Seeing that night was falling, Xie Kun stood up and instructed the two guys: "Close the door and prepare to take inventory!" ”

The two guys immediately jumped up, today is the New Year's Pass, after closing the door and taking inventory, they can receive the New Year's bounty, and then go home to reunite with the family.

Xie Kun is a liquor merchant in Guangzhou, and in the past two years, food has become increasingly scarce, and even people like him, who had spent a lot of money to get a liquor license, are almost unable to operate. Because the amount of food that can be provided to them to make wine is getting smaller and smaller every year. Don't look at the jars and jars in his shop are full of wine, but they are basically persimmon wine and some other fruit wines, although they also have a wine taste, but they are too far from the real wine.

If the wine is not good, it will naturally not be sold at a high price.

Naturally, I don't want to make money, but the expenses will not be less. The annual license fee must still be paid, otherwise you are not even allowed to sell fruit wine, all kinds of taxes, and donations, otherwise the government will keep coming to you for trouble.

In the past two years, Xie Kun has been eating his old book.

Many businesses like him, and even some businesses that are stronger than Xie Kun, have long since gone bankrupt and come to an abrupt end, and I don't know where they have gone.

He is Datang's spy in Guangzhou, and he is also the leader in charge of Guangzhou.

The two guys had just installed half of the door panel, but there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, Xie Kun felt a sudden burst in his heart, to be honest, since Wang Yikun's accident, he has been unable to sleep and eat. You need to know that he is one of the people who has the most contact with Wang Yikun, and he was directly under Wang Yikun's leadership before.

If Wang Yikun rebelled, I am afraid that the first batch of people to be arrested will be like him. Here in the Guangzhou court, he can definitely be regarded as a big fish.

Now, as soon as there is such a chaotic and regular footsteps, his heart jumps. The whole family is here! was confirmed as a Datang spy detective, and there were dozens of people in a family, and their heads were about to fall to the ground.

"Huo joins the army!" Looking at the officer who took the lead in breaking in, Xie Kun fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, if he really came to arrest himself, it would not be Huo Chunhuo, who was in charge of logistics, to join the army.

"Shopkeeper, I want all the wine you have here!" Huo Chun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him honestly and unceremoniously immediately began to move the wine in the store out.

"Huo joins the army, these are all fruit wine!" Xie Kun didn't dare to stop it, so he could only smile cautiously: "The taste is not good, it's okay to deceive those villagers, if you take it, won't you blame me when the time comes?" ”

Huo Chun spread his hands: "Xie shopkeeper, do you think the people above will drink this wine?" This is for the soldiers, there is so much exquisiteness, there is a smell of wine, it is enough for them to be happy! This is a grace to the Great General! ”

As soon as Xie Kun heard this, he knew that this matter was not saved: "Huo joined the army, what about this account?" ”

"Write it down!" Huo Chun waved his hand and said, "I'll come back and tie it up with you." You also know that now the state affairs are difficult, and it is common for them to be unable to turn around, but the army must not be neglected. ”

Xie Kun suddenly cried and lost his face, and when he turned around, he didn't know when it would be.

"Huo Senjun, look at my two guys, as well as those wine-making workers, they haven't been paid for half a year, this is the New Year, I can't let people go back empty-handed for the New Year, they are all old people who have been with me for many years, there is no place to put this cheek!"

Huo Chun looked at Xie Kun with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xie, you don't cry poor with me, in the past, you businessmen made a lot of money." ”

"Huo joined the army, every time the general wanted to donate, I did my best." Xie Kun said.

"I know!" Huo Chun said: "It's really ineffective. ”

Quietly pulling Huo Chun aside, Xie Kun said: "Huo joins the army, I still have a jar of old wine hidden at home." ”

Huo Chun's eyes lit up: "Is it the full house you brewed before?" ”

"That's it, dedicated to the army!" Xie Kun said helplessly and painfully.

As he spoke, he called a fellow and whispered a few words.

After a while, the man brought a jar that could hold more than ten catties of wine.

Huo Chun laughed: "Good guy, I know that you still have inventory, thank the shopkeeper, if you don't force you, you still don't know how to honor me?" It's time to honor those big guys! ”

"Where, this is the last altar, I was originally going to drink it for the New Year. Never again. Xie Kun swore with a curse.

"Come on!" Huo Chun waved his hand: "Early tomorrow morning, where do you go to me, I will settle the account for you!" ”

"Thank you Huo for joining the army!" Xie Kun looked grateful and slammed to the ground.

Seeing that a room full of fruit wine had been emptied, Huo Chun promised to settle the bill tomorrow, and the two guys were overjoyed. As long as the bill is settled, it's also a big business anyway.

After sending Huo Chun away, Xie Kun walked back to the cabinet, took out the two big red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, handed them to the two guys who stood at the end and said, "Happy New Year!" Although the year is not good, the year still has to be good. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" The two men happily took the red envelope, and when they touched it, they knew that there were at least five silver dollars inside.

