Chapter 16: Agreed to buy a horse, the singer Lian'er
"One hundred taels!"
This price made Shen Tang and others stunned! Even in the Song Dynasty, the price of a horse was not much higher. In this Northland, it was sold for such a sky-high price!
However, now that he has guessed the purpose of the price, Shen Tang also understands. Although the price is expensive, it is enough as long as you can buy horses. In Jiangnan, no matter how much you pay, it is easy to say three or five horses, one or two hundred A fine horse is simply impossible to buy.
"So, you can really get a hundred good horses?" Shen Tang asked calmly.
Na Yazi smiled and said, "Don't say a hundred pieces, even a thousand pieces is not a problem, as long as you can afford the price!"
"When and where can we trade a hundred horses and ten thousand taels of silver?" Shen Tang asked directly.
"If you really want it, how about Xiliu Lane in the east of the city tomorrow?" Yazi looked at Shen Tang and said.
However, Shen Tang shook his head, "It's not possible within the city. If you want to take this horse out, it will naturally be a lot of trouble! I can increase the price, and we can choose a place outside the city to trade!"
Shen Tang's words did not surprise Na Yazi, and he nodded directly and said, "Okay! You can add another five thousand taels, ten miles south of the city, how about the deal in front of Jingzi Mountain! If you agree, pay a deposit of one thousand taels first, Come here to find me tomorrow and night, and I will go out of the city on your behalf!"
"good!"
Shen Tang was not afraid at all that he would defraud him of his money, and the most important thing was that in this market, it was obvious that only the teeth in front of him were selling horses! So, even if it was just a gamble, it was only a thousand taels of silver, but it didn't matter.
"Silver and you! I hope you won't let me down!" Shen Tang said lightly.
Na Yazi smiled faintly, "I, Qinyang Bai Wu'er, have been hanging around for many years, so I won't ruin my reputation just for these thousand taels of silver! When the sun sets tomorrow, you guys will come here to look for me..."
After paying the deposit, Shen Tang didn't even ask Yazi to give any proof, and just turned around and left.
The three of them returned to the hotel all the way, and Lei Quan asked: "Sir, can that person be trusted?"
When Lei Quan and others saw this, although they felt a little strange, they didn't ask any more questions.
"Ding Liu, you go out and tell all our brothers the plan! Everyone leave the city as soon as possible to make arrangements!" Shen Tang said.
Ding Liu took the order and left, while Shen Tang and the others stayed in the room to avoid causing any trouble outside.
Within a quarter of an hour, Ding Liu turned back and said that everything had been arranged. Shen Tang did not ask any more questions, presumably there must be some secret connection between Beiwei's soldiers.
The day passed in a hurry, and the sky became dark again. The waiter Xiaoliu served wine and food again, and the three of them ate wine and chatted, and they were happy for a while.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Guanren, I am Xiao Liuzi!"
There was a knock on the door and Xiao Liuzi's voice came.
Shen Tang responded, and Xiao Liuzi pushed the door in with a bit of a smile.
"It is really Xiao Liuzi's sin to disturb the guest's banquet. However, a maid singing a ditty happened to come to the shop. Why don't you listen to the guest and reward him with a few coins..." Xiao Liuzi said obediently.
"Oh?" Shen Tang was a little curious, so he said to Xiaoliu: "Okay, you can just invite me!"
Xiaoliu thanked him deeply and left. Not long after, Xiaoliu led a woman in a light pink skirt into the door. This woman looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a half-old hand in her hand. Pipa, the skirt on her body also has several patches hidden.
"Lian'er has met several guests, and I wonder what little song the guests want to hear!" Xiao Liuzi closed the door and left. The singer found a stool by herself, lowered her forehead, and gently played with the dark strings in her hands.
"Just sing what you're good at!" Shen Tang and others just listened to the new song and drank by themselves, letting the singer sing.
"Lingbo is no more than Hengtang Road. But I see the fragrance go away. Who will spend the beautiful years? The moon bridge garden, the small windows and red doors. Only spring knows the place... Flying clouds slowly rise into the twilight. New inscriptions with colorful pens are heartbreaking. Sentence. If you ask about leisure time, how much is it? A river of tobacco, the city is full of wind and rain. Plums are yellow and rainy! "
A song called "Sapphire Bank" was sung with some elegance and some sadness. Shen Tang and others listened to it and applauded it. After the singer sang it several times and rewarded her with a few taels of silver, they allowed her to leave.
Xiaoliu pushed the door open and served several pots to the people in Shen Hall again for a long time, "Xiaoliu, Miss Lian'er, thank you several guests for the reward! This Lian'er is said to be from my hometown, and she knows a few ballads. But , for fear of being seen by the golden man, so only the kind-hearted Nanke would sing a few songs and earn a few cents of money to live. Fortunately, there are several restaurant owners in the city who are kind-hearted, and if there are suitable officials, they will go Find her. Otherwise, I don’t know how miserable a mere woman would be..."
The people in Shen Hall listened indifferently, but also a bit proud! Although they were in an enemy country, the benevolent nature of the Song people was still passed down.
Xiaoliu left, and the three of them continued the banquet. Suddenly, a chaotic sound suddenly came, including crying and screaming.
"Ding Liu, go and see what's happening outside!" Shen Tang said.
Ding Liu responded and left. After a while, the chaos outside subsided and Ding Liu also returned.
"Sir, there were several Jin soldiers in the store who happened to see the singer Lian'er. Seeing her beauty, they kidnapped the singer directly!"
"What?" Shen Tang stood up angrily. After a moment, Shen Tang said sharply: "Lei Quan, maybe he can contact other brothers?"
Lei Quan hesitated when he heard the words. Of course he knew what Shen Tang wanted to do, but now in Qinyang City, there is danger everywhere. It would be unwise to cause extraneous problems.
"Lei Quan, I understand your concerns. However, that is my Song family daughter, just like our sister. How can we bear to watch her being insulted by the Jin people? If you don't want to, I won't force you. I will go alone. Just go..."
Of course, Lei Quan could not let Shen Tang go, so he could only respond with a wry smile: "Ding Liu, you go there again and contact Shang Kai and others. Try to save the singing girl as much as possible!"
"However, sir, you can save her this time, but what about the future?" Lei Quan said with a wry smile.
Shen Tang thought for a moment, "If we rescue her, let Shang Kai arrange for her to leave the city! Simply, we will leave the North after finishing our work tomorrow. At worst, just bring her back to Jiangnan! I can't save everyone, but as long as there are Maybe, how can I stand by and watch this kind of thing!"
Ding Liu fled away, but this time he didn't come back until midnight.
"Sir, the matter is settled! Tomorrow, Shang Kai will arrange for her to leave the city. Don't worry, sir!" Ding Liu said to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded, feeling relieved. If the flower-like girl fell into the hands of the golden man, she would definitely be worse off than dead. Although this trip was a bit risky, it was worth it.
"Where are those golden men?"
Hearing this, Ding Liu sneered, "Bei Wei takes action. How can four or five drunk Jin people escape? Their souls have returned and their bodies have been properly disposed of. As long as there are no important people among them, the Jin people will definitely not notice it for a while.
