Knowing that Su Yi sent someone to spy on him, a trace of worry rose in Zhang Shumo's heart, and he didn't know when Su Yi started to spy on him, I don't know if Su Yi knew about what Zhu Qing and his son had been here yesterday, and even more, would Zhu Qing and his son be sent by Su Yi to test him?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but be a little afraid, it seems that he will have to be more careful in his actions in the future! So Zhang Shumo told Lu Li about Zhu Qing's father and son, and expressed his worries.

After hearing this, Lu Li slapped the table and stood up: "It's not easy, I'll go and investigate if this Zhu Qing father and son have a relationship with Su Yi!" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "In case Zhu Qing's father and son really come to join us, you rashly go to investigate, wouldn't you tell Su Yi that Zhu Qing's father and son have dealings with us?" After speaking, Zhang Shumo pondered for a moment and showed a smile: "It seems that we have to put on a play for General Su to dispel his suspicions!" ”

A moment later, Zhang Shumo and Lu Li Hu Kun went out together and walked around the street. When they saw a slightly larger shop, they went in to find the shopkeeper, and they would come out after talking, so they wandered around the shops one by one, and soon came to Zhu Qing's grain shop.

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Kun shouted directly according to his previous routine: "Are you in charge?" It's time for a big deal! ”

shouted like this, and the guy hurriedly found Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing saw that Zhang Shumo hadn't saluted yet, and Zhang Shumo took the lead and said, "You are the one in charge?" I have a deal here that you are interested in? ”

Zhu Qing looked confused, why didn't he know himself after a day in this chapter of Shumo? When he was wondering, Zhu Qing saw Zhang Shumo winking at him, Zhu Qing immediately understood that there was another hidden secret, and quickly answered: "Yes! As long as it's a profitable business, I'm interested, there are a lot of people here, let's talk about it! ”

Several people entered the inner room, and Zhu Qing deliberately looked behind him, and closed the door after confirming that there was no one.

"Master Zhang, what was the secret just now?"

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Boss Zhu smiled, I remembered that there were some things that were not explained yesterday, so I wanted to talk to Boss Zhu again, but there were so many people just now, I can't say it clearly, right?" ”

Zhu Qing nodded: "So that's the case!" I wonder what the adults have to instruct? ”

Zhang Shumo deliberately glanced at Zhu Qing a few times, and then said unhurriedly: "Boss Zhu, you must know that this matter of buying an official is a big rebellion, so you must keep it secret!" ”

Zhu Qing hurriedly nodded: "When I woke up, no third person knew about this matter except for me and the dog!" ”

"Well, that's good! I still have some trivial things this time, since I want Zhu Gongzi to be the captain, I have to let Zhu Gongzi adapt in advance, so I want Zhu Gongzi to come to me in advance to study a thing or two, I don't know if Boss Zhu has any objections? ”

Zhu Qing hurriedly thanked: "It is his blessing that the dog can learn one or two by the side of the adult, how dare he have any objections, I will call the dog!" ”

Seeing Zhu Qing's performance, Zhang Shumo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He deliberately used the excuse of keeping Zhu Man by his side, just to make Zhu Man a hostage in his hands, so that Zhu Qing would have to consider what bad intentions he dared to play. However, since Zhu Qing summoned Zhu Man without hesitation, it means that he is not a spy sent by Su Yi.

After a while, Zhu Man trotted all the way to the house, Zhu Qing explained Zhang Shumo's intention, and Zhu Man didn't dare to complain, so he had to agree to study with Zhang Shumo. Then Zhang Shumo and Zhu Qing agreed on the specific details of how to hand over the money and grain, and finally the two decided to hand over the money and grain under the cover of partnership trading!

After everything was discussed, Lu Li couldn't help but ask: "Since we said that we want to do business in partnership, we have to choose a deal to do, right?" ”

Zhang Shumo looked around, and his eyes stopped on Zhu Man: "It's better to do business related to fighting crickets!" ”

At night, a spy entered the General's Mansion to report the situation to Su Yi: "General, Zhang Shumo went to the street today to discuss business with people. He asked more than a dozen families in a row, but they were all refused, and finally the Zhu family, who sold grain, agreed to partner with him. ”

Su Yi raised his eyebrows: "Is he going to buy grain?" ”

"According to the inquiries of his subordinates, he wants to partner with the Zhu family to do the business of fighting crickets."

"Fighting crickets?" Su Yi also looked puzzled, bit his lip and thought for a long time, and then asked, "Has the situation of the Zhu family been investigated?" ”

"I found it out, the ancestors of the Zhu family have sold grain in the city for several generations, and they are all from their own families, and the courtyard where Zhang Shumo lives now occupies the Zhu family, and the Zhu family has nothing to do with Zhang Shumo in other aspects. And the subordinates also found out that Zhu Qing's son Zhu Man really likes to fight crickets very much, and Zhang Shumo also often fought crickets when he was in Qinghua City, and it is possible that they are really partners in the business of fighting crickets. ”

Su Yi narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and said to himself: "Zhang Shumo, did you deliberately act for me?" ”

After the spies retreated, Su Yi recruited Qin Sheng into the mansion: "Lord Qin, I heard that Zhang Shumo went to the streets to wander around today, it seems that his injury is not in the way, but why is he unwilling to come to the Cao Yuan to take office?" ”

After hearing this, the corners of Qin Sheng's mouth twitched twice, and he thought to himself: You have belittled Zhang Shumo so badly, it would be strange if he was willing to come to work for you! Although he thought so in his heart, Qin Sheng pretended not to know: "It's not clear here, Zhang Shumo is acting grotesquely, and his mind is not easy to guess." ”

"In that case, tomorrow I will trouble Lord Qin to go on a trip in person to ask Zhang Shumo to come to the Cao Yuan to take office, I want to see what kind of attitude he has!"

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Qing sent Zhu Man to Zhang Shumo's mansion and asked his son to study with Zhang Shumo. Zhang Shumo looked at Zhu Man, who was reluctant, and scratched his head, he couldn't teach him nothing, or he would be exposed. After thinking about it, Zhang Shumo waved his hand and asked Zhu Man to follow Hu Kun to practice martial arts.

Looking at Zhu Man with a sad face, Zhang Shumo patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You will be a general in the future, and you won't be a general at all?" ”

Zhu Man didn't dare to resist, and followed Hu Kun to practice martial arts. Zhang Shumo discussed with Lu Li the location of the Tibetan soldiers and related matters, if you want to recruit troops, you must first build a stockade in the place where the troops are hidden, and a stockade that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is not a small project, in order to save time, everything has to be speeded up.

The two were discussing when the guards at the door came to report that Qin Sheng had asked to see him. Zhang Shumo hurriedly let Zhu Man into the house, and the two pretended to discuss the sale, and then invited Qin Sheng in.

As soon as Qin Sheng came, Zhang Shumo let the others go out first, and then asked, "Why is Mr. Qin here?" ”

"I'll take a look at Shumo Xiaoyou's injury, it seems to be almost better, right?"

Zhang Shumo smiled: "That's right, it's basically cured!" ”。

Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Shumo to admit it so happily, so he didn't beat around the bush anymore: "In this case, Xiaoyou is unwilling to go to the Cao Yuan to serve, does he have a grudge against General Su?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Can't Mr. Qin see it?" I'm acting for General Su! ”
