Chapter 153 Transactions(1/2)
Xu Xian never expected that Zhao Kuangyi would tip him off. This guy was either addicted to being a gangster, or he was really afraid of him.
It was quite reasonable to be kicked off the boat after something like that happened, and Xu Xian didn't feel angry at all.
"You should go back to Tokyo now and tell Ting Yi that I will not be angry with him for this." Xu Xian casually took out two ingots of silver and slapped them on the table. "This is a reward for you. Keep it for your traveling expenses."
Shi San cupped his hands and replied: "I still have a lot of money left by Alang before I came here, so I don't want the reward from your father-in-law."
"Haha..." Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh and said: "That fellow Tingyi is lucky to have such a loyal and loyal confidant. I have already given it to you and then I will take it back and tell me where to put my face."
"For the sake of your Majesty's face, I have no choice but to accept it!" Shi Sanshang took the silver and said, "I will give you more rewards from your Majesty!"
Xu Xian looked Shi San up and down, "You look familiar and your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?"
"I saw...at Liuhe Bay!"
"Oh, I remember that time. Is Xiaocan okay? She is Tingyi's second wife."
Shi San was slightly startled and immediately replied: "She has food and clothing, so she is naturally very good."
"That's not what I'm asking. Have you ever seen my wife and children?"
"I've seen her before. She often goes back to the Zhao Mansion to quarrel with the old lady."
Xu Xian nodded and said: "If she is interested in quarreling, it means she is in a good mood. You can rest here for one night and then go back to Tokyo. Xu Lang, please arrange for this little brother to go to the post house to rest."
Xu Lang sent the messenger away, and when he came back there was another person by his side. Xu Xian was startled when he saw the appearance of the person who came, "Shopkeeper Qian, why are you like this?"
One of the few wealthy businessmen in Youzhou City who had millions of dollars, was now dressed in a beggar's attire, and Xu Xian almost didn't recognize him.
When Qian Wanwan saw Xu Xian, he immediately grabbed his head and said, "Please make the decision for the villain!"
Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You are a citizen of the Liao Kingdom, and I am an official of the Zhou Dynasty. How can I make the decision for you?"
"If your Majesty doesn't make the decision for the villain, I'm afraid the lives of the villain's whole family will be in danger."
"You always have to speak clearly. Xu Lang helped shopkeeper Qian up and served him a bowl of tea!"
Shopkeeper Qian brought the tea but did not drink it. He cried and said: "On the grassland before, your lord asked the villain to take the slave away halfway and ended the matter smoothly. It was all because of the villain's stupidity that he was scammed away by the slave. I originally thought that the villain was stupid.
This ends here. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the fellow led the guards left behind in Nanjing to find the villain's home, arresting people and ransacking the house. The villain hid in Tibet and finally escaped. Please see that the villain has contributed to the army.
For my own sake, I’ll help the villain a little bit.”
"Is that man so servile? Sure enough, I didn't make a mistake? I just wish I was soft-hearted and didn't kill him on the spot." Xu Xian rubbed his chin and said in deep thought, "How about this? I'll send someone to accompany you back to Youzhou.
Meet Xiao Siwen."
The Khitan cavalry were so brave, but they suffered a big loss at the hands of the Zhou army. Even though Emperor Sleeping King was usually careless, he was furious and scolded Brother Yeluxiu and Xiao Siwen bloody, but King Sleeping did not look for them.
He planned to return to the field, as the war started in earnest and would affect his sleep quality.
Brother Yeluxiu and Xiao Siwen became the trash of the Khitan upper class and the shame of Liao Dynasty. Xiao Siwen lost face and money. Thinking of the glory of his ancestors, he felt sad and angry.
Hearing from Yan Yan's new long-term attendant, Xu Xian had a secret operation in Youzhou? Regardless of whether it was true or not, he immediately sent people to search for you in Youzhou. When he found out that he was a wealthy businessman, he ransacked his house without saying a word. After gaining countless wealth, he felt that
The evil fire was finally suppressed.
