Three days later, Zhang Qiuzhen.

Liu Juntao and Tang Yu walked side by side on the street, looking around, only to see that both sides of the street were full of shouting and selling, all kinds of shops one after another, and the guys were selling their own goods hard, making the streets of Zhang Qiuzhen full of a smell of silver.

Xu Ping and Cui Ning followed behind Liu Juntao and Tang Yu, and they also kept observing the scene around them, the two looked very carefully, and discussed with each other from time to time.

Unlike Liu Juntao and Tang Yu, both of them observe the surrounding shops from the perspective of business.

Xu Ping is observing where the store can be operated and which store is doing better; Cui Ning, on the other hand, focused on the dazzling array of goods, constantly calculating in his heart that those goods could be sold to the north, and those goods could be hoarded to make a lot of money.

Behind everyone, Zhou Zongsheng took twenty-one guards to follow slowly, Zhou Zongsheng and all the guards were leading horses and walking, walking on the street was very eye-catching.

At this time, the eyes of Zhou Zongsheng and other guards kept scanning the surroundings, carefully observing every passing pedestrian around, for fear that Liu Juntao and the others would be scattered by the crowded crowd and have an accident.

Especially worried that the people and horses of the Chen family will suddenly make trouble in the crowd, it will be a bad thing!

But fortunately, everyone has been walking all the way for almost half a day, and there have been no accidents.

"Mr. Lian, you see, that is the most prosperous place in Zhangqiu Town, there are six or seven taverns and inns alone, in addition to warehouses, shops, etc., most of the merchants passing on the Grand Canal will rest and play here for a few days."

"And over there, it's amazing, it can be called the happy forest in Zhangqiu Town, there are three or four green buildings and countless half-closed doors (secret prostitutes), there are no less than ten gambling houses, and many boat guys and passing merchants on the canal are willing to spend money for entertainment."

Along the way, listening to Tang Yu's introduction, Liu Juntao kept the situation in Zhang Qiu Town in mind one by one, and took advantage of the interval between words to say to Tang Yu: "I guess, the illegal salt transaction in Zhang Qiu Town is also on the side of Happy Forest, right?" ”

Tang Yu nodded yes, pointed to the happy forest and said, "Mr. Lian is right!" is not only the private salt business, but also human trafficking, murder and murder, forcing good people to become prostitutes, putting money in prints, etc., as long as it is a shady business, it is basically on the side of Happy Forest! ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he didn't say anything, but secretly said in his heart: "I just don't know if there is a Jiang Men God over there!" ”

While talking, Liu Juntao and his entourage came to the door of a leather shop.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao wanted to go in to see what good leather goods there were, and to buy some back for Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui and others, especially if he wanted to pick a fur collar for Guo Muying.

At this moment, two guys who were greeting merchants outside the door saw Liu Juntao and the others, and their faces suddenly changed, and their hands and feet stopped involuntarily. The two glanced at each other, turned around and ran back in unison, and even the merchants at the door were left aside.

Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and stopped in place at the same time. And Zhou Zongsheng behind him was even more vigilant, and secretly signaled the twenty-one guards around him to be on guard, and protected Liu Juntao, Tang Yu, Cui Ning, and Xu Ping.

"There's a problem with this leather shop! Do they know what they are going to do? ”

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know!" However, Steward Liu should know something, after all, he came over a few days in advance. It's just that I don't know where Steward Liu went at this time, or I should send someone to find it? ”

Liu Juntao nodded, and was about to send someone to find Liu Zi'an, when he turned his head and suddenly saw Liu Zi'an walking out of a small alley, and after discovering Liu Juntao and others, he immediately walked through the crowd and came to Liu Juntao's side.

"Mr. Lian, how did you get here? I've been looking for it for a long time! ”

Liu Juntao smiled, said hard work, then pointed to the leather shop in front of him and asked, "Do you know the details of this shop?" ”

Liu Zi'an frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qi Lian, I was about to report this matter to you: this shop is the Chen family's property!" ”

"What!"

Tang Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and Zhou Zongsheng next to him became even more cautious when he heard this, and kept signaling Liu Juntao to leave here first.

Liu Juntao also frowned, he didn't expect that the Chen family had already stretched out their hands to this Zhang Qiu Town, it seemed that the Chen family was determined to rush into Yanzhou Mansion!

"Does the Chen family have any other properties in Zhangqiu Town? What kind of business are they all doing? I want to know the whole picture! ”

Liu Zi'an shook his head and said, "Mr. Lian, this is the only Chen family industry in Zhangqiu Town!" And this so-called leather shop is not a serious shop, but a stake that the Chen family ushered in in Zhangqiu Town! ”

Liu Juntao immediately understood after hearing this, this leather shop is the Chen family's eyeliner in this autumn town, and at the same time, it also entertains some friends of the Chen family and other characters, and more importantly, it is for the Chen family to rush into Yanzhou Mansion!

