Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 548 Turn Shazhou over

  Jia Ping'an felt that it took three months less to travel from Chang'an to Kucha.

   But Xu Jingzong went crazy.

   "Back then, Guo Xiaoke conquered Yanqi and arrived in Chang'an in January. How can I lag behind?"

  Yanqi is just east of Kucha, closer to Chang'an.

  But... that's good news!

   Changing horses constantly along the way, the speed can be called lightning fast.

   And Lao Xu brought the officials of the Ministry of Rites this time, and Jia Pingan brought 600 horses.

   "Drive!"

   After running for half a month, the weather is getting colder and colder.

   When he got to the Hexi Corridor, Old Xu couldn't bear it anymore.

   "Rest, rest, rest, rest!"

   His face was full of small cracks from the spring breeze, and his voice was smoky when he spoke.

   "Shazhou is ahead!"

  Jia Pingan looked up, thinking of Dunhuang in later generations.

  But Shazhou at this moment is not what it looks like in later generations.

  The caravan is clearing the customs, and there are officials checking the goods, and then stamping and signing.

   "Thank you, sir."

  The high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu merchant skillfully crossed his hands to salute, and then thanked the officials in pretty good Tang dialect.

  The official nodded, "Next!"

  His voice is hoarse, the skin on his face is rough, and there is no trace of gentleness.

   Follow-up caravans continue to come out.

  Someone shouted from the top of the city: "More than a hundred riders are coming!"

  The officials below immediately shouted: "Hurry up and disperse them, get out of the way."

  The little official behind him smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's a caravan."

   "Caravans are big carts, idiots!"

The official kicked the little official, "I don't blame you when you just came here, but you will still be like this two months later, and the prime minister behind you will have to kick you out. Remember, this is Shazhou in the Tang Dynasty , don't embarrass Datang!"

  The little official quickly responded, and then looked on tiptoe.

   "It's the mission!"

  The sergeants began to drive the caravan.

   "Get over the edge, hurry up!"

  The caravan obediently stepped aside, looking ahead curiously.

   More than a hundred riders came slowly, and dismounted after approaching.

  The official went up to meet him and cupped his hands, "Han Xude, the official Shazhou judiciary and military officer, have met..."

   "Old man Xu Jingzong."

  Old Xu looked exhausted, Han Xude quickly avoided, "I met Xu Shangshu."

  The Minister of Rites actually came to Shazhou, what is he doing?

   Behind are the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the people in the caravan looked at them in fear.

   "This is Datang!"

   A Baiqi casually said.

   Jia Pingan nodded.

  The veil on his face was still in place.

  When everyone entered Shazhou, Governor Moqian immediately came to welcome them.

  Mo Qian's face was narrow and long, looking a little gloomy, and he couldn't feel comfortable smiling, "I've seen Xu Shangshu, dare to ask Xu Shangshu, but did you come here for Qiuci?"

  Xu Jingzong nodded, "Any news?"

"Those low dog slaves!" Mo Qian said disdainfully: "The wife of King Bushibi of Kucha, Ashina, had an affair with the Prime Minister Nali. Many people in the capital knew about it, and said it as a joke. Bushibi wanted to dissuade it. , but Ashina insisted on going her own way... Bah!"

Well!

  King Kucha's wife had an affair with the prime minister, and there was no way to stop it...

  Is that okay too?

   Jia Ping'an looked confused.

  Xu Jingzong...Jia Pingan swears that he saw passion in Lao Xu's eyes.

  Old Xu has gonessip.

   "You can't dissuade him?" Xu Jingzong wondered, "Shouldn't it be a one-shot kill?"

   Sure enough, he was born in Wagang, and he kills people at every turn.

  Mo Qian praised: "Xu Shangshu has a good opinion, if Datang encounters such a thing, he will definitely kill him with a single knife, and then destroy the whole Nali family."

   "Bu Shibi couldn't stop him, so he didn't dare to make a move. He was afraid that he would be a trick of the mouse, or that he would be powerless."

  Xu Jingzong is certainly not a fool, Mo Qian nodded, "This is the same view here, Xu Shangshu, there are a lot of people in Shazhou recently, be careful, it is best to leave as soon as possible."

"What's the meaning?"

   Xu Jingzong stopped.

  Mo Qian said seriously: "This place is very troublesome. There are people from the Western Regions and Turkic people. They are ambitious and want to make Shazhou mess up."

  Behind Shazhou is Ganzhou. The Hexi Corridor extends from the Central Plains all the way and is also an important node of the Silk Road. Once messed up, the impact is far-reaching.

  The so-called Hexi Corridor is the only way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. Because it is narrow, it is called the corridor.

   "Shazhou is prosperous, if Xu Shangshu has time, he can go to the market."

