Dock.

At this time, the sun is setting.

Zhang Yong looked at his watch, it was almost seven o'clock. Soon it was dark.

It's the sixth month of the solar calendar, and the days are long and the nights are short.

However, at this moment, Yangzhou has another bustle.

All kinds of lanterns are quietly lit. The banks of the canal are decorated as if they were Lantern Festival.

"Yang Zhi."

"Here."

"What time is it?"

"June 5th of the solar calendar."

"June, ......"

Zhang Yong looked around curiously.

There don't seem to be many festivals in June. Is it the Dragon Boat Festival?

That's not right......

"Shaolong, do you feel strange?" Chen Shutong interjected with a smile.

"It felt beautiful. Haven't seen it anywhere else. Zhang Yong told the truth. Eyes dripping to enjoy the view.

Actually, he is a very boring person. This has been the case in previous lives and in this life.

I don't have any hobbies. I don't have any skills.

I'm not keen on tourism either. Likes to snuggle up at home.

In June, as long as there is air conditioning, mobile phones, computers, and the Internet......

Everything else is optional.

It's not that I don't want to It's no money. Not capable of doing anything else.

So, after coming to this world, I tried my best to make money.

There is money to everything......

But I didn't expect that when I came to Yangzhou this time, I could enjoy such a beautiful scenery.

Lots of money signs. Dense. A feast for the eyes.

Switch to the gold sign. There are actually quite a few of them.

Wow, it seems that Yangzhou is richer than Hangzhou?

"There are a lot of rich people here."

"Oh?"

"Lianghuai salt merchant, Yangzhou thin horse, you don't know, right?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yong licked his lips subconsciously.

All sorts of information flooded into my mind. I know that I may be in a cornucopia.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March. Why next? Isn't it because of the sound of dogs and horses here? The salt merchants in Yangzhou are too rich, so they have developed a lot of interesting entertainment projects. And for these salt merchants, as well as the officials in charge of salt administration, there is the famous Yangzhou thin horse......

"It's not as prosperous as it used to be. However, the heritage is still there. Chen Shutong said intentionally or unintentionally, "There are eight major businesses in Yangzhou City, all of whom are worth tens of millions of ......."

"Wait." Zhang Yong interjected, "What kind of unit are you talking about?" ”

"Silver. Two. ”

"That's tens of millions of silver dollars?"

"Pretty much."

"Oh."

Zhang Yong's face was expressionless.

He didn't find it strange.

Because this is Yangzhou! The prototype of Dream of Red Mansions.

How extravagant is the Dream of Red Mansions, the real Yangzhou is ten times more extravagant than it.

In Tianjin Wei, the homes of several big traitors can copy out tens of millions of silver dollars. What's more, it is Yangzhou, which has a deep heritage?

I couldn't help but start to make a bad idea......

Empty-handed back into Baoshan? That's absolutely impossible......

The wind has left traces, and the geese have plucked their feathers......

But wherever he Zhang Yong has come, he must scrape the ground......

"Look at this street."

"What?"

"In the past, this street was the property of the Tao family."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yong held up the binoculars.

Good fellows, a street! So long. There are shops on both sides.

They used to be salt merchants, but now they are all big landlords. Keep up with the times. Looking at the flow of people and the endless stream, you know that the business is definitely not bad.

Well, remember.

However, get down to business first. I'll talk about it when I have time.

"Over there."

The nightingale is responsible for leading the way.

She is actually quite familiar with Yangzhou.

Zhang Yong was deeply suspicious that Tegaoke also had a den in Yangzhou.

Fang Muyu's "hometown" seems to be Yangzhou......

In other words, these Japanese spies really have a deep understanding of Chinese culture. I am also quite familiar with many cities. Coastal cities have Japanese spies infiltrated. Some of them are far inland. The Iga New Year is. They all ran to the side of the river. 108,000 miles from the coast.

