Chapter IV

It is said that from silk all the way to the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the imperial city.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see the majesty and prosperity of the eyes, and the streets are lined with teahouses, pawnshops, and workshops...... The flow of people is endless, and there are many people who carry burdens and hurry, ox carts and donkey carts to deliver goods and do business, and carts and stalls.

The streets and alleys shout and sell one after another, and in the center of the stone road there are carriages and sedan chairs, embroidered bead curtains, and the prosperous times.

As soon as he entered the city, he was no longer allowed to ride fast horses, so he walked slowly from Silk to the junction in the middle of the city.

Mengliangju, a large restaurant in the imperial city, includes meals, accommodation, and even opens a gambling house, with a history of more than 100 years, and is an old shop.

People in the city have nothing to do or talk about business, and they all love to dream of living together.

Since the year before last, after slowly taking over the business of Dongyan Building in the four corners of the Universiade, it has been improved up and down, and now no matter where it is, the income is much better than before.

Most of the people below respect her, fear her, and obey her, but there are also some short-sighted fools who want to oppose her, especially the other faction of Dongyan Building.

can be brave and strategic, suppressing the other party without the power to fight back, even the landlord has to praise a few points.

Entering the Mengliang Residence, the shopkeeper's sharp eyes greeted him: "Master, I am looking forward to your coming, so let the little ones wait!" ”

"If I let me see that you are lazy, I will see that I am not a guy to serve you and wait." From silk to deep.

The shopkeeper had long been accustomed to this, and said with a shy face: "Yes, master! ”

Bi Gong sent Congsi into the wing, and the shopkeeper had already prepared good wine and food and waited. I saw that he gave a look, and the little er next to him sent the meal in a slippery manner.

"The chief master, you are busy all the way, you have to make up for your body, this is the account book of our dream Liangju in the past half a year, please check it, master." The shopkeeper Ding Shou'an respectfully brought the tray, and there were two thick account books on the plate.

Seeing this, Congsi signaled to put it down: "Well, let's go out after putting it down, busy with your going." ”

"Yes. Lord! Wang Shouan quietly walked out, and then quietly closed the door.

In the room, Congsi looked through the bill while drinking slowly, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before he was willing to put it down.

Nowadays, there are not a few people who play tricks and embezzle, since they took over the business, they have been able to get better after a hard rectification, otherwise the century-old business of Dongyan Building will be gone.

Her father-in-law trusted her and handed over many affairs of Dongyan Building to herself, and it was her duty to receive the grace of her father-in-law since she was a child. What's more, although I am busy and take care of things and trivial things, it is better to get some wages and monthly silver, and I can be more comfortable on weekdays.

When she had eaten and drunk, she began to bathe and change her clothes.

After a tiring journey, she just wants to rest now.

Thinking of Tianning's treasure, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

It seems that it will be necessary to work on this tomorrow.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and in the open space in the backyard, Congsi had been exercising for most of the morning.

Recently, I have neglected to practice, and my swordsmanship seems to be a little sluggish, and if I don't speed up my speed, I'm afraid that I will fall behind when fighting people in the future.

I saw the woman in the field holding a sword in her right hand, the figure was galloping, and the sword light flashed. Then flew up under his feet, and another cold sword stabbed out. Her body is ingenious, and the tricks in her hands are suddenly as dignified as a mountain, and suddenly the clouds are like water, and the fatal moves hide the sword intent.

In a short time, the sun was already rising, and it was clear that customers were being greeted outside the store.

Suddenly, from the end of a sword flower in the silk arm, with a light step under his feet, the person has already flown to the upstairs room.

Turned over and entered, sorted out the clothes and makeup, and after eating breakfast, he flew out of the window again, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A few days ago, the flying pigeon passed the book and asked Ding Shouan to collect information and sort out the news of Tianning's treasure, which came in handy today.

Follow the clue and go from Silk to the Captain's Mansion.

At this time, it was the early dynasty, and there was no master in the house. With his excellent light skills, he jumped over the wall and jumped over the tiles, and soon, Congsi appeared in the study of the school captain's mansion.

According to the news, the reason why the Tianning treasure first came out of the school governor's mansion was that the school governor's office sent spies to hand over the token of the Tianning treasure to the people in northern Hebei, so that he deliberately spread the news in the restaurant to attract the attention of others.

With the connections of Youlin Yanzi and Yin Si Ghost Judgment, there was naturally no way to find out such a secret matter, and in the end, he was stupidly led into a trap.

But when it comes to the Tianning treasure, the emperor rarely thinks about it, let alone a school captain.

If it weren't for the big fish behind him, how could he dare to be so presumptuous?

Leave no trace and look into the study, trying to find something.

Generally speaking, rich and noble families like to open a secret room in private to hide things.

She didn't believe that there would be a secret room in this study.

It took a lot of effort to search the entire study, and finally found a mezzanine under the desk.

When he opened it, he saw a black wooden box securely placed in it, locked by a gold lock carved with a bird's head.

Yes, the chain head dares to use gold to make it, it's really not simple, and I'm not afraid that I will spit it out if I eat too much.

Silk reached out and pulled out the lock-picking thing from her clothes, and after some testing, she only heard a "click" and the lock was opened.

When I opened the box, it was not simple, and there was a jade pendant engraved with the word "Tianning".

There was a letter under the jade pendant, which explained that the captain should secretly spread the news, win over interested people, and deal with it at that time.

The letter is gone, and there is no one to make the payment, but Congsi feels that this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

It seems that someone pulled her into this matter and thought about it.

It will not be easy to drive the person who can be the captain of the court.

is the so-called officialdom is dark, and the slightest carelessness will end up in the end of the whole house.

The people behind this must have already gathered into a group, waiting for the time to start.

It's time to get rid of this bunch of rampant things.

She has never been involved in officialdom, let alone the court. According to the historical lesson of Dongyan Lou, the farther away the better, they have never liked to mess with the affairs of the court, which has become a tradition.

But now, someone is faintly pulling her into the water.

Hmph, when she gets the opportunity in the future, don't blame her for being ruthless and retaliating.

Restore things to their original ways and disappear from the silk.

When she returned to Mengliangju, she immediately called Ding Shouan and ordered to investigate the matter again, the more detailed the better.

Although the shopkeeper Ding Shouan was curious, he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded hurriedly and arranged spies.

He went back to the room from Si Ze to write a letter, grabbed a carrier pigeon to spread the news, and secretly laid out countermeasures.
