Laifu came back. He was the only one who came back, and he was still injured. He was brought back by Ah Xun. Su Ren was frightened when he saw Laifu. Laifu was unconscious. He glanced at Laifu and said,
Su Ren immediately asked Manniu to invite Chun Yuyi. This was Wen Dang's bodyguard in Chang'an, and he could also be said to be Wen Dang's nephew. He had some shortcomings that he couldn't explain to the teacher.
Chunyu Yi looked at it and took his pulse, then frowned: "The flesh injury is not too serious, but the poison is very strange. I need to study it."
Su Ren asked: "Is there any solution?"
Chunyu Yi said: "There should be no fear of life. Although the poison is very overbearing, fortunately I took some antidotes at the beginning of the poisoning. Now there is only a little poison left in the body, which is just a little troublesome."
Su Ren took a long breath and saluted Chun Yuyi. He did not dare to disturb Chun Yuyi's rescue. He led A Xun and others out of Laifu's room. As soon as he left, he told Huang Shisan and Manniu not to worry about Laifu for the time being.
Tell Wen Dang that Wen Dang must be old, and if he is frightened, it is not worth it.
"Tell me what's going on?" Su Ren asked Ah Xun immediately after returning to his room.
Ah Xun said quickly: "We found it in Luoyang. As for how it was injured and poisoned, we don't know. According to the reports of Drum Shang Sao and Bai Ri Shu, people from the Mo family and Fang Xianshu all stayed in Luoyang. It can be inferred from the time
, people with Fangxian Shu are more likely to do it."
Su Ren's eyes showed a cold light: "Continue to investigate, we must find out who did it. By the way, is it only Laifu?"
Ah Xun nodded: "He was the only one when I found him, and Mo Yu wasn't around."
"Intensify surveillance on the Mo family and Fang Xianshu, use all available power, leave the others alone, the enemies in the open are not scary, the most troublesome ones are these guys who hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows!" Su Ren
Turning his head, he said to Huang Shisan: "Now you go back to Lou Guantai and tell Leng Jun and Huo Jin that Shi Bao and the others should be extra careful to prevent these guys from secretly attacking!"
Su Ren didn't want to have anything to do with these people. Even if the secret sect has not appeared much for hundreds of years, it is still deeply rooted. It is not as easy to deal with as those relatives of the emperor. These people have courage and means. The most terrifying thing is that they have no bottom line. What are they doing?
Everything depends on one's own likes and dislikes. Laifu's injury was probably a warning to Su Ren, but Su Ren decided to regard the warning as a provocation.
I sat alone in the house all night. The next day when Manniu came in with food, he was startled by Su Ren's expression. He hurriedly put down the tray in his hand, turned around and went out to get water for Su Ren to wash his face. The cold well
The water was chilling to the bone. Su Ren buried his head in it for two full minutes before blowing bubbles and raising his head. Taking a deep breath, he took the towel handed over by Man Niu and wiped the water droplets off his face.
, sat down at the table and started eating without saying a word.
The Su family was extremely quiet today, and everyone knew that the head of the family was in a bad mood. The house in Chang'an City was just a residence, and the servants and servants inside were all temporarily sold from the street, so no one told them what happened.
.
After eating, I went to the backyard to look at the blessings. Although I hadn't woken up yet, my complexion was at least much better than yesterday. Chunyu Yi also didn't sleep all night. The old man sat in the Taishi chair and took a nap with his head tilted. He stopped the apprentice from trying to kill Chun Yuyi.
After waking up, Su Ren tiptoed out of the door. Since he wanted to fight those people, he had to find a battlefield. Neither Chang'an nor Louguan was the battlefield in Su Ren's mind.
After leaving the house, he lifted his legs and got on the horse. With the reins attached, the white horse strode forward. The Su family's yard is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. This is a gathering area for merchants. Su Ren has a high reputation in the business world.
There were all familiar faces saying hello along the way. Su Ren greeted each house with a smile on his face, occasionally stopping to talk to a few businessmen he knew well.
After visiting the West Market, he dismounted and entered Cuixiang Building. Naturally, the shopkeeper knew Su Ren, so he quickly put down his work and came forward to greet him. He refused the shopkeeper's move to arrange himself into a private room, and sat down in the center of the hall with dignity.
On the table. On the stage opposite the door, a gentleman with foam at the mouth was holding a big Han newspaper and reading the text on it to the merchants in the hall. No one could understand Sima Xiangru's elegant article, so the storyteller
Sir, you also need to have your own translation function.
"...This great victory in Mayi killed 31,000 Huns, captured more than 40,000, and captured tens of thousands of horses. This great victory ensured that the Huns would not dare to go there again within ten years.
One step south, but in order to guard against the Huns, the imperial court built fortresses at Yanmen Pass and Jiayuguan respectively, using the Great Wall as protection, and sent the Northern Army to garrison Jinyang, and the Southern Army to garrison Guo State. As long as the Huns dared to come, another Mayi victory would be achieved.
,…”
"Okay...!" The people in the hall cheered for a while, and a few knowledgeable people even talked to each other, acting as if they knew everything about the important affairs of the court.
Su Ren also shouted hello, the sound was so loud that it aroused the attention of several tables nearby. A businessman with a hat on his head rolled his eyes, said hello to the people at the same table, picked up the wine bottle, stood up and came to Su Ren.
