An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Outside Liangzhou City.

After seven or eight days of non-stop traveling, the group finally arrived at Liangzhou City.

The fatigue on the road seemed to melt away like ice and snow the moment they saw the Liangzhou City Wall. Many people had joy on their faces, especially Lin Zheng.

"Finally we're here. It's all good. Let's do it at home!" Lin Zheng said with emotion while holding the horse.

"Yes, home is the best..."

The escort team also happily agreed.

"Mr. Lin, Liangzhou is close at hand. It's snowing and windy. Come down and take a few steps to avoid being unable to bear the cold."

Lin Ziyu didn't show any pretense and got off the carriage to chat and laugh with the group. Only Zhao was still riding his horse to enjoy the scenery of Shu.

Along the way, Zhao received two six-fingered flying pigeons, both of which told Zhao to hide them and not come back. Jiangnan was probably doing something big. Zhao didn't hide it either. He told Liuzhi in the letter that he was almost arriving at Liangzhou City, but Liuzhi didn't reply.

"Sect Officer Lin, I wonder if there is any yard rental in Liangzhou City?"

Zhao sat on the horse and asked suddenly.

Although Lin Zheng was puzzled, he immediately replied: "I guess there is no rent, but Liangzhou City has not been peaceful in the past few years. There are still a few places for sale, but the asking price is not cheap."

After thinking about it, he asked, "I wonder what my little brother wants to buy a yard for?"

"Open a tavern, otherwise you won't even have a place to live. How can you travel around with peace of mind?"

"There is a tavern, but it's the price..." Lin Zheng replied awkwardly.

Zhao smiled and said proudly: "Money is a small issue, but it must be able to accommodate people. If it's convenient, could you please take me to have a look at it, head guard Lin? Don't worry, Zhao will definitely not treat you badly."

"That's not what I mean." Lin Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and said in a panic, "Lin has not been in Liangzhou for a few months. I don't know if any of the yards have been sold. There is no definite information. Since my little brother wants to see it, I will take him there. Bar."

Zhao cupped his fists and handed over his hands, "Okay, please trouble the escort, but the money still has to be given, otherwise I will be embarrassed."

Lin Zheng also stopped talking. How could he fall out with someone if he was forced to give it to him? You're so polite, you can't give up money just to save face, right?

The group of people walked for two-quarters of an hour and entered the city with smiles on their faces. The rest of the group followed Old Liu and the escort agency, while Lin Zheng and Zhao led their horses to look at the yard.

After following Lin Zheng through several streets and turns, he finally found a remote courtyard.

Lin Zheng stepped forward and knocked on the door to call for someone. After a while, a wealthy middle-aged man opened the courtyard door. Seeing that it was Lin Zheng, he quickly saluted, "Head guard Lin, the escort is back? Please come inside, please come inside."

Lin Zheng's face lit up, "Brother Zhou, I just returned to Liangzhou. Isn't there a little brother who wants to buy a yard? I thought that Brother Zhou's place is just right, so I brought my little brother to come and have a look. Sorry to bother you."

"Oh? Is that the little brother behind you?" The middle-aged man said happily: "Quick, come in, little brother is really a young talent!"

Zhao was not polite, clasped his fists in response, and followed Lin Zheng into the courtyard.

The middle-aged man led the two of them around the yard. The yard is not small, almost an acre of land. It is transparent from the front and back, without too many decorations. The front door is on a street, but it is very remote. The back door is next to the river, shaded by green trees, making it extremely secluded. This courtyard is like a rabbit hole, extending in all directions but secluded enough. It is very suitable for people like Zhao Jue, and Zhao Jue himself is very satisfied.

The three of them stood in the courtyard by the front door. Zhao looked around the courtyard wall, nodded with satisfaction, and was the first to say: "Uncle Zhou, the courtyard is nice. I am really satisfied. Please give me a price."

"Hey, little brother, since you sincerely want it, then Zhou also sincerely offers a suitable price, eight hundred taels, no less. Zhou also spent a lot of money on the purchase. If it weren't for the unclear situation in Liangzhou, I would I don’t want to sell it…”

The middle-aged man spoke with a hint of sadness, his eyes twinkling, and his reluctance was visible to the naked eye.

Zhao smiled. For him, eight hundred taels was not too much. Anyway, there was a lot of money in the space, and he couldn't exchange it for God of Wealth Points, so he just spent it. Zhao could also see the middle-aged man's reluctance, so he said in a deep voice: "Eight hundred taels is eight hundred taels. I will also pay for the land deed document, but it must be done quickly. It is best to clear the money and goods today. "

The middle-aged man restrained his sorrow and said, "Okay, since the little brother is so cheerful, Zhou will not delay. If Zhou has nothing to do today, he and the little brother will go to the Yamen to change the land deed."

