Chapter 14: "Pengcheng"

Xuzhou, Pengcheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The streets in Pengcheng are lined with rooms, and the doors and alleys are straight, which is much better than the scene of wailing outside the city.

It was early in the morning, the mild sun was spreading across the city, and the voices of people were beginning to boil. Along the way, ox carts with goods began to pass through the streets, and vendors selling breakfast set up their stalls, and passers-by shouted from time to time......

The city is beginning to show its dynamism.

Su Bingnan had already changed out of the clothes covered with blood, left everyone, and walked through the streets, the golden sunlight shining on his face, reflecting the light on one side, like a compassionate ancestor, and on the other side, a misty shadow was reflected, covering his face.

When he saw the many shops on both sides, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the outside of the city and the inside of the city were like two different worlds, and they were distinct.

Approaching a store, this is a horizontal faΓ§ade, the door is wider than the door of a normal house, the windows are extremely large, and the counter is placed under the window of the store, and passing customers can directly see the goods through the open window.

The eaves of this shop are also wide, almost half a zhang long, which is to protect customers from getting wet in the rain or being exposed to the scorching sun in bad weather.

Su Bingnan came to the store, and when he entered the main entrance, he found that there was only one shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, his head like a fishing rod, up and down.

Walking in front of the napping shopkeeper, Su Bingnan knocked on the wooden counter.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes suddenly, and the essence of his eyes came out between the opening and closing, and his muscles were tense, and he was about to bounce and kill Su Bingnan.

In the next moment, he saw clearly that the person in front of him had no other moves.

This man is a master, and he immediately makes a judgment.

The murderous aura of the whole body quickly subsided, and the shopkeeper quickly showed a sophisticated smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I was a little tired in the morning, I squinted my eyes for a while, forgive me, what do you want?"

If you change a person, you will only think that the change in the momentum of the shopkeeper in an instant is your own illusion, and you will not think that he has anything unique.

"I don't have what I want. Su Bingnan said.

A flattering smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper, and said, "Hey, childe, you can say it wrong, although this shop is not big, the daily necessities needed by ordinary people are still complete." ”

"Do you have a floating slaughterhouse here?"

The shopkeeper's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity, and said with a smile: "Futu? But ......"

He looked at Su Bingnan and said, "We have a thing called calculus here, I wonder if Gongzi has heard of it?"

When Su Bingnan heard calculus, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "I've also heard of linear algebra. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, the look on his face changed suddenly

"Wangjianglou, Wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou is eternal, Jiangliu is eternal. Su Bingnan said this slowly.

"Printing the moon well, printing the moon shadow, printing the moon shadow in the printing moon well, the moon well for ten thousand years, the moon shadow for ten thousand years. The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, with a solemn expression, and his body bowed slightly towards Su Bingnan.

Su Bingnan said without thinking: "Saishitai, Saishicai, Saishitai, Saishitai, Shitai, poetry." ”

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper looked at Su Bingnan respectfully, and immediately said: "Futu is in the abyss, 'Peng Chengjia' meets your lord." ”

As he spoke, he was about to bend down and salute, but as soon as he made a move, he was supported by Su Bingnan and said, "People come and go here, don't salute." ”

Every Futu Wei has only a code name, and the city where he is located is his code name, and the code name of the person in front of him is "Peng Chengjia".

The Futu Guards are all over the capitals of Dahao, and basically every important city will have traces of the Futu Guards. There are strict rules on its code name, the person in charge of the city is coded with the name of the city, and the rest of his subordinates are added in order according to the size of their authority.

Such a code name, although not loud, is undoubtedly simple, effective and easy to implement.

The code name of the shopkeeper in front of him is "Peng Chengjia".

Once you enter the Futu Guard, you will no longer have a name, and from then on the code name is the name.

When a city's Futu Wei secretly contacts, he will only be referred to by a code name, even if he knows the other party's current name, it is fake, and the name on his household registration is not his real name.

The shopkeeper glanced outside the door, pretended to be normal, and said, "Childe was originally going to talk about big business, wait, the shopkeeper is coming soon." ”

The two waited silently, and after a while, a man with a small hat came here, he was about fifty years old, he was stunned for a moment after seeing Su Bingnan and the shopkeeper, and then quickly reacted and nodded to the two.

He's the treasurer.

The shopkeeper instructed "Peng Chengjia" for two sentences, and then said to Su Bingnan: "Let's discuss this business later." ”

The shopkeeper led Su Bingnan to the small courtyard in the rear, and as soon as he arrived, Su Bingnan's body changed, he pulled up more than two inches, took off the mask on his face, and returned to his original appearance.

