoys in Da Dexiang, so I can't afford to offend them, so I can only hide as much as possible first. I will request the military to search our farms and pastures in Da Dexiang today, and
Let the military send troops to protect places that I think may be dangerous." Chen Feirong suddenly smiled slightly and said: "But there are still some dangerous things... So I'm afraid we must let Mr. Lin know and let him arrange help.
."
"Inform Mr. Lin?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but pause in breathing, and his hands were slightly cold. He knew very well that he and Chen Feirong also wanted to see Lin Xi again, but he knew even more that Chen Feirong was very measured in what she did. If it wasn't true,
He would never trouble Lin Xi if he couldn't handle the crisis. "Is there anything else dangerous?" So he asked softly in shock.
"The lingering ghosts of the Liu family...you don't know some things about me and the Liu family, Mr. Lin knows." Chen Feirong shook her head gently and said: "The provincial governor is indeed very protective of us. Today in the military camp
, he sent someone to tell me specifically that officials from the Liu family had been transferred to Bishui Province and seemed to be investigating the matter between me and Da Dexiang."
"The Liu family has also investigated some of my background at Longshe Border, but all the people there should have been killed by Master Lin and others." After Chen Feirong paused, she added: "The Liu family is getting more and more involved now.
If you are not willing to give in, the retaliation against us will become more cruel. So I am afraid that we will not be able to cope with it alone."
Xu Sheng lowered his voice again and said: "Master Lin's whereabouts are uncertain... How can we let him know quickly?"
"We agreed to use soap."
Thinking that this was a secret that belonged to herself and Lin Xi, and that it was a very powerful, and could even be said to be the greatest means of conveying military information and secrets in Yunqin so far, Chen Feirong smiled sweetly and said softly: "We are great virtues.
Xiang’s rice noodles are not yet spread throughout Yunqin, but our soaps have occupied all the streets and alleys in Yunqin. Our soaps can be found wherever people bathe or wash clothes.”
Xu Sheng was stunned.
Chen Feirong smiled sweetly and continued to explain: "When Mr. Lin and I discussed this secret, we had already made all preparations. Each of our workshops has a set of movable type pattern inlay molds.
, when we want to send a message, our workshops all over the country will produce the soap we want to send the message very quickly...and then we will also use some preferential excuses to deliberately keep the price of this soap low.
Next... Who wouldn’t love soap that looks more beautiful, but has the same quality and is cheaper? Especially many caravans and many small vendors will sell such soap faster than we can distribute it.
The ointment is spread to every corner of Yunqin, even at the very border."
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and asked softly, somewhat unimaginably: "You mean...just print what you want to say and tell Mr. Lin on every piece of soap?"
"Yes." Chen Feirong chuckled and said: "Master Lin and I have agreed on a unique set of secret texts... The set of texts he wrote to me are square and square, which makes it easy to make movable type molds and looks very similar.
Mysterious runes are like these, and both sides of the soap paste are embossed with such patterns, which are very unique and beautiful. During the trial production, I made several sets and gave them to several literati and some high-ranking officials. All the words written on them were curse words.
There are some interesting words written by Mr. Lin himself, such as "Arty and ignorant, and I am compulsively writing books without any reason", "Being greedy for gold and silver makes me happy for a while, but later harms the whole family" and other interesting words written by Mr. Lin himself. Not only were the literati and officials not angry when they saw it, they were very angry.
I like it and think the pattern is unique. Many of them probably still display it at home and are reluctant to use it. Mr. Lin is really interesting sometimes and gave us a name for this series of soaps made with this set of characters "Another World".
It is the name of this series and the unique texture of these words that make many literati love it more and find it very artistic and suitable."
Xu Sheng was completely stunned when he heard this.
He has been operating in the fish market since he was a child, and he has come into contact with countless businessmen. However, these thoughts and ideas are not a question of smartness or not, but make him feel that the head of Mr. Lin Xilin, whom he respects, is both smart and smart.
Ordinary people are completely different.
"Who would know that the secret is exposed in broad daylight, in any street and alley in Yunqin, under anyone's eyes?" As the carriage bumped, he was stunned for a long time, and then he couldn't help but say: "
This is a huge intelligence agency that no one can imagine. Not only is the speed of delivering information fast, but it is also extremely thorough...even the intelligence agency of the imperial court is not as good as...because the imperial court only has officials from those agencies delivering the information, but this is not the case.
It’s the countless shops and vendors that are adding fuel to the fire.”
Chen Feirong smiled and narrowed her eyes slightly, saying: "Ever since Mr. Lin decided to do black market business, he felt that it would definitely be of great use in the future."
Xu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little inexplicably excited, "Mr. Lin is really a very human being." He also laughed and sighed.

(I am extremely satisfied with writing this transitional chapter. It’s not just because of YY. It has nothing to do with the writing style or rhythm. It’s really about constantly using your brain. Your storytelling ability can really become stronger. It’s true.
I can feel that I have made progress compared to the previous books. Some layers of foreshadowing came together naturally in the end. Many aspects of things led to the occurrence of some people and some things, and then it progressed layer by layer, and many places were described.
I don’t know if you can see what happened. Anyway, I am very happy with some of my progress. I finally announced it arrogantly. There should be another update tonight)
