Chapter 164 The rich businessman surnamed Guo

Two days later, the horse ran the fastest on the road, finally unable to bear the fatigue and fainted on the ground before reaching the Gangcheng Gate.

Yu Moqing could only walk back to the city with Yongye, which delayed another day. As soon as he entered the city gate, Yu Moqing saw someone coming towards him. The man was dressed in black and carrying a baggage.

"Lian Shuo?" Yu Moqing recognized that the person was Lian Shuo.

When Lian Shuo saw the two, he immediately saluted: "Join the young master, wife."

"Lian Shuo, we are not in the Song Mansion now, so you still call me a wife?" Yu Moqing had no choice but to leave the Song Mansion, Lian Shuo did not change his words.

"Uh, um..." Lian Shuo looked at Yongye with ginger.

"Why do you think the monster is? He didn't ask you to shout like this. You can also call me Yu Moqing." Yu Moqing waved his hand lightly. She knew that she had left in the Song Mansion to hide her identity. Now she had left. Although she was with Yongye, she was not at the level of talking about marriage.

Yu Moqing blinked, Lian Shuo blinked, looked at Yongye, and then looked at Yu Moqing. There was a faint smile of joy at the corner of his mouth, but he was holding it tightly, and it looked really weird.

Yu Moqing's sharp eyes were noticed by Lian Shuo's awkward expression, turned his head to look at Yongye, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it really you who made him call that?"

"This is Qing'er's, I haven't passed it." Yongye looked harmless and looked at Lian Shuo again, and said seriously, "Lian Shuo, did you hear it?"

Lian Shuo immediately took the order and nodded: "Yes, it's Miss Yu."

Yu Moqing snorted coldly, looked at Yongye again, thinking that this monster is really childish, just a title.

"By the way, Lian Shuo, how could you know that we are back in Gancheng?" Yu Moqing was puzzled. She was with Yongye every day, but she didn't see any connection with the outside world. Along the way, Yongye and her also had some interesting stories. The rest of the time was to let her rest more, and he was playing the horse. How could Lian Shuo know that they were going to Gancheng today?

"The young master has long ordered his subordinates to wait here after the girl and the young master left the next day, and then he can wait for the young master and the young master." Lian Shuo explained.

"Monster?" Yu Moqing looked at Yongye, "Do you know we will be back in the next few days?"

"Apart from the journey between Dingshan Village and the time I stayed there, I can come back at almost this time." Yongye chuckled, "What? Do you admire me very much now?"

"What do you admire? I think it was you who had some signal flare in advance and asked Lian Shuo to come and save us. Look at the two horses that were broken..." Yu Moqing disagreed, "Well, what if we come back later, wouldn't Lian Shuo be waiting to die here?"

"Not...not that serious, girl, I was there a few days ago..." Lian Shuo was about to prepare something, but Yongye was interrupted again.

"Lian Shuo, what I asked you to do is done?" Yongye glanced at Lian Shuo coldly and blocked his words back.

"It's done...it's done, but I have to be subordinates... I'll give it to the young master now..." Lian Shuo was frightened by Yongye's cold eyes and stuttered, preparing to take out something into his arms.

Yongye immediately coughed lightly and glared at him again.

Lian Shuo immediately understood and let go of his hand.

Yu Moqing's first reaction was that there was something wrong with these two big men? She didn't go in and looked at Yongye up and down, wanting to see something from him.

As a result, Yongye smiled softly at her: "What are you looking at? But are you fascinated by my beauty?"

"It's self-indulgent..." Yu Moqing rolled her eyes. She knew that Yongye was perfunctory and she was too lazy to ask again. Anyway, if this monster wanted to, she naturally wouldn't be able to hide it from her.

"Just do it... Lian Shuo, how have you checked these days?" Yongye put away his soft smile at Yu Moqing, and asked Lian Shuo seriously.

"Oh, I found out. Dingda's sales meeting will be held in the Chengguan area tomorrow, just in a rice shop near the inn where the young master lived. The rice shop is also a stolen house. The sales meetings are held regularly in the backyard, and various wealthy gentry will come to buy salt." Lian Shuo remembered the serious business and replied, "Actually, there is another sales chain here..." At this point, Lian Shuo looked a little solemn.

"What is it?" Yongye asked.

"These salt buyers will buy private salt from Ding Da at the highest price, and then distribute it to various shops that are interested in selling salt through bidding. The shops that buy private salt will auction official salt to wealthy families, and finally leave private salt to increase the price of salt, thereby consuming the poor families who need salt. The money will eventually be distributed to all the bidders participating in the sales fair." Lian Shuo made these things and frowned.

