The middle-aged man surnamed Li sent a total of two guards out, and the Zhan guards took the first step, but the one behind actually arrived at his destination much earlier than him, and of course, he died earlier......

This escort was following none other than the guy sent by Wan An to sell the land.

Although Wan An also has more than 1,000 acres of land in his hands, as a master of the Grandmaster Realm, he naturally does not have to worry about causing others to peep, in order to deal with the land in his hand as much as possible, so he only chose the most crowded Yaxing near the Taishou Yamen, as for the problem of copper coins, there is no need to worry, just agree with those buyers to let them transport the copper coins to several shops in Yangzhou, and go there to get the title deed, so that there is no need to bother these land-selling guys to carry the pile of money that weighs as much as Mount Tai.

Therefore, these guys from the Wan family walked quite chicly, without the pain of the teenagers moving mountains, and the road was really not far, so naturally it didn't take much time, and of course the guard who followed behind him ended his short life prematurely.

The process of the guard's death is really simple, very fast, and the murderer is very clear.

When the guard followed the men of the Wan family to the small courtyard where Wan An was, the men just knocked lightly on the door, the door opened, and the men walked in.

Then, just as the guard was about to climb the courtyard wall and climb inside, suddenly, someone was gently patted on the shoulder, and then a deep baritro voice said: "This brother, why don't you go to the main gate?"

Next, the guards were naturally taken aback, and then they were ready to take precautions, and then ...... And then there is no more!

Luo Yi just pointed at the guard's back, counting the third vertebrae from the neck down, and pecked lightly with his hand. Yes, with a gentle peck like a chicken eating rice, the young guard left this ugly world and returned to the bosom of the Lord. Oh, no! It should be the Buddha's embrace, because this guard believes in the Buddha and carries a string of prayer beads in his pocket!

"Hey, hey, the fuck won't you, will you?" Luo Yi looked at the guard who fell to the ground, his eyes were round, his face was full of shock, and then at the dead guard, looking completely incredulous.

"My mother, it turns out that this Laoshizi joint technique is so useful! Xiaoba, this stinky boy got something back, it's really a bit of a surprise......" Luo Yi then muttered in a low voice, and then as if he thought of something, he suddenly made up his mind and said: "No, I have to add another steel bar to the soft armor when I go back, otherwise I will die too unjustly!"

Luo Yi muttered to himself while nodding vigorously.

"Okay, add steel bars, you just wrapped a steel plate, and you were put into the body by a master, and you still have to die! Hurry up and dispose of the corpse!" Wan An stood on the courtyard wall, looked down at Luo Yi who was standing at the bottom, and said.

"Oh, oh! no...... Uncle An, is this the person you said you could make me do it?" Luo Yi raised his head and looked at Goodnight with a depressed expression and asked.

"Haven't you already made a move?" Wan An said expressionlessly.

"Shoot? no...... Can this also be called?" Luo Yi waved his right hand vigorously, pointed to the corpse of the guard who had fallen to the ground with his left hand, his eyes glanced at Wan An, raised his voice, and asked with an incredible face.

"It's because you don't believe that the joint technique is useful, if you have to try it, who can blame you? Besides, I haven't settled accounts with you yet! You killed someone, who am I going to torture?" Wan An looked at Luo Yi with cold eyes, and said slowly.

When Luo Yi heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said convincingly: "I'll deal with the corpse!"

"Don't forget to search your body and see if there are any clues. Wan An then added.

"Got it!" Luo Yi carried the corpse on his back, took a few quick steps, and disappeared into the deep alley in an instant.

An hour later, Luo Yi returned to the small courtyard.

"Did you find any useful clues?" Wan An asked while meditating with his eyes closed.

When Luo Yi heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, this guy is very clean, his clothes and knives are all ordinary goods, you can buy them from any shop, but there should still be some subtle differences, but I have to find the old shopkeeper at home to see for myself, I don't have the strength to do this." ”

"Well, I've brought everything back!" After speaking, Luo Yi reached out and threw a package on the ground in front of Wan An, making a crisp sound of iron hitting the floor, which was a package wrapped in the guard's clothes.

