There is also a big inn in Ningxia Town, Wang Tong and his party are the same as the previous times, as usual, they want to charter a big inn to live in, it takes not long from the city gate to the inn, but Wang Tong They actually dodged three times. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Like the city gate, there are arrogant guards of the Whit family, and pedestrians and merchants must always avoid it, otherwise they will invite trouble.

Approaching the end of the year, except for some wealthy merchants in the Western Regions who are still in the city, there are no foreign merchants, Wang Tong and his people can find an inn with enough scale to live in, and give enough silver, and the shopkeeper with few manpower immediately sent people to call those guys who went back for the New Year.

ushered in the delivery, the innkeeper's eyesight was also enough, and he could also see that Wang Tong's business was fake, and wandering was real.

"Guest officer, you are old and new to the northwest, Ningxia Zhencheng is the first place in the border town, but the most prosperous place is not here, you have to go to the Ningxia guard over there Great Wall Pass and Gaoping Fort, where the Huamachi, Shaanxi and Tartar salt merchants are staying there, eating, drinking and having fun, much better than here.

Coming from Yan'an Mansion and walking through Qingtongxia, the idler who led the way also said the same thing.

For inland merchants, there is no big difference between the goods transported here and the grassland, the benefits of border trade are far less abundant than those border towns in the east, the highest in Ningxia town is the pond salt, Ningxia town is close to several salt lakes, the salt produced in the lake is the highest quality in this era, the so-called snowflake fine salt.

Whether these salts are trafficked on the grassland or to Shaanxi, they are quite profitable, and people cannot live without salt to control the salt ponds, and many tribes on the grassland will take refuge.

The Great Wall Pass and Gaoping Fort are both fortresses on the side wall, Yanchi is near here, as long as Ningxia Town has enough force, it can control Yanchi, the Roaring family has a son, that is, the righteous son of Roaring Worship, Roaring Yun, where he does guerrillas, guarding the local area, the Roaring family's armed forces plus Ningxia Town's soldiers and horses, the advantages of the Hetao are obvious, and the Salt Pond is naturally in their control.

According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, after the Whistling family took control of the salt pool, the strength of the governor began to swell, and of course, the ears and hearts also started.

Although the Ningxia guard is rich and is the economic lifeline of the entire Ningxia, Wang Tong can't take care of it now, so he just said to the shopkeeper: "I'm going to go west after the first month, and there's nothing to care about in Yanchi." "The guest officer is going to Hamiwei and Yili Bari to have a look, it's not bad, many of our businessmen in Daming have gone to do business in the past two years!" ”

The people who do the inn are well-informed, not to mention that it is an important town in the northwest like Ningxia, in fact, in Ningxia Wei, there are deserts and mountains on the road to block it, it is a detour, but it is just a few idle words, no one will take it seriously.

Settle down here, but there are guards who change their clothes and go out, approaching the New Year, the shopkeeper and men of the inn are less than 100 people, and there are so many horses, and they can't pay attention to everyone's actions, if they see the dress of this guard, they will definitely be startled.

Wearing a sheepskin jacket and a fur hat, he was completely dressed as a local, and he couldn't see anything unusual when he walked down the street.

If the Whit family is really doing something, the branch stationed here in Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yamen must be closely watched, and the communication must be cautious, otherwise I am afraid that there will be Ma Zhen.

It was not only this disguised guard who went out, but also a few people who left the inn in the name of hanging out, and it was common for outsiders to always go out for a walk when they came.

There are several large commercial houses inside and outside the town of Ningxia, although they are not merchants in the Sanjiang system, but they have connections with the naturalized merchant group, and they go there to tell them their identities as necessary, just saying that if there is a caravan from the naturalized side, let them go to a certain inn to say hello and contact Xia Yunyun.

It is not uncommon for merchants and naturalised trade groups to inform the local branches of the relevant firms in their business, and the local branches always have to help.

Putting these arrangements aside, Wang Tong himself led a few henchmen to walk around the inn inside and out, which is no different from watching the battle before the war, people in a different place, always have to make all kinds of preparations, deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, familiar with the terrain is always more important, always can't be in the face of a black eye.

Along the way, the wind food camp, come here to arrange things first, back to the inn also feel hard, the inn chef is also home for the New Year, but the meal is also simple, the sheep cleaned up and cooked, get out and cut large pieces to eat, the rest is nothing more than pickles and pastries.

The people in the store saw Wang Tong and they ate sweetly, but they were a little puzzled, although they were dusty, but Wang Tong and his people were dressed up, horses and luggage were all first-class luxury merchants, and the accent or something, obviously from the east, it stands to reason that this Ningxia rough food should not be used to, but everyone didn't care, he didn't expect that in Datong, Shanxi to go to Guihua City, eat the same thing.