Ren sat at the table, bending down very low: "May I ask if you are Mr. Su?" He emphasized in Shuzhong, which made people feel comfortable.
Su Ren looked at the man, who hurriedly said: "The villain is also from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. He is not the first batch of merchants to join. Naturally, Mr. Su doesn't know him. He came to Chang'an last month and planned to visit Mr. Su, but later I heard
He said that my husband was in Mayi, and he had important court matters to deal with when he came back, so I didn’t dare to disturb him. I met you by chance today and came to offer you a glass of wine. Please don’t take it personally.”
Su Ren smiled and motioned for the man to sit down: "What's your name and what kind of business do you do?"
"Oh, the little man Hongcheng is a spice maker. His business is too small to get on the market. People in Shu like bacon and don't use spices very much. That's why he came to Chang'an to try his luck."
"That's right. I wonder if the spices you make are the cinnamon sent from Lingnan or..."
"The villain has some connection with people from the Western Regions, so the villain makes spices from the Western Regions. The cost is too high and it is very difficult to make. There are only a few people in the Chamber of Commerce who make spices, so it is not easy to make."
"Western Region? Are you familiar with it?"
Hong Cheng shook his head quickly: "I'm not too familiar with it. They are all people from the Western Regions delivering goods. I heard they said that bandits were rampant along the way. It was very difficult to walk. It was all a matter of life and death. The villain planned to go there the year before last and collected some goods. Just now
We ran into bandits as soon as we left Yumen Pass. Alas! I lost all my money."
Su Ren nodded, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Hong Cheng, and drank it in one gulp: "As far as I know, there are many goods in the Western Regions. Precious stones, silverware, weapons, and even horses from the Western Regions are all very good deals. Why?
You only make spices."
Hong Cheng said helplessly: "To be honest, sir, there are indeed a lot of good things. They also need the salt, cotton cloth, silk, and porcelain from us big men. Or because the road is long and there are many bandits, only spices cannot attract the interest of the bandits.
This is a good day."
Su Ren expressed his understanding, and the two of them chatted for a long time in Cuixiang Building. After Su Ren finished drinking, Hong Cheng said goodbye politely and told the shopkeeper Su Ren about the meal on the table.
It was his fault. Su Ren did not refuse and invited Hong Cheng to come and sit at home when he was free. Hong Cheng was excited and expressed his gratitude again and again before leaving happily.
After leaving Cuixiang Tower, I went to the Taixue in the south of the city. The small building built in the past has become more beautiful now. Although Taixue has declined, people still come and go. In the eyes of aristocratic families, the professors of Louguan Academy
Those things are all tricks. How can the craftsmanship of a carpenter be compared with the knowledge of a saint? The fighting between soldiers and men is not as important as the principles of governing the world, so all those studied by Taixue are outstanding children of aristocratic families.
Students from aristocratic families naturally have the same hobbies as students from aristocratic families. High-end restaurants, singing and dancing, and high-end brothels have become the most beautiful scenery outside Taixue. The merchants are all the smartest people. They will provide whatever the students need, and they can do it.
The only thing you can't imagine is that there are no standards that they can't meet. Along the way, I didn't hear any scholars, but more people were changing glasses and talking about obscene words. Su Ren instantly lost the mood to continue reading.
Chen Jiao actually lives in the small building next to Taixue. Now Taizu Dou has lost power and never goes out from home. Chen Xu, who inherited the title of Marquis of Tangyi, is lame on one leg and is still rampant in Chang'an City.
No one pays attention to the Chen family. They have become grasshoppers after the autumn. They are just waiting for the death of Mrs. Dou. Chen Xu will not have a few good days. The reason why the Chen family is not touched now is entirely due to the emperor's aunt.
face.
Chen Jiao lost a lot of weight, and lost her beard and looked even thinner. Chen Jiao was very happy to see Su Ren, and embarrassedly invited Su Ren to sit in his small building. Since they were acquaintances, it was difficult to refuse, so she followed Chen Jiao
We entered his small building. The small building was really small. After three or five people came in, it felt like there was no room to stand. Chen Jiao personally served Su Ren tea.
"Longlihou has always lived here?"
Chen Jiao nodded: "Although it's a little messy, at least I have my own place, so I feel comfortable living here."
Su Ren understood Chen Jiao's mood very well, so he didn't ask any more questions and took a sip of tea. Chen Jiao laughed: "Brother Su is so prosperous now. When I first saw Brother Su, I felt that Brother Su was not an ordinary person.
, Today I feel that Brother Su is even more extraordinary, but it’s a pity that I don’t have that blessing. If mother and eldest brother could have made a good relationship with Brother Su, we would have had a different kind of fun drinking tea today.”
Su Ren smiled: "Longlihou is my friend. I still remember that Longlihou was the first to come to me to buy the house here in Taixue! This friendship will never be forgotten."
Chen Jiao clasped her fists and thanked her: "Brother Su is a person who misses old friendships. If anything good happens in the future, I hope that Brother Su will remember it. They say that Brother Su is the God of Business. I, a worried person, also want to get involved with Su."
Brother’s light, I wonder if it’s okay?”
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed, then said to Chen Jiao mysteriously: "There happens to be a good thing, I wonder if Long Xihou is interested?" (To be continued)
