Chapter 629: Shocked by Shuo Shuo

"Here you come!"

A young man walked into the door, looking quite like Wei Ruqun, holding a large cloth bag in his hand. The big cloth bag was the medicine that Wei Ruqun stolen from the army in the past few months. He took the cloth bag and opened it and smiled: "It's all here, four wooden boxes, one box of two hundred scattered scattered, and the rest are Jinchuang medicine."

Perhaps he felt embarrassed and explained: "In fact, these medicines can't be bought outside. All the medicinal and medicinal shops were taken as military service by An Lushan. If you are lucky, your medicine can be sold for 500 stagnant."

"Thank you sir."

Ji Sheng put away the medicine, but was not in a hurry to leave. He glanced at the young man standing behind Wei Ruqun and asked with a smile: "This is Mr. Wei's son!"

Wei Ruqun is forty-five years old this year, but his son is only fifteen years old, and he was born to his wife. He only has this only son, who loves him as a treasure, perhaps because of his excessive spoilingness. His son is thin and weak, fair-skinned, introverted and quiet, quite like a girl.

Wei Ruqun was not prepared and smiled proudly, saying, "It will be fifteen next month."

"Fifteen years old."

Ji Sheng nodded and said thoughtfully: "I remember An Lushan gave a conscription order. Any teenager over fifteen years old must go to the militia to file a record. The son will also go to file a record next month!"

Wei Ruqun's face changed drastically, Ji Sheng's words touched his worries, which was also the thing he was most worried and afraid of. Although his son has not been recruited yet, once the war is intensified, his son will definitely not be able to escape the conscription disaster. He has been in the army for several months and is very clear about the darkness in the army. Even if his son does not go to the battlefield, he will not be able to escape the torture of the Hu soldiers in the army and will undoubtedly die.

The son also felt his father's anxiety and leaned into his father's arms. Wei Ruqun hugged his beloved son and couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely worried.

Ji Sheng asked with a smile: "Why didn't the sir send him out of Hebei?"

"Why don't I want to!"

Wei Ruqun sighed and said, "But it's not easy! There are tiger and wolf soldiers from An Lushan in all prefectures and counties. I asked my wife to take him away, but I couldn't walk out at all. Not to mention that there are soldiers guarding each pass, so I'm not allowed to leave Hebei. I'm afraid that even Xingkou will not be able to go, and I will be killed by those tiger and wolf soldiers halfway through. It's a hundred times worse than robbers. I can only hide in Youzhou a little safer."

Ji Sheng had a plan in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "Why would you do this? I'll do a favor and send the son-in-law and wife to Chang'an. What do you think?"

Wei Ruqun's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. Although he had made a deal with this man, he had never known each other. How could he trust him and hand over his wife and children to him? Besides, why could he leave Hebei?

As if he knew his thoughts, Ji Sheng took out a map from his arms and pointed to the north and said, "Although the Yan army blocked the road to Hedong, he did not block the road to the north. We can cross the Great Wall from Raole, detour outside the pass to Yunzhou, and arrive at Yunzhou. That is the territory of the Northern Tang army. I am not intimate. This is what I entered Hebei from this road."

Wei Ruqun was a little moved. He also knew that there was this road. An Lushan was not very strict in control. It was just that the territory of the Hu people was too dangerous. However, this was almost better than going south to Hedong. He was just worried about Ji Sheng, why should he help him? Don’t sell his wife and children to the Hu people.

Ji Sheng smiled faintly. He took out a gold medal and placed it on the table, pushed it to Wei Ruqun. Wei Ruqun glanced at it and saw four words engraved on the gold medal: "Scout Anxi!"

He jumped up in shock and looked at Ji Sheng with fear on his face, "You are..."

Ji Sheng waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Wei, don't worry, you are a little military doctor, what am I going to do?"

Wei Ruqun thought it made sense. He was a little military doctor and did not pose any threat to them. He let down his heart. At this time, he suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Did you make the burning of the forage warehouse?"

Ji Sheng smiled, did not deny or admit it, and said, "How? Now I believe I can help your wife and children bring them to Chang'an!"

Wei Ruqun had already believed it. No wonder they wanted to buy marching sans and Jinchuang medicine. It seemed that they were really scouts of the Northern Tang army, so that would be another matter. Not to mention taking his wife and children to Chang'an even if he was brought to Yunzhou, his wife and children could go to Chang'an by themselves. He had no hope at all, but his heart began to become active again. His son's uncle was in Chang'an, so his wife and children could join him. In addition, they had twenty taels of gold and could also settle in Chang'an.