Wan An opened his eyes and looked at Luo Yi with a slightly helpless look, then shook his head and said, "We'll leave immediately, what's the use of keeping this thing? Could it be that you have traveled thousands of miles to bring it back to Yuzhang?

"Okay, keep it for yourself, and find a place to throw it away when you get out of the city later!" Wan An closed his eyes again after speaking, and then meditated.

"Oh......" Luo Yi hung his head in frustration, with a look of dissatisfaction with desire, and turned to leave.

Subsequently, Wan An and others, who had completed the task of coming to Yangzhou City, began to pack up and prepare to leave before the city gate was locked.

This time he returned to Yangzhou, Wan An successfully completed the task assigned by Wan Dezhao and earned nearly 20 million copper coins, which naturally would not be transported back to Yuzhang by himself.

The reason for the creation of the cabinet shop in Yangzhou City is to facilitate the capital exchange between all the maritime merchants in the south between Wuyue Town and the major coastal ports. After all, the volume of maritime trade and transportation is large, the cost is high, and accompanied by huge risks, the damage rate of ships and goods is basically more than fifty percent, for this reason, all the maritime merchants who go to sea almost do not only take one ship, basically more than five cargo ships, so that only after removing the damage can there be a profit.

Therefore, the demand for ships and goods by maritime merchants can be described as endless, and these require a huge amount of money, and even if the Tang Dynasty in this era is exchanged for gold and silver as an equivalent, the amount is still to be calculated by a boat, if the maritime merchants have to pull a few ships full of gold and silver every time, it is troublesome and easy to provoke the peep of those rivers and lakes, although the maritime merchants have their own escort team, but such a huge amount of silver is enough to attract those desperate masters, so it is really worth the loss。

For this reason, a clever maritime merchant set up such a cabinet for the settlement of funds in various places, and the guests only needed to deposit their money into the various branches of the cabinet, and then take the receipt issued by the cabinet to the branch in another place to withdraw the deposited money. Since all the maritime merchants have basically invested in it, with their strong financial strength, their reputation is naturally guaranteed, and the operation model similar to the membership system makes the maritime merchants who have "members" naturally rest assured that they will hand over the money to them.

As for whether the receipts will be counterfeited, the printing technology of this era has naturally not been able to reach the level of making colorful overprinted silver tickets, which is a common printing of silver tickets in later generations. The guests who are qualified to enter this cabinet are basically the maritime merchants with huge capital, such people are not many, and the shopkeeper of the branch can basically recognize them, and besides, the various "members" maritime merchants have already deposited a token in the branch where they need to come and go, or half a jade pendant, or half a porcelain, etc., and when the time comes to withdraw money, you only need to take out the token and compare one or two.

And the reason why Wen Ermao can also enter this cabinet and enjoy its services is naturally because even in such a cabinet that is not bad for money, five million guan is not a small amount, and the ecstatic shopkeeper quickly went through the membership procedures for Wen Ermao, and then personally provided Wen Ermao with a few jade pendants with complex patterns and exquisite abnormalities, and then ...... Broken into two pieces, and promised to send the token to Wen Ermao's designated branch as soon as possible, Wen Ermao is also a bold person, simply left a token in all the branches of the cabinet shop, carrying a large pile of half a jade pendant and a dozen receipts, and left the cabinet shop satisfied.

Of course, the business scope of such a cabinet is quite narrow, it was founded collectively by the maritime merchants, and basically only served the maritime merchants, and the outlets set up were only a few port cities, as well as Chang'an, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other most prosperous commercial cities, and even there was no one in Yuzhang City, but only in Wuyue Town, the source of maritime trade, there was a largest branch, which was also a cooperation between the maritime merchants from all over the south and the wealthy family of Yuzhang, or a compromise.

In short, the prototype of such a later generation of money banks appeared out of thin air in the land of Datang because of the needs of real business exchanges, and will usher in its radiant life, of course, these are later words!

