In Longmen Inn, guests whispered to each other, discussing whether to buy news; the guys carried trays and walked between the Eight Immortals tables, like little bees in flowers.

Chen Ji sold seven messages in a row, making a net profit of 3,500 taels of silver, which was far beyond expectations. He originally planned to sell 200 taels of silver with a message, which would be great if he could make more than 1,000 taels of silver.

But the "Three Master" who emerged out of thin air suddenly raised the price, making him a fortune.

The customers who bought the news frowned and hurried out with their respective troops.

The man surnamed Zhang, who had been named by the madam before, stood outside the door. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "Although this news is important, five hundred taels of silver is too expensive, right? What was the news that was so expensive last time?

”

The follower beside him replied, "Master, the last time was eight years ago. The shopkeeper of Longmen Inn sold news on behalf of their owners, and the price was 600 taels."

The man surnamed Zhang asked, "What is the news of the sale?"

The entourage whispered: "We were doing business at that time and we were not willing to buy it..."

The man surnamed Zhang said in confusion: "Why do I think the Third Master is like a tutor? I ask you, when have you ever seen the Third Master so shocked? On weekdays, you don't say a word without saying a word? Today I listen to it.

I stood up as soon as I got a news and left in a hurry? It was too exaggerating."

The entourage hesitated for a long time: "Master, who can ask the third master to be a escort? Do you ask him to be a escort? Can you please move?"

The man surnamed Zhang thought for a moment: "He might slap me with a big ear."

The follower spread his hands and said, "Isn't this going to end?"

The man surnamed Zhang rubbed his face: "Let's go, make some preparations before Jing Chao besieged the city."

After saying that, the few people tightened their collars, held the wind, and hurriedly left.

In the inn, the people at Chen Ji's table finally dispersed. Zhang Xia took a break and reminded: "The people from the Yulin Army are gone."

Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "The people from the Yulin Army are here too?"

Zhang Xia nodded: "Well, they hid in the corner wearing hats and secretly sent someone to buy news, but Li Xuan and Qi carefully considered their figures and I could recognize them without looking at their faces.

”

Zhang Zheng looked at Chen Ji worriedly: "What if they tell the prince about our selling news? The most taboo thing for those who are superiors is that someone is around you to leak information. If you sell the news related to him, he will definitely have a grudge... You are not

Want to get close to him?"

Chen Ji was silent.

Xiaoman behind him suddenly said, "Young Master, silence me? They haven't walked far, and it's time."

Zhang Zheng and Zhang Xia slowly turned their heads and stared at Xiaoman, without saying anything for a long time.

Chen Ji smiled and comforted, "It's not a problem. The prince is in an awkward situation now: Jing Chao's army is coming, and it is inappropriate to investigate the murder of good deeds. If the border army guards Guyuan, he will not be able to investigate the heroes. He wants to investigate.

It’s also necessary to be a few days later, otherwise people will lose all their hearts.”

Zhang Xia continued: "But he cannot go back to the capital empty-handedly, and cannot investigate the murder of good deeds, so he has to make other great contributions, otherwise he will not be able to explain to His Majesty."

Chen Ji nodded: "If I can help him make contributions, what is the selling news?"

While talking, the madam Hongxiuzhao sat back with a fragrant scent. She asked with a smile: "Young man, can you borrow a bowl of wine?"

Before Chen Ji could speak, Xiaoman had already held the jar of wine tightly in his arms: "We bought it for three hundred ciders a jar, so I won't give it to you."

The madam rolled her eyes: "The old hens don't even protect their eggs like you. I'll just ask your young master a few words?"

Xiaoman glared at her: "Just ask carefully if you ask, why are you so charming? Just sit up and be more upright!"

The madam ignored her and turned to Chen Ji and asked, "Young man, I can't spend the five hundred taels in my family in vain. I have to ask clearly first. Is this news true?"

Chen Ji nodded: "It's true."

The madam wanted to approach and ask again, but looked up at Xiaoman behind Chen Ji and stopped her figure: "As far as I know, last night, there were only Bianjun and the prince's men on Shache Street. The whole street was blocked. How do you

Learn what was going on inside? You were in Shache Street at the time?"

Chen Ji responded calmly: "According to the inn rules, you must experience the news of the opening of the hall yourself, so you don't have to worry."

The madam asked again: "How did the prince learn that there was a sensation in Shache Street? I heard that someone took the lead in buying news yesterday. It happened to be related to the incident in Shache Street yesterday. That person would not be

You, my son? Are you the prince’s person?”

Zhang Xia suddenly spoke and asked sternly: "What are you asking about these things? Are you looking for the person who informed the prince yesterday to avenge the Jingchao spy probe?"

