Chapter Thirty-Four
In the afternoon, Tokyo City was temporarily clamoring for half a day and gradually returned to tranquility and tranquility.
At this time, a sneaky man sneaked into an inconspicuous alley and knocked on the innermost house with a yard. When entering the door, he didn't forget to look around, looking very carefully. After confirming that no one followed, he felt relieved to enter the door.
As soon as he entered the yard, the man met with the person who opened the door, and saw the man who had not spoken all day long and looked very terrifying, playing fists and kicking in the yard. The man who had just entered the door stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "Master Jiao!" After the martial arts master nodded, the man stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, and only a voice inside said, "Come in!"
The man hurriedly pushed open the door, walked in, and reported to the people inside: "Officials, as the previous few days, the people from the Palace Commander's Mansion refused to relax. We have been investigating for 50 or 7 days. These people always stayed in front of Teacher Zhang's house and stayed behind for a moment. If you always do this, how can you live a life?"
The scholar sitting in the house looking through the scrolls looked up at the visitor and said calmly: "No hurry, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. I will definitely relax that night. Even if these people don't go home for the New Year, I have my own way, so don't worry!"
"No, no hurry! The official is still a clever official!" the man said with a smile.
The scholar put the scroll in his hand and looked at the man and said, "Zhang San, have you really thought it through? Will you go with us that night?"
It turned out that the person who came in was Zhang San, a rat crossing the street. On that day, more than ten of them were unwilling to get money and they all had to listen to Wang Lun's words. Wang Lun informed these loyal thugs of the capital to win back Lin Chong's family.
When everyone heard this, they expressed their willingness to help them on the spot, Wang Lun rewarded the twenty taels of gold with everyone, just as compensation for Lu Zhishen's suffering. Everyone happily accepted it. The twenty taels of gold are worth 200 guan, and the average person has more than ten guan!
Wang Lun asked them to rent a private house for living in Beijing for the past few days. How could these local snakes be so rare? In less than a short while, they paid the money and rented this very secluded and spacious house. Moreover, Zhang San told the owner that scholars from other places wanted to rent a house and took the exam, and paid the money himself. He paid the house with ease for half a year. The landlord was suspicious and never came again after handing over the key.
Seeing that these people were doing things in a good manner and did not lose their loyalty, Wang Lun became interested in attracting them. After all, he only had a bare-bolt and many things were inconvenient. So after observing these people for a few days, he was still satisfied, so he spoke and asked questions.
Zhang San raised his neck and shouted: "I can't stay in Tokyo anymore. After all, I don't have a small family. I'm just fed and my whole family is not hungry. I'm willing to follow the officials and go to the ends of the world!"
Seeing that he was commendable, Wang Lun smiled and said with the principle of doubting people and not using them, he said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here. I will not hide it from you. I am not the owner of a foreign landlord, and Teacher Lin is not a guest on my landlord. I am the leader of Liangshan River on Jeju Road. Teacher Lin joined me. Do you dare to go now?"
Zhang Sanyi heard this and said anxiously: "I am willing to go! As long as the official does not think that I, Zhang San, have no ability, I, Zhang San, will follow him in the future! I will not avoid water and fire, and will never leave you! If you have a second thought, you will not die well if you dare to tell me!"
Wang Lun waved his hand and said, "So you should be a confidant under my hands!" After that, he got up and took a ingot of fifty taels of silver and handed it to him, "You have collected the money for the past few days!"
Zhang San was still shirking when he saw this. Wang Lun just refused. Zhang San had no choice but to accept it. Looking at Wang Lun's happy smile, he suddenly heard Wang Lun say again: "This news cannot be leaked. You should ask Li Si's thoughts first. If he is willing to go up the mountain, you can tell me one or two. When the other people are finished, they will ask their meaning. If you have the intention, go up the mountain with me!"
Zhang San nodded repeatedly and said, "I followed the instructions of the officials, but my brothers are all loyal. Some of the weak-minded people have been beaten away by Gao Qiu. I think everyone is willing to follow the officials!"
