Twenty-one people

After dinner, the three of them came together, which made Chen Yan a little surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow the dynasty is the treasurer, although Mahan is still the street secretary, and the iron bull is responsible for the purchase. The three of them must have something to discuss with themselves when they came here.

Let Shuang'er go and make a pot of tea, the four brothers sat in the outer hall, Wang Dynasty gave Ma Han a look, and the strong man coughed and said: "Qicheng, that's the case, our Wang Ji's business is getting better and better now......"

Chen Yanyi stretched out his hand to interrupt his words and said, "They are all their own brothers, so there is no need to do any foreshadowing, just say it." ”

"There is a store in Qingxuan City that sells cash, and the price is also low, I discussed it with Brother Wang Chao and Brother Tieniu, can we take it down and open a branch."

Chen Yan thought about it, the business of this Malatang shop is indeed good now, and it has only been open for half a month to make a lot of money every day, although it is necessary to open a branch, but it is a little early to open a branch at this time, after all, there is not much silver in his hand. When he looked at Ma Han's somewhat eager eyes, he suddenly understood that Ma Han must have wanted to quit his job as a street priest and come to Wang Ji to work. He and Wang Chao have been on the street for a long time, so it is natural to be a shopkeeper. It's better to be a street clerk than to be a shopkeeper. Wang Chao also told him about this a few days ago, but Chen Yan felt that he had to have someone from the yamen to take care of him when he opened a store, so he didn't let Ma Han come to the store, but now it seems that the three of them have discussed it. I really treat them as brothers, and if I have any other thoughts, I really can't help this friendship.

"Okay, tomorrow Brother Ma Han will take me to see the store, if it's really good, I'll take it down."

The three of them were immediately overjoyed, originally they were afraid that Chen Yan would oppose it. The four of them chatted about the things in the store for a while, and then the three of them left.

Chen Yan called Shuang'er out and asked, "How many silver taels do we have in our family?" ”

Shuang'er calculated for a moment and said, "It's less than two hundred taels, and this has to count the silver money on the counter." ”

Chen Yan rubbed his temples, and said in his heart that he had just lived a few days of worry-free food and clothing, and now that he was fine, he had to tighten his belt again. Shuang'er walked over, stretched out his little hand to massage Chen Yan's head, and said slowly: "Childe is worried about the money for opening a store?" ”

Chen Yan's head rested on Shuang'er's soft chest, and he sighed, continue to enjoy, hey, it feels good!

"Why don't you partner with someone?" Shuang'er said.

Chen Yan pondered for a while, but he thought of the shopkeeper Liu, but his own small business, people may not be able to see it, besides, he is not poor enough to open a branch, it is a big deal to save some flowers in the future, and after surviving these days, the income of the two stores has come up, and he naturally does not have to worry about these things.

Early the next morning, Mahan came to the door. Chen Yanxin said that you are really anxious, but he didn't say anything, washed his clothes, and went out with Ma Han.

At this time, if it is converted to the time of the later generations, that is, around eight o'clock in the morning, but the streets of Bianliang City are already full of people, peddlers and pawns, sons and girls, a lively scene.

Ma Han led the way in front, Chen Yan followed in the back without hurrying, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt quite a bit of a feeling of being in the Qingming Shanghe map. The two crossed the Jinshui Bridge, bypassed the Bianhe River, and came to the northwest gate of Qingxuan City.

Chen Yan stood on the side of the street and looked, this is indeed a good location, opposite is the Great Qianming Temple, diagonally opposite is the Qinglou District, the southwest corner is a few small wharves, people come and go, there are merchants, pilgrims, it can be said that all kinds of people have it, it is really an excellent place to do business.

"How?" Mahan asked in a low voice.

Chen Yan nodded, and Ma Han continued: "The rent for a year is only twenty yuan, plus utensils, and employing people, one hundred or ten yuan is enough." ”

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you, brother."

Ma Han was overjoyed, he didn't expect that his new acquaintance with this brother was really arrogant. The two of them were talking about some specific matters about opening the store, but I don't know when there were a bunch of people around, making a commotion, and some people were crying.