Half an hour later, more than a dozen big carriages, carrying the calm Wan An and the sullen Luo Yi, and a large group of guys with a lot of bounties in their arms, happily set off home.

The convoy passed through the deserted streets, and from time to time I saw some men in black clothes in a hurry, in groups of twos and twos, their eyes were shooting around, as if they were searching for something.

"Uncle An, someone is here!" Luo Yi saw the men outside through the curtain of the carriage on the side of the carriage, and hurriedly shouted at Wan An, his eyes full of longing.

Wan An just opened his eyes and glanced at him, a sharp gaze shot out of his deep eyes.

Luo Yi had no choice but to lower his head when he saw it, and said dejectedly: "Okay!

Soon, the convoy went out of the city from the west gate of Yangzhou City, and after more than ten miles out of the city, Luo Yi stretched out his hand from the window and threw the package far away, so the Wan family and his party left Yangzhou City like this, just like when they came, they did not alarm anyone, and Yu Zhang's low-key style of action was demonstrated everywhere.

And those middle-aged guards surnamed Li sent out, spent a few hours searching Yangzhou City, but still did not have any gains, and finally after the scheduled meeting point round, the leader of the guards had to expand the scope of the search, although the city gate has been closed, but it still can't stop these foundation-building masters, one by one flying eaves and walking the wall, sweeping over the city wall to the outside of the city.

Although there are many foundation building masters in this world, there are not many, such as the middle-aged surnamed Li can generally have a group of foundation building masters as guards, which shows its strength, you must know that even Wan Dezhao's escort team only has a few foundation building masters. Of course, this is also because Li Yi is too rich, but silver money can gather a group of foundation building masters, but don't want to recruit masters in the grandmaster realm, and drive them with profit, naturally they can't talk about how loyal they are, so Li Yi will be so grief-stricken when the guards die......

There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, this is quite reasonable.

Finally, in the middle of the night, a group of guards found a naked and white body that had been blistered on the bank of a canal and waterway dozens of miles east of Yangzhou City, and then the two carried it back to Li Yi's mansion in the north of Yangzhou City.

Although it was late at night, Li Yi still didn't fall asleep, he didn't even change the dirty clothes on his body, with a pair of red eyes, he looked gloomily at the corpse of the guard who was carried back on the ground, like a silent volcano, and his face showed a look of anger accumulating in his heart.

In order to subdue the hearts of these masters, our Master Li is also very hard!

"Who is the murderer?" Li Yi's voice was cold and terrifying.

The guards standing on either side couldn't help but twitch their muscles.

"I don't know. At this time, it was naturally the leader of the guards who stepped forward to withstand the anger that his master might have erupted.

Li Yi was silent for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing, and just when everyone was about to lose it, Li Yi asked again, "Where was the corpse found?"

"A canal thirty miles east of the city. It was still the leader of the guards who spoke.

"One came back from the water gate in the north of the city, and the other was found in the outskirts of the east of the city, go, take these two places as the center, and investigate them within a radius of a hundred miles! My Li Yi's people can't just die in vain!" Li Yi said with a frosty face.

"Yes!" replied the leader of the guard respectfully.

"In addition, pay close attention to a group of young people in the north of the city! This is the message left by Brother Zhan!" Li Yi continued.

"Got it!"

"Let's go down!"

"Little retirement!"

After saying that, a group of guards lifted the corpse on the ground and turned to leave, and then the people who had been waiting for a long time came in from outside the door, replaced the soaked carpet, and then opened the incense burner, and put the incense pills in a small porcelain plate into it.

The movements of the subordinates were very light, and they were well-trained at first glance, and they did not affect Li Yi, who was sitting on the top and contemplating.

