The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

Compared with Shan Yangze, the second-in-command of the West Factory, who is a bit like a senior technical consultant, the supervisor who has to take care of all aspects is much busy. Although it is said that they are sending Shan Yangze out of the palace, the two hurried all the way to Donghua Standing at the gate, the governor said: "You will follow me to the former site of Yujianzhai tomorrow afternoon. They have already cleaned up almost everything. Although the first seven days have passed, you are good at This way, let’s see if we can find any clues.”

Shan Yangze nodded, and said: "The person who can do this must be someone that Boss Ji trusts very much." He recalled the previous meeting with Boss Ji, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and said: "Have you thought about it?" , He has such a big shop, and there are branches in Chang'an City, why is there no elderly guy in the store? We went to the shop in Beijing, and the shop in Chang'an City, and the guys we met were mostly in their 30s and [-]s Young man, thinking about it now, it's really strange."

Governor nodded slightly tiredly, and said: "I have already sent someone to investigate. It is said that after the establishment of this dynasty, the original store in Yuan Dynasty changed its name and changed its location before it opened. Speaking of Yujianzhai, it has been around for more than a hundred years. We have been there several times, and none of the guys we have seen are in their fifties. The shop in Chang'an City is newly opened, so why is there no old shopkeeper? Let’s talk about shops in the capital. The test of antique business is eyesight. Although Boss Ji is here, he is only very old. Other pawnshops and antique shops, even those who sell calligraphy and painting, have a person who is in charge. So Yujianzhai’s Where did this person go?"

Following the governor's train of thought, Shan Yangze said: "So, the first time we went to his shop, we were treated as rabbits." Shan Yangze paused, thinking about Qianling's experience, and said: " It is certain that Boss Ji is dead, but there must be someone behind him. By the way, didn’t he say that there are two weird people who can see yin and yang, have you found them?”

The Governor shook his head while talking, "No, I have no clue. Your Majesty is right, but there is something wrong with my first errand."

The two stood at the gate of Donghua and said a few words, Shan Yangze said: "This time, we are the only ones going, and there is no one else. Besides, only you and I know about the things found in the Qianling Mausoleum. Even if some of Boss Ji's subordinates escape, it won't cause a big storm."

The supervisor nodded, finally showing a little smile on his face, and said: "It is because of this majesty that I am allowed to make amends, otherwise the person who followed you out this time will have to be replaced." He looked at the sky and said "You go back, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Speaking of tomorrow's itinerary, the Governor frowned again involuntarily, and said: "You can see that the fire is very strange. The street where Yujianzhai is located On the left and right, there are mostly antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops, or pawnshops. Although the fire burned extremely, the two shops on the left and right were intact, as if something had covered Yujianzhai, and the fire could only Burn it in there."

After leaving the Qianling Mausoleum, the governor ordered Yujianzhai to be sealed up. He thought it was the end of the matter, but who would have thought that there would be such a big trouble later, the governor sighed and said: "Forget it, I have something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."

When Shan Yangze returned to the Huitong Hall, it was already dark. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a black dog coming up wagging its tail.Shan Yangze sighed in his heart, pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "Look at you, how long has it been, you're still a dog!" Originally, he wanted to say that he had been practicing all day long and had been put into the dog's stomach, but he changed his mind Thinking about it, isn't it a dog's belly, so I changed the bland reprimand.

To say that this was the first time that Shanyangze had put his face down to scold it, the black dog groaned, drooped its tail, and ran to heal his wounds.

Shan Yangze entered the room, saw Guo Qian glanced at him and said: "It recruited you? If you hadn't carried them around all day, why are they still in their original bodies?"

Shan Yangze smiled on his face, but his heart was a little sad. Although Guo Qian's reaction was similar to what he thought, Dahei and Erhei obviously couldn't get around Guo Qian. Isn't it necessary to follow the Tao, so it is better to send them back to Montenegro first, and wait until... or he goes back alone, or he goes back with Guo Qian.

Shan Yangze thought about it again, and said solemnly: "We will leave for Gaochang in two days. I thought it would not be very useful to take them with me. Besides, it has been almost two years. Although they hurt It's almost done, but there is no progress in practice. It's better to let them go back to Montenegro, so that they can be with Huai Shu." Shan Yangze sighed and said: "It's better to work hard with Huai Shu."

