As expected of a favorite minister of Kangxi, he was able to assess situations much faster than ordinary people. Over there, Eunuch Chen was still stunned, but here Gao Shiqi had already hurried to the door of Zhao Qiang's house and held his hands in front of everyone with great courtesy.
Thoughtful, and with a guilty look on his face, he seemed to feel uneasy about his subordinates' recklessness.【】
What Zhao Qiang wanted was for the opponent's rightful owner to come over. Now that he has come, he will naturally have to step down the stairs. Is it possible that he really wants to have a big fight with the other party? He immediately gave Ge Feihu a look, and Ge Feihu understood.
He came over and said hurriedly: "Easy to say, easy to say." He paused for a moment and asked in a questioning tone: "I wonder what the shopkeeper's name is?"
"My surname is Gao." Gao Shiqi said, suddenly turned sideways, and said to Wan Si, who was being supported by the soldiers from the infantry camp: "Why don't you come over and apologize to me!"
"this…"
Wan Si was already somewhat awake, but his body was in severe pain. He had just been kicked hard in the chest by the other party. He was really out of breath and uncomfortable. He was feeling aggrieved and wanted to reveal his identity and deal with these ignorant people.
Sauron, the barbarian, didn't want Master Gao to stand up for him at all. Not only did he say it politely, but he also asked himself to apologize to the other party. This is unbearable no matter how much he thinks about it. Nigoshiqi's identity is too oppressive, and he is not
Could it be that the incoming Ouchi guard could still disobey the order? With the help of the people from the infantry camp, he reluctantly bowed his hands to the other party, but he could not say any words of apology. Seeing him like this, Ge Feihu also
Don't argue with him. The commander-in-chief means to have a chat with the other party's boss. Now that the real boss has come forward, what are the servants of the guard thug talking to him about? If the other party refuses to accept, the worst is to give him another kick.
Just beat him into submission!
When Ge Feihu was eighteen years old, he dared to fight a black bear alone and eventually captured and killed him. Later, he also encountered tigers and leopards, and he never took a step back. It was a fierce comparison. After joining Guan Ning's army, he never even took a step back.
The old soldier had learned a variety of killing techniques. How could a man with a high skill be afraid of a nursing home if he was so bold? If Zhao Qiang hadn't told him, he must be serious about his actions and not lead to lawsuits involving human lives. Otherwise, according to his character
, Wan Si was so arrogant just now, he had already been killed with one punch, how could he still get up?
Wan Si can do this, and the other party doesn't seem to care anymore. Gao Shiqi naturally won't embarrass Wan Si anymore. What's more, Wan Si is the one who suffered the loss, but the other party didn't hurt anyone. No matter how bad Wan Si is, he will still be in the palace.
The bodyguards who have suffered such misfortunes and suffered such crimes can still hold their breath and obey their orders. No matter what, this face is enough for themselves.
Gao Shiqi was born in a poor family and had a taste of the sophistication of the world. If he had not been guided by Mingzhu and moved into the south house of Kangxi, he would still be the same down-and-out man who would have been looked down upon by the world and tasted all the bitterness of the world. How could he be where he is today.
It is precisely because of this that he can handle the situation much better than those Eight Banners boys who have been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood. He knows exactly when to advance and when to retreat. He just saw it.
In case Si was kicked out, he knew that if he took action again, he would only suffer greater losses.
There is no chance of using force at this time. If he can't keep his temper and use his official position to pressure others, it's not Gao Shiqi's character. Moreover, in this wilderness, it's hard to say whether these Sauron barbarians can be frightened. Now that the other party has given
If you don't want to go down the steps yourself, then just take the boat and lift it over the bridge.
He must be merciful and merciful. Gao Shiqi secretly admired the words of these Sauron people just now. He secretly said that the person in charge of the other party must be a knowledgeable person, otherwise he would not do this. I think this is like this.
Bullying them, and hurting them first, but only being taught a lesson was enough. This kind of magnanimity is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Whether it is in the court or in the market, Gao Shiqi has seen many things where people take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it to bully them. Sometimes they even want to take advantage of others to kill them, euphemistically calling it "one and done" and "cutting off the roots to eliminate future troubles"
", he himself has done many such things with Mingzhu. Although this matter is not serious enough to hurt people's lives, it is really rare for the other party to be so restrained and to be reasonable and polite.
At that moment, Gao Shiqi wanted to make a good friendship with the other person in charge. If nothing else, since his subordinates were so fierce, it was worth making a good friendship, and maybe they could be of some use in the future.
