Chapter 247: Precursor

In the early morning, the mist in the branch city has not yet dissipated, and the city has already been busy.

In the shops of the market, yawning men open the doors and start preparing to clean up before opening.

Some time had passed since the Battle of Lingzhi, and I thought that there would be a great chaos in the city.

But unexpectedly, with the help of a large number of grain and straw materials, the branch city quickly stabilized.

There are no displaced people who have lost their homes on the streets, and there are no soldiers and bandits who go around burning and looting.

Anyone can clearly feel that these new sergeants who have taken over the defense of the city are very different from the usual county soldiers.

As long as those black-armored sergeants stood on the side of the road, they gave people an incomparable sense of security.

After all, that black armor looks really rich and generous.

It doesn't look like he'll pull down and loot at all.

Wearing such valuable armor, it is really unreasonable to rob the poor of two broken crockpots and a few rotten clothes with holes.

In fact, there was no sign of looting in the city.

Even the ordinary adulterers who committed adultery after breaking the city have never heard of it.

On the contrary, the girls in the city would go in groups of three or five to see those armor soldiers, and from time to time they would throw melons and fruits.

Those armorers are also interesting, all of them are red-faced, but they are never light-hearted.

It is also known that the sergeants and their families in the army are extremely well paid.

This made the hearts of the girls in the city even more wandering, and the eyes that stared at those black-clad armor soldiers glowed green.

The atmosphere in the north is open, and there are a lot of peachy anecdotes.

Not only the girls love to watch it, but the shop guys also love to watch it.

Down to eight years old, up to eighty, what man can refuse that handsome military uniform, mighty armor?

This guy looked in, but he felt that the atmosphere was not right today.

The old lady who used to stand on the street corner to pick her son-in-law was nowhere to be seen.

Just as I was about to inquire, I saw a team of armor soldiers, holding a stack of paperwork in their hands, distributing them from door to door.

The guy knew that the sergeants wouldn't do anything to him, but he immediately grabbed the broom and dodged to the side.

At this time, a sergeant was already standing in front of him, handing him a piece of paper.

The man hurriedly bent down to take it with both hands, and knowing that he was illiterate, the sergeant explained to him: "This is a notice of closure of business, and the city will be closed for the next three days, and all the trading companies in the city will be prohibited from operating." ”

"If you hear about the riot, don't panic, it's a search for the murderer."

What kind of murderer is the scheming sergeant did not explain, and the man did not dare to ask.

After telling the man to close the door as soon as possible, the sergeant seemed to be busy and turned to leave.

Just before leaving, he said: "If you see any suspicious person, you can report it to the officials of the fangmen, and if it is confirmed, there is a reward in the Taishou Mansion." ”

After saying that, he hurried to the next one.

The guy who was treated so patiently and politely for the first time watched the other person leave.

"It's really different." He muttered and slammed the door shut.

While closing, I was glad that I was able to take a break for three days.

Humming a little song in his mouth, he kept the snow-white and snow-white closure notice covered with a sealed letter.

I'm going to go back and get the window that leaks.

The atmosphere in the city is somewhere between tense and relaxed.

Early in the morning, Xu Tian still came to be on duty.

But unlike the usual punishment on duty, his heart was very happy at this moment.

Early this morning, he heard about the fire in the weaving mill and knew that it had happened.

Especially when I saw Li Li sitting on the top with a black face, the grandson lady who would wear a hat to come to the Taishou Mansion in the past did not see it today.

Xu Tian controlled the expression on his face, and couldn't help but think that if it was done, he didn't know what benefits he could get.

The head of the Gao family's car came out of Gongsun's house, and when he got the news, he came to visit.

But he did not receive a satisfactory answer.

The girl was still smiling sweetly and asked him to be patient.

But the head of the Gao family knew that the smile was far from being as relaxed as before.

Since the morning, people have been visiting constantly, and the girl's face is haggard that even fat powder can't hide.

The head of the Gao family sighed secretly in his heart, thinking of the news that someone had secretly delivered last night, he was very hesitant for a while.

He knew that another moment of choice was in front of him.

The choice this time was not difficult, but ......

The head of the Gao family is very serious on his face, he has been friends with Gongsun Jing for decades, will that old fox really hand over the Gongsun family rashly?

Is that young lady really as eager for quick success as she appears?

The head of the Gao family closed his eyes and pondered, and his fingers in his sleeves kept moving.

In the afternoon, he said that he was sick at home and did not see any visitors for the time being.

Lingzhi City, a dilapidated wine shop on the outskirts of the southern city.

The neighbors didn't know that this would be Lian's industry.

Syllable!

A slap in the face of Lian Zhe.

"Nonsense! Who allowed you to do it? "The current head of the Lian family, Lian Zhe's father Lian Yu was furious and reprimanded his eldest son.

He almost lost his breath this morning when he received the news of what the little beast had done.

Lian Zhe didn't dare to hide, and stood in place and received a slap.

The white and tender skin of the prince of the family immediately appeared on the red finger marks.

But he said loudly: "Father, this is a great opportunity, it's a pity to miss it!" ”

Lian Yu's chest rose and fell a few times, and finally calmed down.

"Did you really go to the tavern by accident and overhear those people talking?"

Lian Zhe affirmed: "Of course, father, the son is not stupid, he went that day when he heard that the wine shop was selling wine and the lady was tender, and the son took the initiative to talk!" ”

Lian Yu thought about it, and turned his head to look at Lian Yi next to him: "You saw it burned with your own eyes?" ”

Lian Yi recalled it seriously and nodded affirmatively: "Homecoming, I have indeed seen it with my own eyes." The steward also brought out the drawings of the loom. ”

Lian Yu's face softened a lot, and after a while, he snorted coldly and said to Lian Zhe: "You stay honest." ”

Then he brushed his sleeves and walked away.

But Lian Zhe smiled, he knew that with his father as a lobbyist, he would definitely be able to contact and persuade the family in the city.

Although Lian Zhe was tired, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

He found Steward Ding and Wang Jin, who were hiding here together, and bent down and saluted: "Thank you two for your help." ”

Wang Jin hurriedly avoided: "Lian Langjun doesn't have to be polite. ”

Steward Ding was much more realistic, and he patted the loom drawings hidden in his chest, where he was hidden.

"Childe is very polite."

Lian Zhe looked at Steward Ding's movements, his eyes darkened, but he looked up and smiled: "Steward Ding, can you take a look at the drawings below?" ”

Steward Ding hesitated for a moment, then took it out and handed it over.

Lian Zhe opened it to see, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he was about to say something.

Steward Ding had taken the drawings out of his hands.

He Ran smiled and said, "Lian Langjun, this is something that I and other brothers brought out with their lives, or is it ...... Let's wait for more people and take a closer look. ”

Lian Zhe knew that he wanted to wait for the price and sell, change it to a high price, sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

In the evening, many people dressed in brocade fur came here in a low-key manner, and the lights were lit up all night in the dilapidated wine shop.
