Chapter 598 There Are Beasts Biting Iron
Chapter 598 There Are Beasts Biting Iron (Thanks to the young dragon boy for the reward)
Soon, Ma Zheng got the answer about whether what Pei Ningwen said was true or not.
Merchants from all over the world, most of them are not the eyeliner of Xu Guo, Liang Guo, and Chen Guo, but most of them are secretly smuggling military horses, and after returning home, they double sell them to other countries to earn the difference.
Every once in a while, these merchants will exchange news at various fixed locations. Some are smuggling military horses, some are smuggling ordnance, and some are secretly collecting news from the Northern Jin Dynasty under the identity of a merchant like Ma Zheng.
On this day, an explosive news spread among these merchants.Hong Ba was discovered by the Northern Jin Dynasty for smuggling army horses, and the entire Hong Family Tea House where he was located was thoroughly investigated, and dozens of people were arrested and sent to Dali Temple Prison.
In addition, many merchants who had secretly done business with Hong Ba were arrested.
After the news spread, many merchants who had traded with Hong Ba fled Taiyuan immediately. They may not be secretive, but they are also afraid, because the crime of smuggling military horses is very serious.
Sang's Restaurant.
"I was really arrested." After hearing the news of Sang Lou, Ma Zheng was obviously shocked, as if he hadn't gotten out of the aftermath of the news.
Sang Lou's face was serious, and he was also very nervous.
"That's right, according to the news, several Jiangnan merchants who were negotiating with Hong Ba to buy military horses were all arrested for the crime of 'espionage by the enemy country', and Hong Ba's undercover agents in various places were also found out."
After a pause, Sang Lou continued: "Many people are planning to leave Taiyuan first, why don't you also go out to avoid the limelight, if Hong Ba confesses you."
Ma Zheng shook his head, "The more this is the case, the more we cannot leave Taiyuan."
"why?"
"This time the Northern Jin Dynasty was clearly prepared to uproot Hong Ba at once. They must have known that many people secretly had transactions with Hong Ba. If my guess is correct, all the local passes in Bingzhou are now under martial law. , Leaving Taiyuan at this time is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. On the contrary, I stay here, which is safer."
Sang Lou thought for a while, "What you said is not impossible. If you want to stay in Taiyuan, stay in the secret room and don't go out. I will personally deliver food to you. Let's talk about it after the limelight passes."
"Well, it's the only way to do it now." Ma Zheng felt quite emotional about the rest of his life, "I didn't expect that this time it was thanks to Pei Ning's news. Now it seems that we were able to control him back then. Good chess."
Sang Lou said: "There is no need to worry about Pei Ningjian. He has deep entanglements with us now. He also understands that if we are exposed, he will not end well. With the things he helped us do, Pei Ju can't keep it. his."
"Furthermore, now that he is studying with Pei Ju, he probably doesn't want to die even more."
Ma Zheng said: "That's what I said, but don't take it lightly. Let's ask him to send more news during this time."
"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Sang Lou said.
Zhao Palace.
There is a garden in the northwest corner of the palace, where there are many docile animals, such as golden monkeys, white deer, golden pheasants and so on.
The sky was bright and clear, Jiang Chengxiao was free, and brought his daughters to the garden to watch animals.
Based on the principle of diligence and thrift, the garden is actually not extravagant at all. It simply built a fence around the periphery and encloses a piece of land dedicated to raising small animals.The animals inside are docile and don't need to be trained by animal trainers, they only need a little care from people.
Today he brought his concubines to play. Several animal trainers diligently drove the animals out of the trees, bushes, and holes in the ground, and guided the small animals to do many interesting movements, which attracted all the girls to hide their faces and smile. .
At a distance of more than ten steps from the girls, Jiang Chengxiao knelt and sat in the pavilion, with Nan Jiyun beside him.
"My lord, neither Ma Zheng nor Sang Lou moved. Our people didn't come out after seeing Ma Zheng enter the Sang's restaurant. They probably got the news and hid in the restaurant." Nan Jiyun said.
"It's quite smart, no wonder it has been lurking in Taiyuan for such a long time without being discovered." Jiang Chengxiao took a sip from the tea cup.
Playing a full set, now all the passes in the entire Northern Jin Dynasty are under martial law, if this Ma Zheng really leaves Taiyuan, he will definitely not be able to escape.On the contrary, staying in Taiyuan is the safest.
It's a pity that he didn't know that he had been completely exposed.
"What did Hong Ba say?"
"He said that this time Ma Zheng did not participate in the bidding for military horses."
The corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth twitched, "It seems that Mr. Pei has fallen into a deep trap, and the news got out from Pei Ju so quickly."
When the teacup was put down, there was a sound, and the tea in the cup was rippling, reflecting Jiang Chengxiao's obscure face.