   Mo Qian's last suggestion moved Xu Jingzong's heart, but after taking a bath, he immediately fell asleep and fell unconscious.

   "Grand Xu!"

  Jia Pingan wants to take Lao Xu, an old driver, to the market.

  Old Xu still snored.

   "Mr. Xu, is there a beautiful woman?"

   Xu Jingzong's snoring stopped for a while, his beard trembled a few times, and the snoring resumed.

   That's all, Lao Xu seems to be exhausted.

   Jia Ping'an went out for a stroll.

  I'm Marquis Wuyang, so naturally I can't openly go to that... I need someone to invite me.

   Dedicated, dedicated, why don't you come?

   "Brother!"

  Li Jingye was so excited that he could stay up for three days and three nights, came out alive and kicked, and even changed into new clothes in a showy manner, "Let's go see Hu Nu!"

   “Think about this all day!”

   Jia Ping'an said with a straight face, "I won't allow it next time."

   "Yes!" Li Jingye praised: "Brother is just and awe-inspiring."

  The two brought money and went to the market immediately.

  It is already afternoon, the market has been open for a while, and there is a lot of people inside.

  “They said that Shazhou has a small population, but there are many foreigners.”

   It is not many, but there are tens of thousands of people.

   And there are a lot of people in the city.

   This is the characteristic of a trade city. Correspondingly, Datang's population is more scattered outside the cities, which is the characteristic of farming countries, and most of them are farmers.

  As soon as he entered the market, Li Jingye asked in surprise, "Why are there so many foreigners?"

  People from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes, as well as Turkic people, big cannibals, people from the Tang Dynasty...even saw some foreigners in strange clothes.

  The shops here are not much worse than the business in Chang'an City, and there are many foreign vassals.

   "Look, brother, those are goods from the Western Regions!"

"what is that?"

   "Can I have a guide?"

  A woman came over. She was dressed in clothes from the Western Regions, with a high nose and deep eyes, but fair skin.

   "Your Tang dialect is good."

  Jia Pingan praised her, and Li Jingye looked at her butt, feeling a little regretful, "It's not too big or too small."

  For him, the **** is the first choice to measure a woman's beauty.

Woman Fushen, "My name is Lady Song. There are many goods here, but those merchants are very cunning. They will deceive you with worthless things, saying they are priceless treasures. There are no goods here that I don't know. My Customers will never suffer, this is my guarantee."

   "Is there anyone named Song in Shule?" Li Jingye was a little surprised.

Mrs. Song smiled slightly, and the white teeth made Jia Pingan think of calcium, "I want to live here, and I must take the name of Tang. But Song, they say this character is easy to write, easy to remember, and pleasant to hear. "

   This is a business intermediary, making a living in this mixed market.

   "What payment do you want?"

   Jia Ping'an was half a head taller than Mrs. Song, but when she lowered her head, Mrs. Song suddenly missed the bottom line.

   Is it possible to attract business by wearing less clothes?

   "Guest, I need a hundred dollars a day, or to make a business, give me 10% and half of the money."

  Half achievement of 10% is an agency fee of 0.5%, which is not low.

   "One hundred dollars."

   Jia Ping'an doesn't care.

   "What do customers want to buy when they come to the market?"

   Lady Song asked.

   "I want to find a place to eat, and then...see where the beard girls dance the best."

  Li Jingye couldn't wait.

  Ms. Song covered her mouth and smiled, "There are beard girls dancing in the wine shop, and there is also food. I remember the best one is in front, it is very big."

   Immediately, the three of them entered a restaurant.

  The wine shop is not small, and there are about 50 people sitting there at the moment.

   There is a stage in the middle, two bearded women wearing...

   "Dedicated, my eyeballs fell out."

  Li Jingye's eyes widened, "They actually wear so little?"

  The two beard girls were dressed too coolly, with white thighs, a pair of short short pants, and their navels were exposed, and there was really a small bell around them.

   "This ass, it's really good to shake it!"

  As soon as he sat down, Li Jingye was immersed in art.

   Diagonally opposite sat several men, the middle one was from the Western Regions, with thin cheeks, deep sunken eyes, and a thin, tall nose.

  He glanced at Jia Pingan, and a man behind him said in a low voice: "Kangli, he is a member of the Datang Mission, and he is very close to Xu Jingzong."

  The people from the Western Regions smiled very kindly, "Did such a young nobleman go to the Western Regions to make meritorious service? I think we can get close to him."

   "Kangli, our purpose here is to inquire about the news. If the Great Tang army comes, we should hurry to report...instead of entangled with these people."

   "Idiot!" Kang Li scolded in a low voice: "There is going to be chaos in Kucha, but Datang sent Xu Jingzong. Once Xu Jingzong arrives, do you think they will dare to start trouble?"

