Since there was no one to entertain, Sima Liang didn't know the rules very well.

So he got to the side of the chores.

Although there are relatively few people who do trivial things, all of them are very ink. There are a few longitudinal lines next door, and people have changed.

There are three more people in front of Sima Liang's side.

Looking at the two people who were arguing in front of him, he couldn't say anything to stop it. I had to watch the officials mediate between the two.

"There are a lot of scratches and collisions, and there are a lot of docks." Sima Liang sighed.

"Indeed, this was originally under the control of the county government, but it was too frequent, so it was thrown here nearby. Otherwise, it's more troublesome. ”

"Brother Tai, I know a lot about Qingquan Bay."

"Let's not say too much. Most of it is still clear. After all, I've been here for more than 20 years. ”

Sima Liang hit the person in front of him.

He noticed that the other party had thick calluses on his hands, and he looked like a person who had been doing hard work all year round.

Sima Liang knows that this kind of people at the bottom are mixed up, although the news is not as wide as the above, but most of the small things in the area are clear.

And he just needs someone to know what's going on at the docks, so he has a heart to make friends.

"I didn't ask for advice, my brother's name is secret. Can you talk about it alone? ”

Seeing Sima Liang so polite, the eldest brother in front smiled heartily.

"Xianggong, you are so polite to a rough person like me, so naturally we can talk. Today, though, I have some trivia. If you have time someday, just go to Pier 16 and find me. You just have to ask where Lao Zhangtou is, and someone will tell you where I am. ”

"A word is a certainty, he will visit Brother Zhang one day."

"You're welcome."

Knowing more people who might know the situation, Sima Liang was in a better mood.

For the rest of the day, he waited with peace of mind.

Until Brother Zhang in front of Sima Liang, he left after dealing with trivial matters.

He finally faced, the official of the Yamen.

"When?" The official's tone was emotionless.

"I want to see Lord Yan Yi."

"No, you have to say something first. Otherwise, you won't see you. The official's tone is still flat, and it is estimated that people often come to him to find Yan Yi.

Sima Liang was a little difficult when he saw this.

It was not clear to him whether self-reporting would be useful.

After all, I can't see Yan Yi now, if the other party has done it in advance, then Sima Liang is destined to return in vain.

After a little thought, he found a good way.

"In the next excellence, the account office under Lord Yan Wang. Regarding the goods that arrived in Hong Kong two days ago, some were missing. After going to the yamen, Lord Chai asked him to come down and ask Lord Yan for help. ”

Hearing this, the official raised his head and glanced at Sima Liang. Then I thought about it for a while.

"Well, I really can't say for sure. You sit in there first, I'll call someone to invite Lord Yan. ”

"Okay, thank you, sir."

Sima Liang took the opportunity to stuff some silver money to the officials.

Seeing this, the other party nodded and smiled.

"Give Zhuo a good cup of tea, and at the same time inform Lord Yan. It was said that Li Guolai's goods were missing, and Lord Chai hoped that he could help. ”

"Okay."

Sima Liang was run by the Yanei and arranged to the living room.

Subsequently, the other party served him tea and poured water. Then he ran to the back to find Lord Yan.

"Not to mention, the identity of excellence is quite useful. More comfortable than my own feelings. ”

was called Lord Wang all day long, and was suddenly called the account office and the minister, Sima Liang felt a little novel.

He happily picked up the saucer, then opened the lid and sniffed it.

Then Sima Liang's smile froze, and finally his face sank, revealing doubts.

"New tea? Was this thing brought from the last transaction? Or was it there before? ”

Sima Liang was a little nervous by this cup of tea.

He is not to blame, though. After all, when you encounter something familiar in a foreign country, it is inevitable to think too much. Not to mention that he came this time, he also knew some of the situation in the country.

So if he encounters a similar situation in the future, Sima Liang estimates that it will be like this.

After he had drunk some tea, he heard two footsteps.

Is it coming?

Sima Liang didn't know if Yan Yi had attended the banquet.

In order to avoid the other party recognizing themselves. He chose to turn his head away from the direction of the footsteps.

"Lord Yan, this is Zhuo's account room."

"You go down first."

"Okay."

After the errand runner left, Sima Liang slowly turned his head.

Then both men looked stunned.

It was normal for Yan Yi to be surprised, after all, Sima Liang's appearance was indeed unexpected.

But why did Sima Liang do this?

That's because he had seen Yan Yi at the banquet. And when they met, the other party was talking to Qi Lan secretly.

Since it was the home field, Yan Yi quickly recovered.

He hurriedly saluted.

"Lord Yanwang, why are you here? And why did you pretend to be a bookkeeper? ”

Sima Liang put away his doubts and returned to his indifferent appearance.

"I kept a low profile, so I borrowed the name of excellence. Could it be that you don't want to see me? ”

"What the hell is there?" Yan Yi smiled innocently, unable to distinguish the truth. Idea.

Sure enough, it's a human spirit. Sima Liang scolded secretly.

He gestured to the position next to him.

"Lord Yan, sit down and talk slowly."

"It's Lord Yanwang."

Yan Yi sat down neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then looked at Sima Liang with a smile.

Being stared at like this, Sima Liang was a little hairy.

"Now that Lord Yan has seen me, you should know what I am asking for. Can you help me? ”

Yan Yi pretended to be thinking.

Lord Yan Wang laughed. You take the initiative to find it. How can you know what you think? ”

It's so round and smooth. Sima Liang scolded secretly.

Yan Yi's behavior made him very unhappy. But the other party pretended to be stupid, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Sima Liang thought for a moment. Then the subject was changed.

"Lord Yan, where did this new tea come from? This thing is very expensive in the capital of Li, and the price of Qi Guo wants to increase several times. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yi's expression changed quickly. Then he smiled.

"Lord Yanwang, this is the last time, you came to send it. Yan doesn't like tea, and he doesn't want to transfer it, so he uses it to entertain people. ”

Sima Liang showed a look of enlightenment.

"That's right. Who is it, can you tell me? ”

"Rongyang, Rong-sama."

Hearing this name, Sima Liang's gaze locked on Yan Yi's eyes.

Then he laughed heartily.

Hahaha.

"I see. I see. Then I get it. ”

Sima Liang's brainless behavior made Yan Yi a little dumbfounded.

"Lord Yanwang, why is this?"

Sima Liang didn't answer in a hurry, but took a sip of tea first. Then he looked at Yan Yi.

"The Rong family collaborated with bandits, and participated in the Li Guo smuggling salt case. At the same time, the resold illicit salt is flowing to the country. And you should know the inside story when you manage the import and export of ships and goods. ”

"Lord Yanwang, what are you talking about? How did this become known below? You can't talk nonsense. This is passed out, how can I say it clearly. Is there any evidence for this? You can't just cheat out of thin air. ”
