At the same time, the East Customs

"Our brother came here to do business under the arrangement of the shamanic Shen Protector! Before leaving, the Dharma Protector had instructed that there were four other brothers of his own who acted as internal responders in the Eastern Customs...... After a few days of observation, these four people should be talking about the four of you, right? ”

Lie Yan, the captain of the Thirteen Shamans, was now standing on the edge of the East Customs Tower, talking to a thin and short refugee. The others were pretending to be careless, and they were watching around.

When this 'refugee' saw Lie Yan talking to him, he just stared at the other party with wide eyes, neither answered nor made a move, and let Lie Yan say all the good and bad things again, but he still didn't say anything.

Flame who touched a soft nail frowned, and waved his hand towards the neon behind him:

"Come on...... I'm completely out of options. ”

As soon as Neon heard that Lieyan was going to make his own 'beauty trick', he rolled up his arms and sleeves in front of the refugee dressed as Fourteen, and danced for a long time with a gesture, but without surprise, he still didn't get anything. In the end, it was Yunwu who suddenly sneezed loudly, and this solved the puzzle in front of him.

"Don't bother, these four should all be deaf, and you can't hear them when you say it's out of the sky. I'm already so loud that even if I'm a trained person, as long as I can hear the sudden loud noise, the corners of my hands and feet and eyes will involuntarily tense for a moment; I took a closer look, and the four brothers were all motionless. This kind of concentration is obviously not trained, and it seems that they did not hear it at all. ”

When Lie Yan heard that it was a wasted effort, he spat at the wall in frustration:

"What a deal this is! Sending four deaf people to act as internal responses, what did Shen Gui think about that kid? Forget it, let's go our separate ways. ”

After that, everyone turned their heads, and just as they wanted to leave, they were stopped on the spot by the oncoming master of the Peer Shuaifu:

"I said that I couldn't find anyone after looking for a long time, it turns out that Young Master Huang, you actually ran to the edge of this city tower! How can you be with these coolies in such a noble position? For a walk, the students prepared a table of banquets in the Shuai Mansion, waiting for a few distinguished guests to enjoy it! ”

At this time, Lie Yan's identity was the eldest son of the Huang family, a merchant of medicinal materials from Nankang, who came to the foot of Taibai Mountain in Zhongshan in the north to collect some precious medicinal materials. This is the first time he has picked a beam to do business, and he is full of heart to make this business beautiful, so as to gain a greater voice in the family.

Of course, Nankang does have a big medicinal herb merchant surnamed Huang, and the eldest son Huang Yuan also has his own person, but it is not the one who is in the East Customs.

Now the identity of the Thirteen Shamans in disguise is absolutely plausible. This is still a complete set of 'props' made by Qi Lingyan, who is far away in Nankang, with Shen Gui's help, including the customs clearance document fuse issued by the Ministry of Northern Yan Rites, each set only costs a mere three hundred taels of silver, but the workmanship is exquisite enough to be fake.

The Nankang craftsman promised Qi Lingyan that as long as he took the fuse of the document he forged, even if he sent it directly to the Yamen of the Northern Yan Rite Department in Yanjing City, as long as it was dark, he could pass the test in confusion.

It is only with this quality of 'props' that the defenders in the Eastern Customs will completely believe in these thirteen young merchants who have come from the enemy north.

Facing the master who came to invite him, Lie Yan, who falsely called 'Huangyuan', proudly pulled out the Seiko folding fan from Lin'an, Nankang, and ignored the cool weather, raised his chin high, and replied while fanning the wind:

"Oh? If my brother has such good intentions, then my brother will be disrespectful......" After saying that, he turned his head and shouted at Neon, who was pouting angrily:

"Brother Gaoxian, Brother Zijiang invited me and other brothers to go to the banquet, can Brother Xian go with you?"

Of course, the thirteen shamans disguised themselves as the children of thirteen big merchants in Nankang to go to Youbei to do business. The biggest flaw in this is the neon of the woman's body.

Because of the freedom to follow the teacher to learn martial arts, Neon's complexion and figure are completely different from the ladies in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River; And although Nankang was influenced by the merchant fleets that came and went from all over the country, the folk customs were much more civilized than those of the Northern Yan Dynasty; But after all, it is more than 3,000 miles away from Gusu to Youbei, which is beyond the scope of a woman's activities.

In this way, it is better to be fortunate that a woman disguises herself as a man, and she does not expect to hide from anyone, but just makes a 'reasonable' explanation.

Fortunately, the Gao family, the largest rouge shop in Nankang, also has a young lady who likes bow horses and has a spicy style, named Gao Yukou; As long as Neon is crowned with her name, and then she wears a men's dress, it will not look so dazzling.

Ni Wenyan Hong deliberately cleared her throat loudly, and deliberately suppressed her voice roughly:

"Brother Huang knows that the foolish brother is not strong enough to drink, why is he making fun of Gao at this time? You're going to go and go on your own, I'll stay and see the texture of these Northland stones, and maybe there's anything new to discover......"

A few people were polite back and forth a few times, and finally left Neon, and the other twelve people followed Master Xu to the Shuai Mansion.

