Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

At night, Qin Juan went out alone after having dinner with them.

Taohua and the others played flower cards in the house. After playing for a while, they became hungry again, so they put the remaining lamb leg hot pot on the stove and continued to eat.

The smell of the mutton pot was strong, Gu Yue opened the back window, the back window of their room was not facing the yard, but facing a street market behind the horse row, it was only snowing heavily, few people walked in the street market, let alone at night.

The cold wind came in and shrank a bit.

The more Gu Yue thought about it, the more worried she was about Qin Juan, and she felt that it was inappropriate to go out with her. Forget it, let's leave it at that for today, and wait for Qin Juan to come back and hear what news he heard.

Finally finished eating the pot, unable to bear the smell, Gu Yue took the pot out to wash it, just as Qin Juan came back after opening the door.

Seeing this, Gu Yue handed the pot to Qin Juan: "Just in time, the dish washer is back."

"..." Qin Juan didn't care about the pot, and walked in quickly, "Come in and say."

When Gu Yue heard this, she didn't have the mood to clean the pot, put the pot outside, followed her in, and closed the door behind her.

"What's going on?" Gu Yue sat down with Qin Juan.

Qin Juan poured out a cup of tea and drank it, and said, "The night we came, someone in the caravan who lived here died outside."

"..." Tao Hua looked over as soon as she heard it.

Gu Yue also looked at Tao Hua: "You guessed it right, no wonder it can alarm the officers and soldiers."

"Fortunately, he died outside. If he died in the horse shop, the horse shop would be closed, and anyone suspected would be sent to prison."

It's okay to go to the prison, but I'm afraid that I will be sent to the barracks and never get out again.

"And people came from the barracks in the afternoon, and they brought Anui and the leader of the caravan to ask questions, and they were released when it got dark." Qin Juan continued.

Gu Yue took a deep breath: "If the military camp thoroughly investigates this matter, we will not be spared. This place is a place of right and wrong, why not leave as soon as possible?"

"I want it too."

It's not that the money has been settled, isn't it a blood loss if you leave?

and……

"That man died outside the barracks." Qin Juan said, "The barracks in Tieling are the natives here, and they have already belonged to the Mongols."

Tao Hua: "It's no wonder the military camp sent people over."

Gu Yue suddenly said: "It's enough to find out the people who had a dispute at dawn that morning and check if it's right."

Qin Juan narrowed his eyes: "What if they don't even know that someone had an argument that night?"

That's right, none of them who are not bad at martial arts didn't fully wake up because of the dispute, maybe the others didn't know it at all.

"The snow is stronger and the wind is stronger, so it cannot spread to other rooms, but I can be sure that the person who argued that day is not far from our door."

Qin Juan suddenly felt a little cold, and looked up to see the back window of their room.

He asked suspiciously, "Where does this window face?"

"Street market."

"I know it's a street market, which street market?" Qin Juan frowned.

Gu Yue couldn't answer, so she snorted, "I'll go and see if it's okay."

As he spoke, he walked over, just when he raised his leg and was about to turn over the window, he took a look at the scenery outside, which seemed familiar.

"Is this the northeast corner of the horse market, that dead street where you can't walk north and only connect to the east?"

Qin Juan walked over and took a closer look. They just strolled around the horse market that day. I don't remember clearly, but there are some reflections here that Gu Yue mentioned.

If what Gu Yue said was correct, then he knew why the dispute was heard in the yard not far from their door that day.

The person arguing wanted to climb out of the roof of their house and go out through this street.Because it is a dead end, and in such a windy and snowy day, no one will go there

As for the northeast corner, where is the closest in this direction?

Qin Juan tried his best to think about it, and thought of the largest market in the north, but quickly ruled it out.

It's the barracks on the north side of Tieling!

Qin Juan pulled Gu Yue over and closed the window again.

"It's so late, turn off the lights first, otherwise Anui will come over later." Taohua reminded them.

Qin Juan nodded and walked to the side of the bed, undressing thoughtfully.

Seeing Qin Juan's serious face, Gu Yue guessed what he might have thought of.

Gu Yue and Qin Juan sat at the table, and Tao Hua turned off the lights.

There was only the light of the fire in the room, and everyone's face could be seen.

When the surroundings are dark, everyone seems to be quiet.

Qin Juan said: "If one of the people in the dispute is the dead, then the dead person should be the person the military camp wants to kill, or someone from the military camp."

Gu Yue was even more confused by Qin Juan's words, Tao Hua supported her chin and listened, but Xiao Qu'er was obviously not interested and had already fallen asleep.

"If the dead were killed by the army camp, then the government officials should have captured all the horsemen that night. Obviously, this assumption is not valid."

"Then if the person who died happened to be a member of the military camp, the government can't reveal the identity of this person, they can't admit that this person is a spy, and they can only handle it as a murder case of ordinary people. This matter is over."

