Chapter 126: I'm a thief, what's the matter?
"This is all made up by the fourth brother in half a year, and half a year ago this was still a wasteland on the river beach."
Pan Jinling took Yan Sanniang into the market, and the kung fu girl suddenly entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, the focus of her eyes was dilated, and Pan Jinling's words also seemed ethereal.
The market is not unseen, and the market called "Qingtian Market" is not too big, but when you enter the door, you will see a big sign with this market drawn on it. The collection is also divided into several large pieces, each with its own sold. For example, grains, meat, vegetables, eggs, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are together, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks are together, as well as shoes, hats, cloths, silks, needles and threads, and iron and gold tools are also divided into one area. Each district does not disturb each other, and Yan Sanniang's eyes are full of stars.
"This ...... Is this always on? ”
Yan Sanniang is difficult to understand, isn't the market open every other day?
In fact, in this era, the markets in prosperous places are almost always opened, but Yan Sanniang has little knowledge, thinking that the world is still the kind of ancient market in a remote county.
"Yes, it's always open, as long as it's white, buy and sell at any time."
Pan Jinling took her towards the clothing and sewing area, Yan Sanniang turned her head to look around, and saw that although the market was full of people, it was orderly, and there was no mess in the general market on the ground.
Walking to a shop, a mother-in-law greeted her with a warm smile, and called Doctor Pan in her mouth, and then remembered that the pedestrians all the way just now seemed to be saluting this golden bell, Yan Sanniang woke up to her really a well-known doctor.
"Aunt Ma, your batch of gauze has too many threads, is the worker lazy? I can't take this goods, you can send them again and use them. ”
Pan Jinling said lightly, but Aunt Ma didn't defend herself, she only nodded again and again to apologize, and then took a list handed over by Pan Jinling. Yan Sanniang couldn't understand it, so she just stood aside obediently, and at the same time looked at the colorful fabrics on the surrounding shops with some envy.
Then she lowered her head, and two men wearing "patrol" clothes walked over, who should be the official messengers in the market. The main thing is to collect taxes, and by the way, to do things that deceive the good and bully the good, judging by her experience, most of them are in the afterlife.
"If something really happens, you have to protect Dr. Pan."
Seeing that the two of them came over, Yan Sanniang clenched her fists and had a plan.
"Hello Doctor Pan!"
Then it sounded a respectful greeting, Pan Jinling still responded lightly, and then led Yan Sanniang away. The two stood in front of the shop and chatted with Aunt Ma, vaguely listening to what it was, "Xiao Xie said that the tooth list before the New Year should be filled, and the aunt remembered not to be too different from the tooth list in the previous month", it seemed that they were not collecting taxes, and their tone was even like serving tea and water to Aunt Ma.
Yan Sanniang couldn't help but ask curiously after all, how could the inspector of this market be so polite, Pan Jinling smiled.
"They are just wearing patrol uniforms, but they are actually the managers of Qingtian Commercial Bank, doing things for the merchants of this market."
Commercial firm? Handling?
"Sister Yan, we don't have an official government, or rather, the government can't control it."
As soon as Pan Jinling said, Yan Sanniang glared, sounding like a thief...... "Whether it is a farmer, a craftsman, or a businessman, everyone only needs to deal with the people under the fourth brother, not only the commercial tax of the market, but also the national tax of the imperial grain, which is handled by the fourth brother on behalf of everyone." The hand of the government can't reach here, even those ......"
Pan Jinling pointed to the corner of the market, where there is a pavilion, there are two men standing, one is the "door" brand clothes, the other is the "shop" brand clothes, this is the ordinary market will have bad people, doors and shops, in charge of fire prevention and theft.
"The official errands are also all played by the fourth brother's subordinates, and they are just dealing with the government's visits."
Pan Jinling knows everything about Yan Sanniang.
"That Aunt Ma just now, she sold goods and paid taxes to Qingtian Commercial Bank, and then the commercial bank handed it over to the government, so that the government would not interfere, and naturally there would be no exploitation by the government."
Yan Sanniang frowned: "Isn't that business house exploiting?" ”
Pan Jinling shook his head with a smile: "He dare!?" The person below stretched out his hand, and Aunt Ma could tell Xiao Xie, the steward of the firm, and let Xiao Xie rectify it. Xiao Xie doesn't rectify it, but the guards in the market have been there, and they can tell the fourth brother through them. ”
She went on to say deeply: "Actually...... This business house has Aunt Ma's share, and everyone is doing business together, what are you doing with your own people? ”
Yan Sanniang didn't understand this, anyway, she probably understood that the market here was really a paradise.
