Night gradually fell, and the dilapidated towns were lit up with a few dim lights, no more than those prosperous towns, and there were not many people here who were willing to spend lamps and oil to light lamps at this time.
The brightest place in the town is still in the inn in the center of the town, everyone knows that in the inn of the Li family today, a large number of merchants came, and there were dozens of carts alone, such a movement is already a big deal in this town, and at this moment, the people's homes under the cover of night, I am afraid that many people are talking about this matter.
They are all envious of the good luck of the Li Family Inn, even if they only stay for one night, this Li Family Inn will have to make a lot of money, many people secretly calculated in their hearts, if these merchants don't leave tomorrow, will they go to the inn to try their luck, so many people eat and drink, the inn must not be busy, maybe they can mix a meal of odd jobs, and earn a little money for eating and drinking.
On the other side of the town, in a courtyard that looked more desolate than the outer city wall, several big men sat under the eaves, and they were also talking about the things in the Li Family Inn, but what they talked about was slightly different from what most people in the town were talking about.
"When I came in, Dogface went to see some of them, and they were very guarded against these carts, but although some carts couldn't see the things in them, they could smell the smell, and Dogface said that at least four or five carts were filled with medicinal herbs."
"There are so many people, just a few carts of medicinal herbs, this is a ghost coaxing" Someone sneered: "I have heard a lot of things on the rivers and lakes, it seems that some big businessmen, with more valuable things and afraid of people's concerns, will use some ordinary things to put on the bright side, even if they are robbed, they are not distressed" "You think too much" One of the big men had a melancholy eyebrow, and shook his head slightly: "People are not playing this set of dark Chen Cang, and now we are expensive, except for this grain cloth."
I'm afraid that this medicinal material is the most sought-after, hmph, when people are about to die, what is silver, as long as there are life-saving medicinal materials, they are willing to make people bankrupt."
He muttered for a moment: "I'm just a little curious, except for the medicinal herbs.
What else they have in their other cars, look at their big cars.
It doesn't seem to be much like gold and silver or something."
"Big brother, don't guess" someone laughed, "There are many people in the daytime, and the dog's face can't get close, this is the night, it's the dog's world, let him go and explore the truth, our people asked Lao Li to inquire, this caravan."
But after giving three days of room money, we have a chance to start."
The people in this courtyard are not bandits and bandits, if you investigate their net worth, none of them are good people who are alive and well, but in the Yungui area.
Even ordinary people, who worked in the fields during the day and carried a knife at night to rob the road next to their stockades, met lonely merchants and robbed them of their belongings.
A knife and then bury the body, it was really unaware.
The more the government is weak, the more serious this phenomenon becomes, and there is not even a single official in the vicinity of this town, let alone the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, who have seen the big fat sheep that has been dripping with oil intruding into their territory.
It's strange that you don't have any ideas "Then let Dogface take a look, but let him pay attention, there are a lot of people in this caravan, and it seems that there are dozens of good guards who follow them, don't show your whereabouts, you will be caught and killed" Half an hour later, a thin black shadow appeared near the backyard of the inn, where the caravan's carts stopped, and there was not even a decent wall in the so-called backyard, except for some clods of earth marking the boundaries of the land.
The black shadow is familiar with the approach, in the yard, the cart is surrounded together, several people are sitting on the top of the cart, as if they are talking, in the middle of the cart, a huge fire, people are constantly throwing firewood into it, and the flames are as high as a person.
"Erhu, let's do something" The black shadow hid lightly in a shadow, where he was, just able to avoid the sight of the people in the cart, but he could hear their voices, he tightened his clothes, relaxed his limbs, and then, leaning against a stone in the shadows, motionless, if he hadn't walked in and looked closely, he couldn't see that a person was hiding here.
The conversation on the roof of the car continued, and it seemed that the two people who spoke were not too old.
"No, you're doing things, you should drink less, don't wait until I call you in the middle of the night, you can't wake up" "It's okay, just take two sips, this is the master's reward, you really don't drink it" "The lord rewarded it, then two mouthfuls, really two mouthfuls" "Hmph, you don't want to drink more" There was a faint smell of wine wafting from the roof of the car, and the figure in the shadows swallowed involuntarily, this smell, as soon as you smell it, it is the best soju, this thing, in this town, it is almost invisible.
"You say, isn't our lord a little confused, it's nothing to become a brother and sister with Miss Han, but, the lord asked us to call Miss Han the eldest miss, how do I feel so awkward, if Miss Han is our eldest lady, then if the two ladies give birth to a young lady to the lord in the future, then what do we call it, can we say that Miss Han is called Miss Big, and our lord's daughter is called Little Miss?"
"Then what do you say it should be called?"
"It's called aunt and grandma, the master's righteous sister, isn't it my aunt and grandmother, even if the little red girl is the same clan of our lord, our lord didn't let her be called the eldest lady?"
"This aunt is as old as us, do you think she would like us to call her aunt?"
"It's also oh, for no reason to call people old, a young girl, definitely not happy, the eldest lady is the eldest lady, anyway, the old man said, let's do what the old man said" "You've really drunk too much, go back to sleep, it's not good for others to hear this kind of thing, say let's chew our tongues here" "Hehe's okay, but I feel a little stuffy and panicked, and I want to find someone to talk to, I can't talk to someone else."
"Xiao Dare, you really drank too much, do you really think I don't know your mind, some people, some things, not we can worry about, whether Miss Han becomes our aunt, or the eldest lady, or even the third lady, it is definitely not something you can remember, these words, I will be drunk when you are drunk, you say it today, I just didn't hear it, but if I hear such words again in the future, then don't blame me for being angry" "Ugh" "Go, go sleep, sleep and get up, forget everything" A gust of wind blew, and the sound of talking on the roof of the car stopped, and then I heard a pop of landing, thinking that it was the guy who drank too much, and was persuaded to go back, the black clothes in the shadows, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the lonely figure on the roof of the car, and continued to hide in the dark. aa2705221 t1706231537:
