Chapter 125 Late Night Uninvited Guests
Yang Zhengshan thought about it in his mind, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent and put the gift list aside.
"Your Liang family also has business in Anyuan Prefecture?"
"Yes, and quite a lot. Lord Yang will definitely take care of us in the future!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Yang Zhengshan laughed it off.
Liang Rong had been observing his expression, but Yang Zhengshan hid it very well and he couldn't see anything at all.
"Master Yang, I have a batch of goods that need to be shipped out of the city. I wonder if Master Yang can help?"
He spoke again.
Now Yang Zhengshan felt even more weird.
Any goods leaving town?
Then just take him out of the city, what are you looking for him for?
This shouldn’t be the first day that the Liang family has been doing business in Anyuan Prefecture, right?
Since it’s not the first day, they should have their own connections and there’s no need for them to come to Yang Zhengshan.
"What kind of goods?"
"Oh, it's not something valuable, just some food!" Liang Rong said.
Yang Zhengshan's heart tightened.
food!
Cao Han had also requisitioned a lot of grain before.
Is the Liang family involved with Cao Han?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but tense up.
"What can I do for you? It's just food. The city gate shouldn't prohibit people from leaving the city!"
Anyuanzhou City was not a fortress, and goods were not prohibited from leaving through the four gates in the east, west, south and north.
"It's true that it's not prohibited, but with Lord Yang's words, our business will be easier!" Liang Rong said softly.
Yang Zhengshan showed a look of understanding, "This matter is simple, I will have someone pass a message to the people below!"
He spoke very magnanimously, as if this was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
However, in fact, he could not take any care of the garrison in the city now.
With Xu Wanfu around, he, the garrison commander, is just a figurehead.
But he couldn't say this.
"Thank you very much, sir!" Liang Rong seemed very happy and stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Haha, it's just a small matter, just a small matter!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
The two of them were in harmony with each other, as if they were just relatives helping each other.
After finishing the tea, Liang Rong said goodbye. Yang Zhengshan pretended to want to keep him for dinner, but Liang Rong refused.
After seeing Liang Rong off, Yang Zhengshan's expression instantly became solemn.
Liang Rong came to him at this time, definitely not just for business.
Is this a temptation?
It's also a way to win over!
The speculations in his mind grew more and more, and his heart became heavier and heavier.
Collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country is a crime that will result in the execution of nine generations of the clan.
Although Mr. Liang Sanye separated from the Liang family, if the Liang family was executed, Mr. Liang Sanye would definitely not be able to escape.
Not to mention Mr. Liang San, even the Liang family couldn't escape.
Yang Zhengshan never expected that this matter would involve the Yang family.
Picking up the gift list and taking a look at it, a hint of coldness flashed across Yang Zhengshan's eyes.
……
In the west of Anyuan City, in an inconspicuous courtyard.
Liang Rong stood respectfully behind a man in a green shirt, and whispered about his meeting with Yang Zhengshan today.
"He took the things?"
The man in green was probably in his early forties, with ordinary looks and ordinary clothes. He was the kind of person who could easily be overlooked in a crowd.
"I accepted it and agreed to help!" Liang Rong said.
The man in green thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
"No!" Liang Rong thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "The Yang family is from a farming family. If it weren't for Zhou Lan's appreciation, Yang Zhengshan would be nothing more than a farmer now!"
"Sir, I have checked the Yang family. They don't have much property. They only have more than a hundred acres of good farmland. Those three shops are already a huge fortune for the Yang family!"
"It's not surprising that Yang Zhengshan likes her."
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest social status, but this statement is not absolute.
When wealth reaches a certain level, it is possible to break the rules.
They really look down on wealthy businessmen like the Liang family and ordinary petty officials.
What's more, the Liang family is not a simple merchant family. There are many officials involved behind them.
Even though he had acted very humble in front of Yang Zhengshan before, in fact, in his heart, Yang Zhengshan and the Yang family were not worthy of being in the public eye.
In other words, Yang Zhengshan came to Anyuanzhou City, and his current position was useful to them, otherwise he would not recognize the Yang family as a relative at all.
It’s just the Yang family, not worth mentioning at all.
The man in green nodded, "Then do you think we can win him over?"
"Of course, if he wants money, we can give it to him. Besides, he is related to our Liang family by marriage. With this relationship, it should not be difficult for us to win him over!" Liang Rong said confidently.
The man in green shirt seemed to be a little hesitant. "Sir, Guanwai has urged us many times. If we continue to delay, Guanwai will be very dissatisfied!" Liang Rong advised.
"Dissatisfied! Humph, so what if they are dissatisfied?" said the man in green with disdain.
"But every day of delay means we lose a lot of money. We have been delayed for three months and can't delay any longer!" Liang Rong's eyes flashed with brilliance.
