Shadow Four's action is very fast, and before it was time for dinner, he sent the confession.

The three foreign merchants knew that if they were to come forward, it would be impossible to buy land, build houses, and rent them. Therefore, they paid a very high price and asked the Great Xia merchants who were familiar with them to help buy the land in the southern block, and the names on the title deed were also the names of these three Great Xia merchants. Then the merchants of Bactria found seven agents in Jiaping Guancheng to rent houses and collect rent on their behalf.

"It's as simple as that?" Xue Ruitian finished reading the confession, raised his head and glanced at Ying Si, "It's just a simple business dealing?" ”

"Yes!" Ying Si nodded affirmatively, "These few don't take much of a beating, and they didn't hit twice, including the names, hometowns, and addresses of the three Great Xia merchants." I have already informed my brothers in Jiangnan to investigate, and accurate news will come back in three days at most. And ......" he looked at Shen Cha and then at Shen Haolin, "They didn't know that there were foreigners standing behind these foreign merchants, because the names on the title deed belonged to these merchants, and they were also afraid that something would go wrong, so they specially verified the identities of these merchants." ”

"Why would a foreign merchant look at this place to the south that everyone avoids? Why would it take so much trouble to do this? Shen Cha circled around in the warm pavilion and said as he turned, "What will those Great Xia merchants get in here?" ”

"Businessmen seek profit, and they will not do anything that is not beneficial." Shen Haolin nodded, "This question has to be answered from the businessmen in Jiangnan, you have worked hard, give us a result as soon as possible before we enter Beijing." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Guo."

"How's the city going?" Jin Jing yawned, asked Merlin for a cold handkerchief to wipe her face, and tried to make herself sober, "Can you find a similar situation?" ”

"The brothers went through the city twice and found no such thing." Ying Si handed the results of the inventory to Shen Haolin, "This land in the south is the most special in our city, no one wants it, only those outsiders who don't know what is going on and don't know will think it's a cheap thing, which is also the reason why it's easy to be exploited." ”

"In the past few years, we have not made up our minds to rectify the situation as we did this year, and every time we conduct identity checks, we only confirm the identity of the tenants, and the landlord does not check carefully, so what happened today." Xue Ruitian sighed, "Indeed, this is a big oversight of ours. ”

"We need to be warned, but things don't have to be as we think, everything has to do with details." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Two Hu businessmen and one big food merchant, it's not realistic to rely on this to find out the news." As we all know, these people are obsessed with making money, maybe they really found the way to make money, but we laymen can't see it. He waved his hand, "All conclusions will have to wait until we get the confessions of those merchants." What we are saying now is our speculation, and we cannot count them. ”

"That's what my brother said." Shen Cha finally stopped turning in circles, she walked back to her place and sat down, "By the way, there is no news from Liaoguo yet?" ”

"Not yet." Ying Si shook his head, "The brothers who patrolled the border brought back the news, Wan Yanxi and they haven't arrived in the border city yet. ”

"Not there yet?" Jin Jing was puzzled, "Their feet are inevitably too slow, right?" ”

"Brother Xiaojing, they are normal, we can come back so quickly, it is day and night, and we don't have a good rest on the road." Shen Cha rubbed his neck, opened Master Huilan's codex, and said as he looked at it, "At their speed, it should be fast." Say hello to the brothers on border patrol and send it to you as soon as you get news, no matter what time it is. ”

"Good!"

"Also, don't let those people in prison go, they still have suspicions. They kept saying that they didn't know that there were other people behind those Great Xia merchants, but when Brother Xiaojing asked them, they blurted out that the landlord had another person, a foreign businessman. Shen Cha sneered, "They may indeed be unaware when they started doing this errand, but then they are also people who know the inside story." But they didn't report it to us, but chose to hide it, which is also to let them give a reasonable explanation. ”

"If the confessions of those merchants can't arrive before Cha'er and I leave, Hou Ye and the military advisor will be responsible for this matter." Shen Haolin followed Shen Cha's words and said, "If you have a definite result, just send us a letter." ”

As Shen Cha speculated, two days later, at breakfast time, they received an official letter from the border pass of the Liao State, Wan Yanxi had arrived at the border city, and asked Shen Jiajun's people to pick up people at the border at the next day.

