After Zhang Shun listened to Song Xiance's advice, he thought about it again and thought, "Yes." After all, I am just one person. Even if I have great abilities, I am still weak in all aspects.

Now that Chen Changzhen and Zhang Sanbai can be trained by themselves, they can now stand alone. This Xiao Qinhu was originally his sworn brother, and he had performed well several times, enough to be trained into a tiger general.

Thinking of this, Zhang smiled and said: "In that case, please trouble Mr. Song and Governor Zhang to go out and accompany my brother to eliminate this thief, so as to enhance the prestige of our army!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Shun said again: "It's just that brother should be more careful and ask Mr. Song and Mr. Zhang about everything. If this thief talks about his combat power, I'm afraid my brother will kill him with one arm. But this place is dangerous, It’s quite similar to the Lin Family Village back then, you need to be outsmarted, not overpowered!”

After receiving the order, Xiao Qinhu, Song Xiance and Governor Zhang specially borrowed two more Hongyi cannons from Li Shi'an, and went to Sanchuan with the 500 garrison soldiers from the original camp.

This so-called Sanchuanji is actually a town. Just because the land in western Henan is remote and beyond the reach of Yima Avenue, but there is also the need for trade, several trails were spontaneously formed.

This place extends to Luoning in the north, Luanchuan in the south, Song County in the east, and Lushi in the west. It has become a place where people from all over the world travel.

Reputable local people took the opportunity to set up a market, and the famous Sanchuan Market was formed.

The Lu family has little land, but is rich in minerals, mountain delicacies and game, so they have to rely on trade to exchange for daily supplies. As a result, the Sanchuan Market became very popular. The people around them had furs, fungus, mushrooms and other items, and used them to exchange money for food. Merchants used this to purchase these rare objects from the plains and sell them elsewhere to make profits.

When Xiao Qinhu, Song Xiance, and Governor Zhang disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and led 20 or 30 people to Sanchuanji, they saw a large population, dozens of shops, and bustle.

Song Xiance was a fortune-teller who traveled around the world, so he could be called a veteran. He just caught a passerby, stuffed him with three to five coins and asked: "We are merchants from the east of Henan. We first came to this precious land and don't understand the rules. I don't know who I should visit first before doing anything." Buy and sell?”

As the saying goes, "Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways." Song Xiance traveled all over the country and knew the rules of "paying respect to the dock".

Sure enough, the man heard the words and said with a smile: "Go forward twenty or thirty steps, do you see that house with a tall door? All you need to do is pay your respects to Mr. Lu, and everything will be easy! Mr. Lu is a kind and righteous man, and he likes merchants to come. , just go ahead!"

Xiao Qinhu and Governor Zhang heard the words and were about to go forward, but Song Xiance reached out to stop them. He smiled and said: "It's too reckless to act like this. Let's go later!"

Xiao Qinhu and Governor Zhang, one was a mountain hunter and the other was a Confucian scholar and a Jinyiwei. They didn't understand this, so they had no choice but to agree.

Then Song Xiance asked others again and again, and after he had almost found out about Mr. Lu, he smiled and said: "Be prepared, and there is always a saying in the art of war, 'Know yourself, know the enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.' My method of navigating the rivers and lakes is not bad at all. Now, Just go!"

So the three of them led the guards to Lu Mansion and knocked on the door. Not long after, a man who looked like a servant opened the door and asked, "Are you looking for my master? I wonder what the three of you do and what do you call them?"

The three of them responded in vain, and then the man said "wait a moment" and went back to report.

When Song Xiance saw that nothing happened, he smiled and said to Xiao Qinhu and Zhang Dudu: "This Mr. Lu is indeed a good businessman!"

Governor Zhang thought to himself: I am from Jinyiwei, so I can be considered very perceptive. How could I not know? So, he asked: "How can I see it?"

"If it were somewhere else, the door of this mansion would have been closed when reporting back, to prevent any reckless person from bumping into the noble man. However, this servant of the Lu Mansion deliberately opened the door to comfort the visitor, which shows that he is thoughtful and considerate. He is meticulous and has some skills."

"Just think about it, how would I feel if I came to ask for help but was rejected before I even met?"

Governor Zhang was shocked when he heard this. He was quite upright and had always been able to offend people. Otherwise, he would not have made great achievements and would still be reviled.

Although it is said that there is a reason why the party is united and opposed, it may not be due to Governor Zhang's personal reasons. He originally only thought that Zhang Shunnai was Zhang Shenyan's puppet, or maybe even a member of the Zhang clan in Yangcheng, but now he did not expect that this little-known charlatan warlock under his command could have such an opinion. I need to be careful this time, and I must not mess up in the gutter.

After coming over for a while, I saw a healthy old man, nearly fifty years old, wearing silk and satin, coming out.

Song Xiance asked in surprise: "Are you Mr. Lu? I have admired you for a long time. I am so ashamed of you for your kindness!"

But Mr. Lu smiled and said: "I'm a guest from afar, why shouldn't I be accepted? I'm not from a wealthy family, and I don't have an official position. I just live here, people in the world care for me, and I have a little reputation. It's not worth it. What do you think!"

Let's say that after several people saw the ceremony, they were welcomed in by Mr. Lu. Several people distinguished the host and guest and took their seats.

After Song Xiance presented the gift, he smiled carefully and said: "We came from Chenzhou in eastern Henan. I heard that your land is rich in treasures, so I came here to purchase it!"

Mr. Lu took a sip of tea and asked in a friendly voice: "What treasures are there in the poor valley? I only produce some products from the mountains and wild places. The more expensive ones include fur and medicinal materials, while the more expensive ones include walnuts, mountain mushrooms, and fungus." Waiting for something, I wonder what the guest wants to buy?"

After hearing this, Song Xiance looked around and saw Master Lu remained calm, so he asked in a low voice: "We will also purchase some of these items, but we are not focusing on it this time. I heard that the Lu family produces gold, so I I want to buy some gold. Is there any way for Mr. Lu to buy it?"

Mr. Lu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted sternly: "Who are you? How dare you do this against the law?"

It turns out that all the gold and silver mines in the Ming Dynasty were owned by the royal family. Once they were mined, they could only be mined by decree of the emperor.

However, this move will inevitably disturb the local area and is often regarded as a foolish move by civil servants. Therefore, it is not a routine practice to ban it and open it sometimes.

However, gold and silver are precious things. How can the people in the mountains occupy the treasure mountain without entering? Every time illegal mining was carried out, the court could not stop it.

Secretly everyone knew what was going on, but they still dared not speak out openly. Therefore, when Mr. Lu heard Song Xiance mention this matter, he quickly put aside the relationship.

Song Xiance was not alarmed when he heard this, but smiled and said: "Why should Mr. Lu deceive himself? We are also old merchants. We have already known the key point!"

When Mr. Lu heard this, this person said that he was also an insider, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. To be cautious, he ordered: "Give them two pieces of leather and let them see what is going on!"

Song Xiance was shocked when he heard this. Even Dao was broken. How could he know anything about it? Isn’t this going to be a betrayal!
