The slave market is really good. The supply of slaves in Chang'an city exceeds the demand, so Yin San'er makes a lot of money. How can one be satisfied? The price of slaves in Chang'an is so high and there is no source of supply. Yin San'er is determined to open up a new market.
A new road. After Yin San'er 'researched' in the West City, he chose the 'Kunlun Slave' as his target.
Just in time, Li Chongyi destroyed Linyi and the two countries of Zhenla. Wang Pu was now in charge of Linyi, so Yin Saner paid Wang Gui's housekeeper, met with Wang Gui, and proposed the idea of selling Kunlun slaves.
In the early Tang Dynasty, slave trading was a 'legitimate' business. After Wang Gui heard Yin San'er talk about the profits, he was also a little moved. But as a Taiyuan Wang family, how could he cooperate with Yin San'er and other common people?
To cooperate is also to absorb. Yin San'er was also happy to hug the thick leg of the Taiyuan Wang family, and suddenly became a steward of the Taiyuan Wang family, specifically responsible for the line of selling Kunlun slaves. After receiving the badge of steward, he often
Entering and leaving Wang Gui's mansion.
The first time Jin Chunqiu and others came to Yin San'er's residence, they rushed to the empty house. At that time, Yin San'er was at Wang Gui's house. Although Jin Chunqiu and others found out about Yin San'er's trace, Wang Gui's house was empty.
How dare they disturb her, so they had to resort to the stupidest method and send someone to wait for Yin San'er at the door.
The next day, Yin San'er finally came home. Jin Chunqiu hurriedly prepared gifts and paid a visit. After explaining his purpose, Yin San'er's expression became strange. He had been a human trafficker for many years, and the people who came to his door were always strange.
At least, most likely, he will also help. After all, he is just making a living. If the family has money to redeem the person and the owner wants to sell it, he can also get an 'agency fee' from it.
But not everyone remembers it, so this kind of thing is still very rare. But this time Jin Chunqiu asked about the person, he couldn't help but remember it, because the impression was too deep. Firstly, because of Li Zhien's outstanding appearance, and secondly
This was related to Li Mu. He had a fight with Cui Yuyan that day and almost beat Cui Yuyan to death. This could be regarded as Li Mu's first shot in the fledgling world. From then on, Zhuluhou became famous in Chang'an City. Not only did he remember this, but he also
If you pick someone up on the street, they will remember it freshly.
Yin San'er is a personal trafficker and has the ability to recognize people. As soon as he took a look, he could tell that Jin Chunqiu was not an ordinary person. The fact that he was a foreigner was not the main reason, but because of Jin Chunqiu's dress. He was from Silla and Goguryeo.
Although he is dressed in a standard Guanzhong dialect, people there, especially commoners, are not qualified to learn Guanzhong dialect. Only nobles can learn Guanzhong dialect. This shows that Jin Chunqiu must be a noble.
A Silla noble came looking for him, so the slave that was sold must be a noble, or at least a family member of this noble. If it were an ordinary family, Yin San'er would not be happy to do this business, but it concerns Li Mu, and he would not
Dare to provoke.
Looking at the gold on the table, Yin San'er still felt that his own life was more important. After hesitation, he pushed the gold back to Jin Chunqiu and said, "I can't help you with this matter. To be honest,
Now that I have washed my hands of my problems, I am now the steward of the Wang family's house in Taiyuan. Not to mention that this matter may not have been through my hands. Even if it was, the old debts have long been gone. I can't help you. Nothing.
If you are not rewarded for your merits, you can leave."
Jin Chunqiu saw that Yin San'er had something to hide, so he didn't say much, clapped his hands, and the attendant took out two more gold bars. Adding the two on the table, there were four gold bars, a total of forty taels of gold. This was more than
Yin San'er's net worth, which he had worked hard to accumulate for many years, was even higher. Yin San'er swallowed and couldn't move his eyes away.
Such a huge sum of money is enough to buy him a life in the world. If he hadn't taken advantage of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Qian Yin San'er would have said anything. Then he would take the money and run away, and he would be a rich man in the world. But
Now that he has embraced the Taiyuan Wang family and has Kunlun Nu's business waiting for him to do, this amount of money is a bit small after all. After all, living on the sidelines and making living money are not the same thing.
Yin San'er knocked on the table, pondered for a long time, and said: "If there are two more, I can provide you with some information."
Jin Chunqiu didn't say anything and took out four more gold bars. Yin San'er was stunned and regretted. He looked like a wealthy customer. Six gold bars were still missing. How did he know that King Zhenping gave Jin Chunqiu one?
