Dajin royal family
Chapter 182 Tochara
Chapter 182 Tochara
The business of Xianchun Tea House has been getting better and better since it was handed over to Fatty Lin to take care of it. Not only is it a business on the surface, but the sales of the elixir cinnabar in private are even hotter.Although they were warned by the Chang'an county captain last time because of the incident of Cui Zifu being eaten to death, as long as the court did not expressly stipulate that no trafficking was allowed, they would have the guts to seek huge profits in private.
What's more, although Fatty Lin doesn't know what the background of Master Si is, he can see one thing, that is, several tea houses in the surrounding area have been blackmailed by guards or Chang'an rascals, but no one dares to come here to cause trouble Son.
"Master Si, what's the important thing here today?" Fatty Lin served the tea and carefully waited on the man. This man is the one who decides his fate, and it's not too much to decide his life or death with a single word.
Mei Si didn't drink tea, and ordered: "Don't open the door today, I will borrow your place and stay in the room, and you are not allowed to come out without my order."
Hearing this, Fatty Lin nodded immediately. It is very important to work behind Mr. Si. Do more things and ask less nonsense. Don't ask if Mr. Si doesn't tell you anything.
Fatty Lin went up the stairs numbly, entered the room and closed the door.
Mei Si picked up the tea and threw it away, took out a bag of good tea leaves from the grid with ease, brewed them carefully, and then stood aside, waiting for something.
Not long after, a young man entered the tea house with two guards.
Mei Si immediately knelt down on one knee, "See Master."
Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Get up."
"Thank you, Master." Mei Si stood up and nodded to Nan Jiyun and Zu Yan.
In Jiang Chengxiao's plan, Xianchun Tea House is just one of the "Plum Blossoms"'s footholds, and does not undertake the task of attracting money.However, Mei Si's business is not bad, and he was not asked to transfer funds to supplement him every month.
"Master, this is Mengding stone flower tea from Bashu. It tastes pretty good. Please try it, master."
Jiang Chengxiao looked around, and finally set his eyes on the cup of tea, and slowly knelt down on the main seat. When he picked up the tea and was about to drink it, Nan Jiyun blocked it first, and looked at Mei Si quietly. .
"Damn my subordinate, I forgot the rules." Mei Si hurriedly stepped forward to try tea.
"All right, Jiyun." Jiang Chengxiao waved his hand, stopped Mei Si, then let Nan Jiyun back down, took a sip of the tea, "They are all my own people, I can trust them."
Mei Si nodded and quietly stepped aside.
Not long after, Wu Shanhui led a man in a black blindfold into the room.After entering, Wu Shanhui took off his mask, Hu Gebao squinted his eyes, and his sight gradually recovered. When he saw King Zhao's son kneeling on the main seat and drinking tea, he immediately knelt down and bowed, "See you, son."
Jiang Chengxiao looked at Hu Gebao, who was getting fatter, a little bit surprised, and then teased: "It seems that Mr. Hu's family has been doing well recently."
Hu Gebao was taken aback, looked down at his big belly, and said with a blushing face, "If I hadn't been protected by my son, I would have died in the mouth of wolves."
These words came from his heart, because of the patronage of the eldest son, he can basically get a little supply at various post stations in the Jin Dynasty when he returns to the Western Regions, and sometimes he can even go with the frontier army.His safety has been greatly improved, not to mention that the prince has sent many people to the Western Regions with him, thanks to the protection of those people along the way.
But he also knew that those people were not only protecting him, but they might also be monitoring him.
"Tell me, what's the big deal about seeing me in person." Jiang Chengxiao said lightly.
Wu Shanhui closed the door silently, and stood by the door with his arms crossed.
Hu Gebao slowly took out a small box from his arms. Before Jiang Chengxiao could react, Nan Jiyun and Zu Yan took a few steps forward at the same time, staring at Hu Gebao.
Hu Gebao glanced at Nan Jiyun and Zu Yan in fear, and after receiving Jiang Chengxiao's signal, he slowly opened the box, revealing the blood ruby in the box.
