Ling Tian City's East Wharf.

Compared to the bustle of the market, it is mainly busy.

Merchant ships and fishing boats are lined up one after another, like big and small fish in the sea to worship the dragon king, so this east wharf is also called the dragon king wharf.

In the morning light, a striking merchant ship slowly sailed from afar, with a tall and magnificent hull, a lifelike eagle's head embroidered on the sails of exquisite materials, a beak like a hook, and eyes like electricity.

The people on the shore of the ship were all attracted by it, and even the two sides who were bargaining stopped talking for a while.

I don't know who said: "It seems that this is a merchant ship of Kazakhstan, and it is almost winter, and they must have come here to sell furs and jewelry." ”

The most important thing in Ling Tiancheng was the rich and noble, especially the wives and ladies of the wealthy merchants who were pampered.

Ling Tiancheng's winter was not too cold, but fur had always been very popular, and wearing graceful and luxurious fur with dazzling jewelry was a satisfying winter for them.

How else will you spend this winter?!

The merchants of Kazakhstan knew this, so after the beginning of autumn, there were more people from Kazakhstan who came to Ling Tiancheng to do business than at other times.

The big merchant ship slowly docked into the dock, the sailors took out the gangplanks and laid them, and the people on board walked down one by one.

They were all dressed in much the same way, all in brocade robes, with curly and fluffy hair and bushy beards.

There were two people in the middle who were slightly different from the others, although they were also wearing the same robes, but their hair was jet-black, different from the brown and yellow hair of the Harbin.

It's just that these two people also have thick beards on their faces, and they can't see their faces clearly.

One of these two people is Yuwen Zhengji, and the other is Jiang Jiang. They got acquainted with these Kazakh merchants on the ship, and when they got off the ship, Yuwen Zhengji suddenly thought that he had not heard from him for so long, and the people in the mansion must be very anxious, so he decided to return to the mansion himself to see what these people were doing.

As the guide of the merchant ship, he told the owner and other merchants that they could find a place to stay with him and then talk about the trade, and the men naturally became very tired after the long voyage.

Hearing Yuwen Zhengji tell them that they were going to a very beautiful mansion as guests, they immediately felt very happy.

"Is the owner of this mansion a merchant from Ling Tiancheng?" The ship's owner, Huo Rafa, asked Yuwen Zhengji.

"That's right, I know him very well," Yuwen Zhengji said, "He is very hospitable, and you must be very welcome." ”

Although these people came to Ling Tiancheng for the first time, there were certain rules for doing business, and they must first make local friends wherever they go, so as to further understand the local market and needs.

What's more, once you get to know the locals, you can deal with the locals through him, especially with the local head snakes.

People in any place will inevitably be bullied, so making local friends is a must for businessmen from other places, and the same is true for the Yuwen family in other places.

"Let's hire a sedan chair to go back," Jiang Jiang whispered to Yuwen Zhengji and bit his ear: "Otherwise, it will not be good to be recognized if you walk on the street with such a swagger." ”

If she is recognized by the street, Yuwen Zhengji will naturally become the object of everyone's scramble, Jiang Jiang is different, she has to guard against Xiao Xu, who may trouble her at any time.

"You're really thoughtful, let's go back in a sedan chair, so that we don't know it." Yuwen Zhengji said with a smile, because not long after getting off the boat, he heard someone still talking about the disappearance of Yuwen Gongzi, and it seemed that this matter had caused a storm in the city.

It's not good that the family has already offered a lot of money, and now the people in the entire Ling Tiancheng want to make this fortune, and they came back after a lot of hardships, but when they arrived at the door, they were slaughtered as a fat sheep, Yuwen Zhengji would never do this kind of loss-making business.

So he hired a few sedan chairs, and Yuwen Zhengji, Jiang Jiang and these merchants from Kazakhstan went to Yuwen Street.

Jiang Jiang secretly lifted the sedan curtain, watched it privately and found that the two chapters that were originally erected at the corner of the street were gone, and naturally there was no one to guard it, and it seemed that because of Yuwen Zhengji's disappearance, the recruitment list that had been established here for many years was also canceled.

Come to think of it, since Zhang Bangren has disappeared, there is no need for this list to be hung here, if someone unveils the list at this time, can he still be allowed to enter the house?

The sedan chair stopped at the door, and Yuwen Zhengji also got down from the sedan chair. I found that the door was not guarded by a family member as usual, but was tightly closed.

Yuwen Zhengji pushed the door, and the door opened. He raised his leg and walked in, Jiang Jiang followed behind those merchants from Kazakhstan, who were a little strange.

At first glance, the atmosphere of this mansion is a rich and noble family, but why are there no servants? Could it be that this is Ling Tiancheng's rules?

The group walked towards the courtyard from the gate of the house, and when they turned the big shadow wall, they saw that the courtyard where they first entered the house was full of people.

On the arc-shaped corridor on the left and right, there are hundreds of maids standing neatly, each holding a pair of white silk in their hands. In the open space of the courtyard stood thousands of servants, each with a dagger in their hands.

Yan Xi, the housekeeper standing in the middle and front, holding Bai Aya in one hand and a dagger in the other, was making a generous statement: "The young master has not heard from me so far, the master and the lady will arrive home this afternoon, we have received the kindness of the master, the lady and the young master but have not been able to protect the young master, and they have no shame to live in the world, so we specially choose to judge ourselves together at this time, hoping to pray for the safe return of the young master with our lives!" ”

"What are these people doing?" Horafa asked, somewhat alarmed, he had never seen such a formation.

"Ah, they are giving a welcome speech, this is the highest etiquette for the big families in Ling Tian City to welcome distinguished guests." Yuwen Zhengji explained improvisedly.

"But why do they hold white cloths in their hands and daggers in their hands?" The little man asked Riglen.

"Well, well, the white silk symbolizes the longevity and purity of friendship," Yuwen Zhengji said casually: "The dagger means that he is willing to stick a knife in his friend's ribs." ”

"Hey! Stop! Jiang Jiang saw that these people were about to commit suicide, so she quickly stopped it, and she took off the beard on her face while shouting.

"Look, isn't this the bad guy with the surname Jiang?!" Six, five, four, recognized Jiang Jiang at a glance.

All of the Yuwen Mansion suddenly rushed over, surrounding Jiang Jiang in the middle at once.

"You still dare to come back, where is the young master?!" Yan Xi asked Jiang Jiang with red eyes and a hoarse voice, like a fathead fish starved of oxygen.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, arrest him first and send him to the government!" Danfeng, who was anxious, couldn't care about hanging himself, and directly wanted to tie up Jiang Jiang with the white silk in his hand.