"Don't hide it from Brother Huang, now that 100,000 reinforcements from my Beiyan have arrived, we will be able to level the three roads in Youbei and recover the lost territory of my Beiyan. At that time, you will come to Youbei to receive the goods, but it will be much more convenient! ”

After everyone sat down, Master Xu took the lead in speaking. And Liang Jing, the chief officer of the Pingbei Army who had just led the army into the customs, watched coldly from the sidelines without saying a word, and these young people who claimed to be the sons of great medicinal herb merchants.

"We, the Nankang Huang family, have been in business for generations, and we don't know anything about war, and we don't have the slightest interest. However, Huang really wants to know, if Youbei Third Road really returns to the Northern Yan Dynasty, will the commercial tax and road tax of Zhongshan Road be increased or decreased? If I wait to enter Yanjing City on the way back, how much additional city gate taxes and fees will I charge? ”

When these thirteen shamans faced Shen Gui, they looked a little stupid; But after all, he has been walking in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he has been carefully trained by the 'Shamanic Living Dictionary' Bag, so he can't be a stupid person at all. Nowadays, being a well-founded 'liar' is like a fish in water, and none of the questions asked are unreasonable.

Such an extremely decent response, but it was Master Xu's turn to throw out the question: what he said just now was just a casual opening statement. At most, I want to behave in front of Lord Liang Jingliang, I can scam some doubts or promote the medicinal herb business, as long as I can show some ability slightly, then my willingness to do a little effort this time is not in vain. But I didn't expect this Huang Gongzi to really beat the snake with the stick, and asked about the taxes and fees for merchants in Beiyan in the future!

I'm just a little master, and I don't even have a serious official body, so how can I call the shots about the tax affairs of the court! But after all, it was his own beginning, if he said 'hehe, I don't know' at the next time, wouldn't they just pat their butts and leave Donghai Customs directly with the goods? After all, everyone in this group is the descendants of Nankang Fujia, what do you have to say to a little official who can't be the master?

Liang Jing saw that Master Xu was in some trouble, so he frowned for no reason, and suddenly answered:

"In Xia Liang Jing, the word is in the book. He is currently serving as the chief quartermaster of the Pingbei Army. Dear friends of Nankang, now that my army of Northern Yan has been swallowing the three roads of the north, you must have seen it with your own eyes in recent days; Now long live our lord and send an additional 100,000 elite soldiers to the Eastern Customs, so that it will be a matter of time before he recovers the lost territory in the north. You are all the children of businessmen, and you will do business in your mother's womb, and now the war between the two norths has not yet been decided, if you can take precautions, you can send goodwill to my Beiyan Dynasty at this time, then in the future, Guibao will come to my Beiyan territory to do business, and the tax and fee matters can be negotiated and compromised; But if you have the intention of waiting for the price to be sold, and come back after the war is over, the price of the season will be completely different. Oh yes, since I have said this, Liang will first hand out his goodwill to you on behalf of the Northern Yan Dynasty: Within three days, my Northern Yan Dynasty will completely wipe out the ace army of Youbei, the Flying Bear Army. How do you decide, it is best to give Liang a certain answer within three days. ”

After hearing this, Lie Yan only smiled slightly, lightly tapped the wine cup in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand, and then raised the cup and bowed slightly to Liang Jing, and drank it all with his head up:

“…… Huh, Mr. Liang mentioned, don't blame Huang for being too powerful, although my brothers are from a family of businessmen and don't know anything about military and political affairs, but as far as Lord Liang just said, you are only serving as the position of the quartermaster general in this Pingbei army. If there are people in the grain business among us, maybe there is still a possibility of cooperation between us. It's a pity that none of us have a family that runs a grain business, so ...... With all due respect, as you, the chief quartermaster, I'm afraid you won't be able to decide the commercial taxes of the Northern Yan Dynasty......"

When Lie Yan said this, he stood up, looked at Xu and Liang, the two Youbei officials, with disdain, and said with both hands in fists:

"I'm sorry two adults, the goods I bought this time are all 'precious fresh goods', and I can't stand the delay of time, and it just so happens that after three days, you will have to use troops against Youbei. Whether it's for business or for our own safety, we're always planning to leave Donghaiguan! Borrow your wine to toast the two of you, and wish the Northern Yan army a victory! ”

After saying that, Lieyan drained the glass of wine, and then stood up, and even the eleven brothers also stood up with a 'hula', and was about to leave the table......

"Brother Huang Xian, move slowly, Liang still has something to say!"

Liang Jing saw that the other party seemed to have no intention of continuing to talk to him, knowing that it was because he was only a small official in the frontier, this Young Master Huang thought that he couldn't control the affairs of the Beiyan Household Department, so he hurriedly spoke out:

"Although the position in the lower part is not high, the father-in-law of the family can still speak in the household department."

Hearing this, Lie Yan turned around and asked with disdain:

"Oh? Dare to ask Brother Liang, Lord Taishan, what is the official position? ”

Xu Zijiang next to him hurriedly grabbed Bai Dao when he heard this:

"Our Mr. Liang's father-in-law, atoning for his sins, is the king who releases Wang Zuocheng!"

Hearing this, Lie Yan felt that it was almost enough, stretched out the volume and let out a "oh ......", and then looked at the complacent Liang Jing, and put on a satisfied look:

“…… It turned out that Lord Liang was actually the son-in-law of Mu Beigong, which was disrespectful and disrespectful. If that's the case, we might really have some to talk about, some to talk about! ”
