In the restaurant of'Jinfu Inn', among the noisy crowd, a few young people were drinking in the corner of the restaurant. They looked at these people sideways while discussing their own affairs in a low voice.
Most of their parents are farmers or granary helpers here, and of course they themselves are too. However, the peculiar restlessness of young people made these young men unwilling to waste time here all their lives. They discussed with each other and were ready to leave here and go to the outside world.
It's just that they have been in this stockade since they were born, and the farthest they have been in the nearby forest. At most, they can speculate on the outside world full of wars and opportunities through conjectures and words from business travelers outside. .
After discussing for a while, a few people just agreed on a time to prepare for the trip. But after a few people just said, they heard a cold snort coming from their noses. The young people were slightly startled and turned their heads with guilty conscience. They saw an old and tall old man sitting at another table not far away.
This old man has a big red nose with conspicuous lees, a long beard, and his arms and legs are very strong and strong.
When several young people saw this old man, their expressions changed unanimously. This old man was called Wang Zhenlei, and he didn't know where he came to this place. However, it is said that this old man is very capable, and was taken by the officials here, and mixed up with the work of a granary.
But this guy has a bad temper, rigid and stubborn, and never gives a good face. Moreover, his own situation seemed unsatisfactory, and people often saw this old man drinking sullenly. Although people here love to drink, very few people drink booze. Moreover, unlike this old guy, his temper became more silent as soon as he finished drinking. After drinking, he was not just like other people or yelling, lethargic, or drunk crazy, but he was cold and cold. Whoever stubbornly ignores her face.
And this guy is extremely arrogant, no one looks down on it. Someone once heard him speak ill of the general. But the old man had a temper, even his Majesty dared to scold him, so this matter was not noticeable.
When the young people saw him, they couldn't help but scream in their hearts. Some of them were a little clever, and hurriedly said nicely: "Master Wang Zhenlei, so you are here!"
The old man glanced at these letter king Zhao Zhen, and said coldly: "Why, it hinders you?"
"No, no," the quick-reacting person said immediately: "Why? We want to invite you to drink, but..."
The old man snorted from his nostrils: "Who cares about your shit, but I remind you, young people, the outside world is not so simple and mixed, be careful to meet your head and bleed back. It is good to bleed blood. , I won’t be able to come back if I can’t handle it, and I’ll take my life outside.”
Several young people immediately responded as if they were amnesty, hesitated to answer a few words, and then went to pay the bill in a hurry, and quickly left from the front door.
When they left, they couldn’t help but scream unlucky. How could they meet this old guy? Fortunately, this old guy didn’t have a good relationship with most people in the stockade. Otherwise, they ran to tell their parents. It is necessary to have a cruel meal or the parents' scolding.
The old man watched these young people go out and shook his head. The war-torn world outside is so easy to break through. It's just that these young people are full of enthusiasm, and he doesn't care about these things. The old man just wanted to lower his head to have a drink, but suddenly he was taken aback. He saw four men and three women walking outside the restaurant.
In fact, when the few people opened the door and entered, everyone in the restaurant lobby was bright.
What a couple of beautiful girls--!
Luo Yueer’s beauty is self-evident, and Ma Yueying is also not letting go. Luo Yueer always has a special temperament on her body, which makes people want to look at her more. She is beautiful and tender face. Coupled with a huge breast, it looks beautiful and big breasts. The look of a businessman dressed up, carrying a leather bag, and looking around is really good for people. The hammer seemed too big and uncoordinated.
Ma Yueying's blazing flame-like eyes are more attractive. When the girl entered this restaurant, her brows could not help but frowned, and her brows were raised, with a dangerous aura that no one should come near.
The halberd was tied to her back, and the girl slightly raised her head, letting her long pony tail hang backwards. She looked around and looked at everyone around her with a vigilant look. It seemed that strangers should not come near. Not annoying.
However, it was Miao Yufeng, who was not so outstanding among the guests, that caused the guests to shout loudly. Although the female leader was a bit older, she was well-dressed and tall and hot, and as soon as she entered the hall, everyone subconsciously whistled. Several ulterior gazes fell on the towering breast of the female chief.
Miao Yufeng didn't mind, she just snorted coldly, and Xinwang Zhao Zhen couldn't help but chuckle.
He used to encounter such a situation in some restaurants. The rude guests drank loudly and drank, mixed with the sound of some people who came out to ride the restaurant and ride a ride to accompany the sleeping woman to laugh. In this era, in addition to specialized brothels, there are some restaurants, although they are not non-special brothels, but they cooperate with women or organizations to make money.
The letter king Zhao Zhen turned her head, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already greeted him. A middle-aged man with an ordinary face, but looking at his appearance, he has already seen the primary and secondary relationship among several people, and obviously his eyes are very powerful.
