Seeing that a business that was about to be earned was actually flying like this, and his mixed belongings were covered with an ominous hat by the guy next to him who had only known him for less than an hour, Yang Chen was full of annoyance and wanted to spray at Wang Zhezheng's smiling face.

After stopping the carriage, seeing that the hired customer had already walked away, Yang Chen did not continue to whip away. He was reluctant to withdraw his gaze from the hired customer who was walking on the side and occasionally looked back, and after taking a deep breath, he stared at Wang Zhe with a temper and said, "What did you mean by that just now?" ”

"I'm going out of town."

Wang Zhe's expression was calm, neither paying attention to the small flame in Yang Chen's eyes at this time, nor did he have the slightest sense of guilt for buttoning Yang Chen's dark hat just now, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.

Yang Chen sighed and said, "Although the carriage shop in Kyoto is mainly freight, and there are not many travelers, I am not the only one. Now that you've seen my car passenger, why don't you go find someone else? ”

Wang Zhe heard the strong complaint in Yang Chen's words, but he still didn't feel ashamed at all. However, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't know whether it meant an apology or a flattery, and said, "Take me out of the city." ”

Yang Chen had no way to take Wang Zhe's attitude of not being arrogant or irritable, and the more he looked at Wang Zhe's indifferent appearance, the more difficult it was to suppress the anger in his heart.

After a moment of silence, his face sank, and Yang Chen suddenly slapped him heavily on the wooden board where he was sitting, although he still didn't let go of his voice and shouted, the anger in his tone was already very obvious: "I don't know if that person will tell you what happened today, like those who do my job, reputation is very important!" You did this, you just said something like that, do you know it will delay my business?! ”

Yang Chen's palm slapped the wooden board up and down to gray together, and it seemed that the strength was not small, but the wooden board only made a low muffled sound. This ordinary-looking carriage may be faintly visible, but the actual construction may not be as thin as it seems. And in spite of the low voice, the sound startled the horse pulling the cart.

The horse pulling the cart looked like it was usually poorly maintained, with crooked hair and a lot of dust on its back. Hearing the sound, its back shook slightly, and then it tilted its head to look at its master. Seeing that his master was still sitting, the horse seemed to be reassured, shook his head and neighed, and kicked his front hooves again. Without some kind of order from its master, it still stood there obediently.

However, it was only this series of small actions. That is, a few passers-by who had just passed by frequently looked sideways, with a little vigilance in their eyes, and then quickened their pace and left.

You know, the horse restriction in the inner city of Kyoto is extremely strict, and once a horse goes crazy, it goes around. The owner of the horse will be severely punished. However, Kyoto residents pay more attention to precautions than to remedy them after the fact.

For horses with signs of madness, the residents of Kyoto are sensitive to the point of being sick, because if they get involved, even if they are victims, they will go to the government office. The various interrogation documents obtained because of this matter can also annoy people to death.

At this time, two people parked the carriage in the middle of the road and quarreled. I can't die if my fellow Daoists die. Let the madman go crazy by himself, we ordinary people look down on this kind of excitement, let's avoid it first!

"I'm just going to ride in your carriage." Wang Zhe suddenly said such a slightly domineering sentence, and then looked at Yang Chen silently, and the smile on his face before also cooled.

Yang Chen just shouted. was immediately yelled back by him, and the momentum seemed stronger.

Yang Chen was stunned by Wang Zhe's yelling. Feeling that his horse was showing signs of agitation, and the unkind gaze of passers-by was projected on the side of the road, he realized that he could no longer roar with the man in front of him.

With another deep sigh, Yang Chen held the horsewhip and shook it in front of Wang Zhe's eyes, shook his head and said helplessly: "If you are not a ghost, don't talk nonsense, are you a demon at this time?" ”

Yang Chen stopped yelling, although he still had no good words, Wang Zhe also calmed down, and didn't bother with him anymore, and I don't know if his shouting just now made up his mind to do something against Yang Chen.

"Bailubo outside the North City, can you leave?"

Wang Zhe's gaze went straight through the phantom of the horsewhip that was shaking in front of him, and directly fell on Yang Chen's face. His gaze was so unwavering that Yang Chen faintly sensed that he seemed to be someone he had honed in his military career. And the name of the place he reported made Yang Chen slightly suspicious in his heart.

However, without waiting for him to think about anything, he heard Wang Zhe then say: "In short, it is best for you to go today, if you don't go, you have to go, of course it won't be in vain." ”

The tone of Wang Zhe's last sentence seemed a little joking and overweight, which suddenly diluted the hardness in his previous sentence, and also made Yang Chen suddenly change his mind, and forget what he was still angry about just now.

