The lively streets are now flowing with people, mostly from nearby villages jumping goods to sell, and it looks like a lively market.

"Let's go, go in and have a look" Xiao Chuan suddenly wanted to come to this place to have a look, he hadn't seen that team of father and daughter for a long time. Walk in to see, the decoration inside is good, stone and brick floor, the first floor is full of tables and chairs, full of merchants and pedestrians, very lively, and the wooden staircase, leading to the wing room on the second floor.

A small guy on the side, seeing Xiao Chuan's two clothes, as well as Chen Xiangyi's beautiful face, knew that these two must be not small, so he flattered: "Two guests, are you a private room, or this lobby"

"Let's do it here," Xiao Chuan said, originally to see Uncle Chen and Xiaohua, and see how the two of them are doing now.

That little guy was a little strange, could it be that he looked away, these two were not rich people, and he still helped Xiaochuan arrange a good seat with a respectful face

The nearby tables and chairs are full of all kinds of people, most of them are merchants, pedestrians, eating food, bragging about cattle, the people of the Ming Dynasty are no different from modern times, bragging, drinking, the day just passed.

"Alas, have you seen that city wall, it's comparable to the county city wall, I can't imagine that a small hundred households have such a mighty city wall"

"Not to mention the city wall, and the houses here, all of them are blue brick houses, not a hundred households, how can a hundred households have this scale, it should be a hundred households stationed here, I am afraid that some people are worried about it, there are many robbers nearby" A person next to him said worriedly.

"Thieves are worried? Don't be kidding, I know that there are no thieves in the Black Mountain, and the robbers of more than 500 people were defeated by these 100 households and 200 people in the field, who dares to care" A person on the side snorted coldly, laughing at the ignorance of the worried people.

"It's so strong, no wonder it can be stationed in such a rich place"

Hearing their discussion, Xiao Chuan's mind also became active, the thieves were worried, Xiao Chuan still wished that the thieves were worried, it was better to come, and he could make a fortune by directly robbing the bandits. But are they talking about spies? Hehe, commercial espionage is a thing that knows no dynasties, and the soap manufacturing plant is already surrounded by its own system troops, and the number of suspicious people captured is no less than twenty, which makes Xiaochuan a little headache.

As for the identity they made up, the identity of their own army, Xiao Chuan is too lazy to explain, but this is better, those who are worried about soap, do not know their identity, create a feeling that there are people above, and make them more afraid, as for refuting rumors, in the future, those people in the city will be idle and walk around the county, and naturally the rumors will be broken

"Alas, Xiaochuan, this Uncle Chen has only been here for a few days, and he can buy such a big shop," Xiangyi asked strangely.

"Oh, you said this" Xiao Chuan didn't know very well, and said: "It seems that Huang Chunsheng got it, he seems to have sold these stores, although he doesn't want them to buy them, but after signing the contract, he can go to a lot of each month's harvest." It's a good idea, "It's a loss in the short term, but it's a long-term profit idea."

"This old man is really smart, you know how to sleep lazily every day, where is the appearance of the lord" Xiangyi touched Xiaochuan's head with her slender fingers and said with a hint of a smile.

"Hehe, if I'm busy, how can I have time to go out shopping with you" Xiaochuan pouted, obviously not reflecting on his leisurely and corrupt life, sure enough, being a shopkeeper is an easy and comfortable thing, as long as you firmly grasp the military power in your hands.

"Daddy, daddy, I bought wine and came back, you cook a few more dishes, Brother Han will come over for dinner in the evening" A yellow bird-like voice came, it was that Ah Hua, she has also learned to dress up now, with rouge on her face, hairpin on her head, white skin and red in the red, like a peach version, with a kind of youth, an emerald green long skirt set off the delicate figure.

The merchants and pedestrians in the vicinity all looked straight at the handsome girl, and the person who poured the wine was already full of wine in his hand, and he didn't notice that the wine had come out.

After a while, an old man with an iron spoon came to the back kitchen, it was Uncle Chen, at this moment he also lost the original dullness forced by life, with a sense of confidence on his face, and his body gradually became blessed, the white robe was full of oil, and he said with an anxious look on his face: "In the future, Han Gang is not allowed to come to our house for dinner, if I meet, I will see it once, and hit it once."

"Why, Daddy, Brother Han, didn't you save us" Hearing her father say this, Ah Hua had a puzzled face, and her big eyes were full of grievances.

"Save us, he has been eating and drinking for nothing for so many days, and it should be clear" Uncle Chen had a trace of unnaturalness on his face, he saw his daughter's affection for Han Gang, if he was in Qingcheng in the past, then Han Gang fell in love with his daughter, he was a hundred and ten thousand willing, but now that he has come to this smooth fort and has a shop, his vision is naturally different, everyone else is called the boss on weekdays, and he is no longer the Uncle Chen who sets up a stall on the street. Seeing that his daughter is becoming more and more smart, as well as his own net worth, and looking for that kind of little officer, he is a little disdainful.

Everyone on the side understood what was going on when they heard it, and a troubled merchant smiled and said: "Little lady, your father thinks your brother is too poor."

Everyone laughed, and Ah Hua's face turned pale and said, "Daddy, why, Brother Han, he saved us, why is he bad?"

"Hmph, he's a poor boy, he's still a hill, who knows if he will die in battle one day, but he will be a widow when the time comes" Uncle Chen said quite bitterly.