Wang Lun nodded and said, "When you have nothing to do, learn more from the leader of the fun, so as not to regret it until you use it!"
Zhang San said happily: "That day, I saw that Mr. Jiao's methods were not like those of ordinary martial arts. I felt very itchy. I wanted to ask for advice at that time, but I was afraid Mr. Jiao would not teach me!"
Wang Lun joked and said, "You have the eyesight! That is the secret book of the Jiao Ting's family that passes on to the son but not the disciples. Where can ordinary people get in touch with it? When I go up the mountain in the future, I will ask him to watch and teach you a few tricks, so as not to make a fool of you and lose the majesty of Liangshan!"
Zhang Sanyi was overjoyed and thanked him very much.
After talking for a while, Wang Lun asked, "Where is a large market selling medicinal materials and iron tools in Bianliang City?" This time he came to Tokyo and carried a lot of gold and silver on the animals, with the purpose of purchasing these urgently needed materials for counterfeits.
This asked Zhang San how proud he was. He had been hanging on the streets all year round. How could he not know these things? He only heard him say: "It just so happened that there was a market not far from here, where many old shops gathered in it. The Jishitang Main Store, the first oldest brand in our Beijing pharmacy, was opened inside. Officials have nothing to do to go and have a look!"
I lived in this rented yard for more than six or seven days. I was either reading or reading. Wang Lun had long been exhausted. Thinking that it was better to choose a day, he went out and called Jiao Ting, asking Zhang San to lead the way in front and go out together. Along the way, he saw many famous foods in the capital. Wang Lun was intrigued and took Jiao Ting to eat all the way.
Since Zhang San led the way, there would naturally be no missing. I saw the Li family's quail croaker, the Zhou family's mutton fat and leek cake, the Wang family's glutinous rice cake, and the Qian family's red ginger and fermented fermented stews. Wang Lun kept sitting down and tasting it. The man was so frustrated that he was full of oil, but he still said it was delicious and he wanted to eat it!
Wang Lun regretted that he had been in the world for so many years. He had basically never enjoyed any blessings with him, so he just kept ordering at a price. Zhang San also benefited from it. Although he was a native of the capital, he was not very generous and probably had a sunlight style, so he could not come to eat it every day. Seeing that Wang Lun didn't want money, the two of them were not polite, and they just feasted, swallowed it voraciously, and then they stopped.
The three of them walked along the way, and finally came to a specially opened market. Zhang San led the way in front, and Wang Lun led Jiao Ting to this century-old pharmacy shop called Jishitang. There were indeed many customers inside. The pharmacy's shop kept coming in and out, collecting orders and getting medicine, and they were busy.
Seeing this, Wang Lun was not in a hurry. Seeing that there were seats in the store for guests to rest, he went forward to sit. Jiao Ting and Zhang San had a stool and didn't sit, both standing behind Wang Lun and waiting.
The pharmacy shopkeeper took a break from his busy schedule to see the three of them acting in a different way. He also saw that Wang Lun was very arrogant and the two followers were also quite good and did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly came out to greet him in person, and asked the waiter to serve tea.
After saying some gossip about long-term hope, Wang Lun said, "Old shopkeeper, how many medicines do you have in this pharmacy?"
The shopkeeper was surprised when he heard this, and then replied: "To be honest, my pharmacy has opened a store in Tokyo since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Now there are branches everywhere. The small shops dare not say that the medicine is the most complete, but the medicine I don't have here, even if I travel to three hundred military states, I can't buy it!"
Wang Lun smiled when he saw this and said, "Can you borrow a list of drugs to view it?"
When the shopkeeper saw that he was quite embarrassed, he looked embarrassed and said that the directory was not in the store. He was really embarrassed.
Seeing that he had some misunderstandings, Wang Lun smiled and said, "I wonder if your store has a branch in Jeju?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said, "Some, some, are not far from the east gate! I wonder what the guest official has to give?"
