Chapter 58: The Great Nephew and Thief, What a Deal?
"I think I've seen you." She said.
Such an old-fashioned pick-up?
Li Huai has always lived in Luoyang, this should be the first time to come to Taiyuan County, how could anyone know him.
She shouldn't have seen the good looks of this king, so she deliberately came over to talk.
Li Huai happened to be about to inquire about the news, so he said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, you might as well sit down." ”
"Okay."
You're really welcome, just sat down.
She propped up her head and looked at Li Huai and asked, "What's your name?" Although I have seen you, I can't remember it. ”
Li Huai smiled, "Why do you have to know each other when you meet." ”
"My name is Nightingale, and I'm from Zhao Wangfu, so now we know each other." She reported her name directly.
Nightingale?
The people of Zhao Wangfu!
It's a no-brainer.
"Nightingale girl, come, tea." Li Huailian poured a cup of tea.
"They usually call me Childe, if you don't see the outside, you can call me that." Li Huai continued.
Nightingale took a sip of tea and asked, "Childe, you're not a local, are you?" ”
Li Huai shook his head, "No." ”
"What are you doing in Taiyuan County? Trade? No, it's closed in the winter, who will come to do business in the winter. ”
The nightingale is really as good as its name, like a warbler, and her mouth does not stop, how can there be such a person in Zhao Wangfu.
Li Huai also asked curiously: "You are from Zhao Wangfu, why did you come here?" ”
"No!"
The nightingale pointed in the direction that Li Huai had just pointed, where there was a large group of people, who were chiseling ice and storing it in the ice cellar to be taken out and used in the summer heat.
Li Huai had noticed it before, and he was a little puzzled, "The water of the Yellow River contains sediment, what is the use of this ice?" ”
Nightingale sighed, "There is no way, there are not many rivers in Taiyuan County, and most of them are polluted by black stones, there is very little clean ice, only enough for food, and then the ice on the Yellow River is used for ice tea, melons and fruits, which is barely enough." ”
"Even the Zhao Wangfu is the same?" Li Huai asked curiously, with Li Lufu's character, how could he endure dirty ice.
"It's different, the palace can only adapt to the time of day." Nightingale said.
Speaking of Blackstone.
Li Huai asked tentatively, "Is the black stone really useless at all?" ”
His only bargaining chip was coal.
If someone in Taiyuan County started mining and burning coal, he would not have any conditions to negotiate with Li Lufu again.
"That's not completely useless, when the prince catches the villain, he will grab a handful of black stones and stuff them into the villain's mouth." Nightingale said with a smile.
Li Huaixin mentioned his throat, and after listening to her words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is not too late.
"So, what the hell are you here for?" Nightingale asked again.
Li Huai smiled, "When my son came to Taiyuan County, he really wanted to talk about a business, a big business. ”
Nightingale's eyes were full of surprise, and she said, "It's really strange, there are still people doing business in winter, how big a business?" ”
"Big, big!" Li Huai can't say it now, only after seeing Li Lufu, he has a certain degree of certainty.
He can tell.
Li Huai also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the grain situation in Taiyuan again.
The nightingale then put down the tea bowl.
"It's broken, it's broken, it's almost bad to patronize and chat with you."
After speaking.
She left in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"What kind of people does Zhao Wangfu raise, she should be a maid, she is so bold, she is close to it." Li Xin muttered.
Li Huai couldn't figure it out.
Loft private room.
"Lord Shangguan, I went to ask, he refused to say his name, it was indeed not local, he said that he was here to do business, a big business, and asked me if the black stone was useful."
The nightingale, who had just had tea with Li Huai, was standing respectfully behind a woman at the moment, reporting the content of the conversation just now.
"Hmm!"
This Lord Shangguan, after listening to it, just nodded lightly.
"Lord Shangguan, the slave maid took the liberty of asking, did you let the slave and maid go to investigate, did you find anything different about him?" Nightingale asked cautiously.
"It's very different."
This time, Lord Shangguan said three words.
"And."
The nightingale remembered something and said, "The slave and maid looked at him closely, and thought he was very familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen it." ”
"Forget!"
Lord Shangguan's tone suddenly became cold.
The nightingale shuddered and nodded hurriedly, "Obey!" ”
"I've had enough ice, let's go back." After Lord Shangguan finished speaking, he went downstairs.