"In the message sent back by the Zhan guards, Yu Zhang should be a key, and it should be a group of young people who killed him, which can also be confirmed from the three disguised teenagers in the tooth line, but whether these teenagers are from Yu Zhang, or just mentioned Yu Zhang in passing, it is unknown. The other is the more than 23 million yuan, which should be copper coins here! There are indeed a lot of copper coins, but they may not be impossible to earn in Yangzhou City these days, but those who can earn so much money must be people who have been prepared for a long time, and there are not many such people, and even fewer young people! From Yuzhang...... It seems that this time there are two little ghosts from the Lu family among the seven sects and five surnames, and they are also from Yuzhang, could it be that they are?

Li Yi's analytical ability is very powerful, just from the words that Zhan Guard's death spit out, he can analyze so much information, and his thinking is close, which can be seen!

"Come on, prepare fragrant soup!" Li Yi thought for a while, and found that there was nothing to gain, so he called out the door.

Then a group of beautiful maidservants got busy......

The next day, dawn.

After thinking about it all night, Wang Tieniu still didn't come up with any good way, and started another busy day with two dark circles under his eyes.

It's just that in the manor now, the idle teenagers began to pack their bags, just waiting for Wang Tieniu's order to leave.

Looking at this scene, Wang Tieniu became even more anxious.

"Or ...... Go straight to the door and spend money to smash it?" a funny note popped up in Wang Tieniu's numb mind.

But then he realized the ridiculousness of this idea, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it!

"What the hell should I do......"

Just when Wang Tieniu was struggling, Xie An rushed over from the city, and when he saw Wang Tieniu, he hurriedly said: "Dongjia, Huaqing found me this morning and wanted to meet Dongjia!"

"Huaqing, oh! is that the white servant in the yamen who is in charge of the land transfer registration?" Wang Tieniu was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then remembered it after a while.

"What is he going to see me?" Wang Tieniu is now thinking about how to let the people of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames expand the jurisdiction of the City Division, so that his family can continue to make money, it is not bad to remember who Huaqing is, where can he still remember the promise he made to others!

When Xie An heard this, he had no choice but to remind Wang Tieniu: "Dongjia, didn't you promise that people would promote him to an eighth-rank official and give people thousands of family fortunes?"

When Wang Tieniu heard this, he remembered: "Oh...... If you don't say it, I'll forget it!"

Seeing the lazy look of the owner, Xie Anxin thought that the owner should not want to repay the debt, right?

I had to carefully observe the owner's reaction, and at the same time carefully asked, "What does the owner mean?"

"What do you mean?" asked Wang Tieniu blankly.

"It's over! The owner really wants to repay the debt! Brother Hua, although I have some friendship with you, brother, but after all, I also work for people, and this boss doesn't agree, and I can't help it!" Xie Anxin thought so, and then said: "Since the owner doesn't want to cash in, then I'll send him away!"

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Ah, who said I wouldn't honor it!" Wang Tieniu realized at this time that Xie An had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Big brother said that doing business is about integrity, and since you have promised others, you must do it!"

"Huh, what about the owner just now?" Xie An looked back, a puzzled expression.

"Oh, I just thought about something else, don't worry about this, take me to meet people, and ask Li Xian to prepare a receipt of 10,000 yuan from the cabinet, and then directly take the money from the cabinet and send it to people. Wang Tieniu also deeply felt the convenience of the cabinet since he knew that the cabinet was deposited, so he praised Wen Ermao.

In the east of the city, in a restaurant near the cabinet fang, Wang Tieniu was waiting in the private room on the second floor, and Xie An went to bring Hua Qing over.

After waiting for half an hour, Hua Qing came.

As soon as he saw Huaqing coming, Wang Tieniu hurriedly smiled and said to the other party: "Brother Hua, thank you for your help over the past few days, we are going to leave in a few days, and the few carriages parked downstairs are the thousands of family wealth promised to you, as for the eight-grade official position, I am afraid it will take a while, but you can rest assured, it will definitely be ...... in two years."

As soon as Hua Qing heard that the other party was leaving, he was very anxious, and he didn't care about greetings, so he hurriedly said: "Wang Dongjia wants to expand the jurisdiction of the city's ship?