Yu Moqing could see that Lian Shuo was very dissatisfied with these people, and she also found a question: "Liang Shuo, what about Ding Da? Although these people bought the batch of private salt at the highest price, they did not add Ding Da in the end? If this is used as a sales channel, how can the prince make huge profits from it? This is not in line with their usual style..."

Lian Shuo thought of something again: "Oh, I forgot that each of these bidders participating in the sales fair will pay the membership fee first, and the highest price can be as much as the military pay of the first battalion."

"A battalion?" Yu Moqing pursed his lips, "How many bidders will there be about?"

Lian Shuo pulled the corner of his mouth: "At least... there are as many as forty companies..."

"There are at least five hundred people in a battalion. Haha, the prince really makes money..." Yu Moqing couldn't help but sigh. The prince used this plan to imagine how much money he had. Once the six sons' power collapsed, the prince could quickly collect all the resources he wanted with this amount of money. In this way, power and position are at your fingertips, and he is indeed smart. Similarly, he is cruel enough to make huge profits by sacrificing the people of a city.

Yongye did not have the means to make money for the prince, but just asked lightly: "What are the identities of these bidders? Are they just rich families?"

Lian Shuo replied: "There are many rich people in Qiancheng, and the best among the prince's forces in various places. Some have some knowledge of the prince's affairs, and some are just for the sake of increasing income. As long as they know the time of the sales party, whether they come in person or send people to come, they will gather in the backyard of the rice shop."

"How many leaders do this prince really have? The Emperor of the Holy Martial Arts knows nothing about his money." Yu Moqing smiled contemptuously, and she even wondered, who did Dazhao's current situation come from, and what reason is the Emperor of the Holy Martial Arts so indulging the prince? Do you really not see his private actions?

"Young Master, I've found so much for the time being. After all, I was not in Qiancheng before, so I haven't read some news yet. Please punish me." Lian Shuo said humbly and lowered his head.

"No, these are enough." Yongye narrowed his eyes slightly.

"By the way, if you want to enter the sales fair, do you have to pay the membership fee?" Yu Moqing thought that if you can enter the sales fair, you don't have to catch Ding Da's evidence with great fanfare. "If I ask me to pay the money now, it's better to go in and grab it directly."

"Those bidders are not easy to see. They rushed from a faraway place to Gancheng just for a sales fair. The people they are carrying must be of good martial arts. Even though the rice shop is not necessarily the only ones standing outside the door may not be just a few gangs." Yongye analyzed this way.

"There is no need to worry about this girl. We received news that a group of families in the inn named Guo who claimed to be from Jiangcheng were staying in the inn. The head of the family was Guo Chengfu. He was a wealthy businessman and brought a wife and more than ten guards to participate in the sales. However, it has been controlled by our people. Tomorrow, the girl and the young master can go to the sales fair by pseudonym, so there is no need to pay the money." Lian Shuo replied.

"That's it, then I'll be relieved." Yu Moqing nodded. As long as they sneak into the sales fair, they will not be afraid of other people's guesses. In this way, they can not only explore the reality of the truth, but also get close to Ding Da.

"Okay, let's go to the inn first." Yongye pulled Yu Moqing's hand over and took her forward.

"Hey, monster, I can leave by myself..." Yu Moqing shirked.

"What's so shy about Qing'er? We haven't held hands before?" Yongye chuckled.

Yu Moqing said in a voice: "Why am I shy? Lian Shuo is still behind. How embarrassing do you make him?"

"Why don't you care about Yizhi? When he was there, didn't you urge him not to be a fool?" Yongye raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Can Lian Shuo compare with Yi Zhi? One is Bing and the other is Fire. Yi Zhi's son suddenly became enlightened, but Lian Shuo is a serious person. How can we embarrass serious person?" Yu Moqing knew that Lian Shuo was loyal, but he was not understanding the charm. This time, he must feel uncomfortable when he saw Yongye holding her like this and following her afterwards.

"You girl, she is so stupid and cute..." Yongye smiled and shook his head.

"Who are you stupid?" Yu Moqing glared at Yongye fiercely.

"If you don't believe me, look back and see if this guy Lian Shuo is serious..." Yongye leaned into Yu Moqing's ear and exhaled gently, his voice very bewitching.