Everyone saw this figure, especially the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix on her clothes.
They all bowed their heads.
No one dared to look at it directly.
Now.
Li Huai and the others had already left, so they didn't see this scene.
"Liang King Li Huai, why did you come to Taiyuan? I have to inform King Zhao quickly. ”
……
Finally.
At the moment before Yongning City closed the city gate, Li Huai and others entered the city, first found a restaurant, ate a full stomach, and rested for the night.
Following!
Li Huai didn't rush to King Zhao's mansion, just wandered around the streets.
Although Yongning is only a county-level city, its economy is extremely prosperous, and it is closed in winter.
I have even started buying and selling New Year's goods.
If you compare Jiuyuan with Yongning, the main city of Jiuyuan seems to have become a slum!
Came to a grain store.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect grain?"
"Collect, how can there be anyone who does not collect grain, how many do you have?"
"A lot, a lot, depending on what price you can afford."
"That's ...... The eight texts that have been shelled, and the five texts that have not been shelled. ”
"Didn't come out of the shell, Shiwen!"
"Get out!"
Every time Li Huai went to a grain store, he would ask like this, and every time he was kicked out.
"Childe, what are we doing here?" Li Xin didn't understand at all, they were here to buy grain, why did the prince want to sell grain.
"Understand the market."
Li Huai explained casually, saying too much, and he couldn't understand it.
Through this half-day inquiry and visit, it can be learned that the grain price in Yongning is very stable, and each grain store has enough grain in stock.
This proves that Yongning is not short of food.
Next.
He can try to contact Li Lufu, but he still has to make careful arrangements, so that he can't see that he is in a hurry.
I can't let him know that Jiuyuan County doesn't even have enough food to grow.
Everything has to be natural.
It's a headache.
Li Huai, a Liang King, appeared in Taiyuan County, no matter how you explain it, it seems unnatural.
What's more, he came without even saying hello.
Then.
"Big nephew, what kind of deal!" A wild voice sounded behind Li Huai, and when you heard this voice, you knew who it was.
How was it discovered!
Li Huai hurriedly sorted out his expression, turned around, and said with a smile: "Sixth uncle, I really miss you!" ”
"You want your sixth uncle to die." Li Lufu stared at him with a pair of small eyes and a little evil smile.
"Sixth uncle, it's funny, the last time I went to Liangzhou, I was supposed to go to Taiyuan, and I came to see you by the way, but I really missed my aunt too much, so I changed my course, and I didn't make a special trip to make amends." Li Huai said awkwardly.
Li Lufu also smiled.
Laughing.
"Someone!"
He pulled the flesh on his face, "Chew the black stone in this kid's mouth, there is no half of the truth, Lao Tzu hates that someone is cheating in front of Lao Tzu." ”
Li Lufu's guards with knives, without saying a word, came up to capture Li Huai, and Li Xin blocked in front of Li Huai.
"Sixth uncle, so faceless?" Li Huai put away his smirk, and his face became solemn.
Li Lufu snorted coldly, and the fat on his stomach was beating, "This is Lao Tzu's territory, not your Lao Tzu's territory, Lao Tzu bullied you, what can you do with Lao Tzu." ”
This has to remind people that in front of the palace back then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whipped Li Lufu with a hundred whips.
The atmosphere is more solemn.
Syllable!
Li Huai clenched his fists, "Sixth uncle, I was wrong, I shouldn't lie to you, I did have something to do when I came to Taiyuan." ”
Kicked Li Xin by the way, making him dodge.
Li Lufu put his hands behind his back, the anger on his face did not disappear at all, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of Taiyuan, Lao Tzu doesn't want to see you, Lao Tzu will think of you when he sees you." ”
"Sixth uncle, give me a chance, nephew...... I'm here to give gifts, I can help Uncle Sixth solve the black stone and turn the useless black stone into a treasure. ”
Li Huai couldn't hide it anymore.
Li Lufu's character is clear to him, and he does what he says, if he doesn't say a word to his heart.
Probably the next second.
Li Lufu was about to tie him to the back of the horse and drag him out of Yongning City directly.
"If you can't do it, I'll stuff the black stone in your mouth!" Li Lufu said fiercely, giving him a chance.