As the local emperor of Youzhou, Xiao Siwen's life of pampering was no worse than that of the sleeping king who went to Beijing. Although it was almost the beginning of autumn, the afternoon heat was still unbearable, so he handled some important official business in the yamen and returned to the mansion.
"Go and prepare a few ice basins for so-and-so and put them in so-and-so's study, and then ask Lady Yu to bring the piano and come over to accompany me!" Xiao Siwen ordered the servant and went to the study. He had just passed the Moon Gate and didn't know where to shoot.
An arrow came and hit Xiao Siwen's chest.
Fortunately, it was just a small arrow with no arrowhead. Although it could not break the clothes and flesh, it was still very painful. Xiao Siwen bared his teeth and scolded: "Yanyan, my son, you hate your father forever.
"
Xiao Yanyan ran over quickly, her face was red, her hair on her forehead was sticky with sweat, and she said apologetically: "My child accidentally hurt my father. Please punish me."
Seeing that her daughter was so well-behaved, Xiao Siwen immediately lost half of her anger. She reached out and brushed the hair on Xiao Yanyan's forehead, "The weather is too hot, so my son won't practice archery."
"No, I have vowed to practice horse riding and archery hard. Sooner or later, I will lead my troops south to capture Tokyo and capture Xu Xian alive. Not only will I get my little pony back, but I will also take back my father's money and let him give his mother every day.
Write poetry and lyrics.”
"That would be too advantageous for him!" Xiao Siwen touched her daughter's shoulder, "It's good that my son has this determination, but I have countless Khitan men, and it's not your little girl's turn to go into battle."
"Why not! Isn't Queen Chunqin a daughter?"
Empress Chunqin refers to Yelu Baoji’s wife Shuluping. This woman was good at fighting and maneuvering, and her character was decisive and ruthless. In order to help Yelu Baoji ascend the throne and become emperor, she directed scenes of bloody dramas on the grassland.
.
The most amazing thing is that she cut off her wrists and was buried. After Yelu Abaoji died, Shuluping asked his ministers to be buried close to him. Some officials said that the person closest to Yelu Abaoji was Shuluping, so she was the one to be buried.
First.
Unexpectedly, this woman immediately took out a golden knife, cut off one of her hands and put it into her husband's coffin. From then on, everyone on the grassland was afraid of her like a snake or a scorpion. The Liao Kingdom was able to become as powerful as it is today.
Women are so strong, the prosperity of the Liao Kingdom is no accident.
"There is nothing we can do about Empress Chunqin leading the army in battle. Women don't have to work so hard if they want to be powerful. My son is pretty and will be a beauty when he grows up. It may not be impossible to become a queen!"
"The child has to rely on his own ability!" Xiao Yanyan waved the small bow in her hand, "Father often said that he is good at riding and shooting. Come and teach the child!"
She pulled Xiao Siwen to the target and handed over her small bow, "Sun Zhonggou, come here quickly with the arrows!"
Sun Zhonggou immediately took an arrow and put it in Xiao Siwen's hand. Xiao Siwen smiled and pulled the small bow in his hand, and then said seriously: "When shooting, you must be steady with your hands and feet, aim at the target, adjust your breathing, and then let go..."
Seeing that the arrow that flew out missed the target perfectly, Xiao Siwen touched his nose awkwardly, "No wonder my son can't shoot accurately. It turns out that this set of bows and arrows is not good. Where did you get it from?"
"Sun Zhonggou made it for the child!"
"You bitch, even if my son is young, I can't fool her with this kind of thing!" Xiao Siwen grasped the small bow in his hand and broke it into two pieces, "This broken bow is not worthy of my son, you go and rest.
As a father, I will find a craftsman to tailor one for you tomorrow."
Xiao Yanyan said happily: "Thank you very much, father. The child will go back to rest."
She had just taken two steps when a guard came over in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, there are two people coming outside the palace gate. They say they were sent by Xu Xian, the commander of Bazhou in Zhou Dynasty!"