A warm breath spread out, Yu Moqing was a little uncomfortable for a moment and looked at Yongye: "You monster, may you be fooling me?"

"Have I ever slandered Qing'er? Besides, how dare I? Qing'er be so smart, wouldn't she see through it at a glance?" Yongye raised his head without a smile and continued to hold Yu Moqing.

Yu Moqing was half-believing and half-doubted, frowned and glanced back, and was slightly stunned. Lian Shuo's guy was staring at the hands he held, while smiling maliciously.

As if he had noticed Yu Moqing's gaze, Lian Shuo immediately stopped his smile and coughed a few times to hide his guilty feelings.

Yu Moqing turned his head and looked at Yongye in surprise: "Liang Shuo..." She looked at people with great accuracy, why is it useless on Lian Shuo now? It was obvious that this was not the case when Lian Shuo taught her to practice before?

She was puzzled: "Even Shuo is so good at pretending, I can even cheat..."

"You know people, but not your heart. Qing'er, you are still too simple." Yongye sighed.

"Where am I simple?" Yu Moqing snorted coldly. She just couldn't figure it out. Lian Shuo's contrast was too big. She glanced at Yongye with a proud look on his face. "Hey, did you, the monster, tell Lian Shuo this way before? Now we join forces to lie to me? I know you must have something to do with you..."

"Is there something wrong with Lian Shuo? Qing'er, I just want to have something wrong with you. Why are you willing to keep me and Lian Shuo together?" Yongye turned his head and looked aggrieved.

"Tsk, who knows if you have any Long Yang likes..." Yu Moqing teased him while smiling.

"Longyang likes it? Do you want Qing'er to feel it tonight? Do I have the same good as Longyang?" Yongye smiled evilly, and his slender fingertips drew circles in Yu Moqing's palm like teasing.

Yu Moqing felt that his palms were itchy, but they were very comfortable. She couldn't help but laugh, and even her veil trembled a few times. Realizing that she was losing her composure, she coughed lightly: "Okay, then I'll let Lian Shuo wait in the room tonight..."

"You girl..." Yongye didn't have anything else, and he took her hand and continued walking forward.

As soon as he arrived at the inn, Er immediately came up and said, "Two guests...oh? Young Master, have we seen each other before?" After all, Yongye's face was so evil that it would be hard to forget even if anyone saw it.

Yongye smiled: "Er, you are kind. I have worked hard for him to prepare a room for Sheng and his wife a few days ago. Sheng and his wife came back from a tour, so they came to this inn again."

"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that the young master and his wife have a great time all the way." The two nodded and smiled at them, "The guest still needs a house today, or..."

Yu Moqing nodded slightly, without saying anything, and felt that he had to have fun all the way. He thought that he recognized them again, so why did they pretend to be the Guo family? She couldn't help but gently pull Yongye's sleeves.

Yongye looked back at her and understood the suspicion in her eyes. He chuckled and turned his head to look at the Er: "By the way, second brother, I have been traveling with my wife so far, and the servants at home have come here and have already booked a room in the inn, so I won't have to worry about it..."

"Oh, that's it... I haven't asked the guest's name yet, so I can take the guest's official up..." Er couldn't help asking.

"I'm a surname, Guo, and my name is Chengfu." Yongye spoke very elegantly, and smiled at the two graceful gentlemen, and he looked really gentlemanly.

"Oh, I remember, Mr. Guo, yes, someone has booked a room for you. I'll take the young master up there." Then, Er packed up the rag in his hand and took them upstairs, "Please, please."

Yongye nodded and followed Yu Moqing.

When he arrived at an ordinary room, Er took out the key and opened the door, lowered his head and bowed, "It's this place, please rest as much as possible. If you have any needs, just give me some instructions..." Er left.

After leaving the second time, Yu Moqing pulled out the hand that Yongye was holding and walked straight into the room. When she saw the narrow room, she complained: "A wealthy businessman actually booked such a room. It's a bit of a brain to be so careful of others..." She knew that Guo Chengfu naturally booked such an ordinary room to hide his identity.

Yongye then came in, and while stuffing the things in his hand into the cuffs, he echoed: "After all, it's a shameful deal, and I believe it's true or false. If you come in person, you must be careful."

Lian Shuo followed in, put down his bag on the table, and saluted again, "Young master, that subordinate will leave."

"Go, call the guards here tomorrow." Yongye ordered lightly.

"Yes, my subordinates obeyed the order." Lian Shuo disappeared like a gust of wind.
