After all the quilts were loaded and unloaded, Li Siye did not immediately transport the other 1,000 quilts to the market in Qiuzi, but went directly to Cao Zhenqing, who joined the army, and had a conversation with him.

"The leather traders in the Qiuzi Bazaar have maliciously raised prices, why don't you care about it?"

Cao Zhenqing said angrily: "Do you think I don't want to care? The market in Qiuzi is different from the two cities of Chang'an and Dongdu, and the Metropolitan Protectorate has not set up a city office, and even if a city office is set up, the management cannot be as strict as Chang'an, as long as the price rises, people will be arrested? Isn't that messy? After all, this is in the border area of the Tang Dynasty, with 36 Anxi departments, nine surnames of Zhaowu, and Tubo Dashi outside, eyeing the tiger. Unless it is clear who is disrupting the market, arresting so many leather traders will cause trouble. ”

Li Siye stroked his palms and smiled: "That's right, I'll wait for your words, what if I can help you find the first evil that disrupts the market?" ”

"If you can find it!" Cao Zhenqing patted his chest and said, "Whatever you want to do in Qiuzi in the future, you can instruct me." ”

Li Siye approached his face and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course."

"Okay, first bring the big seal you joined the army and let me summon it."

Cao Zhenqing was taken aback, and said angrily: "You are a broken family, you haven't found anyone yet!" What do you want my Great Seal to do? ”

Li Siye quietly approached his ear and whispered: "We have prepared a thousand strips of cloth, and each strip of cloth must be stamped with the big seal of your Dufu Facao, as for what it is used for, this is top secret." ”

Cao Zhenqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll believe you once." ”

Li Siye sent all the quilts to the newly rented shop in the Qiuzi Bazaar, but instead of opening the door, he waited for three days, making the people in the open and in the dark impatient.

Three days later, Suhe personally acted as the shopkeeper to open the door, and the business was immediately booming, it was so good that thirty or forty customers rushed back and forth to buy and the door of the store was almost squeezed.

It is unusual that the padded jacket and quilt shop almost did not advertise anything, and there was not even a buffer period, and it was able to sell more than 500 pieces on the same day.

When the shop closed that afternoon, Su He hurriedly grabbed Li Siye, who had come to check on the business, dragged him to the corner and whispered: "Listen to me, today's business is a bit bizarre. ”

"Didn't you say that 500 pieces were sold? What's weird? ”

"The key is that the customers who come to buy are always those 20 or so familiar faces, and each time they buy five or six sets of five or six sets, and some people even come to buy more than 30 times a day. I suspect that these quilts and jackets have been taken away by unscrupulous traders, and when we sell out of goods, they may have to sell them at a higher price. ”

Li Siye's tone was frivolous, and he looked indifferent: "I have prepared 1,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts, each set is sold at a price of 400 yuan, so many goods, can they eat it?" ”

"Alas, Li Yuanjun, don't underestimate these Anxi traders, there are many of them who are richer than me, not to mention these thousand pieces, even if there are more cotton clothes and quilts, they can eat them."

Li Siye stopped joking with him, and asked solemnly: "Did you send someone to follow him, where did all these people go?" ”

"Of course, my Su Ji shopkeeper is made for nothing? They sent all the quilts they had bought to a warehouse in the west of the city. ”

Li Siye frowned, his eyes were like sharp goshawks, and then he smiled and patted Su He's shoulder: "That's right, the results of my people's investigation, you don't care about this matter, continue to sell them, don't let these customers see the flaws." ”

"But ......"

"It's okay, I have my own way."

When night falls, the weather in Qiuzi is dry and sunny, and the smell of the air is icy and sweet. In a warehouse in the west of the city, the door of the storehouse was wide open, and the coachman drove several horse-drawn wagons into the warehouse and began to load the wagons with quilts.

A man in a black nightcoat squatted on a cloud-shirted tree not far away, his figure blocked by the dry canopy branches, and he was staring at the moving site with burning eyes.

Several wagons, all loaded with cotton clothes and quilts, slowly drove down the street, and the man in black slid down the tree and secretly followed the vehicle forward.

The four towns of Anxi also imposed a curfew at night like Chang'an, but these cars seemed to have special care, and the patrol soldiers only interrogated them and let them pass.

The man in black evaded the patrol and followed the vehicle to the back door of the largest leather store in Qiuzi, and immediately a few men came out to carry the goods, and when the goods were carried out, the drivers drove away, and the shop in the Qiuzi market immediately returned to quiet.

The man in black did not leave, jumped lightly against the courtyard wall, and then rolled over to the roof, walking slowly on the rubble like a cat. He carefully discerned the sound coming from below, then crouched down and pulled a piece of tile out, and saw what was happening on the second floor of the leather store.

Xiao Ting sat cross-legged in front of the middle desk, and the shop boss and a few guys knelt down, listening to the instructions of their big boss.

"How many sets did you buy today?"

"I bought a total of more than 400 sets, and all of them were sent to the warehouse in the backyard of our store, but Ah Lang, if the other party has a lot of inventory, we can't eat them all, and when the time comes, there will be no money in the account, and these quilts will be backlogged in our hands."

Xiao Ting smiled coldly: "You don't have to worry, he doesn't have much inventory in his hand, and when his inventory is sold out, we will start selling it at a higher price, and we will also have to use it in the name of his green ridge guarding." Not only do I want to make money with his cotton clothes and quilts, but I also want to use his life to protect Du, like this kind of person who doesn't know whether to live or die, is a stepping stone for the official to climb up. ”

The man in black closed the rubble, turned lightly away from the roof, and then walked along the eaves of the alley, and soon came to an inn in the east of the city.

Li Siye lit an oil lamp and waited patiently in the next room, and when he heard three long knocks on the door, he took the initiative to walk over and open the next door.

After Tian Zhen entered the door, he took the initiative to pull off the black mask, nodded to Li Siye and said: "I found it, sure enough, it is Lu Ji Leather Shop, and the boss behind them is Xiao Ting, the military officer of Anxi Lushi." ”

Li Siye smiled coldly: "Sure enough, it's this Xiao Ting, I really didn't wronged him, it's easy to do." After he bought all the quilts and sold them at a public price, Cao Zhenqing and I joined the army with Cao Cao and immediately took action to wipe out these people! ”

Tian Zhen was very disgusted with Li Siye's sinister expression, as if he was doing things for the bad guys, but he didn't speak coldly.

Li Siye didn't care about his true thoughts, he just pondered and continued: "There is one thing that needs to be done next, to keep Xiao Ting in the Duhu Mansion, and not let him know when he acts, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted, how should this matter work?" ”

If you want to stabilize Xiao Ting, you must find a person of sufficient weight to drag him, who to find, it is definitely not possible to come to protect him, and it is not easy to hide things when you come to protect this person. The only suitable target is General Gao Xianzhi Gao. He is not only the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but also the military envoy of the four towns, and he is in charge of the military power of the four towns of Anxi.

It's just that he has only seen Gao Xianzhi twice, and he hasn't said a few words twice, how can he persuade General Gao to be this tool man, is it to persuade him by complimenting him in disguise, or to explain the situation directly?