One hundred taels of gold, even if he asked for one hundred taels, Jin Chunqiu would give it to him, because what he cared about was not the money, but the persuasion promised by King Jinpyeong. In the Silla Kingdom, the prime minister had almost the greatest power, because the King of Silla
Regardless of specific affairs, major national affairs are decided by the prime minister. As prime minister, how much money does he want?
Although he regretted it in his heart, Yin San'er still valued integrity after what he had said. He put six gold bars into his sleeves and said: "I don't know the 'Gao Yue' you mentioned. I only remember that there was a Silla maid."
, is very similar to the person you mentioned. This maid was bought by Zhuluhou, who is now the Duke of Luoyang County, and became the second wife. If you want to find someone, go to the Duke of Luoyang County. However,
For the sake of these six gold bars, let me give you a piece of advice. The Duke of Luoyang County is the most difficult person to mess with in the Tang Dynasty. Go and ask for his second wife. Hey, weigh it for yourself. Don’t walk away without food.
"
Luoyang County Duke...
Jin Chunqiu thought of the scene he saw yesterday. A young man with a feather fan and a turban pulled out his sword and beheaded the Gaochang man in front of the emperor. Blood splattered. He seemed to be the Duke of Luoyang County.
Unexpectedly, the princess turned out to be his second wife.
this……
Jin Chunqiu was preoccupied and did not say much. He stood up and left. Yin San'er sent the person to the door, turned around and packed his bags. He went to the West Market to find a dentist, sold the house at the lowest price, and hired a car.
He let his wife and children go first in the big car, and he went straight to Wang Gui's house to say goodbye, saying that he was going to Linyi to prepare for the Kunlun slaves.
Taking the steward's letter, he rode after his wife and children, all the way to Linyi, and never returned to Chang'an in his life.
…
Dusk, Honglu Temple.
In the other courtyard where the Goguryeo envoy is staying, the Goguryeo envoy, Gao Bin, the Crown Prince of Goguryeo, is listening to a report from a person. If Jin Chunqiu were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is his entourage. He will never
He never expected that there would be an informant from Goguryeo beside him.
"Go back, take this." After listening to the report, Gao Bin threw something to the attendant. The attendant took it in his hand and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gem."
"Hey, what an ignorant thing." Gao Bin sneered and said: "These are called chips. They are only found in the Sihai Gambling House in Pingkangli. The one in your hand can be exchanged for ten guan of money in the gambling house, or
Go to the East and West markets to buy things. Look at your uneducated look, tsk—go away!"
The entourage dared to say anything, took the chips and ran away. An old man wearing a 'tiger head hat' walked into the room, holding a willow crutch in his hand. This willow has a strange shape, like a skeleton, which is very disturbing.
Hey. This person is the great shaman of Goguryeo, Yimo, who came with Gao Bin.
The Goguryeo people believed in shamanism and would always ask shamans to ask for fortune or misfortune in every important event. This great shaman Yimo was a confidant of Gao Bin’s father, King Rongmin. His status in the palace of King Rongmin was equivalent to that of a counselor.
When he came to the Tang Dynasty this time, King Rongmin was afraid that Gao Bin would not be able to handle things well at a young age, so he sent his most trusted Yimo to assist him, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Your Majesty, is there any news already?"
Gao Bin smiled and said: "The great shaman has sharp ears and eyes. Didn't he hear everything? That Jin Chunqiu really came to look for his daughter with the secret decree of King Jinpyeong of Silla. Oh, he must not have thought that the mantis stalks the cicada.
With the bird behind us, we will wait and see what happens, and wait until they find the evil bastard before we take action. Even if there is trouble, it will be led by the Silla people and they will not find us."
"It's best for the Crown Prince to act cautiously. The important matters between King Rongmin and King Ge Wen cannot be compromised. The Crown Prince is dedicated to your father and is also dedicated to yourself. I hope the Crown Prince understands this."
"I understand, does the great shaman think that I am a three-year-old child?" Gao Bin raised a playful smile on his lips and said: "It's just that I am very curious about my brother-in-law. He is only eighteen years old and has done this.
There are many things. Gee, this really makes me very curious."
Yimo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please put away your curiosity. I have divined this person several times, but I can't see anything. It's as if I have been abandoned by God, which is scary. Your Majesty, please don't be so easy.
Provoke him, otherwise there will be consequences that are really unexpected."
"What consequences will there be for a criminal who has been imprisoned? I am an envoy from Goguryeo, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to do anything to me. The great shaman was too cautious."