Early the next morning, Shen Cha took Shen Jiu and led a hundred guards from the Guogong Mansion to the junction of Xia and Liao, and when she saw the leader, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yelu Nan would send a confidant to escort Wan Yanxi, but she didn't expect it to be such a confidant.

"How are you?" After the two sides met the ceremony, Shen Cha looked at Qi Zhifeng standing in front of him, and then at Yelu Heyi, "It's been a long time." Then he nodded to Wan Yan Xi, who was dressed in black and was still in good spirits, "Wan Yan Gongzi!" ”

"General!" Wan Yan saluted, "Long time no see, the general's demeanor is still the same!" ”

Shen Cha bowed slightly, looked at Qi Zhifeng, who was hugging Shen Jiu endlessly, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Feeling Shen Cha's gaze, Qi Zhifeng reluctantly parted from Shen Jiu, rubbed to her side with a smile, and said with a smile, "Don't you feel surprised to see me?" ”

"Indeed!" Shen Cha glanced at Yelu Heyi meaningfully, and quickly turned his gaze to Qi Zhifeng, "Nan Gongzi is willing to let you come out alone?" ”

"Isn't it appropriate to have him, with him, even if what happened last time, I'm not afraid." Looking left and right, Qi Zhifeng leaned into Shen Cha's ear and whispered, "We are at Qilin Pass." ”

"Huh?" Shen Cha was surprised, "When did you come?" King Liao finally agreed? ”

"It's just me and Anan, Ah Lan ......" Qi Zhifeng glanced at Yelu Heyi, pulled Shen Cha out of the crowd, and explained in a low voice, "Something like that happened in the palace, Uncle Wang's suspicion is even worse, and everyone thinks it's going to hurt him." Ah Lan was not at ease, so she didn't leave Linhuang Mansion with us. He asked the third master to go out of the mountain to treat Uncle Wang, and when he saw the results, he would come to us again. This is also the reason why Anan asked me to escort Yan Xi together, this kind of thing, it is inconvenient to write a letter, it is better to say it in person. ”

"It's okay for Lan Gongzi to stay, if you all leave, there is still a Xiao Fengqi in Linhuang Mansion, he is different from the people of the Xiao family before, maybe he will make you stumble. It is a good thing that Lan Gongzi stayed, in addition to taking care of King Liao, he could also watch him. Even if the King of Liao suspects Lan Gongzi, there is still a master and uncle, there should be no big mess. ”

"That's what we thought, and that's why we agreed to him stay there. It's just ......" Qi Zhifeng sighed and said with a little regret, "His desire for military exploits is going to be disappointed again." ”

"He's still young, and the days to come are still long!" Shen Cha patted Qi Zhifeng's shoulder, "Don't worry too much about him, but you and Nan Gongzi, when you go out, no one is looking at you, you learn to take good care of yourself, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, we will!" Qi Zhifeng pulled Shen Cha's arm and shook it twice, "Send the person, our mission is over, and we will go back soon, this is what we agreed before." But ......"

"Alright, we didn't know you were coming. Since it's you, I'll have lunch before leaving. If I don't leave you to eat and let you go hungry, Nan Gongzi will probably think I'm too ruthless. Looking at Shen Jiu who was looking this way with his neck proanding, Shen Cha beckoned Qi Zhifeng to go back, "You haven't seen Xiaojiu for a long time, go back and have a good chat." ”

"Good!" Qi Zhifeng nodded happily, and his steps became much brisker, "Sister Xiaocha is the most understanding!" In the future, if anyone wants to say that you don't understand people, I will blow his head! ”
