Yang Peng took a look at him and saw that he was wearing gold and silver silk and satin, looking like a rich man. He couldn't help but smile and asked: "What kind of business are you in?"
When Li Mingtong heard this, he couldn't help but become nervous, because his intuition told him that King Yan was testing him by asking this question. He couldn't help but swallowed, bowed and said: "Ignorant, I am a local Malaysian businessman!
"Li Mingtong said the word 'big'. He originally wanted to be humble, but then he thought, since King Yan wants to test his ability, it is better not to be humble. Not only can't be humble, but he must also be appropriately exaggerated.
, so the word '大' was added in front of 'horse merchant'.
When Yang Peng heard that he was a Malaysian businessman, he couldn't help but become interested. Yang Peng was very interested in businessmen from all over the country, but he was not sensitive to scholars. Yang Peng said: "Your surname is Li. I remembered you.
He is the largest horse dealer in Xiliang and the owner of Lijia Racecourse."
When Li Mingtong saw that Yang Peng had heard of him a long time ago, he was so surprised that he didn't know where to put his fat hands. But he didn't know that every time Yang Peng conquered a place, one thing he had to do was
It is to understand the local merchants and handicraft industry. He, Li Mingtong, is the largest horse dealer in Xiliang, so Yang Peng will naturally not miss him.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "You, Li Mingtong, have made contributions to our Yanyun a long time ago..." Li Mingtong showed surprise, pointed at his nose and said: "Little man, little man has made contributions to King Yan a long time ago..."
What? This, this, villain, villain, but don’t you know?"
Yang Peng said: "When I was still living in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, I sent people everywhere to buy horses. I had a batch of 500 horses. I remember that I bought them from the Li's Horse Farm in Xiliang. Boss Li's business was very good.
Big, I must have forgotten it a long time ago." When Li Mingtong heard what Yang Peng said, he immediately remembered a big deal a few years ago. At that time, a buyer who claimed to be a Shandong merchant came to buy it, and he bought it for five hundred yuan at a time.
Horse, that was a rare big order, so Li Mingtong still clearly remembers it. Li Mingtong said in disbelief: "No, I didn't expect that it was actually King Yan who came to buy a horse!" Then he said excitedly: "The villain is really,
How blind-sighted!”
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Boss Li had actually noticed something strange at that time, right?" Li Mingtong smiled and said: "Yan Wang Mingjian. The villain did notice something strange at that time. I just felt that these people who came to buy horses
They really don’t look like people from a merchant’s family. People from a merchant’s family don’t have such a strong temperament. In addition, the villain also found that these people seem to be very anxious to get a horse!..."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "What's the price given by Boss Li?" Li Mingtong immediately became uneasy and said quickly: "The villain didn't know that it was King Yan who wanted the horse. He was really blinded by lard and fell into the eyes of money.
It’s really a crime worthy of death, a crime worthy of death!”
Yang Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Li is wrong." Then he said warmly: "There are no fools among businessmen, they are all the best among people. We wanted the horse in a hurry at that time, and we were not sure about the price.
I don’t care too much. The bosses who sell horses, including Boss Li, have noticed this. But except for Boss Li, everyone else took the opportunity to extort a lot of money from us, but Boss Li’s price is very fair.
Yes, I always remember this."
Li Mingtong was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed and said, "I don't dare to accept King Yan's praise. I just keep my father's teachings in mind when I'm a villain!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "If Boss Li is willing, your Li's horse farm can be my Yan Yunjun's designated horse farm." The so-called 'designated horse farm' does not mean to annex this horse farm, but to include this horse farm.
Yan Yunjun's military horse supply system provides Yan Yun Army with qualified war horses according to Yan Yun Army's orders. In this system, the largest one is naturally the official horse farm, and there are also many private horse farms as supplements. In fact, it is not only
In the racecourse industry, other industries that serve Yan Yun's army are also organized in a similar way, with government-run merchants and handicraft workshops as the mainstay, supplemented by private merchants and handicraft workshops, such as catapults, artillery carts and
The metal components on heavy equipment such as three-bow crossbows are basically produced by private factories. Generally speaking, once private businesses or factories join this system, they will not have to worry about survival and development.
Li Mingtong was overjoyed when he heard Yang Peng ask him if he was willing to use Li's horse farm as the designated horse farm for Yan Yun's army. He was stunned and didn't care about revealing Yang Peng's identity. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Prince Yan
Look after the common people. Even if the common people die, they will never be able to repay the great kindness of King Yan!" Then he kowtowed a few more times. Another merchant who was drinking on the second floor saw this scene and immediately knew Yang Peng's identity.
A thin middle-aged man dressed similarly as a wealthy man immediately left his seat and ran over, but was stopped by two secret guards.
