"Ah Fu, what do you think this person is from?" Fan Dingtao waited for a while before asking Fan Fudao.

"Master, it seems that this person wants to facilitate the connection between us and Zhao Er of the Mine Valley, but I still can't tell if he is a spy of the scheming people or someone else. Fan Fu thought for a moment.

"Is there any news about other merchants near the mine valley these days?" Fan Dingtao was noncommittal, and asked Fan Fudao again.

"Not yet. Fan Fu shook his head and said.

"When we know about the big thing of the scheming people, maybe our business will be better. Fan Dingtao seemed to be talking to himself.

"Is the master saying that the big thing of the stinger is good for us?" Fan Fu was not at all confused, and hurriedly asked.

Fan Dingtao smiled, but did not answer.

Kong Rui didn't know anything about this, he lived in Fan's house for two days, he wanted to talk to Fan Dingtao about contacting Zhao Er, but he didn't expect Fan Dingtao to pass on some of his experience in business to Kong Rui during his conversation with him, and he also said that Kong Rui had a great talent for doing business.

Kong Rui naturally couldn't do any business, but the elders passed on some things, and he had to listen to them, and after two days, Kong Rui knew a lot about business, but he didn't discuss the things about the mining valley with Fan Dingtao; Fan Yongjie also spent a lot of time accompanying Kong Rui, and the two were quite close to each other.

Early in the morning of the third day, Kong Rui knew that he had to leave Fan's house, on the one hand, he wanted to contact Duan Zhi to find out some information, on the other hand, he knew that he could no longer discuss with Fan Dingtao about going to the mining valley to do business for a while, and he didn't want to waste more time here, so he said goodbye to Fan Dingtao and Fan Yongjie immediately.

Fan Dingtao's temptation of Kong Rui was already eight or nine years old, and he didn't mind him leaving, just a polite one; Fan Yongjie also knew that he couldn't dissuade him, so he asked Kong Rui: "Where are Brother Lin going?"

"The younger brother still has some things to do in Suidu these days, and it will take a few days to leave Suidu. Kong Rui did not hide it and said bluntly.

"Since my brother is still in Suidu, why don't you stay in Shexia for a few more days?" Fan Yongjie seemed to have guessed this result, and he was not surprised, so he still asked him.

"Thank you Brother Fan for your kindness, it's just that the things that the younger brother has to do this time are a little complicated, and it is really inconvenient to live in your house. Kong Rui excused himself.

"Brother still lives in Yuelai Inn?" Fan Yongjie thought of his identity as a cultivator, so he had no choice but to give up and asked him again.

"This little brother doesn't have a plan yet, so he probably won't live there. Kong Rui's current plan was naturally not to live there, so he replied truthfully.

Fan Yongjie said: "It's better for Brother Yu to recommend a place to go, you can live in Zhiyi Inn, which is no worse than Yuelai Inn." He saw that Kong Rui had just come to Suidu and stayed at the Yuelai Inn, and he was generous, so he thought that maybe he was such a person who liked to enjoy himself, so he recommended a better inn to him, which was also convenient for him to find Kong Rui in the future.

Kong Rui didn't have any requirements for this, seeing that Fan Yongjie recommended the inn to him, he didn't think much about it, and left after asking the address of the Zhiyi Inn.

When Fan Dingtao saw Kong Rui leaving, he said to Fan Yongjie: "Yongjie, you recommended a good place for him." ”

"Dad, this kid also learned from you. Fan Yongjie was stunned for a moment and replied with a smile.

"Yongjie, you go to Xu Ji Firm, let them secretly hoard more salt and cloth, be careful, you can't eat too much at one time, so as not to be suspicious of others. Also, don't let Ah Fu know about this. Fan Dingtao smiled and whispered to Fan Yongjie.

