Chapter 1208: Arrive in Lingnan

Seeing the nightfall, Xie Kun stood up and ordered the two friends to say, "Close the door, prepare to take stock!"

The two friends immediately became excited. Today is the end of the New Year. After closing the door and taking stock, they can receive the New Year bounty and then go home to reunite the family.

Xie Kun is a business in Guangzhou that specializes in liquor management. In the past two years, grain has become increasingly tight, and even people like him who spent a lot of money to get a brewing license were almost unable to continue to operate it. Because the grain can be provided for them to make wine is less and less year by year. Although the jars and jars in his store are filled with wine, they are basically brewed persimmon wine and some other fruit wines. Although they also have a taste of wine, they are far worse than real wine.

If you can't do wine, you will naturally not be able to sell it for the price.

Of course, I don’t want to make money, but the expenses will not be reduced. The annual license fee will still be paid, otherwise you will not even be allowed to sell fruit wine, and all kinds of taxes and donations will not be reduced. Otherwise, the government will keep asking you for trouble.

In the past two years, Xie Kun has been relying on his capital.

Many businesses like him, and even some businesses with stronger strength than Xie Kun, have long gone bankrupt and have ended in disgrace. I don’t know where to go. The reason why Xie Kun can survive until now is not because he is well-managed, but because he has another identity.

He was a spy detective from the Tang Dynasty in Guangzhou, and he was also the leader in charge of this place in Guangzhou.

The two guys had just installed half of the door panel, but suddenly there were chaotic footsteps outside. Xie Kun felt a thrust in his heart. To be honest, he has been unable to sleep or eat since Wang Yikun's accident. It should be noted that he is one of the people who have the most contact with Wang Yikun, and was directly led by Wang Yikun before.

If Wang Yikun rebelled, I am afraid that the first group of arrested people would be like him. In the Guangzhou court, he could definitely be regarded as a big fish.

Now, whenever there is such a messy and regular footsteps, he will be jumping around. The whole family is here! The hat of the Tang Dynasty spy detective was confirmed, and the family has dozens of people, and their heads are about to fall to the ground.

"Huo joined the army!" Looking at the officer who led the way in, Xie Kun's heart fell to the ground. If he really came to arrest him, it would not be Huo Chunhuo, who was in charge of logistics, would join the army.

"Shopkeeper, I'll ask for all the wine you have here!" Huo Chun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him honestly and unceremoniously began to move the wine from the store out.

"Huo Zongjun, these are all fruit wine!" Xie Kun did not dare to stop him, so he could only smile carefully: "The taste is not good, it's okay to deceive the villagers. If you take it, will you blame me then?"

Huo Chun spread his hands: "Thank you, do you think the people above will drink this wine? This is for the soldiers. There are so many things to pay attention to, and the smell of wine is enough for them to have fun! This is a grace to the general!"

When Xie Kun heard this, he knew that this matter was unsuccessful: "Huo Zongjun, what about this tent?"

"Remember it!" Huo Chun waved his hand and said, "I'll come back to you. You know, it's common for state affairs to be difficult now, but the army cannot neglect it."

Xie Kun immediately cried and looked sad. This time, I don’t know when it would take a look back.

"Huo Chanjun, look at my two friends and the wine-making workers. They haven't paid any salary for half a year. For the New Year, I can't let someone go back empty-handed for the New Year. They are all old people who have been with me for many years. There is no place to put their faces on!"

Huo Chun looked at Xie Kun with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xie, please stop crying with me poor. In the past, you businessmen earned a lot."

"Huo joined the army, and every time the general wants to donate, I will do my best." Xie Kun said.

"I know!" Huo Chun said: "It's really not working."

He quietly pulled Huo Chun aside and Xie Kun said, "Huo joined the army, and I still have a jar of old wine hidden in my house."

Huo Chun's eyes lit up: "Is it the drunk you made in the past?"

"It's just this one, I'm dedicated to joining the army!" Xie Kun said with helplessness and pain.

As he spoke, he called a guy and whispered a few instructions.

After a moment, the guy brought a jar that could hold more than ten kilograms of wine.

Huo Chun laughed: "Good guy, I know you still have stock. Thank you, the shopkeeper, if you don't force you, you still don't know how to respect me? Just give in to those big guys!"

"Where, this is the last jar. I was originally going to drink it myself during the Chinese New Year. There is no more." Xie Kun swears.

"Come on!" Huo Chun waved his hand: "Early tomorrow morning, where are you going to me, I'll settle the account for you!"

"Thank you for joining the army!" Xie Kun bowed to the ground with a grateful look on his face.

Seeing that the room of fruit wine was emptied, Huo Chun promised to check the bill tomorrow, and the two friends were happy. As long as the bill was settled, no matter what, it was a big business.

