Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 589. Chapter 588.

Yu Qun, market.

"What? Five cents and two? Old Zhang, are you crazy? Could it be that your chickens pull out golden eggs?"

Li Zhen was carrying a vegetable basket, looking at the seemingly honest and honest old man in front of him, his eyes were full of absurdity:

"When Pindao came to buy from you for the first time, chickens cost three pennies. And then you only paid two pennies a few days? Five pennies!? Are you bullying Pindao and not a local!?"

"Aiyo, aiyo~ Daoist priest, you can't say that."

The honest man had a smile on his face:
"How dare the old man bully the Taoist priest? Even if he won't be killed by a ghost in the future! It's just..."

He lowered his voice, put his head in front of Li Zhen, and there was a taste of wild onions in his mouth:

"Daoist, we can do business with those refugees outside these days. The Taoist also knows that they have been sleeping outside for a few months, let alone chickens. If it weren't for the kindness of the county magistrate, even Shi Zier I can’t even eat them. So when the ban is lifted, there is a need for things every day, such as fish, meat, chickens, etc., as many as there are... The chickens raised by the old man’s family are almost unable to lay eggs. At this price... It is inevitable that it will be higher. The son of the old man over there sells six coins."

"Uh……"

Hearing this explanation, Li Zhen picked six eggs into the vegetable basket and asked:
"Is the market open over there?"

"Yes..."

Old man Zhang nodded slightly:

"But it's not considered the opening of the market, it's just... we can deal with those people. I heard from others that there may be a wine shop there in the future. It is said that the county magistrate opened the wine shop! Didn't the Taoist find out? There are fewer sellers in the market today, so they all go there. The same things are [-]% to [-]% more expensive than ours. If the old man didn’t feel sorry for you regular customers, all the chickens They were all sent over there."

"This……"

While pondering, Li Zhen counted fifteen copper coins from his cuff and handed them over.

Fifteen copper coins and six eggs.

This price...is really insane.

It's no wonder that the price of Yuqian's goods has risen so much these days. After a long time... Cui Qian allowed the people in the city to do business with those refugees?

understand.

Stimulate the economy.

This is the same as a mine suddenly opened in a remote mountainous area. There are a large number of workers in the mine, and the village next to it does not open a supermarket. It is the same reason that pushing a tricycle to sell small food every day can make some extra money.

The money that is thrown out will flow back again.

Gee.

Cui Gan's brain is really good.

It's really impossible not to admit it.

Even, from the old man's words just now, Li Zhen could tell that those wine shops must be run by the Cui family.

And the drinks must be more expensive than outside.

For the entertainment of these refugees, if there is tension and relaxation, the nerves will not be so tense.

Maybe I can get some news.

Maybe, maybe a big gathering area will be formed there in the future.

Gee.

The Taoist shook his head with emotion,

But at the next moment, he suddenly stopped, and looked towards a wine shop next to the bustling market.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a gray-clothed man with an ordinary face stared straight at him.

After confirming that Li Zhen saw him, he cupped his hands first, then turned his head to signal Li Zhen to come over, and then went straight into the tea shop.

Baiqisi?
Li Zhen was a little surprised, but also a little puzzled.

After following into the teahouse, he saw the other party standing on the second floor looking at him.

And the waiter who was standing not far away seemed to pretend that he hadn't seen him, and didn't raise his eyelids.

Li Zhen followed the man up to the second floor and entered a private room.

Before he could speak, he saw this ordinary man bowing his hands to him:

"Sijiuyi, I have met Taoist Priest Shouchu."

Li Zhen knew that the Baiqisi under Lord Huqiu's command was named after Tiangandizhi. Seeing that his identity was confirmed, he handed over directly:
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, I don't know what is the matter with General Baiqi looking for the poor Taoist?"

Sijiu nodded, and pulled out a bamboo tube from his waist:
"The commander has a secret report and ordered me to submit it. Please take a look at it here and destroy it on the spot."

Li Zhen put down the basket, took the bamboo tube and found that the wax on the bamboo tube had been opened.

Apparently someone had read this secret report before.

He pulled it out directly, turned it out, and found a scroll and a letter.

The seal on the letter is still intact.

"This is……"

"The letter is for the Taoist priest. We have no right to open it. What is on the scroll is some recent information."

Hearing Si Jiuyi's words, Li Zhen nodded and opened the scroll first.

What came into view was a line of words:

"Luoyang Ziqi Report: Zuo Cheng Lu Chu met the two Lu family members in the mansion on the [-]rd night. He spoke vaguely, and then became furious, saying, "The old seven misunderstood me."

Vernacular text: Lu Chu met people from the Lu family in the mansion on the night of the 23rd. He couldn't understand what he said, and after a while he became furious, saying that Lao Qi had delayed him.

And today is the 26th.April 26~
"Is this... information from three days ago?"

Hearing his words, Sijiu nodded:
"Yes, Baiqisi has its own means. Normally, the news that the leader needs can be delivered within two days at most, and the urgent one can only be delivered within a day and night. And this information was given to Jiangdu after obtaining the permission of the leader. Daoist."

