Luochuan County is located in a hilly area, low in the north and high in the south, and five or six miles wide horizontally.

In the morning, the rain washes the dust in the sky, giving the sky a strange turquoise color.

The air was very refreshing, and after taking a deep breath, Fang Lei's sleepiness suddenly disappeared a lot, and he felt more and more hungry.

Passing by a store selling clothes, Fang Lei thought about it, pulled out a gold leaf, and plunged into it.

After a while, the transformed Fang Lei walked to the street, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Fang Lei changed into a good satin clothes, this body cost four or five taels of silver. The whole person seems to be in a lot of spirits, with this kind of style, the basket on his back is obviously not very suitable, Fang Lei thought about it, and went to the horse market to wander.

The horse market in Luochuan County was originally run by an official family, and if you want to buy a good horse with strong gait, you need at least thirty taels of silver. Because the price is too expensive, the retired war horses can't be sold here, and most of them end up in the slaughterhouse and become pre-dinner food.

A few years ago, a shrewd and capable county magistrate came to Luochuan County, named Wu Yuyun, that is, Wu Qianqian's father.

The county magistrate of the Young Zhuang faction divided the horse market into several large pieces and rented them to private horse dealers.

Due to the relatively large number of folk mules and horses, and the fact that ordinary people do not need horses very much, in the past few years, the horse market has been much more lively than before, and there are often more than a dozen horses a day. Throughout the month, a horse auction is held here, and it is crowded with men, women and children of all ages who make it a monthly event.

"Just now the owner of the tailor shop said that tomorrow will be the big market, and now go to the horse market to wander around, maybe you can get a harvest. After being instructed, Fang Lei found the horse market in the downtown area.

The scale of this horse market is not small, there are forty or fifty running fields separated by wooden stakes, occupying the southwest corner of the entire city, and before you enter, you can see that there are countless pennants there, and the air is mixed with a unique smell of leaves and horse manure.

Fang Lei's eyes glanced at a vendor selling breakfast on the side of the road, so he asked for two large meat buns, and took a bite full of dripping oil, so happy!

"Boss, wrap me two more, your big bun, it's really fragrant!"

Fang Lei did not hesitate to praise himself, and casually threw half a silver ingot to the old man of the vendor, where had the old man seen so much silver, a bun and two pennies, this half of the silver ingot was at least one or two more, and it could buy hundreds.

"Childe, your money ......"

Fang Lei turned around and said to the vendor selling steamed buns, "Just rush the deliciousness of this meat bun, and the rest should be regarded as a reward." ”

Although the old man's clothes were clean, his family was very poor, and he still put away the silver after a while in his heart, and hurriedly wrapped several meat buns in oiled paper and stuffed them into Fang Lei's hands, "Thank you, son." In the future, as long as you come to the vicinity of Mashi, all the meat buns you eat will be free!"

The old man said sincerely, and moved out a small stool for Fang Lei to sit down, "Childe, tomorrow is the horse market, and today it's just horse dealers who come to walk the horses." However, if you want to really buy a good horse, you have to buy it today, and if you wait until tomorrow, the good horses are booked in advance. ”

After he reminded him like this, Fang Lei immediately heard the doorway, in fact, it is not only to buy horses, as long as there are many people involved, if you can operate in advance, you must get more benefits than others.

Fang Lei asked with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, it's okay, you might as well add a bowl of bean juice to me, just these buns, it can be regarded as a full meal." ”

The stall owner smiled, and immediately filled a bowl of white, tender and smooth tofu brains, and handed it to Fang Lei. Fang Lei also took a closer look at the vendor, in fact, he was only in his fifties at most, but due to overwork, his sideburns had long been gray, so at first glance, he looked like an old man.

With a "snort", he took a big sip of tofu brain.

The vendor received Fang Lei's tip, and the conversation box was opened.

"Childe, are you buying a horse yourself, or are you buying it for the government?"

