A month later.

South of the Yangtze River.

Outside Suzhou.

Ye Jun, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei appeared. They led horses, followed behind the people and walked towards the city.

The south of the Yangtze River was hit by floods, but it did not affect its prosperity. Merchants from all over the country still came in an endless stream.

Moving forward.

Guo Jiawei frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lord, it seems that Gusu city has not been affected by the flood at all."

Ye Jun nodded, "yes, if I didn't know I had arrived in Gusu City, I would have thought I was in the wrong place."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "filial piety, our trace should be leaked."

Guo Jia was surprised and said, "Lord, we took a detour to the north, and then came to the south of the Yangtze River. No one in the capital should know our trace."

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "this time we have taken a lot of wrongs. I underestimated my opponent. If I guess correctly, the disappearance of brother Huang and Lord Di in the south of the Yangtze River should be planned by someone. This person is in the south of the Yangtze River, but the person behind him should be in the imperial capital. "

Guo Jia said, "someone wants to borrow the prince's business, start with the Lord in Jiangnan, and then all gods don't know?"

"It should be so, so everything we see, the other party has deployed, and the real side must not be seen."

"Come into the city. Next, you call me childe. We'll act according to our circumstances."

Ye Jun said softly.

The three men nodded gently, led the horses and walked towards Gusu city.

Enter the city.

The four figures stopped and looked ahead. The buildings in the city did not look as majestic as Jinling, but gave people a euphemistic and small feeling.

The city has weaved rivers, vertical and horizontal stone bridges, high walls and deep lanes, and water pavilions with cornices.

The building makes full use of space, with flexible layout and beautiful shape. The white wall and gray tile reflect each other, and the tone is elegant, plain, bright and clean. It is combined with the distant natural environment to form a picturesque style of water town.

Ye Jun said, "first find a place to rest your feet and eat something."

The three men followed Ye Jun's side and walked along the long street.

The prosperity of Gusu city is beyond Ye Jun's imagination. It is basically certain that there is no flood here.

Shaoqing.

The four came to a restaurant. The waiter saw the four and hurried up, "four guests, eat or stay."

Ye Jun said, "eat something first."

With that, he handed the reins in his hand to the waiter and walked towards the hall. It's not a meal at the moment, so there aren't many people on the first floor of the store.

Only three table guests were eating. Ye Jun found a place by the window and sat down. He looked at his neighbor.

The three were whispering about something. They were very focused. Even ye Jun came in, they didn't notice it at all.

Ye Jun didn't keep staring at the three. While taking back his eyes, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei came in and sat down in front of him.

"Four guests, it should be the first time to Suzhou city. The food in the shop is characteristic."

The waiter said enthusiastically.

Smell the sound.

The three people next to them looked at Ye Jun, but they just looked at it and soon began to talk.

Ye Jun looked back at the counter and said, "bring up your characteristics, Zilong, give me the money."

As soon as Zhao Yun raised his hand, he handed a ingot of broken silver to Xiao Er, "go down and prepare."

Seeing that Zhao Yun gave the sophomore, the three people next to him stopped looking for a long time. Ye Jun smiled and said, "I'm new to the south of the Yangtze River to do some small business, but I'm not familiar with my life. If you don't dislike it, how about having dinner together."

The three people followed the sound and were stunned. They didn't expect Ye Jun to invite them.

But they didn't come directly to Ye Jun's desk. Obviously, ye Jun hesitated. Ye Jun saw everything and thought to himself that these three people are still strong. See if I break your inner defense line.

"You three don't have to worry. I just want me to make a friend."

Speaking of this, he gave Zhao Yun a look. The latter put a bag of silver on the table. The meaning was very clear. It seemed to tell the three people that these silver were theirs.

A man suddenly got up, came to Ye Jun's table and said with a smile, "you are a happy person at first sight. I also like making friends."

Ye Jun said, "sit down."

At this time, the other two also rushed over. They should not want the silver on the table to be swallowed by their companions alone.

After the three took their seats one after another, the waiter had already started serving. Looking at the emerging delicious food, the three swallowed their saliva.

Compared with a plate of peanuts and a plate of small yellow croaker on their table, the food in front of them is really too rich.

Ye Jun picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the three. "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with many places. Please give me your advice."

"I don't know the names of the three brothers."

The three introduced it one after another. Ye Jun knew that the first man to come was Wang long, named "dog residue."

The other two are Li Hu and Qian Feng.

Wang Long said, "I don't know what business you do."

Ye Jun said, "food and salt."

Smell the sound.

Wang Long stopped and said with regret, "after this meal, where do you come from and where do you go back?"

Ye Junlian hurriedly said, "what's the matter? Can't the sound of food and salt be good? Jiangnan Dao is rich in these two things. "

"Of course, this time I'm not only buying food, but also selling food. Jiangnan has not just experienced flood, so I'm sure I can buy food at a good price."

Wang long looked around and said cautiously, "you are also a real person. I'll tell you the truth. In the south of the Yangtze River, food and salt are in the hands of officials and aristocratic families, and no one will interfere at all. As for your plan to sell grain, you'd better give up early. Refugees are homeless and corpses are everywhere. If they have money to buy grain, they won't do so. In addition, you rob the family's business by selling grain, and they won't let you go. "

Ye Jun raised his glass and said with a light smile, "thank you for your advice, or I will be in danger. Don't lose your life in the south of the Yangtze River if you don't succeed in business."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "no, I heard that Prince Xia came to Jiangnan in person at the beginning of the flood. Didn't he do a good job after the disaster? How come there are victims everywhere and there are dead bones on the road? "

"Also, I came all the way from the north and didn't meet a refugee. The Suzhou city is still prosperous and desirable."

Wang Long raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup. "How can you say that you are an outsider? The Prince did come to Jiangnan, but he soon returned home. The situation at that time was too chaotic. The prince could not solve it at all. He could only go to the capital for help. Then he would never return, and the things in Jiangnan would be over."

"As for what your excellency said about the lack of refugees and the prosperity of Gusu City, all these are maintained by official families and aristocratic families. Most of the refugees are in Nanshao city and Yangcheng City, which are the worst affected this time."

Smell the sound.

Ye Jun had an ominous premonition. If Wang Long's words were true, the prince and the enemy should have fallen into each other's calculations. Now they are very dangerous.

But the other party did not send the news back to the capital, deliberately blocked all the news, but released the news after returning from the north.

This is directed at him again. Ye Jun is very helpless. He is such a kind man. How can there always be tricksters who want to harm him?
