Chapter 456 472. Ask for help from peers 50
The two noble gentlemen were born into wealthy families and both have good looks, but compared to Yun Tutu, who is disguised as a man, their facial features are still a bit rougher.
"Brother Zhang," Xu Jiang of course had to introduce the two distinguished guests first, "this is the second young master Xu from Lord Xu Shangshu's residence, and this one is the third young master Li from the Hanlin family."
“You two gentlemen, this is what I used to do before Mr. Zhang, he has a batch of goods to be shipped out.”
After Xu Jiang introduced him, he told the other middle-aged man to leave. The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Yaowen curiously and wanted to speak. He said something, but Xu Jiang pulled him away.
Second Young Master Xu has been looking at Zhang Yaowen and the others since they came in. He doesn't think these two are just ordinary merchants. He can see the shadow of his father in this elder.
However, my father spent his whole life in the army. If the emperor had not been jealous and was transferred to the imperial city to serve as Minister of War, he would be at the border now.
Seeing Zhang Yaowen, he couldn't help but have a good feeling in his heart, "You two are here, please sit down."
Master Li San on the side looked at Zhang Yaowen curiously. Yesterday Xu Jiang He also looked at the items that were delivered to him. They were indeed a bit strange. He wanted to understand why the needle could be automatic?
Everyone knows why they are here and will soon get to the topic.
Zhang Yaowen and the others naturally came prepared. They took samples of every item and placed them on the table. They could keenly notice that the two young men's breathing stopped for a moment.
What Xu Jiang said is indeed true. The character of Mr. Xu is not bad. Although there is a price reduction in the middle, it is still within the acceptable range.
"You have to promise to hand over everything to us," Mr. Xu said after reading everything.
He has already made up his mind that some of them will be sent to the palace, and the rest he has to let the caravan below operate well, trying to distribute these items to every place to ensure that they can be sold at a high price.
"This..." Zhang Yaowen was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, because we want to give some as a thank you gift to Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and soon he smiled with relief and said, "Yes, Xu Jiang helped us build the bridge. We can't do anything like tearing down the bridge.
Let's do this, you give them a thank you gift , I will also prepare one here, so I can’t let him work in vain.”
The matter was settled quickly. From beginning to end, Mr. Li San and Yun Tutu were like background boards, without them speaking. opportunity.
Yun Tutu saw that Third Young Master Li wanted to ask questions out of curiosity several times, but in the end he didn't know whether it was because of Second Young Master Xu or because he had some concerns, so he didn't speak.
Yun Tutu is most afraid of being hesitant to talk, and it is impossible to take the initiative to stir up trouble. Otherwise, she will be asked endless questions, and she does not want to be a teacher anymore.
After the matter was discussed, it was time to deliver the goods. Mr. Xu immediately said that to complete the transaction as soon as possible, it would be best to get the goods tomorrow.
Zhang Yaowen thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement, promising to pay and deliver the goods early tomorrow morning.
Second Master Xu ordered a table of good wine and food to be served at the inn, and then left in a hurry with Mr. Li Third Master.
Such a large deal requires a lot of gold. Even if the Xu family is a century-old family, they still have to find a way to take advantage of it.
After enjoying another free meal, Yun Tutu expressed that he was satisfied, and he did not forget to go to the room to call Chen Yuxi.
When the two of them returned to the private room, Zhang Yaowen was already chatting happily with Xu Jiang. There was a big package next to Xu Jiang. It seemed that Zhang Yaowen had fulfilled his promise.
The most important thing now is to find a place to put the supplies. Unexpectedly, Xu Jiang was so enthusiastic and willing to lend a separate courtyard so that they could go there first for convenience.
This is really a good person I met when I went out. Yun Tutu now somewhat believes the reputation of Xu Jiang from the outside world, and his conduct as a person is nothing to say.
When we arrived at the other courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, we didn’t expect that the distance from where they parked their RV was not very far. After choosing a few rooms to store supplies tomorrow, the group returned to the imperial city.
Just as I was about to take a good stroll and buy some more unique specialties here, I heard a commotion.
With nothing to do, it was quite nice to eat melons, and a few people crowded in with the crowd.
After inquiring, I found out that the convoy escorted by Magistrate Ming and others had arrived.
“I heard that the monster’s claws require a carriage to transport each claw. I also heard this from the son-in-law of my third uncle’s second nephew.”
"Is he so well informed?"
"Hey, he also heard what his wife's uncle said. He heard that someone in the family was working in the imperial city. The news was reported two days ago. The nobleman even sent someone to inquire..."
“Do you really think there are monsters?” Some people also questioned, “It’s not a gimmick created by officials who want to take credit.”
“It shouldn’t be that big. Dare to bully Sir, otherwise this thing will be exposed when it reaches the imperial city."
"Then your news is too backward. I was washing dishes in the inn and heard the merchants discuss it."
The grandma who said this still had a mysterious face, which made people on the side sigh. "Old woman, don't show off after hearing those few words. What people from all walks of life say is not trustworthy at all.
Those merchants can usually make up several stories for you in order to brag about their products. "
Grandma was anxious, "I don't buy anything from them, why are they making up stories to lie to me?
It’s true, they came from Nanyue City, and the prefect who was going to give the treasure was from Nanyue City.
I heard that there were monsters in their place some time ago, which made people panic, but the prefect gave them a silence order.
I heard that the monster killed many people, and the people of Nanyue City did not dare to go out in the middle of the night.
I just didn't expect that the monster would be killed in just a few days, and I don't know which warrior did it. "
"I think this is all a lie. Monsters can't be killed so easily. They must be pieced together to deceive those noble people. "
The people on the side felt that this was reasonable. Monsters are legendary existences. How could they be killed so easily.
As they spoke, some people began to guess that this What will the magistrate face next?
If the difference between the story and the tribute is too big, not to mention the official career, my life will be about the same
There were so many people coming to watch that the gate of the city was already blocked.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city came to maintain order and leave a path for the convoy entering the city.
Zhang Yaowen and Yun Tutu both sighed in their hearts. The prefect was really a fan of officials. They had already told him the stakes and still brought things into the city. They could only hope for the best from him. transport.
Ming Zhifu was also very nervous and deliberately rearranged the decoration before entering the city, but the stench emanating from the carriage carriage could not be covered up even if it was stuffed with spices.