"Follow you." Guo Qian's expression darkened when he heard the word Gao Chang, and he reacted immediately and said, "You almost got me in! Let me ask you, did you lure the heavens into the palace today! That divine thunder is easy to deal with, you—”

Shan Yangze hurriedly sat beside him, pulled his little hand, and Guo Qian stopped talking.Shan Yangze said with a smile: "I can control it well. I cultivated according to the method you taught, and my skill has increased a lot."

"How many times have I told you." Guo Qian said with a look of hatred on his face, "Increasing skill is not a good thing, you have to practice control first."

"Don't worry about it." Shan Yangze said: "I'm controlling it very well now, only a small corner of the talisman was torn off, and besides, there is still an emperor in the palace, so nothing can go wrong."

"What if?" Guo Qian hurriedly said again: "The old Taoist priest is in the palace, and it is said that the fan monk who lives next door to us also went to the palace today, if they see something, what are you going to do? What if What would you do if you really lured Tianlei down?"

Although Guo Qian's tone is very bad, but the concern inside is beyond words, Shan Yangze is happy but also three points sad, the suspicion of Guo Qian is slightly reduced, and the guilt towards him and the dislike of himself have risen. , He said: "It won't happen again in the future." As he spoke, he squeezed Guo Qian's hand in his palm again, and said: "When we find your bones this time, shall we... try dual cultivation?"

Guo Qian froze for a moment, turned his head and whispered "Bah".

Shan Yangze felt a little regretful that he couldn't see him blushing, and said sternly: "This is a good idea, if the double cultivation can achieve something, in the future we will develop together, become immortals together, and be a pair of immortal companions."

Guo Qian "bah" again, but this time his tone was obviously shy, and there was a smile inside.

Shan Yangze said: "Let them go back tomorrow, we will live together for two days, and then we will leave for Gaochang."

Guo Qiandao: "Either take them with you, in case something happens, at least you can have a helper."

Shan Yangze didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so he stretched out his hand to pull him, and the two fell on the bed together, Shan Yangze reached out to hold Guo Qian in his arms, and slid his hand down the line of his back, Then he patted hard, and sure enough, Guo Qian lowered his head, and his body was still trembling slightly.

Shan Yangze said: "I'm disobedient again, come and sleep with your king for a while, I have to go out tomorrow morning."

Of course, Shan Yangze also felt a sense of crisis in his heart now, and he got up to practice after lying down for a while, and he and Guo Qian were still on the bed and the other on the roof.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, Shan Yangze was the first to come to his door.The name sticker says Qi Yujie of the Black Mountain Business League, is it the boss of Qi?What is he here for?Shan Yangze took the name card and asked someone to invite him in. He remembered the person who worked in the Huitong Hall before, but he didn't see him this time when he came back, so he didn't know if he was implicated.

Boss Qi has lost a lot of weight, his big belly is gone, and the skin on both sides of his face is slack, making him look ten years older.The previous high-spirited look has almost disappeared, and now Boss Qi always speaks with a sense of sadness. When he saw Shan Yangze, he sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that my subordinate Zhang San is actually Jin Yiwei. people!"

Shan Yangze gave up his seat and ordered tea again.

Boss Qi sat down and took a sip of tea, took out a small wooden box from his cuff, opened it and said, "This is the title deed of the store of the Montenegro Merchant League, the deed of the long-term shopkeeper and the deed of sale, I brought them all for you." .”

"You are..." Shan Yangze hesitated for a moment, thinking that Boss Qi might be trying to use his name to hide from the wind.

"Earlier, I thought about making a comeback, but Zhang San has worked under me for more than four years, and he has already figured out my bottom line. If I are still the boss, I am afraid that the government will pay close attention. , we discussed it a few times, why don't I let you do it." Boss Qi pushed the wooden box towards Shanyangze, and said: "You are an honest person, and you are favored by His Majesty, you can do it with the government. Go in the past." Boss Qi thought of Zhang San as he spoke, shook his head and said, "Unexpectedly, I was wrong."

Generally speaking, it is still a good thing, Shan Yangze thought about it, and decided to follow up, not for anything else, just to say that the king of Shu who has the heart of disobedience.He has never heard of the king of Shu plotting rebellion during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, not only during the Chenghua period, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty, so he thought that the king of Shu would not be able to cause any big waves, or his conspiracy Inverse events are actually just like a child's house wine. It may be that he has never put it into practice, or he was interrupted by something while he was still planning, and it is not even recorded in the history books.Thinking of this, Shan Yangze stretched out his hands to cover the stack of contracts, and said, "I've agreed first, I will only be a hands-off shopkeeper at most, and you will do the business, but the dividends at the end of the year must not be less."