The man in green stroked his horn beard and said, "Then reveal something to him and see how he reacts. If he can really be won over, then open up that channel!"
"Yes, I'll go tomorrow!"
"No, let's wait for two days to see if he makes any move." The man in green was still very cautious. Although he was anxious in his heart, he couldn't be impatient in doing things.
Liang Rong also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he agreed.
……
night.
Yang Zhengshan entered the Lingquan space and looked at the planted medicinal herbs.
The area of the Lingquan space has expanded a lot, and now the land around the stone pond is nearly two meters wide.
If you calculate the area, it is almost two hundred square meters.
And as time goes by, the Lingquan space expands faster and faster.
According to Yang Zhengshan's observation, he found that the expansion of the spiritual spring space was based on the radius.
The ground of the Lingquan space is circular, and the expansion rate is about one centimeter in radius every day.
Yang Zhengshan has been in this world for more than two years, and now the radius of the Lingquan space is about two and a half feet.
It expands in a radius-growth manner, which means that as time goes by, the Lingquan space expands faster and faster.
Looking at the herbs in the space, Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction.
The medicinal herbs that were planted first have grown, but medicinal herbs are divided by age. For example, for ginseng and golden thorn vine, the older the age, the higher the value.
It takes three years for Panax notoginseng to grow, and other medicinal herbs also need several years.
Yang Zhengshan grows precious medicinal herbs. The Lingquan space can meet the requirements of these herbs for the growth environment, but it cannot shorten the growth period of the herbs.
In other words, if Yang Zhengshan wants to grow a hundred-year-old ginseng, it will take a hundred years.
However, the medicinal properties of the herbs in the Lingquan space should be stronger than those in the outside world. Perhaps an eighty-year-old ginseng can be used as a hundred-year-old ginseng.
This is not because of the shortened growth time, but because of the nourishment of the spiritual spring water.
According to Yang Zhengshan's estimation, he should be able to harvest the first batch of medicinal materials by the end of next year.
The quantity of this first batch of medicinal materials will not be large, and they are not the kind of precious medicines that are hard to come by, but they can definitely be sold for a lot of silver.
And as the spiritual spring space expands, his gains will increase.
After planting another batch of medicinal herbs, Yang Zhengshan left the Lingquan space and appeared in his bedroom.
His pear wood bed has now been replaced with a kang, but the bed has not been sold yet and is still in the warehouse.
It’s not that it can’t be sold, but the bunk bed is too big and it will easily attract attention if it is moved out for sale.
At this juncture, Yang Zhengshan thought it would be better to deal with the small items first, so he asked Wu Hai to put the bunk bed in the warehouse first.
Lying in the bed and feeling the warm kang, Yang Zhengshan felt so comfortable that he almost cried out.
This quilt is warm, and it’s great that we don’t need others to warm it for us.
It was late at night and when Yang Zhengshan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The cold moonlight fell through the carved wooden window onto the blue brick floor, making the dim room even colder.
Yang Zhengshan sat up and looked out the window with sharp eyes.
someone!
Just now he heard a little noise, a very subtle noise, probably the sound of someone stepping on tiles.
He definitely would not have heard it wrong. His hearing was now far superior to that of ordinary warriors. Not to mention warriors at the same level, even warriors at the acquired level who were three or four levels higher than him were far inferior to him in vision and hearing.
Soon, Yang Zhengshan heard the subtle sound again. The sound was getting closer and closer, and would soon reach the roof of his bedroom.
Yang Zhengshan stood up, walked gently down from the kang, picked up the gilded flying fish gun standing by the wall, and then hid his body in the dim corner.
He wanted to see who was coming!
The person who could sneak over to his side must be no simple person.
You know, he has arranged a lot of guards.
Holding his breath, Yang Zhengshan waited quietly.
After a few breaths, a figure appeared in front of his bedroom door.
This guy's light body skills were amazing, and there was almost no sound when he jumped from the roof.
Only Yang Zhengshan, who has superhuman hearing, could hear the slightest movement.
The visitor did not enter the house immediately, but stood in front of the door and waited for a long time, probably observing the situation in the room.
After making sure there was no movement in the room, a short blade was poked in from the crack in the door, and then the bolt was gently turned.
Soon, the bolt was opened and the door was slowly pushed open.
The cold moonlight shone down, and a figure floated into the room.
The whole process was almost silent.
It was obvious that this uninvited guest had extensive experience in infiltration.
However, this person did not enter the inner room, but stood beside the Luohan bed in the outer room.
The Arhat bed is where Yang Zhengshan rests before going to bed. He can sit on it and read a book or drink tea.
Yang Zhengshan stayed motionless in the corner, quietly watching him enter the room, quietly watching him take out a book from his arms and place it on the coffee table above the Arhat bed.
