The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 39
After Du Yu and Shi Qian sent Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang to the vicinity of Jeju City, they turned to the north.

The place they plan to go this time is Daming Mansion.

Du Yu had studied the Water Margin and didn't think much of those people in Liangshanbo. On the contrary, he had a high regard for people like Bian Xiang, Qiao Daoqing, and Sun An. At least they didn't do anything evil in the novel.

But this time when he went to Daming Mansion, the expert he wanted to visit was neither a hero from Liangshanbo Juyi, nor a general under Tian Hu's command, but a hermit Xu Guanzhong.

In the novel, Xu Guanzhong is a good friend of Yan Qing, saying that he is proficient in military art, martial arts, and strategy.

And he also knows the geography of the world. He has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers. Lu Junyi and Yan Qing praised him for his live maps.

It is said that during the Zhenghe period, he also participated in the Wu Juren examination of the Song Dynasty court, and even won the title of Wu Zhuangyuan.

Du Yu was a little puzzled. Although the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, how could a talent like Wu Zhuangyuan not even be able to get an official position, but instead ran back to his hometown to live in seclusion.

However, if you think about it, Shaohua Mountain lacks such handsome talents.

He has a bit of martial arts, and he has also read Qi Jiguang Qi Dashuai's military books.It's okay to take pictures of cats and tigers, and it's okay to lead a hundred cavalry to fight against people, but he is not good at commanding large armies to fight.

In fact, even in Shaohua Mountain, most of them rely on Zhu Wu to manage the cottage. His greatest ability is that he possesses the money of the gods of the world, and he can get materials from modern time and space.

No matter from which aspect, Xu Guanzhong is the talent he urgently needs, if what the novel says is true.

In this way, Du Yu took Shi Qian all the way to the Daming Mansion.

Both of them are innocent now, so they went directly to the city without any worries.

Since there is no direct account of Xu Guanzhong's residence in the book, Du Yu can only start with the prodigal son Yan Qing.

But how to get acquainted with Yan Qing still needs a little effort, you can't just go to Lu Junyi's house to look for it, and then throw a few ingots of silver to someone to lead the way.

So he was not in a hurry, but wandered around the city with Shi Qian.

Daming Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Henan Mansion, and Bianliang are known as the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Daming Mansion is located in the north and is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, its business atmosphere is not bad at all. It's Cai Jing who has got together the birthday card.

Because it is not too far from the Liao Kingdom, the business here is mainly salt, tea, horses, porcelain, and of course fur and medicinal materials are also indispensable.

Du Yu wandered around the city and gained a little, especially when he spent a hundred taels of silver to buy precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler that were trafficked from the Liao country.

Among them, what made him most happy was that he actually bought a few pieces of original musk musk, which is a rare good thing for ordinary people like him in modern time and space.

The reason is simple. Forest musk deer, horse musk deer, and original musk deer are all national second-class protected animals, and their numbers are decreasing day by day. Overhunting is prohibited.

The value of the things on the Sitting and Wearing Beast can be imagined, and sometimes it can't even be measured by money. Those who own it use it for collection, and no one will take it out for trade.

Ordinary people see most of them are breeding and breeding, and they are deployed and managed by relevant departments, and private transactions are not open.

Du Yu was in a good mood, whether he could see Xu Guanzhong or not, at least it was not in vain.

The two felt a little tired after walking around for a while, so they went to a restaurant in the city called Wangji Old Store to stay.

After a night's rest, refreshed, Du Yu started to search for the person.

There are two ways to find Yan Qing, one is to visit Lu Junyi's mansion, Yan Qing is Lu Junyi's confidant servant of Jade Qilin, and if he finds his master, he will naturally find him.

Another way is to search the streets and gambling houses of Daming Mansion. After reading the novel, I know that Yanqing lives in Lu Mansion and has no real estate.In the words of modern time and space, he is a street slut with nothing to do, playing and singing every day or playing in the gambling house.

Lu Junyi, in the novels of the Water Margin, has high martial arts skills and is unparalleled in the world with sticks. People in the Jianghu are called "Hebei's Three Wonders".

It stands to reason that such talents are the target of Du Yu's recruitment, but he has received modern education, and his three views are still correct, and he can't use the harmful tactics of Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

It's just that Yu Qilin doesn't say that the richest man in Daming Mansion is almost the same. Such a rich businessman and rich man can't give up his own foundation and run to Shaohua Mountain to start a business with him.