But he also knew that Ji Sheng would not help him for no reason, and the other party must have something to ask him for help. He nodded and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Ji! As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Ji Sheng smiled calmly and said, "I think Mr. Wei should need an assistant as a military doctor! What do you think of me?"

"You?" Wei Ruqun widened his eyes.

Ji Sheng nodded slowly, "You asked me to go to the military camp to be a military doctor with you. I am responsible for sending someone to send your wife and children to Chang'an. Are you going to do this transaction?"

This is a two-way guaranteed deal. The scout named Ji is by his side. His subordinates dare not harm his son, and his son is in their hands, so he dare not betray him. Now, as long as his son can escape from Hebei, he can do anything.

"Okay! We're determined."

Someone introduced that it was extremely easy for Ji Sheng to join the Yan army. That night, Ji Sheng received a license plate and regained his military status, becoming a member of the Yan army. Ji Sheng's name is real, and there is no need to fake it. Zhaozhou Zanhuang County people were divided into An Lushan's direct army, the 8th battalion of the 10th Army, without armor and uniforms. Because he was a military doctor, he had only one knife, not a horizontal knife, but a very ordinary long knife.

The winds in Hebei were surging, but the situation in Chang'an was very calm. Li Qing'an returned to Chang'an ten days ago. The calm situation in Chang'an refers to the court. Since Zhang Yun was the right prime minister, the government operation of the court began to stabilize. Zhang Yun may not be a reformist with new thinking and creativeness, but he has other means to maintain the stability of the court that is difficult for other important officials to reach. He can coordinate the interests of each faction and eliminate the conflicts between various officials in a timely manner.

This is also the reason why Li Qing'an is interested in him. Before the external chaos has subsided, the court needs stability in particular. Even if it is lifeless, it is better than the chaotic political situation.

At present, the Political Affairs Hall is still the Sixth Prime Minister. Cui Ning is busy clearing the canal transportation in Jianghuai, Henan, and in fact there are only five prime ministers in the court. Cui Ping resigned as prime minister and took office as the Hedong Road Observer. He has gone to Taiyuan to take office. Zhang Yun, Zhang Hao, Wei Tao, Lu Huan, Wang Jin, and the five prime ministers are in charge. From the perspective of factional structure, the Wei Party obviously has the upper hand. However, with Cui Ping resignation, Wang Jin, who has always been relatively low-key, changed the direction. He left the Wei Party and moved closer to Zhang Yun, which made the court's factional power balance enter a new state of balance. The two Zhang Party, the Wei Party and Zhang Hao are centrists, and the factional struggle has come to an end for the time being.

Compared with the lifelessness of the court, Li Qing'an's family was very lively. His wife Mingyue gave birth to a son for him, while Pei Wan'er unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter, which disappointed Pei Wan'er's father, but good and bad luck were related. Although Pei Wan'er did not give birth to a son disappointed the Pei family, Pei Wan'er's situation in the Li family improved suddenly.

Mingyue's attitude towards her changed drastically and she took good care of her everywhere. Pei Wan'er gave birth prematurely and the mother and daughter were very weak. Mingyue spent a lot of money to buy various precious medicinal materials to nourish them, making their bodies better day by day. Pei Wan'er also grateful for Mingyue's careful care of her and her attitude was very respectful. A family conflict caused by Pei Zunqing's impeachment of Dugu Haoran finally subsided after the birth of the two children.

When Li Qingan returned home, he was greeted with a vibrant scene. He already had five children.

That morning, Li Qing'an visited Xicheng City as usual. Since the last private visit, Li Qing'an set a rule for himself that as long as he had time, he would go to the city to learn about people's livelihood.

Li Qing'an walked to the last "Huhang Old Store". The first thing he cared about was the rice price. Although he received a report from the court on rice price halfway back to Chang'an, Li Qing'an still had to come and inspect it in person.

During this inspection, Li Qingan did not put on makeup and became a Hu man. He followed four or five personal bodyguards and walked into the store. A guy came up to him. It was the guy last time, but he could no longer recognize Li Qingan.

"Guests, welcome to the store!"

The guy's attitude is very respectful, because Li Qingan is following four or five big men, and only such bodyguards are available in wealthy and giant merchants.