When the men whose lower body decided to think about the upper body turned their eyes on a few beautiful women, the middle-aged shopkeeper paid more attention to the details of the temperament revealed by the believers Zhao Zhen. Although the two young guards who followed the letter king Zhao Zhen were brazen, the eyes of the middle-aged people did not stay on them any more.
As the master of this place where people come and go, he has long cultivated a different way of seeing people from ordinary people.
In particular, the aura and temperament of the high-ranking people of the letter Wang Zhaozhen are very similar to those of the wealthy and nobles of this era who came from prominent families and have received good education since childhood. Therefore, the middle-aged people took this letter Wang Zhao Zhen from other people at a glance. Distinguish it.
"This is a gentleman, a gentry and tycoon." The shopkeeper thought so, barely squeezing a smile on his face, and said in an unconsciously respectful tone: "Dear guest officers, please, do you have any needs?"
Letter King Zhao Zhen raised her head and saw a wooden board with the type of wine for sale hanging in front of the wine rack and some food. Not to mention, there are quite a few wine varieties and dishes here.
He ordered some of the most expensive dishes, and ordered a jar of "earth-fired" wine. Of course, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is not interested in this thing, he is just pretending to be.
Several ladies invariably ordered the local fruit wine, which was slightly sweet and sour.
As for the two guards and attendants, they ignored anything at all, and followed Xin Wang Zhao Zhen expressionlessly. This allowed the middle-aged shopkeeper to confirm the approximate relationship between these people. He glanced at these people and asked with a keen smiley face unique to businessmen: "A few are not locals, right? Where do they come from?"
Ma Yueying stopped and raised her eyebrows alertly.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen knew that there was nothing to hide from such a thing. Like this kind of person, although it is not a local snake, but there are so many people who have seen it, maybe they know all the local people in the stockade.
They deliberately concealed but left doubts. He simply nodded and said: "Come and try your luck."
The letter king Zhao Zhen didn't elaborate on what he was doing either.
The middle-aged shopkeeper thought that this might be the heir of a gentry and magnate who left home to play. This kind of person is actually not uncommon here, but it is usually the offspring of a gentry and magnate who has a certain family background. The reason why it is uncommon in this war-torn place is that there are often descendants of noble ministers who secretly colluded with the grain officials to buy grain.
"Do you need a local guide?" He thought for a moment and asked.
"The service is really attentive." Xinwang Zhao Zhen thought that the jar of the most expensive wine in his hand had an effect. A place like this was originally a place where news circulated, and the shopkeeper often had the hand of a local guide.
Not only that, the shopkeeper can also give you more news, but most of these news rely on hearsay and do not distinguish the authenticity. You need to eliminate the useless information by yourself. The only advantage is that the price is also included in the consumption of drinks.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen ordered the most expensive wine here, and the middle-aged shopkeeper naturally seemed very attentive.
But Xinwang Zhao Zhen still shook her head and said, "I never need a guide, but I want to ask what is going on around me?"
"Although wars are frequent, the surrounding villages near us are not dangerous, but in the forest you will encounter robbers and possibly cannibal savages." The middle-aged man replied.
"In addition, to the north of the stockade is the official grain granary. If you go there, you may encounter a patrol team. It would be bad if you are caught by people who have bad intentions."
As if he was afraid that the young children of this gentry and tycoon would not know the heights of the world because of his identity, he hurriedly added: "Although this is within the Jinghu Lake Road, the granary is actually in charge of the military."
The letter king Zhao Zhen said oh. He lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, the pungent taste went straight into his throat, and then choked back into his nose.
The pungency and sweetness of a good wine surrounded her mouth, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, this kind of relatively strong wine is rare. Generally, Da Song’s wines are very low-alcoholic, light and tasteless. It seems that choosing the most expensive wine by yourself is obviously a wise move.
The letter king Zhao Zhen raised her head and knocked on the side and said, "If this is the case, then should I avoid those places?"
"Just don't go north of the stockade." The shopkeeper replied: "If you don't go north, there will be no trouble."
"But if I want to move food, how can I dredge the relationship if I don't go north?" Xinwang Zhao Zhen frowned in embarrassment and whispered.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and thought that he was here for this.
"That's hard to say." The shopkeeper lowered his body, approached a few people and whispered: "If you don't lack money, you can try to find a few famous local snakes. Those local snakes buy food for the people. I have bridged many times and there is a price list. But the price of the first contact is probably very valuable."
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded and asked about the local situation. Mainly about the situation of the fields and farmers, as well as some situations of the soldiers in the granary, and so on. Of course, under the guise of a businessman, as for the shopkeeper, he was regarded as the heir of a gentry and tycoon who didn't know the heights of the world and had a mind to make fun.
