"This time I feel that something is not quite right," the businessman surnamed Lu shook his head: "I can't tell what's going on, it's just a feeling." Maybe I'm worried, but hopefully things turn out as you expect! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm worried." The merchant surnamed Sun picked up the wine glass, and after drinking it with the merchant surnamed Lu, his voice became a little louder: "I don't bother to think about it anymore, now I can earn some points." It's stupid to have a cheap ×, hehe. By the way, I heard that you hooked up with a red corner in Jiangnan Lane in Licheng again, how about it? Didn't toss your old bones apart? ”

"Fuck you, you're falling apart! Lao Tzu is in the middle of the year, and the night before yesterday, Jin Ge Iron Horse, sang all the way to dawn. "When it comes to this kind of thing, no man is willing to lag behind. Next, the topic of the two turned to Fenghua Xueyue, and they did not talk about business anymore.

Song Zheng was taken aback when he heard this. Daqi and Dajin, since the great war in the time of Taizong, have negotiated peace and set up a trading field with each other. However, due to the fact that the relationship between Qi and Jin has not been so harmonious in these years, the scale of the field is not large, and many items in the Great Qi Dynasty are forbidden to trade, such as grain, salt, horses, medicinal herbs, and some books on "Gewu". Even for items that are allowed to be traded, the taxes are onerous, almost double the actual price. Because of this, smuggling at the border is very well developed. Although Daqi implemented cruel laws such as clan punishment and joint sitting against smuggling, due to the high profits, it was repeatedly banned. As far as Shandong Road is concerned, due to the gradual widening of the Yellow River and the steady water potential, many people and traders along the Yellow River often secretly travel between Qi and Jin, transporting goods across the river. After killing a number of people, some smugglers began to bribe the generals of the defending army along the Shandong Road to blatantly smuggle goods.

Generally speaking, winter is the peak of smuggled goods. At that time, the Yellow River was frozen, and it was convenient to come and go, and you could cross the river by finding a random place. It is said that now is not a good time for smuggling, but Song Zheng heard from the conversation between Sun and Lu that smuggling seems to have been extremely active recently. Of course, what shocked Song Zheng was not the size of the smuggling scale, but the sudden increase in the price of smuggled goods. Song Zheng knew that the market was the most obvious weather vane, and it was someone who suddenly ate a large amount of goods that could cause someone to suddenly eat so many medicinal materials? Combined with the previous news, Song Zheng could almost immediately conclude that Dajin was preparing for a southern invasion. These herbs were purchased precisely for the treatment of the wounded who might arise.

As for raw silk, if it is expected to be good, it should be affected by the overall market, and the price has been pulled up a little, so the increase is not large.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Engage in some smuggling, get some welfare, that's nothing. But white medicine can be said to be a strategic material, and giving the green light to smuggle these things is undoubtedly a traitor. It is said that these border generals should know the stakes of the matter, and once the war breaks out, will they be able to end well? Why is it so short-sighted, reselling things that are in demand to the enemy?

Ming'er and Yang Tong didn't have such good ear power, and their energy was not on this, so they didn't hear the whispers of the two businessmen clearly. However, Yang Tong, who was sitting opposite Song Zheng, found that Song Zheng's face was not very good-looking, and hurriedly asked, "Little brother, what's wrong?" ”

Song Zheng shook his head and drank all the wine in front of him.

Just when Song Zheng was depressed, there were suddenly a few dogs barking on the street outside, and then the crowd suddenly became chaotic, and someone shouted, "The horse is shocked!" Flash away. Immediately after, there were cries and the sound of chaotic objects falling to the ground. Song Zheng and the other three were busy looking outside, only to see a carriage running from east to west on the street. There were three horses in front of the carriage, and a chestnut horse at the head was galloping wildly, and the horse holster on his body was messed up and stuck between the legs of the chestnut horse. Under the influence of the chestnut horse, the two black horses behind it were also frightened, but not as wild as the chestnut horse.

In the carriage behind the startled horse, there were two women. Judging from the dress, it is a master and servant. The two of them are beautiful and good-looking. In particular, the young lady on the left, about sixteen or seventeen years old, has fair skin, a high nose, round almond eyes, and long eyelashes that can be seen from afar. Although the young lady was dressed quietly, she did not have much panic in the face of the frightened horse, and the face of the person dressed as a girl was a little pale. At this time, the master and servant were each with a rein, and they were trying to control the direction of the carriage. Since there were not many people on the street at noon, with the control of the master and servant, and the constant shouting of people to attract the attention of passers-by, it was miraculous that a few pedestrians were not injured.

Further behind the carriage, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar, a middle-aged scribe, and four strong men all followed the carriage. Because the carriage was swaying and there were dodging pedestrians on both sides of the street, the anxious scholar never had a chance to run to the front of the carriage. Only helplessly shouted, "Quick, stop the carriage!" "However, the horse is already amazing, which ordinary person dares to intercept it? I had to let it gallop forward.

It's too late, it's too soon. The carriage was almost downstairs in the blink of an eye, and Song Zheng saw that there were several children more than ten zhang west of the street, and they were chasing more than a dozen dragonflies with brooms at noon. The dragonflies flew up and down, and the children were holding brooms and tilting their heads, not paying the slightest attention to the impending danger.

Song Zheng didn't dare to slack off, he saw the direction of the carriage, immediately kicked the ground with his left foot, jumped up, and then jumped out of the window with his right foot on the table, and actually had a pair of chopsticks for picking vegetables on his right hand. Ming'er and Yang Tong exclaimed at the same time, hurriedly stood up, and looked out. I saw that when Song Zheng was still more than a zhang high from the ground, the chestnut horse happened to arrive. Song Zheng toed the horse's head, twisted his body in the air, adjusted, and then rode on the horse's back.

The horse was kicked on the head by Song Zheng, and immediately lowered its head suddenly, and when it raised its head again, it felt that there was one more person on its back, and it was about to go crazy. However, at this time, Song Zheng grabbed the horse's mane with his left hand, leaned down, and moved forward more than a foot. His right hand was raised on the side of the horse's head, and his clenched chopsticks were quickly thrust horizontally. The bamboo chopsticks were inserted deep into the maroon horse's skull along the horse's ears. The chestnut horse was hit by this, and went forward six or seven steps, his head hit the ground directly, breaking his neck, and the horse's body twisted horizontally, blocking the two black horses behind him.

Song Zheng on the horse held the horse's mane with both hands, and at the moment of touching the ground, he took advantage of the momentum to roll forward six or seven heels, and jumped up on the side of a child. Song Zheng hugged the child and ran a few steps to the side of the street before standing still. (The second one is a little late, hehe, but it won't be less)