Gu Yue lowered her voice: "You mean that one of the people who argued that day was the deceased and the other was the murderer?"

Qin Juan: "It's also possible, if there are spies from the military camp in this caravan, or if these spies themselves are spies from other forces... It is also possible to kill each other because the people with different allegiances."

Although Qin Juan went around, Gu Yue and Tao Hua still understood...

Among the people living in this place, there must be spies who know martial arts, and their influence is not even known.

Is it from the Mongolian people, or from Guo Yi, from Tianzhu, or even from Dali, or from the state of Song?

They were very tacit and didn't say anything.

Just take it as knowing that there is such a thing, just pay attention to avoid it.

The next day, like yesterday, after breakfast, Qin Juan continued to carry the goods to the stables.

As scheduled, he was stopped by Anuyi who suddenly appeared.

"Why did I tell you yesterday, you are not allowed to go out, you are not allowed to go out, did you not hear it or did it on purpose?" Anuyi walked over with arms crossed angrily, "Go back soon."

"You didn't tell me what happened? If I don't sell my things, I will almost have no money to eat!" Qin Juan said.

"..." Anuyi was stunned, he didn't expect this person to go back to the house obediently yesterday, but today he talked back to him.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that the government forbids us to go out."

"I don't believe it! The entire horse shop is not allowed to go out? Then how do you go out to buy things, and who does your big family rely on for support? You must have a way to go out, just don't tell me."

Anui stomped angrily: "You child, why are you so disobedient!"

"I was very obedient yesterday, but today it's your reason that can't convince me."

"You..." Anui, "then you come with me."

Qin Juan followed him.

Anuyi entered the house and said: "If you want to go out to sell goods, don't worry, the person who gave the goods to me will do. You can't go out by yourself."

Qin Juan was frank, and after hearing what he said, he bared his teeth and smiled, "Okay, I have nothing to worry about you, but I'm sure I won't pay too much for the commission, after all, I almost have no money to eat."

When Anuyi saw that he agreed so readily, he quickly dispelled his doubts, indicating that this person was not busy contacting the outside world, but really had no money to eat...

"It's easy to talk about the commission. Give it to me after your goods are sold. You first tell me what you are selling."

Qin Juan untied the burden on his body: "Some wooden Buddha statues."

"how many."

"About two hundred pieces." Qin Juan didn't say that there were still some in the warehouse of the stables, where the tenants piled up their belongings.

"Okay, I'll let my people sell it for you, and you go and move your goods here." Anui knew that the business of Buddha statues in Tieling has been booming in recent years, so he knew this when the young man said it was a Buddha statue. This business is sure to make a profit.

Qin Juan brought the goods here.

Anuyi: "Wooden Buddha statues are also fragile. I'll find two people to sell them to you. I'll let you know the situation in a few days. That's fine. You can go back to your house and stay."

Qin Juan didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Anuyi rubbed his chin, thinking that this kid is pretty good, and he is not afraid that he will ruin the batch of goods. No matter what deposit he asks for, it is generally difficult for people who have been in business for a long time to have the bearing of this kid.

Anui stood for a while and called for someone to send the goods out of the horse shop.

In the afternoon, after dinner, Qin Juan went to the stable again.

At this time, he didn't meet Anuyi. In fact, it is not difficult for him to meet Anuyi, or to go out, as long as he wants to.

As soon as he arrived at the stable, Qin Juan yelled, "What are you doing sneaking around there!"

The man looked at Qin Juan, turned around and wanted to leave without answering.

Qin Juan narrowed his eyes, just now he saw this man wanting to get close to Seventh Brother!

Fortunately, Seventh Brother doesn't get close to others, so he shook off the man's hand.

But this man has some skills, most people can't get close to Seventh Brother's body, but this man was able to get close to Seventh Brother's stable.

Qin Juan looked at the man again. He was a young man with a thin face and long brows and thin eyes. His figure was also thin, and he looked thin.

"Where did you come from, why did you touch my stable?" Qin Juan didn't intend to let this man go.

Things happen for a reason, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect, I'm afraid it will happen again and again, he has already guessed that this person wants to hit Brother Qi.

"Your stable?" The young man raised his eyebrows and repeated, looking at Qin Juan for a moment, then at the six horses in the stable.

"My stable, my horse." Qin Juan took a step forward and took a good look at the expression on the man's face.

"Okay, I see. I just think this horse looks special. I want to see it. I'm sorry. Let me go." The young man cupped his fists and walked out of the stable while speaking.

Qin Juan bared his teeth and looked at the man's back, don't let him catch him again.

He hurried into the stable to check on Seventh Brother.

After feeding the horses again, and standing there for a while, Qin Juan felt uneasy. The man just now obviously had a good internal strength, although he was not as good as himself.

That person doesn't look like a serious businessman either.

Qin Juan's face was gloomy, and when he looked down, the grain and grass in the manger were almost gone, and even Seventh Brother started to eat hay...