   "Hard to say!"

   "So, we need to take a look."

While looking at Jia Pingan, Kang Li said in a low voice, "Tell them to keep an eye on this young man, later..." He smiled, "I'm always so kind, please return his soul to Chang'an .”

  The man behind laughed and said, "The body was left in Shazhou."

   "That's a good idea."

  Jia Pingan noticed the gaze, but as the commander of Baiqi, he remained calm and quietly observed this group of people.

   "The dancers are women from the Kang Kingdom!"

   Lady Song went to ask for food and wine, and Ji sat beside Jia Ping'an. She is wearing a long skirt, this time...

   Jia Ping'an was speechless.

  The two bearded girls danced, their bodies swaying to the rhythm of the music, and the small bells around their waists kept making crisp sounds.

  Jia Ping'an suddenly asked: "Do you know those people on the opposite side?"

  Ms. Song sat on the side, just facing Kang Li and the others. She smiled and said, "It's Kang Li and the others. They are doing business in Shazhou, and they said they made a lot of money."

   "A businessman?"

  Jia Pingan relaxed his vigilance.

   Enjoying singing and dancing, drinking wine, life is so pleasant.

   Later, Jia Pingan patted Li Jingye, who was fascinated, and said, "Let's go."

  Li Jingye reluctantly said: "Brother, there should be Hu Xuanwu!"

   "It's just going around in circles, what's so interesting?"

  In fact, many dances are passed from you to me, and finally disappeared in the local area, but they are popular thousands or tens of thousands of miles away.

   Jia Pingan got up and said to Mrs. Song, "Thank you for your company."

   Li Jingye brought a huge wallet, and Jia Pingan got two strings of money out, "If there is a destiny, we should meet again."

   Lady Song took the money, blessed herself, and said happily: "The guest is really generous."

  How did it sound like a good word...

   Jia Pingan smiled.

  Out of the wine shop, my mind suddenly cleared up.

  There are more and more people in the market.

   There was a fight behind, Jia Ping turned around and took a look.

  He saw the knife light.

   Clang!

   Draw the knife!

  The horizontal knife waved.

  A Turkic man rushed over brandishing a dagger.

   Lady Song was exclaiming, her two big eyes widened.

  Boom!

  The Turk fell to the ground and twitched, with a deep cut on his neck.

  The spurt of blood made Jia Pingan think of the sound of a water pipe leaking.

  He looked up, but there was not a single suspect in sight.

  The city order is here.

   "Hundred Riders Jia Ping An."

  Jia Pingan verified his identity, and immediately the market was in chaos.

   "Check identity!"

  The sergeants entered the market, and everyone had to be identified.

"catch him!"

  A man ran wildly.

   "Stop!"

  A team is drawing their swords and shouting.

  The man ran past a store, panting and turned sideways.

The   team is coldly saying: "Shoot him!"

  The bowstring sounded, and the man fell down, still trembling with an arrow stuck in his back.

  Two sergeants went over, stripped the man naked, turned around and said, "Not in the army."

  Xu Jingzong came, roaring with two eyeballs, "Catch those thieves, hang them outside the gate of the market, let those people see the result of angering Datang, can you?"

  Inspector Mo Qian had a gloomy face, "This officer will do his best."

  The sergeants were kicked by him and rushed to various shops, the merchants and fellows were all driven out, and a group of bearded women in disheveled clothes also came out, clutching their chests, and smiling at the sergeants.

   No one is laughing.

  Jia Pingan followed with Baiqi, and he needed to judge the motive for this attack.

   "We have just arrived here, that is to say, there is no possibility of feud. And I don't know anyone in the restaurant today, so I thought they were targeting us."

  Xu Jingzong scolded: "Why don't you bring more people when you come out?"

  Jia Pingan did not regret it, "There is dedication."

  Li Jingye patted his chest, "I had already drawn my sword at that time, but I just saw that my brother wanted to kill someone, so I let him do it."

   Someone shouted in the front right: "There are thieves!"

  Boom!

  Two sergeants kicked open the door of the store, and then a man rushed out with a knife.

   With a block, the man's body suddenly jumped up.

   "It's a good hand!"

   Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes, "Dedicated!"

  Li Jingye drew his sword and rushed over.

   The front of the two sergeants was cut open with a knife, and then they rushed over. The second sergeant was already in danger.

  The sergeant rushed to help in a hurry, and just approached, the man suddenly turned around and attacked from the side with a knife.

  The angle of the knife was cunning, the sergeant was hit by the knife, and rushed over staggeringly.

  The man rushed over to make up the knife.

  Another sergeant rushed over and was stabbed in the chest and abdomen. The man's left arm was broken with a knife, and then he hugged his waist.

