Song Huizong Zhao Ji soon knew that Cao Qianli was severely knocked on a bamboo bar by Yang Zhi and the others, and Yang Zhi and they took the opportunity to ask for the tooth man qualification of the salt tea horse, and Xie Shi opened the Zhi Shi horse shop in Bianliang. That's what many people want to break their heads, but state affairs are so busy, Yang Zhi's matter is just a trivial matter improvised by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and he quickly forgot about it; I heard that a new singer Li Shishi appeared in Xinmen Wazi, not to mention the beautiful and moving, and a golden voice, singing in a shallow and low voice, full of emotion, Zhao Ji went to see it once, and his mind fell on Li Shishi.

Yang Zhi and Xie Shi decided to take tea to Yan'an Mansion after discussion, since the reform of the salt and tea tax, the imperial court encouraged merchants to transport tea, grain, and cloth to the border gates, and the price gap was obvious. The two of them bought a medium-sized hair tip at the familiar Xinyang Tea Shop, 500 wen a catty, a total of 1,000 catties of tea; Yang Zhi went to Li Ji Mule and Horse Shop and hired two mule carts, both of which were good carts pulled by two mules, and each mule and horse shop was accompanied by a man.

Yang Zhi arranged everything, returned to Zhishi Maxing, and saw a familiar figure standing and chatting with Xie Shi, and couldn't help asking, "Xu Ning, how did you come here?"

The three companions who went to the south with Yang Zhi to escort Hua Shigang learned that Lin Chong had become a monk in Sizhou Shifang Temple when Yang Zhi returned to Bianliang, Hua Rong was transferred to the Daimyo Mansion, and only the golden gunner Xu Ning returned to the Golden Gun Class and was promoted to one of the eight leaders of the Golden Gun Class. At that time, in order to find a new job, Yang Zhi once went to find Xu Ning, but Xu Ning was not at home, gradually, Yang Zhi also understood, and his heart was light, although the two were in Bianliang, they had no contact for more than half a year.

Xu Ning has a great figure, his arms are thick and powerful, and he is well maintained, and he looks like a master of a generation, but his eyes are a little wandering; Xu Ning saw Yang Zhi, took two steps quickly, stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Yang, long time no see." ”

Yang Zhi returned the salute and said: "Brother Xu Xian, I have always heard that you are very busy with the emperor, and it is rare to be free today." ”

Xu Ning smiled and said: "I heard that Manager Yang Jian said that my brother's horse store opened, and my younger brother came to congratulate him. With such a backer as Chief Manager Yang, my brother will definitely have a lot of money in the future, and the Chief Manager has instructed that if Ma Xing has anything difficult in the future, he can come to me and send him a message. ”

Xie Shi and Yang Zhi understood, Yang Jian had arranged an emergency passage for Xu Ning to pass on a word, and it would not show the mountains or waters; as for Yang Zhi's task, Yang Jian definitely didn't tell Xu Ning. Yang Zhi showed a relieved smile, patted Xu Ning's shoulder and said, "Brother came just in time, I will leave tomorrow, and I will find a place to gather later." ”

Xie Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yang Zhi, there are still people looking for you in the back warehouse." ”

Yang Zhi knew that Xie Shi had something to say, so he asked Xu Ning to sit down temporarily, Yang Zhi came directly to the warehouse, only to see a thin man in black standing in front of the tea leaves in the warehouse, and the two men guarding the warehouse were hiding in the distance like a plague god; Yang Zhi knew, it was the flying knife performer of Sangjia Wazi, the flying sage Li Gon, Yang Zhi asked angrily: "What are you looking for me?"

Li Gon rarely smiled, and said in a low voice: "I was kicked out by Sang Yunqing, and I want to follow you to eat a bowl of rice." ”

Yang Zhi looked Li Gon up and down and said, "Talk about people, or I'll kick you out." ”

Li Gon changed his smile and whispered: "I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, it was Sect Master Cao Qianli Cao who asked me to come, saying that I would follow you to make a big deal, Hong Bao came here just now, and he has already negotiated with Boss Xie." ”

Yang Zhi nodded, took out two taels of silver and handed it over and said, "Then it's hard for you, you just watch this batch of goods, and when you go to the street to configure all the items you need, you will set off with me tomorrow." ”

Li Gon thanked and took the silver tael, Yang Zhi returned to the front shop, Xie Shi had already asked people to buy wine and food, and the three of them ate and drank in the house; Xu Ning had always been worried that Yang Zhi had an opinion of himself, but he didn't expect that Yang Zhi in front of him was a soul who had crossed over, and he didn't feel the pain of the past, so his attitude was to treat Xu Ning as an ordinary friend. Xu Ning was secretly rejoicing, so he heard Yang Zhi ask, "Do you know why Lin Chong became a monk?"

Xu Ning's hand shook, and the wine spilled out, Xu Ning coughed, and covered up: "Now that I drink less, it's really too much to drink." Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang Hezhou offended the big man and was transferred to Linzhou, Lin Chong spent money to transfer his father-in-law back, but he didn't expect the money to run out, and the matter was not done; who would have thought that when the news of Zhang Hezhou died in Hengshan came, his wife hanged herself, and Lin Chong was discouraged, so he resigned from his military post and went to Shifang Temple to become a monk. ”

Yang Zhi didn't expect Lin Chong's real life to be even more unbearable than Shi Nai'an's pen, so he took a sip of wine, suppressed the fire in his heart and asked, "Who is that big man, and who is the person who cheated Lin Chong of his money?"

Xu Ning smiled bitterly and waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't ask, I'm for your good, and these two people don't dare to offend even Manager Yang." ”

Yang Zhi smiled understandingly and said: "That's how I asked, if I really want to know, I will know everything if I ask Lin Chong's old colleague." ”

Xie Shi also persuaded Xu Ning to drink, Xu Ning thought that what Yang Zhi said was reasonable, although few people knew about this kind of thing, it was by no means confidential, why should he leave a bad impression on Yang Zhi. Xu Ning and Xie Shi finished drinking and said, "It was Master Tong Guan who transferred Zhang Hezhou, and it was Wang Huang who didn't help. ”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard it, he knew that Xu Ning was not talking nonsense before, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Liang Shicheng were known as the three phases, and they had three powers in the court; Yang Zhi decided to wait for Lin Chong to meet in the future, and then talk about these hidden feelings, and then only tell Xu Ning some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes; seeing this, Xu Ning gradually relaxed and drank until dark before leaving and going back.
