Chapter 133 Recruitment
The caravan headed north, and as summer was almost over, they got closer and closer to the capital.
The caravan's itinerary was slowed down, and the leader of the guards specifically explained the caravan's next itinerary arrangements to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.
After hearing this, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng said they could accept the caravan's arrangements. They were not in a hurry to rush to the capital at this time, so it would be better for them to follow the caravan and broaden their horizons.
The caravan was not in such a hurry to travel now. Shi Zelan heard from a guard that the caravan had brought out a batch of goods and now needed to inquire about the market conditions in various towns, and also needed to exchange a batch of goods to take home.
While the caravan was busy with the goods, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went to a teahouse in the town to have tea. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan accompanied them for a day, but on the second day both of them expressed that they did not want to go with them.
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng did not force them, but only asked them not to go separately.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan breathed a sigh of relief. They were listening to people singing a ditty in a teahouse in the previous town. Although they couldn't understand what they were singing, the crackling tune sounded quite lively.
Of course, Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng expressed their displeasure, thinking that the owner of the teahouse had hired people who were too disorderly. It might be okay for the time being, but over time, the teahouse probably wouldn't have any business.
So I thought of listening to a nice little song in this small town, but the woman invited by the teahouse sang the song in a moaning and sobbing manner.
Shi Zelan curiously asked Shanzheng Zhenren: "Master, do you really like to listen to others singing crying songs?"
Shanzheng Zhenren rolled his eyes at her unhappily and said, "You are just a little inexperienced. When you have more experience, you will understand the deep meaning of this."
"Master, even if I have experienced a lot in the future, I will not like to listen to people singing sad songs.
On such a beautiful day, she would rather make a fuss than cry. She sobs in the teahouse every day. Doesn't it affect her own home life? ”
Master Decheng, who was standing aside, heard what Shi Zelan said and burst into laughter: "Sister Lan, you still care about other people's daily lives?"
"I don't care. I just said that casually."
Shi Xiaoliu pulled Shi Zelan outside and whispered, "Do you want to find out how she is doing now?"
"Don't ask, she must be unhappy.
Both her uncle and her master's uncle liked to hear her sing ditties, so there must be some sincerity in her singing.
How can it be that people who live a good life can't sob and sing sad tunes for most of the day? ”
Shi Xiaoliu didn't believe it: "Sister Lan, some people are willing to cry for a few days, let alone a long time, for money."
Shi Zelan nodded: "Let's go, let's go find the caravan and see how they handle and exchange goods."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan quickly found the caravan members, but they did not approach them. They just listened to their conversations with the locals from afar.
Sure enough, they soon heard about the girl who sang the song. This was because Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went to the teahouse and sat there for most of the day, and even gave tips to the girl who sang the song.
The town was quite big, but it could not hold back the crowds, and Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng could tell at a glance that they were outsiders.
"Our boss has money to reward the people who sing songs in the teahouse. Wouldn't it be too much for you to give us three points of profit?"
The merchant in the caravan said with a distressed look on his face: "Those two gentlemen are from the same industry, they don't do business.
I run a small business and I dare not give you any more profits. Brother, please give me a way out. ”
"Okay, since you're pitiful, I won't bother with you.
They are not businessmen, what are they? ”
"Brother, we suspect they are from the underworld. I don't dare to ask about the underworld."
“Bah, if they were from the martial arts world, they would walk slowly with your caravan. They must be children of aristocratic families who followed the caravan to broaden their horizons.
Wow, that young lady finally got a hero to save her. If her family knew that there were two such benefactors, they would definitely block the door of your inn. ”
The caravan exchanged the goods and saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan at this time. They asked hurriedly, "Others were just listening to the singing and didn't provoke the singer. Why did her family come to block the guests of the inn?"
"Her sisters got married in this way. Are your two uncles going to the teahouse to listen to music again?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, then turned and left.
The people in the caravan saw their backs, and he felt relieved. He smiled and said, "I was in a hurry to go out this morning, so I didn't dare to care about where the two gentlemen went."
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng were sitting in the teahouse listening to some songs. They heard faintly some whispers and they immediately regretted that they should not have given tips yesterday.
"Did you see those two gentlemen?"
"See, they came again today. They must have taken a fancy to Nan Yu. No matter who she goes with, she will survive."
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng looked at each other and were about to speak when they heard Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan's voices almost at the same time, and then naturally understood the meaning of some of the gossip in the teahouse.
Master Decheng stood up very casually and said to Master Shanzheng, "Let's go somewhere else."
Shanzheng Zhenren glared at him angrily, then quickly stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk on the street."
They left the teahouse and saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan standing not far away. They both shook their heads and waved, "Come here."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ran over with a smile: "Master, we heard that there is a very elegant place in this town, shall we go and take a look?"
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng signaled them to lead the way, so they walked in front and sent a message to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "Master, don't look back, there are people following you."
"Let them follow."
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng just don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean they are afraid of trouble coming.
They went to that elegant courtyard, and the four of them kept a calm expression from beginning to end.
When they were leaving the courtyard, the gatekeeper accepted the reward from Master Decheng and said that his master had another courtyard in the capital, which was even more beautiful.
Master Decheng smiled and said, "If you have the chance, you must go in and broaden your horizons."
As they walked back to the inn, they received many more looks of concern. The leader of the guards was sitting downstairs in the inn, and when he saw them coming back, he couldn't help laughing. ,
"My two lords, I was just about to tell you that we are almost done with our work here. Do you have anything else to do?"
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng looked outside the inn in the direction of his finger and saw two boys peeking into the inn. When they saw them looking over, they quickly retracted their heads.
The leader of the guards whispered, "We will leave the city early tomorrow morning."
