Spy on each other

Although he was in the Cham country at this time, Lei Tong's vigilance was not low at all.

These Tang people had obviously never seen each other before, and there were no people he knew to recommend him, so he resolutely would not admit his identity at this time.

Lei Tong continued to pretend that he didn't understand the other party's words, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

He said impatiently to the woodcutter: "Go away, the uncle is not an island owner, let alone a businessman. ”

Seeing that the other party still refused to talk to him in the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, the woodcutter was obviously impatient, so he went directly to the topic.

"Lord Leitong Island, since you can find this place, you have naturally figured out your way to come from.

Please also rest assured that I have no ill intentions in coming here.

It's just that there are really no acquaintances around who can deal with the island owner.

So I had to come on my own. ”

Lei Tong listened to the woodcutter's words and still ignored him, only to see him impatiently reach out and push the woodcutter aside.

muttered in Cham language: "You are so unreasonable, the uncle obviously doesn't understand what you are saying, and he wants to stop the uncle and not let me go." ”

After saying this, he left the restaurant without looking back, and walked briskly into the distance.

Seeing this, one of the woodcutter's side was about to leave, but was secretly stopped by the woodcutter.

I only heard him open his mouth and say to a few people: "Since the Lord of Thunder Island is more wary of us, then we will go back to the inn and stay first."

He will find a way to communicate with the Lord of Thunder Island in the future. ”

After saying this, he took the lead and walked towards the inn where several people lived, and seemed to be indifferent to Lei Tong's departure.

At this time, not far behind a few people, there was a person quietly following, he was sent by Lei Tong to find out the way of a few people.

Woodcutters and others strolled down the street seemingly casually.

In fact, when communicating with each other, they have already seen the surrounding situation.

The stalker's skills weren't very skilled, so he was quickly discovered by several people.

But all of them pretended not to know anything about it.

The group continued to talk in low voices all the way until they returned to the inn and entered their rooms.

The stalker found the shopkeeper soon after the few people entered the inn.

He quickly showed a token to the shopkeeper, and then said his intention in the shopkeeper's slightly nervous eyes:

"Give me the information of the Tang people who just came in, and my lord suspects that they may be detrimental to the imperial court."

When the shopkeeper heard this person's words, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly took out the account book.

What the person in front of him just showed was a token in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the adult in this person's mouth should be the Prime Minister.

If you delay this person's big event, you may lose your life in vain.

The stalker took the account book and looked at it carefully.

The information registered above shows that several people did come to Cham for the purpose of doing business.

Among them, the leader is named Qiao Li, from Yangzhou City in the Tang Dynasty.

The others all seem to be hired by the leader.

Seeing this, the person who was watching suddenly raised his head and asked the shopkeeper, "Have you checked the degree of a few people?" ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that it's already right, right!" The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and said.

"How many people came with goods with them?" The stalker asked again.

"Back to my lordship, a few people drove five carriages, and the goods they carried seemed to be porcelain and tea."

The shopkeeper replied with some uncertainty.

These things are all confirmed by Guan Pass, and the shopkeeper, as the innkeeper, has no right to inquire in the first place.

This information was nothing more than what he had discovered through his own observations.

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the man spoke again: "Have you sold the goods of several people?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Several people have been here for two days, and the goods they bring are all sought-after things, so they have been traded with people as early as yesterday." ”

"Do you know who is dealing with them?" The man asked eagerly.

The shopkeeper spoke: "Lord Hui is trading with the shopkeeper Li in the west of the city. ”

The man listened to the shopkeeper's answer and immediately wanted to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, something suddenly came to mind.

I only heard him open his mouth and explain to the shopkeeper: "Keep an eye on those people to see if they still have any dealings with others." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, the villain remembers." ”

The stalker left the inn immediately after explaining to the shopkeeper, and he had to go to the shopkeeper to inquire about the situation.

When the woodcutter and the others returned to the inn, they immediately lay down and rested, and it was not until dinner that they all appeared on the first floor of the inn.

I only heard the woodcutter shouting to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, come here with a few good dishes and five catties of good wine, and I want to have a drink with a few brothers when I have nothing to do today." ”

There are several other tables of guests on the first floor of the inn.

After listening to the woodcutter's words, everyone looked sideways.

You must know that the price of alcohol is not cheap in these years, and the average person who drinks one or two taels on weekdays is considered to be relatively rich.

However, at this time, the woodcutter asked for five catties of wine as soon as he opened his mouth, which was the sales of many taverns for nearly a day.

The shopkeeper didn't have the time to sigh whether the woodcutter was rich or not.

After listening to the woodcutter's words, he immediately arranged a table of good dishes for several people.

It's a pity that there is really no good wine in the Cham country.

The best liquor is nothing more than an ordinary liquor imported from Datang.

The woodcutter and the others came down to drink at this time, originally just for acting.

Therefore, although several people felt that the drink was unpalatable, they still drank it head-on.

Just when the woodcutter and the others were staggering and preparing to go upstairs, the woodcutter deliberately walked up to the shopkeeper and asked:

"Shopkeeper, may your store help customers contact the girl outside?

This long night is really a little lonely and sleepless! ”

"Don't blame the guest officer, the little one has nothing to do with the green building, and it really can't meet the requirements of the guest officer."

The shopkeeper bowed and refused.

After listening to the shopkeeper's reply, the woodcutter waved his hand and said, "Since you can't do it, forget it."

It seems that it is still necessary to find a suitable source of goods as soon as possible in order to return to Datang as soon as possible. ”

After saying this, he staggered back to the upper floor with a few people.

It wasn't long before snoring came from the rooms of several people.

The shopkeeper of the inn arranged for a little er to secretly go upstairs to observe, and after making sure that several people had fallen asleep, he was relieved not to pay attention.

However, the innkeeper didn't know that at this time, one person had secretly walked out of each of the three rooms where the woodcutter and the others lived.

Although Champa is the royal city of the Cham kingdom, it does not occupy a very large area.

The woodcutter sneaked out of the inn with his two companions, and immediately walked stealthily in the direction of the east of the city.

Several people had already inquired into the mansion where Lei Tong lived.

At this time, I went to see if I could get something out.
