The Homecoming Inn, which is only one street away from Guofu, is the largest and most luxurious hotel in Liangzhou.

Sun Ning and his entourage settled here and chartered two entire cross-courtyards, which can be regarded as a big deal for Liangzhou City, whose business has been greatly affected now.

This naturally made the innkeepers extremely warm and thoughtful to their hospitality, not only the food was quickly delivered to the room, but the hot water was also enough.

After Sun Ning and Xiao Qian were full of food and drink, they also took a hot bath, and after removing the fatigue along the way, Guo Chong brought another person to come.

At this time, it was dusk, and it had been half a day since they checked into the inn, but Guo Chong still looked like a dusty man, looking more tired than before.

Because he didn't rest like Sun Ning and the others, but quickly left the inn again, found this henchman who had only listened to him many years ago, and brought people over.

As the former eldest young master of the Guo family, even if he is not angry, he can still find a few people who are willing to work for him.

And Guo Chong knows how dangerous his situation is, so he is more careful and critical of such a henchman, and the one who can still make him believe and find it as soon as possible at this time must be a capable person who can stand the test and have considerable ability.

But judging from the way he looks, this one is too ordinary.

I saw that he was forty or fifty years old, his face was full of wrinkles and bitterness, his stature was short, and his eyes were lowered, no different from the poor people who could be seen everywhere in this city.

Seeing Sun Ning looking at the people he brought with a scrutinizing gaze, Guo Chong explained with a smile: "Don't look at Lao Lu's appearance, he is shrewd, he relied on a calculation to open three shops, and he can be regarded as a person with some assets in the city." ”

Lao Lu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That's all in the past, and the result is not that he was targeted by those young masters because of this." If it weren't for Guo Dashao's rescue, not only would my small family be small, but even my life would have to be taken by them......"

Just one sentence made Sun Ning feel the shrewdness of this person.

What he said seemed to be modest, but in fact, he was pointing out the fact that he owed Guo Chong a great grace for saving his life, and his family was also victimized by a few gentlemen in this Liangzhou City, so naturally it was impossible for others to use it anymore, and he would only follow Guo Chong with one heart.

Sun Ning smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, as long as this thing is successful, no matter who your enemy is, I can let you kill his whole family with your own hands!" ”

These words made Lao Lu's spirit even more uplifted, glanced at Guo Chong, and nodded vigorously: "The little one must have done everything, even if he loses his life." ”

"Don't worry, there is not so much danger, and you will not be allowed to lose your life." Sun Ning comforted again, and then said, "Let's talk about the current situation in Liangzhou City that you know." ”

Lao Lu replied in a low voice, and then said: "In the past few years, Liangzhou and many cities under the rule of the Guo family have been quite peaceful, not only the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, but even the bandits and others who have fallen outside have been wiped out one by one, so the roads are much safer."

"The only thing that threatens is that the Pingtian Army in the north patrols from time to time, and there are some moves in Jiangnan this time.

"However, in this calm, in fact, at least in Liangzhou City, there are still some unstable factors. Because of the changes of the day, many local family officials who participated in the mutiny were liquidated afterwards, and some of them lost their positions, and even their lives could not be saved. ”

Hearing him talk about the consequences of the events of the year, Sun Ning and Guo Chong's expressions changed, and they glanced at each other, and then continued to listen to Lao Lu.

"At that time, those who had not participated in the mutiny before, and whose status and official positions were not high enough, thought that this was an opportunity, and only thought that Guo Shuai could promote them all to important positions afterwards.

"But in less than half a month after the incident, those important positions did change people, but they had nothing to do with them, and they weren't even from our local Liangzhou, and Guo Shuai didn't know where to find outsiders.

And these people are all very capable, so that the original subordinates have no chance to get ahead, which makes them quite dissatisfied.

Although Guo Shuai has always been in charge, these dissatisfaction have always existed until today.

"So I Liangzhou now looks at everything is peaceful, but there are people under the surface of the water who are ready to move and want to replace those people. At present, the Hucao Yamen, who is in charge of the supply of grain and straw in the city, is the place where disputes are most likely to occur. Even the major general is quite concerned about that side. ”

His words were detailed and appropriate, and Sun Ning couldn't help nodding frequently when he heard it.

Obviously, Lao Lu has been paying attention to all kinds of hidden inside affairs in the city, and has been making a series of preparations for Guo Chong's return.

However, while nodding, Sun Ning couldn't help but be a little curious: "How did you grasp the relevant things so clearly?" ”

No matter how you look at it, this person is just an ordinary person, how can he know the situation inside the government like a palm in his hand.

Before Lao Lu could speak, Guo Chong had already explained with a smile: "Because now Lao Lu is already the largest silk merchant in Liangzhou and other Central Plains, and he has already become a guest of those officials, and in the past few years, he can always hear some news." ”

"Oh? Could it be that all those Shu brocades and embroideries in Sichuan and Shu were sold to the Central Plains through you? Sun Ning understood and asked with a smile.

Shu brocade embroidery has always been the focus of Sichuan and Shu foreign trade, even at this time, the best Shu brocade still makes people from all over the world flock to it.

If someone really becomes the general agent of the local Shu brocade, then the business can indeed grow rapidly and become a well-known local wealthy businessman.

Lao Lu nodded: "Yes, thanks to Guo Dashao's promotion of the small ones, I was able to continue trading in Liangzhou, and I also accumulated some assets." As for the murderer who killed my family before, he was also duly punished in the accident of that year! ”

"Hey, that's actually your own ability, I'm just giving you a chance to start over." Guo Chong waved his hand and said, "Also, he contacted us this time in the name of buying those Jiangnan silks on the ship with us, and our current identity is a silk merchant from Jiangnan." ”

Sun Ning also laughed: "It's better to be thoughtful and thoughtful." At present, there is a great opportunity to disrupt Liangzhou. ”

"Yes, not only those middle and low-level officials are dissatisfied with their superiors, but even the major generals actually seem to have complaints, especially this time when he is not in charge of the supply of military rations, he is even more dissatisfied." Lao Lu added, "I heard that he will preside over this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow, I don't know if he will take the opportunity to make trouble then......

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ning and Guo Chong's expressions changed, their eyes already flashed, and they seemed to have made a decision when they looked at each other.