Xiao Yanyan immediately turned around and asked the guard with a fierce face, "Who did you say sent someone just now?"
The guard replied again: "It was Xu Xian who was deployed by the Bazhou capital of Zhou Dynasty!"
Xiao Yanyan turned her head to look at Xiao Siwen, "Father, what should I do?"
Xiao Siwen smiled and said: "If you want to kill or scrape, you have to ask questions before sending the person to my study."
Xiao Yanyan said: "I'll go too!"
The father and daughter entered the study to drink tea. Not long after, two tied-up people were escorted over. Xiao Siwen slapped the table and asked, "Who is here?"
"Xiao Ke is the crown prince of Zhou Guo Xu Linggong's staff!"
"The villain is a businessman from Youzhou with millions of dollars!"
Xiao Siwen pointed at Qian Wanwan and asked: "Is that the merchant whose house was confiscated by someone just now? Someone was not sure that you were a spy of the Zhou Kingdom at first, but now it seems that you copied the right thing and took the two of them out and beheaded them."
."
"Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life! This villain is really not a spy. He is just doing some business in partnership with Xu Linggong of Zhou State. Please tell me about this."
Zhang Guanze said: "If Lieutenant Xiao kills us, I'm afraid he will regret it too much!"
Xiao Siwen waved his hand and the guards immediately retreated, "How can you repent? Does Xu Xian still dare to raise troops to attack?"
"Exactly!"
"Haha..." Xiao Siwen laughed, "I have been asking for it. The few men and horses in Bazhou are not enough to fill the moat of Youzhou. When I take Xu Xian's head and present it to His Majesty, I will avenge my previous shame!"
Zhang Guanxiao asked: "What if we add 10,000 sky-shaking thunders?"
As if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, the expression on Xiao Siwen's face condensed, but he said without giving up: "If he has the courage, just come, even if he invites heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, he will dare to fight with him!
"
"Xiao Ke admires the Taiwei's courage. Xu Linggong said that the last time we fought, Duocheng Taiwei gave way to him, and he just asked him to take advantage of it. He would never dare to stroke the Taiwei's beard easily again!"
"He knows what's going on!" Xiao Siwen's expression immediately softened, and he asked someone to untie the two of them, and asked, "What's the purpose of Xu Xian sending you here?"
Zhang Guan pointed to Qian Wanwan beside him, "This shopkeeper Qian has some business dealings with Xu Linggong. I heard that Linggong ransacked his house, and I hope that Linggong can return his property and family members to him."
Xiao Siwen has a rich family and is not the kind of greedy person, but there is no reason to spit out what he eats, let alone such a big piece of fat.
"Why should I ask you to return the stolen goods to him?"
"Ling Gong said that if the shopkeeper Qian has no capital, he will not be able to do business with Xu Ling Gong. If Xu Ling Gong has no business, he will not be able to pay rewards to his soldiers. If he does not come to reward his soldiers, he is afraid that those arrogant and powerful generals will come with thunder.
Youzhou is robbing you!"
Before Xiao Siwen could speak, Xiao Yanyan had already spoken, "Is Xu Xian threatening my father?"
"No, Xu Linggong just doesn't want to have any unnecessary disputes with the Taiwei, which will lead to the war between the two countries. On the contrary, Xu Linggong said that he is willing to make peace with the Taiwei and make money!"
Xiao Siwen frowned and asked, "Friendliness brings wealth? What do you mean?"
"Xu Linggong said he was willing to share a share of the pie with the Taiwei?"
"Xu Xian wants to do business with someone?" Seeing Zhang Guan nodding in affirmation, Xiao Siwen laughed loudly, "We Khitan people have always done business on the edge of the knife. This kind of business you are talking about is incomprehensible."
"Actually, Lieutenant Commander, there is no need to worry at all. Everything can be taken care of by shopkeeper Qian."
Shopkeeper Qian immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, just leave it to the villain. Your Majesty just needs to collect the money!"
