"Lei Zhenyi,

born in Daping Township in the 23rd year of Zongbao, a student in the 11th year of Fubao,

failed to pass the autumn examination in the 14th year of Fubao..."

Bai Qiaoling carefully read the contents, her mind moving quickly,

"According to the household registration book,

Lei Zhenyi was just an ordinary citizen who had studied in a private school for a few years and knew some tricks of the house.

There was no mention of him leaving Daping Township to go out to study.

The family conditions were relatively wealthy in the local area,

but within three years after his parents died early, they were cheated of all their wealth and fell into poverty.

He had no choice but to leave his hometown and

come to Fucheng to seek refuge with distant relatives who were not related to him at all.

Suspicious points, big doubts."

He read it carefully three times, memorized the contents,

secretly urged his internal energy, and turned the paper into a ball of flying ash.

"Lei Zhenyi, Lei Biaotou...

I hope you are sincerely helping Fu'an Escort Agency."

Bai Qiaoling rolled her eyes and bent down slightly to blow out the candlelight.

Huh——

Two young eunuchs carefully blew out the phoenix torches in the corridor of the Jingshe,

then took out small silver pots filled with whale oil and replaced the fuel one by one.

They walked lightly, almost without any sound,

even their breathing frequency was deliberately controlled, for fear of making any noise.

Just when they finally replaced all the phoenix torches and were about to put the silver pots back to their original place,

one of the young eunuchs probably stood for too long and his legs and feet were sore,

and he stumbled and fell down.

Clang clang clang——

The silver pot rolled to the ground, making a huge noise,

like a bolt from the blue, and the lingering sound echoed in the empty corridor.

It was harsh, disturbing, and shocking.

The two young eunuchs immediately looked ashen,

and felt their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

"What's wrong with you?!"

An old eunuch in a purple robe appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"Old Ancestor, spare us, we, we..."

"Hurry up and clean up, His Majesty has been awakened,

I will go in and serve first, and then punish you later."

"Yes, yes, my sons understand."

The two young eunuchs had sad faces and did not dare to get up.

They knelt on the ground and trembled to pick up the garbage.

And the eunuch called the old ancestor, with his head down, slowly stepped over the threshold,

turned into the spacious room with ancient Athens and various Taoist utensils hanging.

As soon as he entered the door, the strong smell of medicine came to his nose,

It was not bad, but it was not very good.

The old eunuch was used to it,

and he walked forward calmly, and finally stopped at the door of the inner bedroom.

Inside the door was a large screen with five elements and eight trigrams carved on it.

On the left and right were the Daode Xuanjing with more than 5,000 words.

Through the translucent gauze in the middle,

one could vaguely see a figure sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Before the old eunuch spoke,

he heard the man inside take the lead and said leisurely: "Gao Wang, the eunuch on night watch outside knocked over the silver pot."

"Master is wise, it was indeed the two boys who were clumsy and

accidentally knocked over a silver pot and disturbed the master's meditation."

The old eunuch Gao Wang bowed slightly and did not mention how to punish them.

He could not and did not dare.

After a moment of silence,

a snort was heard from the room,

"Gao Wang, let those two young eunuchs move jars at the wine, vinegar and flour bureau for a few days as a punishment.

As for the night watch, let someone with quick hands and feet do it."

"Master is wise, I will do it right away."

Hearing this,

the old eunuch Gao Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave,

click-click-click-click-

The sound of footsteps of soft insoles stepping on gold bricks came from far away.

"A thousand feet of silk line hangs straight down, and one wave moves and thousands of waves follow.

The night is quiet and the water is cold, the fish don't eat, and the boat is empty and returns in the moonlight."

The figure who was originally lying on the futon in meditation inside slowly stepped out from behind the screen.

His steps were neither fast nor slow, his figure was as straight as a pine tree,

He wore a lake blue long robe with dark patterns on the ground,

He wore a dark blue thin shirt with carved collars on the inside,

He had a long beard and tied his hair, and he looked elegant,

He had the temperament of a superior in every move.

He paused slightly in front of the old eunuch and continued to walk in another direction.

The latter understood and hurried to follow.

The master and the servant walked through the corridor and turned into the study.

Looking up, you can see the four gilded characters "Shangshan Ruoshui" hanging high above.

The lake blue robe figure threw the robe,

Sat in the small-leaf red sandalwood armchair, picked up a few memorials and flipped through them.

The old eunuch Gao Wang stood respectfully by his side.

After a while, he spoke cautiously: "Master, the Shen Jinshan caravan from Fucheng has set off.

The total value of the goods they brought is estimated to be more than 2 million taels."

The figure in the lake blue robe did not respond, but continued to read the memorial.

Gao Wang knew that his master was not satisfied, so he continued:

"Excluding the goods, the estimated value of their industries around Fucheng is around 15 million taels.

The specific amount will be determined later.The spies of Wuduwei will check it out before we can understand it. "

As soon as these words came out,

the figure in the lake blue robe finally put down the memorial,

leaned back against the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "I have been in power for thirty years. I respect heaven and cultivate myself.

I sleep on no more than one bed, eat no five kinds of food, and wear no more than eight sets of clothes.

15 million taels...

These merchants are rich,

richer than me, richer than the entire court."

He tapped the table with his fingers,

and looked at Gao Wang slightly: "Tell Yan Xiaobei to speed up, don't exceed this time."

"Master..."

"Hmm?"

"Yes, yes, I will do it now."

The old eunuch Gao Wang didn't dare to say much, and he turned around and left after receiving the order.

The figure in the lake blue robe raised his hand and took out a bracelet: "Give it to him, he will understand when he sees it."

"Yes. "

As the footsteps gradually faded away, the huge study became quiet.

A figure sat upright on a small-leaf red sandalwood armchair,

with a dim gaze,

writing a series of names on paper with a brush in hand.

Yan Xiaobei, Jiu Suihong, Qianhong, Yumian Luosha, Shen Jinshan...

"Qingxuan's order was issued, and the world was in turmoil.

I'll let you make a fuss for a while, but this world is still mine after all. "

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, the whole camp was awake at dawn.

After a busy and intense journey, the caravan set off again.

When they arrived at a small town specializing in tea production,

Qin Nuo bought a large amount of low-quality tea on credit in the name of Shen Jinshan,

Then he found the werewolf players and hired them as helpers for the Fu'an Escort Agency.

The wages were 60 coins per day,

Of course, this was just a cover-up, and they would not actually pay a penny.

Ning Wushuang was a little confused about this,

and he didn't understand why Lei Biaotou wanted to hire four helpers.

However, the Escort Agency was quite wealthy at the moment, and spending an extra 240 coins a day was not a big deal.

In the past,

Ning Wushuang would rather bear it himself than spend the money.

In the next few days,

Qin Nuo , the werewolf team sneaked around the caravan during the day, and went their separate ways at night.

With the help of the two escort agencies, Changfeng and Zhiyuan,

the small bandits encountered on the way were all driven away and killed,

making the caravan move slowly in the predetermined direction.

Originally, these should have been handled by Qin Nuo,

but he was too lazy to deal with those small fish,

not only wasting time, but also delaying the plan to make money.

Speaking of making money,

the sauce-flavored latte he promoted in the caravan has begun to show results.

Pang Tiande and a group of big-headed soldiers,

although they are not good at gathering information, they are really good at promoting it locally.

They are very close to small vendors, hawkers, and guards,

whenever they see a sleepy buddy who stays up late, they will send him a pot of sauce-flavored latte.

This is also the reason why many members of the night watch can drink it.
