Chapter 13: Shang Ling (2)
Chapter 13: Shang Ling (2)
Zhang Shen rode into Shang Ling.
The strong human spirit came to his face, and the noise that filled his ears gave him the illusion of returning to the real earth vegetable market.
Although the pedestrians on the street did not reach the terrifying density of rubbing shoulders one after another, and Qingguo did not have any habit of driving in both directions, Zhang Shen looked at the past, except for the head of the person, he couldn't help but feel numb in the scalp.
There is no doubt that Shangling's transportation system is very developed, and Zhang Shen has the advantage of looking up and finding that there are roads leading to all directions, which can be described as quite convenient.
However, because of this, Zhang Shen felt more headaches.
"If I go, do I have to hire a tour guide?" Zhang Shen couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, the legendary "humanoid navigation" necessary for the big city in the other world really arrived in time to save a certain master who came to save the people in danger with the "ambition of the bird......
Zhang Mouren looked around and had a tangled expression, and almost didn't write the word "rookie" on his face, and was soon seen by those sharp-eyed children, one of whom was even more light and fast, and the eel generally drilled around in the crowd, and immediately appeared in front of Zhang.
Wangcai's unusually tall and majestic figure was still quite oppressive, and the child originally wanted to lean over, but Wangcai's fierce eyes and a loud nose successfully forced him back......
The child looks about ten years old, and although he is dressed very simple and shabby, he is quite neat and tidy, which makes people feel good.
Seeing that the children's eyes swept over Wangcai's bowl of big hooves with a thick mouth like steel from time to time, Zhang Shen smiled while comforting Wangcai with thoughts: "Little brother, don't be afraid, my family Wangcai has a very docile personality and never hurts people." ”
"Childe, this horse of yours is really a divine horse, the little one has never seen such a handsome horse in Shangling's life!" The child decisively slapped a sycophant, but muttered in his heart: Of course it doesn't hurt people, you beast will die if you go down with a hoof.
Lifetime? Zhang Shen smiled dumbly: "In the next Zhang Shen, I don't know what to call the little brother?" ”
"Zhang Gongzi is polite." The children are still relatively good in terms of etiquette, and bowed down and said, "The little cheap name is not enough to worry about, you can just call me Xiao Lizi." ”
Little Plum ...... The corner of Zhang Shen's mouth twitched: "Xiao Li...... Son, did you come here to show me the way? ”
"Yes, yes...... I don't know where you're going, Gongzi Zhang? The little one grew up in Shangling, it's not that we boast, the road in Shangling City, the small door is clear, and you can find it with your eyes closed. Xiao Lizi secretly blamed himself for almost forgetting that he had asked the guest to remind him of his old bank, and while quickly turning his thoughts, he recalled Shang Ling's map again.
"Treasure Pavilion, do you know?" Zhang Shen will report to the location given to him by the elder.
Xiao Li Zi was stunned for a moment, and the Shangling map that was about to take shape again in his mind suddenly collapsed, and his face was full of shock.
"Don't you know?" Zhang Shen couldn't help but slander those guys above Feixian Peak for being unreliable.
"No, no, no! Know, how could you not know! Xiao Lizi waved his hand again and again, his expression was still a little weird. Li Gongzi, do you know Xiao Kunlun? ”
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lizi was completely speechless: "Have you seen that big tree?" ”
Zhang Shen looked in the direction he pointed, and it was the giant tree with twelve branches.
"You mean, that's Little Kunlun, and the Treasure Pavilion is on the tree?" Zhang Shen came to his senses and couldn't help but scold his cheating father in his heart. Before, I thought that the Treasure Pavilion was a small black house with a bad corner, but now I am entangled, such a magnificent place, if I go in, it is very likely that people will know about it......
Little Kunlun, twelve branches, this clearly corresponds to the twelve days of Kunlun, plus the location of the Treasure Pavilion of Feixian Peak, obviously, the buildings on each branch correspond to the corresponding Kunlun peak veins.
If he is in contact with the people of the Treasure Pavilion, how will he fight for the Zhang family in the future?
Zhang Shen thinks that he is not a politically sensitive person, but even an idiot knows that at this time, the nerves of the middle and high-level of the fifty surnames are absolutely tense to the extreme, and the slightest disturbance may evolve into an uncontrollable situation.
Entering the Treasure Pavilion at this moment? Then go to the Zhang family?
Could it be that Kunlun, who has always been neutral, wants to officially intervene in the affairs of the Qing Dynasty in the 12th day?
Zhang Shen didn't want to cause trouble for Feixian Peak, although the latter might not care.
"Forget it, I'm a little tired after a long journey, so let's visit the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow."
A moment later, the two of them came to an inn that looked classy. Not surprisingly, it's Yuelai Inn again......
According to Xiao Lizi, Yuelai Inn is the largest inn in the Qing Kingdom, with the highest security and the best service.
Sent to the place, Zhang Shen very boldly gave Xiao Lizi several times the "navigation fee".
