In a blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Guo Song came back from Shazhou, the Hexi Corridor has entered November, the cold wind is bitter, the temperature has plummeted, the river is frozen, the winter of the second year of construction has come, every household has been ready for winter early, and when the heavy snow comes, the Hexi Corridor will be completely closed.

However, according to the experience of previous years, the actual heavy snow on the road will not arrive until around mid-to-late November, at least a dozen days, and before that, there will usually be a few light snowfalls.

Experience is still relatively accurate, and soon, a light snow began to appear on the land of Ganzhou and Liangzhou.

At this time, a team composed of dozens of camels and several carriages appeared on the official road in the east of the city, and the first horse was an obese man, who was Zhang Lei.

In the back carriage sat his wife and concubine and several children, before the family hid in Chengdu, but a month ago, his wife Li Wenyu accidentally found that someone was secretly spying on them, Zhang Lei was scared, and fled to Zhangye with his wife and children.

"We're finally safe!"

Zhang Lei turned his head and shouted, a bright smile appeared on his face, this is his junior brother's territory, only here will he feel safe.

"Da Lang, do you think our money in the capital will be swallowed up?" Li Wenyu asked worriedly.

"This.... Let's go back and discuss it with the fifth child! ”

Zhang Lei didn't have a bottom in his heart, after all, the Hidden Sword Pavilion could do anything, and he was famous for doing evil in the capital.

The group entered the city, and after a short time, they came to Guo Song's mansion, and the housekeeper Wang heard the news and greeted him, "Yo! It was Zhang Dongzhu who came. ”

"Steward Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, where is your master?"

Steward Wang pointed to the official office opposite, "In the yamen!" I'll go find him. ”

"No need, I'll go by myself, go and inform Madame first, and settle my family down."

At this time, Xue Tao also got the news that he hadn't seen Li Wenyu for a year and a half, and Xue Tao was very happy to meet his old friend in another country, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to arrange for someone to move the luggage to the East Courtyard, and she took Li Wenyu's family into the mansion.

Zhang Lei came to Guo Song's official room alone, he had been to Zhangye last year and was familiar with this place.

I happened to meet Zhang Qianyi at the door of the official room, and Zhang Qianyi smiled and said: "Rare guest! When did proprietor Zhang come to Zhangye? ”

"Just arrived!" Zhang Lei smiled bitterly and said: "I fled from Chengdu with my family, I think about it, it's still safe here." ”

"Senior brother, did you know that Zhang Ye was safe until now?" Guo Song walked out of the room with a smile.

"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, you know that I have to stay in the capital most of the time, and I can't do without it!"

Guo Song patted his broad back and said with a smile: "Come in and talk, I just have something to look for you." ”

The two brothers went into the back room and sat down, Du Siye came in and served them hot tea, and Guo Song instructed him: "Don't let people disturb me for the time being." ”

"I know!"

Du Siye closed the door for them and went out.

Guo Song asked Zhang Lei again: "You have been in the capital during this time?" ”

"Running between the capital and Chengdu, your sister-in-law is in Chengdu, I am alone in the capital, worried, but your sister-in-law found out that there were people in Chengdu to spy on them, so scared that I hurried back to Chengdu and sent them to Zhangye, junior brother, before the heavy snow in Hexi closed the road, I had to rush back to the capital."

"Are the people of the Hidden Sword Pavilion embarrassed you?" Guo Song asked with a deep groan.

Zhang Lei shook his head, "Since you left the capital, they seem to have died down, and they haven't found anyone watching, it's strange, they actually spy on Chengdu, but they don't care about the capital, I guess they were cleaned up by you, and they were so frightened that they reined." ”

Guo Song smiled, he had already cleared his mind, it should be the Yuan family who changed their strategy, first overthrowing themselves politically, and then slowly cleaning up their relatives and friends, and now they are in the capital, they just don't want to startle the snake.

Of course, he didn't want to tell Zhang Lei these words for the time being.

Guo Song said again: "Senior brother, I have two things for you to do, the stakes are very high, you must do your best." ”

"Say it! As long as I can do it, I'm not ambiguous. ”

"First of all, you exchange all our inventory money in Chang'an into gold and silver and send it to Zhangye."

Zhang Lei was taken aback, "Senior brother, is something wrong?" ”

"There hasn't been an accident yet, but I feel that the situation is a little bad, and it is also a precaution to transport the money here, so as not to be confiscated by the government and the loss is too great."

Zhang Lei's expression became nervous, he knew his junior brother very well, he said that if something happened, there must be a basis, he nodded, "I listen to you, I will start exchanging gold and silver when I go back, do you say that the wine shop and the treasure pavilion should be sold?" ”

"Shops, houses, manors, these real estate should not be sold for the time being, it is too obvious, but it will be honest to others, just transport the property back, I will let a hundred personal soldiers go back with you to assist you, don't worry, try to be thoughtful, I will write you a letter, please help the master of the Dugu family, you can transfer my share of the Meishou wine shop to him, I owe him a lot of favors, I will give you the share of the treasure pavilion."

Zhang Lei nodded silently, the junior brother was going to completely withdraw from the capital.

"Don't worry! After so many years in business, I know all kinds of tricks for transferring property, even if I exchange gold and silver, I won't let people know that it's me, what else do you say? ”

Guo Song didn't answer him directly, but took out a small box from the drawer, "Senior brother, do you remember this thing?" ”

Zhang Lei opened the box, there was white crystal powder like snow inside, he sniffed it, hesitated for a moment and said: "This is a bit like nitrate, we used to scrape a lot in the corner of the Qingxuguan wall in Kongtong Mountain, and ignition can help burn." ”

"It's nitrate, Longyou Jiedu Mansion is rich in saltpeter mines, but it's not pure, I remember that Zixiao Tiangong is good at alchemy, especially Beifeng Zhenren will use the sulfonite method to make lead pills, and the skill of purifying saltpeter is the first in the world, you let the senior brother persuade him well, and invite him to come to Ganzhou with Houlu, and I will build a Taoist temple for him in Ganzhou, so that he can be the master."

Zhang Lei smiled and waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter, he must be willing, the old miscellaneous hairs of Zixiao Heavenly Palace have a heavy heart for fame and fortune, build a Taoist temple for him, and he will climb over even if he climbs." ”

"Then there is the one who buys me a batch of sulfur, at least a few thousand catties, the more the better."

Zhang Lei didn't ask much about what to do with buying sulfur, so he happily agreed: "No problem, I'll buy it for you in Bashu, the output is large there, the price is very cheap, and then find a team dedicated to transporting goods for you, but it will have to wait until the spring of next year." ”

Guo Song nodded, "It's too late for spring next year, just these two things, you must do it well." ”

Zhang Lei saw Guo Song's serious expression, so he nodded solemnly, he didn't dare to pat his chest again, but kept it in his heart.

..........

In Chang'an Dugu Mansion, Dugu Qian hurriedly walked into the mansion, came to his father's study, and said loudly: "Father, the child is in trouble!" ”

"Come in!"

Duguqian walked into the room quickly, and saw his father sitting by the brazier reading a book, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "The child greets his father." ”

Dugu Qiu put down the book and asked, "Why did you come to me in such a hurry?" ”

"Father, the child has already found out Tian Wenxiu's identity before entering the palace."

Dugu Qiu's spirits perked up, almost twenty days have passed since this incident, and he thought that he couldn't find it, but he didn't expect his son to find out.

"Didn't you say it's too old to find out?"

Dugu Qian said with a smile: "The child trustee found out that he was originally summoned into the palace by Li Fuguo, eighteen years ago, and later found the list of eunuchs who entered the palace, including Tian Wenxiu, and there was a little eunuch who entered the palace with him at that time, they had a very good relationship at that time, and now he is guarding the spirit of the first emperor."

The child found this eunuch, and he told me that it was Tian Wenxiu who told him personally, Tian Wenxiu's father was a slave of the Yuan Mansion, and his master's surname was Yuan Agui, and he was called Yuan Xilang before he entered the palace, and it was Yuan Xuanhu who sent him into the palace and changed his name to Tian Wenxiu. ”

"And then?" Dugu Qiu asked quietly,

"After entering the palace, he was coarse and ink-coarse, and was sent by Li Fuguo to serve in the Lu Palace, when the Son of Heaven was still His Royal Highness the King of Lu, His Royal Highness's eldest son was only three years old, and he liked to use him as a horse to ride, so he had a nickname in the Lu Palace, called the Royal Horse, this time it was Huo Xianming who recommended him to go to Hexi Jiedu Mansion as a supervisor."

Du Guqiu nodded, and sure enough, he guessed it, this Tian Wenxiu is related to the Yuan family, and it was actually recommended by Huo Xianming, it can be seen that Huo Xianming was also bought by the Yuan family, it seems that Guo Song is a little fierce this time.

Du Isolate Qiu took a few steps with his hand, "Okay, give Guo Song another favor!" Whether he can survive this danger depends on his own luck. ’
