The three Zhao Luoyang siblings followed the two merchants until they found the inn where they stayed.
"Sister," Zhao Yuan gave way, "should we go find dad and the others?"
After inquiring about the news, it was logical that they should meet, but Zhao Luoyang did not forget one thing.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Go back to 'Ke Yun Lai' and tell the shopkeeper before sending the guests to the inn."
Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji didn't know why.
Zhao Luoyang said: "You have been busy for a long time today, and you have attracted many guests to the restaurant. The shopkeeper may not be able to give you any benefits."
Now that we have heard the news, all the hard work we have put in will not be in vain.
When Zhao Yuanrang heard this, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Yuanji: "Hurry up, the restaurant will be closed soon."
The two children were panting and ran back to the restaurant to report the news. As expected, the shopkeeper had prepared money. Each of them gave ten coins and said with a smile: "If you are still in the city these days, you can come and help like today."
Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji thanked each other. The small purses around their waists were heavy. Each of them had about thirty or forty coins. When they walked back, their steps were light and graceful.
It’s good to follow Sister A to do things, so every time they go out, Yuan Bao will stare at them eagerly.
When the Zhao Luoyang siblings arrived at the market entrance, Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing were already waiting. Seeing the relaxed expression on Zhao Luoyang's face, Zhao Xueli breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
"Let's go back and talk," Zhao Xueli looked around and said, "It's getting dark. There are more and more people patrolling. I just took one away for questioning."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Dad, which way we go, there is an inn that I can point out to you. You and your third uncle will have to come over tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xueli didn't ask anything else and nodded immediately.
Several people passed by the inn and then returned to Didian smoothly.
Luo Zhenniang supported Mrs. Yang and was already looking out in the yard. She was relieved when she saw that several people had returned safely.
"Come in!" Old Mrs. Yang said, "Many people have taken a break."
Everyone gathered in Mr. Song's house. Zhao Xuejing and Song Er brought a few bowls of water. They had been busy outside for a long time and their mouths were already dry. They drank the water in one go and began to talk about their respective gains.
Zhao Xueli said: "We met a lot of caravans on East Street. There were as many as a dozen people and as few as six or seven. They were all buying and selling sundries. They were coming and going in a hurry. I couldn't see anything strange, but there were some.
There are a few people who come and go alone, with one or two attendants, they don't buy or sell anything, they just walk around the east city at will, I think we need to start the investigation from these people."
Zhao Luoyang looked at Zhao Xueli: "Have you ever found out what those merchants who come and go alone are doing here?"
Zhao Xueli shook his head: "We also paid attention and followed them, but we didn't hear them say anything important."
Zhao Luoyang said: "We heard some news in the restaurant. Two businessmen who had drunk too much said that they came to Minzhou to see something 'good for their heads'."
Mr. Song's eyes lit up when he heard "Hao Tou Chi": "'Hao Tou Chi'?"
Zhao Luoyang knew what "Haotou Chi" was from Shi Jiu, but couldn't explain it right away. Fortunately, Mr. Song was knowledgeable and had such a man who knew everything, who helped her a lot overtly and secretly.
When you encounter problems, just blame it on Mr. Song.
Mr. Song explained: "The so-called 'Haotou Chi' is a kind of sacred horse. I have only seen pictures of horses in the past. The horse looks very strong. It was the emperor's royal horse in the previous dynasty."
"It is said that this kind of horse is quite spiritual. Even the eagle in the sky can't beat it when it comes to running. It is hard to buy for a lot of money, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes."
Zhao Luoyang asked: "Is there really such a horse?"
Mr. Song stroked his beard: "They are all exaggerations. There are also some dignitaries in this dynasty who keep some good horses. They are indeed different from ordinary horses. Everyone knows in their hearts that no one can ask for a real 'good head red', but
Having something to do with this horse is enough to make people pay a lot of money to buy it back."
“Now that ‘Hao Touchi’ is so powerful, so many people are coveting it. It seems that the price of good horses will rise sharply again this year. Maybe horses like ‘Hao Touchi’ will be sold.”
Mr. Song stopped talking and kept thinking in his mind: "There is indeed a problem in Minzhou." It seemed that no matter what, he had to find a way to stay here.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Tomorrow, my father and uncle will have to keep an eye on the two people I mentioned to see where they are going. I think there will definitely be something to gain."
Zhao Xueli nodded, so Sister Luo took them to the inn on her way back. Tomorrow Yuan Rang would also be able to recognize those two people, so they only had to follow them and no longer have to search around without clues.
