Chapter 197: Secret Visit XIV
After eating in the evening, Hao Qingqing saw that there was no one around, and asked Yang Chengzu in a low voice:
"Boss, what do you think about the military rations. Let me tell you, we often buy food from the military guards in the mountains, don't look at the border army is not full, but there are people who have a way to get the life-saving food of the border army out and resell it for money, this is not a secret in the nine sides at all. There are too many people doing this, whether it is the commander of each guard, the battalion officer, or the soldiers preparing the road and guarding the road, they all do this battalion, and even the governor is afraid that he has a hand in it. If you really check to the end, I don't know how many people will be, be careful when the time comes, it will not be easy to get out of Xi'an. ”
"I'm not stupid, I know what is going on here." Yang Chengzu said: "I came on Zhang Rong's order, that person is from a military class, and he acts in a military style. If I don't do anything, Zhang Rong won't be able to spare me when I go back. But he is also a person who understands, and he knows that I am a small hundred households in this matter, even if he is an uncle, he can't afford to be involved. That's why he sent me to play such a little trick, just to make peace with the mud, not to find out. ”
"If I do nothing, I will be incompetent and lazy. If I find out to the end, it will be that I don't know how to be a person and don't understand the importance of things. So what I have to do is to check some things, and give them to Zhang Rong after I go back, so that he can understand that I came here to work. As for the matter here, it is to hold it high and fall lightly, nothing has been found out, nothing has changed, and in this place on the three sides, if you want to get everything in order, then don't do anything. ”
Hao Qingqing stuck out her tongue, "The boss is really smart, it seems that I am worried in vain." It's just that you're like a shopkeeper every day, can you really find any evidence? ”
"The blessed don't have to be busy, the unblessed run out of their bowels, I guess I don't do anything, and there will be people who rush to send me the evidence. If I come by myself, even if it is the reincarnation of Bao Longtu, it will be useless. In this world, it does not mean that you are a good person, others will help you. Now that I have worshiped the dock of King Qin, with this inheritance, others will know that I have a way, and they will come by themselves without me moving. Otherwise, you'll just wait and see if I'm right or not. ”
Sure enough, at sunset the next day, someone sent a letter on the door and posted it in, and the name on it was vaguely written, only a word was written, and no name was written. When I invited people in, I saw a short and stout man with a face like black charcoal and a beard, who was already forty years old, dressed in a silk shirt, like a rich man.
But looking at the demeanor and calloused hands, you can see at a glance that this is a martial arts.
After Yang Chengzu let people in, the man first ordered a few elders to bring the gifts, and said with a smile: "This village has changed owners, I should have come to visit a long time ago, but I was stumped by some trivial things, and now I have taken the time to come, and I hope that the shopkeeper Yang will not be surprised." ”
"You know me?"
"That is, don't look at it for a long time, now there are a few people in our Xi'an Mansion who don't know, your famous Yang Da shopkeeper. I want to make you a friend, I don't know if I have this blessing. ”
"Brother Bi spoke too politely, and he was a guest when he did business. I am a foreigner, I am not familiar with the place, if I make friends with Brother Bi, it is my creation. Don't leave today, brother, please drink. ”
He saw that the gift from the surnamed Bi was very valuable, and the total price was worth several hundred taels of silver, although he did not know what he wanted, but it did not hurt to make such a friend.
The man surnamed Bi laughed and said, "I won't bother the shopkeeper Yang, but I want to borrow the shopkeeper Yang from Mrs. Yang." To tell you the truth, the foolish brother has a good woman in Xi'an, who cooks a good dish, I just want to invite you to eat there today, I don't know if the shopkeeper Yang will give face. ”
This is the case in this era, men sleep in flowers and willows, they will only be said to be elegant, the famous Sanyang and an old Ji flirt, not only no one says a word, but it is a good story. When a woman hears a man going out to visit the Qinglou, the most commendable behavior is to help her husband get the silver, and then pack up the clothes for the husband.
As for crying and wiping tears to scratch her husband's face, or taking the women's army to the door, it is probably inseparable from the comments of a jealous woman.
Hao Qingqing saw that the surnamed Bi had just met, so he pulled his father-in-law to drink flower wine, and he couldn't wait to draw his bow and shoot the black charcoal head surnamed Bi into a hedgehog. But on the surface, I still had to squeeze a smile and said, "Then the master will come back early." ”
When she was packing up her clothes, she whispered in Yang Chengzu's ear: "There are so many girls in our family, you come back to find whichever you want, and you are not allowed to hunt wild meat outside." ”
When they went out, they saw a carriage parked outside, and the two got into the carriage one after the other. The carriage rounded around and stopped all the way outside a small courtyard. This courtyard is located in the civilian area of Xi'an City, and the surroundings are bitter haha, when they see the carriage and a few shrewd and capable followers, they are all frightened and hide as far as they can.
After getting out of the car, Yang Chengzu praised: "This place is good, quiet in the chaos, although it is a private house, but the people saw the carriage, and saw you as a follower, but they hid away, even if Mrs. Zun has great powers, she may not be able to find where you are." ”
When the man surnamed Bi heard the word Mrs. Zun, his face twitched slightly, and his black face seemed to change color, but he didn't say anything, just came to the gate of the courtyard with Yang Chengzu and shouted, "I'm back." ”
A woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly came out to answer the door, first to the surname Bi, and then to Yang Chengzu, the three of them entered the house before and after, and the relatives were standing in a row outside.
Yang Chengzu saw that this woman was about in her early thirties, and her clothes were not expensive, and she cleaned up very neatly. The appearance is not very beautiful, but the more you look at it, the more you look at it, and more importantly, the good family temperament between the manners, at a glance, you can see that this is a woman from a good family, not from the place of the Qinglou or some half-hidden door. Obviously, this woman also knew that Yang Chengzu was coming, and there was a woman waiting in the room.
The woman looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was quite watery, but her face was as red as an apple, with the characteristics of the northwest. She was very shy, and when she saw Yang Chengzu coming, she was even more frightened like a deer, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.
The man surnamed Bi laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Yang is a friend of King Qin's thousand-year-old, and he has seen a lot of scenes. But like this regular dish, I'm afraid I don't eat much. ”
But looking at the young woman's trembling appearance, it seemed that she could run away at any time, and she didn't know who to call. The man slapped the table, "Ah Yue, this is what you arranged for Shopkeeper Yang?" You can't even call someone, but you're going back more and more about it, why don't you take my words seriously? ”
The woman who opened the door seemed to be very afraid of the surname Bi, and when she heard this, she knelt on the ground and said: "The master spares his life, the slave and maid will never dare not listen to the master, but the time is too urgent, and it is not easy to find the handsome one who looks good, this is a niece of the slave, she is not married yet, her face is tender, don't be angry." Later, she will definitely serve the shopkeeper Yang well, and she will not lose the master's people. ”