This Xu Ji business is the peripheral business name of their Fan family, and they often do some gray area business, but Fan Yongjie is a little strange, Fan Fu is a very capable manager of their Fan family, and he knows many things, but this time Fan Dingtao didn't want him to know, so he asked: "Dad, why don't you let Uncle Fu know?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Fan Dingtao didn't answer directly, just said.

Of course, Fan Yongjie had no choice but to comply.

Kong Rui first found the Zhiyi Inn, as soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw that this inn was much more luxurious than the Yuelai Inn, and the scale was much larger, there were sedan chairs and luxury carriages stopped at the door from time to time, and the people who came in and out seemed to be either rich or expensive; Seeing this, Kong Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect Fan Yongjie to recommend such an inn to him, and now it's not easy to change it, he still wants Fan Yongjie to be able to find him, so he has to live in it first.

Fortunately, the clothes that Kong Rui wore when he was in the Fan Mansion these days were also excellent, and he was not looked down upon by the guys in the inn, and he was just as generous as he shot, and he asked for the best room.

After arriving at Kong Rui's room, the guy stood by the door and didn't leave, Kong Rui felt strange, so he asked the guy, "Is there anything else you need?"

The guy said, "The little one just led the way for the guest officer." ”

As soon as Kong Rui heard this, he knew what he wanted, so he took out a small piece of broken silver and was about to throw it to him, but in a blink of an eye, he thought: This kid needs so much money to do such a thing, wouldn't it be too much loss for me? I have to ask him something.

Thinking of this, Kong Rui threw the broken silver in his hand into the air and said, "I have a few questions for you." ”

The guy saw at a glance that Kong Rui was a piece of broken silver in his hand, he knew that the tips given by guests on weekdays were copper plates, and there were not many, this shot was a piece of broken silver, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately said respectfully: "If the guest officer has any questions, just ask." ”

"This inn looks good, but are there more people living in it?" asked Kong Rui.

"Of course, our inn is at the top of Suidu, but the people of Yingguan have a clear request, in Suidu, their military and political officials are not allowed to come to the inn opened by our Yingguan people, but there are still a lot of businessmen who live here; The guy said honestly.

Listening to what he said about the people of Yingguan Country, Kong Rui gradually felt a little angry in his heart, but he still asked without moving: "Then is there anyone from the Great Yan Country in the mainland who lives here?"

"I don't know about this little one. "Dude.

"Then are there any Rus' and Xili's people staying there?" Kong Rui asked him again.

"This is not a small bragging, ten Rus' people come to Suidu, at least seven of them will stay in our Zhiyi Inn, but Xili people are different, they prefer an inn opened by Xili people. The guy said triumphantly.

"Do the people of Xili still have an inn in Suidu?" Kong Rui was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it looks like the guest officer is an out-of-towner. In the southeast corner of our capital city, there is a Xili people's settlement area, where there is a herring inn opened by Xili people. ”

"Are there any settlements for the Rus' people?"

The man shook his head and said, "The Rus' people live in scattered and unclimated people, and the Rus' people don't seem to like the Rus' people all along, and they don't want them to live together. ”

Kong Rui nodded, threw the broken silver in his hand to the guy and said, "Okay, this is yours." ”

The man thanked him for his kindness, quit and closed the door and left. Kong Rui thought: This Evil Man and the Rus people still seem to be hostile to each other, and they are not as good as they imagined, but why did they suddenly join forces to deal with the Black Tiger Mountain Armed Forces recently? After thinking about it for a long time, Kong Rui couldn't think of a reason, so he simply didn't think about it, but went out to find Duan Zhi to inquire about the situation.

Although Duan Zhi was scared half to death by Kong Rui, Kong Rui confidently believed that Duan Zhi would not dare to escape, but would be more honest to find out the news for himself, because he knew that intelligence dealers like Duan Zhi knew that it was easy to buy the news of their own whereabouts, and if they wanted to escape, they would probably not be chased and killed if they couldn't run for a hundred miles, so if they weren't prepared or a fool, they wouldn't have thought about escaping.
