The sixth day after the first day of the first day.

Upper County!

In the cold winter, compared to Xianyang, the farther you go north, the colder the weather becomes.

Fortunately, whether it is Bai Yan or the New Year, they have been prepared for a long time, and they are all wrapped in thick clothes.

Along the way, the rolling mountains and rivers made Bai Yan realize that the journey to Gaonu took longer than expected.

Fortunately, despite the hardships along the way, he still came to Gaonu City safely and soundly.

City gates.

Several Qin officials were holding Changge, checking the people entering and leaving, as Gao Nu, one of the three major cities in Shangjun, both the flow of people and the population in the city were extremely huge.

The most important reason why it can become one of the three major cities is that the merchants of the Qin State and the Xiongnu traded with the Xiongnu, and the Yue clan were all in Gaonu.

Qin's medicinal materials, tea, and even a series of necessities such as salt mines were needed by the Xiongnu, and for safety, the merchants of Qin would not be stupid enough to pull the goods directly to the grassland.

From ancient times to the present, those merchants who are bold and dare to pull goods to the grassland basically do not have a good death, and they will be directly killed and robbed by the Huns after a certain transaction.

After all, in the steppe, the Huns don't care whether you live or die, you can kill if you want.

In the eyes of the Huns, don't say that you are a businessman, that is, an envoy and a son, the Huns dare to kill.

"Stop!"

A Qin official saw Bai Yan who was leading the horse forward and spoke.

Like several other Qin officials, this Qin official was also very young, all of them were soldiers, and after training in the military camp, they were sent to Gaonu to garrison here.

At this time, Bai Yan took out the wooden card and the city seal from his arms.

The young Qin pawn stepped forward, and when he saw Bai Yan's wooden sign and the city seal hanging there, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Meet the Castle Guard!"

Qin Zu hurriedly bowed his hand.

Several other Qin soldiers originally didn't know why, but when they saw the seal in Bai Yan's hand, they immediately thought of something the next moment.

"Meet the Castle Guard!"

"Meet the Castle Guard!"

A Qin official didn't care about interrogation, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed.

This moment.

Originally, the other people who came in and out all looked at the young Bai Yan with a stunned expression, and on the several carriages that had not yet been checked, the businessmen who heard the movement all lifted the curtains and came out sideways to watch.

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that this city guard seal would cause such a big movement.

Feng Nian on the side looked at this scene, smacked his tongue again and again, and looked at Bai Yan with admiration.

When he was in the Wei Kingdom, Bai Yan was still sleeping under the eaves of others, just as depressed as him, but now he is holding a city seal.

Seeing Bai Yan enter, Feng Nian came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

Inside the city.

Bai Yan led the horse and looked at the streets in the city, many Hun traders and Qin traders, the furs that were hard to find in Xianyang City were all seen in the hands of Hun dealers here.

"How much does this cost?"

Bai Yan led the war horse to a vendor, squatted down, and held a silver-gray wolf skin.

And yet the next moment.

The Hun merchant said something in a hurry, Bai Yan's eyes narrowed, and his expression suddenly fell.

Because he found that he could not understand what the Huns were saying at all.

"But you want to buy wolf skins? I can understand the Huns, give me two money, no, three money, and I'll help you communicate with this Hun dealer?

At this time, a child about ten years old came to Bai Yan's side and said to Bai Yan.

And maybe it was because Bai Yan was holding a wolf skin, and the child also knew about the temporary price increase.

"Can you understand the Hun dialect?"

Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard the child's words.

It's a bit powerful to understand the words of the Huns at such a young age!

"Three money!"

When the child heard Bai Yan's words, the expression on his face was full of pride, obviously he was very useful when he heard Bai Yan's words.

However, the next moment, Bai Yan's words made the child's face completely praised.

"Are those children as good as you, they can understand the Huns?"

Bai Yan pointed to a few children in the distance.

"They don't understand!"

The child tried his best to answer Bai Yan calmly, but his weak eyes and lack of the arrogant tone just now were obviously telling Bai Yan that he was lying.

"Half a penny! If you help me negotiate with the Huns, I'll give you half a penny, and if not, I'll go find the children. ”

Bai Yan said with a smile.

After Bai Yan's voice fell, the child and Feng Nian were not calm.

Feng Nian looked at Bai Yan incomprehensibly, because even half a penny was not a small amount.

The child had never seen Bai Yan bargain like this, he cut directly from five yuan to half a dollar, he had never seen that person, so he gave so much less at once.

"One penny, it can't be less, you go to them, it's also a penny!"

The child looked at Bai Yan and said.

This time, the child's expression and gaze obviously did not seem to be lying, and even the anxious little eyes were a little red.

Next to the vendors.

Bai Yanfang planned to bargain, then took the wooden sign out and told the child that he could find someone to come even if he didn't spend money, and planned to let the child think carefully about whether he wanted half a penny.

But seeing the child's earnest eyes and eager gaze, Bai Yan finally nodded.

"Okay! I'll give you a penny! ”

Under Feng Nian's incomprehensible gaze, Bai Yan took out a piece of money from his arms and handed it to the child.

Just now.

Bai Yan saw his former self in the child, and he was like this at that time.

And he also observed that there are many children here, but many Qin merchants have servants who understand Xiongnu dialect.

A moment later.

With the help of children, Bai Yan successfully spent less than one-tenth of the money in Xianyang to successfully buy fur.

After holding the fur, Bai Yan couldn't help but complain that the merchants of the Qin State really ate people and didn't spit out bones.

The merchants of the Emotional Qin State raised the price tenfold or even higher.

After saying goodbye to the child.

Bai Yan was about to lead his horse and walked towards the City Guard Mansion.

At this time.

"I heard that Lord Lu was killed, but the murderer has not been found so far, and I heard that it was killed by the Huns, but I don't know if it's true."

"No, I heard that Lord Lu has already resigned and returned to his hometown, and he never thought of such a thing."

"It's a pity, Lord Lu's family, all of them were killed."

Accompanied by the sound of several pedestrians walking and talking.

When Bai Yan heard this, he was a little puzzled, and then turned his head to look at the child.

"Do you know what they said?"

Bai Yan asked.

When the child heard this, he instinctively opened his mouth to withdraw money, but for some reason, when he saw the young Bai Yan, he thought about it slightly and frowned at this moment, and finally did not say anything about money.

"Lord Lu, the city commander who has just been transferred to Gaonu County not long ago, heard that he planned to resign and return to his hometown, but half a month ago, suddenly all the old and young people were killed, and the murderer has not been found, the county guard Yang Xian, the supervisor Li Pingyan, and the county lieutenant Hu Jin are all here."

The child told all the things that caused a sensation in the whole high slave.

When Bai Yan heard this, he was a little puzzled.

"Do you know how big that Lord Lu is?"

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the child.

The child thought for a while, looked at Bai Yan, and said with some uncertainty: "I heard that it is half a hundred, and some people say forty." ”

Bai Yan looked pensive.

Whether it is half a hundred or forty, they are far from the age of resignation.

Not only the Qin State, but also other countries, seventy or eighty years old, still in a high position of ministers, is not nothing.

Why did Lord Lu resign, and after resigning, the whole family was killed.

"Do you know where Lord Lu's mansion is?"

Bai Yan looked at the child, holding the fur in one hand and taking out two coins from his arms in the other.

Hu Jin, who made meritorious contributions in the First War of the Korean Revolution, has now been promoted to the left watch, and his position has also been promoted to the rank of county lieutenant.

In the official system of the Qin State, the county lieutenant: in charge of the county garrison, in charge of public security.

At present, Hu Jin has just been promoted to county lieutenant, and he encountered Lord Lu being killed, if the murderer cannot be found, this matter will definitely become a stumbling block to Hu Jin's promotion in the future, and the political opponent will talk about it.

Right now, since he happened to come to Gaonu, although it has not yet reached the date of taking office, if he can, he doesn't mind returning Hu Jin's favor to see if he can help Hu Jin solve this case.

It's too late for one more, readers, I'll be the first to do more!
