After Lan Ziyi and Cao Jinbao settled the matter, the progress of the banquet became very fast. The rest of the things are nothing more than drinking wine and eating meat, chatting nonsense from all over the world. After waiting for the wine and food, Lan Ziyi and his party said goodbye to Cao Jinbao and set off to reply.

Everyone came out of Cao Jinbao Tower, and there were already Cao family servants leading horses to guard the door, Lan Ziyi and they took the reins, rolled the saddle and got on the horse, and then rode back.

There are already a lot of pedestrians on the street in the morning, and the street becomes even more bustling when you return in the afternoon. Lan Ziyi looked at the pedestrians on the street, and then looked at the pawnshops and shops on both sides of the dense street, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"I thought that my family's business was already very big, but when I saw Cao Jinbao today, I knew what it means to be rich and rival the country."

Dugu Leopard, who was riding a horse and accompanying Lan Ziyi, heard this:

"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, so the little business under the Dai Gong is not enough for the surname Cao."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"In that case, why is Boss Cao still so ...... in front of my family What about humility? “

Dugu Leopard smiled:

"What can he do if he is not humble? Do you still want to be arrogant? No matter how big his business is, Cao Jinbao is just a businessman after all, if there is no one in the court to support him, how can he keep the silver he has earned over the years? I don't know how many people in the world are staring at Cao Jinbao and want to slaughter him and eat the meat. “

Lan Ziyi thought about it, nodded and said:

"Makes sense."

Dugu Leopard Road:

Moreover, a large part of his business was outside the Saibei area, and he and a few other merchants controlled the trade routes leading to the northern part of the country and the Tessie. The outside of the Saiwai is full of nomadic tribes, who can keep his business prosperous without relying on his acting father? “

Lan Ziyi said:

"Didn't I think Saiwai and Tessie were all surrounded by inconsiderateness? How can there be a trade route. “

Dugu Leopard smiled when he heard this:

"Wei Hou, there are many things in this world that you don't know yet. The imperial court just doesn't let people know about the outside world, which doesn't mean that there is no world outside. “

Dugu Leopard said to take the first step, and Lan Ziyi stayed behind thoughtfully, he had been in Luoyan Pass for more than ten years, why had he never heard of the story of the outside world?

At this time, Qiu Wenruo suddenly spoke:

"I still don't understand why Cao Jinbao proposed such a condition to Wei Hou today, the condition of monopolizing the silver ticket is easy to understand, and it is unbelievable for the court to ask him to borrow money."

Qiu Xiaozhi also touched his chin and thought:

"Indeed, if Cao Jinbao's family can monopolize the silver tickets of Quan Dazheng, then in the future, even if other money banks have silver, they will not be able to make payments in other places, and in the end, everyone can only deposit the silver to Cao Jinbao. But let the court ask him to borrow money, it's incomprehensible, he's just a businessman, what if the court asks him to borrow money and doesn't pay him back? “

Lan Ziyi said:

"Since we can't figure it out, we don't have to think about it, how can we possibly figure out how he thinks about it as a businessman. Anyway, it didn't hurt us to do anything, and if we promised him, we agreed, and it didn't matter. “

Hearing this, Yueshan interjected:

"Wei Hou is really courageous."

Yue'er's flattery jumped above her, and Qiu Wenruo and Qiu Xiaozhi both looked disdainful when they heard it. Fortunately, Lan Ziyi was not fluttering because of Yue'er's words, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly:

"Where is this courage, this is obviously powerless, Yue'er don't laugh at me."

Yue'er hid her face and laughed when she heard this, and the father and son of the Qiu family also nodded in approval when they heard what Lan Ziyi said, and the group walked towards the palace with a smile.

Originally, Lan Ziyi thought that there was nothing else to do today, and he could go back to read a book at night, and then play with Yue'er to rest. It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and Lan Ziyi met a troublesome character halfway home.

The group walked along the river, walked to the east of Tianjie, and was about to turn west to walk in the direction of the palace, when Du Jing led the city patrol catchers from the opposite side of the street.

