Zhang Biao came interested and took a closer look.

I don't know how many years have passed on this map, even if it is sealed inside the wooden screen, it has become yellow and mottled.

He noticed that Gong Zhengfang still existed on the northeast side of the city, and that area had been demolished two hundred years ago to build the Vientiane Palace.

It shows that this map is at least two hundred years old.

What attracted him more were some dotted lines.

Criss-crossed, almost through the entire Yujing City, vaguely forming a nine-palace map, and there are red and blue lines in the center, describing the outline of the small city.

This is......

Zhang Biao's eyes lit up and he remembered an old thing.

In the past, Yujing City, known as Tusu in ancient times, was the eastern capital of the great cause of the previous dynasty, and was destroyed in the war during the rebellion of the feudal town.

Emperor Zhao Yan of Liang Wu was surrounded here, dug countless tunnels, went deep into the ground for ten zhang, and connected with the ancient mine pit, intricately called, called Bagua Trapped Soul Array.

With this formation, Emperor Wu used 50,000 soldiers and horses and grain and grass stored in advance to fight against the feudal town coalition for several months, and dragged it until the reinforcements arrived.

It was night, the moonlight was blazing, there were reinforcements outside, and there was the elusive and emerging Liang army inside, which defeated the coalition army of the feudal town in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as the battle for the founding of the country.

Yujing City was built, and the entrance to the tunnel was all filled, but it was later dug up without permission, and it was also involved in a major rebellion case, and many people in the rivers and lakes participated in it.

It was a bloody time, and many martial arts sects that participated in the rebellion were exterminated, and the Six Gates were established.

There is no record of this incident in the history books, and if it wasn't for the drunken old man in the door mentioning it, he wouldn't know about it at all.

Could it be that this is the road map?

Zhang Biao was thoughtful, his spiritual eye moved, and suddenly a stream of information poured in:

Yujing City Yutu (Fan)

1. The old map, which is old and old, the paper is rough, and it is hidden after being drawn in a hurry.

2. Marked with forgotten underground passages, as well as mines and ruins of older ages.

3. This map, hidden by people with intentions, erased from history, and countless people died because of it, which makes people can't help but think of the secrets hidden in it......

Secret?

Zhang Biao lost interest when he saw it.

If the aura revives today, the secret of rebellion is not worth mentioning at all.

Is...... Another five taels were wasted.

Zhang Biao inexplicably remembered the lost horse, and the deposit of ten taels was paid to others, could it be that he had no luck recently?

Thinking of this, he was no longer interested in running to Jixian Fang, picking up this kind of thing, it was too lucky.

You have to think of a safe way to get money.

And now it's too late, the news of the accident in the origin of the medicinal herbs will soon spread, and even if you get the money, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it if you want to.

You have to get money to stock up today.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao gritted his teeth, got up and went out, and headed towards the nearby Zhaoguofang.

…………

Zhaoguofang, adjacent to Anzhenfang.

However, compared to Anzhenfang, where civilians gather, the people here are obviously much richer, and the roads in the workshop are also very neat.

There is no him, just because there is a Jokhang Temple here.

This temple was established by the Buddhist Lotus Sect three hundred years ago, and it was originally a sycophant of the Liang Liang of the Gang Dynasty, and the Zhao Kingdom also means that the country is strong.

However, at the time of Emperor Jing, there was a movement to destroy the Buddha, and the Lianhua Sect disappeared, and later the movement to destroy the Buddha ended, and a group of monks from the Wuxiang Sect took over the place and renovated it.

These monks are very rich.

The residents of the fang, first, can rent houses for good believers to live, and secondly, they can take over the chores such as repairing houses in Zhaoguo Temple, and they can live quite comfortably.

Zhang Biao came here to borrow money from the Xiangji Kitchen.

As long as the news of the accident in the origin of the medicinal materials is true, he can make a small profit, and after paying back the money, he can also hoard a batch of medicinal materials.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the temple bell.

At this time, it was past noon, and there were still pilgrims, Zhang Biao was not familiar with this temple, but he knew the routines of these monks, and directly found the monk who knew the guest, showed his waist card, and explained his intentions.

"It turned out to be the headcatcher of the six doors..."

Zhaoguo Temple is in charge of the Xiangji Kitchen, a person named Fashan Prison, wide and fat, with a kind face and good eyes, after checking his identity, he smiled and said: "Don't blame Zhang Zhutou, although you are a public person, but a thousand taels of silver is not a decimal, always ask the reason." ”

Zhang Biao was not surprised to see this.

Temples around the country lend money, from spring to autumn, the interest of the people is fifty percent, and the public benefit is thirty percent.

That is to say, one hundred taels of silver, from spring plowing to autumn harvest, must be repaid one hundred and fifty taels, a proper usury.

That's it, the people are still grateful.

Because Jingzhao Mansion also lent, and the interest was doubled, the people borrowed 100 taels, and from spring to autumn, they had to repay 200 taels, and the people of the public gate did not give a discount.

As for the money in the Xiang Ji Kitchen, except for the monks' own, most of them are deposited by officials of all sizes in the capital, and interest is paid on a monthly basis.

This is the reason why many petty officials in Beijing can live a nourishing life because they are meager, and it is also the way for the temple to survive.

In the same way, the monks are not afraid that you will not pay back the money you owe, because if you sue Jingzhao Mansion, the bad people will be arrested overnight and receive a reward.

