The next day, Chen Hansheng and Kalanda came to the stall again.

When the stall owner saw Chen Hansheng coming, he greeted him warmly and said, "This guest." The cup you brought yesterday is fine, right? I knew you would come back today. I went and picked up some good stuff last night. Take a look?"

Chen Hansheng saw that there were indeed several new styles of things on the stall, such as cutlery such as knives and forks.

"I told my family yesterday that even the big people from Montenegro like our goods, and they are very happy. Quickly took out these good things. ”

Chen Hansheng said: "Oh, I'm not very interested in the existing goods, I want to make some special shapes of iron. Can you take me to your home?"

Seeing the stall owner's nervous look, Chen Hansheng took out a golden axe from his pocket, "Help me contact them, this golden axe is yours." Don't worry, I'm just going to make some ...... parts, I won't set up a stall here to steal your business. ”

"This ...... , of course I want to earn this golden axe, but they said that you can't just bring someone to the door. They didn't want to be bothered by the waves of merchants, so they chose a few of us to sell their things. ”

"What are you kidding, there is no one who doesn't want to make money in business. What they hate is a small business that doesn't make a lot of money. But I have a golden axe for the referral fee here, and the business will be small? Maybe they'll thank you for bringing me to the door. Chen Hansheng said.

"Okay. The shopkeeper accepted the gold coins and nodded in agreement.

To Chen Hansheng's surprise, the supplier's warehouse was just outside the city of Suero, in a small village on the outskirts, and they rode horses and spent an hour there.

The warehouse is a large yard with a fence on the outside and wooden bungalows on the inside.

When he arrived at the door of the warehouse, Chen Hansheng had a very bad premonition, the huge courtyard was quiet, except for a few dog barks in the village outside, there was no movement.

The three of them dismounted and came to the entrance of the courtyard, and the stall owner pushed open the wooden door and looked in for a long time, but no one was seen.

"No, everything was fine when I left last night. There's still an ox cart parked here, and there's a pile of goods over there, so why is it all empty all of a sudden?"

Chen Hansheng and Kalanda walked into the courtyard and looked around, Kalanda squatted on the ground and observed: "This rut is very new, it should have been walked overnight from last night to early this morning." There were about four or five cars with heavy stuff on them. ”

"I guess I shipped all the inventory overnight. Chen Hansheng walked to the front of the wooden house, looked inside, and saw that there was no one, so he pushed the door and walked in.

The place where the goods should have been stacked in the house was empty and there was nothing. Only simple wooden shelves stand against the wall.

"So you've been to this warehouse, right?" Chen Hansheng asked the stall owner.

"I've been here, and last night there was a small half of the place where there was still a pile of goods. These iron things are selling well. Did they then meet a big buyer and sell them all out at once?" the stall owner wondered.

"We looked around to see if there were any clues left. Chen Hansheng said to Kalanda.

"Guest, don't worry, these sellers will always come back, and I will help you contact you when the time comes. The stall owner said.

"Don't worry about your commission. You just have to answer me a few questions, and the golden axe is still yours. Chen Hansheng said.

"If you want to know anything, just ask. ”

"What kind of people are those who sell goods. Chen Hansheng asked as he glanced around the room.

The stall owner followed him and replied carefully: "Well, what kind of person do you want to talk about, it seems to be quite ordinary...... Accents are everywhere. Well, the typical kind of merchant group that comes to Suero to do business, right? Most of them are young and strong young men. Most of them don't talk much, and it's their stewards who deal with me. The man was also strange, always wearing a mask, and his name was Hall. But I can tell that everyone else is afraid of him, he must be a powerful guy. ”

"Masked, do you know why?"

"I've heard people say that he has a wound to his face and looks scary. Cover it up so you don't scare the guests. ”

Chen Hansheng pointed to his face and said, "Is there anyone with black hair like me?"

"No, I don't. You people are so easy to recognize. I won't admit it. There are people from all over the place, there are people from the southern city-states, there are people from the empire, but there are people without you. ”

Chen Hansheng was very keen to find a question: "You mean, this caravan has a very mixed source?"

"It's nothing. This was the case with many caravans that used slaves. When buying a slave, you only look at the strength and good body, and you are more obedient, and you don't care too much about where the slave comes from. The stall owner explained.

"Can you be sure that the people in the caravan are slaves?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it. I'm sure I've seen the slave brand a few times, though. It seems to be printed on the chest. The stall owner pointed to the position below his collarbone, "There are many clothes in winter now, and most people can't see this position, but there must be a few people who are slaves, and I have seen them." ”

"Did they tell me where they came from?"

"No, I asked about it, but Hale didn't answer. I think they were worried about leaking the source, so they didn't ask. You know, Suero is full of such cautious and stingy businessmen. ”

Chen Hansheng didn't find anything in the house, so he let the stall owner go first.

Kalanda turned around inside and out, holding a piece of paper smaller than a slap in his hand, handed it to Chen Hansheng and said, "Look at this." ”

It was a small corner torn from an exercise book with nothing written on it, but the paper itself was telling.

"It was sandwiched on a shelf, and it was probably stuck in a wooden crack when I was carrying something. ”

"Tell me, how did I get into this kind of? Actually, it's my business, you say, right?" Chen Hansheng pinched the piece of paper in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

"Then it's not you. It may seem like you're swaggering, but I know you're on your mind. A lot of thought was put into those people. Kalanda said lightly by the arm.

"I'm afraid of ruining some people's good deeds. Originally, I was not in the same circle as them, and it was not one or two who secretly didn't want to see me in my heart, if this matter was deeply involved...... Hey, trouble. Chen Hansheng licked his lips, as if savoring the impact of this incident.

"Do you think it's your responsibility?"

"I don't know, I just think it's good for the whole school to investigate this matter clearly. I'm part of this team, so I should have a responsibility, right?"

"Then do it. ”

"Hey, yes, Lao Tzu is a person who comes from a rain of bullets, and I'm afraid of him. Chen Hansheng finally put the paper in his pocket, "Let's go, let's go to the village and ask about these people." ”