Du Yu originally wanted to meet Lu Junyi for a while, but he felt that it made no difference whether he went or not, and he had no excuse to bother him at home, and he didn't have the ability to turn into a famous doctor to treat Yu Qilin's infertility.

So, he asked Shi Qian to wander around different gambling houses in the Daming Mansion every day to see if he could get in touch with Yan Qing directly.

Hard work pays off, of course, it may also be that Da Song's spare time life is too poor, except for the gambling house and Goulan Washe.

Within two days, Shi Qian found out a few places that Yan Qing frequented.

Yan Qing is Lu Junyi's servant. He is good at using crossbows and arrows, is proficient in sumo wrestling, and is versatile in playing, playing, singing and dancing.

Such a character is naturally easy to get along in the Daming Mansion, and there are not a few friends.Seeing a wretched-looking stranger looking around for news about Yan Xiaoyi, those people immediately ran to Lu's residence to inform him.

Yan Qing was very strange, he had been hanging out in the Daming Mansion all the time, never offended anyone, and didn't understand why strangers came to him.After thinking about it, he secretly took his weapon to check it out.

It was also a coincidence that he had just arrived at the door of Li Ji Gambling House, where he often went, when he saw Du Yu and Shi Qian coming out of it.

The two bumped into each other, and both bowed their hands to express their apologies.

At this moment, Du Yu looked up and found that this person was over six feet tall, about 24 or [-] years old, with three teeth covering his mouth and a thin beard, with a very thin waist and broad shoulders.Wearing a papaya heart turban, wearing a white shirt with a silver silk gauze collar, tied with a spider-spotted red thread on the waist, and a pair of khaki leather oil shoulder boots.A pair of animal gold rings on the back of the head, a Xiangluo handkerchief on the neck, a celebrity fan inserted obliquely around the waist, and four seasons flowers are often placed on the sideburns.

His heart moved, this person seemed to fit the description of Yan Qing's appearance in the novel, could it be that he has met the right owner?

"May I ask what your surname is?" Du Yu asked abruptly.

Yan Qing looked him up and down, then looked at Shi Qian behind him, and knew in his heart that they were most likely looking for him, so he said, "My name is Yan Qing, and others call me Yan Xiaoyi. Is that your Excellency?"

Du Yu was overjoyed and said, "So you are Brother Yan, so I can find you easily. My name is Shi Jin, and this is my brother Shi Qian. I wonder if Brother Yan will honor you. How about we talk about it in the restaurant?"

Yan Qing felt that they were not malicious, and they were very polite to him. Thinking about what he was afraid of in the Daming Mansion anyway, he said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey, Brother Shi please."

With Yan Qing as a local, there was no need for Du Yu and the others to choose a place. The group quickly came to Luji Restaurant, arranged a private room and ordered another banquet.

Du Yu didn't know that Yan Qing was also playing tricks. The place where he brought them was Lu Junyi's property, and all the waiters and helpers in the restaurant didn't recognize him. of.

Several people sat down and waited for the food and wine to be served, and went through the process of Jianghu routines.

Du Yu and the others had a harmonious atmosphere, and after they got closer, they said: "Brother Yan, to be honest, I was looking for you in the gambling shop on purpose. One is to make friends with the brothers, and the other is Find Mr. Xu through your brother."

"Brother Shi Jia, why are you looking for Mr. Xu? He has always lived in seclusion and doesn't like to see outsiders." Yan Qing said.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you can rest assured that I have no malicious intentions. It's just that I came here because I heard about Mr.'s deeds, and I want to ask for some knowledge." Du Yu said.

Seeing his sincerity, Yan Qing said, "I do know where Mr. Xu lives, but I'm not sure if he is willing enough to see brother."

"As long as Brother Xiaoyi can take me there, it's fine if Mr. Xu doesn't see me." Du Yu said.

Yan Qing thought it was all right, so she said: "Brother Shijia, if you want to leave, you have to say hello to my master, so how about I come here to look for you tomorrow?"

"Okay, it's a deal." After Du Yu finished speaking, he gave Shi Qian a wink.

Shi Qian immediately took out a rectangular box from his carry-on package and placed it on the table.

"Brother Xiaoyi, when we met for the first time, I felt that we hit it off, so please accept it if you are a little bit careful." Du Yu said.

Yan Qing was not too polite, people in the Jianghu, you respect me a foot, I respect you a battle, it is also appropriate for him to promise to lead the way and give some benefits to the other party.

After receiving the box, he didn't even look at what was inside, and drank a few more drinks with the two of them before making an appointment to go back to prepare.
