The tent that followed behind looked at Li Meng's expression as usual, and couldn't help but admire him. Li Erlang was indeed not an ordinary person, and this great wealth was so calm.

Li Meng stopped and continued to walk forward slowly. It seemed that he had not been affected by this news. The salt dicks behind him followed silently. After training and fighting, these salt dicks were good soldiers, but not excellent bodyguards.

However, Li Meng was not worried about meeting any outstanding assassin, because in Jining City, everyone was tacitly informed about the so-called Lao Qingyan incident and no one would say it out loud, because everyone made money by this, and no one was willing to cut off their own way of wealth.

The best place in Jining City is the Canal Wharf. Not to mention the restaurants and shops on both sides of the river, the pleasure boats on the river are the most eye-catching scenery.

Although it is approaching the end of the year, there are still singing and dancing by the river, and there is a scene of wealth and prosperity. Li Meng and the others are also attracted by this scene as they walk. The cold air is vaguely filled with the aroma of powder and fine wine, and the laughter that comes to their ears from time to time.

Li Meng smiled and looked at the scene in the river. The turtle male and madam on the boat on the shore looked at Li Meng's temperament. She thought that some wealthy merchants were on a trip and attracted customers to their own families. Unexpectedly, Li Meng just smiled and looked at the river, but she didn't have the intention to walk down.

The Turtle Madam felt quite bored and wanted to speak out to mock him, but none of the guards behind Li Meng dared to speak out.

People in the world say that the Qinhuai River is ten miles long, but the Jining Cao Transport Terminal faces south is probably less than three miles away. Li Meng wanders slowly and it took almost half an hour to get out of this range. Going south, it is the area where the cargo ships are moored overnight, which seems very quiet at this time.

After walking here, there were no lights or crowds, which seemed very quiet. The coldness of the winter night was getting heavier. The tent behind him couldn't bear it. He was about to speak out and asked Lord Li to go back and rest after not too early.

Suddenly, a faint cry came from the front...

You can also hear the joyful and laughter of the pleasure boats on the river in the distance, intermittently, but it further highlights the tranquility of the place. This is the place where goods are stored, and only the wind lights on the bow of the cargo ship are flashing there. In such a place, a faint crying sound suddenly passed through such a place, which is indeed a bit strange.

The tentman who was following Li Meng shook all over and almost turned his head and ran away. Li Meng was unmoved, but instead looked in that direction. In the darkness, there was nothing but the lights on the bow.

The accountant said in a trembling voice:

"Master... Sir, I'd better go back to the inn as soon as possible when I hear the woman's crying by the water?"

Li Meng was there for a while and said in contemplation:

"It's like an old lady crying. It's so late, who will cry there?"

The accountant was about to persuade him to go back, but he saw Li Meng wave his hand excitedly and whistle and said:

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look."

Li Meng from the modern People's Liberation Army has always been an atheist. Besides, there are so many men with weapons around him who can deal with them even if they are strange. The salt stewards who follow him are all young people. They are naturally not afraid of being brave enough, so the accountants have to follow with a bitter face.

It is easy to find the source of this crying sound in a quiet night. Not far away, I saw a man lying on the bank of the river and crying hoarsely. He probably had been crying for a long time. He heard that the sound should be an old lady. Li Meng ordered Yan Ding to light the lantern with a fire fold, and then carried it in his hand and walked over.

"Why did this aunt cry?"

Li Meng asked quietly, and the old woman obviously didn't expect anyone to come to ask behind her. Li Meng's voice scared her, and her voice stopped abruptly, her whole body trembled violently, and she slowly turned her head.

It doesn't matter if he turns his head. Li Meng was frightened. The lantern in his hand almost fell to the ground, but the light also shines on the other person's face.

He is not an old woman at all, he is clearly a man, but he can't see any beard on his face, which is full of wrinkles. If many old people shave their beards cleanly and usually, in this era, the old man's beards are trimmed and never shave. After adapting to this era, he will inevitably feel strange when he sees abnormality. The robe on his body does not look like a civilian's clothes. The strange man's face is full of tears. He is looking at Li Meng in surprise.

Li Meng suddenly heard a shouting sound behind him. His subordinates of Yan Ding were arguing with others. However, both sides lowered their voices. It must have been nothing big. Looking at the strange face in front of him, Li Meng calmed down and said:

"This...that guy, why are you so sad?"

Seeing Li Meng's gentle and polite questioning, the man's astonished face changed to despair and sadness again, and shook his hand powerlessly and said:

"Own things, your own things."

Looking at the old face of the man in front of him, Li Meng inexplicably remembered his parents in modern times. When he remembered that his father also shaved his beard clean, he felt a little moved.

Then he took a step forward, helped the man kneeling on the ground up, and said with a smile:

"It's cold and windy this day. Kneel on the ground and don't hurt your muscles."

Li Meng's enthusiasm calmed the old man's expression, but he just sighed and said nothing. At this moment, the accountant behind him trotted over and said a few words in Li Meng's ear.

The incident is really unimaginable. The old man who was kneeling was actually a famous eunuch. He said he was leaving the palace to buy green salt. The chaos in Henan and Shaanxi was naturally incredible. He could only go south along the canal and see if the large merchant warehouse had goods. They didn't know that Jining had this trend.

It was only when he was docking in Jining that he knew about this. The old eunuch was surprised. It took so little effort to get it. Who would have thought that the price of green salt would be sold rapidly. Everyone would keep it in their hands to appreciate and would not be willing to sell it. He could buy it.

I just found an inn and went to the street to look for the seller during the day. Unexpectedly, the money I put in the store and the silver I bought were stolen by the thief.
