130. Yin Zhengping's news
Chu Yuan only stayed at the Sword God Inn for one day before leaving there. In his own words: born to wander around, you can't just stay in one place. Chu Yuan came in the middle of the night and left in the middle of the night. A wave of his sleeves did not take away a cloud, leaving only the depressed Wang Yuan. Because of the damn Chu Yuan, he only paid for one day's room fee, and Wang Yuan himself had to pay for it to help him make up for this day.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and it is the day of June 15, and there are still two months left before the full moon night of August 15. At noon, a young man came to the Sword God Inn with his escort. This young man was not a member of the Great Zhou, but a young master of a tribe in the Great Liao Kingdom, and his group went to Shanxi Province to buy coal. Carboniferous is the coal it is now, but at that time the mining was limited and there was no large-scale use, so not many people knew about it.
The Liao people are mostly bitter cold places in China, and the amount of charcoal is far more than that of the Central Plains, so the Liao people have to buy a lot of charcoal from Shanxi Province every year. This has just entered the summer, and the Liao people began to prepare for the winter.
These people sat down at a table, and Yin Susu walked over. "What do you need from a few guests?" As he was talking, Yin Susu suddenly saw an object, which was hanging on the young man's waist, and it was a delicate short sword. The hilt is entwined with gold wire, with a jewel at the end, and the scabbard is made of fine cowhide and has a pattern painted on it. As soon as she saw this, Yin Susu became extremely excited, and she stepped forward and snatched the short sword one by one.
"How did you get this sword?"
"Bold!" the young guards, one after another, shouted at Yin Susu. Yin Susu ignored them, still staring at the young man, waiting for his answer. The young man obviously didn't understand what was going on, he was still admiring Yin Susu's beauty just now, thinking about how to talk to her, why he suddenly changed his painting style. In the face of the beautiful woman's questioning, the young man did not answer immediately, but first said something to his subordinates, and his guards stopped talking, but their eyes were still fiercely looking at Yin Susu.
After appeasing his subordinates, the young man smiled at Yin Susu. "This girl, I bought this dagger from a guest. ”
"What kind of guest?" Yin Susu asked again. Before the young man could speak, someone behind Yin Susu spoke.
"Su Su, what's wrong?" Wang Yuan walked from behind her and stood next to her.
"Shopkeeper, look, this is my eldest brother's sword!" Yin Susu raised the sword in his hand and said to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan nodded after hearing this, and he said to the young man, "This guest, you also heard, this sword is the item of my friend's brother. Please tell me who the person sold it to you is!"
"Actually, it was a merchant who bought this sword for me, and I don't know the name. However, his nickname is Zhang Dabeard, and he is from your Great Zhou. He sold me this sword two years ago. That's all I know, can this girl give me back the sword?"
"Wait a minute, this guest. Will you sell me this sword?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"How much can you pay?" said the young man, with a strange face.
"Uh! How about 200 taels of silver?" asked Wang Yuan tentatively.
"Deal, give me the money, and the sword will be yours. The young man readily agreed. He had traded the sword for a sheep. In the Great Zhou, a sheep is worth 20 taels of silver. That's a 10-fold increase, no wonder he agreed so easily. It seems that he doesn't know that this money is enough for a meal at the Sword God Inn.
Wang Yuan gave him two hundred taels of silver. Yin Susu got the sword as she wished, and she ran to the side with the sword to look at it carefully. Sure enough, it was her brother's belongings, and the pattern on the scabbard was drawn by herself, and the gem at the end of the hilt was also hand-selected by her. It's been three years, and I finally got the news of my eldest brother Yin Zhengping, and Yin Susu was so excited that she was about to cry!
"Okay Susu, don't get excited. The top priority is to find the businessman named Zhang Dabeard first!" Wang Yuan patted Yin Susu on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll go and get people looking for this bearded man now!" he ran out in a hurry. Wang Yuan shook his head, obviously involving his relatives, Yin Susu also lost his previous calm character.
I really don't know how Mingjiao finds people, but the efficiency is so high. It only took three days to get the news that Zhang Dabeard had been found. His caravan had just arrived in a shipment from the Great Liao Kingdom and was on its way back to the Great Zhou. Yin Susu learned the news and decided to go there in person, meet this bearded man, and see what his relationship with his brother Yin Zhengping was.
Coming out of the Sword God Inn and heading west, Yin Susu took the empty Dao people and Zhou Ruotong to catch up with Zhang's bearded caravan in only two days. Yin Susu and the three of them directly blocked the caravan's way, and Gao's caravan thought it had met bandits. When he saw clearly the cultivation of the three people in front of him, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, Zhang Dabeard honestly ran Yin Susu and waited for her to ask.
"You sold this short sword, right?" asked Yin Susu, staring at Zhang's beard. No wonder it's called Zhang Dabeard, he does have a thick beard.
"Back to this woman! I have an impression of this short sword, but it was the young patriarch of the Huhan Qiang tribe that I sold to the Great Liao Kingdom. Zhang Dabeard said as he wiped the cold sweat from his head with his sleeve. He didn't know why Yin Susu found him, and if he couldn't satisfy her, he would be killed by them directly.
"Since you sold it, tell me how this sword came from, where is the original owner of this sword?" Yin Susu asked anxiously.
"This ......" Zhang Zhang's beard was stuck, and the cold sweat on his head was even more terrible! A face changed several colors in a moment!
"Say anything, we won't be angry with you!" said the Sky Man.
"Well, it's true. This sword was found on a corpse. I knew it was wrong to take the dead man's things, but I was really a money obsessed with them at the time! But I didn't take his things for nothing, I dug a pit and buried him......" said nervously with a big beard.
Yin Susu was shocked when she heard the corpse, and she couldn't believe her ears. Although she hadn't thought about this possibility, she still felt like the world was spinning when she heard the news. The one who doted on her since she was very young and relied on her brother for everything, actually died so silently!
"Where is that corpse?" asked Yin Suqiangzi calmly.
"It's not far from here, on the edge of the desert. ”
"Take us there!"
"Good. Let me arrange it!" Zhang Dabeard finished speaking, and found the steward of the caravan and asked them to arrange for the caravan to rest on the spot. He took a few entourages with Yin Susu and them to find the place where the body was buried two years ago.
