Suzhou is too far away from Liaodong, first through the canal to the capital, from the capital to Liaodong. （）

However, since the new road from Liaodong to the capital was repaired, the speed of this line has been much faster, and it can reduce the world by at least half.

However, for a caravan like Zhang Quan, the speed still has to be suppressed after all, and when he learned that there was a war in Liaodong, he never went all out, so he had not yet arrived in Liaodong, but the distance between the two was not very far.

In recent days, I have heard that the Mongols have been defeated, and the horse market in eastern Liaodong has returned to normal, and the number of Mongolian merchants has increased several times, probably to save some things for next year.

Perhaps they were afraid that there would be a war, and it would be very difficult to buy these things in the future, and some Mongolian merchants made a lot of money by hoarding them in advance, which attracted more and more Mongolians to come and do business.

It doesn't cost anything, it is just to use the daily output at hand, such as wool to hunt fur, and some mountain ginseng, etc., you can exchange for a lot of tea, porcelain and silk.

In comparison, Liaodong is now more lively than before, although it is approaching the New Year, it has not been idle.

After learning this news, Zhang Quan and Li Xinglong were naturally overjoyed, thinking that if this batch of silk was sold, they would be able to earn at least six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver, and they would be able to make a lot of money by selling some mountain goods with this batch of silver, and the silver would be multiplied several times in a few months.

It's better for Li Xinglong, the Li family is a big family, and the business has not been small over the years, and the money that has come and gone is gratifying, but it will not make him too moved.

But for Zhang Quan, it is another thing to say, in the past ten years, the business has not been small, but it has always been only at the lower middle level, and the business of 100,000 taels of silver is already the largest he has ever done.

This is all after meeting Shen Wuyan, in the past, the business was nothing more than 120,000 taels of silver, and he was frightened, but after Shen Wuyan's guidance, he threw out his family, but he started a business of 100,000 taels of silver, and now it can reach one million, it is really unimaginable.

After all, Daming can have such a business. They are all powerful families, like the Li family, and they are almost dilapidated because of the silk of 700,000 taels of silver, but now they have this ability, but it is enough to make Zhang Quan excited.

Passing through this nameless town, you can pass Erlong Mountain in two days' journey, and it is not too far from Liaoyang.

Because it's getting late. So he lived in this inn with the strange name of Boning.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a book in his hand. It seems that he is an old pedant, Zhang Quan didn't care too much, but he was helpless. After all, there's only one inn nearby.

However, Li Xinglong glanced at the middle-aged shopkeeper a few more times, and seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time, so he didn't care.

He placed the carriage in the backyard of the inn, and then walked over to the middle-aged scholar who was only looking down to read, and glanced at the faint candlelight on the counter. Li Xinglong smiled lightly: "This gentleman ......"

"Something?" The middle-aged scholar raised his head and glanced at Li Xinglong, and said coldly: "The guy will take the two of them to the guest room, there is no problem with the carriage in the backyard, and there will be no robbers in the vicinity ......"

After a little hesitation, the middle-aged scholar said again: "Your Excellency doesn't need to worry about the store being a black store...... In the backyard is the goods of the merchants......"

When the middle-aged scholar said this, Li Xinglong's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. misunderstood...... I just think that Mr. is a little familiar. But listening to the accent is not ......"

"Listening to your accent, it looks like Suzhou...... Coincidentally, I have indeed been to Suzhou in the next, and I think I have indeed had a relationship with Your Excellency. The middle-aged scholar's tone was always indifferent.

Li Xinglong saw that the other party had no intention of talking to him, so he said: "I think it's like this...... Then I will take my leave......"

As he spoke, Li Xinglong made a pot of wine and ordered some side dishes. and Zhang Quan walked towards the guest room.

In the room, Zhang Quan's face was slightly ugly, probably because he was a little tired after a day of running, and he drank a few glasses of wine with Li Xinglong, but he didn't say a few words, and left to return to his room.

By this time it was already night.

The small shop has gradually calmed down, and the merchants who should have been settled have long been settled. There were only a few men left in the shop who were busy closing, and the scholar was still studying.

Suddenly, the door that had not yet been closed was suddenly knocked open by a man, or rather, the person just looked like a man with a face, but he was dressed in a bewitching costume, so even ordinary women did not dare to wear it easily.

The guys were surprised by the uninvited guests coming to the store, especially after seeing the man's dress, everyone was stunned.

However, the scholar on the counter didn't think so, and just said lightly: "This guest officer...... Hit the tip or stay in the hotel......"

The bewitching man's voice was very sharp, not like the voice ......of a normal person.