Liu Juntao pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how much of this eyeliner of the Chen family is in Zhang Qiuzhen?" Did you plant some stakes elsewhere as well? ”

"There is only this place, the Chen family does not seem to have any intention of taking this Qiu Town as their own territory, nor is it ready to further develop elsewhere, after defeating my Liu family, there will be no new moves, just using this as an eyeliner inserted into the interior of Yanzhou Mansion."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zi'an also frowned, took a deep breath, and said: "Mr. Lian, to be honest, I still can't figure out what the head of the Chen family, Chen Herui, is having. It stands to reason that after defeating my Liu family, we should enter Yanzhou Mansion in a big way, instead of giving our Yushan Ji a chance to breathe! The Chen family hesitated like this, but it made me hesitate a little! ”

After listening, Liu Juntao pondered for a while and said, "I understand! Maybe something happened within the Chen family, let's take it one step at a time! ”

At this time, Liu Zi'an glanced at the leather store, and vaguely saw that a few people were hiding in the window and looking outside, so he said: "Mr. Lian, let's go look elsewhere." ”

Tang Yu also said: "Yes, Mr. Lian, let's relax today first, and we can deal with the Chen family tomorrow." ”

And Zhou Zongsheng was even more eager for Liu Juntao to leave here quickly, for fear that the Chen family would rush out of the leather shop.

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "It's almost noon, let's go back to the inn first." ”

After that, Liu Juntao pointed at Tang Yu with a smile and said: "Today, we are accompanying Steward Tang to inspect Zhang Qiuzhen, and Steward Tang must pay for the wine and food at noon today!" ”

After speaking, Liu Zi'an, Cui Ning, Xu Ping and others all laughed, and even Zhou Zongsheng and other personal guards frequently coaxed, shouting that they wanted to eat a big meal, and if they had good wine and good food, they would let Tang Yu get back to blood.

Tang Yu also laughed and agreed, and said, "Okay! Let's have a great meal today! ”

It didn't take long for Liu Juntao and his entourage to return to the inn.

This inn was found by Liu Zi'an in advance, and the whole inn was chartered, and there were no other guests except Liu Juntao and his party.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Yu said with a smile: "Little Er! What are the best drinks and dishes you have here! ”

Seeing this, the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth grinned to the edge of his ears, and he said loudly: "It's here!" A few distinguished guests inside please! ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper ran over extremely attentively and invited Liu Juntao and the others to the private room upstairs.

Liu Juntao, Tang Yu and others can relax and eat and drink at this time, but Zhou Zongsheng and other personal guards can't do this.

After Liu Juntao and the others followed the shopkeeper upstairs, Zhou Zongsheng arranged for his guards to guard the front and back doors of the inn, and guarded the rooms of Liu Juntao and others.

In addition, Zhou Zongsheng also specially arranged for two guards to rush to the kitchen and stare at the cook in the inn to make a fire and cook.

After that, Zhou Zongsheng took the remaining four to the door of Liu Juntao and others' private room to guard, Zhou Zongsheng pushed the door in by himself, and poured wine and cloth dishes for Liu Juntao, Tang Yu, Liu Zi'an, Cui Ning, and Xu Ping.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Juntao, Tang Yu and others talked about the future development of Zhang Qiuzhen at the wine table.

Liu Juntao proposed that after the relationship with the Chen family was stable, the Ministry of Commerce would send men and horses into Zhangqiu Town, and if necessary, the Yushan Guards would also provide some help.

"Zhang Qiuzhen will be the next cash cow of our Ministry of Commerce, and we must gain a foothold here as soon as possible!"

Listening to Liu Juntao's plan, Tang Yu, Cui Ning, and Xu Ping's hearts were full of excitement, and they were also full of confidence in the future development of the Ministry of Commerce.

At this time, in the hearts of the three of them, as long as they have Liu Juntao's full support, Zhang Qiuzhen is like a cash cow, waiting for the people from the Ministry of Commerce to immediately shake it!

On the side, Liu Zi'an is also able to listen to it, the development of Yushanji is so rapid, even the Chen family has to compromise temporarily, it seems that his choice is right!

"I believe that it won't be long before Mr. Lian will have the strength to start a war against the Chen family! At that time, I must appreciate Chen Herui's ugly face! ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Zhou Zongsheng stepped forward, opened the door a crack, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Captain Qiyu, the Chen family has found it!"

Zhou Zongsheng was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "How many people are from the Chen family?" Have you brought a weapon! ”

"There were three men who came, and they didn't bring any weapons. One of them claimed to be the Chen family's housekeeper named Xu He! ”

Zhou Zongsheng looked back at Liu Juntao when he heard this, only to see Liu Juntao sneer, and said: "It seems that the Chen family's eyeliner is still quite useful, not only recognized us, but also found here?" ”

"Mr. Lian!"

Everyone looked at Liu Juntao.

"Since everyone has taken the initiative to come to the door, then let's treat each other politely!"
