Chang Qing took more than a dozen brothers with blood shadows, and after arriving in Hongnong County, he joined the caravan of 'Jade' Chi, acted as an escort, and went to Xin'an County-

The matter of the Ji family, he didn't need to investigate, but Qin Wan had some faith in Lijing's 'door's ability to do things, but as a spy, he would be served by someone, and he couldn't even spread half a trace of news, and he was not only 108,000 miles away from Changqing's ability. The affairs of the Xin'an Ji family are very weird, if you startle the snake, it will not be easy to do.

Chang Qing knew that Qin Wan attached great importance to this matter, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Seeing that he would be in Xin'an County after a while, Chang Qing said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the people in this place will stare at outsiders, let's not 'show' the slightest inappropriateness, just go around Xin'an County in the past few days, don't ask about anything about the Ji family." Be cautious of the people around you, if there are any ruffians, rangers 'mixing' or 'mixing' or little beggars following you, you must be careful, you can't do anything to them, and even more 'exposed' your feet. ”

The people in the blood shadow have been with him for a long time, and now it is the first thing to do for Qin Wan, and they have enough strength to do a good job, so they respond repeatedly.

Compared with the cautious, cautious and eager to try, Changqing's brows were twisted.

He is used to doing these jobs, and naturally understands that the Ji family in Xin'an must be tired, but there are two possibilities for the death of the envoy of Li's 'door', one is that the Ji family itself is ignorant, thinking that people die like a lamp going out, and they can cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and they don't understand the terrible consequences that this matter will bring;

If it is the former, Xu is still within the scope of being able to control it, and if it is the latter, it is not something that he can control. Because of this, there must be no negligence in this trip, and caution should be the priority.

In order to inquire about the news of his family, the caravan traveled from the Western Regions to Guanzhong and Guandong more than ten years ago, and with the support of Qin Wan, the caravan also arrived in Jiangnan and Lingnan. Hongnong County is a large county rich in products, Xin'an County is not a barren place, the shopkeeper of the trading house has taken care of the top and bottom every year, the officials are happy to see such a caravan in, especially when they heard that the owner of the caravan has a good relationship with the East Palace, and they dare not deliberately make things difficult. As for the common people, they are accustomed to having such a big caravan, bringing the spices, goldware and many knick-knacks of the Hu people when they come, and the silk, porcelain and tea of the south of the Yangtze River when they go, stopping and stopping along the way, selling some goods and supplementing some local specialties.

The intention of their line, only the leader of the caravan knows a rough idea, and it has to be announced to the public that the owner said, this road is not very peaceful, and specially sent a few strong men to support, by the way, in a few neighboring counties to see, can buy a house and land, even if you can only buy a few acres of tea plantations is good.

In the summer, there are many outsiders who are willing to settle in the Central Plains, and there are a lot of Hu people living in Chang'an, and there are also many Hu people in Luoyang, which is justified. What's more, the surrounding areas of Luoyang are rich and have many granaries, and the people can't survive, so they often rush here in groups. Once you are hungry and red-eyed, it is common to become a mountain bandit.

Fortunately, the Luozhou soldiers are 'fine' and the eastern capital is the eastern capital, as long as the displaced people do not attack the county seat or the family manor and do not cause too much loss, they can be suppressed, and the local officials will not report to the imperial court. After all, although military generals have to make meritorious contributions, civilian officials can only be promoted if the local law and order is good. Luozhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not the four borders, and the power of the military generals is far inferior to that of the civilian officials, and they dare not compete with the civilian officials openly.

The cats here are tired, the officials are clear, the local people are clear, and they, the businessmen who travel all over the world, know even better, but they are hiding from the Ninety-Five Supreme in the Taiji Palace. In other words, that one also understands that it is just a matter of turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye, as long as it does not cause a big 'chaos'.

In any case, it is always a good thing to have a dozen more strong men with big shoulders and round waists in the caravan, and it is safe to walk the mountain road. The Blood Shadow people are not bad for money, and they are deliberately enveloped, and they quickly call the people of the caravan brothers.

Chang Qing watched coldly for a few days, and motioned for his subordinates to 'mingle' with a Hu man named Hetuo in the caravan.

With blonde hair and blue eyes, a tall figure, a high 'straight' nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, and fair skin, Heto is undoubtedly the most typical Hu appearance, which is particularly conspicuous in the caravan of mostly Han Chinese.

Of course, his original name was not this, "Hetuo" was the same as "'Jade' Chi", which was given for the convenience of doing business in Great Xia. And his Chinese is also very slippery, and his authentic official dialect sounds the same as the Hu people who grew up in Chang'an. The status of the caravan is not low, and it has been a long time to follow the 'jade', the reason why he has not 'mixed' particularly well, and he is set to be a big shopkeeper in one place, and he has to suffer from running 'waves', at least half of the reason is that he is good at drinking, easy to make mistakes, and likes to brag, and a small part of the reason is that he likes to run around'.