But which one is in charge of the other party? Taking advantage of Wan Si's apology, Gao Shiqi secretly observed the other party and found that the strong man who attacked Wan Si did not look like the person in charge. Although there was a man next to him who was dressed as a manager,
But apart from his smooth and sophisticated face, he didn't appear to be someone who could make decisions, and the rest of the people didn't seem to be in charge. Only the unprepossessing man sitting on the chair with his legs crossed seemed to have a vague sense of mastery. But
The other party has not said a word from the beginning to now, so it is difficult to judge the identity of the other party from words. Gao Shiqi pondered for a moment, and then he had an idea in his mind. He said to Ge Feihu with some apology:
"Because I missed my journey, I couldn't find an inn to stay in, so I stayed here with my entourage for one night. To be honest, I am from Jiangnan in Guanhai. When I was young, my parents took me to Jingyuan Fang.
Relatives' house, and because this relative had an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Gao took care of some property for his relatives. This trip was for some business matters. Haha, I'm not afraid of making you laugh, Gao will never do anything else in his life.
I am not afraid, but I am very afraid of the cold. This is also my first time out of seclusion, and I have suffered a lot along the way. I just saw that your room is warmer than the one the waiter received, so I wanted to change rooms with you.
Otherwise, I didn’t want to cause such unpleasantness, I’m really ashamed to say it, please don’t take it personally!”
After finishing speaking, Gao Shiqi made a sincere statement to Ge Feihu and Zhao Qiang. There was no flaw in what he said. He used the excuse of a relative working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cover up that he was a Han.
The reason why he got to the outside of the customs is that he cleverly concealed his true identity without making people suspicious. Because there are only three kinds of people among the Han people who can go outside the customs. The first kind of people are the prisoners sent from inside the customs, and the second kind of people are
The third one is the Han official who works in the court, and the third one is the Han official who works on errands for the princes and ministers. Although Gao Shiqi did not directly say that he is the official, his relative is an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is not a bannerman.
What? What can his distant Han relative do if he doesn’t become a wrapper and joins the Banner Mansion?
Ge Feihu was a rough guy. Seeing that the other party was so polite, he didn't know how to say a few words in return. He just looked at him intently, but didn't know what to say. After a while, he heard Deqiu cough and said to Gao Shiqi: "
Shopkeeper Gao is afraid of the cold, but I asked the waiter to come over and say that we are all away from home, and everyone has their own inconveniences, so we need to be more considerate to each other. If shopkeeper Gao's words are too harsh, you and I
The two families will definitely not fight each other. Now that we have talked about it, let’s make this room available to the shopkeeper."
"Oh, okay, okay, boss, since they gave us the house in exchange, let them bring the luggage."
Eunuch Chen, who happened to come over, was overjoyed when he heard that the other party was willing to change rooms. He also understood why the five people who did not leave the infantry camp were not the opponents of these Sauron barbarians. If the matter continued to stalemate and the two sides fought again, no one would be able to fight.
Shen, maybe he will be beaten. Now that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, it is only him and four others who suffer. It is none of his business. It is getting late and it is too cold, so it is better to burn your feet and go to bed.
"Young man, I'll go get my boss's luggage now." Hearing this, a man from the infantry camp hurriedly went to get Gao Shiqi and Eunuch Chen's packages, but Gao Shiqi stopped him with a voice.
"I haven't asked who your host is yet?" Gao Shiqi looked at Ge Feihu and Deqiu with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Qiang who was sitting on the chair. Seeing this, Zhao Qiang knew that the man named Gao already knew about him.
He was the leader of this group of people. He thought about it just now. He couldn't think of any famous people named Gao in the DPRK, so he thought that the Nian Shi reported a false surname. Since the other party refused to tell his true identity, he could tell someone in person.
People talk nonsense, just have a good "chat" with him.
"To make shopkeeper Gao laugh, I'm Mi Qing, from Suo Lun Qiu He." Zhao Qiang stood up and walked to Gao Shiqi, imitating what he had just done and making a compilation.
"It turns out to be Dongzhu Mi. Nice to meet you!" Gao Shiqi held out his hand again, as if he was really happy to meet Zhao Qiang. The conversation changed and he said again: "I didn't expect Dongzhu Mi to speak Chinese too. I'm really glad."
It’s hard to get.”
After hearing what he said, Zhao Qiang's heart trembled. He knew that the other party was suspicious, but he said calmly: "Most of us Sauron people are forming the Eight Banners, but there are also some who have not joined the banner. Our Qiuhe tribe is the one who has not yet joined the banner."
