After the fairy disappeared

"In the past eight months, more than 200 households have moved into Heishui City, most of whom escaped from the Northwest, and a small number entered from abroad." On the Northwest front, Dong Haoming's rebels and the Yuan Army fought like a raging fire, and the common people did not want to suffer. , had to leave home, "The restrictions you gave are foreign visitors, more than seven or eight people, bought a house locally but did not register for naturalization, and seemed to be doing nothing but not short of money."

The limiting conditions given by He Lingchuan are already very specific.

"result?"

"There is really such a group of people, they fit very well." Situ Han ate a wonton, "These ten or so people really came here almost eight months ago, and I don't know where their accents are from other places. They stayed in Boxi Inn for five years. Six days, the money was quite generous. I visited a few times on duty at that time, and I have an impression; later they bought a big house in Heishui City to live in, and said to the outside world that they came here to do business, and they even set up a carriage. He did it differently, and never tried to attract customers, and the serious businessmen starved to death early.”

"What else do they usually do?"

"I usually stay in the house and rarely communicate with outsiders. The taxes are paid on time every six months, and they are never in arrears. Their boss is surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Lianhai, but he is arrogant. He is used to looking at people with his nostrils. Follow three or four entourages." Situ Han said again, "The brothers of the city gate guards said that they often see them going in and out of the north gate."

"In and out of the north gate?" He Lingchuan pondered, "Going north?"

"Yes, it took a long time to come back." Situ Han said, "The north is Hongya Road."

He Lingchuan smiled: "To the north is the Panlong Desert. Since the strange situation appeared in the Panlong Desert, have they been there more frequently?"

"Yes, they just came back two days ago!" Situ Han winked, "Master, guess what house they bought?"

"Where?" He Lingchuan saw that he was smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Zhuo, could it be?"

"Yes, it's your former residence!"

Seeing He Lingchuan's stare, he quickly changed his words: "Ah bah bah bah, what am I talking about? The old residence is your old residence!"

He Lingchuan let out a long breath, a little depressed.

It turned out that his old nest was occupied by these people.

Back then when the He family moved to Xiazhou, they never thought about coming back, so they entrusted someone to sell their local assets.

However, this also shows that these people have good aesthetics. After all, the layout and scenery of He's mansion were all created by Mrs. Ying. It is a rare boutique house in Heishui City.

He Lingchuan asked about other situations.

Situ John can answer.

He is considered a half-head snake on Hongya Road and Heishui City, eating both red and white.If there is any trouble in the city, ordinary people don't feel it, but he already knows it.

"By the way, there were more than a dozen of them originally, but at some point there were many new faces."

He Lingchuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you added?"

"That's not so clear. My brothers and I have been going out all the time recently." Situ Han had his own business to attend to, and it was impossible to keep an eye on this group of people all the time.Having said that, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Young Master, what you asked me to do has already been done."

"No one found out?"

"How can this be discovered?" Situ Han laughed, "Which time do you think the rumors can be found? Besides, the Panlong Desert has frequent visions. We are not spreading rumors, but there are so many people. Let me say a few more words."

The strange things in the Panlong Desert can spread quickly, and he is a part of the credit.

He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, and gave him another bank note: "Good job! Bring some hard money to my brothers for me."

The wontons were also finished, and the big bowl of wide noodles that was added later was also finished. Situ Han wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going back to work. If you have anything to do, just tell me!" After saying that, he jumped up and rushed to pay the bill, and then left.

As soon as He Lingchuan walked back to the inn, the soul-stirring mirror asked the owner: "Who do you want him to check when you write a letter to this Situ?"

"People from the Heavenly Palace."

"Ah?" The soul-hunting mirror did not expect to hear this word in the small border town of Yuan Kingdom, "Tiangong?! We also have to deal with Tiangong here?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan ran against it, "What are you afraid of? We are on the territory of the Yuan Kingdom. The Tiangong Envoy has no home court advantage now."

Although the word "Heavenly Palace" is hung on it, these people are just outsiders now, and they will never be as domineering as they were in Lingxu City.Could it be that this silly mirror was frightened by them in Xushan?

The mirror is stubborn: "I'm afraid of a P, I just don't understand what they are here for!"

"They have been here for a long time." He Lingchuan entered the room and put a barrier, and took a mirror to look around, "I have aroused the stars of the sky to shine in the ruins of Qianxing City, and in Baisha, and even from the ruins mountain. The pot lid was stolen, which one is not related to the Dafang pot? The gods have long known that the Dafang pot is hidden in the Panlong Desert, of course they will send people to check it out, and they will not take it away for a while."

If you can't take the Dafang pot away, it won't prevent Tiangong from sending people here to guard it.

"So the time limit is within eight months?" The soul-hunting mirror thought for a while, "Hey? How do you know they will definitely buy a house here?"

"You can live in an inn for a few months, can you bear it?" Does he, a local viper, know the grade of an inn in Heishui City?

I can bear it.It's just a mirror, it can only follow the host's actions, it doesn't live where it lives, what can't stand it?
He Lingchuan seemed to be able to hear the muttering in his heart. He patted the mirror and said: "I have dealt with people from Tiangong a lot. They think they are superior to others, and they are never stingy when it comes to food, clothing and housing. Bai Ziqi returned to Lingxu City from Baishazhen , We have all seen the ostentation along the way, Fu Shanyue is worse than him. In Heishui City, how can these heavenly palace envoys endure the small and cramped inn?"

Since they want to monitor the Panlong Desert for a long time, they must find a comfortable place to live.

The funds allocated by Tiangong are sufficient, so how can the messengers who go out lack money?So don't worry about finding a pretense of doing business here, the local snake can see the clue at a glance.

So even if He Lingchuan hadn't been there in person, relying on the knowledge he had dealt with, he could remotely control Situ Han to find out the people from Tiangong.

The mirror only felt weird: "What do you want to do with people from Tiangong?" Wouldn't Tiangong be the most taboo for someone else to do this kind of thing?
"The stage is all set." He Lingchuan said indifferently, "How can this performance be without them?"

……

The next day, He Lingchuan led Qiu Hu and the others to change to ride camels, walk out through the north gate, and set foot on Hongya Road.

Since the purpose of this trip is to "assess the Red Cliff trade route", there is still work to be done.He Lingchuan had to take Hu Qin and the others to take a trip to Hongya Road to observe the situation first, and then return to Heishui City to check the tax payments over the years.
