By the time the people chasing behind found out the whereabouts of Yu Nianniang and her party, several people had already arrived in Tingzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If the night in Yizhou is too dull, the night in Tingzhou City is lonely and terrifying. During the day, you can still see people passing by in the bazaar, and occasionally you can see passing merchants.

As the sun sets, the pedestrians on the streets begin to hurry home, leaving only a few passers-by, and until it gets dark, the streets and alleys are quiet, and even the sound of cats walking in the alleys can be heard.

The gate of Tingzhou City was also closed early, and Yu Nianniang and his party just entered the city just in time to close the city gate.

According to the previous agreement, they should go to the market in Tingzhou, where most of the vendors trade, and the people they are looking for are also here.

However, the market has long been closed by this time.

A few people had to find an inn first.

I found several inns with their doors closed, and finally saw one, but the door was only ajar, and it looked like it was about to close.

Wucai couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Tingzhou has become like this everywhere?" ”

"Of course." Yu Nianniang said that she had personally experienced the panic brought to the people by the Northwest War three years ago, let alone those who were born in Tingzhou City. Those who can survive and those who are willing to continue to stay in Tingzhou need courage.

For the people and merchants in Tingzhou City now, all of them were provided by the court with various benefits, and they stayed and moved here after many appeasements.

Of course, with the Turkic sneak attack three years ago, the number of officers and soldiers stationed at the border of the court has also doubled.

The inn still looks relatively clean, and the ground is asking for three upper rooms.

Someone staying in the hotel should be happy, but when the shopkeeper saw that the three people were wearing swords around them, they immediately became nervous, but when they looked at Yu Nianniang, who had an extraordinary bearing, and Wucai, who was very good at talking with a smile, the shopkeeper's expression relaxed a little.

After arranging the room, the shopkeeper personally led a few people up to the second floor. At the same time, he asked: "I don't know where a few people come from, I don't know how many of them are from?" ”

"Lintao County, Gansu." Colorful Road.

"Lintao County?" The shopkeeper was very surprised: "There has only been a ground movement over there, and I heard that the damage is quite serious." ”

"It's fine."

"Are a few of you natives of Lintao County? This ground movement is not small, and we all felt it when it happened. ”

"It's just passing by."

"Oh, that's fine. I heard that most of the houses in Lintao County have collapsed, and the people don't even have a place to live......"

"The court made arrangements for all the people at the first time......"

"After all, it's not my own home, it's really pitiful......"

As they spoke, several people went outside the room.

There were very few people staying in the hotel, and the three rooms were arranged together. The inside is very clean, and the things are simple but have everything available.

Yu Nianniang and Wucai live in the middle room, and the three of them live on both sides.

Knowing that Yu Nianniang and his entourage came from Lintao County, the shopkeeper immediately felt a lot more cordial, and talked a lot, and finally said: "...... If you still need anything, just say it. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Wucai said with a smile, showing very kindness.

It didn't take long for the guy to bring hot water, and it was an important problem to take a shower on the way.

After a comfortable bath, the guy brought a meal, and the dinner was very simple, one meat and one vegetable, plus a soup.

"The girl will be on it." Colorful Road.

Yu Nianniang didn't think it was anything, two dishes and one soup were enough for two people, but it would be better if the soup was replaced with medicinal soup.

Wucai said: "Later, the slave maid will go down and boil a cup for the girl herself." ”

After dinner, Wucai went down to borrow the kitchen to make medicinal soup, Yu Nianniang read in the room, left two guards in the inn, and went out.

Half an hour later, the Heists returned.

"The Li Zi Firm does have a semicolon here, just three streets away from here, it has been closed, there should be a yard behind it, the lights are on, and there should be people living in it at night...... I've observed that if you go to the market from this inn, you can just pass by the branch of the Li Sho ......"

Then tomorrow I will go to the market to find Li Changsheng first, and then I will talk about the Li character business later.

Yu Nianniang nodded, and discussed with Di Xia what to say when the time came to go to the Li Firm, after all, the Li Merchant was from the Li Mansion, and they came here to meet Li Changsheng, if it was found that they were investigating the Li Firm, they would also have some good excuses.

The next day, Yu Nianniang got up in bed, and after a simple freshening, he went downstairs with Wucai, and the earth demon had already gone out for a turn and came back, and the two guards were sitting downstairs.

Then the group went out of the inn, walked three streets, and sure enough, they saw a business, the shop is not big, and the door plaque looks very ordinary, with the status of Li Mansion in the business community of Taiyuan Mansion now, such a store seems to be very low-key, however, the four words of the Li word business name on it are golden.

When Yu Nianniang and a few people passed by, the door of the Li Zi business had just opened, and the guy yawned while holding the plaster, looking in from the outside, the furnishings were very simple.

However, many things cannot be seen at the surface.

A few people found a Chaos seller to sit down diagonally opposite the Li Zi Firm, and one of them asked for a bowl of Chaos.

As soon as a few people sat down at the chaos stall, before they had eaten half of a bowl of chaos, they saw someone enter the Li business.

The man was of medium height, dressed in ordinary clothes, with a calm complexion and a steady gait.

As soon as he entered the business, the man greeted him with a smile, and then the two said a few words, the man stood in the business and looked at it, the man went into the backyard, and after a while a man in his fifties walked out, according to his behavior, he should be the shopkeeper of the business, and the shopkeeper took the man around the business, and finally led him to the backyard.

Yu Nianniang and the others sat on the chaos stall for a while, but no one came out. So one guard was left, Yu Nianniang, Disha, Wucai and another guard went to the market.

The bazaar is not far away. The four arrived quickly.

The market is earlier than the shops on the street, and all kinds of vendors in it are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, looking at the smiles on the faces of the vendors, it should be busy for a while.

Yu Nianniang walked and looked and found that the placement of those stalls was also different, just like the current market. Vegetable vendors, groceries, birds, and more.

However, because there are few people in Tingzhou now, only the vegetable seller area has the most people buying and selling, and the grocery area is fine, while there are only one or two stalls in the flower and bird area, so obviously there are not many people who buy these.

Yu Nianniang saw Li Changsheng and a chubby one in the last place. A man with a round belly.

Seeing Yu Nianniang, Li Changsheng was surprised and surprised, greeted him warmly, and took the initiative to introduce both sides.

The fat man is a merchant who sells medicine.

Li Changsheng also quietly told Yu Nianniang: "This fat man's home is on the border, leaning on the northwest grassland, his father is from our Celestial Empire, and his mother is a member of a minority tribe in the northwest, so as long as you buy something that is not easy to buy or can't buy, you can basically buy it from him, he has a way." ”