  The man roared, elbowed his right hand, and beat the sergeant's back heavily.

  Boom!

  Jia Pingan still heard this voice even though he was a certain distance away.

  The sergeant's body trembled suddenly, but he still didn't let go.

   "Kill him!"

   Jia Ping'an's eyes were about to burst.

  The man elbowed again.

  Boom!

  The sergeant's legs are already weak, but his hands are still not loose.

  The man roared, turned his waist, turned the sergeant up, and kicked him away.

  Boom!

  The sergeant landed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

   "I call your mother!"

  Jia Ping'an's eyes were red, "Dedicate yourself to work!"

   Li Jingye rushed over quickly, the man turned around, swung his knife, and glanced at Jia Pingan at the same time.

  clang!

  He only felt a huge force coming, and then the tiger's mouth was released, and the long knife flew out.

   Then a fist flew.

  Boom!

  The man was punched in the shoulder, as if hit by a tank, and flew out.

   "Hold him!"

  Jia Pingan ran to the sergeant, knelt down and shouted, "I've found a doctor!"

  The sergeant's eyes were dim, and his hands were still clasped.

  His body was shaking.

  Lang Zhongfei seemed to come too, kneeling on the ground to examine carefully.

   "Pounded in the back and kicked in the stomach."

  The doctor checked it, shook his head, "It hurts the internal organs."

   "Resuscitate him."

   Jia Pingan said coldly: "Twenty pennies."

  The doctor's eyes were shining, "I have good medicine at home, which is hard to buy."

   Jia Pingan scolded: "Then go get it, I'll buy it!"

  The doctor worried about being cheated, "Who are you?"

   "Jia Pingan!"

  In the crowd, Conley asked in a low voice, "Do you know this person?"

  Someone behind him said: "This man is Marquis Wuyang of the Tang Dynasty, and he is said to be the commander of Baiqi."

   "Baiqi, what are you doing?"

   "It seems to be protecting the emperor."

  There was more contempt in Conley's eyes, "Watchdog?"

   "It's a pity for our people."

   "Don't worry, he won't say anything."

  Conley disappeared into the market with people.

  Jia Ping'an returned to the station.

   "Peng Weiwei!"

"coming."

  Peng Weiwei came in, "Oh..."

  Jia Pingan said with a cold face, "Pry open his mouth, even if you want to sleep with Bao Dong in the future, I will help you hold him down. You can't pry it open..."

  Peng Weiwei glanced at Bao Dong, "Don't worry."

   Bao Dong has goosebumps all over his body.

   "Marquis of Wuyang!"

   Bao Dong's face was pale.

   Jia Ping'an said flatly: "It's considered a bodily charity."

   Bao Dong glanced at Lei Hong, "Lei Hong is more suitable."

   Lei Hong tugged at his beard, "Look."

"ah…"

   There were screams from inside.

   Followed by Peng Weiwei's voice, "Oh...I don't like men."

   Bao Dongru has received an amnesty.

   Jia Pingan went out to have a look.

  Xu Jingzong and Mo Qianqian were talking.

   "Those people probably want to harass us, but this proves that there is a big problem in Kucha!" Xu Jingzong said coldly: "There is a problem in Shazhou, and it needs to be cleaned up."

  Mo Qian nodded, "The next official will be ruthless when he turns around."

   There was a commotion outside.

   "He said he was looking for Marquis Wuyang."

   When Jia Pingan went out, he saw a woman kneeling outside, "Thank you Marquis Wuyang."

  A sergeant beside him said, "It's that brother's wife."

   "Saved?"

   Jia Pingan asked happily.

  The woman shook her head. Although she shed tears, she did not choke up. "Thank you Marquis Wuyang. If it weren't for the magic medicine, my husband would not be able to leave the last words for my slave. Marquis Wuyang, Lord and Marquis."

   Jia Pingan stood there blankly.

   Xu Jingzong came out, "Why is it sentimental?"

   "That brother is brave enough to save his comrades."

  The doctor came, and Jia Pingan said: "Although you didn't save the life, you did your best. Baodong will give him money."

The doctor saluted the woman, "Is Wuyang Hou going to hit me in the face? I later found out that brother died for the sake of robes. I am also from the Tang Dynasty. Don't say it is a good medicine that is not easy to buy. My blood is used as an introduction, if I frown, I am not a man of Tang Dynasty!"

  He knelt down and kowtowed to the woman, "I am incompetent. I couldn't save such a good man. I am ashamed to be a doctor."

  He slapped himself twice, his cheeks were swollen.

  Jia Pingan took a deep breath, "Tell Peng Weiwei, even if you drag out that person's intestines, you have to ask for a confession. Even if you turn Shazhou upside down, I will... kill them!"
