The Lofty Fierce Consort - Chapter 114
Shen Dong has thought about it, it may be a trap, but Yan Ting has something to do with his family after all, so after thinking about it, he went.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a shameless appearance. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, so he can’t find it even if he is thrown into the crowd.
When Shen Dong saw him, he couldn’t help but wonder, is this the chief treasurer of the “General”?
“I heard that you want to see me, just say anything.”
The shopkeeper’s hands were tied behind his back. Because he saw Shen Dong, his treatment was improved a bit. He was given a chair to sit on, but his legs were also tied.
He lifted his tied leg and motioned for him to loosen it.
A soldier next to the tiger stared, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Dong’s wave.
“I don’t have much patience. Just talk about it. Don’t worry about him. I may not want to listen to you again in the next moment.” Shen Dong said.
The shopkeeper’s mouth still smiled decently, but his face stiffened, and then he said: “I have heard about the prestige of General Xuanwei, and I see it today. I am just a businessman, and I don’t need to be treated like a beast. I can’t martial.”
Shen Dong moved his hand slightly, pressing down the movements of the soldiers beside him.
He nodded and looked at the treasurer and said: “People who know me know that I hate people using aggressive methods to me. Usually at this time, I will do it instead. So if you have anything to say, you’d better say it, don’t Waste my time.”
“You are not curious how did I know Yan Ting?”
“I’m quite curious. If I’m not curious, I won’t come over to see you.”
“I saw General Xuanwei seemed very calm…”
Shen Dong stood up and walked away from the door. As he walked, he explained to the soldiers around him that this group of people did not stay alive according to the law.
The big treasurer’s voice finally seemed a little hasty, “Why is General Xuanwei so impatient?”
Shen Dong stood still and glanced at him sideways.
He was in his forties, he was of medium height, white temples, and very gentle in appearance. If he only looked at his appearance, he would think he was a scholar from somewhere. But his tall and straight posture and full of iron and blood, he tells people that this is a battle-tested general who has spent his entire life on the battlefield.
Especially his indifferent glance, a mighty air pounced on his face, so that the big shopkeeper could not regenerate the slightest contempt mentality.
He condensed slightly, his face solemnly said: “There are some things I want to tell General Xuanwei, I think the general must be interested in listening.”
Shen Dong turned around, sitting on the chair with a golden sword.
“Say it.”
“Trouble the general back and forth.” Seeing Shen Dong frowning, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained: “If the general listened to what I was going to say next, I must think like I am.”
Shen Dong waved his hand, and the soldiers around him all stepped back, and when they went out, they also helped to close the door.
“The general should know that when we are in this line of business, we are all heads up. We all say that our businessmen are chasing profits, but in fact they are just eating a meal…”
Shen Dong waved his hand impatiently, “Talking about the topic.”
The shopkeeper seemed a little embarrassed, “Since the general has sat down, why not listen to the next words.”
Shen Dong stared at him in vain and smiled coldly, “Do you know what I hate most in my life? What is my biggest wish?”
Before anyone could answer, he said again: “The most annoying thing is Beiyi, and the biggest wish is that Beiyi will not invade again. But you people are Beiyi’s accomplices, let alone begging for food. Knowing that the imperial court is embargoed, I still smuggled goods over there with my head. According to Daxi’s law, it is regarded as treason, and the crime is punishable!”
After hearing these words, the treasurer could no longer stabilize his chaotic mood. Even though he could still smile on the face of his city mansion, his eyes flashed quickly.
“Your “General” is notorious at Pingsha Pass. I believe you will not understand what the ironware you smuggled in the past is used for. You also understand why the Chaotang is embargoed. As Daxi’s People, don’t you wait for the country to be the priority, and for some petty gains, you actually colluded with the enemy camp privately. You guys who exchanged money for the blood and tears of my Daxi people, are you not afraid of nightmares when you spend it? Your parents and children know you. Are you a traitor? What face do you have to face them, to face the civilians who have been plundered by the northern barbarian and their wives are scattered!”
Shen Dong asked this question, and each sentence stuck in the heart of the shopkeeper.
His chest was undulating violently to the naked eye, sweat beads gathered on his forehead, and his expression gradually became frantic. He struggled to make a profit, but his hands and feet were tied up, and he collapsed weakly in a chair.
