"That's a bit of a thing!" The officer snorted at the city gate: "Go, don't make trouble for me in the city!" ”

Cao Shuo thanked him and led his horse to the city gate.

Eight men dismounted, and followed him into the city.

Carrying the gold bead into his arms, the officer watched Cao Shuo and others walk into Wancheng.

"Brothers, brother, I'll have a drink tonight." Cao Shuo and the others walked away, and the officer said to a few soldiers guarding the city gate: "Each person will share another hundred and ten copper coins and find a woman to play with." ”

When Cao Shuo dealt with the officers, all eight men pinched a cold sweat.

Each of them was ready.

Once the other party really wants to arrest someone, he immediately stepped forward to slash and kill the enemy to save Cao Shuo, and then walked away.

What they were worried about didn't happen, the officer was so easy to deceive, and was blinded by Cao Shuo.

Until this time, except for Liu Shuang and another man who had been a thief, everyone else looked at Cao Shuo differently!

Nine people walked on the street, the men were so anxious that they couldn't find a place to hide immediately, but Cao Shuo walked unhurriedly.

Even if he walked slowly, he would even run in and ask what the price of corn was now, and how much money it would collect from other places, as if there was a batch of grain to be transported into the city!

It's strange to say, they walked slowly, and when they met several teams of patrolling Zhang Xiujun on the road, they just looked at them, and no one stepped forward to interrogate.

Walking through a few streets unhurriedly, Cao Shuo and the others came to the door of a building.

"I'll rest here tonight." He commanded the people.

When they entered the building, they were soon led to tie their horses to the backyard.

Back in the front hall of the building, Cao Shuo asked the steward, "We have a lot of people, do we have enough rooms?" ”

Since Cao Cao entered Wancheng, few merchants came to the city, and Zhang Xiu's rebellion made Wancheng even more ruined.

The order that had just been restored was chaotic again.

Many foreign merchants heard that something had happened in Wancheng, and they didn't dare to come here.

The building has been out of business for several days.

If it goes on like this, it's really going to be closed.

Finally came to the guests, and nine of them came at a time, and of course the steward would greet them well.

He said to Cao Shuo with a smiling face: "The small shop has good rooms, enough for a few people. ”

"Give me three rooms." Cao Shuo said: "Prepare some vegetables and corn, and we will borrow the kitchen for a few days here." Rice, we'll cook it ourselves! ”

"There is a cook in the store, so you don't have to make it yourself." The steward said, "The guests just have to rest." ”

"I'm used to doing it myself." Cao Shuo said: "The food money will not be less than yours." ”

"The guests must be out walking a lot." The steward said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so cautious." ”

Cao Shuo said: "You are a discerning person. It seems that the business in the store was good in the past, have you seen a lot of people from other places? ”

"Of course, all kinds of people have seen the opening of the building." The steward said, "I have seen some of those who come from the south and those who come from the north, and those who go to trade with swords. There are also customers who don't eat the food in the store and insist on making their own food. In fact, the food in the small shop can be eaten with confidence, and there will be no problems at all. ”

"If there is a problem, you don't count." Cao Shuo said: "Those who open black shops will also tell customers that our store sells human flesh? ”

"What are you talking about?" The steward said with a stiff expression: "How could the small shop do such a thing." ”

"Joke, don't take it to heart." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "We have been walking for many days, and we are indeed a little tired, so let's arrange the guest room first." ”

"I'll take the guest to the guest room." The steward personally took Cao Shuo and the others to the guest room.

The rooms of the building are built in the backyard and are a row of small rooms.

The furnishings in the room were simple, except for the covers, only two straw mats and a low table.

After entering the room, the steward wiped the dust on the low table with his sleeve and said to Cao Shuo: "There is a well in the courtyard outside the guest room. If the customer is not worried about the water boiling in the shop, I will have a copper stove and kettle brought to me. ”

"That's the best!" Cao Shuo said: "It's not that I don't worry about you here, we have this habit everywhere we go." ”

"Yes, I know. The guests rested first, and after a while, someone brought a copper stove and a kettle. The steward smiled and left the room.

When Cao Shuo entered the room, Liu Shuang followed him.

When the steward withdrew, Liu Shuang came to the door and looked twice.

Sure that there was no one outside, he nodded to Cao Shuo.

"When I entered the city, I deliberately made two more rounds." Cao Shuo said to Liu Shuang: "I didn't find what we were looking for, it should have been received somewhere." ”

"Where does Childe think it will be?" Liu Shuang asked.

"It's possible in a lot of places." Cao Shuo said: "The most likely is the government. ”

"Do you want me to go to the government first at night?" Liu Shuang asked.

"Don't be busy yet." Cao Shuo said: "It's too risky to act rashly, you go and call the steward again, I want to ask something from his mouth." ”

Liu Shuang said yes and left the room.

Only then did Cao Shuo and the others be sent to the room, and Liu Shuang came to send a message to him again, and the steward also muttered in his heart.

I didn't say anything just now, but I just asked the others to go back after they left.

It's a bit strange that the guests are doing this time.

Although he muttered in his heart, and couldn't offend the guests, the steward had to prepare a copper stove and kettle himself, and followed Liu Shuang back to Cao Shuo's room.

As soon as he entered the room, the steward said with a smiling face, "Guest, I have brought the copper stove and kettle." ”

"Liu Shuang." Cao Shuo said to Liu Shuang: "You go to the yard and help me get some water to boil." I'm a little thirsty! ”

Liu Shuang went out with the kettle, and the steward used a fire chopstick to hold the charcoal in the copper stove to make the fire more intense.

"It's freezing, and there's a stove in the room, so guests can be warmer." The steward said.

"It's too much trouble." Cao Shuo said: "Please come over, I have something I want to inquire about." ”

"If the guest has anything to ask, just ask." The steward said, "As long as I know, I will definitely say it." ”

"Don't hide it." Cao Shuo said: "I am a grain merchant, and I resell grain all year round. ”

"Grain merchant?" The steward said: "Those who can resell grain in these years are either rich or expensive. The guests are amazing! ”

"It's no big deal." Cao Shuo said humbly: "No matter what you do, it's a mess to eat, I want to open a house like you, you don't have to eat and sleep outside, and you can earn money by sitting at home." ”

"We make a small amount of money, which is like a well-informed guest." The steward said.

"Don't be humble with me." Cao Shuo said: "I just want to ask, what price can grain be sold for in Wancheng?" Just now I asked a few grain sellers on the street, and the prices offered were much higher than those in other places. ”

PS: Someone asked me today if I always write about the Three Kingdoms, will there be no stories to write. Suffice it to say that the same Three Kingdoms, I could write at least a hundred different stories, this worry is completely unnecessary!
