That night Li An came to play chess with Gu Jingyun, Wei Yingjie and the other three accompanied him, Li Baolu left from the window in a blink of an eye, and quickly disappeared into the lively night market...

Li An held the white chess and stared at the window for a while before falling down, and asked, What is Miss Li doing?

Gu Jingyun said without raising his eyes: Go find a way to send us to Beijing.

Although Li An was curious, he didn't ask again.

At this time, Li Baolu was coming out of a tailor's shop in a different outfit, with a big bag on her back. She got into the car dealership, squatted on the ground and watched for half the night, and then followed a group of people to an alley in the south of the city.

Although it was late at night, the alley was very lively. The coolies who got off work went home to take a bath, and those who were in better condition had supper. The clanging of pots and pans was also mixed with the cries of children and the quarrels of adults. .

This is a slum in Guangxin Prefecture. The residents living here are a mixed bag of all kinds, including coolies, farmers, thieves, and human traffickers. Here, as long as you have money, you can do anything.

Li Baolu was dressed in men's clothing. She was small and dark, so no one would be able to tell that she was a woman after wearing it.

Li Baolu wandered around the alley for a few times, listened to a lot of walls, and then wandered into a house.

Eight adult men lived in this yard. They came to the city to work in slack. They rented this yard temporarily. There were only two rooms, and four of them slept in one room.

At this moment, the eight people were sleeping and snoring loudly, Li Baolu wandered around in the yard and took all the tattered clothes that the eight people had left to dry in the yard.

They all have one set of clothes, and they rub the clothes every day when they take a shower, and they are almost dry when they get up the next day.

Without hesitation, Li Baolu took out the eight new sets of clothes in the bag, and changed into tattered clothes full of patches.

She took two pairs of poles and two baskets from the yard, piled all the things on a cart in the yard, left a piece of silver, and sneaked away.

Li Baolu pushed the cart out of the alley and found a place to lie. Before dawn, she wandered into the morning market as soon as there were voices.

There is no booth fee to be paid in the morning market, and there will be no government servants to collect their tax money. Therefore, in addition to selling various foods such as vegetables and fruits, there are also people selling other things in the morning market.

They came to try their luck, and there were also buyers in the morning market to try their luck.

Li Baolu saw two men park a scooter sneakily at the entrance of the alley, and kept poking their heads out, so she pushed the scooter and asked in a low voice, What is it?

The other party looked at her warily, What do you want to buy, little brother?

Li Baolu glanced at his booth and said, I want raw silk and satin.

The eyes of the two men lit up, and after looking at her for a while, they stretched out five fingers and said, We want this price.

Li Baolu compared the prices she inquired from the store today, nodded and said, No problem, but I want to see the goods.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the cart back into the alley, opened a bag to show her the quality of the raw silk.

Li Baolu didn't know how to read, but she had a serious face, rubbed the raw silk in her hand expressionlessly, nodded after a while and said, Are they all of this quality?

Don't worry, little brother, there is nothing wrong with selling here, the two men whispered: If you are worried, just open them all and have a look.

Li Baolu calculated the time, shook her head and said, I believe you, I want all these four bags.

The two men became excited, they didn't expect things to be shot so quickly.

The two men took out their scales and weighed them again in front of Li Baolu.

Raw silk was five hundred yuan a catty, and they sold it to the shops designated by the court for only three or four hundred yuan, but those shops could sell it for more than six hundred yuan, and they made half of it when they changed hands.

If it can be shipped to the north or the Central Plains, the price will be higher.

Raw silk is not worth much in Jiangnan, because every household grows mulberry and raises silkworms. In recent years, the sea trade business has been good, and the export of silk and satin has only increased, but the price of raw silk has not increased.

The imperial court fixed the price of raw silk, and silkworm farmers could only sell silk to designated shops, so no matter how expensive the silk was, it had nothing to do with them.

Honest people can only suffer this loss, but clever people will sell the silk that should be handed over to the shop and then intercept some privately sold to passing merchants.

Not only can the pre-tax be removed, but the price is also higher.

Those merchants are also happy to collect silk from silkworm farmers, not only at a lower price, but also with better quality.

Those like the two men who can only push carts to the morning market to sell secretly have no connections to merchants and are unwilling to let shops buy them cheaply.

Li Baolu threw the raw silk onto the cart and tied it up.

The two men took turns biting the silver, and after confirming that it was real, they reminded Li Baolu in a low voice, Little brother, get out of the city early, otherwise the inspection will be stricter.

Thank you for reminding me, brother, but I still want to buy some satin ribbons.

The two men looked at each other, then pointed to the depths of the alley and said, If you believe it, let's go a little further in. There are a few companies there that carry a few bolts of silk, but they don't dare to show up, so you go inside and buy from them.

The price of silk and satin was more than three times higher than that of raw silk, so no one dared to sell silk and satin in large quantities, and they all brought one or two for luck.

Li Baolu didn't want too many, she picked six good-colored horses, checked out and left quickly.