Li Xi ...... Who the hell is it? ”
Yan Sanniang was very depressed, and she couldn't understand that guy more and more, as if she was standing in front of the villagers and stopping all the hands of the government on himself, this is a rebellion? I have never seen such an anti-thief...... "Fourth brother, he is a fairy." ”
Pan Jinling's evaluation came from the heart, seeing Yan Sanniang who was shocked by her words, Pan Jinling's heart was slightly sour, she came to greet Yan Sanniang, it was Li Shi's instructions. Hearing Li Xi say, "You don't have to defend her, you can tell her what you know", Pan Jinling was thinking, could this be the woman Li Xi liked?
Taking advantage of Yan Sanniang's stunned, Pan Jinling looked at it again, and sighed in her heart, Yan Sanniang's appearance, if she were a man, she would also beg for it. And her aura is really faintly matched with Li Shi, and there is a hard aura in her eyes that it is impossible to bow her head to anyone.
"Does Sanniang have something you like? Just go around this market, it doesn't matter if you don't have any money, my sister will pay it first, and then I will pay it back to you if I go back to the fourth brother. ”
Pan Jinling dragged Yan Sanniang into the water.
"Little thief! I just remembered that you killed my mule! This time, you will have to pay hard! ”
Thinking of her loss, Yan Sanniang gritted her teeth and suddenly entered a state of hard work.
Carrying a large pile of things back to his father's hospital room in Zhuangzili, Yan Sanniang's mind subsided from the shopping frenzy and began to think about the "deal" mentioned by Li Xian.
"Strange people...... Still haven't seen it through. ”
She feels that she is a martial artist, even if she doesn't teach the sect and only teaches ordinary skills, she has to look at the right people. And this Li Shi, who said that he was a thief, did not see anyone harmful, but he could be said to be a pure and kind person, and his methods of dealing with his father and daughter were very bad, and his behavior in Zhuangzi was also very strange. What the hell this guy is, she has to see.
At dusk, the slender figure shuttled rapidly in the courtyard, only a slight dust was brought up under his feet, and it was even harder to hear the sound, the guards patrolled back and forth, but the figure could hold the gap, and in a moment it approached the Tingtao Tower, and was not discovered by anyone.
"Whew...... Following the master's cultivation in the mountains and forests really worked, and it was only to blame that guy's subordinates for being too incompetent. ”
Yan Sanniang laughed at Li Xi's poor security level, and his figure lightly climbed up to Tingtao Tower, along the corner of the building, and in a moment he went up to the top third floor, and the lights were on on that floor.
"Luo Heng's side, I asked him to go back to Hunan after the New Year to contact his fellow villagers to plant castor beans."
Li Shi was indeed inside, talking to Duan Hongshi.
"Castor?"
Duan Hongshi was surprised.
"Yes, castor, I won't see much this year, but it will be useful next year. I am ready to invest at least 30,000 taels of silver in them, and when the time comes, I can bring at least tens of thousands of people to live on us. ”
This is an experiment by Li Shi, an experiment extended from the horse lantern.
"Tens of thousands...... It's far from enough, 10,000 a year, if you want to hold Guangdong, it will take a thousand years. ”
Duan Hongshi was not in high spirits.
"The stone-throwing effect, ten with ten, ten with hundred, so that the villagers have a good time, can this news not spread?"
Li Xi is very confident.
"Hehe, you let the villagers have a good time, but the Tartar court will not have a good time."
Yiming went upstairs on the old road, and when he heard Li Shi's words, he smiled and accosted.
"I just don't let it pass."
Li Xian laughed, and then Lao Dao suddenly raised his finger and shouted.
"Something doesn't feel right......"
Lao Dao pushed open the window, looked left and right, shrugged his shoulders, and found nothing.
The window closed, and the figure attached to the corner of the eaves like a sculpture slipped quietly, and when it landed, it spun in place like a headless fly.
He ...... He's such a thief! ”
Yan Sanniang only felt that her heart was beating hard, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Hear that?"
After a while, Li Shi's voice suddenly sounded, and Yan Sanniang almost jumped up in fright.
Of course, Yiming Lao Dao is not a martial arts master, but he has been cultivating for a long time, and he has his own set of health and fitness skills, and his perception is also keen. He felt something strange and didn't find anything, but Li Xian thought of a possibility, came down and looked, and sure enough.
But Li Xian was not nervous, he had already said it bluntly before, pinching the index, and knowing clearly that Li Xian was going to rebel, Yan Sanniang was only a third person.
"You...... Really want to rebel? ”
Yan Sanniang asked with trembling lips, Li Xian had a surprised expression on his face that you only know now.
"Why?"
