Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 171

The entire Sishui County is divided into surrounding towns, counties and villages, and the total land area in Guangcheng is equivalent to the size of eight Hesong towns.

With the direct center as the distinction, it is simply divided into two districts, the north and the south.The southern district can be divided into four small blocks according to the streets, and the northern district can be further divided into five small blocks.

The pavement chosen by Zhou Li is located in the Ganshiqiao block in the southern district of the county. It is the largest block in the southern district of Sishui County, and it is also a block with the most complicated social class.

During this period, there are all walks of life, three religions and nine streams, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and everything that one expects to find.The chaos is also correspondingly bustling.

There are several criss-crossing streets and alleys in each block, and the shops are located some feet away from the main block, but fortunately, they are closer to the city gate.

For this reason, the shops on the entire small street are mostly inns, taverns, restaurants, and food stalls. In addition, there are two escort agencies and a sundry shop that specializes in saddles, horseshoes, reins, ropes, and other miscellaneous items for traveling. .

Immediately to the left of Zhou Li's shop is the grocery store that occupies a large area and is quite famous in the entire small street.

Gu Qi stood outside the shop and looked in, and saw that there were also riding boots, protective gear, felt hats and other items sold inside, which were somewhat similar to outdoor goods stores in modern society.

Gu Qi looked up and saw the signboard above the shop read: Ma Shi Nan Za. (Note: During the Northern Song Dynasty, the grocery store was commonly known as Nanzadian, which is still used here)

Of course, the name of this store is not because it specializes in horse gear, but because the shopkeeper's surname is Ma.

When Gu Qi entered, there were no customers in the store, a young guy was packing the goods, and the middle-aged shopkeeper was doing the accounting behind the counter.

Gu Qi reached out and tapped the counter three times, seeing the shopkeeper raised his head, he said, "I'm here to look for food."

The shopkeeper paused, put down the account in his hand and asked, "Where is the girl from?"

"From the mountains."

The shopkeeper's expression was slightly relaxed, and he continued to ask: "Where is the girl going?"

"Cross the water and go home."

"Where does the girl live?"

Gu Qi raised his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Live in Tangtou Township (Xiang)."

*
"Girls please."

After the words fell, the shopkeeper had a warm smile on his face, and called the staff to help guard the shop, while he led Gu Qi to the inner courtyard.

There are many traveler gangs, from all walks of life, but if you really want to find out some useful information, you need to find those insiders who are called 'Fang Shou'.

But to find these insiders to do things, you need to use the four-character code word "mountain, hall, water, incense" in the Shangxing Foot Gang.

Besides, just now, when Gu Qi entered the shop, he used his right foot to cross the threshold, which is one of the rules.

Although the shopkeeper in the shop didn't say it clearly at that time, he had already begun to pay attention.In the future, no matter the word "look for food" at the beginning of the dialogue, or you come to me to ask the source, it is all to complete the code word.

"What is the girl asking?" In the reception flower hall in the backyard, the horse shopkeeper poured tea for the two before asking.

"Looking for someone. Lin Sanniang, a person from Yuzhou Prefecture, has a husband and son.
It was sold to Surabaya County two months ago. Your people have seen it in the dental clinic, and there has been no news since then. "

"It turned out to be someone looking for."

Shopkeeper Ma took out a special booklet, recorded the basic information about Lin Sanniang's physical appearance and characteristics that Gu Qi had just described, and said:
"Since the person has appeared in Sishui County, it is not difficult to find it. It's just that the name Lin Sanniang is a bit unusual, so it will take some effort.

The deposit is 20 taels, and after the person is found, another [-] taels will be settled.If the person is not found, the final payment will not be collected, and the deposit will not be refunded. "

"How many days will there be news?" Gu Qi asked.

"It will take at least three days," said Ma Treasurer.

Three days later, Gu Qi frowned.

Originally, it was possible to wait for three days, but now because of the matter between the scholar and the Qin family, Gu Qi cannot stay in Sishui County for too long.After thinking for a while, Gu Qi took the silver and put it on the side table: "If there is any news, go to the shop next door to you and find the shopkeeper Wang An."

"Next door?" Shopkeeper Ma was taken aback.

Gu Qi raised his eyes, and said with a smile: "After the year, the Four Seas Escort Bureau will open, so Master Laoma will take care of it."

"Where is there. Girls are polite, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and they will take care of each other if they have a business." Hearing this, the shopkeeper Ma smiled more and more sincerely.

If there is any industry that consumes and damages harness the fastest, except for the caravan, it is the escort agency.

Excluding the business of the private walking gang, Ma Shi Nanza opened on this street, and more than half of the business was financed by the caravans of several nearby escort agencies.

After leaving the grocery store, around noon, Zhou Li asked a nearby restaurant to deliver a table of food and drinks.A group of people were eating and chatting about the follow-up in the backyard of the shop.

Except for the people brought by Gu Qi and Zhou Li this time, Zhou Li already had two people in Sishui County, one named Lu Ergou and the other named Li Si. The situation is also very well understood.

At the dinner table, the two of them talked about the situation of several escort agencies, large and small, in Surabaya County, and then focused on a few escort agencies with powerful background behind them.

"The four most well-known escort agencies in Sishui County are Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang.

The Jiang family's name is Flying Eagle Escort Bureau, an old brand Escort Bureau in Sishui County, which has existed since the previous dynasty, with a history of hundreds of years.In Flying Eagle Escort Bureau, there are currently three chief escorts, ten escorts, and hundreds of escorts.

The Shen family's name is the Zhenyuan Escort, an old-fashioned Escort like the Flying Eagle Escort.However, the head office of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is not located in the county seat, but in Sishan Town outside Sishui County, about 20 miles away from the county seat.

The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has two chief escorts, and also has more than ten escorts and hundreds of escorts.The relationship with Flying Eagle Bodyguard Bureau has not been very good, but because the chassis of the two companies are far apart, there has not been much trouble.

In addition, the Han and Yang families are relatives by marriage, and their names are Longteng Escort and Wanfeng Escort respectively. "

After Li Si finished his speech, Lu Ergou answered: "The number of bodyguards and escorts under the names of Han and Yang are obviously less than that of Jiang and Shen.

However, due to the generations of in-laws of the Han and Yang families, they have excellent connections and excellent relationships, so these two families are now very popular in Sishui County.

Not to mention those small bodyguard agencies that are not as good as theirs dare not offend these two, even the oldest Eagle bodyguard agency has to avoid their edge in recent years. "

What Lu Ergou said was the truth, Li Si nodded, and continued to add: "In addition, I heard that Han's youngest daughter married Xi Chuanqian's youngest son at the beginning of this year."

*
"The governor of Xichuanqian?" Wang An frowned: "The Xizhou army is not easy to offend. The background of the Han family is deep enough."

It is said that Sishui County is [-] miles away from Xizhou Prefecture, and the Western Zhou Army has no way to intervene in several prefectures and counties in Central Plains.

The strange thing is that there is a difference of [-] miles, the Han family is just a merchant, or a merchant with a not-so-clean background, and they can let their daughter marry into Xichuan Qian's family.

It is self-evident how many contacts can be involved here.

　Come to a chapter first, it's too late, another chapter will be released tomorrow afternoon.
