Since the opening of Xi'anmen Street, the impact on the West Market is not large, the West Market is mainly a bulk cargo distribution center, grain, oilseeds, tea, meat, livestock, etc., the business scope is basically not in conflict with Xi'anmen Street.

However, Xi'anmen Street has a great impact on the East Market, all kinds of jewelry and jade, high-grade porcelain, silk and satin sold in the East Market, Xi'anmen Street basically has, and Xi'anmen Street has all kinds of eating, drinking and playing, but the East Market is very few, so that everyone is willing to go to Xi'anmen Street to consume and shop.

Another reason is that the main customers of luxury goods sold in the East Market are the royal relatives and noble officials, since the Jingyuan Mutiny, a large number of imperial relatives and noble officials moved south, and the East Market has encountered variables.

Although Zhu Zhu's nouveau riche high-ranking officials spent lavishly, which made Dongshi hot for a while, this luxury was rootless after all, and it didn't take long for it to become cold, and Dongshi was completely deserted.

But what really gave the East Market a fatal blow was Xi'anmen Street, where the goods were of high quality, the price was close to the people, and it was a small profit but quick turnover, and you could eat, drink and have fun while shopping, which was deeply loved by the middle and upper class people, while the East Market was luxurious, but it pursued huge profits, which was disgusting.

Since last year, the business of the East Market has plummeted, every day is deserted, many shops can't survive, so they can only close down, and the remaining stores are also suffering, looking forward to the spring of the East Market.

On the corner of the porcelain shop, there is a porcelain shop specializing in selling white porcelain, called Wang Xiaobai porcelain shop, which used to be quite famous in Chang'an, but now it is also cold in front of the door, with only one shopkeeper and a few guys in support.

At noon, the door creaked open, and two tall men entered, led by a bearded man.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him, "Welcome to the shop!" ”

These two big men are Wang Yue and his subordinates, they have long been eyeing this porcelain shop, this is an intelligence point set up by Tian Yue in Chang'an, on the surface it looks no different from normal merchants, but they have been collecting information about Chang'an for several years.

Wang Yue also sent people to monitor them, and found that they mainly collected business information, as well as some officialdom personnel changes, and had little to no military involvement.

In order to use this intelligence point in the future, Wang Yue has not been alarmed, but this time the situation is urgent, and he can't take care of it.

"Do you have white porcelain from the official kiln here?" Wang Yue asked.

"Yes, there are, but very few, if there are only one or two guest officers, I can take them, and if there are more, there will be no more, and the small shop mainly operates folk kiln boutiques."

"Xing kiln is no longer supplied to the imperial court, why are official kilns still so scarce?"

"The guest officer doesn't know that the official kiln has been closed for three years, and now all it sells is inventory."

"Why did you stop the kiln?" Wang Yue asked strangely.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "It's not because of the war. ”

Wang Yue nodded, "I want to buy a batch of porcelain, I need the shopkeeper to give me a reference, can you ask the shopkeeper to go to my store to have a look." ”

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Fill the wine!"

The shopkeeper immediately understood, this is also to imitate Meishou wine, since Meishou wine with celadon wine, attracted many wine merchants to follow suit, but then can not sell the price, this trend has gradually subsided, at present there are only Meishou wine and Jiannan Shaochun two good porcelain wine.

The shopkeeper is moved, and there are at least a thousand pieces of wine to be filled! This is a rare big customer.

"Is the house far away? If it's not far away, I can go. ”

"Not far away, at the Gaosheng Inn at the gate."

"That's fine, I'll go with you."

The shopkeeper gave his men an order, and followed Wang Yue out the door.

"What is the proprietor's surname?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Wang Yue smiled, "Don't give your surname Wang, a native of the same state." ”

"It turned out to be the proprietor of the king, and Tongzhou is not far away, isn't it the first time I've come to Chang'an?"

"Of course not, I often come to Chang'an."

"I don't know what Wang Dong wants me to see?"

Wang Yue smiled slightly, "I made a few molds to see if I can burn a batch of white porcelain according to the molds." ”

"That's to take a look, if some things are too tricky, such as animal heads, bird heads, etc., it really can't be burned."

"Not really!"

The three of them came to the Gaosheng Inn, and Wang Yue waved his hand, "Please!" ”

The shopkeeper did not suspect it, and followed Wang Yue directly into the inn, and they came to a single courtyard at the back.

"Shopkeeper Ding, please wait a moment!"

Wang Yue went directly into the house, and the porcelain shopkeeper stood in the courtyard waiting, when several big men appeared behind him, blocking the courtyard door with forked hands.

