Chapter 857: Nightfall

At this moment, there is still a distance from the meeting place agreed between the prince of Zhenguo and him.

Qin Fan found an inn outside the north of the town and stayed there, then ordered a few tables of wine and food, and began to wait slowly.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, night fell, and the sky outside the north of the town gradually darkened.

"Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, you are finally here."

At this time, a carriage drove through Zhenbei City and stopped at the gate of Hou Shizi's mansion in Zhenbei, and a middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly ran to the carriage of Hou Shizi in Zhenbei, and bowed his hand.

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei lifted the curtain and revealed his face: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

The middle-aged man was the head of Chen's firm, Chen Dahai.

Chen Dahai said with a smile: "Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, you are too polite, this is what the old slave should do."

Saying that, Chen Dahai welcomed the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei into the mansion.

Qin Fan was in a guest room, listening to the sound of talking and laughing outside, frowning slightly.

The Hou Shizi of Zhenbei took Chen Dahai into the mansion, they must have discussed matters, and Qin Fan was inconvenient to disturb.

However, Qin Fan also wanted to hear what they were talking about.

"Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, look at this matter."

After Chen Dahai entered the main hall, he reported to the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei.

"It's very simple, just take those few people down."

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei waved his hand and said, "Chen Dahai, you immediately go and prepare a thousand catties of iron essence, a hundred silver needles, and two boxes of gold."

"Also. Let them bring all the gold, silver and jewels to this place, and remember, be quick, the sooner the better."

When Chen Dahai heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

After Chen Dahai left, Hou Shizi of Zhenbei turned to look at the room where Qin Fan was, with a sneer on his face.

He had already made up his mind to pay attention, no matter what happened today, he would catch Qin Fan.

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei turned around, looked at the little maid on the side, and asked, "Did you hear any movement?"

"Enlightened prince, there is no unusual sound." The little maid lowered her head and said.

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei nodded and ordered, "Okay, you can retreat."

"Yes." The little maid answered, and bowed out.

After the little maid left, Hou Shizi of Zhenbei sat on a chair and waited.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense passed.

"Knock knock."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei hurriedly stood up, came to the door, and opened the door.

There were two guards standing outside the door, one of the guards was carrying a package in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Hou Shizi of Zhenbei: "Lord Shizi, this is what you want, please accept it."

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei nodded and took the package: "Thank you, you can retreat."

After the two guards left, Hou Shizi of Zhenbei closed the door.

Then he placed the package on the counter in the middle of the room, reached out and opened it, revealing a few silver ingots, some rags, and a pile of clothing and jewelry.

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei took out these things and looked at them carefully for a long time, and finally he shook his head.

"Hey, it seems that this trip has been in vain again."

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei sighed and stuffed those things back into the package.

Then he walked to the door, opened it, locked it, and walked out of the house into the courtyard.

"Chen Dahai."

"The old slave is here." Chen Dahai immediately walked up and asked.

"Shizi, is there anything you call the old slave?"

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei pointed to the pile of things on the ground and asked, "How much do you think this money is worth?"

When Chen Dahai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Lord Shizi, what you said, our two families are trading, why do you ask about money instead?"

"The old slave will tell you the truth, the old slave is also at the end of the road now, if he can have three thousand gold, even if the family is bankrupt, the old slave is willing."

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei smiled, "You are a smart person, you know what I have to say."

"Lord Shizi, the old slave doesn't dare to be greedy for this money, but." Chen Dahai gritted his teeth and said.

"But our lord has been seriously ill recently, and there are too many places to spend money, and if we don't have three thousand gold, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it."

"Three thousand gold?" Hou Shizi of Zhenbei raised his eyebrows: "I can lend it to you."

"Really."

Hearing the answer of the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, Chen Dahai was immediately overjoyed: "Shizi, you have to count when you speak."

"Of course."

Hou Shizi of Zhenbei nodded: "But you have to remember that your master can last for about three months at most."

"By the way, call Qin Fan, the county commander of Wannian County, over, and when the time comes, you will bargain with him again."

"Yes, Lord Shizi." Chen Dahai agreed, but he was thinking in his heart about how to invite that Qin Fan over.

After a cup of tea, Qin Fan heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

Qin Fan stood up, came to the door, and opened the door.

"Qin County Order, there are three thousand gold here, please smile."

Chen Dahai smiled with an old face.

"Is this your master's order?"

Qin Fan glanced at Chen Dahai and asked.

Chen Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The old slave only knows that you asked us to do this, as for whether it was our master's order, the old slave doesn't know."

"And what about your lord?"

"The master is still recuperating." Chen Dahai replied.

Qin Fan frowned, and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll take it first, and you can go back to your life."

"Yes." Chen Dahai agreed, turned around and left.

After Chen Dahai left, Qin Fan closed the door, and then walked to the room to open the package.

He took out some jewelry, put it on the table, looked at it, shook his head, and put the package away.

"Boss Chen, you don't have to worry about this business."

"These three thousand gold should be lent to you by my son, and my son will repay it twice as much in the future."

Qin Fan sneered in his heart, then walked to the table and took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

After eating the pastry, Qin Fan sat on a chair, picked up the book, and flipped through it.

Qin Fan's mind is much more flexible than that of ordinary people, and his learning speed is also very fast.

More than an hour later.

"Knock knock."

There was another knock at the door.

"Who?" Qin Fan asked.

"Lord Shizi, it's an old slave."

Chen Dahai replied, "The old slave has sent you a letter, please sign it yourself."

Qin Fan nodded: "Okay, please come in."

"Squeak."

With a soft sound, Chen Dahai pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lord Shizi, this is the IOU that the old slave wrote for you." Chen Dahai handed a thick piece of paper to Qin Fan.

"Here is an IOU of five thousand gold, and an IOU, and if you need it, we have one thousand two hundred taels of silver."