Li Qingan smiled and said, "I'll check the rice price first."

"Customer, please come with me."

The guy respectfully brought Li Qing'an into the lobby. Li Qing'an walked to a bamboo basket with a high bamboo strip, and the wooden sign read the rice price: 230 yuan for rice.

It is not much different from the report of the court, but the report of the court was written half a month ago, and it was 250 cents at that time. After half a month, it fell by twenty cents.

"What was the price of rice half a month ago?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"Half a month ago..." The guy thought for a while and said, "It's about 250 min."

"What's going on? I remember last fall was still four hundred mins, but why did it fall by one hundred and seventy mins now, nearly half of it? Why?"

At this time, the shopkeeper came over. He was more sensible than the guy. He saw that Li Qing'an's identity was extraordinary. He hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Last year, the rice price reached its peak. The court closed its position with 300 ci, and immediately pulled the rice price down. Later, the court heard that Anxi would stop minting silver dollars. For a time, most of the silver dollars on the market disappeared. Every household stored silver dollars. Then there was news that the imperial army had captured Jiangnan. Jiangnan rice would be transported in large quantities, and many merchants in the trough of rice sold. Affected by these two news, the rice price fell another 150 ci. The rice price was only 150 ci in the New Year, which was more than half. Until this period, the rice price slowly recovered to more than 200 ci. My boss estimated that the rice price would soar in the New Year last year, so he entrusted two thousand stones of rice in one breath, and hey! My boss lost a lot."

"But you made a lot of money before! Why don't you say it when you make money?"

"This is true. I made a big profit first, and then lost a lot of money, and lost all the money I made. Alas! I wrote a letter to advise the boss not to enter so many meters, but he didn't believe it. The journey was far and it was transported by camels for thousands of miles. I didn't know how much the freight was. How could I not lose it?"

Li Qing'an made a sudden strife in his heart, "It is transported by camels thousands of miles away." What does this sentence mean?

He asked without saying a word, "I wonder who your boss is?"

"This... haha! It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" The shopkeeper made a fuss and refused to say it.

"Okay, I'll say goodbye first!"

Li Qing'an bowed and said goodbye. He walked out of the store, but secretly ordered a personal guard: "Come me the guy just now, be careful not to alarm the shopkeeper."

The guard turned around and for a moment he brought the guy over, "Guest, is there anything else?"

The guy seemed a little nervous under the cold gaze of several big men. Li Qingan took out another stack of ten silver dollars, held it in his palm and smiled: "Do you want it?"

The guy swallowed, "I want it!"

"If you want, tell me who is your boss?"

The guy shook his head like a rattle, "I can't say this, I must kill me if the shopkeeper said it."

Li Qingan took out another ten silver dollars, put them on the palm of his hand, and smiled and said, "Do you say it?"

The guy still shook his head, but the strength of shaking his head had obviously slowed down. Li Qing'an stopped adding more, but instead took away one piece, another piece, and another piece. Seeing that the silver dollar was decreasing one piece, the guy couldn't resist it anymore, "I said, I said that."

Li Qingan stopped moving and smiled and said, "Tell me! Who is the boss?"

The guy looked around and pointed to an alley next to him. Li Qing'an walked in with him and smiled and said, "Is it so mysterious?"

"I dare not say this master. If this matter is spread and Li Qingan finds out, many people will lose their heads."

Li Qing'an was puzzled, and he still smiled and said, "Don't worry! I don't know Li Qing'an, I won't talk nonsense."

"That's good!"

The guy lowered his voice and said, "I don't know the specific name of our boss, but I know he is a high-ranking official in Anxi. He transported all the food in our rice shop from Anxi to make huge profits. Once the shopkeeper got drunk and said that the boss was doing a business without capital. I suspect that the rice and grain did not cost at all. I also heard that the boss also had a jewelry store in Dongshi."

The anger was already burning in Li Qing'an's chest. He believed that the guy was telling the truth. He restrained his anger and asked again: "Then what is the boss' surname, you should know!"

The guy shook his head, "I really don't know."

"All right!"

Li Qing'an said to his personal soldiers: "Reward him three hundred silver dollars!"

"Crash!"

The white silver dollars were poured into the bag. The guy was holding the heavy bag, three hundred silver dollars. He was shocked. Li Qingan said coldly: "From now on, don't go to the rice shop, find another way out!"