"By the way, I just noticed that you are not only a large number of people, but also seem to be divided into different groups, and they seem to be competing with each other. At the end, Zhang Shen asked casually.
Xiao Lizi nodded: "Yes, we are from SF Commercial Bank, in addition to us, we are still Zhongtong Commercial Bank, Shentong Commercial Bank, etc." ”
"My biggest dream is to be promoted to be a courier who delivers all kinds of things to the big clan." Speaking of his dream, Xiao Lizi's eyes lit up, and the whole person exuded an admirable and powerful momentum.
Zhang Shen: ......
"Well, when I didn't ask."
…………… Divide............ Cut............ Line.........
There are still more than ten days before the official convening of the Dan Meeting, Zhang Shen is not in a hurry at all, and after opening the most luxurious room for himself at the Yuelai Inn, he decisively lies on the bed and rests for a while. After days of running, I was really tired.
The sunset began to shine brightly and was soon covered by night.
The night of Shangling is very lively, not inferior to the metropolis of the real earth, and even a little more noisy. After all, there is no TV network these days, and people who don't want to go to bed early have nothing to do except go out to the night market and chat with their neighbors.
Xiao Lizi finished the day's hard work, simply bought a steamed bun and ate it with cold water, and this was dinner.
He walked quickly to the SF Firm, where they paid their daily wages.
Although he received a generous tip from Zhang, Xiao Lizi was still excited at the thought of receiving today's salary immediately.
When he arrived, his friends had already arrived. Xiao Lizi has always been the latest and hardest worker.
The person in charge with the small mustache glanced at Xiao Lizi who arrived panting with satisfaction, and then ordered the people next to him to start distributing wages.
Xiao Lizi played with the twenty copper plates in his hand, although it was not much, but it was enough for him to survive in Shangling.
"Okay, let's talk about it, did you meet any unusual people today? The old rule, as long as it can be verified, is one of ten copper plates. Bazihu lay on the Taishi's chair in a comfortable posture and said lazily.
Several institutions such as SF Commercial Bank and Shentong Commercial Bank not only undertake express delivery, navigation and other businesses, but in fact, collecting intelligence is their real purpose, and it is also the bulk of their profits.
For example, the SF firm where Xiao Lizi serves is facing more than a dozen of the 50 surnames.
With the help of the lower ninth-rate (non-derogatory) figures who lived in Shangling, these firms collected bits and pieces that happened in all corners of Shangling, and then a special person was responsible for sorting, confirming, tracking, and reporting, and compiling all the affairs of Shangling into a book through a complete set of processes and selling them to the major clans.
Although the fifty surnames also have their own sources of information, since the major commercial houses have been able to develop to this day, they naturally have their own unique places.
Xiao Lizi came to the side of a large table with several yellowed sheets of paper and pen and ink on it.
On the top piece of paper, two big characters "Li Hua" were written, which was the name of Xiao Lizi.
Li Huamo wanted to recall today's itinerary, picked up the pen, dipped a little in the rough inkstone, dipped it in the low-quality ink, and began to write down the few people he met who felt that he needed attention.
His strokes have no structure of rules, but they are upright and clear.
"The son surnamed Zhang, twenty-three or four-year-old, tall horses, black hooves and white mane, inquire about the Treasure Pavilion, and live in Yuelai Inn" Li Hua finally briefly described Zhang Shen's information, thought about it, and added a few words, "The temperament is different from ordinary people."
Zhang Shen naturally didn't know about the qiē that happened in the SF Commercial Bank, let alone that the clever little plum was actually the legendary intelligence officer, and he also wrote it down and handed it in.
However, even if you know, you just laugh at it.
After lying on the bed for more than an hour, Zhang Shen got up lazily, took a bath, changed clothes, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.
The people live on food.
As a foodie, and you don't have to worry about eating a foodie, you have to take this to the extreme.
Zhang Shen decisively ordered all the dishes of the Yuelai Inn, and then brought a few pots of good tea, sent them to his room, and spent three hours eating them all into his stomach.
"It tastes good, this is what this son rewarded you." In Xiao Er's surprised and strange gaze, Zhang Shen picked his teeth with a toothpick and threw out a piece of silver cake casually.
Xiao Er's face suddenly turned into a brilliant chrysanthemum: "Childe, do you have any other orders?" ”
"My son is going out for a walk, is there anything good to do?"
"Oh, Childe, you're really asking the right person...... Shangling East, West, South and Middle Three Night Markets ......"
In the barabala, Zhang Shen had a deeper understanding of Shangling's prosperity.
Shangling does not have a night curfew, in order to make more money, large and small businesses work several shifts a day, the three big markets are brightly lit day and night, never resting, especially at night, more lively.
"There are a few places that are especially suitable for a romantic person like you, Childe." In the end, Xiao Er squeezed his eyes obscenely, with a yearning expression.
"Yihong Courtyard, Wanhualou, Qunfang Pavilion, Zhenxiang Society...... Wait, hey, you know, Childe. ”
Zhang Shen: ......
We are a good man, we have a beautiful wife, how can we linger in the land of fireworks...... Ahem, how did you get there.
