It's the middle of February, but the weather in the north hasn't warmed up, and the cold wind howls and stirs the dead grass in the wilderness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rivers are only beginning to melt, and most of the trees on the mountains, except for the pines and cypresses, are withered and have no leaves.

The recovery of everything is coming, and the weather is changing every day, and there are a little green shoots on the branches, but it will take some time to fully emerge.

The spring in the north is later than that in Luoyang, Henan.

Luo Zhaoyun's convoy walked for ten days, and finally arrived in the Zhuo County area, on this day, crossed the Laishui River by boat, and met an acquaintance at the Shilipu Pavilion outside Zhuoxian County.

Shi Danai and a few young warriors were waiting here, and after seeing Luo Zhaoyun's convoy, they stepped forward to greet him.

"Young master!" Shi Danai led the people to salute, and the few people behind him were all loyal, selective, and trained to be the liaison leaders of each action group or rudder.

After Luo Zhaoyun got out of the car, he saw Shi Danai and said with some emotion: "The last time I said goodbye, it was six years. ”

Shi Danai is already thirty-six or seventeen-year-old middle-aged man, in the past six years, he has been in Youzhou, helping Luo Zhaoyun to manage the rear force, according to Luo Zhaoyun's ideas, in Youzhou and the surrounding counties, adopt some orphans, training, day by day, six years have passed, when the twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers are now close to adulthood, it is the age that can be reused.

The longer the cultivation time, the stronger the loyalty, after day by day of brainwashing, loyalty to the young master, change the fate, you must make meritorious contributions, there is a gush out, no betrayal, etc., subtly affect the growth of these children.

"Yes, the young master has finally become a pillar of talent, known to the world, I was surprised, although I once felt that the young master was not a thing in the pool, but I never imagined that the young man became famous, and in just a few years, he was a well-known figure in the Great Sui."

"It's all good opportunities that can make you thrive!"

"It is inseparable from the efforts and hard work of the young master!" Shi Danai thought of Luo Zhaoyun, who was eleven years old at the time, how to practice spearmanship hard, a thousand shots a day, rain or shine, that kind of toughness, strict requirements for himself, beyond ordinary people.

"Let's go, it's not early, let's go into the city and talk early."

"Young master, please, in Zhuo County in front, many shops and pavilions are our foothold, this county, the power of my Ning Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated." Shi Danai said with some pride.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, he returned to Zhuo County, this is his base camp, this time he will come back, he will continue to expand his power, infiltrate Anle County in the north, Yuyang County in the northeast, and Beiping County, and lay out in advance.

Entering the ancient city of Zhuoxian, Shi Danai explained to him that the Ning Chamber of Commerce operated three restaurants and teahouses, two grain depots, five jewelry stores, three pawnshops, and cloth shops for two years.

According to the law of Kaihuang, the imperial court is extremely strict in the management of the sale of private goods, and if you sell a stone of private salt, you will be punished by death, and if you smuggle a few catties of tea bricks to the grassland and sell them to the Turks, if you are caught by the government, you will also be beheaded, which is extremely risky.

Unless you are a big merchant or chamber of commerce, and you have obtained a license from the imperial court, then it is a different matter, as long as you pay a lot of taxes and promise not to sell contraband to the Turks and other ethnic groups, such as crossbows, arrows, iron, strings and other military materials that can be used for weapons and warfare, and civilian commodities such as salt and tea, you can still operate, but the imperial court wants to extract high profits from them.

After the Ning's Chamber of Commerce opened all kinds of shops, it gradually affected the living needs of a county, and at the same time, the three religions and nine streams could be contacted, and it could be said that it became a local tycoon.

The convoy entered a large mansion and was going to stay here for the night.

Luo Zhaoyun let the accompanying guards and family members eat and drink, and then rest early, and after arranging the residences of Xiao Yiyi and Gao Yufei, he went to a room alone with Ning Muhe and Shi Danai to talk secretly.

"Regarding the evidence of Meng's evildoing, how many people have been found?"

"The three of them, one is a maid who witnessed someone killing Mrs. Liang's child in Luofu twenty years ago; One is the nurse mother-in-law who assassinated the mother Liu more than ten years ago; There is also a family member who once pushed his son to fall into the lake! ”

Luo Zhaoyun's face sank, and he asked, "How did they all find it, and are they all reliable?" ”

Shi Danai analyzed one by one: "That maid was given a sum of money by Mrs. Meng afterwards, married to a distant place, and was found by us after several twists and turns. ”

"And the grandmother confessed that Mrs. Liu was infected with the wind cold on the way, and there was Lang Zhong with her at that time, but the decoction that Meng asked Lang Zhong to prescribe did not resolve the disease of wind and cold, which was specious, not only did the condition not improve, but accelerated the condition, and the toxicity of the medicine could not be found afterwards, which caused Mrs. Liu's wind and cold to worsen, and finally the high fever did not go away, and she was treated harshly, and then she died."

"As for the nurse housekeeper, he is the brother of Mrs. Meng's personal maid, and afterwards he divided a sum of money, left Luo's mansion, and said to the Luo family steward that he went back to his hometown to marry, but as a result, he gambled and lost all his money, and when he came back again and planned to ask for some more money, he was discovered by us and controlled."

After hearing this, Luo Zhaoyun had anger on his face, his face was a little murderous and majestic, his eyes were cold, and he snorted coldly: "This poisonous woman with a femme fatale heart must get the retribution she deserves, let her be ruined, expel her from Luo's mansion, and deal with it according to the law of the emperor!" ”

Shi Danai worried: "I'm afraid that Luo Gong is a good face, and I don't want my family to be ugly!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun said coldly: "Then I have to be served by the family law, I must not let her continue to get away with it, if my father really doesn't know right from wrong and can't be ruthless, I have to use my own means." (To be continued.) )