She didn't go back to the inn directly, but turned around in the city, bought a lot of fruits and vegetables and piled them on the car and in the back basket, covering up the raw silk and satin.

Then I pushed my things to the bull market and rented a yard.

Throwing her things in the yard, she wandered back to the inn.

Gu Jingyun was reading a book in his hands, looking up at the window from time to time, Li An was sleeping on a chair, Peng Yu was lying on the couch, Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu were sitting on the ground leaning against the bed and snoring, almost like Li Baolu The moment they leaped in, they jumped up and stood in front of Li An in an instant. They didn't relax until they saw that it was Li Baolu.

Gu Jingyun dropped the book in his hand, got up and walked out, saying: Let's go.

Li Baolu whispered to the two of them: You guys have a good rest today, we will leave at night.

Li Baolu was very sleepy after a busy night, and Gu Jingyun also stayed up all night, and he didn't ask how Li Baolu was getting ready, and went to bed after breakfast.

He patted his side and said, Hurry up and sleep, you will be tired at night.

No one knows where the man in black is hiding, or has other sources of information, but they all know that they have not escaped the sight of the man in black.

They don't do anything now, maybe they have scruples, or they may not be ready, no matter what, they must be completely rid of them tonight.

Gu Jingyun's plan was to arrive in the capital within 20 days, give Li An five days to prepare, and then rush to send the imperial doctor to Qiongzhou, and he could arrive in Qiongzhou within a month, so that the aunt would have two months to give birth, and the two Yue's adjustment time is still too tight, but unfortunately they know it too late.

Jiangnan is economically developed, so the night market is very lively and there are more people than during the day.

Li Baolu took all the money with her, then looked at the remaining luggage and sighed, My heart aches.

Gu Jingyun ignored her, Let's go.

She felt even more distressed when she went downstairs to see the red dates that were excitedly gnawing on grain and grass in the backyard, but in order to escape smoothly, she could only reluctantly throw away the red dates.

Li Baolu lost so many things for no reason, and her face was stinky. Not only Li An and the others, but even Gu Jingyun didn't dare to provoke her, and obediently followed her to the night market.

Li Baolu walked all the way to buy food, as if he really came to visit the night market, Peng Yu was almost impatient, his wounds were still not healed, and after being crowded for a long time, he felt that the wounds were open again.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw a crowd of people. A person walked by and blocked his gaze. Just like that, the young master disappeared in a blink of an eye. Not only Li An, but also Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu disappeared.

Peng Yu's complexion changed drastically, and just as he was about to yell, Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu already moved away with livid faces and looked around.

In an instant, various guesses flashed through the minds of the three of them. The first one was that Gu Jingyun's identity was fake, and all of this was a hoax!

Wei Yingjie's eyes were red with anger, and a voice came to his ears from afar, Bull market...

Wei Yingjie recognized that it was Li Baolu's voice. He glanced over, and there were a few people in the crowd who were just as anxious as they were pushing through the crowd to find someone. His eyes flashed, and his expression continued to be flustered, together with Tao Wu and Peng Yu, he pushed through the crowd to find someone , while shouting loudly: Young Master, Young Master!

Peng Yu clenched his fists and said, We shouldn't have trusted them!

It's not the way to find it like this, Tao Wu said calmly, We'll search separately.

Wei Yingjie nodded, Ziqing is seriously injured, I'll be with him, you can find him over there.

As soon as the voice fell, he privately transmitted a voice transmission to him: Go to the bull market and get rid of people.

Tao Wu was stunned for a moment, then he turned around and left quickly with a blank expression on his face, shouting for young master as he walked.

Peng Yu still wanted to condemn Gu Jingyun, but Wei Yingjie grabbed his arm and said, Go, it's important to find the young master.

Wei Yingjie led Peng Yu through the night market, then speeded up and ran around the market, only turning to the bull market when he confirmed that no one was following them.

When Peng Yu found out that Wei Yingjie was going around in circles, he stopped talking, but his expression was still ugly.

As soon as they arrived at the bull market, they saw Tao Wu come out of a shadow and lead them towards a courtyard.

Seeing Li An and Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu standing in the yard, Peng Yu's expression became even uglier, and he threw Wei Yingjie away. He felt that he was wronged. Everyone knew about it, but he was the only one who kept it from him. Doubt his loyalty?

Wei Yingjie was thrown away by him, and his face was not good-looking, but he still explained: I was also shocked before, and I only found out after Miss Li sent a voice transmission.

Li An said with a smile: Not only you guys were taken aback, but I was also taken aback. I didn't know the plan had started until I arrived at the place. Don't be angry. Since we agreed to listen to them at the beginning, then we Just let Young Master Gu and Miss Li make arrangements.

Gu Jingyun glanced at Peng Yu, and didn't intend to appease him. He raised his chin slightly and pointed to the clothes on the cart, Choose a set and change into it. We don't have much time, and we're going out of town tonight.
