Chapter 304 Assassin: Why do things happen wherever we go?
"Junior sister, I'm back and I've brought medicine."
Yang Zaiwei walked into the hospital, looked at Jin Zhizhao who was sitting cross-legged, nodded and said: "You look good today, a little red."
Jin Zhizhao's complexion did get better, and he said in a low voice: "I have finally settled down. I have some healing skills. If I can work on my own, I can slowly recover."
Yang Zaiwei picked up the medicine bag in his hand: "I took some medicine from the drug store. They are all good prescriptions for strengthening qi and blood. After you take them, you can also shorten the time."
Jin Zhizhao tapped his chin and asked, "How are Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang?"
Yang Zaiwei said: "They have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. They are hostages and their identities are sensitive. If they commit something this time, they may not be able to get out."
Jin Zhizhao's face darkened: "Is there no chance of rescue?"
Yang Zaiwei frowned: "It's useless to rescue them. Both of them have already confessed, and with the testimony of the doctor and the family members, the Ministry of Rites can't wait to report. I'm afraid they will send envoys to hold Silla accountable."
Jin Zhizhao sighed.
Yang Zaiwei said: "Junior sister, you don't have to feel guilty. This time you have no choice but to do it. You are the princess of Silla, and they are the ministers of Silla. They should be rescued and not involved."
Jin Zhizhao shook his head: "I don't want to see them being dragged down, not entirely out of guilt, but because Silla's loyal people, even if they are superficially loyal, if they all end up in such a miserable end, who will be willing to continue to serve us?
"
Yang Zaiwei moved his mouth but did not tell her another piece of news.
Shi, the commander of the imperial army who violently beat the Silla people, was promoted, put on a scarlet robe, and gave orders outside the slave meeting hall in Beishi.
Such a comparison, fortunately my junior sister doesn’t know...
Jin Zhizhao knew that there was nothing he could do, so he quickly put aside the matter of the two protons and focused on the present: "Senior brother, you will go and see Soga Cangmaru later. I feel that he has been a little unruly these past two days. If you see anything wrong,
I’m going to strike first and take advantage.”
As a professional assassin, Yang Zaiwei is the best at this: "Don't worry, I have also figured out the habits of these dwarves. Killing more will keep them honest for a long time."
True to his word, he put down the medicine bag and walked out.
Jin Zhizhao began to close his eyes and rest his mind, adjust his breathing, calm his mind and energy, and mobilize the energy in his body.
She was extremely talented and could practice the power of victory to a secret level. After this encounter, she also realized a new healing method. She thought that if she was injured by Li Yuanfang in the future, she would never end up in such an embarrassing situation.
What is even more gratifying is that she discovered that there is room for adjustment and improvement in Yum Jin. As Master said, all energy must be innovative and cannot be satisfied with the original state.
While summing up the gains and losses, Jin Zhizhao moved his ears and heard the sound of footsteps.
She immediately opened her eyes, alert.
Because Yang Zaiwei almost makes no sound when walking.
Sure enough, this senior brother walked into the courtyard, followed by a child-like figure.
Soga Kuramaro came to the front, bowed down in fear, and kowtowed deeply, as if he was about to crawl into the dust: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, Princess, I will never dare to be disrespectful to Your Highness in the slightest!"
Jin Zhizhao glanced at the blood stains on Yang Zaiwei's fist and knew that the shock was effective. He raised his chin and said arrogantly: "I'm sorry you don't dare. Tell me, what happened these past two days? Why are you so restless?"
Soga Kuramaro sighed: "The Tang Dynasty's capital lawsuit is about to investigate the slave meeting place, and the chamber of commerce is in big trouble."
Jin Zhizhao's face darkened: "You are slave traders, don't you know how to handle the lawsuit? I have funded a lot, have you swallowed it all yourself?"
Suga Cangmaru said bitterly: "How dare I be greedy for ink myself? I will use it to bribe officials of the Tang Dynasty."
"That Mr. Duan often travels between the two cities, and I am always waiting to pick him up and drop him off. I have purchased his three luxurious mansions, and I have also arranged the expenses for the dozen or so concubines he married..."
"
"Not only Doctor Duan, but also other officials have spent enough money. But now that Doctor Duan is in jail, his subordinates sent messages a few days ago. After the new doctor took office in the past two days, they all cut off contact. I'm afraid something will happen."
to!"
Jin Zhizhao frowned: "You are also a big Japanese born in a noble family, why should you panic when something happens!"
"When the officials first arrived in Luoyang, it was when the various governments needed slaves. They cannot do without you. That doctor Duan was arrested. No matter who takes over, he will only act like a showman."
"If you use more money to satisfy your successor's appetite, it's impossible for him to really close down the slave meeting place."
Soga Kuramaro shook his head: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I originally prepared in this way, but after sending the person in charge to make initial contact with him, I found that the successor was very different from Mr. Duan, and even the elders I had contacted
Tang officials are different, he seems to really have no interest in money..."
Jin Zhizhao sneered: "You are still not familiar with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Tell me, what is the name of that official? I know all the dignitaries above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty. There are some who don't like money, so you have to find another way."
Yang Zaiwei's face changed slightly, but Soga Cangmaru felt hopeful and quickly kowtowed: "I hope your highness the princess can give me some advice. The newly appointed doctor of the imperial court is called Jin Liangtu. Judging from this surname, he might actually be from Silla."
Jin Zhizhao was suddenly startled.
Soga Kuramaro waited, then raised his head cautiously, and saw that the Silla princess's face gradually turned livid, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Yang Zaiwei sighed and kicked Soga Cangmaru into a rolling gourd: "Get out!"
