This palatial building has three floors, with a wine shop and a tea house on the first floor, and a cramped room like a pigeon cage.

These pigeon cages are large bunks from door to wall, with a small window on the wall, and it is typical to take off your shoes and go to the kang when you enter the door.

Han Changdu's official position naturally does not live in Datongpu, and directly skips the first floor and goes to the second floor.

The rooms on the second floor are slightly larger, the windows are also slightly larger, and the view is much wider than that on the first floor, with two beds in each room, and a pot of bright begonias under the window.

This is the standard configuration of a business trip in the previous life, a standard double room.

Yao Qi nodded, this time out of tolerance, it is estimated that he will live on the second floor.

The long hair of the shopkeeper of the building boat fluttered in the river breeze, he had been the shopkeeper on the boat for ten years, and his eyesight was good, but for the first time he saw the white-clothed Hanshi who could afford to live on the third floor.

He led the two of them directly to the third floor, and bowed his body respectfully: "The guest rooms of the two distinguished guests are on the third floor, and the villain guest officer will go up to take a look." ”

Han Changwan nodded silently.

Yao Qi gave birth to a little joy, the third floor, the luxury cabin.

The fare on the third floor is sky-high, but it is expensive, and it is really the best place to see the whole ship, the room is spacious, the decoration is gorgeous, the wide bed is against the wall, and it is not crowded to sleep three or five people horizontally.

The room is at the end of the hallway, and the two rooms are next to each other, so that they can easily communicate with each other.

Han Changdui is dressed as an ordinary white-clothed Hanshi, and at first glance he is not from a wealthy and noble background, except for being better, there are no other benefits.

Both of them are ordinary and have no wealth, but they can afford to pay for the boat on the third floor, and their backgrounds must be unusual.

This building ship is operated by the Zhou family of Yangzhou giant, the shopkeeper is nearly fifty years old, his eyesight is vicious and sharp, although he did not deliberately please the two, but he did not show contempt, and led the two to their respective rooms in a decent manner, and carefully introduced the layout and structure of the building ship, the things that need to be paid attention to, and instructed the little guy to send hot water to the two people's room, and then retired.

I thought that the room on the building must be wet and damp, but when I pushed the door open, there was no moisture to meet him, but it was exceptionally refreshing.

The incense was burned in the room, and the incense was brought into the city by the horse, and the nobles rushed to buy it with a lot of money, but they did not expect that the ship on this floor would be so magnanimous.

Yao Qi is a person who has never seen the world, such a wealth has already blinded her eyes, her eyes are not enough, on the third floor platform by the railing overlook, the sky is long and the water is wide, it is really a long and depressing business trip.

Han Changwan was born in a family, and he was not surprised by this magnificent building ship, and his face did not change for a moment, but he leaned against the staircase, silently looking at everything in front of him.

There was a sudden noise downstairs, Yao Qi hurriedly leaned over to look, and saw a group of dozens of people soaring onto the boat, all of them were big men with five big and three thick shapes.

Han Changdui raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold face, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally had a little expression, staring at the dozens of boxes carried by the group up the stairs.

Yao Qi captured the change in Han Changdui, it turned out that he was coming for these people, no wonder he didn't go directly to Yumen Pass from Chang'an City, but went around to Yangzhou and boarded the boat from Guazhou Ferry.

She grinned, like a little maid who had never done anything in the world, walked quickly to the staircase, and saluted Han Changdu: "Childe, it's better to go into the room first." ”

Han Changwan pursed his lips and said nothing, and entered the room with his hands behind his back.

Yao Qi smiled and followed the group, watching them stuff the big box into the room, frowning slightly.

Yao Ji is dressed as a maid, smiling ignorant of the world, harmless to people and animals, this group of people let her look at it all over, and she didn't stop it or suspect it.

The group grew tall and strong, and walked like an earthquake, smashing the floor and shaking for half an hour before it was quiet.

Yao Qi waved her hand, and the dust in the corridor was stomped up by them, very choking, she frowned and pushed the door in, and saw Han Changdui crooked on the bed of Xiaohu, pouring herself a drink, she poured herself a cup of tea without seeing.

Han Changdu's face was calm: "How do you know to stay and watch them." ”

Yao Qi restrained himself from looking at Han Changdu's long legs on the side of Hu's bed, and pursed his lips: "Your face has changed." ”

"......" Han Changwan twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's just, it's that simple." ”

Yao Qi smiled, otherwise, he would have traveled all the way from Chang'an City to Guazhou Ferry, not riding a horse, but taking a boat, and living in a luxury cabin, even if he was on a business trip with public funds, he couldn't be so bad.

So much silver, enough to buy how much rouge gouache for the saint's favorite concubine, such a waste for no reason, the saint knows, can't he scold.

