Sweat into rain, wave sleeves into clouds. Although Yan Ying used it to satirize the words of the King of Chu, there are inevitably many exaggerated elements in it, but it is undeniable that the land of Qilu has always been a densely populated place. It is never uncommon to see streets lined with people and bustling markets.

Kangning has now followed Chai Yinbin into Qingzhou City. He didn't know that Yin Chuanzhang had made an important breakthrough on his side, but the relatively ample time didn't let him get nervous, but instead wandered around the market.

The last prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is still being displayed here, although it is not as hazy as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also the nearest commodity distribution center around.

Maybe the ancients didn't have this concept yet, but the concept of this kind of thing only plays a role in the exam, and when it really comes to life, it is pitiful when it plays a role.

Therefore, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, these small merchants and hawkers who did not know what the commodity distribution center was, were crowding into Qingzhou City at this time and began their trading.

It's just that Corning can't see any joy on their faces, some are just fatigue along the way, and there is sadness that can't be concealed.

Kang Ning was wondering if their sad countenances had something to do with the recent drought, and the female Ai, who had already changed her name to Ai Mengxia, quickly pretended to be shopping and went up to talk.

Since the memories of the afterlife were already implanted when he was reborn, Corning didn't have to worry about him taking the shell or something to buy something.

Looking at the way she and the hawker are comparing, she really looks like a little peasant woman who came out to buy vegetables.

A moment later, she returned with a small basket of vegetables.

"Childe, this year's vegetable harvest is worse than in previous years, and prices are also soaring. Several grain stores are also raising prices. ”

"It's just a price increase for you now, that's good." Kang Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Vegetables and fruits can't be stored at all with the current preservation technology, and the price can't fly even if it rises." It's food, maybe someone will hoard it. ”

"But we can't control these things. The prefect of Chai hasn't spoken yet. ”

Corning knew that Ammonxia was right. His family also had several grain trades, and knew that every trade had its guild organization. To put it bluntly, these guilds were ancient trusts or cartels, and some were even more aggressive in terms of monopoly and exploitation.

This is a common phenomenon in Daming, and if you want to use your fragile arm to change all this, it seems that you can only use your mantis arm as a car.

"Childe." Just as Kangning sighed, Yang Dayan suddenly appeared behind him and whispered, "A group of dogs found us and stayed at the back door of our house. ”

After Kangning came to Qingzhou, he lived in the backyard of one of his own cargo stations. It's located in a slum where land is relatively cheap, so it's rarely noticed.

People don't pay much attention, how did the dog find it?

When Kangning thought about it, he knew that six or seven out of ten of these dogs had been trained by Sun Cannon, and it seemed that there was news from their side.

"Let's go back and see."

By the time Dow Corning returned to the back door of his house, fifteen or sixteen large canines surrounded him, each of them poking his nose at him.

Corning felt that this was even more nervous than the security check before boarding the plane in the future, after all, the security personnel were quite kind, and they were smiling and serving. And these fifteen or sixteen carnivores are still grinning, and their saliva is flowing to the ground like a waterfall.

Maybe they're hungry along the way, and if they find out they're not the person they're looking for, they don't mind thinking of themselves as luncheon meat.

Thankfully, Corning passed multiple security checks. The first sign is that the dozen or so dogs quickly jumped up happily.

Apparently they had found their destination after a long journey.

Corning was a little confused. I've heard of using pigeons to send messages before, and the bizarre thing is to use geese to send messages, and then erect some of them basically belong to the category of mythology or science fiction, but there is a canine message in front of me.

Fortunately, Sun Dacang, who mastered this golden finger, is now his subordinate, so he might as well have time to discuss it with him.

After a dozen dogs confirmed Corning's identity, they barked excitedly for a while. Soon in the distance, behind a corner, a vigilant dog's head was revealed.

The head of the dog looked at it, and after making sure it was safe, he barked twice, and soon a dozen more dogs appeared in a cluster with a larger dog larger than them.

Corning couldn't tell if it was a dog or a wolf, but the guy had no intention of attacking, not even his trademark saliva. When he trotted up to Corning, the other dogs were all on guard, and their little eyes looked like Zhongnanhai's bodyguards.

Corning noticed that the large dog had a belly pocket tied around his neck, and he reached into it, and immediately found an envelope made of brown paper.

Corning pulled out the envelope, then quickly pulled out the letterhead. He now wondered if Xu Hongru's guy had taken the bait.

"Xu Yu bites."

In just four words, it means that Corning has become the object of Xu Hongru's investigation. The next thing he has to do is still to rescue Wang Sen, but this time it is not only Jinyiwei's mission, but also Xu Hongru's test for himself.

Once this task is completed, he will have a good chance of breaking into the Wang Sen Group, so as to complete the phased task assigned to him by Jinyiwei, and will also pass Xu Hongru's test of himself.

In this way, by doing the same thing, you can achieve two goals.

Next, it is time to go all out to rescue Wang Sen.

"Fetch some water and feed these dogs some meat. Let them be fed and satisfied. Corning commanded as he walked into the house.

Yuan Fang and several reincarnators also followed. They could guess from the expression on Kang Ning's face that the mission was going quite smoothly, and then they were going to start preparing to rescue Wang Sen.

After entering the house and closing the door, several people began to deliberate.