Fang Lei is dressed in gorgeous clothes, his appearance is handsome and chic, and the chalcedony ring in his hand shows his special identity, although he is carrying a back basket, he looks like a powerful son of half a landlord and old wealth from the perspective of dress, not the kind of useless goods that look for flowers and willows. Therefore, the street vendors can't help but look up to Fang Lei.

"Well, I'm just going to buy one myself. ”

"That boy is in the middle of the place, and there are a number of good horses here lately. I heard that it is a direct auction by the official family, if you can give a few silver rewards over there, my old boy can run for you, and maybe I can lead a good horse in advance. ”

The vendor is also a person of character, receiving money from people, so he can only do more work, he said sincerely, and added, "It's just a pity, I heard that the owners of these horses are all young hunters under the command of Wuxian County, a few days ago, there was a fierce battle in the reservoir of Yunyan Town, and all of them were killed." These horses are their vehicles. Who is so ruthless, the county government can't find a name!"

Fang Lei was shocked, just a few days ago, in the reservoir of Yunyan Town, Zhen Li angrily killed sixteen or seventeen fast catchers, this was what he saw with his own eyes, and when this vendor mentioned this, Fang Lei's heart was inexplicably colic.

Those young catchers are all living flesh and blood, with parents and children!

Although he slashed Zhen Li, Fang Lei's mood was still very heavy, he drank the bean juice without saying a word, and asked the vendor, "Old man, the silver money from the auction of these horses is all for the benefit of those family members?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." However, this incident alarmed the Dali Temple of the imperial court, and the masters of the six doors have been sent here to investigate the case. Therefore, it is best not to go out at night recently, and the entire county has implemented a curfew in other places except Fengyue Street. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but glance at Fang Lei again, and reminded, "Don't think I'm talking too much, I think Gongzi is a scholar, knowledgeable and reasonable, the situation has been serious recently, and Confucian students like you must not forget to wear a waist card, lest those officers and soldiers like vicious dogs accidentally injure you." ”

Fang Lei nodded, thinking that the small Luochuan County had actually alarmed the Dali Temple in the imperial court, and there were even six doors that appeared, but could they find out the Yuan Bao Sect, Fang Lei really wanted to know what they were capable of.

It's better to give it a try, Fang Lei thought about it, and made an extraordinary plan in his heart, it is better to lay down the foundation in Luochuan County, so that in the future, he can also have an understanding of the behavior of the Yuan Bao Sect, since Liang Zi is finished, how can there be a good death; if the strength of the six doors is really enough, then it is better to let them end the old nest of the Yuan Bao Sect for themselves, and avenge those who died. Thinking of this, Fang Lei faintly had a long-term layout plan in his heart, and he said to the vendors, "I'm new to the city, and I'm not familiar with the place, thank you for reminding me! There's also a gold ingot, and I'd like to ask you to do something for me. ”

Fang Lei took out a gold ingot, and the old man was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated and waved his hand, "Son, why are you here, the villain is not blessed to endure this." If I had suffered, I would have been robbed by robbers in the middle of the night, and I wouldn't have a single corpse left. ”

Fang Lei squinted his eyes and glanced around, and sure enough, he found that on the crowded street, there were several beggars in ragged clothes staring here, with a greedy green light in their eyes.

The so-called wealth cannot reveal wealth, and these people are not good people at first glance! There must be some kind of gang behind it.

In order to ensure the personal safety of this vendor, Fang Lei simply put away the gold ingots and said bluntly, "My husband thinks too much, in fact, I just want my husband to do me a favor and buy a shop in the surrounding prosperous area." I want to hire you as my chef, and let's start a steamed bun shop together. ”

It took a long time for the vendor to turn around, and it seemed that what Fang Lei said was like that, and asked tentatively, "Does Childe want to do business here?" However, my old guy has nothing to do except steam steamed buns. ”

Fang Lei nodded with a smile, and said in a homely tone, "Yes, I just want to do business, if this ingot of gold is not enough, I can add another ingot." Over the years, in order to gain fame, I have been a child for more than ten years, and I am really ashamed to be thrown home, and I definitely don't want to go home again. Passing through Luochuan County, I wanted to stop here and run a storefront. Your steamed buns are very delicious, I want to hire you to be the shopkeeper of my steamed bun shop, hire a few guys, rent a good place, you contribute, I pay, we partner to open a steamed bun shop, I will share your thirty percent of the income. ”

Fang Lei looked at him like a torch, not like empty words, just waiting for the old man's reply.