He hadn't been the same all the way he had been, and he was only now recovering.

The shopkeeper also changed his posture, turned around and bowed to Su Bingnan, and said, "'Pengcheng' has seen Futu. ”

Su Bingnan looked at "Peng Cheng", sighed with some emotion, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The "Peng Cheng" in front of him is old, and his temples have jagged white hair.

With gratitude and a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, the shopkeeper bent his back slightly and said, "The subordinates are old, but the adults are still so young." ”

Looking at the old "Pengcheng" in front of him, Su Bingnan looked up at the sky and said, "I can't wait long for Dahao to have a big change, and I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

The shopkeeper understood the meaning of Su Bingnan's words, and said: "This stall in Xuzhou is about to be completely rotten, and Pengcheng still retains its superficial prosperity, but out of this Pengcheng, it is miserable outside." ”

As the capital of Xuzhou, Pengcheng, no matter how many hungry people there are, no matter how expensive the food is, the city still retains the most basic dignity and retains the title of "Imperial Ancient City".

Pengcheng is the hometown of Peng Zu, who has lived for hundreds of years, and is also the hometown of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty.

During the melee of the princes a thousand years ago, the capital of the overlord Xu was in Pengcheng, and after many years, the Great Qin beheaded all the princes, and Pengcheng at that time was almost destroyed and turned into ruins......

The thousand-year-old imperial capital has been reduced to ruins several times, and has become the capital of a country several times.

Xuzhou nationality of several dynasties emperors.

And now, despite the bleak scene in the whole of Xuzhou, Pengcheng, known as the city of emperors, still maintains its former prosperity.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Bingnan and said, "No matter how Dahao changes, wherever the adult points to, I will run." ”

Shaking his head and throwing away his thoughts, Su Bingnan asked, "What is the price of grain in Pengcheng?"

The shopkeeper sighed, and wrinkles immediately appeared on his face, "Grain merchants are stockpiling grain, and grain prices are still high, and many people in the city have taken out their family funds and are struggling to support them. ”

"It's like cutting leeks. The shopkeeper made a knife-wielding motion: "All the leeks in that stubble have been cut." ”

"Who raised the scythe?" asked Su Bingnan.

The shopkeeper said: "The grain merchant is the sickle, including the Xiao family, and the deep-rooted families in Xuzhou are the ones who hold the sickle. But in the final analysis, the assassin Shi Liang Quanneng and the officials up and down Xuzhou, who commanded the knife-wielding people, contributed the least and made a lot of profits. ”

In times of famine, grain merchants will take the opportunity to stock up on grain to make a profit.

The situation in Xuzhou is a little different, for this kind of behavior of grain merchants, the government should have vigorously suppressed it in the past, but now, all the forces in Xuzhou are actually colluding to harvest "leeks".

Listening to what "Peng Cheng" said, Su Bingnan said: "I didn't expect the situation here to be so complicated, I'm afraid what you know is only the tip of the iceberg." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "My lord is right, only a family like the Xiao family, which is usually public, has revealed some information, and most of the other families in Xuzhou are very low-key and do not show the mountain dew." ”

Su Bingnan said: "Although there are wealthy families now, they are not as strong as in ancient times, and Liang Quanneng, the assassin of Xuzhou, is the biggest promoter behind the scenes, and he is also the person with the most power in Xuzhou." ”

Both of them know that in terms of influence, those families who have been in Xuzhou for many years have been deeply rooted, the so-called thorn history of flowing water, and the squire of iron.

But as a history of assassination, Liang Quanneng nominally represents the government and represents the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, and he occupies the general trend and the greatest power, such an identity and power cannot be compared with any family in Xuzhou.

If the grain merchants did not have Liang Quanneng's acquiescence and participation, Xuzhou would not have been in the scene of mourning all over the wilderness today, and of course, Liang Quanneng would not have been able to accumulate the silver that people in the know secretly speculated.

"Well, it's not too early. Su Bingnan glanced at the sky and said, "It's time for me to go." ”

He's got the information he wants.

The shopkeeper nodded and said softly, "Slow down, adult." ”

Su Bingnan walked towards the front store, stopped halfway through, turned his head and asked, "'Pengcheng'...... What kind of people are my parents?"

Without waiting for his answer, or looking at the expression on the other party's face, Su Bingnan quickly whispered again: "Forget it, the past is in the past." ”

After speaking, Su Bingnan walked into the front store, changed his posture in an instant, put the mask on his face for some time, glanced at the curious "Peng Chengjia", smiled at him, and then walked into the street, not entering the crowd.

"Peng Cheng" stood in place for a long time before sighing.
