"Which two?" Luo Yangxing couldn't hide his excitement and asked eagerly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"According to investigation, he is also a well-known businessman in Zhangjiakou, one is called Jin Liangyu, and the other is named Huang Yunfa, and they are all doing similar business to Wang Dengku." Song Qi replied.

"These two are with Wang Dengkubi, whose business is larger?" Luo Yangxing asked.

"It's all about the same, it's estimated to be half a pound or eight taels." Song Qi replied.

"Brother Song is right, it seems that these two families are inseparable from Jiannu." Luo Yangxing said, "Where is that 'distinguished guest' now, our people have to keep an eye on him!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, our people have been watching, and I just came to report that this person has gone to Huang Yunfa's mansion and has not come out, and I estimate that he is likely to go to other merchants' homes next." Song Qi replied.

"Well, it seems that this 'distinguished guest' can do us a great favor, don't touch him yet, I want to see how many merchants in this Zhangjiakou City are related to Jiannu." Luo Yangxing heard this and said with a smile.

Saying that, Luo Yangxing began to "wait for good news" in the inn, waiting for the "distinguished guest" to visit all the merchants who should be visited, so as to help him lock the target, and then when the "distinguished guest" was about to leave the city, he was captured in one fell swoop, and it was done.

However, the plan was far from changing quickly, and Luo Yangxing waited at the inn for a long time, but there was no new report of the situation.

"Who is this Huang Yunfa? Why did that 'distinguished guest' stay with him for so long? After waiting for more than an hour, Luo Yangxing asked.

"Could it be that at noon, this Huang Yunfa Liu Na's 'distinguished guest' will have a meal?" Song Qi was also a little confused about what was going on, and came up with a guess randomly, in fact, Song Qi himself had no bottom on this guess, because Song Qi felt that if he was that "distinguished guest", he would definitely not be in the mood to stay in Huang Yunfa's mansion to eat.

Luo Yanghe and Song Qi waited anxiously for half an hour, and finally reluctantly came to a conclusion that the "distinguished guest" was afraid that he would be lost.

"What a bunch of rice buckets!" Thinking that the important person who was finally found slipped away like this, Luo Yangxing was inevitably annoyed in his heart, disappointed in his subordinates' ability to do things, and said angrily while patting the table.

Luo Yangxing felt that if Yang Tao and the others were here, they would definitely not lose people, but unfortunately, Yang Tao and the others were not there.

"Command your Excellency to calm down." Song Qi said with relief, "It's not like we've found nothing, at least we have found two more businessmen who are doing business with Jiannu. ”

"I naturally know this, but such a great opportunity was lost in vain, I am really unwilling." Luo Yangxing said helplessly.

"I think it's that only Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu and Huang Yunfa's caravan set off today, so after that 'distinguished guest' went to the three of them, he quietly absconded." Song Qi analyzed.

"It seems that this 'distinguished guest' is also a powerful person." Luo Yangxing finally lost his breath and began to analyze calmly.

"Yes, the one who can be sent here by Jiannu to do business with Wang Dengku and them is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp." Song Qi said, "Maybe this person can be ranked in front of Huang Taiji." ”

"Well, what Brother Song said is reasonable, this person can't be underestimated." Luo Yangxing said, "It's just that now it's gone, and other businessmen who do business with Jiannu can't be found." ”

Song Qi said with relief, "That's not necessarily, there are three caravans out of the customs today, and I think that if there are really other merchants, they may not all choose to leave the customs on the same day, maybe the merchants who will leave the customs tomorrow are also related to them." ”

"Well, yes, in addition to these three, if a caravan with such a deep rut is found tomorrow, it means that there are still merchants trading with Jiannu, maybe that 'distinguished guest' will appear again, I will send people to let them all keep an eye on it, and if there is any caravan out of the customs tomorrow, it will be reported immediately." Luo Yang analyzed.

"I also went to check yesterday and the day before yesterday if there were any big caravans out of the customs." Song Qi added, after all, no one dared to say that Wang Dengku and they were the first to set off, maybe there were already many other caravans that had already set off first.

"Well, in this way, we can also check eight or nine, and when Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao come back, we can be completely sure." Luo Yangxing said, "Brother Lao Song will go and visit first, but you must be careful not to reveal your identity, and you would rather investigate slowly than startle the snake." ”

"Humble duty naturally understands." Song Qi replied, and set out to investigate the situation of the caravan that had left the customs a few days ago.

……

However, what disappointed them was that in fact, Wang Dengku and the three of them were really the last to set off, and Luo Yangxing and they kept an eye on it for two days before they reluctantly discovered this, because there had been no large caravans out of the customs in the past two days, and the "distinguished guest" also never appeared again.

In addition to Luo Yangxing's disappointment, fortunately, Song Qi's investigation has finally made some progress, which can be regarded as giving him a little comfort.

"My lord, I have investigated it, and indeed a few days ago, there were some large caravans out of the customs." Song Qi said to Luo Yangxing.

"Oh? Can you be sure that these caravans are there to trade with **? Luo Yangxing asked.

Song Qi replied, "I'm not sure, these caravans have sixty or seventy carts, and there are also thirty or fifty carts, and a little smaller ones like this one may really trade tea and silk with the Mongols." ”

But Song Qi quickly changed the conversation and continued, "However, there is a caravan that dares to pack tickets, and it must be a trade with Jiannu. ”

"Which one? Why is Brother Song so sure? Luo Yangxing hurriedly asked.

"This person's surname is Fan, his name is Fan Yongdou, he is the largest businessman in Zhangjiakou, and his business scale is much larger than that of Wang Dengku and the others." Song Qi replied, "Four days ago, his caravan had a full hundred and fifty carts out of the customs, all of which were very rutted, and the carts must have been loaded with heavy objects such as iron tools. ”

"Well, four days ago, that was two days before Wang Dengku and their departure. With so many big cars and so many iron tools, this Fan, Fan Yongdou's suspicion must not be cleared. After listening to Song Qi's words, Luo Yangxing analyzed with certainty, "Moreover, this matter is also obvious, if I am a slave and want to smuggle a large amount of iron and grain from Daming, the first person to look for is naturally him, the largest merchant in Zhangjiakou." ”