As a part of the banner, we have been living in the deep mountains and old forests for many years. The oil, salt, rice and flour in our tribe are very scarce, so we often send people out to buy them. In addition, we do not hide it from the shopkeeper Gao. Although we people have been living in the deep mountains and old forests for many years.
There are a lot of treasures in our hands. Shopkeeper Gao is also a businessman. He naturally knows the difference in the price of good things outside the customs and inside the customs. Therefore, in order to sell them at a good price, we have to go to the customs every year.
, in order to sell more money to buy some good things for the clan members. As time goes by, the Han people will naturally learn some words, otherwise they will always rely on that person, and no one knows how much money will be eaten privately." Zhao Qiang
This was said very tactfully, and it was all about business, so it made sense to explain it. The treasures he was talking about were naturally the mink skins in the deep mountains and old forests, and the thousand-year-old ginseng. These things can only be found in the deep mountains.
The tribes here could get it, so Gao Shiqi suddenly became suspicious after hearing this.
"That's it." Gao Shiqi nodded and said, "According to this, the rice owners are going to the pass?"
Zhao Qiang said: "Exactly."
Gao Shiqi laughed "haha": "If Gao guessed correctly, the proprietor Mi must go to the capital for a trip. Only in the capital can the proprietor's good things have big buyers."
Zhao Qiang also laughed "haha" when he heard this, nodded and agreed: "Yes, this good thing can only be obtained in the capital. If it were elsewhere, no one might be able to eat it." After a pause, he said with some envy:
"Actually, among the people in the border areas, who among us doesn't envy the prosperity of the capital, and who doesn't want to live at the feet of the emperor? I'm not afraid of Mr. Gao's ridicule. Every time I come to the capital, I wish I could take root in the capital. However, we Sauron people have been here for thousands of years.
I'm used to living in this bitter cold place outside the pass, but I can't adapt to living in a nice place like the capital for a long time. I'm either very depressed or it feels like my bones are itching all over my body. Oh, what a miserable life."
What Zhao Qiang said about Gao Shiqi also has some personal experience. Although he is now an important minister of the imperial court and a famous person in the emperor, he always misses his hometown in Yuyao, Zhejiang when he lives in the capital. The rice he eats and the water he drinks always feel that his hometown is good. This is right.
The old man said, "The sky is huge and the earth is not as good as a place to give birth." The two said a few more words, but Eunuch Chen was a little impatient. He didn't understand why Mr. Gao was chatting so happily with these Sauron barbarians.
, it seemed that they were just about to set up a table of wine and food to talk about the wine night. Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, they urged Gao Shiqi to take a rest early.
The more Gao Shiqi and Zhao Qiang talked, the more interested they became. They always felt that the Sauron man in front of them was not simple, but they just didn't know why. When they looked at his tone, he didn't show it at all, which made them admire him even more. He has a good nature of understanding people's hearts.
Thinking, otherwise it would be difficult to coax Kangxi around, but he couldn't figure out the thoughts of a Sauron man, so he secretly got excited and insisted on finding out. But Eunuch Chen was impatient. Although he was an eunuch, he always wanted to find out.
He was a person sent by the emperor, so we couldn't offend him. After all, Gao Shiqi was a foreign minister. He was inferior to Eunuch Chen, the eunuch who stayed with the emperor all day long. It would be troublesome to offend him. So he told Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang agreed to vacate the house and asked Ge Feihu and the others to move their things to Gao Shiqi and the others.
After Ge Feihu and Deqiu packed their luggage and went out, Zhao Qiang said goodbye to Gao Shiqi and was about to leave when he heard Gao Shiqi say: "Since Mi Dongzhu is going to Beijing and Gao is also going back to Beijing, then
How about we go together tomorrow as a companion so that we can take care of each other?"
This was exactly what Zhao Qiang wanted but couldn't take the initiative to talk about it. He attracted Gao Shiqi and had such a long conversation with him, just to have the opportunity to get acquainted with this man surnamed Gao, so that he could get to know him.
He knew his identity, but the other party hid it very well, and he couldn't figure out anything. Now that the other party took the initiative to give him the opportunity, of course he wanted it. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Very good, very good. Shopkeeper Gao is familiar with the capital."
Very, I am about to ask shopkeeper Gao to help me find some good customers."
The two of them agreed, and said no more at the moment. Their subordinates took care of themselves. Gao Shiqi did not forget to ask the people from the Infantry Camp to give Zhao Qiang and the others double rent, but Zhao Qiang declined. After the people from the Infantry Camp reported back,
Gao Shiqi didn't force it, and the rent money was nothing. Both the other party and himself looked down upon him. Since the other party didn't accept it, he had to force it again, which only made him look petty.
