(Continue to ask for monthly votes, yesterday was awesome, A Cao is here to thank everyone for your support)
I heard that Li Bi, the general of Heng'an Town, is a woman and quite beautiful.
Thinking of this, Wang Qing's expression became quite playful.
The daughter of Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, is all in line regardless of her family background and appearance. There is no news from the main branch. I heard that he is going to lead a caravan out of the fortress, and a letter has arrived at home.
His father wanted him to meet Li Bi, or go directly to Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, to ask Li Bi to be his wife for his eldest brother.
This is really dumbfounding. His eldest brother wants to marry the daughter of a noble family in Guanxi. Does he really think that the Wang family is the king of Taiyuan?
I came up with this idea and I don’t know what to say. My father and eldest brother are both studying, and they go to Jinyang every year to worship their ancestors. After they come back, there is nothing else to talk about. They are all praises for the main branch.
And it's not like he hasn't been to Jinyang before, and he has seen those clan members, who are indeed worthy of being called a well-dressed Chinese clan, but... what is hidden under the humble appearance? He treats the children of the side branches as condescendingly as he treats slaves,
Even if he gets married, he will be given a generous gift.
Only then did he get a light reply. Can his wife's name be added to the family tree? Is this the kind of person they raise while traveling around the world?
Wang Qing has thought about these things countless times, but every time he thinks about this, he feels tight in the chest and short of breath.
While he was thinking a lot, when he came back to his senses, he felt that the carriage gradually stopped.
"What's wrong?" Wang Qing asked impatiently as he lifted the car curtain.
"Proprietor, someone set up a card in front of you. Wang Da has already brought someone over to ask."
Wang Qing frowned, got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft and looked around.
When I saw it clearly, I was confused.
He actually saw the military camp. Judging from the size, there were about one or two hundred people. These soldiers were so poor that they dared to set up roadblocks on the trade road and block the merchants. Aren't they afraid of losing their heads?
You must know that the status of merchants has been getting higher and higher in recent years. There are even rumors that a special merchant house was set up in the Chang'an Palace, where some well-informed merchants gathered to prepare for the emperor's inquiries.
As far as Wang Qing knew, this idea should have come to the emperor when he held a banquet in Zhangye to entertain the king of the Western Regions.
Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, no one dared to set up roadblocks to intercept business travelers on the trade routes. Once this happened, the crime would be serious.
Wang Qing stroked his forehead and touched his chin. The situation in Yunnei County was really bad.
If the soldiers set up a roadblock, no need to ask, they will definitely be skinned, no matter what happens next. You will definitely suffer this immediate loss.
In an instant, Wang Qing saw the situation clearly.
He took a step forward and walked forward. Since he dared to set up roadblocks for no reason, he had nothing to worry about. I'm afraid Wang's commercial flag was not easy to use. He was afraid that his subordinates would wait for him, so he held the name of Wang to protect himself and talked nonsense.
So I walked faster and faster, and went directly to the front.
Sure enough, Wang Da and several bodyguards were showing off their power there.
"You are so brave. Do you know whose property this is? Let me tell you that this is Taiyuan..."
"Shut up." Wang Qing shouted urgently from a distance.
When he came closer, he drove away a group of escorts. He looked up and down at the situation on the other side.
Four or five people were all wearing Sui army uniforms. Wang Qing felt even more nervous when he saw clearly that the leader turned out to be a brigade commander.
Seeing it more clearly, Wang Qing's heart felt cold again.
These soldiers just relied on the horses and fences, and no one came up to talk to them.
Apart from a hint of contempt, what was revealed in his eyes was only indifference.
Wang Da was still shouting in his ear, "Erlang, they actually want to collect half of the goods from us, otherwise they won't let us pass. They are too courageous..."
Wang Qing, whose heart was getting colder, waved his hand and slapped him in the face. This slap was really hard. The slap hit Wang Qing next to him so much that he almost fell to the ground.
Wang Qing then said sternly: "You have been traveling with me all over the country for so long, don't you even wink at me?"
Before Wang Da could recover, Wang Qing kicked him again, "Go back to Jinyang, you're useless."
This is obviously for others to see. They have set up the military camp here generously, so they are not afraid that you will cause trouble.
Rong Dalang is dead, and Wang Qing doesn't want to be like him, making a mess here in Yunnei, and taking action over disagreements. He, a member of the Wang family, doesn't have one more head than others.
Of course, it is necessary to make use of the topic. Wang Da is his clan brother. Speaking of it, he is actually a relative who is beyond reach, but his roots are in Taiyuan.
This clan brother is not ignorant of everything, and he is quite capable in doing things, but he was brought back from Jinyang by his father. No need to ask, he was sent by the Wang family of Jinyang. This is a kind of "
"Honor", which shows that the caravan formed by Wang Qing is very valuable and has achieved outstanding results. Otherwise, it would not be able to gain the attention of the main branch of Jinyang.
Then the problem arises, and all kinds of ambiguities in the big family begin to take place.