Seeing that all the benefits were taken by Li Mingtong, the thin middle-aged man jumped up and down in a hurry and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, the common man Zhao Cong pays homage to His Highness the King of Yan!" After saying that, he bowed down.
Yang Peng said to Li Mingtong: "Get up." Li Mingtong stood up, feeling that he was no longer the king of Yan, and his heart was filled with a feeling of honor, and he stepped aside.
Yang Peng stood up, walked to Zhao Cong, looked at the guy lying on the ground, and said calmly: "Your name is Zhao Cong, then you are the largest salt merchant in Xiliang."
Zhao Cong was overjoyed when he heard that King Yan knew about him, and said quickly: "It's just a villain, it's just a villain!" Yang Peng snorted coldly and said: "You are indeed a villain! I heard that Xixia was defeated and retreated to the west.
During this period of time in Liang Mansion, you, the largest salt merchant, hoarded money and maliciously raised the price of salt, making a huge profit!" Zhao Cong was dripping with cold sweat when he heard what Chen Xiao said, and kowtowed quickly:
"The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"
Yang Peng laughed and said: "Since you also think you deserve to die, then I will send you to death!" Zhao Cong was so frightened that he peed and excreted, and his crotch was soaked all of a sudden. A stench suddenly entered the originally fragrant atmosphere.
, Zhao Cong hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "King Yan, have mercy on me, King Yan, have mercy on me!..." His head banged on the floor. Seeing that the situation was not good, his relatives and friends were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground; Li Mingtong's
There was a happy look in his eyes, and he was already dissatisfied with Zhao Cong's behavior of hoarding and raising the price of salt during this period.
Yang Peng returned to his seat and sat down, glanced at Zhao Cong who was still kowtowing, and said: "Okay, stop kowtowing!" Zhao Cong stopped in a hurry, and his heart was as nervous as fifteen buckets.
Down.
Yang Peng said: "Although what you did is abominable, it is after all a matter of the Xixia period. I, the Yanyun Law, cannot control what happened at that time. From today on, as long as you abide by the law and operate your business, not only will no one come to trouble you
, there will be someone to help you when you are in trouble."
Zhao Cong couldn't believe it. He raised his head and looked at Yang Peng blankly. He finally reacted, cried with joy, and kowtowed. His relatives and friends also kowtowed to thank King Yan for his sinless kindness.
Yang Peng walked up to Zhao Cong and smelled a stench. He frowned and bent down to help Zhao Cong up. He said sincerely: "As a businessman, you should not only look at profits, but also be responsible!"
Zhao Cong nodded quickly and said: "The villain has taken note of it!~ The villain has taken note of it!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Go back and run your business properly, don't have any worries. But remember one thing, you must abide by the rules and laws.
." Zhao Cong was filled with gratitude and said excitedly with tears in his eyes: "King Yan treats the villain so leniently. If the villain does something illegal again, he will be worse than a beast! The villain must remember King Yan's teachings!"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, saying: "I believe you are a person of your word." This simple sentence immediately gave Zhao Cong an impulse to escape and dedicate his heart to the other party.
I don't know what to say.
Zhao Cong suddenly felt the feces and urine in his crotch. He was extremely ashamed and said quickly: "Little man, little man, I'm rude! Little man, little man, please leave!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Zhao Cong quickly bowed to Yang Peng,
Then he turned around and ran away while holding up his pants. His relatives and friends also bowed to Yang Peng and chased after him. Yang Peng returned to his seat and sat down. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng with admiration.
Yang Peng faced Li Mingtong, who was standing aside: "You go back first, and someone will come to explain the specific things to you." Li Mingtong responded and bowed to Yang Peng: "Resign, villain!" Yang Peng nodded.
Li Mingtong returned to the crowd of relatives and friends, and whispered what Yang Peng had just said to him. All the relatives and friends looked extremely excited. Then everyone paid the bill, stood up, bowed to Yang Peng and Yeyi Guanyin from a distance, and left.
.
Yang Peng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, glanced at the distant city wall outside the window, frowned and said: "Why are there no movement among the Tubo people?" Yeqi Guanyin smiled and said: "If there is no movement, it is a good thing!
Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps on the stairs, and then a scout with sweat on his face ran up. It was the scout who had reported to Yang Peng before. The scout stood at the entrance of the stairs, glanced upstairs, and saw
Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin, who were sitting by the window, immediately ran over and said, "Greetings to King Yan and to the empress!"
Yang Peng took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and asked: "Is there any new situation?" The scout shook his head and said: "Reporting to King Yan, although there is no new situation, it has confirmed the previous situation. We have arrested him.
