In the inner hall, a man sitting drinking tea stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Do I dare not bring what the prince wants? I'm afraid I don't bring enough."

"How many brings?" Liang Anren asked anxiously.

"Bring five hundred treasure boxes!"

Liang Anren quickly calculated in his mind that it was a little less, but he could barely distribute it.

Although Xixia was a Dangxiang dynasty, the nobles in the dynasty admired the luxury goods of the Song Dynasty, such as Baoyanzhai rouge perfume, which was known as the world's number one rouge, was also very popular in the upper class of Xixia. Last year, a merchant trafficked a hundred Baoyanzhai treasure boxes, and in the upper class of Xixia, he finally sold three hundred taels of silver per box.

When Liang Anren saw the business opportunity, he asked the famous Camel Luck Troublemaker Zhang Jiu to buy a thousand Baoyanzhai treasure boxes for him to Xingqing City. He only sold 200 taels of silver per box, which would be a huge profit of ten times.

Although he only got five hundred treasure boxes, he could sell them for 100,000 taels of silver. If he deducted the capital and freight, he could make at least a net profit of 88,000 taels of silver. How could Liang Anren not be overjoyed?

"Come tea quickly!"

Liang Anren invited Zhang Jiu to attend the seat again. Zhang Jiu smiled and said, "Because I have transported tallow twice for Baoyanzhai, I have a good relationship with Baoyanzhai. His treasure box is very popular. I repeatedly polished it with Li Dongzhu for a long time before he promised to give five hundred treasure boxes first. If we can meet his conditions, he promised to give the prince another thousand treasure boxes next year."

"What conditions?" Liang Anren asked anxiously.

"It's very simple. He wants 30,000 kilograms of tallow and buy it at the market price of Xixia."

Liang Anren lowered his head and pondered. Tartlet is a must-have for the army. He would supply at least 200,000 kilograms to the army. It would be impossible to charge an extra 30,000 kilograms to each ranch. It was just sold at the market price of Xixia, so he would not make money.

Zhang Jiu said again: "If the prince is willing to give the tallow, Li Dongzhu promised to sell the prince another 5,000 pieces of balsamic soap, which is also at the price of Bianjing."

Liang Anren's eyes lit up. This is OK. The people of Xixia are full of oil. Washing their faces and taking a bath is a big trouble. They are always not washed clean. He has used Baoyanzhai's balm soap and washed very dry, which makes him praise it. The market price of Bianjing is one tael of silver and two pieces of balm soap. In Xixia, you can sell ten taels of silver per piece. This is another big sum of money.

Thinking of this, Liang Anren immediately agreed happily, "Okay! I'll get 30,000 pounds of tallow and sell it to him at ten cents per pound."

Zhang Jiu scratched his head and said, "There is another troublesome thing, please help me."

"What trouble?"

"Now the Song and Xia countries are fighting each other, and the border is very dangerous. I want to ask the prince to give me a clear road. Where is it safer to cross the border?"

Liang Anren laughed, "You ask me, you are asking the right person. I am just dispatching food from the troops from all over the Xixia army. Xixia has laid heavy troops in various strategic areas, but there are no troops on the Linzhou line. Almost all the military camps there are empty camps. You can be safe and sound when you go out of that line."

Zhang Jiu was overjoyed and stood up to salute, "Thank you, the prince for giving me some advice."

Liang Anren stood up and said, "I will go back and let the account settle the freight for 2,000 taels of silver this time. If you wait for half a month, I will prepare the tallow and you will go on the way. At least 100 camels will be transported by 30,000 kilograms of tallow."

"Camels are not a problem. As long as the prince prepares tallow, we will set off immediately."

Liang Anren ordered the accountant to settle the bill with Zhang Jiu, but he turned around and left, but when he walked out of the business gate, Liang Anren suddenly felt something was wrong. How could he tell Zhang Jiu the most secret military information that something big would happen.

He was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He walked a few steps at the door with his hands behind his back, and then urgently ordered his subordinates to say, "Immediately put Zhang Jiu under house arrest and do not allow him to contact anyone."

It is not too late to ship tallow after the war is over, and it is not easy to rot in winter, but no matter what, the top-secret military information must not be leaked by Zhang Jiu.

......

Zhang Jiu did not expect Liang Anren to react so quickly. Before he could explain to his subordinates, Liang Anren put himself under house arrest.

His subordinates lived in Lao Nan Kejiao Store outside the city, but he was arrested in the Liang family's business. Although Liang Anren was well treated and asked several beautiful maids to serve him, he had all kinds of delicious wines, but he lost his freedom.

Especially when he received the top secret information from the Western Xia army, he had to tell Tong Taiwei as soon as possible. Since Zhang Jiu was received by Tong Guan by Taiwei Tong Guan two years ago and named him the Marquis of Yu, Zhang Jiu has continuously reported various information from the Liao Kingdom to Tong Guan.