After seeing Huo Chun off, Xie Kun walked back to the Guru, took out two big red envelopes that had been prepared long ago, and handed them to the two friends who had last been persistent and said, "Happy New Year! Although the New Year is not good, the New Year still needs to be a good time."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" The two guys took the red envelope happily and touched it and knew that there were at least five silver dollars in it.

Although the years are difficult, the shopkeeper has always been generous, at least he has never owed their wages. As for what Xie Kun and Huo Chun said before, in their opinion, it was just a means of complaining.

"There are two jars of fruit wine under the counter, please move it back!" Xie Kun waved his hand.

The two guys put the door panel on the door first, then they brought the wine and happily walked out of the back door with red envelopes.

After covering the back door, Xie Kun sighed, stroked his chest, and calmed his breath. It seemed that although Wang Yikun, the bastard, had run away, he was not so crazy that he betrayed his former companion. This was a blessing in disguise. I hope this bastard had already run away 108,000 miles, so that they would be safe.

Tuk, kuk. A slight rhythmic knock on the back door suddenly sounded. Xie Kun was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened the back door.

A man wearing a cloak appeared in front of him, and behind the man, there were still a few figures.

"who?"

The visitor pulled down the scarf with his face covering. Seeing those faces, Xie Kun almost screamed, but the other party responded faster. He covered his mouth and stepped in with him.

"Xie Kun, it's gone!"

As everyone came into the yard, the person came to let go of his hand and said with a smile.

"General Gao!" Xie Kun took a deep breath. As soon as he saw it, his blood rushed straight into his head. He almost fainted.

Of course, he knew Gao Xiangchang. And he would never forget it for his life, because the other person's face is really hard to forget as long as he has seen him once.

"Go in and talk!" Gao Xiangsheng waved his hand.

Xie Kun nodded repeatedly, and saw the few people following Gao Xiangsheng disappearing into the yard like ghosts. He was not surprised and led Gao Xiangsheng into the house.

Take out a small jar of wine from a small cabinet, pour a glass and hand it to Gao Xiangsheng.

"A whole house is drunk, ten years old wine, drink a glass of wine to get rid of the cold!"

Gao Xiangsheng took the wine, drank it all, and smiled and said, "It's hard to endure this period, right?"

Xie Kun's eyes felt sore and he almost burst into tears.

"Yes, it's hard to bear. The superiors didn't give orders to retreat. We really live like a year!"

"I did a good job. Although I lived like a year, valuable information was still being sent out continuously, which played a lot of role in the court's final decision!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "After a while, you will be promoted."

He dragged the chair and asked Gao Xiangsheng to sit down. Xie Kun said, "There is such a big mess in Lingnan. Even if we are not implicated, we will say whether we are promoted or not. General Gao, if you can, I want to go to the north! I am really worried enough, and I don't say it myself. The key is that my wife and children are all together!"

Gao Xiangsheng was silent for a moment: "I know all your difficulties, but now you cannot do without them. After Wang Yikun disappeared, you are the person who is most familiar with this place. Therefore, you need to stick to it, and your family cannot leave. Once you leave, it will attract attention."

Xie Kun sat down with a sigh and just drank a muffled wine.

"I've been transferred back to Chang'an!" Gao Xiangsheng slowly savored the wine and said, "Substituted Tian Bo's position."

Xie Kun's eyes lit up, and then he understood why Gao Xiangsheng said he could be promoted to the position. It turns out that the person in front of him is now the second-in-commander of the Intelligence Committee.

"Why are you, why are you still taking the risk to come here?"

"Before I take office, I will find Wang Yikun." Gao Xiangsheng snorted coldly. "Whether Wang Yikun or you are my old foundation in the past. This time, he made me lose all my face. If I don't clean up the portal, what kind of face do I have to go back to Chang'an?"

"He is missing. I tried every means to find him on the ground in Lingnan, but I couldn't find him." Xie Kun shook his head and said, "You also know that everyone on this line is looking for him as if he is crazy. If this person does not die, no one will fall in love with him."

"If you say he is not in Guangzhou, then he will definitely be gone." Gao Xiangsheng pondered: "Then he has only one place to go. Fujian and Zhangzhou."

"I have also searched in Zhangzhou, but I haven't found it!" Xie Kun shook his head and said.

"It must be somewhere!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "You are too familiar with Guangzhou and him, and he dare not stay here, but there are fewer people familiar with him in Zhangzhou. With his ability, it is too simple to hide his identity. Maybe he started preparing for this new identity a few years ago. Only there will he have the chance to escape."

"Escape overseas?" Xie Kun was shocked.

"He knew that the south would be our pocket sooner or later, so if he wanted to survive, he had to escape overseas." Gao Xiangsheng said coldly. "Next, use your network to check the chambers of commerce in Zhangzhou, especially those related to shipping!"

"Wang Yikun cannot show up in public."

"What if he changed his appearance?" Gao Xiangsheng asked in reverse: "What if he had prepared a new identity and had a huge change in appearance?"

"How is this possible?"