"My lord, this thing is called a blood ruby. It was originally a gemstone inlaid on the royal staff, representing the royal family of Tocharian." The simple two-sentence introduction made Jiang Chengxiao interested in that thing.
Tocharian is a fairly powerful country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and it is also the first affiliated country of the Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions.At the beginning, Changsun Sheng united Tucharo and several other countries in the Western Regions to beat the Western Turks until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he fled back to the prairie to fight for hegemony with Chuluo.
It's just that this is the first time he has seen this blood ruby, so he doesn't know whether it is true or not.
Hu Gebao continued: "Please give the villain a basin of water, and the villain will demonstrate it to the gentleman."
Next, Hu Gebao reproduced the previous scene of Kang Qiaoli, and Nan Jiyun and others were all amazed.There is actually such a gemstone that can heat and dye in this world?
Nan Jiyun presented the blood ruby to Jiang Chengxiao, he stretched out his hand to play with it, and really felt the warmth from the gem.But his face was very calm, not as crazy as Hu Gebao imagined.
Now the prince gave him the feeling as if he was looking at a very ordinary stone, which made him puzzled. He could guarantee that the emperor might not have a second piece of this gem.
Jiang Chengxiao was indeed looking at the stone, because he had never seen a stone that could generate heat and dye, but it should have nothing to do with gems. This might be some kind of very rare ore.To be honest, he doesn't like this thing. Although it is very novel, it may also carry some hazards.After all, his thinking is different from that of people of this era.
But then again, it is a good option to deceive people.
"This thing is good, very interesting." Jiang Chengxiao commented lightly, which made Hu Gebao stunned. In his expectation, Shi Zi should be extremely happy to praise himself.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chengxiao said: "You said this is a gem representing the Tocharian royal family, then how did you get it, you can't be in secret." Jiang Chengxiao had a smile on his face, and he didn't put the Tocharian royal family in the slightest In his heart, since he took a fancy to this thing, it would be his, even if the Tocharian royal family came to him one day, it would be his.
"No, no." Hu Gebao explained, sweating profusely: "Your Majesty was wrong, the villain would have the guts to do that kind of thing, it was given to the villain by one of his compatriots, and he wanted to meet the villain through the villain." See you, son."
"See me?" Jiang Chengxiao raised his eyebrows, "Did you tell me?"
He didn't want himself to be exposed. After all, as a respectable nobleman, if others knew that he protected Hu merchants, it would damage his reputation, and King Zhao would not agree.Who made the merchant's reputation so stinky, "copper stink" is an adjective exclusive to merchants.
"No, no, no." Hu Gebao quickly explained: "The villain didn't. I just promised him to ask for your opinion. I didn't disclose anything about you to him."
Jiang Chengxiao held the blood ruby, and asked lightly: "Did he see me for anything?"
Hu Gebao said: "He also hopes to get the protection of the son, and said that he will give the son better things."
"Asylum?" Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "Your compatriot is quite courageous. He even dared to take the jewels of the royal family. He is really courageous. Well, let me guess what kind of refined iron he is? Human trafficking ? Or Ordnance?”
Hearing the word "Ordnance", Hu Gebao broke into a cold sweat immediately, and explained: "The villain doesn't know. The villain only knows that he sells the most slaves, but he really doesn't know about the others. If the son is worried, the villain will I went back to him."
"You're nervous." Prince Zhao's voice was calm, but there was a certain confident doubt in the calm.
Nan Jiyun moved the horizontal knife.Hit it on the floor with a "bump".
Gollum.
Hu Gebao swallowed his saliva, and immediately said truthfully: "The villain only knows that Kang Qiaoli seems to have a very close relationship with the third prince of Tocharian. I don't know anything else. It may be that he is selling arms."
There is a saying in the Han people, a dead monk does not die a Taoist priest, Kang Qiaoli is what you have to get together, don't blame me if he dies.
Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, he was just intimidating Hu Gebao, he didn't expect him to be so cowardly, and he didn't use much force to recruit them all.
However, this matter is very interesting. Selling Dajin's armaments, this man named Conjoli may be the third prince of Tochara behind it, otherwise how would he get this gem.