After eating, a simple wash, Wang Tong was about to go to sleep, just the first day, what else could there be, he also drank a glass of wine during the meal, plus the body was tired, and the head hit the pillow and the sleepiness hit.

It didn't take much time to close his eyes, but he heard a noise outside, which woke Wang Tong up from his sleep, and his hand immediately touched the handle of the knife.

Sober up and listen carefully, this noisy and noisy is outside the inn, and it is mixed with the sound of scolding and shouting, speaking the Tiantu dialect of Ningxia, but it is not very different from the official dialect, and you can still hear that it is noisy, it is the usual provocation and insult before the fight.

"Master, it's the two groups of people outside the inn who are fighting!" Wang Tong tidied up his shirt a little, stuffed the short gun under his robe, walked out of the door with a waist knife, and asked after going out: "There is a garrison opposite here, and there are people who dare to fight in front of the official mansion?" ”

Ningxia town is not big, such big inns are in the central area of the city, the central area is generally the residential area of the rich and noble family and the official office, the chief soldier yamen, the governor yamen are here, this garrison is responsible for the patrol and defense of the town of Ningxia itself.

Some of the border towns do not have civil officials, all of them are managed by military generals, this garrison is actually the magistrate of Ningxia town, in addition to the garrison, but also responsible for public security, arrest and other duties, someone dares to fight in such a place, even if it is an ordinary local government official who will not let go, not to mention where such soldiers with knives are, isn't this looking for their own death?

When Wang Tong asked this, the guards outside naturally knew what they meant, and the guards replied with a rather strange face: "Fight with the people of the Roaring family!" ”

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and said, "Go up and have a look!" ”

Regardless of whether the big inn is useful or not, it is also a two-storey, the street is full of a scene, and when I walked to the front, I saw the shopkeeper shouting at the guys to close the door, while complaining in a low voice there: "It's almost the New Year, and there is no stop, the wax moon is playing, look at this look, and the first month will be played, and when you are full, go back to sleep with the mother-in-law, and do a lot of tossing here!" This side went over and said, the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and led Wang Tong up, and said as he walked: "The guest officer doesn't know, Ningxia Zhencheng was originally a peaceful place, who wants to start this July, the city doesn't know what evil has been hit, three days of two fights, the people of the Roaring family and the people below the general army fight, and the people below the governor are also beaten, and the people of this garrison are also beaten, a dozen is a miasma, don't do business, and in October was rushed in, broke a lot of things, Now when I saw that they were going to fight, I simply closed the door first. ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Tongcai suddenly realized, no wonder when he entered the city gate, he saw the soldiers guarding the city with injuries on their faces, and he dared to do so.

Upstairs into the room facing the street, Ningxia place to this time, the windows are thick cotton curtains, the lower curtain is quite troublesome, is busy here, has heard the outside scolding became intense, the curtain is removed, open the window, the outside has gone to the hands to fight.

Fortunately, it was winter, and the dust on the ground was not large, and you could see clearly from above, and the two gangs were already in a mess on the street in front of the inn.

The garrison is a thousand-household station, and the officers and soldiers are naturally wearing uniforms, while the cadres of the Roar family are all leather robes and cloth clothes, dressed as ordinary house slaves, and the two sides do not use any swords, the most is to hold wooden sticks and leather whips, and more are punches and kicks.

Looking at it above, the two groups of people can easily distinguish it, Ma Sanbiao looked at it, and said angrily: "There are many people in the garrison!" ”

People who go out can see that there are few people in the Whistling family and many people in the garrison, but the people of the Whine family have the upper hand in the fight, whether it is fighting alone or a few people working together, the people in the garrison are not opponents at all, and the shopkeeper who will be put to the ground after three punches and two kicks is too lazy to look at this excitement, so he explained in the back: "These people from the Whine family are looking for trouble everywhere, and they are still less people and more people, and they don't suffer any losses, they have to go sideways in this city, and if they have this kung fu, go out and shoot a few sheep and come back for money, What are you fighting all day long here, and you have no place to use your strength? "It's not surprising that the family fights soldiers, and it is not surprising that they can fight like this. ”

Wang Tong muttered in a low voice, turned around and asked: "The garrison is all like some errand soldiers, is it the same with the shopkeeper and the general soldier?" ”

"The general soldier can't do it either, the beaten ones hid in the general soldiers' mansion and didn't dare to come out, and now they don't dare to wear uniforms on the street, and they are very soft.

The shopkeeper said quite disdainfully, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, several people by the window exchanged glances, Chen Dahe said in a low voice: "The Whiz family is in Liwei......",

"And it's a good thing! ~
