It was already dark, and a bitter cold wind blew from the river, with a biting chill.

Xu Ping and Sang Yi sat in a corner, drinking through a briquette stove. The sorghum Daqu, which was named "Forget Worries" by Shi Yannian, has become more mellow for a long time, but unfortunately Xu Ping and Sang Yi are not alcoholics, and they have not tasted anything.

Amidst laughter, five or six coolies from the dock entered the shed from the outside, and went to the middle to find a brightly lit table and sat down.

The little guy came over, and a few people ordered food and drinks, and they got together to talk about some fun.

Xu Ping didn't pay attention, but heard a faint voice coming: "Song Ada, you are tall and burly, and you are a talent, how can you not compare to Qin Er, who is like a thin monkey?" You see, that Granny Hong went to his shop again. What do you think they can do on such a cold night? ”

That Song Ah said in a rough voice: "It's a hotel there, what's so strange about Granny Hong going!" I've told you about it a long time ago, that woman has already done everything with me! ”

Xu Ping only frowned when he heard these nonsense. Granny Hong is middle-aged and widowed, and it's nothing to find another man, but it's not good to find a few at the same time. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, if a woman commits adultery with more than three people, she will be regarded as a miscellaneous household, and a separate book will be established, which is actually regarded as a secret prostitute by the government.

On the road outside the shed, a lantern flickered, and I don't know who was walking at night.

Xu Ping's mind flashed, he remembered something, glanced at Sang Yi, got up and walked out of the wine shed.

Sang Yi understood, came out to follow Xu Ping, and asked him in a low voice, "What do you think of?" ”

Xu Ping said: "Let's go to Qin Er's shop." ”

After saying that, he hurried on the road first.

Sang Yi had no choice but to follow.

When I arrived at the Sang Yi shop, I saw a lookout in front of the door, two lanterns were hung, and there was no one in front of the door. The door was hidden, and I think there were still people in it to greet business.

Xu Ping shook his head at Sang Yi, didn't go to the main gate, and went around to the back of the courtyard.

Behind the main house was a firewood house, and there was a barn for the animals, but they were all empty at this time.

Sang Yi asked in a low voice, "What is the little owner going to do?" ”

Xu Ping said: "Don't you listen to those coolies, did Granny Hong come here?" ”

"So what? Are we going to listen to their walls? ”

Xu Ping looked at Sang Yi and nodded: "I remembered something, I had no choice, so I had to go and verify it." I had to do this shameless thing with Xiucai. ”

After speaking, he jumped over the courtyard wall, and with a force of his arms, he climbed up.

Xu Ping has done a lot of farm work in the past six months, and his body is very strong. When he was free, he often asked Sang Yi for advice on fighting skills, and his skills improved a lot, and he could defeat a few big men empty-handed.

Seeing that Xu Ping had already entered, Sang Yi was impatient, so he had to turn over and follow.

The layout of this kind of house is mostly the same, and the two of them bent down to the window of the master room, and when they saw the light on inside, they leaned down and listened.

Sure enough, there was a man and a woman inside, and there was a heavy wheezing sound.

Sang Yi had the heart to go. Although he had done this kind of late-night secret visit before, he had no experience of squatting outside the window and listening to men and women doing things, and it was not a gentleman's doing.

Xu Ping grabbed him and signaled quiet.

After a while, the room was quiet, and the clouds stopped raining.

First, Qin Huailiang's voice: "Sister, since you did it, why did you only take one collar at a time?" I've already saved a lot of money, when will this be done? ”

Then came Granny Hong's voice: "Erlang, you should be content." The thousands of taels of silver are watched closely by the master's family, especially the master's mother who guards them every day like a treasure. I have to change a spindle to come out of a spindle, not too little, it's really not easy, so I have to go a long time. ”

Hearing this, Sang Yi also understood something, and glanced at Xu Ping.