Zhao didn't waste any time. He took out 800 taels of silver notes from his arms, actually from the space, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

Lin Zheng happened to be there, so he acted as a witness. The three of them went to the Yamen, paid the money, and changed the title deed. From that moment on, the courtyard belonged to Zhao Jiu.

Back in the courtyard, the middle-aged man left halfway, leaving only Zhao Jue and Lin Zheng.

Looking at Nuo Da's yard, Lin Zheng's eyes were full of envy, while Zhao Ji couldn't stop smiling. It was a great satisfaction to have a tile to cover his head no matter where he was.

He put ten taels of silver into Lin Zheng's hand and asked, "Guard Leader Lin, I wonder if there is a better carpenter. I also want to make a sign or something."

"Yes, there is one near the escort office. I will ask them to make one later. What words should be engraved on it?"

"Just writing the three words "tavern" is enough." After Zhao finished speaking, he handed Lin Zheng twenty taels of silver. "Signboards and such will trouble the head guard Lin."

Lin Zheng took the money and nodded, "Little brother, I will send it to you in five days. The wine utensils have to be ordered. As for the wine, there is really nothing I can do..."

Zhao nodded and agreed. Lin Zheng didn't stay long, just thanked Zhao and left in a hurry.

In the next half month, Zhao has been doing various things in the yard. After all, you have to pretend to be decent. It would be too abnormal for a tavern to not have even a drop of wine. But I really can't get wine, and I am not concentrating on business. I just want to have a place to hide.

He simply sent Feige to Liuzhi and asked him to send a few carts of good wine.

Time flies, and another half month has passed. The signboards, tables, chairs and benches sent by Lin Zheng have been used, and everything except wine has been prepared. Fortunately, Liuzhi replied to the letter, saying that Liuzhi was on the way and would arrive in Liangzhou soon.

After waiting for three days, Liuzhi's carriage finally arrived when the sun was setting. Sure enough, there was a carriage full of wine. When old friends met, Zhao was not polite. He went to make a pot of local good wine and a large table of delicious food. The two of them sat in the backyard, drinking and chatting in the moonlight.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhao took the lead and asked, "Liu Zhi, what's going on in Bianzhou? I can't even go home."

The six fingers were still the same as before. He was holding peanuts with his missing left hand and sipping wine. Although several teeth were missing in his mouth, he was chewing beef with relish.

After eating and drinking until his face turned red, he wiped a few hands on his clothes, and half-lying down, he replied: "Don't ask about Jiangnan's affairs. You saved my life, and I won't harm you. Jiangnan's affairs are between you and me." They can't control it, not even Jiangnan himself can control it!" When he said this, he seemed to be frightened, and drank a few sips of wine. "You haven't seen that the Zhao family, a century-old family, just copied it, and the lives of those people are no different from those of pigs... "

Zhao himself was shocked. The Zhao family was almost like thunder in Bianzhou. I heard that Taizu became rich when he was young. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been a wealthy family for hundreds of years. There was a secondary assistant in my ancestors, which has become degenerate in recent generations, but there is also a fifth-rank official. Not only that, the Zhao family's business is almost all over the south of the Yangtze River, and even involves private salt.

Such a behemoth was actually ransacked?

"How could the situation be so serious?" Zhao Jiu still felt incredible. It was really hard to believe that the towering tree was falling.

Liuzhi squinted his eyes, took two sips of wine, and said with a sneer, "It's more than serious. I heard from people in the capital that there have been big moves recently. Beihu invaded the border, and the Ministry of War is short of money..."

Hearing what Liu Zhi said, Zhao finally realized something. He thought it was an imperial envoy case, but he didn't expect it was just a hook. The palace is going to kill a pig!

Seeing Zhao, he stopped talking. Liuzhi exhaled the smell of alcohol and said with blurred eyes: "Old Jiu, my visit to Shu this time is considered a refuge. If you still need to do business, wait for me to fly pigeons."

Zhao nodded and drank in silence. Seeing this, Liuzhi continued: "Old Jiu, I'm in Jinguan City. If you're short of wine, write to me. Remember to give me money! Also, it's different from the past. It said that every order was 100 and 8 draws, which has gone up a bit. Business It’s not easy to do…”

"Okay!" Zhao didn't refuse, eight out of 100 draws were not high! Although it used to be five out of 100, the current situation is turbulent and the closing is difficult to do. Price increases are inevitable. After all, rising costs are real.

The two of them kept drinking until Liuzhi reached the top of the willow tree in the moonlight before he drunkenly collected the money and left.

After moving the wine into the cellar, Zhao made a pot of tea and lay half-ly thinking about the future. You have to do business. Except for the killer business, the money coming in from other businesses is too slow to support your own consumption. Although the current situation is not good, if you think about it from another perspective, isn't this situation a good thing for you?

Thinking of this, Zhao felt a little comforted, so he stopped thinking about it, took a Tongxuan Pill, and practiced cross-legged.