Zhang Biao was silent for a moment, "I can't hide it, I want to do some medicinal material business, but I lack capital." ”

Monk Fashan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Zhang Zhutou wants to stock up on medicine, buy low and sell high, and it's too late." ”

"Yesterday night, many people came to withdraw the deposited silver, and even borrowed several times, I am afraid that now not only Anrenfang, but even those outside the city medicine merchant inventory have also been taken..."

The corners of Zhang Biao's eyes twitched, "Moving so fast?" ”

Fa Shan smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but he heard a knock on the door of the tea room, accompanied by an anxious voice, "Prison, something happened in the back hall..."

When Fashan heard this, his eyes changed slightly, but he still smiled and said to Zhang Biao: "Zhang Zhutou, please wait a while, let the poor monk deal with some miscellaneous things." ”

Zhang Biao pretended to be absent-minded and nodded, "The master is busy first, and then wait." ”

Fa Shan clasped his hands together and left in a hurry, not forgetting to close the door smoothly.

As soon as he went out, Zhang Biao dodged, stuck to the door, and listened.

"Prison, those people..."

"Shut up!"

With a reprimand, the footsteps quickly faded away.

Zhang Biao shook his head, came to the table and sat down, holding the teacup thoughtfully.

The matter of medicinal herbs, I guess don't think about it.

The Great Liang Dynasty has developed for three hundred years, and the large and small forces are intertwined, and it is even more difficult for him, a small catcher, to snatch meat from these people's mouths.

It seems that there is only another way.

Also, Huo Feng asked him to pay attention to the movements of several nearby Taoist temples, especially the Jianghu monks who were placing orders.

Originally, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, but it was really strange to look at it, if something happened in his jurisdiction, Huo Feng's official fan would definitely trouble him.

Well, I'm going to find out tonight.

After making up his mind, Zhang Biao didn't continue to wait, said a word to the monk of the guest, and got up to leave Zhaoguo Temple...

…………

"Xiao San... Xiao San..."

In the alley, Yu Ziqing was thoughtful.

The Senior Brother Yang of Tiandimen only talked about his physiognomy and characteristics, and asked him not to inquire more, just pay attention to whether he is haunted in Jixian Fang.

But Yu Ziqing felt that the name was a little familiar.

"It's that guy!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he remembered something, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the dog slave of the Li Mansion!" ”

His eyes were cloudy, and he walked around the alley, "A dead man... That's right! ”

"I heard that Xiao San committed murder on the street, and was arrested and beheaded by the Criminal Department, hum, every dog slave has to be protected, it is really the style of the Li Mansion."

"Someone wants to do something against this Xiao San, or is it going to set up a bureau against the Li Mansion?"

Thinking of this, his eyes became fierce, "Dad, our family's enmity, maybe we can avenge it in advance..."

With that, he hurried back to his home, came to the humble desk, spread out the straw paper, splashed ink, and sketched a portrait according to the memories in his mind.

Lion nose, broken eyebrows, triangular eyes... If Zhang Biao is there, you will find that this portrait is exactly the same as Xiao San.

After a while, Yu Ziqing put down his pen and ink and snorted coldly: "The "Picture Book" says that the lion's nose is the appearance of wealth and nobility, but there is also a distinction between virtual and real, broken eyebrows and triangular eyes, vicious and insidious, even if it is a momentary scenery, it is all false wealth. ”

"Xiao San's report is inevitable, if he can introduce the disaster water into the Li Mansion...... Let's find someone first. ”

Thinking of this, he blew dry the ink, folded the portrait, took it into his arms, and hurried out the door.

The order of Senior Brother Yang of the Heaven and Earth Gate was to ask him to pay attention to Jixian Fang, but Yu Ziqing knew that in this kind of place where the fragrance of books gathered, people like Xiao San would not come at all.

His father was a speech official, and he was imprisoned and died tragically because he reprimanded Li Fu for bending the law in court, and his family was in the middle of the road.

And he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows how these rich and noble families are intrigued.

Xiao San is the nephew of the Li Mansion's housekeeper, but he is a slave after all, and the Li Mansion wants to protect him, unless Xiao San becomes valuable.

What is the value of a dead man?

Of course, to do things that are not visible!

Yu Ziqing's mind was racing rapidly, and he hurriedly ran towards Guangfufang near Jixian Fang.

He knew that Senior Brother Yang must have gone to assign tasks to the newcomers there.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Senior Brother Yang dressed as a man coming out of the alley.

After seeing him, Senior Brother Yang's eyes were slightly cold, and without saying a word, he turned his head and entered the dark alley.

Yu Ziqing hurriedly chased after him, but when he entered the alley, Senior Brother Yang suddenly flashed out, stared at his palms as claws, pressed his Adam's apple against the wall, and said viciously: "Don't you understand the rules, dare to follow me!" ”

"Senior brother, wait..."

Yu Ziqing's face turned red, and he said with difficulty: "I have a way...... Find Xiao San..."

"Oh?"

Senior Brother Yang let go of his hand slightly, his eyes became dangerous, and he sneered: "You are a clever person, you know that the opportunity is not easy, but if you want to get on the top, it is useless to just talk about it." ”

Yu Ziqing bent over and coughed a few times, panting, his eyes were firm, "I am willing to set up a military order, and within three days, I will definitely find someone!" ”