Since Japanese spies haunt Chengdu and Chongqing, it is estimated that there are also in Kunming and other places in the southwest. Not to mention Central China and South China. To put it mildly, it's really full of Japanese spies. I can't finish it. However, it also means that it is a long-term and stable income.

If you don't have money, you can catch Japanese spies, you can ensure daily expenses, ensure the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of your subordinates, and not starve to death......

"It should be nearby."

"Okay."

Zhang Yong silently monitored the map.

By this time, it was completely dark. The streets are brightly lit and crowded with people.

After all, it was the most prosperous city in the world back then!

Lianghuai Salt Merchant ......

Yangzhou Skinny Horse ......

Densely packed with money signs, I feel that the entire Yangzhou City is full of money!

After switching to the gold logo, the number is still quite large. The nearest is only a few tens of meters, and it seems that you can see it in a few steps.

Secretly resentful......

That money sign is really useless. Dense, it's better not to have a ......

Within a radius of 550 meters, there are hundreds of money symbols. It's numb.

Suddenly......

System information is swept by, and the money sign is canceled.

Zhang Yong: ......

No, I'm just whining. Don't really cancel!

However, it didn't work. The system has been canceled. It is estimated that they also feel that the money symbol is too overflowing, and it is impossible to identify the real target. It's better to have than nothing.

"Halo ......"

Zhang Yong had no choice but to accept the reality.

Never mind. Just keep the gold logo. The map has indeed become a lot more refreshing.

I also met many beautiful girls on the way.

It's a pity that I don't have time to mess with flowers and grass for the time being.

He's here to do the dirty work. Do things in the dark. Ordinary people will not know at all.

Even if there is a gunshot, there is an explosion, it will be interpreted as the sound of firecrackers.

Walk silently with the team. Take the back alleys.

The map is dotted with gold symbols, as well as weapon symbols. But there is no intensive.

Zhang Yong speculated that since it was a den of Japanese spies, there must be a lot of weapons.

As for whether there is gold or not, it is not clear. Probably not.

Scattered and scattered, there are a few red dots. It is very likely that it is a Japanese spy.

When you're done with business, you'll clean them up.

Suddenly, a red dot enters the edge of the map. It also carries the gold logo.

Hey?

Japanese spy? Got gold on your body?

Zhang Yong hurriedly judged the surrounding situation, and then raised the telescope.

It was very surprising. It's actually an acquaintance again.

I haven't seen that in a long time.

Who? Yoon Tae-seok.

Look closely, that's right, it's indeed Yoon Tae-seok.

He has marked.

The guy drove a black Stippunk. Hey. It's Stippunk again.

Stippunk stopped in front of a restaurant. Yoon Tae-seok got out of the car. Sure enough, it was him. The look hasn't changed much from before. Carrying a briefcase.

There's a good show.

Zhang Yong's mind immediately became active.

If you want to do something in a Japanese spy den, you can do it in the middle of the night.

Now, let's get this Yoon Tae-seok first. This guy is a first-class local tyrant. There is definitely oil and water.

Map hint that the briefcase has a gold logo.

However, there are no red dots in the restaurant.

What did he come to do?

Do you have a joint with a person?

Just right. Clean sweep. Then the briefcase was confiscated.

Ha ha.

Perfect.

Every time he goes out, if he doesn't make some extra money, Zhang Yong feels that he has lost a lot. This time was no exception.

Since it has been encountered, it must be squeezed out of the stone.

Immediately waved his hand and arranged for the arrest.

He himself quietly approached the restaurant and took a closer look.

The one who found the connection with Yoon Tae-seok was not an ordinary person. It's a chubby middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was wearing a fine silk gown and looked very rich. Next to it was a dark ink-colored walking stick. It seems to be a precious thing.

It seems that there are two iron galls in your hands? It seems like yes. Silvery-white. Round.

Next to the crutches, there is a rattan box.

There is no gold mark.

Regret it, you shouldn't have canceled the money sign!