As soon as he met Du Jing, Lan Ziyi felt a cramping pain in his stomach, and bumped into this person, don't think about walking away easily today. Yue'er snorted even more:

"Why is this person again, it's really unlucky!"

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"It's not that enemies don't get together, it's fate to go out and meet, there's no way."

Lan Ziyi could see Du Jing, and Du Jing naturally saw Lan Ziyi, and under the leadership of Du Jing, the group immediately walked through the street towards Lan Ziyi and them.

Du Jing and the catchers did not ride horses, and after coming to Lan Ziyi, Du Jing could only look up at Lan Ziyi, who was half a position above him. However, Du Jing himself was still very polite, he stopped in front of Lan Ziyima, hugged his fists and greeted:

"Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi knew that he couldn't pretend not to see, so he clasped his fists on the horse and replied:

"I'm not riding a horse by the ditch this time, and it makes no sense for Du Zhutou to stop me."

Du Jing replied:

"There is a Royal Forest Army around the ditch, and it is not my turn to intervene. I came to Wei Hou to talk to Wei Hou. “

Lan Ziyi said:

"I don't have much to talk to you about."

Saying that, Lan Ziyi reined in and planned to bypass Du Jing and leave forcibly. Seeing this, Du Jing hurriedly stepped forward to block Lan Ziyi's way, and he said:

"Of course Wei Hou and I have something to talk about, has Wei Hou forgotten about what happened with Dong Gongzi that night?"

As soon as Du Jing's words came out, not only Lan Ziyi, but everyone who accompanied him vibrated in their hearts. At this time, Dugu Leopard, who was walking in front, did not wait for the people behind him for a long time, so he rode his horse and rushed back, Lan Ziyi saw Dugu Leopard coming, afraid that he was in conflict with Du Jing, so he ordered the father and son of the enemy family behind him and Yue'er:

"You go back to the house with Uncle Leopard first, and I'll talk to Du Zhutou."

Saying that, Lan Ziyi turned over and dismounted, and he said to Du Jing:

"Let's go, Master Du, you pick a place and we'll talk."

Du Jing looked at Lan Ziyi, then at the person behind Lan Ziyi, and then turned back and gave his own person a look. After receiving instructions, the many trappers who came with Du Jing immediately divided into several teams to patrol separately, leaving Du Jing alone. After Dugu Leopard came over there, he heard Lan Ziyi's last words, and then looked at Du Jing and those catchers, knowing that it was not good to meddle in this matter at will today, so he took the others and walked away quietly.

After the relevant people finished walking, only Lan Ziyi and Du Jing were buried in the crowd on the street, Du Jing opened his mouth and said:

"Wei Hou, I just want to talk to you, since you want to go back to the house, why don't I accompany you for a while?"

Since Du Jing said that he would accompany Lan Ziyi on the way home, there is no need for Lan Ziyi to be polite. When Lan Ziyi heard this, he led the horse away, and he didn't care what Du Jing planned to do on the side.

After Lan Ziyi walked away, Du Jing quickly followed, only to hear Du Jing say:

"I heard that Wei Hou ransomed people from the Zhaozi Building?"

Lan Ziyi thought that Du Jing was going to ask Dong Sixian about family affection, but he didn't expect Du Jing to ask about Zhaozilou. To Du Jing's question, Lan Ziyi answered in silence, and Du Jing continued:

"I know that Wei Hou has prejudices against me and my brother, but one yard is one yard, and the villain wants to see the person redeemed by Wei Hou."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi turned his head and said:

"If it's really one yard to one yard, why does Du Zhutou have to pester me and my eldest brother? Can't you just let me go? ”

When Du Jing heard this, he said:

"The villain has no intention of pestering Wei Hou, it's just that there is a problem with the Zhao's son-in-law building, I suspect that there is human trafficking in that building, and the person redeemed by Wei Hou is precisely the best clue I have been tracking for so long."