The madam's face changed: "I just asked casually. After all, I have to ensure that the news is reliable. I have nothing to do with Jing Chao."

Chen Ji looked at the madam in front of him: "Ordinary people don't ask these things."

The madam looked at him for a long time, smiled and stood up and walked out: "It's because I'm talking too much."

She walked to the door and lifted the cotton curtain. At this moment, a loud bell suddenly came out of the door. The bell sounded quickly, and one sound came from Guyuan City, and it rang twelve times!

In Longmen Inn, everyone's expressions changed: "No, the long bell of the border army, Jing Chao is here!"

When the bell rang out, dark clouds suddenly came from above the sky, and the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were gone.

It was as if Jing Chaotiance's army had come from the sky, which was suffocating.

Jing Chao, it's really here!

The madam was still holding her way to lift the curtain, as if she was fixed on the spot by the bell. The next moment, she quickly left. The guests in the inn also stood up and rushed out of the inn in a hurry.

"Go away quickly and stock up on food!"

"Sell the goods in your hands now!"

In a blink of an eye, the lively inn became deserted, leaving only the dishes on the table and the melon seeds on the ground, and the mess.

In the store, only the shopkeepers, Xiao Wu, Chen Ji, Zhang Zheng, Zhang Xia and Xiao Man were left, as if the noise just now was illusion.

Xiao Wu was cleaning the house with a broom and dustpan. He asked Chen Ji, "Customer, we are afraid we will close early today. Do you want to eat some staple food? If you eat, I will call the kitchen to give you a bowl of sauce.

noodle."

Chen Ji suddenly asked, "I asked you about it. Is the Third Master very famous in Guyuan?"

Xiao Wu was slightly stunned and subconsciously turned back to see the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter, without even raising his eyelids, and held a brush to record today's accounts.

Xiao Wu looked at Chen Ji and smiled shyly, "Call, the news of our Longmen Inn is not for nothing."

Zhang Xia took out a silver ingot of ten taels and pushed it to the edge of the table: "Tell me."

Xiaowu shook his head: "The news related to the Third Master will cost fifty taels."

Zhang Xia thought for a moment, then took out four more silver ingots and placed them on the table.

Xiao Wumei smiled and put the silver ingot into his arms: "The guest official is open and bright, no wonder he can do big business and make a fortune!"

Zhang Zheng ate the melon seeds and said, "Stop talking about it, hurry up."

Xiao Wu leaned on a broom and recalled: "The Third Master was originally a big shot in the border army and was a military officer next to General Wen Tao... Everyone, do you know what official position you are when you join the army?"

Zhang Xia said calmly: "In the border army, the chief general, the second deputy general, the third army, the third army, the third army, the third army was the third person in the border army? I remember that the previous border army was named Hu Junyuan, who was the current one.

Is it him, General Hu Junxian's cousin?"

Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide: "What's the origin of a girl? You are not from me, Guyuan, do you even know this?"

"I'm awesome girl," Zhang Zheng laughed happily, "You continue to say."

Xiaowu continued: "When he was still in the border army in the early years, he decided the rules of Guyuan. He had the final say on what he could do and what he could not do. The young people in Guyuan City all dreamed of

One day he became a person like him. At first, everyone called him Hu San Ge, but later he gradually became Hu San Master, but he suddenly left the Guyuan border army eight years ago and didn't know where he went. Some people said he followed him

A big shot, some people said that he was planning to avenge General Wen Tao. After he left, Guyuan gradually became a little unruly."

Zhang Xia suddenly asked, "What is his relationship with your shopkeeper?"

Xiao Wu pretended to be stupid: "It doesn't matter."

Zhang Xia brought the silver ingots on the table back in front of him: "You don't tell the truth, we won't buy this news from you."

Xiao Wu looked at Yinzi and was anxious: "The third master and our shopkeeper used to be..."

"cough!"

Xiao Wu turned around and saw the shopkeeper looking at him coldly behind the counter: "I think I'm long-lasting? Get out of here!"

Xiao Wu shrank his neck and hurriedly limped away with a broom.

Chen Ji laughed and clasped his fists at the shopkeeper and said, "I don't intend to find out about the shopkeeper's private affairs. I'm sorry for it."

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said nothing: "It's okay."

Chen Ji got up and walked upstairs, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Judging from the resume of Mr. Hu San, no matter how he looked, he shouldn't have anything to do with him.

It's strange.

...

...

After Chen Ji and others went upstairs, the shopkeeper was lowering his head to make a bill, but he saw someone lifting the cotton curtain and coming in.

He looked up and found that it was the Hongxiuzhao's madam who had gone back.

The shopkeeper asked casually: "Why are you here? I advise you not to cause trouble in my inn, otherwise you will not be allowed."
