"Yes." Xiang Sheng sighed helplessly, adhering to the philosophy that people are the swordsmen, and I am the flesh of the fish. If you don't want to be shattered to pieces, you must actively cooperate. He lowered his eyebrows and said plainly, "Miss, the change of power in our Zhou family will cause troubles.
It's quite a mess, but not everyone can get involved. As for the person you mentioned..." As he spoke, he curled his lips and said, "With all due respect, this portion seems a bit too small." That means,
Who do you think he is? Ordinary people cannot be affected at all!
Although the words were not polite, Zhou Yan still asked what she wanted to know, and secretly sneered in her heart, "It's small? That's because you don't know his true identity!"
In the past, I didn't dare to contact him because I was not sure of victory and didn't know what kind of person he was. Now, with a group of experts around me, what should I be afraid of?
The ghost falcon landed in a secluded place outside the city. Several of them were dressed like ordinary wandering warriors. After living in the open air for a period of time, it was not easy to tell them apart just from their appearance. To be on the safe side, Luo Yan took out Jiang
Juice and other disguise supplies were distributed to everyone, and each of them dressed up
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the city gate: "Stop!" A soldier stopped several warriors with a gun, unfolded the scroll and took a look, "Scholar, scoundrel, wolf...take them away!" Then followed by a burst of
There was a clatter of iron ropes, and several people who were about to cross the city gate were escorted down by the fierce city guards.
"Scholar, scoundrel, wolf?" Ge San chewed with a strange look on his face and cursed in a low voice, "Damn! Aren't these just us!"
"Plop!" Despite the urgency of the situation, Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Rogue?" Well, this description is quite appropriate!
The corner of Luo Yan's mouth twitched a little. He looked around and saw no other entrances. Moreover, Ah Bu's invisibility ability might not be of any use at this time. When he was worried, Xiang Sheng nodded and bowed and asked, "Young master, you already have one?"
What's a good plan? I also have one, but I don't know if it's right or not. If not, I'll just tell you what it is and just listen to it. If it's not right, don't get upset!"
Luo Yan glanced at him and snorted coldly: "You are really smart! Don't imitate those nobles who can't make any point in their three sentences. If you dare to trick me again, I will throw you into the slave market!"
"
"Yes, yes, the kind and wise young master is different!" Xiang Sheng wiped his sweat, and when Luo Yan looked at him about to get angry, he quickly shouted, "Escort team! We can go in with the escort team, there are many people in the escort team
, it’s impossible for the city guard to check one by one!”
Several people looked at each other, nodded, and walked a little way outside the city. After confirming the sight of the city guards, they squatted on the roadside and guarded for a whole morning before waiting for a escort team that was beneficial to them.
This escort team transports a lot of goods, mainly tea, silk and other southern specialties. The people in the escort team are also businessmen, warriors, poets, doctors and other various figures. It seems that they are going out to do business.
Luo Yan pushed Xiang Sheng, threw him a bag of gold and two Yuanli stones, and urged: "Go quickly! Do things well, and the rest is yours."
"Hey!" Xiang Sheng took the things and responded happily. He ran all the way and stopped the leader of the escort team. After gesticulating for a long time, he ran back with a happy face, nodded and bowed and said: "Sir, that's it!"
Luo Yan stood up, glanced at him, and hummed: "How much has been embezzled?"
Xiang Sheng hesitated and said with a grimace: "Young master, you clearly said... farewell, I say! Ahem, there are only twenty taels of gold and a Yuanli stone left."
Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction. For eighty taels of gold and a piece of Yuanli Stone, it seems that he is quite good at doing business. Generally, large escort teams like this are not willing to accept people of unknown origin.
Abuzao was taken into the spiritual pet space by Luo Yan, while the red-skinned pig was sadly dyed into a yellow-skinned pig by Ge San (it was originally intended to be dyed into a white-skinned pig, but the brushing method could not cover it up)
(The whole body was red and had to be painted with another layer of yellow), and several people had already disguised themselves. Luo Yan really didn't believe that the city guards who didn't look too smart could figure it out.
In fact, it was the same. A few people successfully entered the city with the escort team and stayed in a relatively large inn. They suppressed their anxiety, cleaned up the room, and imitated the way most outsiders do.
I followed a few escorts to introduce the situation in Jizhou City, and followed a group of young people to go shopping for a long time and bought a bunch of local specialties.
As usual, there was a midnight carnival in the evening. Anyway, the escort team would be stationed here for a while for the merchants to trade goods, so no one was in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, they were exchanging knowledge about Jizhou with each other.
Waiting patiently for the second half of the day, waiting for everyone to fall asleep, Luo Yan asked Ge San and others to change clothes, leaving Ge Xiaowu to look at Xiang Sheng, then quietly climbed over the wall and went out, following Zhou Yan to Hanji Drug Store.
go
Hanji Pharmacy has only one storefront and operates a low- to medium-level elixir business. It is not very famous in Jizhou. Recently, like other small and medium-sized pharmacies, it has shown an obvious trend of decline due to the expansion of the Che family.
"In the past, our family and the Che family each accounted for 30% of the elixir business in Jizhou. Now Zhou Ju obviously doesn't want to make progress. Instead, he has people shrink the business, and even gives up 15% of the elixir business share to the Che family. Now, they
When my family's self-confidence reaches the extreme, it is natural to merge those small and medium-sized shops in one go." Zhou Yan explained in a low voice while leading them through the streets, "This shopkeeper Han is a confidant who was secretly cultivated by my father during his lifetime.
, He doesn’t usually show up, but according to my father, there is no doubt about his intelligence ability and loyalty. But now that the Zhou family has changed hands, I don’t know if he is still willing to help. Everyone, please be careful later. Mr. Luo will accompany me in, and the third brother is outside.
Stay on guard and leave immediately if something happens!"
"Oh, the treatment is just different!" Luo Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully.
Zhou Yan blushed and defended: "I, I think the third brother... is not very understanding of the world, and he can't help if he goes there, but only adds trouble, so..." How can she admit that she is not willing to let Ge San take risks!
"Okay, I'm too lazy to mind your business!" Luo Yan shook his head and laughed, then went into the backyard of Hanji Pharmacy, while Ge San was left on a tree outside the courtyard.
The study room in the backyard was brightly lit. The middle-aged Han Liang was moving the abacus beads against the ledger like most businessmen, calculating the gains and losses of this month. Sometimes he was talking to himself, sometimes he was cursing in a low voice. For a long time, the beads rolled.
The sound gradually stopped, and he muttered: "Cars and people travel, so you're being cruel!"
"Hey!" Luo Yan poked Zhou Yan and asked quietly in his soul, "Is this okay? Why do I think he is just an ordinary businessman?"
Zhou Yan also looked a little weird and murmured: "I have never dealt with him before, but my father admired him very much. He also said that a person who pretends to be such a person that even he believes that he is is truly successful.
"
"Alas, another loss!" In the study, Han Liang depressedly pushed away the account book and abacus, carefully picked up the oil lamp, and walked to the inner room with a sigh. After a while, the inner room became completely dark.
In the darkness, Luo Yan and Zhou Yan looked at each other. The former asked first: "Are we still going in? Why do I feel... so unreliable?"
"I...how do I know? Didn't I tell you that I have never dealt with him?" Zhou Yan also looked embarrassed.
"I was wondering why the little thieves today were so weird. They turned out to be two little babies with Yuanli!"
"ah--"
At this moment, a breeze blew behind the two of them, and a gentle voice joked, which scared Zhou Yan, who had recently become a frightened bird, and screamed on the spot.
