Cheng Dalei and his party of seven were put into the prison in Jiujiang City. Cheng Dalei had already had prison experience before. He had been imprisoned in the Luoye City Prison in Youzhou and had also been in the Heavenly Prison in Chang'an City.
So for Cheng Dalei, this kind of thing is common and nothing. But Liu Facai and Xu Shenji are both powerful men in the world. Living in prison is as normal as going home. But it is so painful for a few women.
The silver eyes were still cold and expressionless. Cui Baiyu had met the master before and didn't think anything of it. Although Diao Chan had some complaints in her heart, she didn't dare to speak in front of Cheng Dalei.
The key is Wulihan. He remembered that when he followed Nohara Huo, he had fine clothes and fine food, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. Later, Li Xingzai treated him well. Why did he never have a good day after following Cheng Dalei, and he still suffered for no reason?
, and ended up in prison.
Along the way, Cheng Dalei complained a lot. Cheng Dalei could only pretend not to listen to these women's complaints, but he really didn't know what to say.
Being taken to the prison all the way, what Cheng Dalei didn't expect was that the prison was overcrowded.
All the prisoners stared at Cheng Dalei with mocking expressions on their faces.
"Here comes another one."
Cheng Dalei touched his nose and felt a little confused. Logically speaking, the world was originally settled and there shouldn't be so many criminals.
The seven people were thrown into the cell, along with a group of prisoners who spoke with Jiaozhou accents.
"How did you get imprisoned?" asked a man with a black beard.
Cheng Dalei was also confused now and didn't know the real reason of the matter. He cupped his hands and asked, "Brother, what's your surname?"
"Xia Nangonggui is a businessman from Jiaozhou who came to Jiangnan to sell porcelain."
Cheng Dalei saw that this man spoke in a polite manner and did not look like a bad person. He asked curiously: "How did I get in?"
"Forget it, it's all about money and life, that bastard!"
"Damn it, I won't let him go even if I'm a ghost."
The group of people cursed and looked furious when they mentioned this matter. Nangong Gui waved his hands to suppress everyone's voices.
"To be honest, sir, we were framed and framed." Nangong Gui said.
"how to say?"
Nangong Gui sighed and said: "The name of the lord of Jiujiang City is Qian Weixiong, and he was your Majesty's pioneer official when he was in Jiangnan. He has a son named Qian Shiming, and the people call him Qian is Ming.
Most of all, he is greedy. We came here from Jiaozhou selling porcelain. We didn't know about it, and we were exposed unintentionally. We were targeted by Qian Shiming. He found any excuse to steal our property and threw us into prison.
.We have been imprisoned for half a year."
At the end of the sentence, the tone of Nangong Gui, a cultivated person like him, became bitter.
When Cheng Dalei heard this, he finally understood. His situation was exactly the same as Nangong Gui's. It seemed that Qian was destined to do such a thing not just once or twice.
"Hey, how did Li Xingzai lead the team?" Cheng Dalei sighed subconsciously.
In just a few years, Li Xingzai settled all the conflicts in the world, which can be considered a great achievement anyway. But to conquer these ninety thousand miles of land, someone always needs to be in charge. To be honest, Li Xingzai did not have enough manpower in his hands.
Li Xingzai is not to blame for this incident. With everything going on, there is time to choose talents who are capable, courageous, and upright. If the orders are not followed, the lord of a city will be like a local emperor. There is no reason for such a thing to happen.
Quite strange.
The empire used to be in the hands of the royal family, warlords, and local powerful men. But Li Xingzai emerged and swept across the world, wiped out the powerful men, defeated the warlords, and held the entire world in his own hands.
To be honest, despite the war, the world today is much cleaner than before.
However, when those ugly and dirty ones are cleaned up, new evils will naturally grow. This kind of thing is like leeks, after one crop is cut, there will be another crop.
"Sir, you have to be careful." Nangong Gui said: "We are all a group of men. The city lord's son only seeks wealth but not his life. I am afraid that there are so many beauties around him, and beauty will bring disaster."
Cheng Dalei nodded, then smiled and said: "Is it a blessing or a curse? You can't avoid it. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Let's wait and see."
…
In Qian Shiming's courtyard in the city lord's mansion, Team Leader Sun has already delivered the seized property. Qian Shiming is doing an inventory.
Qian Shiming has a certain hobby when it comes to gold and silver jewelry. As the city lord's son, he can't get anything, and even if he has money, he may not be able to spend it. But he still likes to collect gold and silver jewelry, looking at what is placed in front of him
of gold and silver, there is a spontaneous sense of happiness.
The harvest from this operation was greater than he imagined.
The dazzling array of financial reports really opened his eyes.
After seeing this, Qian Shiming started to cry bitterly. Sun Ban, who was beside him, was confused and said: "Sir, what sad thing have you thought of?"
Qian Shiming wiped away his tears and sighed: "My whole life, I have been fond of collecting treasures. Porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River, lacquerware from Jiaozhou, jade from the mountains, and corals from the sea. I thought I had a wide collection, but today I realize that I am a frog in a well. I didn't know that there are so many treasures in the world.
That’s it.”
Bantou Sun was a little dazed, and then he came back to his senses and said: "Young master, you don't have to be sad. You have collected them sooner or later. Sooner or later, all the treasures in the world will fall into your pocket."
"Hey, there are endless treasures. If you collect one more, you will get more joy." Qian Shiming immediately cheered up.
Just at this time, a servant reported that the master had returned home.
"Put it away, put it away." Qian Shiming immediately ordered: "Be gentle, don't damage my treasure."
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard walked in from outside.
"The child has seen his father."
Qian Weixiong waved his hand and said: "Without courtesy, what is Ming'er doing recently?"
"During the period when the father is away, the children study morning and evening and dare not leave the house even half a step."
"Okay, okay." Qian Weixiong laughed heartily: "You should read more books. As a father, you suffer the disadvantage of not having read a book. You study hard, and I will send you to Chang'an in the future. My father once
Your Majesty blocked an arrow, and based on this little bit of kindness, I cannot allow you to enter the court."
Qian Shiming was respectful, and suddenly remembered something and said: "I would like to inform my father, my son just got an axe. My father also used an axe, so it is just right to dedicate it to my father."
"Oh, it's rare for a child to have such filial piety. Take it and show it to your father."
Qian Shiming sent his servants to take the ax from the room and asked two people to carry it in. Qian held the handle of the ax in his chest, put it in his hand, and said with emotion: "What a good ax."
The ax head was dim and dull, and when I looked at it, it looked like there was a ferocious ghost on it.
As a general, how could he not like weapons? The more Qian Weichun looked at them, the more he liked them, and he gradually frowned.