Wang Qing's father thought highly of Wang Da, so naturally, Wang Da became very close to Wang Qing's eldest brother. The eldest brother was devoted to studying, but the family could not lack the wealth brought by this caravan.
As a result, Wang Da became the natural agent of Brother Wang Qing to supervise his younger brother.
The brothers were fighting over the property created by the younger brother. Although his father could do it, he never allowed Wang Qing to start his own business. It was obviously to help the eldest son more.
The family was quarreling, but it was Wang Da, an outsider, who benefited.
The bodyguards of the caravan were all won over by Wang Da, and then they began to pursue Wang Qing's sister. This was the rhythm of seizing property. However, Wang Qing's father and eldest brother, after reading so many books, just couldn't
Understand this truth.,
He treated Wang Dabi more intimately than he treated his son and brother.
When he came out this time, Wang Qing had actually made up his mind to stay in Yunneicheng and never go back. It can be said that Rong Dalang died just in time, otherwise he would not have been able to intervene.
As for Wang's reputation, let it go to hell.
Wang Da was beaten several times and wanted to fight with Wang Qing, but in the end he left bitterly. When Wang Qing became angry, he still didn't dare to provoke him.
When he turned around, Wang Qing smiled as if his face had changed.
Ignoring the joking expressions of these military men, Wang Qing cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to invite you. I'm Wang Qing. I've just offended many of my subordinates. I hope you won't take offense."
The leading brigade commander chuckled, he was doing well, so he didn't care about himself here. He finally spoke again, waved his hand and said: "We are also acting under orders. Regardless of whether the Wang family is not Wang family, if you want to go, just go
You have to pay taxes, it’s not much, and you’ll draw one out of every two, so you don’t need to tell me more, we’ve decided on it, there’s no point in telling us.”
"Seeing that you are successful, let me just say one more thing. Don't try to take a detour or force your way in. Without the documents we have approved, once you get past this place, if you are caught, it will be the same as a Turkic conspiracy, and you will be killed without mercy."
"What's going on, should you turn around and go back, or should you pay the tax and go forward? Make up your mind quickly. This road doesn't belong to you. If you occupy it, how can others use it?"
Wang Qing took a deep breath after hearing this, "You still want others to pass by? If you are so ruthless, who can move forward?"
Wang Qing thought about it for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "I paid the tax, plus an additional 10%. I wonder if you can allow me to meet General Li of Heng'an Town in person?"
The brigade commander turned around and glanced at his companions, and immediately became happy, "Let Shengjun know that there really are such people. Shengjun said that most of these people are people with ulterior motives. Haha, you can turn around now if you want."
If it doesn’t work out, we can only take a trip to Heng’an Town with us.”
Even though Wang Qing had traveled to many places and encountered many dangerous things, he was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
The man from Heng'an Town who joined the army was quite smart, but this inexplicable thought was the first to appear in Wang Qing's mind.
But then, I realized that I had done something stupid and it was worse than Wang Da.
The horn sounded, and not long after, a battalion captain led his soldiers out on horseback, and without saying a word, surrounded the caravan.
Twenty or thirty people escorted a caravan of hundreds of people toward Heng'an Town.
Wang Qing has been to Heng'an Town at the foot of Baishan Mountain more than once, but this time it was the most special one, as he was escorted here.
Once Wang's name was no longer useful, Wang's caravan would be no different from ordinary merchants. A few guards tried to show off, but Wang Qing stopped them.
You broke out to report the news, and where did you leave those of us who stayed behind? It was extremely stupid.
Baishan Mountain Worship looks like that, neither high nor short, but it always carries a mysterious and ancient aura.
As for Heng'an Town, you can tell at a glance that it is much bigger, with new people and a new atmosphere, and there is nothing strange about it.
In fact, there are restaurants, brothels and brothels in Heng'an Town, but I wonder if things will change after a woman becomes the head of the family, Wang Qing thought rather maliciously.
Traveling all over the country, Wang Qing developed a thick skin and a clever mouth, which are essential skills for businessmen and are very useful. Along the way, Wang Qing started talking to the Sui soldiers next to him.
Nowadays, there are actually two people in charge of Heng'an Town. One is naturally Heng'an Town General Li Bi, and the other is the little-known Li Canjun.
Of course, Wang Qing had also heard of the name Li Po. It was this man who led people into Yunnei City and killed Rong Dalang.
He was a native of Fufeng, Guanxi, and a disciple of Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County. No matter how many people there are, they have never been heard of.
It was still a little hasty, but it also showed the Wang family's background.
This man made Wang Qing feel a faint sense of danger, because he felt the prestige of this man in Heng'an Town from these Sui soldiers.
Coupled with the brigade commander's previous words, a somewhat vague image had appeared in Wang Qing's mind.
The descendants of the Guanxi clan are brave and good at fighting, but they also have a palace, and they must be extremely courageous...
However, when he actually saw Li Po, he was severely surprised.
