Chapter 92 The Enemy Appears
Chen Song was suddenly shocked and said in a daze, "I... was just speculating."
Mo Jin and others went through the back door and went to the restaurant opposite Shanhe Inn.
Qin Zhengyu was in the most secluded room, hiding behind the window. He turned the peep show and observed that dozens of merchants from the State of Yan walked into the Shanhe Inn.
The merchants came in wearing expensive outer clothes, with agates hanging around their necks and gems on their fingers, pushing boxes of goods.
Looking at them, Li Ziyan, who was holding the account book, had her eyes brightened. She asked Fu Gui, "You are also an old man in the inn. Do you know these people?"
Fu Gui bowed and said with a flattering smile, "To answer my madam, these dozens of merchants who come from afar come to the inn every year and book twenty of the best Tianzi rooms. They are our Shanhe Inn's most distinguished guests."
Li Zi Yan thought for a moment, a Tianzi room costs eight taels a night, and twenty Tianzi rooms for two months are close to ten thousand taels!
Does the Su family make money so quickly?
Li Ziyan was so greedy that she was almost drooling and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
The merchant took out a stack of banknotes and said, "The shopkeeper's cashier."
Li Ziyan hurried over to take pictures.
The merchant glanced at her and said, "The boss used to be a girl..."
"That's my daughter-in-law. I'm the one running this inn now. Just give me the money." Li Ziyan took the thick stack of banknotes and smiled widely. Then she whispered to Fu Gui, "You don't have to record this money in the account."
"Okay!" Fu Gui nodded.
If she doesn't record it in the account, the money will be hers.
Of course, the record is also hers.
Li Ziyan's mind was clattering with calculations.
Seeing that this person was greedy for money, the Yan merchant smiled and pulled out a pouch of gold from his sleeve. He said in an awkward Beijing accent, "Help me move something."
"I'll help you with something?" Li Ziyan's eyes widened. She took the gold and said with a smile, "Sure, sure."
"Since I'm from the capital, shipping goods will be very expensive and tax-heavy. Why don't you help me get this shipment in under your boss's name?" The Yan man smiled with a particularly simple and sincere smile. "The tax we'll save will be about five thousand taels of silver. I'll split it with you!"
"Haha." Li Ziyan applauded and cheered. "Sure, sure. Where's the stuff? I'll go right away."
"Boss, you're so straightforward!" The merchant was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Zi Yan to agree so quickly.
It would be foolish not to make money, especially when it’s just transporting goods!
Li Zi Yan was delighted. When she had more money, she would wear the most expensive clothes in the capital, the most beautiful hairpins, and buy the largest mansion!
The merchant sighed, "The former owner of the Shanhe Inn, Miss Su Qi, was very rigid. When we asked her to help transport goods, she said she would rather fight than do it."
"She has always been so stupid." Li Ziyan pointed at her head without hesitation and joked with the merchant, "There is something wrong with my daughter-in-law."
"Hahaha." Li Zi Yan and the merchants burst into laughter.
Fu Gui smiled behind her, but he was burning with anger in his heart.
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Zi Yan took a few servants from Shanhe Inn and went to a farm outside the capital to transport goods according to the address given by the merchant from Yan State.
She was also worried about the risks of transporting the items. After opening more than a dozen boxes and seeing that they were all Yan State jade and some specialty foods, she let down her guard and thought that this was easy money to make.
She handed over the goods to the servants and transported them all the way to the capital.
The soldiers at the city gate were patrolling as usual. They lifted the heavy blanket and saw six carriages in total. Each carriage had four or five large boxes. Just as they were about to open them,
Li Ziyan fanned herself, looking at the scorching sun. She was sweating profusely from the heat and took out the Marquis's Mansion token in frustration. "I'm buying a few things from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and you still need to check me? What a hassle."
Madam Ruiqing showed her token and said sternly, "You ignorant little soldiers, you've just joined the army, right? Don't delay the affairs of the Marquisate! Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!"
The new recruits looked at each other and quickly let them pass: "We are blind!"
Over there, the old soldier who was strictly checking the checkpoint didn't look this way.
The Marquis's wife glanced at them and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was just a small matter of helping the Yan people evade goods taxes, even if it was discovered, with the ability of Marquis Jing'an, he could use his connections to settle it, but Li Ziyan still didn't want to report it to Zhou Zhizhang.
Otherwise, Zhou Zhizhang would just feel that she could do nothing.
When the goods were being transported into the Shanhe Inn, Li Ziyan was leisurely waving a round fan, thinking complacently that it was still easier to make money from the Yan people!
She pointed at the box with her round fan, looking proud: "It's all here, dear guest. Where's the tax savings you promised me?"
The Yan merchant counted the dozen or so boxes, his face showing joy and his eyes showing deep meaning. He handed Li Ziyan a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and said, "Keep cooperating, and cooperate more."
Li Ziyan's face flushed with joy as she laughed heartily: "Of course!"
At this moment——
The man in blue carrying a quiver suddenly came down from the beam and shouted angrily, "Yan Gou! Die!"
The green feather arrow shot out and pierced through the chests of the two men!
The two Yan men fell to the ground in an instant!
"Ahhh!! Murder!"
Suddenly, screams erupted in the peaceful and prosperous inn, and the timid female guest fled in all directions!
Li Ziyan screamed and covered her pounding heart.
The man in green had a straight back and a clean temperament. The sharp arrows in his hands were like death warrants. He shot one arrow after another as fast as a shadow. When the merchant was about to escape, he was shot through the throat by an arrow!
"Damn it!" The merchant leader who had been sitting in the corner of the inn grabbed a heavy knife weighing dozens of pounds on the table and stood up suddenly.
He was eight feet tall, with a sturdy build, a strong gait, and the strength to move a mountain.
"Yandamulie, I want your life!" The blue-clothed man's handsome eyes were burning with rage.
Li Ziyan was completely frightened and stood there.
Isn’t Yan Damulie the name of a general of the Yan State?
at this time!
All the big boxes were suddenly opened, and thirty or forty Yan killers jumped out!
"Ah! What's in here is not goods!" Li Zi Yan was shocked!
Nanny Ruiqing bravely took a look and said with a pale face, "It's over, Madam. I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap set by the Yan people. There's a thin layer above, and the assassin is hiding in the empty space below!"
soon--
Qin Zhengyu led his troops to surround and kill them.
Mo Jin snapped open his landscape folding fan, his lips curled slightly, a dangerous murderous intent in his eyes as he slowly walked over.
At this moment, Su Luo, who had been hiding on the second floor of the restaurant opposite, hurriedly put down the kaleidoscope and secretly exclaimed "Oh no!"
The man who looked like her fourth brother was also in the restaurant.
Can he defeat dozens of Yan assassins?
"No, I have to go help him." Su Luo drew out the Lingyue Sword in a panic.
Shanhe Inn is almost in chaos.
