Less than ten meters, the arrogance on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the usual smile of a businessman. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but his smile is more affectionate and kind.

This sudden change was that he saw the flower feathers on Wang Chengyi's helmet at the city gate.

This flower feather is a symbol of the four products.

The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Tianquan, he is the largest tea merchant in Qianhuang County, and he has not seen four-grade officials in the past.

But this is the capital where there are so many officials, and in this place in the capital, any person who goes to the street to pull people is more or less the son or nephew of the seventh aunt or aunt of the sixth-grade official and the seventh-grade official, and these sixth-grade officials and seventh-grade officials more or less know which third-grade official and fourth-grade official...... Pull and pull down, people from other places come to the capital, as long as they are not bullied badly, they are generally allowed to let go.

Although Zhang Tianquan doesn't care about the ordinary people in the capital, like the city guards who may have been mixed into the city gate guards, he can also ignore them directly, and at most he will just play a little silver.

But a four-grade general, he didn't dare.

Those who can be officials are not attached to one or two larger officials, and may even be members of a certain faction. Wang Chengyi can sit in the high-profile position of general of the city guard, and it is even more stable to have a big backer. This is going to be provoked, and a random crime can confiscate more than 100 truckloads of his tea. And after checking it, he could only look at the sky and cry, there was no way at all. Not to mention that he has an average friendship with the county station of Qianhuang County, even if it is too good to say, the county station of Qianhuang County may be full of words in Qianhuang County, but when he comes to the capital, not everyone buys his account.

Because of this, Zhang Tianquan not only smiled, but also touched the placket of his shirt involuntarily with his right hand. There, there are a lot of silver tickets. It is said that Hades is better than imps, but in the eyes of a rich man like him, Hades is the most difficult.

About five meters, seeing that Wang Chengyi actually stepped forward, Zhang Tianquan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated with a flutter. It was the first time he had come to the capital, so naturally he would not know anyone here, and the dignified Sipin General stepped forward, in his opinion, perhaps he came for more than a hundred carriages of tea behind him, but it was definitely not because he had rich money to come and offer his courtesy.

is a four-grade general, and he is a general who guards the first gate for the emperor, not to mention the huge rich in a county, and the huge rich in the capital may not be able to greet him in person.

Four meters, three meters...... Zhang Tianquan's heart was about to jump out, he couldn't understand how a dignified four-rank general would personally accompany a few city guards to guard the city on a cold day, although this was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't do his duty to this extent.

But I couldn't figure it out, the matter was already in front of him, Zhang Tianquan took a sharp breath, raised his hands, arched towards Wang Chengyi, and said with a smile: "General, Zhang Tianquan, the owner of the Xia Feng Tea House in Qianhuang County, I don't know what the general is called?" ”

Wang Chengyi arched his hand, but he was at Lin Dong, and he also smiled: "Shopkeeper Lin, have you pulled a guest?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, and Ma Chun bowed his hand and saluted back: "Thank you for the care of General Wang and Boss Zhang." ”

"Congratulations!" Wang Chengyi hurriedly said hello.

Ma Chun had to thank him with a smile.

On the side, Zhang Tianquan was a little confused. This situation doesn't seem to be coming for him with more than a hundred carts of tea?

"Shopkeeper Lin, steward Ma, please inside." Wang Chengyi made an invitation, thought about it, looked at Zhang Tianquan again, and said politely: "Boss Zhang, please come inside." ”

Zhang Tianquan was a little flattered, nodded hurriedly, took out a stack of silver tickets from the placket and put them in his sleeve, and then took a few steps forward and stuffed them into Wang Chengyi's hand: "General, a little heart is not respectful, on a cold day, buy a bowl of hot tea for the brothers." ”

"Boss Zhang, what are you doing here?" Wang Chengyi suddenly straightened his face, looked at Zhang Tianquan coldly, and a murderous look slowly came out.

Wang Chengyi can become a general defending the city, in addition to having a strong relationship, he must also have real skills. This face has a soaring murderous aura. This murderous aura, how can Zhang Tianquan be able to resist, his legs are weak, if he hadn't seen a big scene, he would almost have been frightened and fell to the ground.

"Drink, drink tea!" Zhang Tianquan's teeth trembled a little, he didn't understand, the officials in the capital were not officials? There are a few officials who will not want silver. What's more, before he came, he had also asked the merchants in the capital to inquire, and he even knew about the market for entering the city to pay the guards.

But the current situation is obviously not as he expected, as long as there is silver, he can speak.

How did he know, it wasn't that Wang Chengyi didn't want it, so a stack of silver tickets, the top one he could see clearly, was a denomination of 1,000 taels, if it was the same, it was equivalent to more than 10,000 taels of silver. That's a lot of money for him. But on the contrary, the shopkeeper of Lin Ji Inn was present.

The reputation of Lin Ji Inn, Wang Chengyi knows, it is too good to say, the owner of this kind of shop is naturally also upright, otherwise he would not be able to make friends with the same upright Qingliu King. If the shopkeeper of the Lin Kee Inn saw that he had received a large sum of silver, it would be easy to open his mouth in person, and he would just go back, but if King Qingliu went to the Lin Ji Inn and talked about it as a trivial matter, it would be enough for him to go around without eating, with the temper of King Qingliu's disgust with corrupt officials, it would be just if he didn't catch the evidence, and if he caught the evidence, he would have to ask his head to fall to the ground.

