At the fur market in Qiuzi, a man in a peaked felt hat squeezes into the crowd. He cocked the collar of his beard to cover his thin face, and when he looked back at him and no one was paying attention to him, he walked around the alley and stood outside the back door of the leather store.

The man knocked lightly on the door panel five times, and there was a sound of knocking footsteps in the courtyard, and a man opened the courtyard door and respectfully saluted the man: "Ah Lang, you're back." ”

The man nodded expressionlessly, and walked ahead with ease, the man carefully accompanying him. He entered through the back door, stepped up the stairs to the second floor of the leather store, and stood in front of the window of the attic to look at the customers who had gathered in front of the store to freeze into dogs, but to haggle with their throats.

He sneered contemptuously and said to the shopkeeper who had been waiting in the room for a long time, "Increase the price by one more percent." ”

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide in surprise: "It's still rising?" Ah Lang, this is really too dangerous, a few soldiers came to make trouble today, and almost beat the guys. ”

The man snorted coldly: "It's just a few stinky foot shrimp, and they can't make any big waves, you can rest assured that the price will be raised, and I will carry it for you if there is anything." ”

He sat cross-legged on the carpet, took off his felt hat from his head, put the collar of his beard on his shoulder, reached out and pulled the black mustache thorn off his lips, and pursed his mouth in pain, revealing a disgusting little white face.

This is exactly the Anxi Duhufu record of the military Xiao Ting, as the saying goes, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, but no one could have imagined that Xiao joined the army and had the largest leather store in Qiuzi City under his name.

This year, the temperature in Anxi was much colder than usual, and there were many frostbite phenomena in the army, Xiao Ting, who was the first to get the news, joined the army, and immediately seized this business opportunity to make a fortune, so that his store was the first to raise the price, and sold the sheepskin jacket to more than 700 yuan, which can be called the strongest trader who seeks huge profits.

"That's right." He turned around and instructed the shopkeeper: "Find a few more reliable people in the city, and prepare a sum of money for them." ”

"Recently, a shop was opened in the city of Qiuzi, and they wanted to sell cotton jackets and quilts instead of sheepskin wool, in an attempt to force us to lower the price at a very low price. You call these people, buy them for me! We bought all these quilts and jackets, hoarded them in our hands, and when they sold out, we raised the price aggressively. ”

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth fiercely and sneered: "You want to crush me? I told you to die and I don't know how! ”

He clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly turned around and asked, "My cousin, Lu Qian, does he know about this place?" ”

"He's been to our store, but he doesn't know it's you."

"Very well," he said, holding out two fingers in the air, "don't let him know that this bastard is not enough to do more than anything, and don't let him spoil our business." ”

Having such a cousin, I don't know if it's his blessing or his bad luck. Anyway, having such a brainless person can also give him a lot of superiority.

It seems that Li Siye, the sudden opponent, was also provoked by Lu Qian, his cousin.

……

Li Siye held the quilt and walked side by side with Cao Zhenqing on the straight road of the Duhu Mansion, with many doubts in his heart, and the biggest doubt came from the record of the military Xiao Ting.

"What is the origin of this Xiao Ting, I don't seem to know him, why did he just owe him money to me, and bared his teeth with me again and again?"

"Xiao joined the army from Jinshike, and I haven't heard of any background, but this person's brain is very good, he can figure out the thoughts of his superiors better than ordinary people, and he is more arrogant and strong than ordinary people."

"Damn, it's so strong on my head, I resisted the urge to beat him two or three times just now, but it's a pity that General Du Hu and Gao are there, I can only hold back."

Cao Zhenqing also felt a little strange, nodded and said: "Xiao joins the army, this person is very polite to people, and he usually has enmity with others, why did he meet you...... Maybe he's out of a public spirit. ”

"A bird!"

Li Siye muttered and scolded, and asked Cao Zhenqing again: "Cao joins the army, can you tell me some details of Xiao Ting, I will go and pull his pigtails." ”

Cao Zhenqing was a little disliked, maybe he felt that Li Siye was too eye-catching, but he still said: "I am not familiar with Xiao in the army, how do I know his details, but he does have a cousin named Lu Qian, who serves as a guard brigade leader in the Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Sure enough, this is a nest of snakes and rats, and I finally know where the source of hatred is. However, this situation is too abnormal, it stands to reason that Lu Qian offended himself first, and this Xiao Ting will not be stubborn in the matter of quilts. Killing him didn't believe that this Lu Qian had any public intentions, it must be something contrary to his own interests.

Thinking of this, Li Siye asked: "Does this Xiao Ting have his own shop in Qiuzi City?" Or a comptoir? ”

"No, I don't." Cao Zhenqing nodded firmly: "Xiao Ting joined the army, as far as I know, he is an honest official, and he never buys private property, except for a house in the north of Qiuzi City, he has nothing else. ”

Cao Zhenqing smiled generously: "I know that his words and actions just now were a little intense, but you can't maliciously slander others because of your own speculation." ”

"I can't slander him, don't worry, I will definitely find out a meridian ugly in this matter."

People can't be selfish enough to think that others are not selfish, in Cao Zhenqing's view, Xiao Ting is an honest and kind official, but Li Siye sees another side in the other party, which is enough to show that this person's yin owl, if this kind of person has a public heart, I Li Siye can be a saint, if I don't kill him, how can I mix in Anxi in the future?

Cao Zhenqing couldn't get any useful information on his side, so he had better hurry up and complete the things he promised to protect first.

……

The Persian Suhrab drank in his fur, the firewood crackled in the fireplace, and five exotic beauties with high noses and deep eyes gathered around him, playing the game of using their lips as drinking utensils and taking turns feeding their husbands.

I have to say that the Persian rich city will play.

Su He's butler hurriedly ran over, opened the door, and seeing such an absurd and fragrant scene, he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his sleeve, and said calmly: "Lang, someone is visiting outside. ”

"Nope! It's cold, and I have no intention of meeting guests. ”

"Oh, this guest, hot-tempered, not easy to mess with."

"Who is it?"

"It's the one last time, the one who bought the seeds and took you to the Green Ridge!"

The lady in the red veil folded her arms, wrapped her arms around Suhe's shoulders, opened her lips and was drinking. Su He's heart trembled suddenly, and he coughed violently, which made the lady squirt wildly, and sprayed a mouthful full of grape wine on Su He.

"Oh, Ah Lang, I'll change your clothes!"

The lady dragged the silk silk and rubbed wildly on his body, Su He pushed her away with a sigh, pointed at the ladies around him and said angrily: "You few! Hurry up and get me upstairs! ”

"We don't!"

Su He shouted in a low voice: "If you are disobedient, this guard who will come later will be a rude pervert, so that he will take you captive to the Green Mountains, and the ice and snow will make you call the heavens and the earth unspiritual!" ”

The pretty faces of the ladies turned pale, and they hurriedly covered their faces with narrow sleeves and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Li Siye had already kicked in the door, and the lady who fell at the end screamed and ran upstairs like a ghost.

Why are they afraid of me? Li Siye flawlessly took this issue into account, and directly pointed at Suhrab and said, "There is a business that I need you to help me do." ”
