Chapter 52: The Xuanmen Hyogo
"Wait......" Su Lian suddenly remembered something, Huo Di stood up and asked, "What did you just say you do?" ”
Su Lian was in a hurry, speaking a little loudly, and stood up to ask again, which attracted a sideways look from the surrounding guests, and also frightened Jiang Zhihe, not knowing what he said wrong, and snorted: "Contemptible...... The ...... of crafting weapons"
Seeing his reaction, Su Lian glanced around again, realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly sat down, smiled apologetically at Jiang Zhihe, and said gently: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper Jiang, please sit ......"
Taking pictures of Su Lian's majesty just now, Jiang Zhihe still shrank a little, laughed dryly, and sat down tremblingly.
"I was in a hurry just now, and I was a little out of shape, forgive me Shopkeeper Jiang!" Su Lian eased up first and said with a smile.
"Where is it......" Jiang Zhihe said dryly before he could recover from it.
"I want to ask clearly, where is the shopkeeper Jiang?" Su Lian asked with Yan Yuese.
"Contemptible...... It's the town of Xizi...... Gento Hyogo...... Shopkeeper......" Jiang Zhihe replied cautiously, for fear that he would say something wrong again and anger the strange man.
"Sure enough, it's the Xuanmen Hyogo......" Su Lian was excited for a while, and read: "Xuanmen Hyogo, Xuanmen Hyogo......" The woman whose skin is as condensed as snow, whose eyebrows are like powder, whose eyes are like stars, whose lips are like dots, and whose temperament is as quiet as moving, illusory, and not like a mortal.
"Gento Hyogo...... Is it the property of the Luo family? Su Lian asked tentatively. He really didn't know if the woman's surname was Luo, and whether the Xuanmen Hyogo had anything to do with her.
"Yes...... Yes. Jiang Zhihe looked a little strange this time.
"Brother Su is talking about the Luo family in Hebei?" Zheng Shou asked suddenly. When it comes to what he has seen and heard in the rivers and lakes, he obviously knows more than Su Lian.
"Hebei Luojia?" Su Lian was a little stunned all of a sudden, he didn't know about the Luo family in Hebei.
"Xuanmen Hyogo is the industry of the Luo family in Hebei, and its branches are open all over the country, and there are probably two or three hundred, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it......," Zheng Shou sighed.
"Three hundred and sixteen ...... to be exact," Jiang Zhihe added, with a look of pride in his eyes.
Su Lian touched his nose a little embarrassed, secretly blaming himself for never knowing about the Xuanmen Hyogo before. Now I don't know anything about it, and I can only humbly listen to what others have to say.
"Is this Xuanmen arsenal specifically for providing weapons to the government?" Su Lian asked.
Zheng Shou nodded and shook his head again, and said, "The government is the biggest customer of Xuanmen Hyogo, but they basically do all the weapons business. Even if we are in the rivers and lakes, if we need weapons, no matter how many, we can find the Xuanmen Hyogo......"
"Not bad! We have thousands of skilled craftsmen in our Genmen Hyogo. Each branch can do things according to the order, and can also create a variety of weapons and tools according to special requirements. It can be said that there are only those you can't think of, and there are no weapons that we can't do......" Jiang Zhihe talked about his own business, talking eloquently, and the head was the way.
"Oh......" Su Lian nodded thoughtfully.
"Do you have any special weapons that need to be made?" Jiang Zhihe asked.
"There is no ...... for the time being" Su Lian shook his head and said, then smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, junior brother Su Lian, don't call me a strange person anymore, I am so panicked...... Hehe......"
"Okay...... Jiang Zhihe agreed: "If Su Gongzi has any difficult requirements, you can find me." I believe that with our strength, we will be able to overcome difficulties and solve your doubts. ”
"Hmm......" Su Lian replied, and asked again: "Is the affairs of the Xuanmen Hyogo still taken care of by your family master now?" ”
"Our head of the family has been retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is at home in retreat and cultivation. Now it's mainly our eldest young master who is taking care of the family's affairs......" Jiang Zhihe replied.
"The master of the Luo family, Luo Wuxie, was a top master in the rivers and lakes back then, calling for wind and rain, and he was already a top master in the rivers and lakes, and he rarely met opponents. In recent years, it has disappeared, but I didn't expect it to be retired at home, no wonder......" Zheng Shou answered. Speaking of Luo Wuxie, there was a look of yearning and reverence.
"But recently, Miss Luo seems to have come out to manage the affairs of Xuanmen Hyogo?" Su Lian suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked tentatively.