An enemy patrolman learned from his mouth that Songhe had indeed arrested Duosang! Originally, Songhe was going to execute Duosang, but due to the plea of Hanon and others, he changed it to imprisonment.
The Tibetan soldiers of Nong et al. Zanbutai's line were very angry."
When Yang Peng and Yeqi Guanyin heard the news, they looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Soon after, another news came that Songhe ordered Hanon and other soldiers of the Zanbutai line to attack the city for the vanguard to prove their strength.
Although he was innocent, he encountered a huge backlash. Hanon and others refused Songhe's order on the grounds that the morale of Duosang's arrest was unstable. Now the atmosphere in the Tibetan military camp is already very tense.
Yang Peng thought for a moment and told Ye Qi Guanyin a plan. Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said angrily: "The eldest brother also said that the younger sister is treacherous. In fact, if the younger sister is compared with the elder brother, in the words of you Han people,
The little witch sees that the big witch can't catch up!" Yang Peng laughed loudly...
Hanon and other generals gathered together again to discuss the current affairs. Everyone was worried, but Yiduo looked furious and said angrily: "Damn it, you captured Duosang first, and now you want us to die! This
You bastard, I really want to kill him!" Hanon shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" Yiduo closed his mouth, but kept breathing angrily.
Tashi Cairen said worriedly: "We don't listen to his orders, of course because he wants to frame us for his own benefit, but we are afraid that he will arrest us for disobeying military orders!"
Yi Duo shouted: "He dares! If he dares to take action, we are not vegetarians!" Hanon thought: "I guess General Songhe will not take such drastic actions. Once civil strife breaks out, Yan Yun will
If the army takes the opportunity to defeat us, we will certainly not end well, and Song He may not be much better off either!" All the generals nodded.
Tashi Cairen said: "One more thing, if Songhe reports our disobedience to military orders to the court and His Majesty, how should we explain it?"
Hanon said: "We don't obey the general's order because Song He pretends to be a public servant and wants to eradicate generals like us. His arrest of Duosang is proof of this. Anyone who is not a fool can see what happened to Duosang. That is
Song He insisted on dealing with Duosang because of the Yanyun people's counter-intentional plan. He also wanted us people to make arrowheads to fight for our lives. In fact, he wanted to use the Yanyun people's hands to get rid of us. He was not trying to frame the public for his own benefit.
What? It would be better to be in front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the court, but I would like to show everyone what kind of villain Songhe is!" Everyone nodded, looking a little excited.
Hanon said: "But that 'secret envoy' is a trouble. In front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if he continues to talk nonsense like he is now, it will not only be detrimental to Duosang, but also very disadvantageous to us; and if Duosang has been here
In the hands of Song He, there is no guarantee that he will not use torture to extract false confessions from Duosang. If these come before His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, we will not be able to defend ourselves. To use a Han saying, it is "jump in"
The Yellow River can't even be washed away!" Everyone became worried, and Yi Duo shouted: "Kill that bullshit 'secret envoy', and then rescue Duosang!" Everyone's hearts moved, and they felt that this was the only way to do it, and they all looked towards
Hanon.
Hanon narrowed his eyes and said: "Just like what Yiduo said! But these two things are not trivial. It would be terrible if Songhe caught him and revealed himself! Therefore, these two things must be done secretly, and Songhe cannot be aware of it.
! We need to select a group of warriors who are most loyal to us and would rather die than reveal the truth after being arrested to carry out these two tasks!" Yiduo slapped his chest and said loudly: "Leave this matter to me.
I guarantee that none of the selected warriors will be greedy for life or fear of death!" Hanon nodded and said: "The soldiers under Yi Duo are indeed the most suitable candidates. Let Yi Duo choose the warriors, and then bring them to me.
." Yiduo responded and ran out of the tent...
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the camp. Many black figures were moving quickly in the Tibetan military camp, avoiding sentries and patrols. Soon after, five or six black figures sneaked into the shadows next to a tent, and a man stood at the door of the tent.
Two sergeants were guarding. A black figure made a gesture, and the two black figures behind him immediately bowed and walked up gently, as silently as night owls, walked behind the two sergeants, and suddenly jumped up,
He suddenly covered the sergeant's mouth and nose with his left hand, and pulled the dagger on the sergeant's throat with his right hand. Before the two sergeants understood what happened, they went to see the King of Hell.
The two men in black immediately dragged the bodies of the two sergeants to the darkness behind the tent. The men in black in the shadows on this side immediately ran up. The two men in black stood guard in the darkness outside the tent, and the rest in black
People quickly entered the tent. It was very dark in the tent, and someone called out in Tubo: "Duosang." A feeble voice in the middle of the tent responded: "Who, who called me?"
