Xu Sheng waited in front of a carriage outside a barracks.

Although it was customary for foreign carriages and horses to enter the military camp, and the carriage he was driving was not given an exception, because he was very familiar with most of the sergeants here, and because of the production and trade of their farms, the life of the soldiers in the whole Biluoling area was much better than before. Not to mention the fact that the establishment of some towns brought more shops and goods, the lively atmosphere in the towns alone was different from the previous calm, and the sergeants felt that they were serving normally, rather than being exiled from hard labor. Therefore, all the soldiers who saw him were very polite to him, and several generals who knew him well chatted with him for a few words, and sent him a few pieces of honeydew melons chilled with well water.

When it was close to noon, several generals and more than a dozen sergeants politely escorted Chen Feirong, who was wearing a lilac palace dress, walked out.

Some stern reprimands sounded in the distance, it turned out that many sergeants were also the first time to see the legendary Da Dexiang shopkeeper, and some sergeants saw the beauty of the goddess, but they were stunned for a while, forgetting what they were doing at hand, which caused the non-commissioned officers and school officers to reprimand.

Chen Feirong saluted and said goodbye to the escorted generals and sergeants, and after getting into Xu Sheng's carriage, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a neat column of lightly armored cavalry followed behind the carriage.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Sheng asked Chen Feirong in the carriage in a solemn whisper.

Since he came to Biluoling, he has been the principal of Da Dexiang in the entire Biluo Ling area, usually the military or bureaucracy of Bishui Province wants to talk to Da Dexiang about anything, and he only needs to come forward, but when the military came to report today, it was specified that Chen Feirong would go, and at this moment there was a cavalry army of hundreds of people to follow, which naturally made him feel a little extraordinary.

Chen Feirong said softly: "A convoy of Su Youji was robbed and killed in Shanyang Road. ”

"Su Youji, the convoy was robbed and killed?" Xu Sheng's face changed slightly, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"No one survived. Chen Feirong looked at his slightly stiff back, nodded, and said softly and calmly: "There is no one alive... This train team was led by Xue Jingyin, the third treasurer of Su Youji, with a total of two hundred and thirty-two people, Xue Jingyin entered Biluo Mausoleum, originally preparing to open up a farm in Tianluo Province, and discuss follow-up matters with the Provincial Governor's Mansion of Tianluo Province. ”

Hearing a number of two hundred and thirty-two, Xu Sheng's eyes were instantly filled with shock, "Shanyang Dao, even if it is a Liukou in the Western Regions, it is impossible to penetrate into an area like Shanyang Dao... Su Youji went to Tianluo Province to open up a farm, which we didn't know before, this is aimed at our Dadexiang. Our relationship with the Provincial Governor's Mansion of Bishui Province is better than that of Tianluo Province, and their going to Tianluo Province will have a big impact on our next layout. ”

Chen Feirong nodded, "What you said is good. Su Youji is our main competitor of Da Dexiang, and this time it is aimed at us again... In Bishui Province, in addition to the military with the most people, we have the most people in Dadexiang, and there are only some farms and pastures in our Dadexiang, which are most suitable for hiding a large number of loaded carriages. ”

Xu Sheng nodded, "So the Criminal Division and the military have some suspicions that our Da Dexiang did it?"

Chen Feirong said softly: "If you have a little suspicion, you have to check the procedure, otherwise you won't worry about having a bad relationship with our Da Dexiang, and you have to ask me to explain the situation first, after all, our Da Dexiang is doing legitimate business, and it is impossible to be so unscrupulous and bold, after all, this is more than two hundred and thirty lives." No businessman can afford this kind of felony, and now the chief criminal department and the military are still a little confused about the intention of the people who robbed and killed the train. I remember that we originally had a convoy going out of Bishui Province tomorrow, and when we returned, we would postpone it until the military tracked it down for a while. I also think it's strange that if you want to rob grain, the rogue who is short of food will definitely not dare to go deep into such an area, but instead of robbing grain, only take property, why take away all such a fleet... It is too difficult and dangerous for such a fleet to cover up the traces. ”

Xu Sheng's brows furrowed violently, and he muttered, "Could it be that the target itself is horses and load-bearing carriages?... Could it be that they are engaged in black market business, or that there is a backlog of some shady things to be transported out of Biluoling, but if a large number of horse-drawn carriages are transferred from outside Biluoling, it is easy for people to pass through these loaded carriages and trace the identity of the person who used the carriage?"

"I'm about the same as you guessed. Chen Feirong said calmly: "But to be able to kill so many people in Su Youji, and to be able to quickly transfer these vehicles, so that the military can't track them down for a while, the strength must be very strong." To mobilize a large number of carriages into the Biluo Mausoleum without being discovered the identity of the main messenger behind the scenes, it is still possible to do it... I think the most important thing is that this carriage is ready-made, and it will be much faster to grab this carriage than to mobilize a large number of loaded carriages from other places. It seems like a race for time... Do something big as soon as possible. ”

"If we want to seize time, at least it means that there are enough threatening opponents, and these forces are not something we can interfere with. Xu Sheng took a deep breath, turned his head, glanced at Chen Feirong, and said.

