Chapter 73 Borrowing in the Hou Mansion

Wang Sheng saw that Zhou Yan wanted to stay, so he quickly came to Zhou Yan and whispered: "Official, you must also be able to tell that something is wrong. My name is Wang Sheng. I have six scars on my body. They all call me

Scar six."

"I have an escort team under me. I accidentally caused trouble and offended a noble man a few days ago. Now I am being hunted everywhere. I, Scar Liu, will die without incident. But the brothers under me are all my brothers who have been with me through life and death. I can't bear the responsibility.

Got them!"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows: "Since you have caused trouble and are being hunted, why are you still coming out to pick up the work?"

"Boss Yang had an emergency and couldn't find the escort team for a while. We have known each other for many years. I informed him of the risks in advance and he agreed."

"You are very righteous." Zhou Yan looked at the caravan escorted by Wang Sheng. Yang Qiusheng, who was carrying a sword, made the same appearance as the escort. It seemed that this batch of goods was of great significance.

Zhou Yan glanced at the carriages following him with deep meaning, then looked at Wang Sheng and said, "Since you asked me to help you, do you know who I am? Why should I help you?"

"Heroes don't care about their origins. I, Scaru, simply admire your skills. Even if the officials don't want to get involved in my muddy water, you still want to make a friend." Wang Wudao, "I, Scaru, have nothing else. I have been traveling all over the country all these years.

We have accumulated a lot of connections, all of which are life-long friendships. Now most of them have families and have concerns, but some information is better informed than others."

In other words, Wang Sheng has formed an intelligence network of his own.

Zhou Yan looked at Wang Sheng with a scrutinizing gaze. Since he was well-informed, he must have traveled with him on purpose. Drawing his sword to help just now was a stepping stone.

Yang Qiusheng also came over, cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, we will not make excuses with you. Since we are sincerely communicating with you, we will tell the truth. We are doing some underground business. As long as we have money, we will not do anything weird.

I can bring you all.”

"But although we can't see the light, we still cherish our lives. A few days ago, a nobleman from the capital ordered us to find three loads of gunpowder. This matter is of great importance. We dare not take it rashly, but we don't want to be suspected by the nobleman and intend to silence our brothers.

I have been killed by them, and now that the situation has come to this, I can only take risks."

After saying that, Yang Qiusheng and Wang Sheng both knelt down. Seeing this, the escorts behind them also followed suit.

The two men had a clear purpose, and they could easily guess the identity of the person who asked for gunpowder from them.

When I came to discuss with Zhou Yan this time, I probably felt that Zhou Yan was someone who could compete with him.

Zhou Yan only said: "I must not be able to handle such a big risk."

"If His Highness the Crown Prince can accept us, not to mention the fate of Scar Liu and Qiu Sheng, even the intelligence network and channels in our hands can be used by His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Sheng took out a dagger and cut his own

He cut off a section of his hair and said, "If you have two minds, your hair will be cut off like this, your body and head will be in different places, and you will never be able to rest in peace."

The same is true for Yang Qiusheng.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I still have to think about this matter."

"How should we get news about you when we enter the capital in the future?" Yang Qiusheng asked.

Zhou Yan had already boarded the carriage. When he heard Yang Qiusheng's words, he looked back and said, "Two days later I arrived at the Salesian nunnery outside the city. If the door plaque is cracked by then, we are destined to be unable to work together."

Yang Qiusheng and Wang Sheng agreed, and several people watched Zhou Yan leave.

After walking for a while, I finally came back to my senses.

Isn't His Royal Highness hinting to them to replace the door plaque of Salesian Nunnery?

He and Wang Sheng looked at each other. Wang Sheng didn't understand it at first. It wasn't until Yang Qiusheng slapped him on the shoulder that Wang Sheng paused and then realized what he was saying.

The tension that had lasted for half a month finally relaxed today. Wang Sheng and Yang Qiusheng did not dare to stay and hurried to the capital.

By the time Zhou Yan arrived, the Salesian Monastery had already been renovated, and the door plaque had been replaced with a new one, but it had not yet been inscribed or hung under the eaves.

"Your Highness, here we come." Yang Qiusheng and Wang Sheng came from outside the door, bringing with them a cart full of cloth.

Seeing Zhou Yan coming, he was still smiling. He patted the brothers around him and told him, "Be calm, don't scare the children."

"It's safe to do things." Zhou Yan was not surprised. He bought a new folding fan and looked at Shuofeng, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"yes."

Speaking of Shuofeng, Zhang Ping's motorcade still hasn't returned.

There was some speculation in Zhou Yan's heart. He looked at Wang Sheng and said, "When I came, my guards and my troops were divided into two groups. Now that I have arrived, there is no news about him for a long time."

Wang Sheng nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely bring news about him within three days."

Since Yang Qiusheng and Wang Sheng had talked about this, Zhou Yan didn't say anything more. He got on the carriage and just waited for his news quietly.

Just after they passed the Salesian Monastery, Xiao Yi emerged from Lin Xing's mind and reminded: "The mission has been successfully completed - bring Zhao Jie to the capital, receive a reward of 200 points, advance his medical skills, and optionally light up additional points.

Skill."

Traditional Chinese medicine originally has thirteen subjects, but the world where Lin Xing lives in is medically backward, and only three subjects are enough to cover everything.

Internal medicine, surgery, general medicine.

Although Lin Xing's previous studies were biased toward poison medicine, she also dabbled in both internal and external medicine, but Qian Jin Ke was a direction she had never touched before.

Lin Xing lit up Qianjinke, and in just a moment, her ears and eyes became clear. Just looking at her face, she could tell that Xiao Hongxiu had already suffered from inflammation due to the excessive worries these days, coupled with the absurdity of Chunfeng Tower.

If you don't seek medical treatment on time, you may have a sallow complexion in the future and the flowering period will be short like Feng Chunxiu's.

"After entering the capital, have you ever thought about where to live?" Zhou Yan suddenly asked Lin Xingdao.

The Zhao family was so wealthy that Lin Xinglu had already thought about buying a property in Beijing. She responded casually: "Just deal with it as you like."

"There are many people in the capital but little land, and every inch of land is precious. Houses are priceless, so why not let me make arrangements to ensure your satisfaction." Zhou Yan covered his face with a folding fan and said, "I won't charge you more, ten ten per month."

Just five taels of silver."

Fifteen taels of silver was similar to the price of the inn, so I thought they wouldn't be treated badly if they came to Zhou Yan. Lin Xing thought about it for a moment and agreed.

I just didn't expect that the place Zhou Yan mentioned was actually the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion is located on Wutong Street, Xuanwu Street is the center of the capital, and the three surrounding streets are all bustling markets. It is not far or close to the Hou Mansion, which makes it convenient for Lin Xing to do business without being too noisy.

Zhou Yan personally sent Lin Xing and others here, so the Hou Mansion would naturally not neglect them.

The old lady took Lin Xing's hand familiarly, pulled her to sit down and chatted about home affairs. The female family members of the Hou family surrounded Ruan Hongxiu, while the man and Zhao Jie were making gestures together.

"It's true that the old man is no better than the new man. The prince brought a girl, and you didn't even bother to shout at me."
