Chapter 682: Night Terrors

At this time, they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Sun Chuanting and the others were stunned, didn't they say that horses were not allowed to ride in this neighborhood? Before I could ask this question, I saw that the chatting clerks and bookkeepers were nervous, and they first dispersed, and the positions before and after seemed to have been arranged, and everyone put the wooden box on the ground, and they were familiar with the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and their hands and feet were ready quickly.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped at a nearby intersection, and immediately the rider turned over and dismounted, and ran quickly, he carried a leather bag, and everyone's eyes were fixed on it, and a lean steward stood between the blackboards, and he was waiting for the rider, and the rider handed the leather bag to the steward, and the steward took a notebook and looked at it.

“…… Every time the fire paint is different, if it doesn't match, you won't open your pockets......" Qi Wu whispered, and there were already many people around, many of them were curious to look at this scene in the field, and some people were holding paper and pens in their hands, staring nervously at the scene in front of them.

The steward opened his pocket, took out a few pieces of paper full of words, looked at them by the lamplight, and recited aloud: "One stone of rice."

Every time he read one, the little guy under the blackboard would take a pen dipped in white ash water and write one on it, and the housekeepers below also quickly recorded it, and many people on the periphery also wrote it there.

"Every three days, there are fast horses from Qingjiangpu, the price of bulk goods will come over, and the price of salt goods will be passed on in Yangzhou, with this fair price, the surrounding merchants will come here to buy, and everyone is willing to come here to sell, fair rest assured!" Qi Wu explained there.

Grain, cloth, and all kinds of bulk groceries have prices written on the blackboard, and only the prices of ironware, coal, and wood are handed out from it, and there is also an explanation for this Qi Wu, this iron and coal are the property of Mrs. Chen's family, and this timber is the business of Chen's second master's family, and they can provide large quantities of these two goods.

After the report was finished, the recorded steward's account room was quickly cleaned up, and then trotted away, and there were people outside with their wooden boxes, thinking that they couldn't ride horses here, so they had to run faster.

After reading this, the people on the periphery who recorded immediately ran to the blackboard, recorded the contents of the blackboard, and then hurried away.

"Don't look at the sitting there and listening outside, there is no difference between sitting and listening, you can sit down and listen to a few of them, after getting the price, you have to discuss with each other, set the price of Xuzhou, and the one standing outside is not qualified, the whole Xuzhou is sold at this price, and it is not bad to go there if it is high or low, and the small ones have not gone out to see, I heard that the price set by our Xuzhou, Henan, Shandong and even several places in the south of Beizhili must be followed." Speaking of this, Qi Wu had a proud look on his face.

At night, Hejiazhuang was not pitch black, but lanterns were hung in front of every house, so that the neighborhoods everywhere were bright, and it did not affect the action at all, but compared with when the sun did not set, there were more strong men with knives and sticks on the street, walking on the street in pairs of threes and twos, vigilantly looking at the pedestrians on the street.

"We are not curfew at night, Gongzi, two more streets forward, it is the most fun place here, eat, drink and have fun, everything can be found, especially this food, there is a roast sheep with real tartars, and the spices of Nanyang are used, the taste is indeed good, Hanjing famous wine can also be drunk here, and the old wine from Shanxi and Shaoxing, Xuzhou on the ground, as well as Yangzhou, and even the rich and noble people from Henan and Shandong come to live here, if Gongzi Ye feels lonely at night, the small one is also related to it secretly, Although it is strictly forbidden here, we can also find ...... from Datong and Yangzhou," Qi Wu smiled and whispered.

The lights in front are bright, laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboo, you can already hear it here, and everyone knows it along the way, this Qi Wu is seizing the opportunity to match, thinking about whether he can make some benefits in it, but after watching the scene of the blackboard quotation, Sun Chuanting was not interested in continuing to watch, just said: "Just take us to the Yunshan Inn." ”

Qi Wu was not angry, smiled and led everyone out of this area, when passing by an intersection, he could see a vacant lot in front of him, but on the other side of the vacant land was a tall house, which looked like a warehouse, it was dark at night, only a few lights, giving people a gloomy feeling, Qi Wu said that that there was a curfew at night, and the lights were strictly prohibited.

