As for how Qu Ruhai and others could leave Mangzhou quickly, he had his own way, and He Lingchuan didn't ask much.
Qu Ruhai's subordinates said from the side: "On the second day after the incident, the Mangzhou government posted a wanted notice, offering a reward of one hundred taels of gold for the murderers of General Xue Zongwu and the head of the Qi family. Anyone who provides useful clues will receive a reward of one hundred taels of gold!"
"Wow!" The businessmen in yellow were surprised, "You need a hundred taels of gold to find a clue?"
The businessman in white said: "This is a big deal."
The businessman in yellow was curious: "Are these two really, really harmed by Emperor Jiuyou?"
His companion said he didn't believe it. Qu Ruhai's status was extraordinary, so his credibility was certainly higher.
"I made a special trip to Xiaotaoshan Villa and saw the Beishan Hall where Xue Zongwu fought with the enemy. There was indeed a relief sculpture of a dragon head at the entrance of the hall. There was no trace of the carver. It is said that it was where Emperor Jiuyou had done some work.
Mark." He raised his neck like the sea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't you Yao people always say that the Black Armored Army doesn't dare to kill Yao people? I'll kill them for you to see! Not only kill them, but also kill the most important ones. Haha, is that a slap in the face?"
The two businessmen looked embarrassed.
Dong Rui only asked what he cared about: "How come the Emperor Jiuyou you are talking about has black pants and a black face?"
He asked, looking at He Lingchuan and laughing.
He Lingchuan just thought he was crazy and went to eat barbecue.
Well, this crocodile meat has a different flavor when grilled.
The two businessmen were even more embarrassed. The businessman in white coughed twice: "The rumors we heard, what was said in the teahouse and what was performed in the theater troupe, are all dressed like this."
"It doesn't sound very majestic." Dong Rui stroked his chin, "How did you act?"
"This..." the two businessmen looked at each other, "I don't understand. It's best to hear it with your own ears."
Dong Rui rolled his eyes: "Where is the best place to listen?"
"Going a hundred feet west of this street, you'll find the Tianyan Teahouse." The businessman in white said, "There are gold medal storytellers there who are good at telling all kinds of anecdotes."
He Lingchuan asked Qu Ruhai: "Have Clan Chief Qu ever fought against General Xue?"
Qu Ruhai scratched his neck: "Why do you ask?"
Dong Rui answered quickly: "We want to know what level the leader of the Black Armored Army is like?"
"Xue Zong has profound martial arts training and excellent combat skills. He is one of the few truly capable generals in the Yao Kingdom." Qu Ruhai threw a piece of beef on his stove, which made a sizzle and smoke, "I will fight with him."
twice."
Businessmen are also curious: "What's the result?"
Qu Ruhai shrugged: "The battlefield is very complicated and I can't explain it clearly."
This is thought-provoking.
The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms smiled: "It sounds like Xue Zongwu has the upper hand, otherwise this man would be so proud and bragging."
Qu Ruhai drank the last two sips of wine, wiped his mouth and stood up:
"Then Emperor Jiuyou is really good at choosing people. There will be a lot of excitement in Tianshui City next."
He didn't say much to the four of them, turned around and left the small courtyard.
It wasn't until the three Luodian people's backs disappeared at the street corner that the two businessmen heaved a sigh of relief. Qu Ruhai's aura was fierce, and it was so stressful to face him.
The businessman in yellow whispered: "These Luodian people are gloating about misfortune."
The two tables chatted for a while and exchanged contact information. The businessman in white was named Zhu Xuanmiao, and his companion was named Wang Hao.
The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has become famous in the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plains, but few people know about it in the Yao Kingdom. Wang Hao said "Jiu Yang", and even Dong Rui saw that he was just being polite, but Zhu Xuanmiao said: "My relationship with you
The Xiancheng Branch of the Chamber of Commerce has done business, and Yangshan’s exclusive fluorescent spores are hard currency here, and we can sell them as much as we buy.”
Wang Hao wondered: "It turns out that the fluorescent spores came from Shanxi? Nowadays, officials and big families are using them."
Fluorescent spores swell and glow when exposed to water. They are usually less than the size of an egg. They are easy to store and transport. They are Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's top products sold around the world.
"I'm honored to meet the leader of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. I'm sorry!" The exchange between the two parties suddenly became enthusiastic.
After talking with each other, we found out that Zhu Xuanmiao's business is to deal with procurement from government agencies. He has some connections with various government agencies and offices in the south of Tianshui City, as well as the rich and powerful.
In Tianshui City, as long as you can tie up with official procurement, you will be a big business that will make you rich. Zhu Xuanmiao promised with confidence that he could sell Yangshan's goods to the official. He Lingchuan was able to roast two plates of meat before the deal was concluded with him.
Two transactions.
When the atmosphere was harmonious, He Lingchuan asked casually: "Brother Zhu and Brother Wang, have you ever heard of Tu Yuanhong's name?"
"Oh, Tonglin Ji." Zhu Xuanmiao nodded repeatedly, "I know, he has many properties in Tianshui City, and I have dealt with him."
"I want to visit Mr. Tu, but I don't know what souvenirs I should bring?"
Zhu Xuanmiao groaned: "Well... Tu Yuanhong has passed away. I heard that he was killed in his village."
He Lingchuan looked surprised, and Dong Rui sighed inwardly: "When did it happen?"
"A few months ago, let me think about it...oh, I heard about it four months ago."