"Prince——"
"No need to say more, my prince is going out to watch a play. There is a new play in Lichun Court every day, and there will be no waiting after the show is over. The great shaman should rest early. I have my own opinion!"
Gao Bin stood up and left. Yimo looked at Gao Bin's back and murmured: "In the luck, there is a trace of blood bursting out. Alas, he really shouldn't be allowed to come!" After that, Yimo
Then he kept reciting the scriptures that others could not understand, and walked back to his room step by step with a willow crutch.
…
"Get out of here, it's almost dark, I'm off work!"
A violent shout rang out, and Li Mu walked out of the prison angrily. Seeing him coming out, the prison boss said with a flattering look on his face: "Master, today is over early. The food and drinks will be here soon, and they are already on the way."
"Okay." Li Mu threw a gold ingot casually, and the prison boss quickly picked it up. The father-in-law is generous, and any one of them is worth ten taels of gold. Now he is beginning to feel the benefits of Li Mu's imprisonment here, and the extra money for this day
, there is more money than having to detain other annoying people for ten days. How can the father-in-law be so rich? With such a patron, I can tolerate even a bad temper.
Across the covered bridge, we came to the backyard. It was originally a duty room for Dali Temple officials, but now it has been cleared out and given to Li Mu. Li Mu works in the cell during the day and sleeps here at night. Sun Fujia just thinks
I didn't see it. Anyway, Eunuch Gao comes here every day. If His Majesty doesn't agree, Eunuch Gao will take charge of it. He has already thought about moving Dali Temple to Chang'an County for a few days to deal with it. Anyway, most of the prisoners are now
They are all detained in cells in Chang'an County.
"Husband, you are back."
"Um."
Seeing Li Mu enter the room, Bai Qiaoqiao put down the book in her hand. Now her belly has grown, and her movement has become inconvenient. She also has a restless temper, so she has to read to pass the time. Li Zhien taught her,
Basically, I already know the commonly used words, so there is no obstacle to reading.
Li Mu climbed onto the bed and glanced at the book Bai Qiaoqiao was reading. It was a book called "Women's Rules". This was a book written by Empress Changsun. The content was a collection of outstanding deeds of ancient women. They were roughly some personal servants.
The purpose of these short stories is to educate the women of the world. When Li Mu was still in Chang'an, Empress Changsun found him and told him that she wanted to write a book.
There was no money in the palace, so the implication was that she wanted Li Mu to pay for her to publish the book.
Naturally, Li Mu would not care about other people's affairs, but the affairs of Queen Changsun were a different matter. Before Li Mu left, he specifically asked Ergou to use 10,000 yuan from the income of Sihai Gambling House to finance this matter.
When the Printing Bureau had funds, it naturally started engraving and printing. In less than a month, more than 10,000 books were printed. Empress Changsun gave the book to the wives who had imperial orders. Bai Qiaoqiao was of the third grade, so naturally she also had
One book.
"Why are you looking at this?"
"The queen gave me a book, so naturally I have to read it carefully." Bai Qiaoqiao helped Li Mu undress. After staying in the cell for a day, his body was covered with dust and he needed to put on clean clothes. In fact, Li Mu didn't agree with this.
It was so dusty and windy that he didn't change a single piece of clothing in the desert for a month, but when he got home he was still very particular about it.
But considering the child in Bai Qiaoqiao's belly, the trouble becomes troublesome.
Li Mu took off his clothes and said: "I mean, it's useless for you to look at it. My mother is in the Tang Mansion and I don't need you to take care of me. I'm all alone. I don't have a sister-in-law to fight with you or a sister-in-law to trouble you -
—Eh? That being said, madam, do you think it would be quite worry-free to marry me?"
"Why don't you worry about it?" Bai Qiaoqiao snorted lightly and said, "You don't have the worries you mentioned, but do you have few things to worry about?"
"..." Li Mu was knocked out instantly and didn't know what to say. Bai Qiaoqiao gently held his hand and said: "Husband, Zhien went shopping, and he's not here. It's just the two of us. Please tell me something."
To be honest, is everything really okay this time?"
"Oh, what can happen?" Li Mu wrote lightly: "Isn't it just the matter between me and Ou that your Majesty knows about? How can it happen? Just because of such a thing, he killed me? Do you still think about it?
Being a wise king is really..."
Bai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and said: "Husband, please don't say soothing words to me. If it's really that simple, why didn't Sister Tianai and Sister Ou come with you this time? In your heart,