Xu Ping just secretly scolded himself for being stupid, thinking of looking for a big businessman to sell stolen goods. At this time, in Baisha Town, or even in Zhongmu County, isn't it his family who has a large amount of silver at home? Before he could find someone, they had already hit him with the idea.

After these days, Li Duanyi did not deal with the sugar matter neatly, but took orders for five tricycles for Xu Ping. It is said that all the princes and nobles asked for it, and none of them bargained for two thousand taels of silver, and they all generously paid a fixed amount of one thousand taels of silver in advance. The Xu family's silver stock at this time has risen rapidly to 7,000 taels, and when the goods are handed over after the year, they will save more than 10,000 taels of silver at home, which can catch up with the scale of many wealthy families in the capital. hooked Xu Zheng to the point of itching, and he was determined to sell the restaurant and concentrate on going home to make cars with his son. Or Xu Ping persuaded to stay a few more industries, who knows which cloud will rain.

Zhang Sanniang was straightforward, she couldn't hide things in her heart, and she wanted to show that her son was capable, so she had already publicized the matter of Xu Ping exchanging a tricycle for silver.

Xu Ping really should have thought that someone would target his family.

Inside, Granny Hong said: "There are one hundred taels of these two collars, and I will give them to you." I tell you, there are the marks of the palace on them, be extra careful, be sure to re-transform them before taking them out. Otherwise, we will be caught by the horse's feet, and our lives will not be saved. ”

Qin Huailiang said: "Sister rest assured, the people who teach me are all veterans in this industry, and they will never show their flaws and be caught." ”

Granny Hong said again: "Didn't the two warlocks say that they want to save some money to go back to their hometown, how much? I've changed five or six hundred taels here, why isn't it enough? ”

Qin Huailiang whispered comfortingly: "Sister doesn't know, this line seems to have money, but the capital is also a lot." Not to mention how much money it costs to turn copper, even the medicine they use to ignite is worth a lot of money. ”

Granny Hong's voice softened: "Erlang, you don't just want to run errands for people, serve dim sum and learn what medicine they use, and learn a long-term craft." ”

Qin Huailiang said: "Sister said it easily! Those two people regard this method as very precious, and they don't let me know at all, even the medicine is bought and prepared by themselves, where can I learn it? ”

The two of them were in the house for a while, and Qin Huailiang sighed: "Sister, let's exchange a few hundred taels more, send those two foreigners away, and the rest will be ours." At that time, we will redeem the jade lady and make your son a daughter-in-law, and our family will move to a place where no one knows, and with this silver, we will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime! ”

Granny Hong's voice was a little unwilling: "Who are those two foreign monks?" How dare you do such a big thing? If there is no means, Jiro might as well-"

The voice was interrupted suddenly, as if Qin Huailiang had covered his mouth.

After a while, I heard Qin Huailiang's voice: "Sister, don't think like this, those two are both study tours, full of poems and books, and endless schemes!" A rough man like me, where can I calculate them! Besides, they are all with swords, they are agile, and they can fight big insects, where do they dare to move their minds! ”

Granny Hong sighed: "What Erlang said, is the Xu family a good match?" The old one is okay, but the little one is not just as ruthless! Don't talk about these things, I'm scared every day! ”

Qin Huailiang comforted Granny Hong: "Sister is wronged! It would be nice to endure it for a few more days. ”

After that, it was all the love words of some men and women, and the matter of silver was not mentioned again.

It took another half an hour before Granny Hong got up and left.

Sang Yi leaned close to Xu Ping's ear and asked, "Do you want to take these two down?" At this time, it is a combination of stolen goods! ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Don't worry, put a long line to catch a big fish, these are just two small shrimps." Now that the idea has hit me, I'm going to dig up this gang and see who the sacredness is! ”

There is another sentence that Xu Ping did not say, even if this group of people exchanged the silver from his house, they would not be able to spend it for a while. As long as he catches someone, the money will still be his.