He Lingchuan nodded. Tu Yuanhong was killed six months ago, and Zhu Xuanmiao heard about it four months ago. The speed was not slow anymore. After all, the incident happened not in Tianshui City. This guy is not just making up empty talk, he does have some channels for information.
"You said he was killed? Who did this?"
Zhu Xuanmiao snorted: "Everyone said that it was an enemy who came to visit."
He Lingchuan saw that he still didn't finish his sentence: "The rumors in the market are not credible, what does Brother Zhu say?"
Zhu Xuanmiao scratched behind his ears, looked around, and hesitated before saying: "Whatever, everyone is dead anyway, so there's no harm in talking about it. The news I got is that Tu Yuanhong was shrewd in his life but was confused for a moment, and actually got in the way.
The Qi family’s business!”
Wang Haodu groaned: "How come I haven't heard of it?"
Zhu Xuanmiao took a sip of wine and said with some pride: "Is this something you can talk about casually? If you don't have any information channels, all you will hear are rumors."
"Qi family? General Xue's father-in-law's family?"
"Isn't that right?" Zhu Xuanmiao sighed, "Tonglin Ji has been prospering in recent years, just because Chairman Tu made such a mistake. It's a pity."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Lingchuan immediately said: "President Tu passed away, what should I do about Tonglin Ji?"
"What else can be done? His whole family was killed, and he had no heirs. The Tonglinji collapsed immediately. The money, shop, people, and property were all divided up, and only one main store was left.
The inn and carriage business are in business. But some people in Tianshui City are deliberately suppressing it, and they are also having a hard time. I don’t know how long they can survive.”
No need for He Lingchuan to ask, Wang Hao couldn't help but be curious: "I remember that Tonglinji was not closed. By the way, other shops are closed, why is this one still there?"
"That's Tu Yuanhong's old associate Gu Lin. He's been with him since he opened his trading company and made his first business. Maybe he's reluctant to let Tonglinji close down." Zhu Xuanmiao shook his head, "There are many people who want to buy Tonglinji.
, maybe Gulin is also waiting for a higher bid."
Everyone was a little sad.
Zhu Xuanmiao and his wife had had enough wine and food, and when the rain stopped, they said goodbye and left.
Looking at the two merchants leaving, Dong Rui exclaimed: "This guy surnamed Zhu is talking nonsense, are you really doing business with him?"
"How can you tell?" He Lingchuan took a mouthful of vanilla yogurt to relieve his tiredness.
The local yogurt is called yogurt, which is in the form of solidified cream and very rich. It has been a long time since he has eaten yogurt, let alone one with vanilla added.
Just two bites can relieve the greasiness of meat.
"The material of his clothes is good, and the hangings around his waist are also a bit...tasteful." Dong Rui's eyes were also very poisonous, "But the meat and vegetables he and his companions ordered were not expensive, and the pancakes weighed two kilograms. At first glance,
I just want to fill my belly."
In this kind of restaurant, there are expensive ways to eat, and there are cheap ways to eat. The so-called frugality depends on people.
"And he has always been eloquent and boasted about his abilities." Dong Rui shook his head, "How can someone who is truly capable have any need to be so boastful?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Even if he is just a small businessman, he still has some skills in government procurement, and he also knows Tianshui City quite well."
The branch of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has not yet been opened in Tianshui City. It is currently in the preparatory stage. This means that He Lingchuan has not yet established a reliable base in Tianshui City.
When collecting intelligence and carrying out operations here, we are faced with the problem of insufficient manpower and insufficient sources of information.
But he still has a tough battle to fight next, and he will need to use any available force.
Besides, he is a businessman and will not let go of any favorable business opportunities.
Dark clouds had just fallen over the city, but now the sky has cleared after the rain, and the yard is filled with the smell of mud.
He Lingchuan stood up to pay the bill, and then said: "How about going to Tianyan Teahouse to listen to a book?"
"Let's go."
Tianshui City has been so lively recently. It’s already past dinner time, but the Tianyan Teahouse is still full of people. People are talking about business, reminiscing about old times, chatting about family affairs, and playing chess... Of course, more people come here to listen to books to relieve their boredom.
, to kill a boring afternoon.
But the stage was still empty, and the storyteller was moistening his throat.
He Lingchuan sat down and ordered a pot of chrysanthemum-scented tea. He had just eaten a barbecue and wanted some herbal tea to clear his mouth and relieve tiredness.
As soon as I inquired about it, I found out that the person who was about to start the lecture was none other than the mainstay here, the gold medal storyteller of Tianyan Tea House.
Dong Rui wanted to hear what the local storyteller said about the Black Armor Army, so he threw half a tael of silver on the waiter's tray: "Give me some questions, Emperor Jiuyou!"
The uncle who gives the reward can ask questions. Whatever he wants to hear, the storyteller can tell.
The guy bent down and quickly sent it over.
The storyteller accepted the reward, bowed his hand to Dong Rui, straightened his clothes again, then shook his clothes and sat down with his big horse and golden sword.
He coughed twice, and the surroundings became quiet, knowing that he was about to open his voice.
"The old man at the window asks the question, Emperor Jiuyou!"
This storyteller's voice is not pure and a bit high-pitched, but he grasps the ups and downs of the rhythm quite well, not inferior to Fu Liushan.
He Lingchuan happened to take a sip of tea when he heard that the scholar started:
"Let's pick up the next one! Let's talk about Emperor Jiuyou and his concubine in the eighteenth room..."
"Pfft", He Lingchuan couldn't hold it back and spit out all the tea in his mouth.
