According to Wang Huaqiang's plan, in the process of connecting with An Sui's family this time, he laid a foreshadowing in Guzang City, prompting the gang of profiteers in Guzang City to turn against Liu Jushi and his gang, and then used the wealthy businessmen in Guzang City to report Liu Jushi's gang, giving Gao Xi a fuse to investigate and deal with Liu Jushi's gang, and also allowing himself to have a reasonable escape action, which requires a careful plan and arrangement.

This plan is actually the most risky step in the whole plan, even if she flees to the grassland, if Princess Dayi grits her teeth and kills people, then Wang Huaqiang's life will be lost on this grassland, so how to let himself live safely until the time when Changsun Sheng comes to the Turkic dignitaries, this is a problem that Wang Huaqiang has been thinking about every day for a while.

A rush of footsteps disrupted Wang Huaqiang's thoughts, and the voice of the shopkeeper Liu Fucai penetrated into his ears far away: "Young owner, young owner, there is a distinguished guest coming to you." ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, he came to Liangzhou Guzang secretly this time, and did not go to see the heads of the An family and the Li family, and even in order to avoid people's eyes, he couldn't live every day, and there was only one person to wait, that is, the person sent by the An Sui family to send him the 1,800 catties of gold.

Wang Huaqiang stood up, and a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body suddenly bumped in outside the door, with a round face and small eyes, wearing a silk dress and a round fan hat, it was Liu Fucai, the shopkeeper of this Wang family's shop, he said excitedly: "Young owner, the distinguished guest has come to look for you." ”

Wang Huaqiang calmly said "oh": "What distinguished guest?" ”

Liu Fucai had a smile on his face: "It's what you have always told me, saying that someone came to find Uncle Wei Chi, and they came to you." ”

Wang Huaqiang snorted heavily, and suddenly looked at Liu Fucai, his eyes were sharp: "Shopkeeper Liu, I remember reminding you twice, my affairs here must be kept absolutely confidential, you are running all the way here today, are you afraid that others will not know that I am in the store?" ”

Liu Fucai was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face immediately turned into fear, he followed Wang Huaqiang through the caravan for two years, knowing that this young owner was powerful, at this time he must not justify, and hurriedly slapped himself: "The little one should be damned, he is eager to repay his merits, he didn't notice this for a while, and asked the young owner to punish him." ”

Wang Huaqiang snorted heavily, the Wang family's shop in the past few years was taken care of by an old family member Wang Wang who had followed his own grandfather, Uncle Wang died, there was no successor, there was not much available talent, although he tried his best to make the business bigger in the past two years, but he did not find that an excellent deputy could be alone.

As a last resort, Wang Huaqiang had to pull out the general among the dwarfs, so that Liu Fucai, who was born in a business gang and had average talents, but was still loyal and honest in nature, became the shopkeeper of Guzang here.

In the past two years, Wang Huaqiang himself has not come to Guzang again, this branch has the largest annual investment, but the output is very unsatisfactory, on this Silk Road, the important town of Guzang with unlimited business opportunities, can only barely maintain a balance of payments, the reason is obviously that Liu Fucai is not effective, the business ability is really limited, he has been a shopkeeper for two years, and he is like a guy who runs the hall, he can't save anything in his heart, and he shouts all the way from the front hall to here.

Wang Huaqiang endured the unhappiness in his heart, and decided to ask things clearly first, he asked coldly: "Shopkeeper Liu, let me ask you first, who is looking for Uncle Wei Chi in front?" Are you sure it's someone else who is trying to find out or that you're looking for the wrong person? ”

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly shook his head, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to Wang Huaqiang: "Someone came to hold this jade pendant, you have ordered the shape of this jade pendant, obviously it will not be fake." ”

Wang Huaqiang took it over and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the jade pendant of the An Sui family, he nodded, and said to the shopkeeper Liu: "Who is the person who came?" Is it a shrewd and capable Turk in his forties? ”

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and said, "No, it's a young man of medium stature, wearing a felt hat and keeping the brim down, by the way, he said Turkic dialect, and he said that he was going to come to Wei Chiqin, and he couldn't be wrong." ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, and he said to Shopkeeper Liu: "You brought this person here, by the way, I must punish you for your mistake today, and you will go to the account room in a while and punish yourself with half a month's salary." ”

Shopkeeper Liu was overjoyed, he thought that he might be expelled, but he didn't expect to be able to escape, thanked him repeatedly, and ran out happily.

