National affairs, these are not things that Lin Yang can worry about, although he feels that there must be secrets in the middle, but he doesn't think too much. Now Gao Ren, Huo Long, and Huo Hu all live in their own homes. In terms of etiquette, the three of them should be taken to Jiangyang City to go around, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

But now that I have just returned home, and my mother is still on the sickbed, I really don't have much time to go out. immediately informed Gao Ren of his difficulties.

Gao Ren said happily: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about, of course you have to take good care of Mrs. Lin at this time, you don't have to worry about Lao Gao." Then he whispered in his ear: "To be honest, Lao Gao has to thank Brother Lin for that ......."

Lin Yang asked suspiciously, "What is Brother Gao grateful to me, and what have I not done?"

"Brother Lin, you don't know. Gao Ren said with a bitter face: "I have been with Brother Lin for the past few days, but it is the easiest day for me to be Gao." With you by your side, those two little ancestors are rarely honest. I haven't met such a day for a few years!"

Lin Yang smiled dumbly, it turns out that this is the case! It seems that those two little guys have made this big brother suffer.

"Brother Gao, since that's the case, let's relax, these two little guys are now focused on learning magic, and they will have a few days of enthusiasm. ”

Gao Ren arched his hands and said happily: "Brother Lin, I see that you will also give me some magic tricks when I look back, and these two little ancestors will be naughty in the future, and I will use them." ”

"No problem. Lin Yang smiled happily.

At this time, a Qianying walked in, Lin Yang saw that it was Xiao Yi, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Yi come here, big brother will introduce you to a friend." ”

Le Xiaoyi still has a blush on her face now, and her eyes are a little dodgy and she doesn't dare to look at Lin Yang, thinking that it was the hot kiss between the two just now, and the shyness has not yet dissipated. Gently moved the lotus step over.

When Lin Yang saw her delicate and lovely appearance, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart again, and said: "Xiaoyi, this is a brother that the eldest brother got acquainted with, and you can call it Brother Gao in the future." Then he introduced Le Xiaoyi to Gao Ren.

After Le Xiaoyi heard this, she gently looked at Gao Ren and whispered, "Brother Gao is good." ”

Gao Ren hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiaoyi girl is good." Looking at Lin Yang with envy, he said in his heart that this Brother Lin is really good, a Miss Yan is already beautiful enough, but I didn't expect that there is a righteous sister who is not inferior at home!

"Big brother, I will tell the kitchen to prepare more good wine and food, and wash the dust for the eldest brother and the eldest brother. Le Xiaoyi said crisply.

Lin Yang looked at Le Xiaoyi's red lips and said with a smile: "Well, although I ate the most delicious thing in the world just now, I haven't eaten enough yet." Xiao Yi quickly told the kitchen to prepare. ”

Le Xiaoyi saw that he had been staring at his red lips, and said such things, how could he not know what the most delicious thing in the world he just said. Fang's heart was beating wildly, for fear of being seen by Gao Ren on the side. The pretty face turned red again, and Lin Yang turned white timidly and shyly, turned around and ran away in a panic.

Lin Yang smiled, thinking that he would definitely taste it again in the evening, my Xiaoyi's fragrant lips......

Gao Ren asked a little suspiciously, "Brother Lin, what happened to Miss Xiaoyi just now, why did her face suddenly change?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Lin Yang snorted and prevaricated.

After letting Gao Ren rest first, Lin Yang went out. Now that my mother is sick, there is no one to take care of the family's business, and I don't know what is going on now?

Arrange for someone to call all the shopkeepers of the Lin family's shops, and then listen to them report one by one whether anything happened during this period of time.

Lin Yang suppressed Zhang Long at the beginning, which made no one in the Chamber of Commerce in Jiangyang City dare to underestimate him, and of course he would not use the excuse to give the Lin family small shoes to wear.

Yanshan because of Xue Qianshan's relationship, although Zhang Long was finally expelled from Jiangyang City, he did not have any intention of suppressing the Lin family. What's more, Fu Yan took care of him in many ways, but nothing happened, and the business was booming.

At this time, one of the shopkeepers suddenly said: "Young master, in a few days it will be the annual Blessing Festival, and all shops will have to make up for it, I don't know how much our Lin family's store will make up this time?"

Blessing Festival is a unique folk festival in Yinzhou, praying that God can bring down good luck, bless the wealth and prosperity, and an important festival for a safe family. During this festival, there will be merchants in various towns in Yanzhou to pool money to hold a festival celebration.

Of course, Lin Yang also knew about this festival, and asked, "Oh, that's it." How much did our Lin family make up before?"

The shopkeeper said: "Originally, our Lin family caught up with the Blessing Festival, and it was all five thousand taels of money. ”

"Five thousand is too little. Lin Yang smiled and said, "This time, we will give 20,000 taels of silver." ”

These shopkeepers didn't expect that as soon as Lin Yang opened his mouth, it was 20,000 taels of silver, and he took a breath of cool air. You must know that a family of four usually has one hundred taels of silver, which can be enough for a year's expenses. But as soon as this young owner opened his mouth, it was 20,000 taels, isn't this a bit too much?