Shopkeeper Ding suddenly felt bad, and turned around to run, but was grabbed by two big men, one left and one right.

"What are you going to do?"

Shopkeeper Ding shouted anxiously, "Someone-"

Before the words fell, Wang Yue's entourage stepped forward and punched him in the stomach, and the shopkeeper Ding felt that his stomach was overturning, tears and snot flowed out together, and the severe pain made him arch his body like a shrimp.

Two big men put him into the house, which was a contact point for the Jin Wei Mansion, which was temporarily borrowed by Wang Yue.

Wang Yue sat behind a wide table and said coldly: "Ding Jiao, do you think there will be today?" ”

"I don't understand .... What are you talking about? Shopkeeper Ding said with a red face in pain.

Wang Yue made a look, the two big men put him down, and the shopkeeper Ding suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Wang Yue stepped forward, and suddenly said in front of him: "You know who I am, I am Wang Yue, the head of internal affairs, you should have heard of it!" ”

Wang Yue pulled the beard on his chin, revealing a thin face, and Shopkeeper Ding immediately recognized it, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You are Tian Yue's subordinate, you once went to Hexi to buy a war horse, named Li Jiao, and went to Taiyuan to buy a sheepskin, the name is Wang Jiao, it is estimated that this Ding Jiao is not your real name."

Shopkeeper Ding's face was like ashes, and his eyes were full of despair.

Wang Yue said lightly: "You should also know in your heart that once we find out, you will definitely be a dead end, including a few of your buddies, who will not survive, but I want to give you a chance." ”

Shopkeeper Ding shook his head, "You will be disappointed, I am only responsible for exploring trade secrets, and at the same time buying some important materials, it does not involve the military, we all do our own thing, and the spies involved in the military are another group of people, and I have never been in contact." ”

"I'm not talking about you!"

Wang Yue said slowly: "I want to know the situation of Li Wujun's spy. ”

Shopkeeper Ding was stunned, this result surprised him, he hesitated slightly, and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about their situation. ”

Wang Yue's eyes were so sharp, from the slight hesitation of the shopkeeper Ding, he knew that he had the news he wanted.

"Emasculated him!" Wang Yue said coldly.

Two big men lifted him up and pulled his pants off the ground, and one pulled out a sharp knife.

Shopkeeper Ding was so frightened that he said in a loud voice: "I said! I say! ”

Wang Yue snorted and said, "Just say no, do you have to force me to make a move?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang was covered in cold sweat and said in a low voice: "Dingkun Restaurant may be their old nest, I dealt with them once three years ago. ”

"Dingkun Restaurant in Anrenfang?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Yue said: "I'll let you go back first, you just do your business, as long as the content of your investigation does not involve military, I will not embarrass you for the time being, you can do it yourself." ”

"Yes! Be! Shopkeeper Ding agreed.

Wang Yue asked him to follow him back to the store to buy some porcelain, in case he went to ventilate and report the news.

Wang Yue didn't have time to delay, he immediately ordered: "Gather a thousand soldiers at once." ”

.........

A quarter of an hour later, a thousand internal guard soldiers rushed into Anrenfang, surrounded the Dingkun Restaurant near the gate of the fang, three hundred soldiers rushed in to arrest people, now the lunch time has passed, it is the afternoon rest, there are almost no customers in the store, only a private room on the third floor sits a dozen high-spirited scholars.

When the shopkeeper saw the large crowd of soldiers rushing in, he turned and fled to the backyard, and after running a few steps, he was knocked down by the soldiers who caught him up, and several soldiers held him down and tied him with ropes.

More than a dozen men were also captured, and one of them came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in an attempt to break out, but was shot by a dozen arrows and was shot on the spot.

More than a dozen scholars who were eating were escorted downstairs, and one by one they were taken back for investigation and interrogation.

At this time, Wang Yue strode in, and a Lang general knelt down on one knee and reported: "Commander Qiyu, we have received some important information in the shopkeeper's room, and two boxes of gold have been found in the cellar, with Li Wujun's seal on them. ”

The four soldiers brought up two wooden boxes, and the seal read: 'King Zhao sealed, two thousand taels of gold!' So did the other big box.

Wang Yue walked up to the shopkeeper of the restaurant and said coldly: "I shouldn't need to find any more evidence!" ”

The shopkeeper snorted, "I'm law-abiding, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

"It looks like another bastard who doesn't see the coffin and doesn't cry, take them back to the barracks and interrogate them separately."

Wang Yue had no time to grind with them, and he had to torture them to confess the secrets of Tiehuo Lei.
