Chapter 325: The Four Great Treasurers

It turned out to be a false alarm!

A big man carried a wooden box to a room.

Li Feibai peeked and saw that the room was already filled with hundreds of wooden boxes of the same size, all of which were sealed. It seems that there are quite a few people who come here tonight to do business!

The problem is, no matter how you look at it, Shunfengtang is not a big inn that can accommodate so many guests! If so many people were forcibly stuffed in, it would have been noisy and chaotic a long time ago, and it would be impossible to be so quiet, as if someone was moving in.

One of the big men led the way and invited them to the back of Shunfeng Hall, while the rest of the big men went back to the house where they had stayed before.

Qin Meng also saw the room full of boxes, and whispered, "Brother, something is wrong!" ”

Li Feibai nodded, but he was not afraid of a black shop at this time.

Not to mention that Qin Meng has the courage to be unstoppable, even the pistol tuck in his waist, taking ten and eight lives is also a piece of cake, if it is really a black shop, if you want to do it to the two of them, it is really blind and self-defeating!

He said, "Be careful! ”

Through the back door of the antechamber, they came to a small courtyard, and the big man invited the two to a room in the middle.

The room is not big, with a portrait of Guan Yu hanging on the wall and an incense burner on the desk. The incense sticks the thickness of three little fingers seemed to have just been lit, and the green smoke floated to the roof under the lamplight.

On the floor of the house was a large blanket made of animal skins, on which were placed three kneeling mats.

Li Feibai's hand had been put on his waist, and the insurance of the pistol had been pulled off, and he said, "Are you just doing business here?" Don't you see a person, do you trade with ghosts? ”

The big man grinned and said, "Wait a minute!" Reaching out, he kicked the three kneeling mats aside, then uncovered the blanket that had been laid on the ground, revealing the blue brick floor below.

He half-crouched on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed on the ground, and the ground about a foot square fell down, and then raised it half a foot higher.

The big man clasped a recess with his hand, and turned the blue brick floor up, and the flickering light of the fire shone through it, illuminating the stone staircase that stretched down the staircase.

It turned out that the green brick floor was made of wooden boards, but it was disguised as a blue brick floor.

A man was standing at the bottom of the stairs, looked up and asked, "Another guest?" ”

The big man above replied: "Two more?" ”

The man below asked, "Whose brother?" ”

The big man above replied: "Wang Liu introduced him, it should be an ordinary businessman!" ”

The people below stopped talking, and the big man above grinned again and said, "I'll send the two of you here, you just follow him!" ”

Li Feibai opened his eyes, but he didn't expect to sit in the basement to do business. But there is no guarantee that there is business to be done below, in case the other party is playing the trick of inviting you into the urn, then it will be planted.

He gave Qin Meng a look, and asked Qin Meng to go down first, stand next to the person below, and prepare to control the person below at any time.

Waiting for Qin Meng to go down, he said a few more polite words to the big man above, and saw that Qin Meng was already standing next to the person below, so he moved his legs down.

Halfway up the stairs, there was a "pop" sound overhead, and the cover lifted by the big man above was heavily buckled, and then there was a sound of rustling, probably laying a blanket and putting a kneeling mat.

Li Feibai walked down the stairs, arched his hand at the man next to him, and said, "Under Li Feibai, I don't know what to call this brother?" ”

The man said: "The prince is too polite, the little Tian Daguang." ”

Li Feibai said: "The world is really full of wonders, I didn't expect that the business in Quanzhou was actually done underground?" ”

Tian Daguang said: "Wang Liu introduced you here to do business, but didn't tell you who we are?" ”

Li Feibai said: "No! ”

Tian Daguang said: "We are begging for a living in the sea!" ”

This phrase has two meanings, it can refer to merchants who travel from various states, and it can also refer to pirates.

Li Feibai let out an "oh" and waited for the following.

Tian Daguang turned around and led the way, saying, "It's a group of people who can't see the light!" Although the government said that it turned a blind eye, it can be as low-key as possible, not to mention that today's four major shopkeepers gathered, and it was rumored that the imperial court sent people to take my shopkeeper, and it was even more low-key! ”

There is no doubt that this is a bunch of pirates.

Li Feibai remembered He Tianchong, who suddenly arrived in Quanzhou, and was about to open his mouth to ask if his head Yang was Song Suqing, only to hear Tian Daguang say again:

"But don't worry, Son, we don't do business underground, if we do it underground, won't we become rats? Like everywhere else, it's done on the ground, and it's just a passage to the place where you buy and sell! ”

I see!

Li Feibai nodded secretly.

After about the end of the passage, there was another staircase leading to the top.

Tian Daguang stood in front of the stairs and pulled a rope next to him, and there was a sudden sound from above. A man lifted the cover, and through the hole, he could see that there was still a room above.

However, it is much more lively than Shunfudo, and it seems that a grand event is being held. Shouting voices poured in from the mouth of the cave, as well as the sound of musical instruments and the singing of kabuki.

Tian Daguang arched his hand and said, "I can only send it here, please come on." ”

Li Feibai thanked him, and walked up the stairs with Qin Meng, and before he came out of the cave, a person dressed as a guy greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Little Zheng Erguang, don't you know the son's surname?" ”

Li Feibai went from Tian Daguang to Zheng Erguang, and he already knew in his heart that these outlaws who were begging for a living at sea did not intend to show their real names.

He didn't do anything bad and wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so he didn't hide his name.

Zheng Erguang said: "Li Gongzi came, is he buying something or selling something?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Buy things and sell things!" ”

Zheng Erguang said: "I don't know how big a deal it is?" ”

Li Feibai thought for a moment.

It cost him about 30,000 taels to buy corn from York, and he planned to sell 100,000 taels for wine, saying, "130,000 taels!" ”

He told the truth here, but Zheng Erguang over there was shocked.

Zheng Erguang really didn't expect that this cucumber egg in front of him who didn't look amazing, he also said that he was the descendant of a big family in the city, and he didn't know where he knew that there was such a place to do business, so he came to see the excitement, and it was already up to the sky for three or five hundred taels of silver! Unexpectedly, Li Feibai is still a big customer!

His attitude was obviously flattering, and he said, "Li Gongzi here, please!" ”

Out of the yard, there is a huge garden. Several pavilions in the garden are occupied by musicians and kabuki, who are playing and singing diligently.

On both sides of the path, there are all kinds of commodities and goods.

These goods include food, drink, and clothing, including tea, porcelain, gold, silver, and jewelry. Among them, there are many things with strange shapes and foreign countries, and more things from the Ming Dynasty.

Everything is categorized, such as eating and drinking.

But the food and drink were divided into many piles, and in front of each pile there was a sign written on it, such as "Song Da Shopkeeper" or "Jin Da Shopkeeper" or Li Da Shopkeeper, and there was Xu Da Shopkeeper.

Sweeping the past, the signs erected next to each pile of things are nothing more than these four shopkeepers.

Li Feibai secretly said in his heart: "What are the four treasurers, aren't they the four pirates?" The things that are sold must be looted dirt. ”

There are people in different costumes walking on the path, some are Ming people and Hu people, some are walking around and watching the flowers, and some are stopping in front of a pile of things.

When someone takes a fancy to a certain piece of goods, they go to the four cases that correspond to a certain pile of things and also have a big shopkeeper written on them in front of the corridor, negotiate the price and quantity, settle the silver on the spot, and then leave the name and address, and someone will deliver it to the door another day.