Although Yan Sanniang has the backbone of not being bullied, she always feels that it is still a big taboo about rebellion, and it is only the government and the wicked people who harm her, and she has never seriously thought about opposing the court. But based on her master's vague background and her stubborn surname, she has natural sympathy for the rebels, but she has not been in contact with her before, and suddenly Li Xi is such a "sinister and cunning" thief, and she is really difficult to adapt to in her heart.
She subconsciously asked why, and Li Shi responded with a natural smile, as if rebellion was above board, but her questioning was sneaky and unsightly.
"Didn't you say that? People can't be bullied, whoever bullies must oppose whom, since the court wants to bully the people, then why not rebel? ”
Li Xian's words made Yan Sanniang breathless, this was her original words, but ...... "But this...... It's different, the government...... Court...... Tartar ......"
Yan Sanniang was a little incoherent, she wanted to cut off her connection with Li Shi.
"It's the same, Sanniang, you know."
Li Shi still had that expression, but his gaze penetrated deep into Yan Sanniang's pupils, shattering all her resistance.
"Rebellion...... How could it be ......?"
Yan Sanniang still seemed to want to convince Li Xian so that she could no longer face the feeling that made her afraid of something.
"You also said that whether you can succeed is one thing, and whether you want to do it is another."
Li Shi's smile looked like his own demons were dancing in Yan Sanniang's eyes.
"I ...... It's just a woman, why are you telling me this? ”
Yan Sanniang was in extreme contradiction, but Li Xian laughed.
"I just asked you to be my leader, and I didn't want you to rebel with me, what are you afraid ......of?"
That's right...... Why do I ask myself if I want to rebel too?
Yan Sanniang's mind suddenly relaxed, and then she felt that she was actually sweating on her forehead.
After a moment of silence, Yan Sanniang's mood calmed down, and she began to be angry with why she was so out of shape just now, and naturally planted the reason on Li Xian. This little thief is so demagogic! What a leader, I'm not as good as you like!
Just as he was about to say no, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a faint figure walking by, walking towards the place where he had been imprisoned before. When I looked closely, it was Guan Xuan, who was holding a futon, shrugging her shoulders as if she was sobbing lowly.
"What's wrong with Guan Xuan?"
Although she was so angry with the little girl that she wanted to vomit blood before, seeing her pitiful appearance, Yan Sanniang subconsciously asked.
"She violated the rules and went down to the dungeon without permission, and since she likes the dungeon so much, let her stay there for two days, and she should be punished for making mistakes."
Li Xi frowned slightly, and there was a small entanglement in his heart. Guan Xuan instigated Pan Shiyu to take her down to the dungeon to see Yan Sanniang, and he was very angry when he learned about it. Fortunately, it's Yan Sanniang, and I'm going to change to another person, so I don't know what danger there will be, the little girl is really spoiled...... Therefore, Pan Shiyu was sent to the mountains to pan for gold, and Guan Xuan also had to stay in the dungeon and reflect well.
"You! That's how you bully little girls! You're still not a man!? ”
Yan Sanniang roared, and her figure shot out like lightning, and she grabbed Guan Xuan.
"Good! I promise you! But you're not allowed to put her in a dungeon! ”
Yan Sanniang held her head high, looking like an old hen protecting her cubs.
Li Xian sighed and shook his head, "No." ”
Yan Sanniang was about to shout, but her hand was pulled by Guan Xuan: "Sister Yan, if you make a mistake, you should be punished, don't speak for me, I am ...... It's ......"
Guan Xuan looked at Li Shi with teary eyes: "I'm just afraid of the dark...... Woohoo......"
Yan Sanniang stomped her feet: "That's good, I won't be out of the dungeon either!" ”
Seeing Yan Sanniang escorting Guan Xuan towards the dungeon, Li Shi was also scratching his head, how could he feel that things didn't taste right?
took out two pieces of hard paper from her body, one was a portrait of a girl with teeth and claws, with the words "Sister Yan" written on it, and there were a few lines of small characters under the avatar.
"Force: 90, Commander: I don't know."
"Intelligence: 60, Politics: I don't know."
"Charm: 90, surname: completely incompatible."
"Evaluation: If there is no fourth brother to tie up, he will be ambushed."
Li Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, he used the Three Kingdoms game to give Guan Xuan an example of ability assessment in his spare time, and the little girl actually remembered it firmly and learned to use it.
Look at the other one, which reads "Fourth Brother".
"Force: 100, Command: 100."
"Intelligence: 100, Politics: 100."
"Charm: 100, surname: the most compatible with Guan Xuan."
"Evaluation: The fourth brother is a monkey descending from the earth."
The head on the paper was a monkey head with pointed ears and monkey gills, and Li Xi smiled, but it was a lament.
"I was going to go into the dungeon at night to accompany Guan Xuan, Yan Sanniang, what kind of excitement are you making!"
