(There are too many things at the end of the year, and I will strive for more than two more tomorrow)

Chen Tang returned to the Yuelai Inn, had lunch with the four young men, and then went out and began to buy various necessities.

In fact, most of these things are needed in the village, and they are listed through the list and then bought.

Prices have skyrocketed, at least three times as much as in normal times, and after a purchase, the money is spent like water.

Chen Tang asked Ah Qiang to record them one by one, and said: "The numbers must be clear, and when you return to the village, you must calculate them clearly." ”

"Yes. ”

Ah Qiang and the others hurriedly responded and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Spending money clearly exceeded expectations, and they felt a lot of pressure. It is likely that after this time, the whole village owes Chen Tang money. A large amount of food needs to be paid in order to be paid off. But this can't be helped, because some things are indispensable, such as salt.

I bought many things one by one, carried them back to the inn in large and small bags, and carefully put them in the room.

It's getting late, and after the night, I'll go out of town tomorrow morning.

There are a lot of things to buy this time, but the quantity is not much, so there is no need for a carriage, just let the four young men carry it on their backs.

After dinner, it was getting dark. Chen Tang ordered the four of them to stay at the inn and walked out by themselves, without riding horses. Riding a rouge horse is too big a target to gallop, but it is better to walk. And the rouge horse has a spirit, and there is no problem in staying in the stable.

The situation was turbulent, and the Gaocheng Yamen had already issued a notice, and when it arrived, a curfew began. But until then, the market can still be open.

Some lanterns began to hang up.

The street where the Panda Inn is located is one of the busiest streets in the city. However, when the night market opened, its popularity seemed to wither, and there was not much excitement.

Chen Tang carried the sword box on his back and walked down the street. After half a circle, he shook his head and went straight to Juyuanfang.

The pawnshop was not closed, and two lanterns were hung at the door.

As soon as Chen Tang stepped in, he heard the middle-aged shopkeeper exclaim in surprise: "Lord Captain, you are here." ”

After a while, the shop was about to close, but fortunately, Chen Tang was finally waited.

Chen Tang said indifferently: "After doing business trips, I have some free time, so let's take a look." ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper ran out with a smiling face: "What about my son-in-law?"

"How much can you pay?"

Chen Tang went straight to the point, it was originally to make extra money, it was better to talk about money directly. Don't talk about money, do you want to talk about feelings with Fan Yuan? There is no affection between each other.

The middle-aged shopkeeper thought for a while and raised three fingers: "Three thousand dollars." ”

This price was very good before, but now the market is ......

Chen Tang said: "Five thousand dollars, give half first." If I can't deal with it, the money won't be refunded. ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "My lord, this seems to be out of order." ”

But I was worried in my heart, if the other party took the money, only took a few looks, and then withdrew, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

Chen Tang's expression remained unchanged: "I don't know if you don't have confidence in me, or if you don't have confidence in our nine doors." I can tell you clearly, I will definitely make a move. But if things are too dangerous and unpredictable, I can't afford to lose my life for it. I do things for others, and I have always put villains before gentlemen, and made it clear to others. Whether you accept it or not is your business. ”

Hearing him say calmly, the middle-aged shopkeeper's expression changed, and he knew in his heart that Chen Tang was right. It is said that "died in the line of duty", but this trip is obviously private work, how can people take a great risk to sell their lives?

Then he said: "I have to go back and discuss this matter with the people on the owner's side before I can make up my mind." ”

After a pause: "My lord, the road is not far, why don't you go with me?"

Chen Tang said: "Okay." ”

So the middle-aged shopkeeper ordered his subordinates to close, and he took Chen Tang away. On the way, I accompanied the careful and asked, "I don't know your surname?"

"The surname is Mo. ”

Chen Tang replied that he was not dressed as a Taoist at the moment, but he was worried that the death of Mo Shaochun and the others would be noticed by the people on the other side of the Nine Gates, and whether he would conduct an inspection and recourse. What is the procedure for starting, nothing is known. But what is certain is that over time, there will definitely be various unpredictable unknown risks. All in all, the identity of this Nine Doors cannot be impersonated all the time. It is usually used to deal with the inspection of the city gate, or to scare some ordinary people, which is not a problem. I'm afraid of bumping into an expert, so it's hard to explain.

"It turned out to be Master Mo, surnamed Fan. ”

Chen Tang asked: "Shopkeeper Fan, with the Fan family's reputation and connections in Qinzhou, if something goes wrong, there should be many ways to solve it, why is it delayed?"

Shopkeeper Fan sighed: "It's not a secret, my son-in-law is not a descendant. And, how to put it, the current situation, you also understand, is messed up everywhere. It's hard to juggle a lot of things. Besides, my son-in-law came to Gaocheng to do business here, and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to notify the state and county for a while. ”

Chen Tang nodded, noncommittal.

In last year's Tianzi Examination, Fan Xuan's gold list was titled, but Fan Yuan fell to Sun Shan. This fall will naturally have a far-reaching impact on the path of life. The Fan family is a big clan, and within such a clan, there are inevitably various conflicts of interest, dumping and the like. Fan Yuan was probably unexpected, so he was sent to Gaocheng.

However, Chen Tang was not interested in these. He only knocked on the side to find out something about the situation of the Fan family in Qinzhou. Although the shopkeeper Fan obviously concealed it and was vague, he could also guess that with the turmoil, Fan's situation in Qinzhou was not easy. Although these eunuch families were well-connected, they did not have military power. In the stormy situation, it is inevitable to be passive.

After saying something, before he knew it, Shopkeeper Fan took Chen Tang to a mansion.

Here, this is Fan's property in Gaocheng, with more than a dozen houses stretching into a patch, which looks rich and compelling.

At the main entrance, one left and one right, there are two stone beasts, and there are dismounted stones and other things.

Chen Tang suddenly stood still, and said indifferently: "I'll wait outside for the time being, you go and tell me, if you agree, you will take the money out, if it doesn't work, I'll just leave." ”

Shopkeeper Fan hesitated slightly: "That's fine." ”

Chen Tang said: "But you remember, I won't wait too long, half an hour, and I won't wait for it." ”

"Okay, Lord Mo, wait a minute, I'll be out soon. ”

Shopkeeper Fan hugged his fists, turned around and hurriedly walked into the house.

Chen Tang stood outside, raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes were cold, but he didn't find any abnormalities such as yin qi. But seeing the variety of plane trees on both sides of the street here, it should be a good place in feng shui.

Dengdenden!

At most, three minutes later, I saw Shopkeeper Fan running out: "Master Mo, the old housekeeper in the house has promised, let me bring money to invite you into the house." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a heavy money bag.

Chen Tang took it, opened it, and saw the yellow, orange, and orange coins inside, so he said, "Okay, lead the way ahead." ”

When I came to the door, I haven't entered the door yet. Woo, suddenly out of nowhere, a vicious wind swept over, blew over the two lanterns hanging on the eaves, fell to the ground, and fell to the ground.
