Chapter 25: Caravans

~~~~~~~

Leaving the Baofeng Hall mansion, Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Although there were twists and turns tonight, the ending was always smooth.

Although Miss Qu is a woman, she should not be underestimated in terms of wisdom or psychological quality.

Working with such smart people is a lot less troublesome.

Back at the mansion in the west of the city, several women hadn't slept yet, Li Yuanqing smiled, "Yun Niang, sister-in-law Chunhua, if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me, just rest early." ”

Liu Chunhua hurriedly smiled: "Yuanqing, how can this be." You are the head of the family after all. There must always be a rule in the house. ”

Li Yuanqing also understood what Liu Chunhua meant, didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone is tired today." Let's all rest early. ”

With that, Li Yuanqing pulled Zhang Yunniang back to the room.

Although this mansion is very large, the houses are a little dilapidated, although it is not windy and rainy, but it is almost the same.

The quilts and bedding were all taken from the small house, which was very familiar and comfortable, Li Yuanqing hugged Zhang Yunniang and lay on the kang, "Yunniang, I left this time, and when I come back, you can't stay in Guangning anymore." ”

"Brother, why is that?" Although the house is dilapidated and rented, Zhang Yunniang likes this feeling very much and does not want to give up easily.

"I can't tell you about this matter for a while. Yun Niang, I'm not here, you are the head of the family, so, there are some things, you have to make up your mind. ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Zhang Yunniang's eyes.

Zhang Yunniang nodded hurriedly, "Brother Yuanqing, the slave family will try their best to do a good job." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "I can't say where I'm going to move this time?" You can send someone to inquire more, Tianjin or Denglai, what is the price of housing over there. ”

"Okay, Brother Yuanqing. I'll send someone tomorrow to inquire. ”

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanqing ordered Liu Chunhua to take 3 silver tickets of 1,000 taels and go to the money village to exchange them for loose tickets.

At this time, after discarding the more than 500 taels of silver used for refining medicines, renting a house, and miscellaneous manpower, Li Yuanqing still had more than 9,500 taels of silver on hand, which was not a small number.

On Mao Wenlong's side, Li Yuanqing thought carefully all night, giving too much, not good, giving less, not good. After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing set a quota of 1,000 taels, and he had to give all the loose tickets.

After all, Li Yuanqing is just a small flag, the butt decides the head, and many things have to start from his position.

And although it is a thousand taels, this can also relieve a lot of Mao Wenlong's urgent needs, and Mao Wenlong will definitely not hesitate to reward himself.

The remaining more than 8,500 taels of silver, except for Zhang Yunniang and Liu Chunhua, they wanted to take some of them away and go to Guan Nei to do business, and Li Yuanqing decided to hide the rest in Guangning City.

The best location is in this big house.

But Li Yuanqing will not let anyone know about this matter, including Zhang Yunniang.

There was an old ginkgo tree in the backyard of the big house, and the roots of the tree were surrounded by flower beds, so as to send the others clean, Li Yuanqing dug a long pit at the bottom of the flower bed, and buried the wooden box with four thousand taels of silver tickets at the bottom.

The remaining more than 3,000 taels of loose tickets exchanged by Liu Chunhua will be taken with Li Yuanqing, 1,000 taels will be left for Mao Wenlong, 2,500 taels will be left for Zhang Yunniang, and the remaining more than 2,000 taels will be used by Li Yuanqing for this trip to Shenyang City.

Although he had already decided to leave, he couldn't leave immediately, Li Yuanqing told Zhang Yunniang and Liu Chunhua to store more food and supplies in the house, try not to go out these days, and asked Liu Chunhua to buy a few big wolf dogs to take care of the home.

After explaining this, it was already noon, Li Yuanqing said goodbye to several women, and came to Yang Jiao~Niang's house near the slave market.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to use Yang Jiao~Niang as his agent to sell aphrodisiacs, but at this time, Baofengtang had all the goods, and it was obviously not possible.

Although Yang Jiao~ Niang was born in the ninth rate, she is old, has experienced a lot of things, has a lively brain, and has a wide range of contacts, she is definitely a useful chess piece, and Li Yuanqing does not want to give up.

"Huh. Jiao ~ Niang, you take this. Ye recently had a deal and wanted to leave Shenyang City for a while. Don't be hungry and thin. Li Yuanqing smiled and said meat words to Yang Jiao~ mother.

Yang Jiao~ When her mother saw it, Li Yuanqing shot a hundred taels of silver tickets, and the smile on her face couldn't help but be even worse, "Wrongdoer, why are you so good to the slave family?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Hehe." You're my other housewife. How can I wronged you? ”

Yang Jiao~ The mother's eye sockets are almost out of the water, the plump body has been attached to Li Yuanqing's body, and the hand has begun to untie Li Yuanqing's crotch.

Li Yuanqing made it clear, if he didn't touch Yang Jiao~ Niang, I'm afraid that this woman would not be able to really settle down.

Li Yuanqing did not stop Yang Jiao~Niang's movements, but said with a smile: "Jiao~Niang, I have an urgent matter today, and I am about to leave." Don't be so troublesome, let me see the master's unique work. ”

Yang Jiao~ How could her mother not understand what Li Yuanqing meant, and started in a moment, but she exclaimed, "Wrongdoer, I can't imagine that your capital is so thick." No wonder that medicine can be made. ”

“……”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, what kind of thinking. I don't bother to pay attention to this mother-in-law.

…………

Yang Jiao~ After all, her mother was born in this industry, and her skills were excellent, and Li Yuanqing didn't insist on it for a few minutes, so she was in a hurry.