Although the year is difficult, the shopkeeper has always been very generous, at least he has not owed them wages, as for what Xie Kun said to Huo Chun before, in their opinion, it is just a means to complain.

"There are two jars of fruit wine under the counter, you can move back!" Xie Kun waved his hand.

The two guys closed the door panel of the gate first, and then they picked up the wine and went out of the back door happily with red envelopes.

Closing the back door, Xie Kun sighed. He stroked his chest and calmed his breath. It seems that although Wang Yikun, the bastard, ran away, he has not been so mad as to betray his former partner, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. I hope this bastard would have run away for 108,000 miles long ago, so that they would be safe.

Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk. There was a slight rhythmic knock at the back door, Xie Kun was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the back door.

A man in a cloak appeared in front of him, and behind the man, there were several figures.

"Who?"

The person who came pulled down the scarf covering his face, and when he saw those faces, Xie Kun almost screamed, but the other party reacted faster, and covered his mouth with a handful, and the person also stepped in.

"Xie Kun, it's gone!"

As all the visitors entered the courtyard, the visitors let go of their hands and said with a smile.

"General Gao!" Xie Kun took a deep breath, and when he saw it just now, the blood rushed straight to his head, and he really almost fainted.

Gao Xiang Chang, of course he knows. And it will be unforgettable for a lifetime, because the other party's face is really hard to forget as long as you have seen it once.

"Let's go in and talk!" Gao Xiangsheng waved his hand.

Xie Kun nodded again and again, seeing that several people who followed Gao Xiang ascended into the courtyard like ghosts, he was not surprised, and led Gao Xiang straight into the house.

He took out a small jar of wine from a small cabinet, poured a glass and handed it to Gao Xiangsheng.

"Full of drunk, ten years of old wine, have a drink, go to the cold!"

Gao Xiangsheng took the wine, drank it all, and said with a smile: "This time, it's very difficult, right?" ”

Xie Kun's eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears.

"Yes, it's hard. There is no order to retreat, we are really living like a year! ”

"It's done very well, although the days are like years, but valuable information is still being sent out in a steady stream, which still plays a lot of role in the final decision of the imperial court!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "After a while, you will be promoted." ”

Dragged over the chair and asked Gao Xiangsheng to sit down, Xie Kun said: "There is such a big mess in Lingnan, it is good that we are not implicated, and if you say that you are not promoted, General Gao, if you can, I want to go to the north!" I'm really scared enough, I don't say it myself, the key is my wife and children! ”

Gao Xiangsheng was silent for a moment: "I know your difficulties, but at the moment, you can't do without it, after Wang Yikun disappeared, you are the person who is most familiar with this place, so you need to stick to it, and your family can't leave, once you leave, it will attract attention." ”

Xie Kun sat down with a mournful sigh, just drinking sullen wine.

"I'm transferred back to Chang'an!" Gao Xiangsheng slowly tasted the wine and said, "I took Tian Bo's place." ”

Xie Kun's eyes lit up, and then he understood why Gao Xiangsheng said that he could be promoted, and he dared to love the person in front of him, and now he was already the second-in-command of the Intelligence Committee.

"Why are you still risking here?"

"Before I take office, I want to find out Wang Yikun." Gao Xiangsheng snorted coldly. "Whether it's Wang Yikun or you, it's all my old background in the past, this time, he made me lose face and didn't clean up the portal, what face do I have to go back to Chang'an?"

"He's missing, on the ground in Lingnan, I tried my best, but I couldn't find him." Xie Kun shook his head and said: "You also know that the people on this line are looking for him like crazy, this person is not dead, and everyone can't get down." ”

"You said he wasn't in Guangzhou, then he would definitely be gone." Gao Xiangsheng groaned, "Then he only has one place to go." Fujian, Zhangzhou. ”

"I also looked for it in Zhangzhou, but I didn't find it!" Xie Kun shook his head and said.

"Where it must be!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "You are too familiar with Guangzhou and him, he doesn't dare to stay here, but in Zhangzhou, there are fewer people who are familiar with him, with his ability, it is too simple to hide his identity, maybe he started preparing this new identity a few years ago." Only there did he have a chance to escape. ”

"Fleeing overseas?" Xie Kun was taken aback.

"He knows that sooner or later the south will be in our pocket, so if he wants to live, he has to flee overseas." Gao Xiangsheng said coldly. "Next, use your network to check the chamber of commerce in Zhangzhou, especially the chamber of commerce related to shipping!"

"It's impossible for Wang Yikun to show up in public."

"What if he changes his appearance?" Gao Xiangsheng asked rhetorically: "What if he has prepared a new identity and has greatly changed his appearance?" ”

"How is this possible?"

"It's possible, because I've met someone like this a long time ago!" High elephant ascension. "Half a month, is it enough? In the past half month, I will first sort out the things here in Guangzhou. ”