Neither of them paid attention to this misunderstanding, and the conversation went on in a harmonious manner. Inquiring about the news did not take up much time for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. After a short moment, he turned his head. At this time, several ladies had found a place to sit down in the restaurant lobby. Xinwang Zhao Zhen looked over there and was about to walk over, but he stopped before that.
An old man stood in front of him. "Please let me." Wang Zhenlei, who was already drunk and somewhat drunk, narrowed his small eyes. He could barely see the young man in front of him, as if it was the one who came in before, he thought.
But it didn't matter, he just knew that the other party was blocking him, and the old man shook his head to figure it out.
But the letter king Zhao Zhen was a little bit dumbfounded. The restaurant was obviously wide, but the old man had to stand in front of him and say that he was blocking his way.
It's just that he doesn't have the time to make trouble here now, so he hesitated and stepped aside. But at this moment, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was stunned.
The old man's face was red, which made Xinwang Zhaozhen at first thought that this was just a very common old weak in the local area, but after taking a closer look, Xinwang Zhaozhen noticed that the temple and the back of the hand were slightly different from those of ordinary people.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's heart jumped heavily. A master!
He almost thought he was bad, and almost squeezed his cheek to confirm whether he was drunk or the other party was drunk. If you can meet such a master in a remote place, just by looking at it, Xinwang Zhao Zhen knows that the opponent must be a very skilled master.
But Xin Wang Zhao Zhen has calmed down a bit after a brief astonishment, perhaps because of her appearance. If the letter king Zhao Zhen hadn't seen the characteristics of a master, he wouldn't necessarily recognize this drunk fellow. And it is not uncommon for some people who do not know martial arts to have special characteristics.
However, when he thought so, Wang Zhenlei had already passed him staggeringly. The letter king Zhao Zhen turned her head and watched the old man leave the crowd and walk out, leaving only one back.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought for a while, but didn't immediately follow. There is nothing to deal with with a drunk guy, not to mention that the other party looks like an ordinary official in this place, and he will probably not cause any trouble to himself for a while.
His goal is to take control of this granary, and then contact the other party again to see if the other party's true identity is a master, the effect will be much better. But even so, he turned around and asked the middle-aged treasurer: "Who is that?"
"An old guy, it seems to be Wang Zhenlei. He has been here for a while." The middle-aged treasurer didn't know why this young gentry would be interested in a sloppy old man. He said, "He is from the granary. A small matter."
"What is it for?" Xinwang Zhao Zhen said. "It's just a supervisor."
"I heard that he has any specialties? For example, martial arts?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked further.
The middle-aged man was taken aback, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it."
"Heh, I thought this old man had any unique skills." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled and said deliberately.
"Although the old man has a lot of experience, but this old man can't see any unique skills, guest officer." The middle-aged shopkeeper's companion said with a smile.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded, letting go of the matter in her mind, and then turned around and walked back to the table where she was. When he approached, Luo Yueer and No.1 were talking about each other, but they stopped at the same time and looked at the young letter king.
"What's wrong?" Miao Yufeng asked. "It's nothing." Xinwang Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "But I inquired about the local news, and the situation is a little bit ugly.
"What's the matter?" A trace of worry flashed in Miao Yufeng's eyes. Apart from Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, only he was most concerned about the success or failure of this matter.
"We originally thought that the strong men in the granary would go in and out of the granary area every day, but what I just inquired about was not the case." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen whispered: "In fact, most of the time, only a few days of the strong men will be on the stockade. , I work in the granary most of the time."
"It seems that the other party's management of the young men is quite strict!" Miao Yufeng said worriedly.
"Yes, so that we will have less chance to fish in troubled waters," said Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.
"What's the problem?" Ma Yueying asked puzzledly.
"It's not difficult to control the granary. Just kill the stronger general. The remaining 1,000 people are not enough for us to watch. But they must be killed silently and without attracting the attention of Fengzhou and Fengyang. , It’s a little troublesome."
"But with our strength, will there be any problems with the enemy?" The long-haired girl frowned and asked back.
"Of course not, but you should know how dynamic our fight is." Xinwang Zhao Zhen replied.
"As long as one person knows that the granary is under attack, the news will spread like wildfire. In a few days, the Fengyang government in Fengzhou will understand this matter better than we do."
"We can block the news." Luo Yueer suggested.
"The officials of the Fengyang government in Fengzhou are not fools. There is no news about the direction of the granary for a long time, and they will be suspicious." Xinwang Zhao Zhen shook his head: "We can only control this place and let him operate as usual, secretly. Shimen City can deliver grain."
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what would happen next.
These grains will be secretly transported to his Shimen part to satisfy Shimen's food supply. If it is done secretly and carefully, the grain transport officer in the future will buy it. In fact, according to the ability of the chaotic bureaucracy in the Southern Song Dynasty, no one will find this. Or, it will be a long time after the discovery.