Before leaving, Li Yuanqing instructed Yang Jiao~Niang: "Jiao~Niang, in the recent period, you don't want to pick up customers anymore." Inquire about the shops in Quang Ninh City, do you want to sell? ”

"Yes. The old lady is your other housewife, how can you still cheap those other men? ”

Yang Jiao~ glanced at Li Yuanqing, and suddenly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Wrongdoer, you, do you want to buy a farm?" ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

If you talk about collecting intelligence, there is nothing more suitable than a brothel, Yang Jiao~ Niang has been in the industry for 20 years, to be this old bustard, there will be no pressure, Li Yuanqing does not need to make money this time, as long as he can maintain it and not lose money, it will be enough.

Even if Guangning City falls into the hands of the Jurchen Tartars in the future, a field like a brothel will generally not have much turmoil.

"The cost should not exceed three thousand taels, inquire well, and I will come to you at the end of the month and give you silver."

"Hey~~, wrongdoer, you, are you really so relieved of me?"

But Yang Jiao~ Mother hadn't finished speaking, and Li Yuanqing had already left in a hurry.

…………

In the evening, Li Yuanqing came to the back door of Baofeng Hall on time, and there seemed to be nothing unusual here as usual, but Li Yuanqing felt that after this calm, he didn't seem to be at ease.

knocked on the door, and soon a house slave came to open the door, it was no longer the house slave yesterday, presumably, that house was already more than lucky.

"Madame asked me to come here." Li Yuanqing said lightly.

"Huh? Be. Uncle, please come here. The archsteward is already waiting for you. ”

Li Yuanqing followed the house slave to the courtyard, and saw a mother-in-law in her early forties, commanding more than a dozen men to load the carriage.

This woman's face is like wax, and she doesn't seem to have a human expression, just like a wax statue in later generations, and her voice is also a little hoarse, like a human-faced owl.

But Li Yuanqing knew that since Miss Qu asked her to receive her, she must be her confidant.

The house slave trotted over and whispered a few words to the mother-in-law, who nodded and said to Li Yuanqing: "Uncle Li, come with me." ”

Li Yuanqing didn't talk nonsense, and followed her quickly.

When she came to a remote house behind the courtyard, the woman opened the door and went in first, lit the oil lamp, and motioned for Li Yuanqing to follow suit.

As soon as Li Yuanqing entered the door, she closed the door with her hand, pointed to the thick leather jacket on top of a small cabinet and said, "You put this on." From now on, you are the guard of Zhang Ji Baofeng Hall. The sword is under the cabinet. Horses, the outside is ready. You have a quarter of an hour to change your clothes. A quarter of an hour later, the team assembled through the back door. Out of town. ”

After she finished speaking, she no longer glanced at Li Yuanqing, walked out of the door directly, and locked Li Yuanqing inside.

'Rub. Are you fucking menopause? Li Yuanqing took a sip, but he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly changed his clothes, put on a fur hat, and took out a waist knife from under the cabinet.

Not to mention, Miss Qu is not bad to herself, and the quality of the waist knife is very good, which is almost the same as the waist knife worn by the general manager of the official army.

Perhaps, she bought it from the official army.

After packing up and checking the two daggers hidden in his two boots, Li Yuanqing walked out of the hut.

Outside, the sky was completely dark, and with the howling north wind, the whole world looked a little desolate.

It is also strange to say that when Li Yuanqing came to this courtyard yesterday, he did not feel this way.

Dozens of people had gathered in the courtyard at this time, and the menopausal mother-in-law seemed to be lecturing, and when she saw Li Yuanqing coming, she motioned for Li Yuanqing to stand behind with her eyes.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly did so.

The woman continued: "Those who are obedient, those who endure hardships, and those who work hard, everyone will be rewarded when they come back." If someone dares to play tricks and do not contribute to the work, the business will be ruined. The old body can tolerate you, but God can't tolerate you. ”

This mother-in-law spoke very imposingly, and at first glance, she had been a superior for a long time, and Li Yuanqing was actually shocked.

Successful people must have merit.

Miss Qu is not a fluke that she can run this business.

The woman said a few more precautions, glanced at the night, waved her hand, and signaled the team to leave.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be surprised, didn't he say that he would only leave tomorrow morning? Li Yuanqing clearly remembered that last night, Miss Qu did say this to the maid.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing didn't have time to think, and hurriedly followed more than a dozen guards with knives behind the team.

…………

At this point, there were still vague pedestrians on the street, but when they saw this team coming, they gave way.

The procession did not stop, ignored the passers-by, walked the avenue, and soon went out of the city through the west gate.

In a small forest three or four miles outside the city, Li Yuanqing saw that there seemed to be many people waiting here, and there were more than 100 horses on the small slope next to it, all of which were of good quality.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, this posture, I'm afraid that he can catch up with the previous chief soldier.

Ordinary general soldiers, I'm afraid, will definitely not be able to take out so many horses.

The leading menopausal mother-in-law dismounted and whispered a few words to a tall and thin old man, and an entourage ran over to the tall and thin old man, and said to Li Yuanqing's saber guards: "A few of you, come and fetch the horse." ”

"Yes." The leading guard replied respectfully, and trotted in the direction of the horses.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly followed.

They said that they would take the horses, but they didn't have a part to choose at all, and depending on which horse the horse's guard gave you, you had to ask for whichever one, and they wouldn't even say a word.

Fortunately, these horses are good, very strong, energetic, and able to bear hardships and stand hard work.

Li Yuanqing's dozen guards were assigned horses and returned to the team on Baofengtang's side.

At this time, two more teams came from the direction of Quang Ninh City, and their process was almost exactly the same as that of Baofeng Hall.

After about half an hour of busy work, the team was basically cleaned up.

The leading old man nodded to a very vicious and tall man with a full beard beside him, who put his fingers in his mouth, whistled vigorously, and said as if singing a song: "The God of Wealth is open, walking." ”
