Xishan County.

Upstairs of the Yuelai Inn, the second floor is the room in the right corner, which is Li Qi's hiding place in Xishan County. This trip, counting the days, seems to be not short.

However, the task of this trip is not like the last time I came here, the third prince gave a deadline, and Li Qi was so tired that he had a headache. Before leaving, the third prince said to Li Qi and asked him to investigate here slowly, not in a hurry. It's just that he must pay attention to the movement over there, and don't let those people get ahead.

Those people, Li Qi naturally knew that what the third prince said was Liu Yu's subordinates.

When Li Qi first arrived in Xishan County, he had already met with them. It's just that Liu Yu's subordinates don't seem to know that they have been targeted by Li Qi, so they can do whatever they need to do, and they don't hide it at all.

This made Richie pick up a bargain.

There is no need to investigate everywhere in Xishan County every day, Li Qi asks those two subordinates to keep an eye on Liu Yu's subordinates every day, so that he can know how their investigation of the second prince is going.

At this moment, Li Qi sat in his room, looking out the window.

In recent years, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the cold wind is cold, so there are naturally a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, not as bustling as on weekdays. A cold wind blew, and Li Qi shrank abruptly.

With his collar up and his hands in his sleeves, Li Qi looked out and suddenly felt a little homesick.

Today, he can't go back.

As long as it is a matter on the second prince's side, if there is no follow-up, he may stay in Xishan County all the time and will not be able to go anywhere.

Although every day is delicious and delicious, no one cares about it, so it is said that this day can be regarded as leisurely and comfortable. However, here all day long, there is not even a person to talk to. That Li Wu and Li Liu, who were sent out to follow Liu Yu's subordinates on weekdays, couldn't see each other.

I don't know what's going on at home.

Now Li Qi misses home very much. Especially in this kind of cold winter, at this time of year, his mother's old cold legs will be sick.

The heart is full of worries, but it is also useless. At this time, Li Qi seemed to be a little upset.

Richie jerked to his feet.

It's fucking annoying!

Secretly cursing in his heart, Li Qi walked to the hanger, picked up his coat, draped it on his body, pushed open the door and walked out.

As soon as Li Qi walked out of the room, he ran into the guy in the inn.

"Boss Li."

When the guy saw Li Qi, he nodded his head again and again, and his face was full of smiles.

Li Qi only bowed slightly, did not speak, and walked past this guy.

And no wonder.

When Li Qi came over this time, in order to cover up his identity, the third prince spent a lot of money and prepared several carriages for him.

Anyway, it's not his own money, when Li Qi arrived in this Xishan County, he slowly sold those goods.

Although he was the personal entourage of the three princes, he had followed the three princes for many years, and he also learned some real skills from Li Yu. Speaking of which, this Li Qi is also a man with business talents. Several times, the third prince opened those businesses outside, but with the method given by Li Qi, he made a lot of money.

The goods of those carriages quickly made Li Qi mess out. Moreover, there is a lot of money to be earned.

In this way, after selling out the goods a few days ago, Li Qi was also bored here. Originally, I still wanted to do more business here and make some money. After the completion of this mission, let Li Mang quit his errand with the third prince, take the money, and marry Li Mang a daughter-in-law.

But in this cold weather, people are all nested at home, and if they don't come out, where can they find a good and profitable business?

As soon as he walked out of the door of the inn, a cold wind blew, which provoked Li Qi to wrap his coat tightly.

What the hell is the weather!

The cold wind that blew just now made the depression in Li Qi's heart deeper. Standing at the door, I raised my eyes and looked around, there were really few people on the street.

Tucked his collar and clasped his hands together into his sleeves, Richie continued to walk.

Before he knew it, Li Qi was about to come to the end of this Changshun Street.

Originally, I wanted to come and go for a walk, but after walking so far, it seemed to be useless, and Li Qi was ready to go home.

"Have you heard of it, saying that our county suddenly has private salt. Isn't it strange to you? Didn't the county magistrate say that something happened to the salt mine, and there was no salt at all these days? I really don't know where this salt comes from. ”

"Hey, Sensei. This is no small matter. It's not something we can handle. Come on, let's take this little wine. It doesn't matter if he's salt or not. ”

A whisper reached Richie's ears.

Hearing this, Li Qi seemed to come to the spirit and follow the prestige.

Around the corner, there is a small restaurant. On the other side of the door, in front of a long small table, two people sat and were whispering.

Although the voice of the two people talking was quiet, but when they met Li Qi, a practitioner, and his kung fu was not bad, the two of them talked, Li Qi held his breath a little, and he could hear it clearly.

Illicit salt?

Li Qi heard this word in his ears, and his heart was shocked.

Walking in the court with the three princes all the year round, Li Qi naturally understands how big the crime of selling illicit salt is.

As soon as his heart moved, Li Qi walked over.

"Excuse me, brothers, is there anyone here?"

Li Qi walked straight up to the two men and politely clenched his fists in greeting.

The two of them were still chatting energetically, but Li Qi interrupted abruptly, making them all look up at Li Qi.

Li Qi came back this time, pretending to be a merchant. The clothes on this body are certainly not comparable to ordinary people. When I went out today, I wore a brown robe with a dark pattern, and a thick gown on the outside, and some fur was exposed on the outside of the piping. At a glance, the fabric of the clothes looks like the best clothing, not to mention the workmanship of this long gown, which is also extremely exquisite.

Richie's gown, the exposed fur at the piping, is a fine fox fur at a glance.

Li Qi is a person who has practiced martial arts, and there is a kind of heroism between his eyebrows. Coupled with this dress, in this remote Xishan County, it looks extremely eye-catching.

"Well, no one."

After half a salary, one of them was stunned and replied to Li Qi's words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this man finished speaking, the other person pulled his clothes with his hands under the table. Obviously, Richie's appearance made him wary.

"I'm sorry to disturb the two of you. I am a merchant from other places, and I came to this Xishan county town to exchange some goods. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the goods are not ready, and I don't know if I can go home for the New Year. I was bored and went out for a walk. Passing by here, I saw that the two of them were drinking happily, and they also wanted to come to beg for wine, but I don't know, can it be done? ”

After speaking, Li Qi looked at the two with a smile on his face.