He didn't know much about the information about Xixia. This time he took the opportunity to deliver goods to Xixia, just to inquire about the military information about Xixia. Fortunately, he soon learned about the top secret information of the Xixia army, but unfortunately, he was under house arrest.

For two consecutive days, Zhang Jiu was anxious. He thought of various excuses to leave the yard, but was ruthlessly rejected by the soldiers at the gate.

"Justice Jiu should stay at ease! After the war is over, the prince will double the compensation. It is not safe outside. Isn't it great to live here with us to protect him and beauties to serve you!"

"I just wanted to say hello to my subordinates, and there was no other meaning."

"The prince has already agreed with them and gives them enough living expenses. They are living a leisurely life in Xingqing City, so Master Jiu doesn't have to worry."

Zhang Jiu had no choice but to live a life of depressed life day by day. That afternoon, he sat alone in the small pond in the backyard fishing. Several beauties who were monitoring him were bored and went back to the house to rest. Only one woman sat in the pavilion and napped.

At this moment, with a 'plop!' in front of you, a small stone fell into the pond and splashed a splash of water. Zhang Jiu turned around and saw that one of his subordinates was waving to him on the wall behind him.

Zhang Jiu was very happy and ran over and said, "Go and tell Taiwei Tong that there is no Xixia army in Linzhou."

"We were also under surveillance. I spent a lot of money to bribe the guards, so he allowed me to look at you. He was not far behind me."

"Then you go and find Mr. Qiao and let them convey the information!"

Zhang Jiu has been thinking about how to send the letter out these days. Of course, his subordinates are reliable, but what if their subordinates are also monitored?

He thought of the Qiao brothers, Song Shang, who was in the Western Xia, and Taiwei Tong told him that if the situation was urgent, he could ask the Qiao brothers for help.

"Master Jiu, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I'll be free in winter. Go and pass on the message!"

His subordinate jumped off the wall and disappeared. At this time, the woman in the pavilion was alarmed. She walked over and asked in a coquettish voice: "Master Jiu, who are you talking to?"

"I'm practicing how to apologize to the prince!"

Zhang Jiu was in a good mood. He looked at the charming woman up and down, his eyes became hot, and he grabbed her and smiled: "Let's go to the house and whisper."

The woman glanced at him charmingly, and said with a spring love: "Master Jiu, this is broad daylight, why don't I accompany you at night!"

Zhang Jiu is not an impatient person. This woman may have seen something. If she didn't coax her into obedience, she might not be able to take it. Zhang Jiu had no choice but to hold her hand and drag her into the house.

"Justice Jiu is so bad! My hands are hurting."

"Hehe! Let Master Jiu feel sorry for you."

The Qiao Family Trading Company is located in the northwest of Xingqing City. Its owner, the Qiao Brothers, was a great merchant of the Song Dynasty who was famous for fur business. He had a backer in the upper class of Xixia. In addition, the King of Xixia Li Ganshun encouraged trade with the Song Dynasty, and the Qiao Brothers became famous in Xixia.

That evening, Qiao Zhongan, the second brother of the Qiao brothers, was having dinner in the business. A subordinate walked quickly and whispered: "Second Master, someone came outside, saying that it was Zhang Jiu's brother, and if there is an urgent matter, I will look for the master."

There was no Song Shang in Xixia who didn't know Zhang Jiu, and Qiao Zhongan was no exception. He had also asked Zhang Jiu to transport goods for him several times.

He nodded, "Take him to see me!"

Not long after, a subordinate of Zhang Jiu was brought up in a hurry. He bowed and bowed, "In the next Hu, I led Mr. Qiao Er to pass the pass last year. Does the second master still remember?"

Qiao Zhongan laughed, "Of course I remember, where is your Ninth Master?"

"Jiu Master was under house arrest by King Liang, and we were also under strict surveillance. I had a meal at Huaji Restaurant across the street and sneaked out on the excuse of going to the toilet. I must go back quickly."

Qiao Zhongan was startled, "What's going on?"

"My master undoubtedly got a top-secret military information. Linzhou had no deployment of the Western Xia army. King Liang was afraid of leaking the news, so he put Jiu Ye under house arrest. Please ask Master Qiao to send the news to the Song army immediately."

Qiao Zhongan narrowed his eyes, "How could you find me?"

"It was the command of Master Jiu, and it should be the hint of Taiwei Tong."

In desperation, Ren Hu didn't care whether he should say or not, and directly pointed out their relationship with Tong Guan.

Qiao Zhongan looked a little unhappy and said for a while: "I understand, you go!"

Ren Hu had no choice but to bow and leave in a hurry.

Qiao Zhongan walked around the room with his hands on his back and turned around and said, "Go and find Xiao Wei!".