This is because, for horse lovers, Shirashiba, located just outside the northern castle of Kyoto, is a magical place.

If Wang Zhe can enter there, his identity can be described as unusual. And he said in his words that he must take Yang Chen there, and the intention of this is self-evident - the reason why he did this is also Yang Chen's joy.

Suspicion flashed in his eyes, Yang Chen did not readily agree, but said with a cold smile: "I am in a good mood for the next day, but I was stinked by the effort you did just now." But I'm also half a businessman, and I don't have any reason to push my business out of the door, but now that you're going to take my car, I'm not going to give you a free ride like I did when I came. ”

Although he vaguely knew that this trip was going, for himself, the benefits must be more than the disadvantages, and this benefit was brought to him by Wang Zhe, whose identity became more and more mysterious. However, Yang Chen still did not exempt Wang Zhe from asking for the fare, and he also put on a posture of being asked for, saying that he was half a businessman, but in fact, as a businessman, he should show due respect to his parents.

"You won't be paid less."

Wang Zhe didn't spin around, he touched it in his arms, and actually took out the silver again, and slapped the hard object on Yang Chen's palm without looking at it.

The fastest thing to touch is naturally the easiest to touch and the larger silver ingot. Yang Chen gently flicked the silver nugget in his hand, threw it into the pocket of the placket in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's really a defeat for the Wang family." ”

"You're also responsible for my return trip." Wang Zhe didn't care about Yang Chen's ridicule when he got the silver, but a heartfelt smile appeared in his eyes, "From now on, you can't take over business anymore, and it's likely that you will make an appointment tomorrow and you won't be able to do business today." ”

Yang Chen snorted lightly: "I'm not as squirry as you think." The implication is that the business he just lost is still very rare, and he still has a blockage in his heart because of it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whip in his hand was raised again.

……

Song house in the east of the city.

Although Ruan Luo and Mo Ye were both entering this mansion for the first time, they were very unfamiliar with the layout of the house, but Wang Zhe arranged for the servants to stay in this mansion was very sufficient, and they could ask if they had a mouth! Not far from the living room, Ruan Luo beckoned a family member to lead the way to the study, but he was still not allowed to help with the account books.

Walking in front of the study, the housekeeper who walked in front opened the door, and Ruan Luo immediately asked him to retreat. When Mo Ye was the only one around, Ruan Luo put the stack of account books on the desk in the study, and looked at the words on the cover page one by one, as if he was counting.

Seeing this, Mo Ye pondered for a while, and then began to push open all the windows in the study, and the light in the room suddenly brightened a lot, and the air was also transparent.

And when Mo Ye finished doing this and returned to her desk, she saw that Ruan Luo had spread out a stack of account books on the desk. The desk was already a little different from the width of the ordinary desk layout, and at this time, the table top was covered with books with similar cover colors, but the label showed that it was definitely not from a merchant, and suddenly at a glance, people couldn't help but feel a little dazzled.

Mo Ye froze her mind, and when she saw Ruan Luo's gaze falling on the table, she also froze, and she suddenly reminded: "On the way here just now, we said okay, you just put these account books in the study, and didn't say what you want to read." When the third brother Wang left, he also told him that you are only allowed to read the account book during the day, and you will be ready to rest after dinner. ”

"Third Brother Wang?" Ruan Luo, who was immersed in thought, hesitated, and it took a while before he completely came back to his senses.

Thinking of how this title that he was not used to came from, he smiled slightly, and said: "I suddenly hope that your memory is not so good, at least you just forgot Wang Zhe's words today." ”

Mo Ye's eyes were slightly embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he asked softly, "Didn't Mo leave something behind?" I've followed you all the way, and I've seen that you've been nervous about this stack of ledgers. ”

"There are no omissions, but these booklets are the only ones left in the hands of those bosses, and they must be treated with caution." Ruan Luowen Yan explained, and after a pause, he said: "I was thinking just now, can I take advantage of the fact that there is still a little time before the meal to smooth out the time of these account books, and sort them out so that I can check them tomorrow." ”

"Nope." Mo Ye, who had just inquired lightly, immediately became resolute.

Regardless of whether Ruan Luo was ready to act or not, Mo Ye absolutely obeyed her position, and after scanning all the ledgers on the table twice, she gave her reason: "There are twenty-seven books in total, even if you just turn the first and bottom pages, it will take a lot of time, if you add the time in order...... Brother Ruan is afraid that he is looking at this 'short while' time before dinner. ”

"That'...... All right. Ruan Luo smiled, and a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Briskly putting all the ledgers together again, Ruan Luo did not put them on the open bookshelf behind the desk, but opened a drawer under the desk. However, before he could put down the account book, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance rising from the drawer.