"Thirty percent of the income?"

The old man's heart trembled, he was more than fifty years old, there was a son with cerebral palsy at home, the old mother was sick all the year round, and the family was very bad. Therefore, the idea of the young man in front of him was like a big pie falling from the sky to him, and if he accidentally stepped on it, he was afraid of falling.

"This ...... Let me think about it. ”

Fang Lei saw that he was hesitating, leaving room for maneuver, and said, "This is not in a hurry, I will stay at the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city, you can find me tonight." Whether it works out or not, I've made up my mind for your friend, big brother!"

After speaking, Fang Lei straightened up, shook his clothes with his hand, put on a unique step, and walked slowly towards the city.

The vendor chased him a few steps, and a voice came, "Childe, don't you want a horse?"

"What is a horse, a person in the picture is even more rare!"

Fang Lei disappeared into the flow of people without looking back, and the street vendor trembled when he heard this, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, who doesn't have an ideal, who wants to do this small business to support a family? It's just that after a long time, when you get older, your enterprising spirit has been smoothed out, which makes the street vendors feel like a dream when they encounter such an opportunity in half a hundred years.

The old man sat at the table and pondered for a while, puzzled, and finally made up his mind, walked to the wooden barrel that came here every day, kicked it fiercely, and said a few words, "I want to fight it too!"

The old wooden barrels rolled to the ground, causing many beggars to rush up and pick up the meat buns on the ground.

Huang Sanlang threw off his burden and ran towards the outside of the city, he clearly knew what to do next, people gave two ingots of gold, there were twenty taels of gold, that is, a full two hundred taels of silver, how big a store could be in this Luochuan County, what was the location, how many people could be hired, and when it would open; these were all things that needed to be considered.

Therefore, Huang Saburo decided to go home and take his old abacus for a round before he could come to a conclusion. Then I will find Fang Lei later and discuss the details carefully.

At this time, Fang Lei was not idle, after he left Huang Sanlang, he was vigilantly aware that if he didn't be ruthless to these beggars who were staring at Huang Sanlang, he was afraid that his father-in-law would have more trouble in the future.

Where to think and do, Fang Lei followed one of the beggars, and found this place by the way, he blocked the dark corner of the city wall, and beat a young beggar.

On the ground, there were several beggars and ruffians lying horizontally, these people had been looking at Huang Sanlang for a while just now, Fang Lei thought of it with his toes, not to mention this ingot of gold, even if it was the half of the silver he rewarded, if he wasn't here, he might be robbed by these people.

Fang Lei is a real great martial artist level, every punch is cultivated both inside and outside, the pain is severe but does not hurt the opponent's muscles and bones, and the dull sound of flesh blows is breathtaking in front of these people who have no foundation in martial arts.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, the strong man under his command was finally not as tough as just now, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Fang Lei stomped his foot, this person was frightened for a while, and said with a crying voice, "Master Lei, don't fight, don't fight, we know that Huang Sanlang is covered by you, if anyone dares to move a little finger in the future, I will twist off my head and give you the night pot." ”

slapped his face, Fang Lei snorted coldly, didn't speak, stared at the tiger, and the big man was so frightened that he fell again.

Fang Lei turned around and left slowly, those beggars looked at the arrogant back from behind, and only a few vague and babbling songs came from afar.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell, Lei Ye, I am chaotic, I want to go to the fairyland. Otherworldly, sanctified by the sound of flesh, who can understand my heart? Jingle bell, jingle bell ......"
