Chapter 13 Tavern news

Walking out of the Grand Governor's Office, Pei Min looked at the sunset at dusk in the sky, thinking of the names of several people: there were big merchants with wealthy places, smuggling black merchants who traveled to and from the northeast, local heroes and gangsters, and parents of prefectures and counties. No wonder Xue Na dared not take it lightly. Xiao                                                                                                                                                                                                               

However, Pei Min has no idea where to start investigating now. He looked back and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't be anxious. Anyway, just like Xue Na's original meaning, waiting is also a way.

After walking two streets, Pei Min suddenly smelled the aroma, which was the smell of soy sauce mixed with hot meat. He came to Jicheng from Huairou County to study, and he fed his belly with dry cakes on the way. He had so many things in Jicheng that he didn't have time to eat. He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. He followed the fragrance and crossed the street, he saw a simple tavern.

Although the tavern is small, it is full of guests and it is very lively. You can hear the sound of the hall and the noise of chatting inside, and the reverberation sound becomes a piece.

Pei Min was very satisfied with the environment of the store and walked into the store without hesitation. The sharp-eyed eyes of the paulownia came to meet him.

After ordering the meal, I ordered two side dishes, and sat in my seat and listened to the gathering of all the churches around me, talking about it.

Most of the people who eat in such small hotels are merchants and gangsters. Merchants are travelers. The biggest feature of this type of person is that they are knowledgeable. They travel around the world and go wherever they have money. In terms of knowledge, ordinary people are far from comparable. Rogues and gangsters are distributed in the streets and alleys and can also master the information of the first hand. They talk a lot, brag and spank, and they should not believe everything, but they may not be fake.

If you want to know the world without going out, a tavern is the best place to go, which is recognized for thousands of years.

Listening with your ears carefully, it turns out that it is full of popular things nowadays: the little widow in Yongjie Alley, the old widow in Zhang Village steals people, and all kinds of strange things, which are said from the mouths of a group of gangsters, which are particularly lewd and despicable.

Pei Min selectively ignored them and looked for topics of interest.

What a businessman on his right hand said aroused his interest. He was talking about the list of people given to him by Xue Na, the black merchant Jiang Bo. The so-called black merchant is also the smuggling merchant.

Wu Zetian is a good player in internal struggle, but his military achievements can only be described as "hehe".

Taizong's Zhenguan Dynasty had almost won all the foreign achievements, but his defeat was because Li Shimin was very determined and felt that even if he had not destroyed Goguryeo, even if he recovered Liaodong, he would not even be considered a victory. Although Gaozong's dynasty had several defeats, he still stood in power and captured the largest territory with the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian was better, killing generals like Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Heichi Changzhi, which directly led to the defeat of the Tang army and the country's majesty being destroyed. The vassal states that originally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty were all out of control and did not pay tribute, and even cut off trade.

At this time, the existence of black merchants became particularly popular.

Black merchants can make huge profits through various channels by buying and selling sought-after goods from other countries.

Jiang Bo is such a person. Because the Xi tribe and the Khitan occupied Yingzhou, the source of the business roads of Northeast 6th Routes was cut off. However, Jiang Bo was able to safely transport various treasures from Changbai Mountain in the northeast from Routes 6th to Youzhou. Without a certain means, how could it be done? It is said that Jiang Bo was in the Xi tribe and there was no one inside the Khitan, and even a three-year-old child would not believe it. Therefore, Jiang Bo was the most suspicious.

A traveling businessman said with some gloating pleasure: "Old Li, listen to me that Jiang Bo's face is really a shame! You were not present at that time, and I saw with my own eyes that his face turned blue and purple."

Sitting at his desk, Old Li said incrediblely, "Is it true or false?

The traveling businessman patted his chest and said, "There is still fake. It's not that I saw it. There are so many eyes on the official road. You can wait. It won't take long before this matter will spread. You will know whether it is true or false."

Lao Li hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't believe you. What's the relationship between us? How could we not believe you? I'm so surprised. I heard that Jiang Bo's guards are all good players such as Yi, and they are all heroes he hired from the world with a lot of money. Everyone has the strength to fight several times, so why are they so unbearable? More than 20 people made the two of them beat me up?"

The traveling businessman curled his lips disdainfully and said, "That's because they haven't met a real good player. If they really meet opponents, I don't know how badly they were beaten. You are not here because you don't have the honor of being there. I think I have traveled all over the world for so many years and have never seen such beautiful kung fu. You don't know that those two little guys danced with wooden swords and danced like beautiful women. I was so beautiful. I was so fascinated by the sight, but I didn't know that when I came to my senses, more than 20 strong men knocked them down on the ground and couldn't get up. More than 20 people beat them, but even the corner of their clothes was not caught. You said, Jiang Bo could scream without being angry!"

Old Li was so anxious that his friend would not be aimless. After a while, he said: "I don't know when these two characters will be added to our Youzhou. They are brave enough. The strong dragon is not even able to defeat the local snake. With Jiang Bo's strength in the north, the two of them probably won't have a good life."

The traveling merchant looked left and right, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It's not that they were going to provoke Jiang Bo, it's that Jiang Bo fell in love with their things. It seemed to be a copybook and wanted to rob. As a result, he encountered a tough problem and taught him a lesson." He wanted to say in a low voice, but he was used to shouting and his voice was loud enough. Even if he lowered his voice, it still fell into Pei Min's ears.

They were not discussing this matter, but talked about other interesting stories from all over the world.

Pei Min was bored when he heard this. The waiter took all the food he ordered and started eating it voraciously.

After eating, Pei Min heard another interesting news: Just at noon today, Yuan Hao defeated a 17 or 18-year-old woman with a wooden sword, and she was defeated miserably. After more than 30 moves, Yuan Hao defended more than 30 moves and had no chance to fight back.

Pei Min certainly recognized Yuan Hao. Yuan Hao was the director of the Jicheng Yijia Martial Arts Center and a famous swordsman in the north. He has some attainments in his swordsmanship. His unique trick "Stay Behind the Sword" was learned from Yuan Hao.