If there is a money mark, at least you can accurately tell if there is money in the rattan box.

Now it's okay, you can only guess.

Outside the restaurant, there were more than a dozen bodyguards. Three of the bodyguards were still armed.

"It's Shengong Leopard......" Nightingale said suddenly.

"Who?" Zhang Yong was stunned.

I thought I had misheard.

The gods have all come out?

"Shen Zhongyu, nicknamed Shen Gongbao."

"What?"

"The third elder of the Shen family. When he was young, he used to be the champion of martial arts in the Lianghuai region. ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Yong silently counted the time.

From the fall of the Qing Dynasty to the present, it seems to be more than 20 years.

"The Shen family, one of the eight major merchants."

"Oh......"

Zhang Yong observed silently.

The Shen family and Yoon Tae-seok are secretly in contact, what are they going to do?

It was found that Shin Gongbao pushed the rattan crate to Yoon Tae-seok's feet.

Yoon Tae-seok picked up the rattan box. Carry it in your hand. Weigh and weigh. Then put it down.

Subsequently, the two had a good conversation.

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

Oh, is that a successful deal?

What kind of deal did the Shin family and Yoon Tae-seok make?

Do they know that Yoon Tae-seok is a Japanese spy? I don't think so. If you know, you are a traitor.

Although Zhang Yong is greedy for money. But you will not do anything that harms the good.

If the Shen family was simply deceived, of course there was no sin. However, if you know that Yoon Tae-seok is a Japanese spy and is still dealing with Yoon Tae-suk, it will be a bit of a problem.

Sit tight.

Yoon Tae-seok will definitely leave.

And then......

Block him on the road.

Another red dot appears at the edge of the map.

There are weapon markings. Also by car. But there is no labeling.

He also came towards Yoon Tae-seok.

Zhang Yong raised the telescope and found that it was a black Buick sedan. But I can't see the people inside.

A few minutes later, the Buick sedan came next to Stippunk. Stop it. Then the lights flashed.

Inside the restaurant, Yoon Tae-seok and "Shin Gong Leopard" continued to talk.

Subsequently, Yoon Tae-seok stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Gongbao sent him to the door of the restaurant.

At this moment, the Japanese spy in the Buick sedan opened the door and got out of the car.

Zhang Yong's eyes flashed suddenly.

Something is going to happen.

The Japanese spy had a gun in his hand.

The model is not clear in the dark. However, it is true that he is carrying a gun.

If you don't get off the bus early, you don't get off at night, but it's time to get off?

Still with a gun?

Idiots know what Japanese spies are going to do.

Sure enough, the Japanese spy quickly raised his gun and shot at Shen Zhongyu.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Gunshots were heard.

Shen Zhongyu was caught off guard and was shot on the spot.

Yoon Tae-seok in front of him quickly retreated. Then get on the bus. There is no upper Stippunk. It's Buick.

Holding a briefcase in one hand. Holding a rattan box in one hand.

Drive.

Leave.

And that Japanese spy continued to shoot.

At this time, Shen Zhongyu's bodyguards also reacted. Hurriedly pulled out a gun and fired back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunfire was chaotic.

The Japanese spy was soon hit as well.

Zhang Yong: ???

What's the situation?

Is this an assassination? It seems like yes.

But the assassin was also killed? The assassins didn't even run away?

Only Yoon Tae-seok ran away alone?

This assassination ......

It doesn't seem to be very technical!

The assassin didn't run away. I also hung up on the scene.

I don't always feel very smart......

But that's okay for now. Let's go after Yoon Tae-seok first.

In view of the four directions in which Yoon Tae-seok may escape, Zhang Yong has long been prepared.

As a result, Yoon Tae-seok happened to be coming at him.

"Bang!"

"Boom la la ......"

There was a garbled voice.

The board car pushed out from the side intercepted the Buick sedan.

The carts were loaded with heavy bricks. The Buick sedan was rudely stopped on the spot.

