At the leather goods market in Qiuci, a man wearing a pointed felt hat squeezed into the crowd. He raised the collar of his Hufu to cover his thin face. He looked back and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then walked around the alley.
, standing outside the back door of the leather goods store.
The man gently knocked on the door five times, and the sound of footsteps could be heard in the yard. A waiter opened the door and bowed respectfully to the man with crossed arms: "Alang, you're back."
The man nodded expressionlessly and walked in front of him in a familiar manner, with the waiter carefully accompanying him behind him. He entered through the back door, climbed the stairs to the second floor of the fur shop, stood in front of the window of the pavilion, and looked at the frozen people gathered at the door of the shop.
A customer who is a grown-up dog but is bargaining with his throat.
He sneered contemptuously and said to the shop owner who had been waiting in the room for a long time: "Raise the price by another 10%."
The shop owner opened his mouth in surprise: "Is it still going up? Ah Lang, this is really dangerous. Some soldiers came to make trouble today and almost beat up all the waiters."
The man chuckled coldly: "They're just a few stinky shrimps, they can't make any big waves. Don't worry, you can raise the price. I'll take care of anything you need."
He sat cross-legged on the carpet, took off his felt hat from his head, put the collar of his Hufu on his shoulders, stretched out his hand and pulled the black mustache off his lips, puckered his lips in pain, and exposed
An annoying little white face.
This is Xiao Ting, the official in charge of the Anxi Protector's Office. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but no one could have imagined that Xiao Ting owns the largest leather goods store in Qiuci City.
The temperature in Anxi this year was much colder than usual, and many soldiers in the army suffered from frostbite. Xiao Ting, who was the first to get the news, joined the army and immediately seized this business opportunity to make a fortune. He asked his store to be the first to raise prices and sell sheepskin jackets.
With more than 700 yuan, he can be called the strongest merchant seeking huge profits.
"That's right." He turned around and told the shop owner: "Find a few more reliable people in the city who know everything about it, and prepare a sum of money for them."
"Recently, a store is opening in Qiuci City. They want to sell cotton-padded jackets and quilts that can replace sheepskin and wool. They are trying to force us to lower our prices at very low prices. You tell these people to buy them for me! Buy all these quilts and quilts.
Light, hoard it in our hands, and when they sell out, we will raise the price aggressively."
Xiao Ting gritted her teeth and sneered: "You want to squeeze me out? I asked you to die without knowing how you died!"
He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly turned around and asked, "My cousin, Lu Qian, does he know this place?"
"He has been to our store, but he didn't know that you opened this store."
"Very good," he said, pointing with two fingers in the air: "Don't let him know that this bastard is more likely than not to succeed. Don't let him spoil our affairs."
I don’t know if it’s his blessing or his misfortune to have such a cousin. Anyway, having such a brainless person can give him a lot of sense of superiority.
It seems that Li Siye's sudden enemy was provoked by his cousin Lu Qian.
…
Li Siye held the quilt and walked side by side with Cao Zhenqing on the straight road of the Duhu Mansion. He had many doubts in his heart. The biggest doubt came from Xiao Ting, who participated in the military affairs recorder.
"Who is this Xiao Ting? I don't seem to know him. Why did you keep baring your teeth at me just now as if I owed him money?"
"Xiao joined the army as a Jinshi. I have never heard of him having any background. However, he has a very good mind. He can figure out the thoughts of his superiors better than ordinary people. He is also more arrogant and stronger than ordinary people."
"Damn, he's so strong that I can't bear it. I resisted the urge to beat him two or three times just now. Unfortunately, the Protector and General Gao are there, so I can only hold it in."
Cao Zhenqing also felt something strange, nodded and said: "Xiao Canjun is very polite to others, and he usually makes enemies with others. Why when he met you... maybe he was out of public interest."
“You’re a public-minded person!”
Li Siye muttered something and cursed, then asked Cao Zhenqing: "Cao Canjun, can you tell me some details about Xiao Ting? I would like to pull his pigtails."
Cao Zhenqing was a little unhappy, maybe he thought Li Siye was too jealous, but he still said: "I'm not familiar with Xiao Shenjun, so I don't know his details, but he does have a cousin named Lu Qian, who serves as a guard in the Duhu Mansion.
Travel rate.”
Sure enough, this is a nest of snakes and rats, and I finally know where the source of hatred lies. However, this situation is too abnormal. It stands to reason that Lu Qian offended him first, and Xiao Ting will not be involved in the quilt matter.
He would not let go. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that Lu Qian had any public intentions. It must be against his own interests.
With this thought in mind, Li Siye asked: "Does this Xiaoting have its own shop in Qiuci City? Or is it a trading company?"
"No." Cao Zhenqing nodded firmly: "As far as I know, Xiao Ting joined the army and was an honest official. He never bought private property. Apart from a house in the north of Qiuci City, he has nothing else."
Cao Zhenqing smiled generously: "I know his words and actions just now were a bit intense, but you can't make rash guesses and maliciously slander others."
"There is no way I am slandering him. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to find out Zi Wu Mao Chou."
People can't be so selfish that they think others are not selfish. In Cao Zhenqing's view, Xiao Ting is an honest and kind official, but Li Siye sees another side in him. This is enough to show the sinister nature of this person. If this kind of person has a public heart, I, Li Siye, will
He can become a saint. If I don't kill him, how can I still live in Anxi in the future?
There is no useful information available from Cao Zhenqing, so he should hurry up and complete the things he promised to protect.
…
The Persian Suhrab was wrapped in a fur and drinking wine at his home, with firewood crackling in the fireplace. Five exotic beauties with high noses and deep eyes gathered around him, and they used their fragrant lips as drinking utensils.
A game where you take turns feeding your husband.
I have to say that wealthy people in Persia know how to play.
Su He's housekeeper hurried over and opened the door curtain. Seeing such a ridiculous and fragrant scene, he hurriedly raised his hands to cover his sleeves and said calmly: "Sir, there is someone visiting outside."
"No! It's freezing cold. I don't want to see the guests."
"Oh, this guest has a bad temper and is not easy to mess with."
"who is it?"
"The same one last time, who bought the seeds and kidnapped you to Congling!"
The lady draped in red gauze crossed her arms, hugged Su He's shoulders, opened her lips and was drinking wine. Su He's heart suddenly trembled, and he coughed violently, causing the lady to squirt wildly, and filled the cup with wine.
A mouthful of grape wine sprayed all over Su He.
"Oh, Alang, let me change your clothes!"
The lady pulled the silk and rubbed it wildly on his body. Su He pushed her away with an ouch, pointed at the ladies around him and said angrily: "You guys! Hurry up and go upstairs!"
"We don't!"
Su He shouted in a low voice: "If you are disobedient, the messenger who will come later is a rude pervert and will kidnap you to Congling. You will be scolded by the sky and the earth in the snow and ice.
The earth doesn’t work!”
The ladies' pretty faces turned pale, and they quickly covered their faces with their narrow sleeves and hurriedly retreated.
But at this time, Li Siye had already kicked in the door. The lady who was left behind screamed and ran upstairs as if she was hiding from a ghost.
Why are they afraid of me? Li Siye took this issue into consideration flawlessly, pointed at Suhrab and said directly: "I have a business that I need you to help me with."
