Mr. Luo is over thirty years old and has been in business for nearly twenty years. How can he believe Mr. Shi's words?

After this incident, the merchants of Liuyun Kingdom wanted to do business with the Wei people again. I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

If this batch of goods is lost, it will be a loss, but in the future, if he wants to obtain some rare items from the Liuyun Kingdom from the Wei Dynasty, what kind of way should he look for?

Seeing that his expression was a little dull, Mr. Shi stepped forward and said, "Brother Luo, can you still trust my character? It's just that the situation is tense right now, and the batch of goods in your hand has become a hot potato."

"Master Shi means..." Mr. Luo was a little surprised.

The two have known each other for several years, and he knows exactly what kind of person the other person is.

This time he was prepared to lose all his money, but judging from Mr. Shi's words, could he be willing to give himself some compensation?

Mr. Shi smiled and said: "I am willing to take over this batch of goods from my husband, but the price is just..."

Mr. Luo said: "Business between you and me has always been bartering. How much do you plan to pay, Master?"

Mr. Shi leaned close to his ear and said a few words like this.

There was a hint of surprise on Mr. Luo's face: "Young Master, are you serious about what you said?"

Mr. Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Luo, please relax, the future is bright, haha..."

The two chatted happily, but Xiao Bi and Huan Yu had quietly left the house.

"Brother Huan, what do you think Master Shi wants to do?"

"He just doesn't want to cut off the financial path of Liuyun Kingdom. What I'm more interested in is what exactly he used to trade with the people of Liuyun Kingdom that made the man named Luo so reluctant to part with it."

"It's easy to know this. We don't have time to argue with him, but some people have been longing for something to happen to the Shi family."

"Xiaojiu is talking about Governor Bai?"

Xiao Bi nodded: "Governor Bai has been suppressed by Shi Juncheng for so many years, and he has long been dissatisfied. We only need to spread the news to his ears, and he will never let go of this opportunity."

"Let's go to the government office again."

The figures of the two people quickly disappeared without a trace.

Let’s talk about Shi Juncheng.

After leaving Shi Mansion, he hurried to Xiangyun Tower.

Although he knew that his son was doing business with Liuyun merchants, he didn't know exactly what he was doing or how he was doing the transactions.

If his son hadn't promised to drive the barbecue chef away, Shi Juncheng wouldn't have known where to find him.

However, when he arrived at Xiangyun Tower, the shopkeeper informed him that the barbecue master had left without saying goodbye, and Mr. Shi left in a carriage without even taking a sip of tea.

Shi Juncheng's legs went weak and he almost fell down in the lobby of Xiangyun Tower.

At this time, the most important thing to do is to compete with the government agents for time. While they are still mobilizing manpower and before they start taking action, they should send off those Liuyun merchants first.

But he was sure that Ping'er had indeed gone to find those Liuyun merchants, and his purpose was not just to tell them to leave quickly, but to take advantage of the opportunity to make another fortune.

Ping'er was still too young and didn't know the heights of the sky. He always thought that his family could cover the sky in Hedong County with one hand.

In addition, it has been too easy for him to make money in the past few years, and he has become more and more greedy.

He didn't even think about it, could some money be greedy?

If you lose your life for money, you will also lose your whole family, or even your whole clan...

The shopkeeper helped him: "Master Shi, are you okay?"

Shi Juncheng calmed down and said, "I'm fine."

Now it is too late to send people to find his son. The only hope is the government office.

After being a county magistrate for nearly ten years, he has also cultivated many confidants. It is time for them to take effect at the critical moment.

Shi Juncheng broke free from the shopkeeper's hand and hurriedly ran out of Xiangyun Tower.

He regretted it endlessly as he ran.

I was really full just now. Why didn't I stare at the old man named Bai in the government office and rush back to the government office in a hurry?

After running around in a long circle and wasting so much time, I finally circled back to the government office!

However, Shi Juncheng tried his best, but it was still a step too late.

Sheriff Bai changed his cowardice and procrastination over the years and immediately sent out the police officers after receiving the news.

In particular, the confidants Shi Juncheng had trained for many years were sent to the most remote counties and were no longer able to be contacted.

※※※※

In just ten days, the three counties of Pingyang, Xihe, and Yanmen also became chaotic like Hedong County.

The government agents went from house to house and searched carefully, especially those foreign merchants who came to do business in Wei Dynasty. They were searched over and over again.

No one can tell what exactly they are busy with, but not to mention ordinary people, even officials are beginning to panic.

Within a few days, a large number of businessmen from other countries holding fake road guides like Mr. Luo were discovered.

Various versions of rumors were circulating.

Some people say that the officers are searching for people who have slipped through the net in the theft cases in the capital.

Some people said that the concubine of a certain nobleman in the capital had stolen important items in the house and eloped with others. The nobleman was so angry that he sent people to hunt her down.

There are also some people who are a little better informed and know that the officials are tracking down the details of other countries, but they dare not spread the word widely.

At this time, Liang Ruoru and his party had arrived at a mountain at the junction of Wei and Beirong.

After more than a month of trekking, there were only less than 30 people left out of the original more than 100 people.

Liang Ruoru, who was wearing a silk hat, leaned against a big tree. The young woman kneeling next to him opened her bag and took out the dry food and water bag.

"Sir, it's not convenient to light a fire here, so you'll just have to eat some dry food."

Liang Ruoru had no intention of eating, but just let out a long sigh.

"Pu Lan, how many of us are left?"

Pu Lan said in a hoarse voice: "Back to the young master, including you and the slaves, there are a total of twenty-seven people."

Liang Ruoru chuckled and said: "Those people went to lure the enemy under my orders, and they were not harmed. Why are you so sad?"

Pu Lan loosened his grip and the dry food fell to the ground.

"Sir, my sadness is not for them."

"Huh?" Liang Ruoru stared into her eyes through the black gauze of the silk hat.

Pu Lan, who was sitting on his knees, straightened up quickly and lowered his head in silence.

Liang Ruoru said: "I once said something to you, it's easy to fish in troubled waters, do you still remember?"

Pu Lan said: "I remember, but... in today's situation, the water is indeed muddy, and it is not easy for the young master to fish. If you are not careful, you may..."

Liang Ruoru looked at the slope not far away: "Pu Lan, there is a patch of wild flowers there, go and pick one."

"Yes." Pu Lan didn't understand why he suddenly ordered her to pick flowers, but she quickly got up and walked quickly towards the slope.

Not long after, she came back with a flower.

The flowers are light pink, small and have no smell. They are the kind of ordinary wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Liang Ruoru took the wild flowers and smiled at Pu Lan: "Come here."

Pu Lan knelt down beside him again.

Liang Ruoru stretched out his hand to straighten her messy bun, and inserted the wild flowers neatly into the side of her bun.
