The pine forest ten miles east of Xie Jiaji is well known as a place for black market and smuggling transactions in the Xie Jiaji area, but no one is talking nonsense everywhere, and the local government of the Northern Wei Dynasty actually knows that as long as the items and quantities traded are not too much, and the action is not too excessive, the government will also turn a blind eye, and only by turning a blind eye can there be more inputs, and only by turning a blind eye can there be more inputs, and only by turning a blind eye can there be more income, and can make a fortune in a muffled voice.

The reason why this pine forest is called a pine forest is because most of the trees here are pine trees, and I am afraid that there is an area of thousands of acres.

The ground in the pine forest is very smooth and smooth, and it seems that there is a lot of traffic here on weekdays, otherwise this phenomenon would not have been caused.

Zhao Junsheng rode into the pine forest, the more he walked inside, the more dark and gloomy he felt, the heavier the humidity, and after walking for a while, he found that the ground was a mess, and there were tattered stalls everywhere, and it seemed that someone was still cleaning up.

"It's all cleaned up quickly, and we will continue to do business tomorrow!" A middle-aged man in a strong suit with his hands behind his back urged, but this person scolded again: "I don't know which bastard told the government to send the army, who will dare to come here to trade in the future?" If there is no entry, what will the brothers eat and drink in the future? Damn, if you still let Lao Tzu know who told him, Lao Tzu will definitely kill his whole family! ”

"Big brother, someone is coming!" An attendant reminded the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Zhao Junsheng, who was riding over, looked at him, and asked with a fist: "Xie Changfa, the leader of the Little Snake Gang in Xia Xiejiaji, dare to ask who your Excellency is and what is the matter here?" ”

"The Little Snake Gang?" The corners of Zhao Junsheng's mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, other people's gangs were afraid that their names were not powerful and domineering enough, either the Qinglong Gang, the Tiger Gang, or the Axe Gang, or the Big Knife Gang, this one was good, and he even named the gang the Little Snake Gang.

Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists and said: "My surname is Zhao, I am a nobody, I just want to come to this pine forest to buy something that can't be bought on the market, but why is there no one here?" By the way, on the way down here, I met a large group of cavalry escorting some people to Xie Jiaji, looking at the mess here, could it be that something happened? ”

"It turned out to be Brother Zhao!" Xie Changfa hugged his fists and scolded: "Who said it wasn't, someone was trading a lot of horses here just now, but I don't know which bastard reported it and alarmed the Taishou Mansion." No, the government dispatched a large force of cavalry to arrest both sides of the transaction, and destroyed the market here, and the merchants' business was disrupted, who would stay here? If Brother Zhao needs to buy something, then he has to be early tomorrow! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Which two parties are so bold to trade horses here?" Isn't it safe to trade here on weekdays? How could the government send so many cavalry? ”

Xie Changfa didn't doubt and scruple about Zhao Junsheng's identity, and said: "One side is Hua Mulan from Huajiabao a hundred miles away in the west, have you heard of Mulan's name, who doesn't give him some face in the black and white of the entire Suiyang County?" I didn't expect it to be planted this time, but I'm afraid it's hard to turn over! On the other hand, it seems to be a merchant from Liu Song in the Southern Dynasty, surnamed Tian, has also appeared here many times, mostly buying leather goods and livestock, and sporadically buying some horses, but there has never been such a large number as this time, this surnamed Tian is really cunning and clever, when he saw that the situation was not good, he slipped away on the spot, ran away in the crowd and disappeared, and all the money and horses were gone! ”

"Ran away? Impossible, so a large force of cavalry besieged, where can he run alone? ”

"Hey!" Xie Changfa shook his head and said, "These Southern Dynasty businessmen can engage in smuggling on our side, who doesn't have the ability to run away alive?" Maybe he bought a few cavalrymen with a lot of money on the spot, got out of the way, and ran away! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought that this was very possible, people like Tian Lang were the best at using money to open the way.

After thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng jumped off the horse and walked towards Xie Changfa, hugged his fists and said: "Gang Master Xie, although this Tian Lang ran away, he must still be near Xie Jiaji, after all, the border patrol cavalry of Great Wei is not vegetarian, and it is not so easy for him to leave Great Wei and return to Liu Song without going through normal channels!" It's not a secret, this Tian Lang has a grudge with Zhao, Zhao wants to ask Xie Gang Leader to help his brothers find him, after all, Xie Gang Leader is a local land snake, and any wind and grass on this ground can't hide your eyes, you can make a price! ”

Xie Changfa was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhao Junsheng again, originally thought that Zhao Junsheng just wanted to buy some contraband on the black market, but he didn't expect that this person was here to trouble Tian Lang.

"Brother Zhao, it's not that Xie doesn't give you face, you also know what kind of food Xie eats, as long as the business travelers on the ground of Xie's family are all my Xie Mou's distinguished guests and friends, how can Xie Mou betray guests and friends for a little profit? If this bad reputation spreads, how will Xie mix it up in the future? ”

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward with a spear wrapped in gray cloth and spit out two words: "Two gold, I just need one message!" ”

One news will give two gold, this shot is not extravagant, Xie Changfa's face changed, but then he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry Brother Zhao, Xie is really powerless!" ”

"Hardware!" Zhao Junsheng spit out two words again.

"Brother Zhao, don't embarrass Xie Mou, although Xie Mou is the head snake here, who is Tian Lang? He has been able to operate on the border for so many years unharmed, do you think he is just an ordinary businessman of the Southern Dynasties? People are strong dragons, who doesn't want to earn money? But Xie is worried that he will have his life to take the money and not to spend it! In fact, Xie Changfa was already very moved, but when he thought of Tian Lang's power on the side of the Southern Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel palpitations, and finally gritted his teeth and refused.

Zhao Junsheng stared at Xie Changfa's face, knowing that he was already tempted, and immediately said with a cold face: "One price, ten gold!" God knows this, you know and I know, I just need news! ”

Ten gold, this is a lot, so much that it is far more than the value of one message, and it can even buy multiple lives! Xie Changfa knew that Zhao Junsheng had a lot of money, which also meant that he was determined to get the news, otherwise he would not have offered such a high price.

Refuse? will definitely offend Zhao Junsheng, what is the origin of the other party? Can he afford to be offended? He didn't know anything about Zhao Junsheng, and he was rashly offended, what if this surnamed Zhao was a bigger strong dragon?

After weighing it, Xie Changfa decided to promise Zhao Junsheng first, tell him after finding out the news, and then tell Tian Lang the news that Zhao Junsheng was looking for someone, and then knock a stroke from Tian Lang, so that these two strong dragons can fight to the death.

"Okay, since Brother Zhao is so generous, Xie Mou agreed on behalf of the brothers in the gang! But ······"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the guy with a greedy look, took out a gold cake from his arms and threw it over: "This is a deposit, pay the rest after you get the news!" ”

Xie Changfa grabbed the golden cake and put it in his mouth, bit it, put it in his arms and said, "If there is news, where can I find Brother Zhao?" ”

"I believe that with your strength as a gang leader, you will definitely be able to find Tian Lang's hiding place before dark! After dark, wait for you here! ”

"Okay, see you after dark!" After Xie Changfa finished speaking, he hugged his fists and left with a few of his subordinates.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng suddenly raised his hand, and an embroidery needle suddenly shot out, Xie Changfa felt a numbness in his back, and a piercing pain almost made him faint, he held on the shoulders of one of his subordinates and turned his head, and asked with a very painful face: "······ you What have you done to me? ”