"Boom ......"

The Buick sedan crashed into the wall.

Yang Zhi and others rushed up.

Successfully dragged Yoon Tae-seok out of the car.

Yoon Tae-seok himself is still a little confused. Not fully sober yet.

Zhang Yong took his briefcase first. Then pick up the rattan box as well.

Okay, no matter what's in it for now, it's all your own.

Sure enough, catching a fat sheep is enough to eat.

"It's ...... you"

At this time, Yoon Tae-seok gradually woke up.

He actually recognized Zhang Yong at the first time.

Zhang Yong: ......

Sloppy.

Didn't put on the hood in time.

Forget it, recognize it, recognize it. Anyway, he and Yoon Tae-seok are also acquaintances.

"Long time no see."

Zhang Yong replied with a smile.

The main one is a harmless white rabbit.

"You ......"

Yoon Tae-seok's eyes were closed. I wish I had fainted.

It's true. It's better to faint. Nothing is known. Otherwise, what would happen next was completely unpredictable.

"I didn't expect you to be in Yangzhou." Zhang Yong said calmly.

Yoon Tae-seok didn't speak.

He didn't want to say anything. Just want to be unconscious.

It's a pity that he is sober.

Zhang Yong picked up the briefcase and opened it.

Sure enough, there were gold bars inside. There are also plenty of silver tickets.

The gold bars are five large yellow croaker. Heavy. One weighs 300 grams.

Therefore, catching Japanese spies is a daily task. As long as there are Japanese spies, they will not starve to death. Stable income. Not high, though.

A rough count of the silver tickets. The number of discoveries is impressive. There were more than 15,000.

Without thinking, swallow it all.

It just so happens that his current personal space can be completely sized.

Glad.

This trip to Yangzhou was not in vain.

The main dish is not served yet, so it is still very good to have an appetizer first.

He opened the rattan box again.

A little disappointed.

There are no gold bars in it. There are also no silver tickets.

It's all a variety of paper credentials.

At the bottom, there is an ocean of letters. But there are not many of them.

If there are a lot of them, it is impossible for Yoon Tae-seok to lift them with one hand.

So, it can be ignored for the time being.

Looking at those paper documents, you found that the one on it seems to be a title deed? Picked it up, pondered it carefully, and found that it was indeed a title deed.

Weird, how can there be a title deed?

Look at the bottom again, it seems to be a salt lead? There are dozens of so many.

Not sure. Traditional. It's complicated. What can be determined is the word "salt". All he thought of was the salt lead.

Strange, a title deed? Dozens of salt citations?

Do what?

Selling land? Selling salt?

The Shen family needs to sell land? Is there still salt in this era?

I don't know why.

"This is the title deed of the estate." Nightingale interjected.

"What's so special?" Zhang Yong didn't understand.

A title deed is a title deed.

What's so special?

What about the estate?

"You can buy and sell freely. It's worth a lot of money. ”

"Really?"

"Look at this manor, it's a hundred acres. At the current market price, at least three thousand oceans. ”

"That salt leads ......"

"It's not a salt lead. It's a salt ticket. It is circulated within Yangzhou merchants. ”

"How do you use it?"

"This salt ticket says it's 100 quintals. That's 10,000 catties. Worth about 500 oceans. ”

"Salt is so cheap?"

"It has nothing to do with the price of salt. Now the eight major merchants are no longer engaged in the salt business. It's just a calculation between them. Salt stamps are the currency that circulates internally. The price of a 100 quintal salt ticket is 500 oceans. If it's a 1,000 quintal salt ticket, it's 5,000 oceans. ”

"Really?"

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Then I reacted again, and the Japanese spy knows a lot. I don't understand anything. She knows everything.

Well, understand one thing.

It's just—

It's all money! It's all worth the money! You can use it for money!

Come on. He just needs to know that.

The rest is how to continue to torture Yoon Tae-seok and how to continue to extract oil.