Wang Lun nodded and said, "I remember that there are more than 400 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine. Just like this, you can divide the medicines in your store into two portions. I want one hundred kilograms of common medicines per taste, and three hundred kilograms of rare medicines per taste. I will ship to Jeju address! I will pay the travel fee together at that time. As long as the medicines are real, I will inevitably have to deal with you, the shopkeeper!"
After saying that, Wang Lun took out a piece of paper with the address of Zhu Fu's hotel and handed it over. The old man took it and looked at it, and hurriedly said, "It's all in Jeju City. Since it's not far away, I dare not ask the customer for the travel fee. I only transported the drugs lacking in the Jeju branch and then shipped the goods from the branch. What should I do?"
Wang Lun nodded, signaled Jiao Ting to take out two hundred taels of gold, put it on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "This is just a deposit, and you will pay for the rest when you arrive at the place! The main store branch will not talk about it, but it is just necessary to ensure the quality of the medicinal materials!" Wang Lun never asked the price. Since this century-old store has a branch in Jeju City, he is not afraid of him being cheated. If there is any problem in the future, he will be able to run away, and the monks can't run away from the temple.
The shopkeeper was repeatedly as a guarantee and asked Wang Lun to sit for a while, and then hurriedly ordered. Soon after, he returned to serve Wang Lun. Suddenly, Zhang San said: "Shopkeeper, a business of such a large scale is at least tens of thousands of yuan. My family doesn't ask about the price of your official and his family, because he considers your reputation, but you can't help but express it!"
The shopkeeper heard that he had a local accent and saw that he was acting in a manner. He guessed that he was a person from the capital. He immediately understood it and bowed to Wang Lun: "Relying on the trust of the customers, the small shop has clear and real price, and the amount of customers wants is so large, so the small shop will only sell at a price of 10% or 20% on the basis of the purchase price. Even if the customer doesn't ask, the small shop will do the same!" After saying that, he bowed to Zhang San and said: "If you have time, please come, the small shop will offer you a small gift!" It seemed that he treated Zhang San as a broker.
Zhang Sanyi hurriedly heard this: "This one is my master. Did you, the old man, treat me as a errand? Look how I look like! I am now an upper class..."
The shopkeeper murmured in his heart, "I have never seen such a person!" He apologized again and asked the three of them to wait. He went into the counter to take out an old ginseng wrapped in red silk and offered him, "This is a treasure ginseng that my family bought from Liao Kingdom in the past. I have never been reluctant to use it. Now I am giving it to the officials. I hope the officials will take more care of their business in the future."
Wang Lun smiled and called Jiao Ting to put the old ginseng in, nodded to Zhang San, talked to the old man again, took the deed paper, and said goodbye. Wang Lun praised Zhang San a few words along the way, making him laugh with joy. While talking and laughing, the three of them came to a large blacksmith shop again, and saw that the land covers a large area. There were only thirty or fifty blacksmiths under the shed outside, naked, sweating profusely. The three of them were watching, and suddenly saw a man walking out of the head and hit Jiao Ting, and Jiao Ting pushed the man away. The man was not careful and fell to the ground. He saw that his eyes were red and tears were covered with. He struggled to face Jiao Ting.
Jiao Ting was surprised to see it and said straight: "Well, that man just fell down, why did he cry!"
Someone in the blacksmith shop heard the noise and hugged the man. Another person who knew something was right up, said, "Don't blame me, this brother is carrying a broken family hatred. This time, he came here to borrow money from me and me. Don't be surprised! If you want to buy iron, please invite me inside!"
Seeing that the man's face was numb and unlike ordinary people, Wang Lun asked, "My man, who is your surname? Why is this?"
Seeing that Wang Lun Qiyu was not unfamiliar, the man was angry and stopped ignoring Jiao Ting. He only said, "The villain's surname is Tang and his name is Long. He was imprisoned for his brother. He wanted to make a lawsuit, so he came to find someone he knew to borrow money!"