The middle-aged scholar sneered, and then glanced at the bewitching man, only to find that the man's right arm was empty, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, before he said, "Live in the hotel...... Dude arranges the rooms. ”

The bewitching man didn't care about the eyes of the guy in the shop, and the rudeness of the middle-aged scholar, looked around the shop, and followed the guy upstairs.

"Don't you want to order some food and drink?"

Before the bewitching man walked into the room, the middle-aged scholar suddenly said, "There are still some old wine cellars in the store......

"I want an altar...... I want a few side dishes......" The bewitching man turned his head slightly and said lightly.

……

Deeper nights.

Zhang Quan couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, listening to the whirring wind by the window, he couldn't help tightening the quilt, but his eyes stayed on the stove with slight sparks, and his heart sank suddenly.

Suddenly, the closed door opened gently, and then a breeze blew, Zhang Quan suddenly felt a thick sleepiness coming, and then fell asleep. The next moment the window opened and closed, and the door shut.

It didn't take too long, the door opened again, but I saw a person holding a steel needle, flying needles towards the bed, and after one needle, there were more than ten needles in an instant, and then he dodged away.

Not far from this room, where the candlelight had not yet been extinguished, a bewitching man was sitting at the table admiring his slender arms.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and suddenly a steel needle appeared in his hand, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who ......?"

"The shopkeeper said come and add a few side dishes to the guest officer......

Hearing the voice of the guy in the store, the bewitching man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "No need." ”

The man had no intention of leaving, and even pushed open the door and walked in, and suddenly the bewitching man's face changed, and he turned around and was about to get angry, but he was stunned.

He is very familiar with the man dressed as this guy in front of him, and he can even say that he will never forget this person in his life, every time in the dead of night, he will slash this person countless times in his heart, but he still can't vent the anger in his heart.

Seeing it again at this time, he was suddenly a little overwhelmed: "You...... Sink...... Mr. Shen ......"

Shen Wuyan smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see...... I miss it so much. ”

The bewitching man sneered and sneered: "There is no ......"

Suddenly, Shen Wuyan felt that there seemed to be something strange in the other party's gaze, so he hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "You Jinyiwei are really not clever over there...... I came here from Liaoyang and didn't find it. ”

"It's the people of Dongchang below, not Jinyiwei...... What's more, Mr. Shen is now in Liaodong, and I am afraid that no one dares to monitor ...... at will" The bewitching man said in a deep voice: "Deputy Chief Soldier of Liaodong...... Mr. Shen is indeed incomprehensible. ”

Shen Wuyan smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I don't want to be the position of the chief soldier...... But since I am ...... Well, if you kill someone, this thing should always be spread out. ”

"Joke, when have you ever killed someone?" The bewitching man suddenly found that he seemed to be a little nervous, something he had not done since he became famous, but at this time, he felt like this in front of this person.

Shen Wuyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of the rich and noble face in the room on the side, and this ...... Anyway, both of them died from your flying needle. ”

"There are more needles in this world...... Why do you say that I killed people, and even if I killed them? The bewitching man sneered.

Shen Wuyan was stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But it's also ...... Dongchang really doesn't care who he wants to kill...... But I'm still curious, those two people know me, one is my shopkeeper...... One is an in-law. ”

The bewitching man obviously didn't expect Shen Wuyan to have such a relationship with those two, and he pondered for a while before saying, "I was acting on orders...... If Mr. Shen has any doubts, he can go to the capital to find Gonggong Meng. ”

"You know you can't leave Liaodong." Shen Wuyan said in a deep voice.

The bewitching man chuckled, waved his hand and said, "That has nothing to do with being below...... Mr. Shen, please ......"

"I'm afraid it is...... I can't excuse myself......" Shen Wuyan hesitated for a moment, and then heard a heavy footstep.

"Jin Yiwei." The two said in unison.

Shen Wuyan smiled bitterly, ran downstairs helplessly, and clenched his fists at one of the leaders of the brocade guards who walked into the room, and said, "How many ...... What's the matter here? ”

The leader of the brocade guards said in a deep voice: "I received an urgent report from Suzhou that the Weaving Bureau had lost a batch of silk, so it was necessary to investigate from house to house. ”

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as losing the silk......" Shen Wuyan sighed bitterly, and said: "It should be very important to lose it, stealing something that is enough to kill the head......"

The Jinyi Guard's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Chief Shen has to stop the Jinyi Guard from handling the case?" ”

"Don't dare to ......," Shen Wuyan immediately turned around and made way for him.

The goods are stored in the backyard, and a simple inspection will have a number, and soon there will be a report that there is a situation.

After understanding the situation, the leader immediately looked at Shen Wuyan, suddenly sneered, and said loudly: "Come on, arrest this rebellious thief......"

Shen Wuyan seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, but he just glanced back at the middle-aged scholar who had been standing by the counter reading a book, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then left with a group of brocade guards.