"You're right, so I'm worried about the safety of some of our Dadexiang convoys, so I can't afford to provoke them, so I can only hide as much as possible first, and I will ask the military to search our farms and ranches in Dadexiang today, and let the military send troops to protect what I think may be dangerous. Chen Feirong suddenly smiled slightly and said, "But there are still some dangerous things... So I'm afraid we have to let Lord Lin know, and we have to let him arrange help. ”

"Inform Lord Lin?" Xu Sheng's breath couldn't help but pause, his hands were a little cold, he knew very well that he and Chen Feirong also wanted to see Lin Xi again, but he knew even more that Chen Feirong was very measured, if it wasn't for the crisis that he couldn't really deal with, he would definitely not trouble Lin Xi. "What else is dangerous?" he asked softly, somewhat shocked.

"The haunting Liu family... You don't know some things about me and the Liu family, Lord Lin knows. Chen Feirong shook her head lightly and said, "The Provincial Governor does have a lot of protection for us, and today in the barracks, he sent someone to tell me that an official of the Liu family has been transferred to Bishui Province, and it seems that he is also investigating the matter between me and Da Dexiang." ”

"The Liu family has also investigated some of my background at the Dragon Snake Border Pass before, but the people there should have been killed by Lord Lin and them. After a pause, Chen Feirong added: "The more unwilling the Liu family is now, the more ruthless they will be to retaliate against us. So I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with us alone. ”

Xu Sheng lowered his voice again and said, "Lord Lin's whereabouts are uncertain... How can I get him to know so quickly?"

"We made an appointment with soap. ”

Thinking that this was a secret belonging to herself and Lin Xi, and it was also a very powerful, and it could even be said to be Yun Qin's greatest means of transmitting military intelligence and secrets so far, Chen Feirong smiled sweetly and said softly: "Our Dadexiang's rice noodles are not all over Yunqin now, but our soap paste has occupied all the streets and alleys of Yun Qin, and where people take baths and laundry, there is our soap cream. ”

Xu Sheng was stunned.

Chen Feirong smiled sweetly and continued to explain: "When Lord Lin and I first discussed this secret, we had already begun to make all preparations. Each of our workshops has prepared a set of movable type inlay molds, and when we want to deliver the message, our workshops around the country will produce the soap paste we want to deliver the message at a very fast speed... And then we will deliberately lower the price of this soap paste under the pretext of some discounts... Who wouldn't love soap paste that looks more exquisite, but is of the same quality, and the price is cheaper? In particular, many caravans, many small traders, will spread such soap paste to every corner of Yunqin, even the most border gates, faster than we can distribute goods. ”

Xu Sheng took a deep breath and asked softly in an unimaginable voice, "What do you mean... Just print what you want to say and tell Lord Lin on every piece of soap cream?"

"Yes. Chen Feirong chuckled and said, "Lord Lin and I have agreed on a unique set of ciphertexts... The set of words he wrote to me was square, very good at making movable type molds, and like very mysterious runes, with such patterns embossed on both sides of the soap cream, which was very unique and beautiful. At the time of the previous trial production, a few sets were made and given to a few big literati and some big officials, all of which were written with swearing, such as 'vassal elegance does not know elegance, no illness moans and composes books', 'greedy for gold and silver is cool for a while, and then harms the whole family' and so on. Those literati and officials were not only angry when they saw it, but also loved it very much, and felt that the pattern was unique, and many of them were probably still at home to look at, reluctant to use it. Lord Lin is really funny at times, and he gave all of us this series of soap creams made in this set of characters a name, 'Another World'. The name of this series alone and the unique texture of these words have made many literati and scholars love it even more, and they feel that it is very meaningful and compatible. ”

Xu Sheng was completely stunned when he heard this.

He has been operating in the fish market since he was a child, and he has come into contact with many merchants by now, but these thoughts and thoughts are not a matter of being smart or not, but make him feel that the head of Lord Lin Xilin, whom he respects, is not at all the same as ordinary people.

"Who would know that the secret is placed in broad daylight, in any street and alley of Yunqin, under anyone's nose?" With the bump of the carriage, he was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but say: "This is a huge intelligence agency, but others can't think of it." And the speed of delivering messages is not only fast, but also unusually thorough... Even the intelligence agencies of the court are inferior to... Because only the officials in those institutions are passing on the court, but it is countless merchants and hawkers who are fueling the trouble. ”

Chen Feirong's eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, and said, "Since Lord Lin decided to do black market business, he feels that this will definitely be of great use in the future. ”

Xu Sheng's mood couldn't help but be a little inexplicably excited, "Lord Lin is really human. He laughed and sighed.