Mr. Song looked at Zhao Luoyang and said, "When you go to see Judge Qin Tong, wear your old clothes to hide your shame in front of others."
Zhao Xueli didn't understand. Mr. Song and Sister Luo had to go see Mr. Qin tomorrow, so why did they dress like this?
Zhao Luoyang knew it very well, and said to Shi Jiu in his mind: "It seems that Mr. Qin is quite prejudiced against Mr., but since my younger brother is Mr.'s disciple, he always has to help with this."
Otherwise, with Mr.’s temperament, he would never let others laugh at him for accepting a disciple with mediocre qualifications.
Shi Jiu said: "Letting you hide your clumsiness is also to understand you. If others relax their vigilance, you can act secretly."
The old man and the young man have finally figured this out.
After discussing it, everyone went back to rest.
Luo Zhenniang went to spread the bedding on the kang. Today they had extra bedding. The adults couldn't take care of it, but it was enough for the elderly and children.
Ge Shi said while helping: "It went quite smoothly?"
Luo Zhenniang nodded: "It sounds like she has some features."
Ge Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone said that it was dangerous to come here, but the life at present is easy. If everything goes smoothly in the future, I will kowtow to the Bodhisattva a hundred times."
Who says it's not the case? After walking through this journey, being afraid and overcoming this difficulty, you will really be able to feel at ease.
"I also went to talk to other families in the store," Ge said. "They spent five taels of silver each to move in. We are sixteen households. Do you know how much we saved? Eighty taels of silver! I didn't even have it.
I’ve never seen so much money.”
"Besides, someone in their family died. I heard that when we encountered bandits, we were all well behaved. Everyone is very envious."
Ge Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Our sister Luo is still capable. In the future, our father and uncle will regret it if they find out about it."
Old Mrs. Yang said: "What do those two beasts do with them? You have to develop your own skills." One tael of silver was exchanged for eighty taels, what else is your skill? Tonight, we will make some old bedding and clothes to eat.
More than one tael of silver!
Zhao Luoyang, Zhao Yuanrang, and Zhao Yuanji had washed themselves and were lying on the kang.
Since the journey, the children have been together. The men and women were separated from Mrs. Yang, the lights were out, and the sound of copper coins could still be heard from Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji.
The two of them held their money bags and counted them several times.
"Milk," Zhao Yuanbao held Old Mrs. Yang back, "I also...want to..."
Old Mrs. Yang couldn't help but smile and said: "No need to be anxious, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Luo Zhenniang and Ge Shi couldn't sleep on the kang. They were prepared to be in trouble before entering the city. Who knew they could live in a place like Didian.
"Milk," Zhao Luoyang said, "is it warm?"
Old Mrs. Yang said: "This is not good, what else do you need? But it is good to have good bedding, but I always feel that it is not much better than our meadow."
Zhao Xueli, who was on the ground, said, "No, our meadow is also soft."
Zhao Luoyang smiled. The weather was getting colder and colder. A few days ago, she exchanged a moisture-proof pad and stuffed it into the meadow. She gave it to her at night. Her breasts were comfortable with the moisture-proof pad.
Mrs. Yang's little snore sounded, and Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji stopped counting their money.
Zhao Luoyang closed her eyes and thought of the little mute again in a daze. She didn't know why, but she always dreamed of the little mute recently. She dreamed that the little mute gave her a piece of candy.
In his mind, Shi Jiu was listening to the movement in the room and was about to rest his mind.
The health value on his body suddenly jumped.
【Health value 2】
【Health value 2】
…
Shi Jiu looked at the increasing health points and felt that Zhao Luoyang was sleeping soundly. Could it be that she was also a duplicitous person? She would only help him increase his health points in his dreams?
…
The Qin family in Min County.
Qin Tongping came back from Taozhou at noon. He entered the house and changed his clothes. He just sat on a chair and took a sip of tea. Before he could ask about the situation at home these past two days, the steward came in to report.
"Sir, the people from the government office brought a card with your name, saying that several relocated people came to the city to see you."
Qin Tongpan was a little surprised. He didn't send many name cards, and the other party was relocation...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qin Tongpan suddenly raised his eyebrows and remembered the letter home sent by his younger brother.
Could it be that one?
Qin Tongpan suddenly smiled. He thought that Mr. Song would never lower his head and ask for help because of his stubborn temper. At what point did he come to the door?
"Show me the name card and ask me what the person's name is? If your surname is Song, bring it over."