"My lord, how will Hong Ba deal with them?"
"Hong Ba and other people who have been exposed are all secretly sent to the grassland, and they are asked to switch positions with those people in the grassland, and they are said to be all executed in prison."
"Yes." Nan Jiyun said: "Master, where are the merchants who were arrested?"
"They violated the laws of the Northern Jin Dynasty and smuggled military horses. Needless to say?"
"My subordinate understands."
Jiang Chengxiao tapped on the table lightly, making a 'duk-duk' sound.
After a while, he said to Nan Jiyun: "Go and inform our people and Pei Ju that the next step can be made."
"Yes."
Nan Jiyun bowed and retreated.
At this time, the childish laughter came from the other side of the fence.
Mrs. Bai's son, Jiang Xie, stared wide-eyed, looking through the fence at a chubby black and white creature not far away.
Jiang Chi, who was in Xiuyu's arms, also stretched out his white and tender little hand, pointing at the chubby creature that he had never seen before.
This time when they came to watch the animals, Jiang Heng and other children who had entered school did not come. The youngest son, Jiang Xi, was too young and not yet full-term, so he should not be brought out. He stayed in the palace with his mother Xiao Xian.The only ones who followed were Jiang Xie and Jiang Xie.
"Sister, what kind of beast is that, why have I never seen it before?" Yuchi Chifan also looked at the chubby black and white creature curiously, and asked the eldest grandson Qingyi beside him.
When Changsun Qingyi pondered for a while, Jiang Chengxiao's voice came over.
"That's an iron rodent."
Hearing this, all the girls turned their attention to Jiang Chengxiao.
He walked up to Yuchi Chifan, put one arm around her waist, and put the other on the fence, and introduced: "The "Shen Yi Jing" records that there are beasts in the south. lacquer, eat iron and drink water, its excrement can be used as a weapon, and its sharpness is as sharp as steel, so it is called gnawing iron."
Dugu Jialuo said thoughtfully: "The concubine has also heard the interesting talk. It is rumored that this beast is the mount of the soldier lord Chi You."
Jiang Chengxiao smiled and said: "There is such a saying."
The iron-gnawing beast is actually a giant panda.
"Fu Lang, why has this concubine never seen this beast before?" Yuchi Chifan asked.
Jiang Chengxiao explained: "This beast usually lives around Bashu Chuanyue. These two iron-gnawing beasts were captured by Pharmacist Li not long ago."
It was a coincidence to say that, after Li Yaoshi defeated Bashu, he happened to meet the Iron Gnawing Beast when he led people into the mountains to suppress the bandits.Pharmacist Li thought it was interesting, so he grabbed two and dedicated them to King Zhao to play games.
However, Jiang Chengxiao has been busy with government affairs and has no time to come here.
Changsun Qingyi asked curiously: "Husband, does it really eat iron?"
"This is an ancient saying, I really don't know very well." Jiang Chengxiao smiled and said: "But I know it likes to eat bamboo the most."
"Bamboo?" Jiang Shirt exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Chengxiao patted his head, "Yes, you can try it."
Hearing this, Jiang Shirt was ready to move.Bai Shi was a little worried that the iron rodent would hurt his son, so he followed Jiang Xie closely.
According to Jiang Chengxiao's attachment, the animal trainer took the bamboo and handed it to Jiang Xie.
The little guy brought the bamboo to the iron gnawing beast's mouth, and the chubby iron gnawing beast was not afraid of life, and grabbed the emerald green bamboo and ate it.
"It really eats bamboo!" Jiang Shirt seemed to see the New World.
He has seen big worms that eat meat, buffaloes that eat grass, and birds that eat insects, but he has never seen creatures that eat bamboo.
The cuteness of the iron-gnawing beast, coupled with its naive attitude of eating bamboo, attracted all the girls to look sideways at it.
"Your Majesty, this beast is so lovable. If you keep calling it the Iron Gnawing Beast, you will be wronged. Why don't you give it a new name?" Changsun Qingyi said with a smile.
"Madam is right." Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a while and said, "This beast has a body like a bear and a face like a civet cat. Why don't we call it a panda."
"That's a good name!" Yuchi Chifan agreed.
"It wants to eat me!" Jiang Shirt suddenly screamed twice, backing away again and again.
After eating the bamboo, the iron gnawing beast climbed up the fence and tore off a small piece of the sleeve of the ginger shirt, which scared him back quickly.
The animal trainer was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly threatened the iron biting beast to stay away from the fence.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty." The two animal trainers quickly knelt down and admitted their mistake.
Jiang Chengxiao waved his hand, "Get up, this beast is precious, you have to take good care of it."
"Thank you, sir." The two animal trainers hurriedly got up and left.
Bai Shi comforted Jiang Xie at the side, and blamed him for being disobedient and getting close to the iron-gnawing beast.