"Miss has always ignored the ...... of family affairs" Jiang Zhihe said in a deep voice, which made Su Lian's heart sink, but Jiang Zhihe continued: "In the past few days, I don't know why, I came out to inspect the store. The young lady has worked tirelessly, and she has almost traveled all over the country during this time......" and then said strangely: "Except for the people in my Xuanmen Arsenal, few people actually know about this matter. Because Miss has a low-key style, she doesn't often show up, and there are very few people who know her. How did Su Gongzi know? ”
"Haha......" Su Lian laughed to hide his excitement, and said, "Because I've seen your young lady......"
"Oh......" Jiang Zhihe believed it and nodded: "Su Gongzi's strange people and strange things, it's not strange to be able to have a relationship with my young lady......
"Where, it's just met once, and it's not a ...... to talk about intersection" Su Lian smiled: "I don't know if you, the branch of Xizi Town, have she ever come to inspect?" ”
"It's a coincidence. Miss came the day before yesterday and just left yesterday......" Jiang Zhihe said with a smile.
Su Lian was disappointed for a while, and then asked, "Then her next stop should be ......?"
Jiang Zhihe thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This...... It's hard to say. Miss doesn't look at every branch, and she doesn't make any plans, she just goes wherever she wants......"
"And what other places hasn't she been?" Su Lian asked.
"I don't know that...... From Xizi Town to the east are Haozhou, Chuzhou, and Jinling, to the south are Tongcheng and Lujiang, and to the north are Shouchun and Yingzhou, and she may go to ......," Jiang Zhihe said.
"That's it......" Su Lian's disappointment overflowed, and he said regretfully: "It seems that there is no chance to meet her again......"
"Due to fate, we will see you again! Su Gongzi doesn't have to worry too much......" Jiang Zhihe said with relief.
Su Lian remembered that day in Huangmei County, what the blue-clothed maid said coincided with what Jiang Zhihe had just said, and couldn't help but smile, secretly thinking that the world is unpredictable, I don't know what will happen tomorrow today, so let's let it be.
After cleaning up his mood, Su Lian remembered something again, maybe Jiang Zhihe could know some news, so he asked: "Shopkeeper Jiang, recently, the government has encircled and suppressed the Sun Moon Village on the cloudy mountain ridge, I don't know if you have ever heard of this?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Zhihe said in surprise: "There is such a thing? The contemptible people really haven't heard of it. The heroes in the Sun Moon Village often attack and disturb the official food, and provide relief to the poor, and oppose the government, which should sooner or later attract the attention and fear of the officers and soldiers, but I didn't expect the government to start acting? ”
"I also heard about it by chance...... Su Lian snorted and said: "I know the shopkeeper Jiang today, and I secretly think that you are well-informed and often deal with people in the government, so you should be able to hear more news, so ......"
Jiang Zhihe said with a smile: "Although we have some contacts with people in the government, we still don't know much about such military secrets. Even if the soldiers want to rush to make weapons, they often go far and far, and do not ask for goods locally, and the people who guard against them are also afraid of leaking secrets......"
No wonder Wu Tuli went to Huangmei County, fifty miles away from Duoyun Mountain, to customize weapons that day, it turned out to be such a reason. Su Lian thought secretly.
"So, have any soldiers ordered a large number of weapons here in Jiang's shopkeeper recently?" Su Lian asked cautiously again.
Jiang Zhihe thought for a while and said: "There is no one in my store, and as for other branches, there is no movement from the shopkeepers I know well. Further afield, I don't know......"
"Hmm......" Su Lian nodded, feeling that Jiang Zhihe should have limited knowledge, but still asked: "Shopkeeper Jiang, Huaidong Dao Xuandu Marshal Mo Tuchi, have you ever been in contact?" ”
Sure enough, Jiang Zhihe shook his head and said: "My shop is more than 200 miles away from Huaidong, and there is almost no contact with the Xuanwei Envoy, so this marshal is ...... I really don't know much......" He turned and said: "But if Su Gongzi needs it, he can ask the branch manager on Huaidong Road accordingly, pay more attention, and if there is any news, you can say that you know ......."
"So good! Then there is Lao Jiang's shopkeeper, thank you so much......" Su Lian smiled and hugged his fists and said: "If there is a chance in the future, Su will definitely come to visit!" ”
"It's easy to say, if Su Gongzi comes, the contemptible people are welcome!" Jiang Zhihe also said with a smile.
A few people then chatted about the local customs, the rumors of the rivers and lakes, etc., Su Lian felt that the time was not early, so he was ready to leave the table and go back to the inn. At this time, I saw Li Bairoom coming down from the second floor.