Soga Kuramaro rolled out aggrievedly. Jin Zhizhao's chest was blocked and his whole body was in pain. He ignored his injuries and returned to his old outlook. He said bitterly: "Why did that traitor get promoted? He got promoted so fast!!"
Yang Zaiwei helped her onto the bed: "You'd better heal your wounds and pay attention to those things. If we can control these Japanese people, how can we control who the prince wants to be promoted to?"
Jin Zhizhao gritted his teeth: "It's not the prince, it must be Li Yuanfang! He has ulterior motives, he has ulterior motives!!"
Yang Zaiwei said: "Don't worry about who it is, just recover from your injuries first!"
After feeling resentful, Jin Zhizhao showed concern: "How can we ignore it? If Li Yuanfang is targeting this place, we may be exposed."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What's more, Master's plan requires these alien slaves, this Chamber of Commerce must not allow any mistakes!"
"Brother, take me out tonight. I want to see with my own eyes how Jin Liangtu plans to investigate the slave meeting place!"
…
As night fell, the streets of Luoyang began to be patrolled by Marquis Wu and closed to traffic.
However, the major cities are still lively, especially the North City, which is brightly lit, with traffic jams and huge crowds of people.
However, in the past few nights, a large area has been vacant near the high platform of the Chengyi Chamber of Commerce.
The officials of various governments who were originally going to buy slaves stepped back and looked at the hundreds of officials in the middle who were busy coming and going.
Almost all the officials from all over the capital who came to Luoyang were dispatched. More than 20 officials and more than 100 staff were busy.
One part is responsible for checking the accounts, shouting quotations from time to time for verification, and the other part is checking the slaves in the venue.
Jin Liangtu, who had changed into a scarlet robe, stood in the center, his sharp and cold eyes scanning all directions.
Being stared at by his eyes, both the slave traders and the people involved in the lawsuit felt a little agitated and felt uneasy all over.
Standing next to him was Gong Siguang, who was dressed in rich clothes and wearing a hairpin, teasing the lynx in his arms from time to time.
Whenever the cat annoyed him, it would push it with its paws, and he would burst out laughing: "Look, Mr. Jin, this cat that Li Jiyi sent me flying on the grass is not ferocious at all, it's so smart!"
Jin Liangtu nodded perfunctorily, but saw Gong Siguang teasingly turning to another place: "The price of the Kunlun slave reported over there is wrong!"
Soga Kuramaro was the master of the chamber of commerce behind the scenes, and another slave merchant showed up in front. At this time, he walked over and said with a smile: "Sir, the prices recorded in our venue are absolutely true...
"
Gong Siguang scolded: "Don't you recognize me, Gong Wulang? I may not know the prices in other places, but in Luoyang, no one knows the market prices better than me. Don't play tricks in front of me!"
The slave merchant argued a few words and found that he really knew his business, so he retreated in despair.
Jin Liangtu couldn't help but look at him with admiration. With his constantly striving character, he naturally looked down on the playboys in his heart, but he had to admit that Li Jiyi was really good at employing people, and this Gong Wulang could be of great use.
Not only the price certification, but also the confidants under Jin Liangtu were shuttled among the slaves.
When they saw the Silla maid, they came forward and asked: "What is your name? What kind of bone is it? Where do you live in Silla?"
Then if the answer is even slightly wrong, he will drag the person out viciously.
The slave merchant came forward again when he saw it: "Mr. Sir, these slaves are our private property and are protected by Tang law. You can't arrest them like this!"
Jin Liangtu's face darkened, while Gong Siguang said nonchalantly: "I'll buy it."
He waved his hand and circled: "Don't mention just a few people, even if it's all of them, my Gong family will buy them all!"
Everyone around was stunned.
But Gong Siguang's words are really not nonsense. The Gong family already has a large amount of assets that cannot be withdrawn. There are hidden dangers no matter how they are used, but spending them is the most direct way.
Of course, spending money also depends on skills. At this time, Gong Siguang found a way to get the best of both worlds: "Li Jiyi asked me to do this, and I must do it beautifully!"
"Jin Langzhong, if you feel something is wrong with these slaves you choose, I will buy them all for you even if I sell all my property in Luoyang!"
"When the time comes, these will be our own slaves, and we can legitimately check them!"
Jin Liangtu couldn't help but feel moved, it was so great to work with such a person: "Yumigoro is so heroic!"
The slave merchant retreated dejectedly and looked around, looking for help.
Among the people watching around, there were indeed stewards from various high-level offices, but they waved their hands helplessly.
Not to mention that few people would dare to provoke Li Yuanfang's name. Simply looking at this matter, it is reasonable for people to be willing to pay for it.
In this era, there was no such thing as forced buying and selling. In the past, the aristocratic family members really wanted to pay attention to some slave that they liked, and they just spent money to buy it, and the merchants did not dare to disobey.
That's why each government has to send people here to keep an eye on it, because usually whoever comes first wins, and it's impossible to have a scene where two aristocratic families are red-faced and arguing over the price, while the slave merchant is happily counting money in the back.
The dandy is a cockfighting lackey who doesn't do anything serious. He is not a brainless idiot.
Ever since.
Seeing Gong Siguang and Jin Liangtu cooperating with each other to capture slaves one by one, Jin Zhizhao's expression changed drastically as he observed secretly: "Among those who were taken away, there are some of our people!"
Yang Zaiwei pursed his lips: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to save him!"
Jin Zhizhao said bitterly: "We can't let this traitor continue to search like this. Let's go find Master's people. This is something we have no choice but to do. He won't blame us!"
"That's all!"
Yang Zaiwei sighed deeply: "Why do things happen wherever we go..."