"I see……"

Li Zhen nodded and continued to look down.

It was found that these news were all records of some Luoyang and Hedong news.

From these news, Li Zhen knew that Cui Zhongfang had entered the palace that night after Lu Chu in Luoyang said the phrase "The old seven misunderstood me".

And it was Hongying who spread the news from the palace.

The news from Hongying was that Cui Zhongfang and Yue Wang Yang Tong expressed their thoughts bluntly.

It's not a dragon fire, nor a conflict with the Lu family, but a talk with Yang Tong that he wants to dissolve the marriage with the Lu family, but he is afraid that it will hurt Lu Chu's face, so please ask the king of Yue to come forward and talk about it.Yang Tong agreed, but after Cui Zhongfang left, he told Hongying that he planned to issue an imperial edict to inform the Lu family that the Cui family wanted to dissolve their engagement with your family.

Hongying was stopped, saying that this matter would make the Lu family look bad, but what Yang Tong wanted was to drive a wedge between the Cui family and the Lu family.

Hongying still tried to stop her in every possible way, King Yue said to think about it, and then the people from Baiqisi sent the news to the Lu family.

Lu Chu didn't give any reply after hearing this, but asked someone to send Hongying a copybook written by Cai Zhonglang, a master of calligraphy in the Han Dynasty.

This is the second news, and it is also the one that takes up the most space.

At the same time, at the end is the whereabouts of the Fubo army dispatched by the Cui family, as well as the specific information of the three Fubo generals Cui Ling, Cui Zhu, and Cui Han.

The three are the tenth, twelfth, and nineteenth sons of the second house, and they entered the free space ten years ago.His current strength should not have broken through to enlightenment, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to set out the mission this time.But the strength should also be the top group of people in the world.

The entire scroll contains nearly [-] characters, dense, full, and numerous, but not a single word is useless.

The words of these Baiqisi people are quite accurate, almost looking at the information, they can associate in their minds what kind of picture is behind the information.

After reading all of them, Li Zhen carefully gathered the scroll, put it aside, and picked up the letter that was sealed with wax.

"Master, please."

Si Jiuyi kindly handed over a small willow-leaf knife.

"Thank you."

After Li Zhen thanked her, she carefully removed the wax.

A line... a very ordinary-looking handwriting came into view:

"Taoist, don't get close to the dispute between Lu and Cui. To find out the news, you can find Sijiuyi every five days. In case of trouble, look for Erlang with a token or go to Shanxi. Don't be reckless. For refugees, push Cui to enter the game, you A white body, don't involve too much. Exiles, go back to Luoyang, and don't go out again. Shun Tai'an--Li."

"..."

His eyes fell on the last signature.

Li Zhen thought for a while and said:

"Would you like to see the general?"

Si Jiuyi quickly shook his head:

"No, Taoist priest, this is the leader's letter, we have no right to read it... If there is any explanation above, the Taoist priest's words are it."

"That's it...there's nothing else about it, but Master Shi Lang told Pindao that if he wants to know any news in the future, he can come to the general every five days."

Hearing this, Si Jiuyi first glanced at Li Zhen in surprise, and then nodded:
"Yes, this is the place where Baiqisi can contact. If the Taoist priest wants to know something, or if there is any news here, the Taoist priest will come here every five days to inquire. When you come, you only need to talk to the waiter : Two taels of Xifeng, three cents of wine temperature."

"Xifeng two liang, the wine temperature is three minutes, right?"

Keeping this secret word in his heart, Li Zhen nodded... After thinking about it, he asked tentatively:

"The poor man, can you write back a letter to the servant?"

"This……"

Si Jiuyi hesitated.

But in the end, he nodded:

"Let's use a letter from the Taoist leader. If you still want to contact the leader in the future, please state in the letter whether to grant the post of messenger to your subordinates. Otherwise, if the leader disagrees, then we have no right to pass the message to the leader." news."

"understood."

"Hmm...the Taoist priest will wait a moment, and go down to get his pen and ink."

"it is good."

Li Zhen sat in the private room and waited for a while, and soon, after writing, ink, wax, and lighting candles, Si Jiuyi withdrew.

Sitting at the table, Li Zhen thought for a while, took a brush and wrote down the first sentence:
"To my lord servant—Jingan, the poor, don't come for a long time, I really feel sorry..."

The handwriting of the skinny but golden horse is vivid on the paper.

After half a stick of incense.

Li Zhen dried the ink, folded it carefully, poured the wax on it, and pressed it with the iron seal engraved with "Si Jiuyi". After the wax was cooled and solidified, he shouted to the outside:

"General, please come in."

Si Jiuyi approached again, Li Zhen held the letter to him with both hands, and asked:

"How is your servant?"

Si Jiuyi shook his head:

"I don't even know."

"...Well, then everything is due to General Lao. The general who wants to come to Pindao's residence also knows that if there is anything, he can come to Pindao at any time."

"it is good."

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, the general stays behind, and the poor way is leaving."

"Congratulations to the Taoist priest."

"Don't dare, stay."

Li Zhen saluted again, and walked out of the private room with a basket in hand.