This is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and Chen Yan is naturally no exception, so he walked over with Ma Han, squeezed into the crowd and took a look, only to see a strong man pulling a woman, scolding and scolding in his mouth. The woman was cloaked in a cloak and kept shouting that you don't want to go with you, that you are a human trafficker or something.

The strong man saw that there were more and more people around, so he took out a piece of paper and shouted, "What are you looking at!" I have a deed of sale here, and this little lady is mine! ”

Ma Han pulled Chen Yan and said in a low voice: "This guy is a splash around here, called Duan Liu, and he is from the Five Rivers Society. ”

"What is the Five Rivers Society?"

Ma Han then explained to Chen Yan. In the words of later generations, these five rivers will be an underworld gang, and most of the people in the association are scoundrels, doing some shady business, extorting some money from those merchants on weekdays, abducting and selling women and children, and even half of the digital heads in Bianliang City are controlled by this five rivers society, and they are very powerful. The government has also cracked it out a few times, but the effect is not great.

"That Song Chengxiang is also a member of the Five Rivers Society. Presumably, this woman is going to be sold to Qinglou. Forcing good people to become prostitutes is such a thing, and the Five Rivers Association has done a lot of it. ”

Chen Yan pondered for a while, and said in his heart that he didn't plan to take care of this matter today, but since this is the case, then he has to mix and mix, otherwise the grievances of the dynasty will not be in vain? ! He is not a person who is afraid of things, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, a typical example of helping relatives and not helping, the dynasty has lost face, he has to get him back, is it not that Mahan is here, he can still suffer? ! Thinking of this, Chen Yan walked out of the crowd, came to the body of Duan Liu, stretched out his hand and directly avoided the deed of sale, and said with a smile: "Your deed of sale is fake!" ”

Duan Liu was used to running rampant around here, and was a little confused by Chen Yan's appearance, and subconsciously said: "How can it be fake?!" There's a picture of this woman on it. ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and directly tore up the deed of sale, and said lightly: "Don't keep the fake things, what do you say?" ”

That Duan Liu was immediately furious, let go of the woman, and punched him directly, before Ma Han next to him could reach out, a big hand stretched out from Chen Yan's side and grabbed Duan Liu's wrist directly, and then the man kicked it directly and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's all said to be fake, and you have to go unpunished!"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, blinked, and said, "Thank you Brother Tai for your help, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”

"Under Di Yong, Di Guanjie."

This time, not only Chen Yan was surprised, but everyone in the audience let out an exclamation. Who is this Di Yong, Di Qing's second son, the east head worship official, the pavilion door is only waiting, and the first beautiful man in the Song Dynasty today. Although the official name of this Di Yong is longer, it is simply a high-ranking guard in the palace, so even if his father Di Qing leads the army to quell the rebellion in the south, it is impossible for him to go with the army. Counting that his father has been quelling the rebellion in the south for almost a year, and the war is still unknown, Di Yong is very bored, so he came out for a walk, and Na Cheng wanted to encounter such a thing.

Di Yong could see that this young scholar must have something to rely on before he dared to come out to take care of this matter, he didn't have to make a move, but he still made a move, and reported his name, he did this just to ensure the safety of this scholar, after all, this Wuhe will have a lot of power in Bianliang City, but how arrogant will Wuhe be, and dare to trouble him? !

Chen Yan smiled stupidly, looked at Duan Liu, who was lying where he was twitching, and hugged his fists at Di Yong, but turned around and left, since someone was responsible for this matter today, he naturally didn't have to mix here. I have to say that this Di Yong is really handsome, even from the perspective of later generations, he is also handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall figure, a heroic face, full of manly masculinity, standing with others, Chen Yan suddenly felt that the gap was too big. No wonder he was called "human" by Song Yingzong, and now he has seen it!

Di Yong watched Chen Yan leave without saying a word, and was suddenly a little puzzled, but since it's over, let's go! That knew that as soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, the corner of his clothes was pulled by someone, and when he turned his head, he saw the woman kneeling on the ground, crying silently: "Thank you for saving your life, the little girl is willing to serve Engong." ”

"Ugh!" Di Yong was dumbfounded, and finally understood why the scholar left in a hurry just now.