10,000 taels of silver is a lot, but it is far from the extent that Wang Chengyi can take risks, so he is naturally righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Tea? Do you need so much silver to drink tea? Besides, we are all doing things for the emperor, and we give so much silver, is there something wrong with your goods? Wang Chengyi scolded coldly, he couldn't receive more than 10,000 taels of silver, he didn't dare to complain about Lin Dong, he could only pile up his grievances on Zhang Tianquan's head.

It's okay to take out so much silver to seduce yourself, and you don't know how to give it secretly, who is to blame for this Boss Zhang?

Zhang Tianquan was anxious, so anxious that he was burning, but he didn't know what to do. The silver ticket in his hand is not collected, nor is it not collected. It's not that he hasn't dealt with officials, and among the officials he has dealt with, there are also many righteous and awe-inspiring people, bitches who set up archways, and people who like to put on a fight, but they all have a premise that he is not afraid of. The huge wealth of a county, except for the county officials, except for the county platform, other officials, even if they have a grudge, can not shake his foundation.

This four-rank general, like Juntai, holds his net worth and surname. It's just that it's not like the county to see the silver, although it is still on the shelf, but it will not be cloudy and sunny.

"Boss Zhang didn't know that General Wang was fair and honest, and mistakenly thought that it was reasonable to be the same as the generals in other cities. Those who don't know are not guilty, and General Wang still asks for anger. Lin Dong suddenly interjected, no way, this Boss Zhang is the first guest to launch the storage room of their Lin Ji Inn, not only is it as simple as silver, but also has the effect of testing whether the value of the storage room is as expected.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wang Chengyi was startled, waved his hand again and again, and the murderous aura on his face disappeared. He found that he had overestimated the sense of justice of this shopkeeper Lin, who was also a mortal, and was still more or less towards the guests of his inn.

Zhang Tianquan's eyes burst out, and he looked at Lin Dong in disbelief, with a deep sense of awe in his protruding eyes.

He finally understood that this General Wang was completely greeted by the shopkeeper Lin who he had just scolded coldly.

A dignified four-grade general flatters an innkeeper, how much backing does this need to do.

Inn, everywhere is a small business, an inn that needs the shopkeeper to come out in person to solicit customers, this small business is obviously not doing well, and it can make friends with even the four generals who need to grovel, Zhang Tianquan really understands the streets of the capital, and any person who pulls out may have a shocking backer.

The person in front of me is the best evidence.

"Thank you, thank you for the kind words of the shopkeeper Lin, the contemptible person was offended just now, please forgive me, forgive me." In the early winter, the cold wind, Zhang Tianquan's forehead, but began to sweat coldly, faster than when he faced Wang Chengyi just now.

He suddenly remembered that his attitude towards Shopkeeper Lin just now was not good.

"Boss Zhang, General Wang, can you start inspecting the goods?" Lin Dong shook his head with a smile and looked at Wang Chengyi.

"Inspect the goods?" Wang Chengyi was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Dong carefully, and saw that his expression was normal, not like he was deliberately looking for a place just now, so he nodded hurriedly and waved his hand: "Enter the city!" ”

Zhang Tianquan was relieved, although this experience was short, it was the most worrying moment of his life.

Fortunately, everything is in the past.

Zhang Tianquan instructed the captain of the guard to lead the team into the city to check the safety of the goods, and he began to talk around Lin Dong, as if Lin Dong was his honored guest, for fear that there would be some cold spots that would make the other party unhappy.

The goods were inspected one by one, and there was no doubt that they were all tea, and the convoy began to enter the city.

Arriving at the Lin Ji Inn not far away, seeing the scale of the Lin Ji Inn and the clothes of the diners coming in and out, Zhang Tianquan was naturally shocked and puzzled.

In terms of accommodation conditions, Zhang Tianquan naturally can't find faults. And the price of accommodation, although the price is a bit high, but not to mention the experience of the city gate, even if there is no such thing, in Zhang Tianquan's eyes, it is only a drop in the bucket, naturally there is no objection.

After settling the convoy, Lin Dong was accustomed to personally staring at the whole process on the first day of the launch of various features, so he and Ma Chun once again took a group of men straight to the city gate.

Unlike before, this time Lin Dong, Ma Chun and others were sitting in the doorway enjoying the good tea that Wang Chengyi personally made.

The reason, naturally, is that Lin Dong figured it out, and with the help of Wang Chengyi to solicit customers, it can play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort. Wang Chengyi said that although he did not have the habit of blowing cold wind at the door, helping Lin Ji Inn raise his value all day long was also beneficial to him, after all, befriending Lin Ji Inn was also indirectly equivalent to having a relationship with King Qingliu.

After that, everything went smoothly, the sky gradually turned from bright to dark, and when it was about to close the city gate, Lin Dong was about to get up, and in the distance, three high-headed horses roared over.