After being told by Shan Yangze, Boss Qi felt relieved and said, "From now on, you will hire us!"

Shan Yangze nodded, and said: "But I have to put a few people in." Shan Yangze thought for a while that they capsized mainly because of the horse trade, and said, "The horse trade business can continue, but... ...The horses for the first two years can be handed over to His Majesty first."

Hearing this, Boss Qi was overjoyed. In fact, he had already earned enough money. Even if the Montenegro Merchant League collapsed, life was not as good as before, but there are still so many people waiting under the Merchant League. He had dinner, so he had to go out and run around again. He found a few competitors earlier, but none of them dared to take over. When they inquired that they were seized by Jin Yiwei, although they didn't know the inside story, they met Jin Yiwei. That's reasonable and inexplicable, and people won't listen to you at all.

After much deliberation, he finally found Shanyangze, and now that he heard that Shanyangze had a way to pay horses to His Majesty, Boss Qi felt that his brain was kicked by a donkey for delaying so many days earlier.Thinking of this, Boss Qi hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go back and discuss with them, and I will organize people to walk the tea-horse road in the spring of next year!"

Boss Qi left in a hurry, Guo Qian came out and asked, "Do you want to install people? Where do you get them? Or do you want to borrow some from Jin Yiwei?"

Shan Yangze weighed the cliff-jumping ghosts collected from the South Plank Road, and said: "Isn't this ready-made? Although the merchants have never done such a big business, it is perfect for surveillance. "Shanshou, there is no one in the backyard of the Shan family, but there are many ghosts.

Sending Boss Qi away, Shan Yangze was thinking about when the governor would come to pick him up, but Wantong came first.

Different from Boss Qi in front, Wantong, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, is now full of vigor and blushing. He strode in and said with a smile, "Did you receive the things I gave you?"

Gift?Shan Yangze was puzzled, but suddenly remembered Boss Qi who left just now, "Black Mountain Business Alliance?"

Wantong laughed and said, "My brother is a sensible person! It's not in vain that I sent people back and forth to intimidate and lure me!" He leaned back on the chair and shouted: "Serve tea!" After shouting, he turned his head and looked at the mountain Yang Ze said: "This case is handed over to Jin Yiwei, don't worry, what he said just now is because we deliberately scare him, that idiot King of Shu." Wantong thought about the scene when he led troops to spy on the palace of the King of Shu that day , smiled and said: "The weapons are all rusty, and the wooden handles on them are all rotten."

Shan Yangze nodded and said: "Let me tell you, when I met His Majesty that day, I couldn't hold back my itchy hands and made a calculation. At least he still has more than ten years to be the emperor. If he wants to come to Shu, he will become the king." Not the climate."

Hearing this, Wantong paused, and asked very cautiously: "Ten years? Your Majesty is less than thirty years old. If it is more than ten years..." Wantong calculated in his heart, isn't it because His Majesty is more than 40 years old? When you are old, you have to...

Shan Yangze knew what he was thinking at a glance. Zhu Jianshen had no love for Concubine Wan Gui because of the death of Concubine Wan Gui. Yang Ze whispered: "Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, and his fate can only be estimated at most, and it can only be counted for ten years. If it is too much, it will not be accurate."

Wantong heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Last year, I connected the canal with you, hahaha! I'm also a person in the history books now!" Wantong said, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said : "This is specially copied."

Shan Yangze took it over and took a look. In fact, it was just a short sentence: In the tenth year of Chenghua, the commander of Jinyiwei wanted to connect the Sui Yunhe.

Wantongtong... doesn't even have punctuation marks, I really don't know why he is happy.However, the river course and the like have always been a great achievement, so it is quite understandable for him to be so happy.

Wantong smiled and said: "Did you not see, the censors in the Yushitai group who pretend to be noble, and those Hanlins in the Imperial Academy who claim that they will never get along with me, and the old face of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Hahaha!"

Well, only then did Shan Yangze understand his coolness, it turned out that what he was after was a deep and complex relationship of love and hate.

Amidst Wantong's hearty and somewhat wilted laughter, the governor came in.

When Wantong saw him, he restrained his laughter a little, and the Governor frowned, and said, "The painting and calligraphy shop next to Yujianzhai died overnight."
