Yang Zhi wanted to see if Du Xing really had a channel from Liaoyang to Jizhou, so he had to give Du Xing a reasonable reason, the reason why he said red goods was because there was a small bag of jewelry given by Li Wanhua, Yang Zhi had seen it, they were all pearls, agate and other things, and they were worth a few dollars; of course, there were drawbacks to saying that red goods were all in their hearts, and the red goods operated by the characters in the rivers and lakes were stolen nine times out of ten, and the goods were either stolen or robbed by the seller.

Yang Zhi said so frankly, Du Xing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, these things are wrapped up in the younger brother, the younger brother has a few friends in the dart bureau, and he is just going to transport a batch of goods to Jizhou, if the elder brother doesn't mind, he will pretend to be a dart master all the way." Later, the younger brother will accompany the elder brother to pick a good horse to strengthen the momentum. ”

I have to say that Du Xing can speak, and has business acumen, according to the relationship between the two, Du Xing took the initiative to change his words, from Brother Kou to brother, Yang Zhi will definitely not use Du Xing's arrangement in vain; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "That's good, I just don't know when they will leave, I want to get the red goods in front of me." ”

Du Xing naturally understood that Yang Zhi wanted to hear a good letter, and Yang Zhi couldn't raise horses in this small house, so he must buy a horse before leaving, but Yang Zhi agreed to buy a good horse, Du Xing was overjoyed, and said proudly: "I'll take my brother over and introduce my brother to the brothers of the Blackwater Gang." ”

Yang Zhi patted Du Xing on the shoulder and said, "It's still early, let's go have two cups of tea first." ”

Duchenne immediately understood that it was too early to come to the door, which would make the Blackwater Gang feel like asking for something, so he followed

Yang Zhi, after Yang Zhi locked the door, they came to a teahouse selling steamed buns and dim sum on the street; as soon as the two sat down, Dr. Tea came with a smile, and Du Xing asked, "What tea do you have here?"

"Hangzhou tea, Bianliang tea, and all kinds of tea soups. Dr. Tea still looked down on the two rough people, and Yang Zhi said unceremoniously: "Then come a pot of Hangzhou tea, with two kinds of snacks and a cage of meat buns." ”

Yang Zhi knew that Hangzhou tea was the green tea in the south of the Yangtze River, and the practice of directly brewing it in later generations was also called this in the teahouses of Zhongjing and Youzhou. After a while, Dr. Tea sent tea and snacks over, and Dr. Tea made tea for the two of them, the tea leaves were not bad, they were the tea leaves of Jiangnan, all of them were bud tips, churning in boiling water, but the teacups were a little worse, and the small shop in Bianliang could not be compared; the two dim sum were chicken feet and steamed cakes, plus a cage of mutton buns twelve.

Yang Zhi and the two spent about an hour in the teahouse, Yang Zhi learned from Du Xing's mouth that most of the original transportation from Liaoyang to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures was in the hands of Bohai Hall, but Bohai Hall was one of the main forces of Gao Yongchang's rebellion, after the Jin people occupied Bohai, although they nominally retained Bohai Hall, and arranged for Mi Shengtang, the original hall master of Bohai Hall, to serve as a helper, but Bohai Hall no longer has the momentum of the past.

The Blackwater Gang is composed of characters from the rivers and lakes who came with the Jinren, including masters of various ethnic groups, and now basically forms a situation of non-interference with Bohaitang, Bohaitang only does legitimate civilian business, and most of the smuggling and military business is done by the Blackwater Gang. Therefore, the Blackwater Gang is now expanding at an astonishing rate, and several of Du Xing's friends have been snare into it, if Du Xing does not go to the Great Song Dynasty, it must also be the result of joining the Blackwater Gang.

Yang Zhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Which big man is behind the Blackwater Gang?"

"Zong Han. Du Xing said without hesitation: "Gang leader Wen is Zong Han's confidant, Jin Taizu advocates frugality, but everyone."

There are ways to make money. But there is a sentence to tell my brother first, this time it is to transport a part of the goods is military supplies, my brother pretending to be a dart master is a cover-up, it is a fee, in case of a situation, my brother can decide whether to shoot, or leave alone. ”

Yang Zhi's purpose is to leave Liaoyang City, as for the back, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and he never expected to be able to rely on the Blackwater Gang all the way safely; since it is the Blackwater Gang that is Zong Han's minions, if he knows his identity, I am afraid that he will be the first to kill himself. Yang Zhi didn't readily agree, and deliberately frowned and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Ten taels of gold. Du Xing said a number without thinking about it, in Yang Zhi's opinion, there should have been similar things before, so there is a ready-made transaction price; Yang Zhi pretended to think about it for a while, nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Yang Zhi settled the account, and Du Xing took Yang Zhi to Longxing Xingxing on West Street, which should be a point of the Heishui Gang, quite large-scale, the yard was loading, and the guys were carrying salt, cloth and other goods, and were loading them into the carriages; the janitor at the door recognized Du Xing and had a good attitude: "Du Xing, why do you have time to come?"

Du Xing smiled and whispered, "Is the shopkeeper Mo here?"

The janitor was a practitioner, and when he heard this, he glanced at Yang Zhiduo and said, "The shopkeeper is in the back warehouse, you can go by yourself." ”

Du Xing thanked him, and walked in familiarly, Yang Zhi followed behind Du Xing, passed through the shop in front, and walked to the big warehouse at the back, the scale of the warehouse was about the same size as the granary of Boluhuo, and the goods inside were piled up, but there were many kinds of grain, horse harness, cloth, salt, department stores, etc. After Du Xing said a few words to a steward who was directing the men to work in front of the warehouse, the steward glanced at Yang Zhi and immediately came over and said: "Du Xing, you have lost your eyes this time, the flying bear Koxin Cliff was a hero of the White Mountain and Black Water ten years ago, and it turned out that he went to the Central Plains to make money." In the lower Yeluqin, I saw Brother Kou. “

Du Xing was stunned, he had not been in Bohai for ten years, how could he know such a person as Kou Xinya, Yang Zhi replied casually indifferently: "That's all in the past, now I just want to earn some money and live a life of eating, drinking and having fun." “

How could Yelu Qin believe that the business of selling horses and smuggling was more dangerous than ordinary Jianghu behavior, and the Song Dynasty would give a heavy reward, but if he was caught in Liao, it would be a capital crime; Kou Xinya had been so low-key in recent years, I am afraid that he was still afraid that his identity would be exposed and noticed by the people of Liao. How many smugglers are masters of the rivers and lakes, and in the end they did not fall on the way to transport goods, most of them were caught by the government in impossible places because they were wanted.

Yelu Qin immediately guessed Kou Xinya's intention to befriend Du Xing, one was that the Jin Kingdom was also in favor of smuggling horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone who smuggled horses would bring some Great Song goods over, and the other was that Kou Xinya wanted to establish a safe passage.