The people of their group are very bright along the way, there are a lot of people coming and going, everyone has been busy for a day, and they all come to relax and relax at this time, Sun Chuanting's family members are looking around excitedly, even Mr. Tian is very curious, only Sun Chuanting himself is bored walking, that Qi Wu's mouth has not stopped, and he has no intention of listening.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a rhythmic sound, the voice was very muffled, and very neat, as if it could shake his heart, Sun Chuanting felt nervous for no reason, and raised his head suddenly, he found that several experienced guards around him also reacted in the same way, and each face showed a solemn expression, but look at Qi Wu who led the way in front, and then look at the passers-by who couldn't help but laugh on the road, Sun Chuanting felt strange again, and asked in a muffled voice: "What kind of movement is this?" ”

"What's going on?" Qi Wu subconsciously asked rhetorically, the voice was still rhythmic, even a little louder, Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "This is it!" ”

When he said this, the guards scattered a little, each of them protected Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian, some hands touched the hilt of the knife, and made preparations for the battle, Qi Wu, who had always been smart, was a little stunned at this time, blinking and confused, the pedestrians around him were still going their own way, talking and laughing, Sun Chuanting was anxious and just about to say again, that Qi Wu slapped his hands, and suddenly laughed out loud, shaking his head while laughing and saying: "The little one knows what it is, the prince wants to see, come with the little one, just take a few steps." ”

Seeing this Qi Wu like this, Sun Chuanting probably knew that he was wrong, and he was surprised that the other party might think something commonplace, but he couldn't help but be curious, and led the horse out of the street.

This side has been out of the inner circle of Hejiazhuang, although there are lights outside, but you can see the open space where the cars and horses are parked and the freight yard where the heavy goods are placed, the outer outer circle of this road is exceptionally wide and smooth, three big cars can be side by side, and the rhythmic muffled sound is getting closer and closer.

No need to point out, Sun Chuanting and his party have already seen the source of the sound, it turned out to be footsteps, the footsteps of a group of people walking in unison, because it is too neat, so it sounds like a muffled sound, a column of 100 people with five horizontal and twenty verticals, the team is full of young people, wearing the same coarse cloth clothes, cloth shoes with thick leather soles, everyone is wearing leggings, carrying a spear on their shoulders, and a short sword at their waists, so they walked forward, and the leader held a weapon slightly shorter than a spear, like a Xuanhua axe, with a helmetThe armor on the body is not like chain mail or leather armor, cotton armor and the like, but like an iron bucket buckled on the body, and there are about ten armor in the team, and the armor is also like this, but they are holding spears.

The group walked over like this, and the leader could still be heard shouting "...... One-two-one...... One-two-one......"

Different from the Xuzhou group training I saw yesterday, although the team that came over this time was about the same age, or even a little younger, but they were not so tense faces, under the light of the lights, everyone had a tired look on their faces, maybe a little bored, just walked over, they did not deliberately walk very neatly, but the long-term training and strict discipline made them do it naturally, every day, every day, it has long been used to it.

The chatter and laughter of the passers-by nearby couldn't help but lower their voices, many people who don't come often or have just arrived here are curious to see the freshness, but everyone in this team doesn't squint, they don't bother to pay attention to things outside the team, such a temperament shouldn't appear in such a young person.

When he first saw this team, Sun Chuanting held his breath, the whole person stood there, and several family members around him were also quiet, only one person couldn't help but whisper, looking at the team moving forward, Sun Chuanting only felt that there was a huge thing like a mountain pressing over, subconsciously his legs were weak, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, staggered, and sat directly towards the back.

After the team of more than 100 people passed, the surroundings became lively again, and everyone was back to normal, Qi Wu looked back with a smile, and saw that Sun Chuanting almost fell to his feet, and was immediately stunned, and Mr. Bianuta's face was still normal, but he just waved his hand and explained: "My son-in-law accidentally tripped up, it's okay." ”

Sun Chuanting took a deep breath, got up and stood still, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his forehead, just a moment, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his vest was also soaked with sweat.

"Could this be Zhao Jin's family?" Sun Chuanting asked, his tone sounded unfluctuating, but those who were familiar with it could hear a trace of confusion.

Qi Wu stared at Sun Chuanting, nodded with a smile and replied: "This is the family of Jin Ye, there are several teams patrolling everywhere every day, and they return to the camp after dark." ”

Sun Chuanting looked at the back of the team, was silent for a while, but said with a forced smile: "This Zhao Jin is interesting, he takes out the most valuable family fund in his hand every day and shakes it, just like drying the leather fur at the bottom of the box when the sun is good, and it also lets people know his wealth." ”

When the weather is good, the rich people in the north take out the valuable leather clothes and fur clothes to dry, sometimes it is insect and mildew prevention, but there are also take this opportunity to show off their wealth, the people of the time note article quite a lot of ridicule, saying that when the weather is good, the front of the Zhu door is colorful, the valuable fur brocade and the like are dazzling, not for drying, just to show off the furniture.