Kang Ning took the lead and said: "Wu Sijie in the Jinyi Guard once gave the state minister a wooden box, and the scroll inside was written with this plan for this week. According to Jin Yiwei's arrangement, we should get in touch with an undercover agent named Cod, who will be responsible for introducing us to Wang Sen. ”

Ai Mengxia said: "Childe, in fact, we don't need to contact him too early. After all, our identity was sent by Xu Hongru to rescue Wang Sen. However, what we have to do is to make Xu Hongru feel that Gongzi is a person with ideals and ambitions. In order to contain Xu Hongru, he will definitely promote the position of the machine within the framework of the white legs. Woo you, support you, and then use you to suppress Xu Hongru, and even instigate you to rebel against him. ”

"It's a good way to go." Yang Dayan said, "As long as he is willing to support you, he basically needs you to reach the level of Xu Hongru." Isn't that Yanzhou Mansion, then you can tell Wang Sen's old boy that Qingzhou Mansion is yours. Aren't we going to have a group exercise here? Hey. ”

"Nope." Shang Xin retorted, "Jinyiwei's ultimate task is to find out what Xu Hongru is capable of as a traverser, which can be used by the Ming Dynasty and which cannot be used by the Ming Dynasty." If you embark on the path of confrontation with that guy, it will be very detrimental to the completion of this plan. ”

Kang Ning also said: "That's right, it really can't be too far away from Xu Hongru's inner circle. ”

"Hey." Yang Dayan said regretfully, "I think Mengxia girl's trick is quite good." I didn't expect the big man and the son to oppose it. ”

"I'm not entirely against it." Shang Xin smiled and said, "It's better to just modify it a little." ”

Corning immediately let out a knowing laugh: "Yes, that's right. All it takes is a slight modification. ”

Yang replied strangely: "What kind of amendment law?" ”

Ai Mengxia said at this time: "I understand. It's going undercover again. ”

Yang Dayan had already fainted: "Why do you go undercover again, go undercover to go undercover, who does our son work for." ”

Shang Xin smiled: "In the final analysis, our son is to serve himself, and to serve mankind so that he will not be enslaved in the future. ”

Corning waved his hand and said, "Don't say it so great. At present, we are at ease to be the parasites of the Ming Dynasty, and to serve the Ming court and Jinyiwei with peace of mind. However, if you want to complete Jinyiwei's undercover mission, you must gain Xu Hongru's trust. Then we will simply go undercover again and pass on the internal intelligence of Wang Sen Group to Xu Hongru. In this way, Xu Hongru's trust must be indispensable. ”

"Yes." Ammonxia continued, "My plan just needs to be fine-tuned. That is, Wang Sen wants to use Gongzi to deal with Xu Hongru, and Gongzi will do it, but everything Wang Sen wants to do has to tell Xu Hongru. In this way, in terms of substantive relationship, Gongzi is Xu Hongru's undercover agent. With Xu Hongru's ability, it is only a matter of time before he gets the right in Wang Sen's hands, and the status of the son will continue to rise on the original basis. If Xu Hongru really rebelled in the future, then the son would be able to make more contributions to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Kang Ning concluded: "Da Ming, Xu Hongru, and Wang Sen have formed a food chain. We are going to step on Wang Sen's corpse to approach Xu Hongru, and then step on Xu Hongru's corpse to go to the next level in Daming. This time, I'm going to be an undercover agent for an undercover target. ”

Yang Dayan understood this sentence, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted excitedly: "Childe, you can speak." What do we do next? ”

"According to Jinyiwei's plan, the cod that joins us will appear in Qingzhou Mansion in the near future. The joint code is our Ha Touch head ring, but my eyes alone are not enough, so I want everyone to go out and keep an eye out for the person with the toad head ring. Also, here's a portrait of him, and everyone pays attention to it. ”

Corning took the portraits out of the wooden box, showed them to everyone, and then sent them out and began to set up control in places with a lot of traffic.

Not long after they left, an old man with a gray beard and fairy wind bones took his apprentices and subordinates into the Qingzhou Mansion City leisurely, found a teahouse and sat down, ready to rest and continue to walk forward.

"Master, drink water."

Wang Sen took the bowl of water handed over by the apprentice, and glanced at the unsightly apprentice and the ugly toad head ring on his hand.

"Xue Yu, why are you still bringing this ugly thing? In all these years, I haven't seen any of your cousins interact with you. What do you say you are doing with your tokens? ”

"Master, you don't know, my mother kisses his sister a lot. My grandfather had no children and gave birth to more than 20 daughters, more than 20, which is enough to form a big drama troupe. Each of them has two or three births, and you say, there must not be forty or fifty. No matter how big the Ming is, one day we will meet it. ”

"Good, good." Wang Sen put down the tea, "I won't talk about your cousin." But why is your nickname codfish? The old man has lived for a long time, and he has never heard of this fish? ”

It's not that Wang Sen hasn't seen a cod, it's just that he doesn't know it's called cod. Deputy Commander Li once told Xue Yu that this was a name that circulated among that kind of people. How could Wang Sen know, but since Wang Sen asked, he couldn't help but say it, and said nonsense at the moment: "Master, you don't know." Xue Yu sat next to him, "Let me tell you, we southerners often go overseas, and once we ......"

He was talking energetically, but he didn't notice that there was a pair of huge eyes not far away, staring at the ring on his hand for a long time, and after confirming that he saw it clearly, Yang Dayan slowly flashed into the crowd, and soon disappeared without a trace.