Chang Qing pondered for a moment the people of the caravan, if the Heart Dao Ji family was a soldier, they would pay special attention to outsiders. Their group of people entered the city in a mighty 'swing' and 'swing', even if many of them were familiar faces, the Ji family would be worried that they had brought people, and there was no reason not to come to explore the small team of one or two cars to meet a large caravan, and 'pay' some money to go together, which was a very common thing.

Heto's appearance is so conspicuous that many people look fresh, and they still have to say a few words to him if they have nothing to do, not to mention that his weaknesses are also there? Since it has been on this road for almost ten years, there is no reason why the Ji family does not know.

Instead of sneaking around, it's better to lure the snake out of the 'hole'.

Under the signal of Changqing, there were many men in the caravan who wanted to go to Nawa to Goolan for "pastime", and in front of them were warm and soft 'jade', all kinds of 'color' beauties, and the cups were full of fine wine, and many people were so happy that they drank and went to the room with the beauties in their arms. He Tuo's vision is relatively high, and he doesn't look down on the girl in the goulan in Xin'an County, he is a Hu person, and he still likes ** orchid, so he drank with Chang Qing and others and talked loudly.

When the wine was hot, in front of the aisle of the wide open room' 'door', two drunken men walked slowly under the support of the girl, and when they saw He Tuo coldly, they were stunned, and then they became happy: "Brother He, when did you come?" ”

Chang Qing held his wine glass and looked at these two "drunks" silently, seeing that they seemed to be staggering, but in fact they walked steadily, he knew that the main event was coming.

Heto, who was already a little drunk, saw the two men and recognized them for a while before he said, "You are ...... Oh, Steward Zhang, Shopkeeper Wang, long time no see! ”

Steward Zhang walked in with a smile, and under the greetings, he took care of everything and settled their 'flowers' today. Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Steward Zhang and He Tuo pushed the cup and changed the glass, and asked very naturally: "Brother He, what did you bring to the west this time?" ”

"Our host has spoken, and this time I brought a lot of good things!" He Tuo already has a big tongue, but he still doesn't forget to tout his own trading house, "Our host, you know, the first merchant in the Western Regions!" Several kings have been awarded knighthoods, first met Su Duhu, and then took the path of the county lord of Guangling, and now he is serving in the East Palace! You say, how many businessmen in the world can do this, don't you say? ”

Steward Zhang couldn't help nodding, this time he sincerely envied the status of businessmen has always been very low, people who have been in business don't think about being officials again, the court will not allow this kind of thing to happen for the sake of face, and can only hope for the clansmen or the next generation. 'Yu' was able to become an official for a long time, completely because he had the blessing of having titles in several countries, and he was barely regarded as a "nobleman of the Western Regions", and he was named an official, which belonged to "naturalization", and the scholars and doctors agreed.

He Tuo was touted by Steward Zhang, and he was even more fluttering, as if he was the one who became an official. This is also the norm, the status of the owner has improved, and his status has also risen, so he has advocated more vigorously, and over and over again, the owner has added more goods, this time their caravan is larger, there are more guards, and so on.

Steward Zhang tried for a long time, and the shopkeeper and his entourage also looked at these guards attentively, and found that although there were many faces, they were very familiar with Hetuo. He Tuo also said that they had more goods and more guards this time, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he put his mind on a few people who followed the caravan, and inquired about them one by one, and then continued to drink with a smile.

He came to test, and the blood-shadowed man also asked the caravan guard on the side under Changqing's signal: "Who is this person!" So bold? ”

"Oh, he's the chief steward of the Ji family." The guard said naturally, "The Ji family runs the largest raw 'medicine' shop in Xin'an County, and the best doctors are also from their family, and everyone who goes out respects three points." ”

The crowd nodded knowingly.

Who doesn't have a headache and brain fever? The 'medicine' materials and doctors are all in the hands of others, of course, they should be courteous.

Chang Qing heard this, and suddenly said, "The doctors are all from their family?" Isn't there still a family? ”

As soon as these words came out, the guards laughed: "How can the doctor of the family appear in front of people? Xu saw that Chang Qing was "ignorant", like a stunned young man, and saw that he was born with a loyal and honest appearance, and a few half-drunk and half-awake people also began to talk about the families and rich families in Hongnong County, and the people of the Ji family listened to it, and saw that they were just joining in the fun, not to mention that the guards were also good words, such as "being kind and charitable", "'trading' with them, the price is very fair", etc., so they smiled proudly, and did not take it seriously, but they didn't know that Chang Qing's heart was quickly calculated.

After just a few conversations, he had already inquired that the Ji family was not particularly keen on buying houses and land, but especially liked to buy barren mountains and forests to plant 'medicine' materials.

There is more than one rich family in Xin'an County, and there are several families that are in decline but supporting the shelf, and they have a dirty relationship with one of them at will, even if they work hard, they may not have the good reputation they have now.

He was too sensitive to the word "barren mountain", and as soon as he heard this verse, a thought came to his mind, could it be that there was also a 'jade' vein here, so that the Xin'an Ji family did not hesitate to commit murder?