Han Changwan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and recognized Yao Qi's statement, and said lightly: "Then tell me, what do you see." ”

Yao Ji held the cup and thought for a while: "There are twenty-one of them, two people carry a lot, a total of ten boxes, the box is not big, not very heavy, the long rod of the box is not deformed, the outside of the box is brushed with tung oil, the gap is sealed with wax, the copper lock is a concentric lock of the son and mother, and the lock is branded with fire paint wax print, which is a common sealing method for the dart board of the waterway." These people are very stable, their arms and legs are much stronger than those of ordinary martial arts practitioners, and they are all hard skills practiced horizontally, if I am not mistaken, these people are dart masters in the dart game. ”

In just half an hour, she couldn't get too close, just a few hasty glances, Yao Qi could see so many things, and she was so confident that she was shining with light, Han Changwan glanced at her deeply, and her face unconsciously approved.

Yao Qi didn't notice Han Changdui's expression, thought about it, and continued to himself: "There must be tea in the goods they escorted. ”

"Oh." Han Changdui was interested and straightened up.

Yao Qi wrinkled: "I smelled the aroma of Qi tea in Qimen, Shezhou." ”

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed: "The fragrance of tea is almost the same, how do you know that it is Qimen Qi tea." ”

Yao Qi was a little embarrassed and smiled: "Qi tea is rare, last time the sage rewarded Leng Linjiang with two taels, I drank it once from him, the aroma is high, and there is a sweet and refreshing tender fragrance that other teas don't have, so I wrote it down." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "I only drank it once, and I wrote down this taste, Yao joined the army and was really talented." ”

Yao Qi snorted.

This is a different way of scolding, scolding her for having a nose that is smarter than a dog's nose, laughing at her for not seeing the world, drinking tea once, and never forgetting it.

Yao Qi automatically ignored the sarcasm in Han Changdu's words, and sighed: "I have a bad memory, what else does the son want to ask, ask it early, otherwise I will forget it, and I won't be able to ask." ”

Han Changdui took a sip of tea: "Don't you wonder why I want to bypass Chang'an City, why I am interested in these dart masters." ”

Yao Ji shook his head: "Not interested." ”

Her biggest advantage is not that she is good at sycophancy, nor is she good at catching thieves, but she is knowledgeable, has eyesight, doesn't ask what she shouldn't ask, and doesn't be curious if she shouldn't be curious, after all, curiosity kills cats.

Don't be funny, Shangguan's decision, she is a subordinate, how can she have room for beaking, so what are you curious about, Shangguan will go wherever she wants, and Shangguan will beat whoever she wants.

What Shangguan said is right, what Shangguan does makes sense, and listening to Shangguan's words is the only rule of mixing officialdom.

Han Changwan didn't know Yao Qi's thoughts, but he felt that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl didn't have any curiosity, which made him curious.

Han Changdui bent his fingers and tapped a few times: "Have you heard of the Fire Zoroastrian Sect?" ”

Yao Qi nodded, there are many members of this sect, and many temples have been built in many squares in Chang'an City, and this religion is also quite popular in the countries of the Western Regions.

Han Changdui continued: "These dart masters belong to the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and the goods escorted are from the Zhou family in Yangzhou City, and the one who controls the Zhou family behind the scenes is Sa Bao of the Fire Zoroastrian Sect, and this batch of goods is sent to the country of Qiuzi, and the Zhou family is the largest merchant on the road to the Western Regions, and has repeatedly transported contraband that the imperial court prohibits trading, but they have never missed. ”

Yao Qi nodded, as expected, most of such businessmen are protected by someone behind them.

In the merchants, there are often Shu brocade to the north, salt and iron to the south, gold and jade to the east, and tea to the west, all of which are valuable things worth thousands of gold.

The Zhou family was born as a businessman, and he was the largest merchant on the Western Regions Road, and the things he sold included all the valuables in the trading house, only what the world could not imagine, and there was nothing that the world could not buy.

Any one of these goods, taken out alone, is worth a lot of money, and it can attract all kinds of thieves and horse thieves along the way in the Western Regions, sharpening their knives and sharpening their knives to fat sheep.

But the Zhou family went all the way unimpeded, and the robbery was a legend for the Zhou family.

Not to mention that the Zhou family is rich and rivals the country, just this flatness on the road, other businessmen are beyond the reach of other businessmen, and it is difficult to catch up.

Let's just say that the nouveau riche standard building boat they are riding now is part of the Zhou family's business, ordinary businessmen, really can't afford to buy it, even if they buy it, doing this line of business is also a lot of obstructions, just to deal with the pervasive foot gang, it is not easy.

She blurted out: "There are people in the court, not only good officials, but also good business, the Zhou family's business is so big, if there is less ventilation in the court, how can the Zhou family do to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, but it is just the collusion of officials and businessmen, mutual benefit, and not to cause a big mess, who will be nosy." ”

Han Changwan was stunned for a moment and smiled thoughtfully.

It's been a long time since I've heard such straightforward words, these things are indeed tacit acquiescence in the DPRK, as long as they don't cause a big mess, no one will delve into it, but such words come out of the mouth of a little girl with a slight official position, and it is a little more deafening.

He looked at Yao Qi with interest and grinned, "You really dare to say it." ”

It's over, forget that the person in front of me is an internal security department, this nonsense mouth.

It seems that a crow flies by, Yao Qi, who said the wrong thing, has a black line on his face, and silently lit a piece of wax in his heart.
