Seven days later, Wang Lun and others followed Si Xingfang to Huzhou.

At this time, Huzhou has all become Fang La's forces. Fang La's Manichaean guards stood guard in front of the door, their eyes constantly roaming back and forth from the visitor, their eyes full of indifference and fierceness.

?“ I don't know who is guarding this Huzhou City right now? Seeing this, Shi Bao couldn't help but say, "The soldiers at the gate of the city in front of me also have some appearances."

Three days ago, Si Xingfang got the news that the sect leader Fang La was in Huzhou, so he brought Wang Lun over. After listening to Shi Bao's words, he didn't explain.

?? Enter from the east gate and go east along the official road. The official road is very wide, four big cars can go side by side, the willows on both sides of the road are clinging, and the rice fragrance is overflowing outside the willows.

Wang Lun and others rode horses on the official road, and there was an endless stream of loaded ox carts. On the ox cart, the people riding on the car have different skin colors and costumes, and the people of Goryeo, Fusang, Nanyang, Tianzhu, Persia, and Dashi can be seen everywhere.

Halfway through, the rice fields disappear, and the boundless lotus pond comes into view. Half a mile further, the reeds in the lotus pond appear alternately, and under the shade of the willow trees, three old women sit cross-legged, holding reeds and weaving straw mats.

Seeing this, Wang Lun opened his mouth and asked Si Xingfang and said, "In your opinion, what is the difference between the Central Plains and Jiangnan?" ”

The Si Xingfang pondered for a moment and said, "The Central Plains is majestic, and the heroes go out with knives; Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scholar goes out to get a fan. ”

Wang Lun laughed and said, "Incisive and sharp, it can be a quotation!" However, there were still Sect Leader Fang and Elder Lu and others in Jiangnan! ”

Si Xingfang smiled and said, "Vulgar words are not enough to worry about!" ”

Looking only at the inner city, compared with other states and counties, Huzhou has nothing to show except for the wide market and slightly taller buildings. However, from the east gate, to the seashore, thousands of sails gathered, and commerce and trade prospered. To the north of the port, there are dozens of shipyards, tens of thousands of craftsmen, and huge trees piled up for miles. In the southwest of the port, the warehouse warehouse stretches endlessly, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres.

Between the port and the inner city, there are many hotels, inns all over, and the official roads are paved with bluestone, not afraid of rain, snow and frost.

The secretary first took Wang Lun and the others to an inn, settled everyone, and then confessed to Wang Lun. "Brother Wang is resting in the inn now, Si Mou went to see the sect leader and then came to introduce him!"

One is that the secretary wants to return to Pang Wanchun, and the other is to introduce Wang Lun to Fang La, and the secretary must first communicate with Fang La.

"Brother Si's business is important, Wang is waiting here!"

Si Xingfang nodded and left with his subordinates. Before leaving, he also left two people behind, took care of Wang Lun and others, and explained to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper didn't dare to slack off, came to see Wang Lun, and asked, "Childe is from Tokyo?" ”

Wang Lunqi said: "How do you see? ”

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Listening to the childe's accent, you can know that he is definitely not from Jiangnan, and then looking at the childe's bold demeanor and the signature at the time of registration, you can know the approximately!" ”

Wang Lun didn't explain, took out a pot of fine wine, handed it to the boss and asked, "Are you a good drinker?" ”

The boss took the flask, sniffed at the mouth of the bottle, his face was full of enjoyment and surprise, and said, "Drink pleasantly, drinking hurts your body, but there are few people in the world who are not good at drinking!" ”

Wang Lun nodded and said, "This wine is a northern wine, and it will be given to the boss." ”

The boss excused himself and said, "If you don't have merit, how can you spend money?" ”

Wang Lun said, "When I first arrived in the treasure land, I didn't know the customs and customs, and I hope that Yicheng will solve my doubts!" ”

Hearing this, the boss saluted and said, "The matter within the division should have been said to the son." ”

The two sat down, and the boss asked, "Can you tell me what happened here?" ”

Wang Lun fell into deep thought, and after a long time, asked, "Who sold the things that entered the Great Song Dynasty from overseas?" ”

The boss replied, "The best thing is sold in Hangzhou Yingcheng Bureau; The best goods are sold in Tokyo firms; Medium-grade goods are sold in the Central Plains and Jiangnan firms; The inferior goods are sold in Jingxiang and Sichuan-Shaanxi firms. ”

After a pause, he added, "There are no absolutes, but ninety percent of things are like that." ”

Wang Lun asked again: "Can the Hangzhou Yingcheng Bureau have a yamen in Huzhou?" ”

"It's in Huzhou City."

Wang Lun nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your doubts!" ”

The boss took the flask and said, "Childe has something to do, but please command, the villain retires!" ”

After the boss left, Ma Ling asked, "Brother is going to sell the jewelry to Hangzhou Yingcheng Bureau?" "Liangshan has had a lot of foreign wealth in recent years, and Ma Ling thought that Wang Lun was looking for a buyer.

Wang Lun shook his head and said, "No, but I want to understand the people of Jiangnan a little!" ”

Seeing that Ma Ling and Shi Bao were puzzled, Wang Lun explained, "One is to judge the actions of the government here, and the other is to consider the wealth of Fang La and others!" ”

Regardless of whether a few people understood it or not, Wang Lun instructed a few people, "Brother Ma Ling, go and move around, see the reality in the city, and the strength of the Ming Sect!" ”

Then he instructed Shi Bao, "Brother Shi Bao, a southerner, is familiar with the land, inquire about the news of Shi Jin and others." ”

"The six brothers of Wang Ding are strolling around the inn, pay attention to pedestrians, and don't be disturbed by small cuts!"

The three of them were instructed by Wang Lun to go downstairs. Half of the attendants left by the Si Xingfang also followed, and Wang Lun didn't care.

However, he said that the priest left the inn and came to a hidden alley according to the secret signal of Mingjiao.

"Who's coming?"

With a loud shout, fifty or sixty people poured up around the alley, with swords in hand and all dressed in strong suits. The walls around it were full of archers, and the feathered arrows were full of arrows.

"Burn my body, blaze the flames. What is the joy of life, and why is it so painful to die? The priest made a gesture and sang the Mingjiao incision.

"For the sake of good and evil, only I know how to teach. Joy and sorrow are dust. Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows. ”

The crowd also recited, and the leader recognized the priest and was overjoyed at first sight.

"Brother Si, the Holy Lord is still talking about you......"

Si Xingfang saw that the man was none other than the confidant of the sect leader Fang La, his good brother Li Tianrun.

"Brother Li, the Holy Lord is here, and the younger brother has something important to say!"

Li Tianrun saw that Si Xingfang was anxious, and he didn't say hello, and directly led Si Xingfang into the courtyard.

"The Holy Lord is talking to King Deng Fa and discussing the news that the Young Lord has sent back!"

Si Xingfang knew that this Deng Fawang was Deng Yuanjue, and the envoy Wang Yin was the most trusted by the sect leader Fang La. For major matters in the church, you must have one or two counselors.

"Please also ask Brother Li, help me get sick ......," Si Xingfang hugged his fists and said to Li Tianrun.

Li Tianrun didn't stay, and pulled the driver to leave. "You are still outside, the sect leader has already ordered you to see him when you come back!"

"Before you came back, I sent someone to wait outside the city, I don't think you met ......"

The secretary Fang just listened to Fang Tianding's letter, and he was afraid that Fang Tianding would distort the facts and ruin the lives of Pang Wanchun, the two of us and others. Seeing Li Tianrun's recommendation, he didn't delay, and hurried to see Fang La.