Wang Huaqiang sighed secretly and shook his head, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no suitable candidate in his hands, he would have wanted to transfer this Liu Fucai back to the mainland and replace him in Guzang City, but the shopkeeper of several of his other shops was not as good as this Liu Fucai, and none of them could even speak Turkic and Sogdian like him, so he could only show a small punishment, and then slowly find a suitable candidate to replace him in the future.

Just thinking about it, Liu Fucai led a medium-sized, slightly thin figure, wearing a leather coat, and a felt hat pressed low over, this time he learned to be obedient, and he didn't dare to shout from a distance, until he led people into the door, and then said to Wang Huaqiang: "Shaodong, someone has been brought." ”

The man raised his head, and it was An Suiyu, who winked at Wang Huaqiang mischievously.

Since Wang Huaqiang knew that the person who came was not Hatler just now, he guessed that it might be this Turkic girl, his expression was still calm, and he said to Liu Fucai: "Shopkeeper Liu, you go down, without my orders, the business in the front yard is as usual, you can make your own decisions about what business matters, don't ask me, no one is allowed to enter or leave this backyard." ”

Liu Fucai answered yes, turned around and left, and closed the door before leaving.

An Suiyu tilted her head, took off her felt hat, her pigtails suddenly drooped, a trace of disappointment flashed on her face, and asked, "Wei Chiqin, you don't seem to be strange at all, can you guess that it's me?" ”

Wang Huaqiang replied lightly: "Your brother's surname is An, presumably from the An family of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames in the Western Regions, you should not be pure-blooded Turks." ”

An Suiyu's face changed: "How do you know about this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Miss An, don't forget, I also have my own shop in this Guzang City, which is this Wang family shop, this Guzang City is the largest city connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and it is also the place where wealthy merchants gather on the Silk Road. If I don't even know the surname Zhaowujiu, then I don't have to mix it up here. ”

The surname Zhaowu Jiu is a descendant of the Yueshi clan, a great country in the Western Regions, also known as the Sogdians. At that time, the Dayue clan was defeated by the Xiongnu generation of male lords, who had besieged the Han Gaozu Liu Bang in Baideng, and even the king's head was taken by Mao Dunshan Yu to make a wine cup, and the remaining Yueshi people could only move west with hatred, retreat to the west of the Green Ridge, and settle down in the area of Hezhong (now Central Asia and Afghanistan) and established Bactria .

After the Yueshi people settled in Daxia, they formed a unique way of survival based on agriculture and taking into account animal husbandry, and their branches were crowned kings, scattered all over the country, among which the most famous one took Zhaowu as the surname, and later divided into nine surnames such as Kang, He, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, Shi, Mu, etc., each established a small country in the city-state style, which was the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Because the Zhaowu nine surnames have always been in the golden area of the Silk Road, so although the country is small and weak, but united, relying on huge financial resources, buying strong grassland mercenaries, but also to protect the country's peace for hundreds of years, the overlord of the grassland from the Xiongnu, Xianbei to Rouran and then to the Turks, changed one after another, but the Zhaowu nine surnames are as stable as Mount Tai, only nominally to the grassland overlord to show submission.

The Sogdians have a natural business acumen and thousands of years of business experience, and the major families have been merchants for generations, transporting Western pearls, spices, carpets and other goods to the Central Plains in exchange for gorgeous silk, and every Sogdian man's life is spent on the hump of the Silk Road.

Wang Huaqiang looked at An Suiyu and smiled: "Miss An, in fact, since I first heard Brother An's surname, I have noticed it, because the An family in the nine surnames of Zhaowu is a big surname, and the ancestors of the An family in this Guzang City are from An Guo in the Hezhong region, and they have been operating here for hundreds of years, and they are also rich in Guzang." Brother An relied on his business talent to make a name for himself in the Turks, so he had to investigate Brother An's origins. ”