Several shopkeepers wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, and they were all embarrassed for a while.

Lin Yang couldn't see what they were thinking, and at the same time, he knew that the amount of 20,000 taels of silver was indeed a lot. But what he lacks most now is money, not to mention those mountain-like chalcedony, and the ice and sea that I don't know what the name is, but it must be very precious and rare medicinal materials. The Jingyuan Pill that Xue Qianshan refined for himself was a huge fortune.

It is not an exaggeration for Lin Yang to say that he is a rich country now, he doesn't care about this little money at all, not to mention that he has other purposes, and said magnificently: "Okay, don't worry about it, this matter is settled." However, there is one thing that must be declared, that is, the name of my Lin family's store is all over the festival. ”

These shopkeepers are all old fritters who have been in business for many years, and when they heard Lin Yang's last sentence, they suddenly understood a little, and asked in unison: "What does the young master mean, is it to spread the name of our Lin family's shop throughout Jiangyang City through the Blessing Festival?"

Lin Yang smiled and said: "Of course it will spread all over Jiangyang City, otherwise what am I doing with so much silver! Don't worry, all this money will be earned, don't underestimate the effect of advertising." ”

"Advertising?" These shopkeepers didn't understand the term for a while?

Lin Yang explained: "Advertising, that is, the meaning of advertising, you will slowly understand this." ”

Lin Yang was a thief in his previous life, and he didn't have much research on business, but he also knew the importance of advertising, so he thought of this trick in his heart.

Of course, in this world, there are also promotion methods similar to the nature of advertising, that is, when someone wants to sell or auction some valuables, in order to sell them at a good price, they will be handed over to a special trading house to operate. These comptoirs would send invitations to local celebrities and wealthy people for an auction.

But this method is very limited, that is, the auction must be valuable, and the person facing it must also be a powerful person.

These shopkeepers also slowly understood the meaning of the advertisement, but they still felt that the money was a bit too much, but seeing that Lin Yang seemed to have made up his mind, he didn't say anything.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Lin Yang waved his hand and asked these shopkeepers to go their separate ways, but at this time, one person did not leave. Curiously asked, "Is there anything else going on with Shopkeeper Guo?"

He recognized this person, who was arranged in a shopkeeper who had just taken over Zhang Long's shop, who was cautious and deeply trusted by the Lin family.

I only heard the shopkeeper Guo say with a slightly wrong face: "Young Master has one thing, I was originally going to report it to Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin is not well, and you are not here, Young Master." So it has been delayed until now. ”

Lin Yang said strangely: "What's the matter, let Shopkeeper Guo be so cautious, you come and listen to it?"

Shopkeeper Guo said solemnly: "Young master, a few days ago, the guy accidentally found an extremely hidden secret door in the store. I led people into the secret door, only to find that inside this secret door was a tunnel. Further inside is a huge basement with thousands of sets of weapons and armor!"

"Weapons and armor?" Lin Yang's face sank, and he said, "Shopkeeper Guo, you said that there are thousands of sets of weapons and armor in the basement?"

Shopkeeper Guo nodded and said, "They are all weapons and armor of excellent condition." ”

Lin Yang was also shocked in his heart, you must know that any weapons and armor in this army are supervised by a special supervision office, and private individuals will definitely not be allowed to buy and sell each other among the people. This is a forbidden thing, and if the government knows about it, it is a matter of one sentence to lose your head.

But now these prohibited items have been found in Zhang Long's shop, which is a big or small matter. Could it be that Zhang Long deliberately left it, so that he could turn around and beat a rake, falsely accusing the Lin family of wanting to smuggle weapons?

This Jiangyang City is not far from the Great Cloud Empire, if this crime is implemented, it will be the crime of betraying the enemy!

But Lin Yang thought about it again, and felt that it was wrong, if it was really Zhang Long who deliberately wanted to frame the Lin family, then why didn't there be any action for such a long time?

"Who else knows about Shopkeeper Guo?" asked Lin Yang solemnly.

Shopkeeper Guo hurriedly said: "I know this matter, the stakes are very high, except for me and a few trustworthy guys, I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone, and those guys will not mention this matter to others." ”

Lin Yang nodded and said, "Well, Shopkeeper Guo has done a good job in this matter, I already know it, okay, you can go down first." I'll deal with it later. ”

After seeing the shopkeeper Guo leave, Lin Yang fell into contemplation again, if these weapons were not to frame the Lin family, what did Zhang Long do with so many contraband, did he want to smuggle these things into Dayun? If they were to be smuggled, then there were too few thousands of weapons and armor?

suddenly remembered that this was not the only store that took over Zhang Long, and several other stores were also taken over. Lin Yang suddenly had a bold idea, could it be that Zhang Long's other stores also secretly stored prohibited items?