All the men in black immediately ran to the middle of the tent, and vaguely saw a man tied to a wooden stake in the middle. The light was too dark to see clearly, but he seemed to have been tortured. The leader of the men in black spoke in Tubo.
Asked: "Are you Duosang?" Duosang nodded, glanced at the men in black in front of him, frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "You guys leave quickly, don't do this kind of thing! Songhe has no evidence, here we are.
Your Majesty, your Majesty will naturally restore my innocence!"
The leader of the men in black said: "It seems that you are indeed Duosang!" Then he ordered the man in black beside him: "Untie him and leave here immediately!" Two men in black immediately stepped forward and took daggers.
After cutting off the rope that bound Duosang, Duosang felt her body go limp and slid downwards. Fortunately, a man in black next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold her up, preventing him from falling to the ground. Duosang held on to the man in black.
People, rushed to the leader of the men in black and said: "I told you to leave me alone and leave quickly!" The leader of the men in black said: "We are acting under orders, but we can't listen to you!" Duosang stepped forward and wanted to say more, but unexpectedly the other party
He suddenly raised the handle of the knife and hit him hard on the back of his head, and he fainted with stars in his eyes.
The leader of the men in black whispered: "Get out of here quickly!" He immediately left the tent, and the other two men in black followed Duosang.
After a while, several more men in black sneaked in. One of them shouted softly: "General Duosang..." No one answered. He shouted twice more, but still no one answered. Several men in black
Then they searched the tent and found the middle of the tent. They found wooden stakes and a pile of cut ropes that fell under the wooden stakes. A man in black asked very puzzledly: "What is going on? General Duosang has arrived.
Where did it go?" Another man in black said anxiously: "No, no, no! I'm afraid it's a trap! Let's go!" After saying that, he ran outside. Several other people were frightened after hearing his words.
Seeing him running out, I also ran out quickly...
Hanon and others waited anxiously in Hanon's tent. There were no lights in the tent to prevent Song Hyuk's men from becoming suspicious after seeing it. The tent was very quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent. Everyone in the tent stood up one after another, and Yiduo couldn't help but said: "We're back!" The door curtain opened, and two big men in black who had removed their hoods strode forward.
Come and pay homage to the generals: "I've seen you generals!" Yiduo asked impatiently: "How's it going? Have you been rescued? Have you killed that bullshit emissary?"
The two men in black looked at each other, and the man in black on the left bowed and said: "Something strange happened. I led my men to rescue General Duosang, but I didn't find General Duosang. General Duosang is missing!"
Everyone was shocked, and Yiduo said angrily: "What do you mean missing? Did you find the wrong tent? Damn it!" The man in black on the left said hurriedly: "There is absolutely nothing wrong, and there is a wooden stake in the tent.
There are still a bunch of cut ropes underground where people have been tied up, that must be the place where General Duosang was previously imprisoned!"
Hanon asked: "You mean the rope was cut?" The man in black nodded: "Exactly! We thought it was a trap by the enemy and retreated immediately!" The generals looked at each other and felt puzzled.
Hanon suddenly felt a shiver in his heart and said to Yiduo urgently: "Yiduo, go down immediately and assemble the army secretly to prevent any unexpected events!" Yiduo asked puzzledly: "What's the unexpected?" Hanon said angrily.
He shouted: "Go quickly!" Yiduo responded and ran out.
Hanon asked the man in black on the right: "What's the situation over there? You won't get anything, right?" The man in black said: "We didn't find the target either. We searched all over the tent and found nothing at all!
"
Hanon couldn't help but become anxious, pacing back and forth in the tent, frowning and murmuring: "Damn it! What on earth is going on? If it is a trap, why is there no movement at this moment?"...
Duosang woke up faintly. He saw the ceiling with crisscrossed beams and rafters, and was stunned. He turned around and looked at the room, and was surprised to find that he was actually in an exquisite bedroom. Duosang's mind was at a loss for a moment.
I couldn't turn around: Aren't I in a military camp? How did I get here? Where is this?
He sat up, got off the bed, hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door, and a small courtyard immediately appeared in front of him. There were also two tall sergeants wearing heavy armor and cloaks, holding long swords, standing on the left and right.
At the door, the two sergeants looked at him, and he looked at the two sergeants. Suddenly, he realized that the appearance and attire of the two sergeants seemed to be those of Yan Yunjun. He was shocked, and then became even more confused, and said angrily.
Asked: "Where is this place? Who are you?"
The sergeant on the left said: "This is Xiliang Mansion, and we are the secret guards under King Yan!" Duosang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Although he expected that he might have hid in the hands of the Yanyun people, this incident
After all, it was too unbelievable, so even though he had some guesses in his mind, he didn't believe it. That's why he was so shocked when he heard the sergeant confirmed his guess.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