"How can you say that about him! Daddy, you've changed," said Na Hua with tears in her eyes.

Uncle Chen angrily picked up the long spoon in his hand and was about to hit her, but his hand was tightly cobalt, but he saw that Chen Xiangyi's beautiful face next to him, with anger, Xiao Chuan sat at the table with a calm face, and his heart was already angry, but after being the lord for so long, Xiao Chuan is not the high school student who showed his mind on his face.

Looking at this guy who hates the poor and loves the rich, I really don't know where this old man's confidence comes from, can you open a store here or see Han Gang's face, Xiaochuan didn't understand this old man's thoughts.

That Uncle Chen saw that Xiaochuan's heart was weak, and his face was full of coldness, for the sake of his daughter's future to marry a good family, and for himself to live a good life in the future, he could only deny Xiaochuan's benefactors, and said: "It turned out to be Qin Baihu, haha, come to dinner, I invited this meal" He accepted it like this, just to give Xiaochuan a face, don't let him entangle too much.

Xiao Chuan was a little angry, didn't this old man know that he could let him get out of his way with a word! This is also wronged this old man, this old man really doesn't know, Xiaochuan's energy, he just arrived, this listened to the rumors in the city, naturally I don't know that this city is Xiaochuan's, how Xiaochuan can build such a big city wall in a hundred households, he thinks it should be a higher-level official to build the city, Xiaochuan is only responsible for the garrison.

Xiao Chuan looked at the arrogance on Uncle Chen's face, and glanced at Chen Xiangyi, which was both funny and annoying, and said to Uncle Chen: "Do you think my subordinate Han Gang is not worthy of your daughter?" ”

"Hmph" Uncle Chen snorted coldly, that disdainful cold snort already represented his answer, he was even a little tired of Xiao Chuan, the status of the Ming Dynasty military household was very low, at least he thought it was lower than him, the shopkeeper who opened a shop in the city.

"Brother Qin, don't say it" Na Xiaohua said with tears on her face: "You help me tell Brother Han, I will wait for him"

"What are you talking about" Uncle Chen's eyes widened and looked at Na Hua, Xiao Chuan nodded and agreed, looking at Xiao Chuan agreeing, Uncle Chen glared at that Xiao Chuan, and said: "You guys get out, I don't like to drink you here, and tell your subordinates, I will fight him once he comes"

"Haha" Xiao Chuan laughed directly angrily, and Ah Hua's face changed, and said: "Daddy, this is someone's fortress, you just drove him away, how can you gain a foothold here?"

"This kind of town can be established by a small hundred households" Uncle Chen sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Daughter, you think too much, this kind of city wall can only be built by an official of the level of the Thousand Households Division, and he is just stationed here."

The guests on the side were all embarrassed.

When Ah Hua heard her father say this, her face was full of grief and she began to cry, she thought that her father would be afraid of that Xiaochuan, but she didn't expect such a result. She felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Uncle Chen sighed and said with a cold face: "Daughter, you will give me a good day of reflection in the firewood room today." He was also a little unbearable, but when he thought of Han Gang's identity, if his daughter married a little officer, where would he put his old face, he was originally a little soft-hearted, and the feeling of others calling him Boss Zhang appeared in his mind, as well as the eyes of the past businessmen looking at him, which was not there when he set up a stall in Qingcheng.

Looking at the arrogance on his father's face, is this still the father who used to be kind, or the uncle Chen who set up a stall in Qingcheng, he understands that this second-floor storefront shop is now a poisonous blood tank, and his father has now fallen into it.

The guests on the side are all embarrassed, and they are a team of lovers who have been separated by life.

********

Xiao Chuan was outside, and his face couldn't be contained, and said, "I really didn't expect this guy to be such an ungrateful person, hum"

"People are also thinking about their daughters," Xiangyi smiled. "In the future, if you have a daughter, you will definitely be like this"

"I'll regret it" Xiao Chuan said, no, if you really want to drive that old man away, that Ah Hua is innocent, and that Han Gang should also blame himself, just scare him. Find a person on the street and ask him to bring a message to Huang Chunsheng, so that he can scare Uncle Chen.

"Xiaochuan, who is that person, why do you find a random person and know you?" Chen Xiangyi was a little strange and pouted.

"This, it's an organization I'm going to set up newly" That's right, it's an espionage organization, the importance of the spy organization is quite important, the invasion of the Ming Dynasty by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could it not be the success of the espionage war, the battle of Sarhu, I learned that the Ming army was divided into four ways of time and strength, the siege of Liaodong, every time there were traitors to open the city, and even the field battles had the Ming army traitors pretending to be defeated and retreating, resulting in the defeat of the Ming army. Maybe an inexplicable subordinate like Zhang Xianzhong rebelled and was shot intensively by arrows, or was he like Huang Degong, who happened to be hit in the neck by arrows?

Therefore, Xiao Chuan has formed the framework of a spy organization, and now there are only more than 20 people, who can only conduct some interrogations on some merchants in the inner city, report some suspicious things, or like just now, help him run errands anytime and anywhere, which is far from what he imagined to be an intelligence organization.

The two went out to the west of the city. I thought in my heart, when I came back later, I would like to see if Uncle Chen has no store, will he still have this arrogant expression?