“Don’t say you officials are so polite! Know why Beiyi has been fighting back? Not only my “Guangyi” family banned for petty gains, there are too many merchants doing this! I admit Xuanwei below. General, you are loyal and courageous, and you are a good man. Doesn’t it mean that everyone in the world is like you!”
The shopkeeper’s eyes were scary red, and he sneered: “It’s in vain that General Xuanwei has guarded Pingshaguan for decades, and there are so many people who support him. You probably didn’t expect that, your good brother-in-law Yan Ting is one of us traitors. One!”
“what did you say?!”
Shen Dong stood up in shock, kicked the square chair behind him, and made a loud noise.
Someone outside the door eagerly called the general general, Shen Dong took a deep breath, and said to the door that there was nothing wrong.
The room fell silent again, and the needle dropped.
Shen Dong stared at him straight, not letting the slightest expression on his face.
“You will say that again!”
The shopkeeper smiled triumphantly, “You think I’m a merchant, how can I know the brother-in-law of General Xuanwei. That’s because I didn’t have a good relationship with him, although I haven’t met him! Back then, Yan Ting sent someone privately to consign me to transport a batch of ironware. Wrong, it is not iron, but the arrow that makes Beiyi people coveted more than iron, and even helps me smooth the way. General Xuanwei, why do you think the smuggling caravans you seized are rare in the past two years? Ironware, and it seems that the shotgun has been changed from the shotgun to Beiyi? That is all the credit of your good brother-in-law!”
He tutted twice, “The arrows of nearly ten cars are enough for the people of Beiyi to use for several years. If it weren’t for someone to open the way, my’Guangdong’ would not have the ability to transport the prohibited items out of the barrier and pick it up. The Beiyi people who bought the goods were almost crazy with joy.”
“You dare to talk nonsense?”
This sentence, word by word, popped out of Shen Dong’s teeth.
“This kind of big lie doesn’t have the ability to talk about it. He Yan Ting thinks that he is careful, and there are no loopholes. Under the commander, the idiot on the opposite side told us about it. After all, we have been cooperating with them for so long, and we have transported things over. He knows everything he can say. Do you want to know what your brother-in-law did when transporting that arrow in the past? It is estimated that if you don’t say anything next time, you I can’t think of the reason for a lifetime.”
“you said!”
The big shopkeeper smiled again, “Your brother-in-law wants to be promoted and wants to be crazy, and he actually colludes with Beiyi in delusion to make military exploits. The arrow of the top ten carts will exchange the lives of two thousand people in Beiyi. Two thousand heads are estimated to be enough for you. That brother-in-law has been appointed as an official. It’s a pity that people are not as good as the sky. Before they call over there, your good brother-in-law was transferred back to the capital, and Beiyi got a lot of good things for nothing.”
“So, General Xuanwei, you’d better let it go. Since you dared to make this trip, it is of course not without support. If something goes wrong on my side, as long as my subordinates have not seen me return for ten days, they will Stabbed these things out directly. Those of us who do small business are just for food. Your brother-in-law smuggling ordnance is a real treason. The crime of treason is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan. What you said just now , Return them one by one at the next time!”
This is also the reason why the shopkeeper dared to make this trip in person. As soon as this transaction was so important, he had to make a trip in person. Secondly, it was also because he himself held the gold medal for immunity from death. With this handle alone, he believed that Shen Dong did not dare to do anything to him.
This big shopkeeper has always been cautious, and the smuggling convoy of Guangyi has not been caught in the past, but no one has ever figured out the name of the big shopkeeper of Guangyi. But this time, the big shopkeeper also has a lot of layouts, but it is a pity that he ran into Shen Dong, who had always not played cards according to the card.
As the military officer of the entire Pingsha Pass, Shen Dong usually ignores these smuggling incidents. It’s a pity that the big shopkeeper was smart and wide-ranging this time. The movement was so loud that it aroused his idea. Then I heard the people below say that this time the big shopkeeper of the general number will go out in person. He simply gathered all the people and gave it to him. .
The shopkeeper sneered, looking at the unpredictable general in front of him.
With a ‘pop’, the armrest of Shen Dong’s square chair was broken.
He stood up, took a condescending look at the shopkeeper, then turned and went out.
“Watch him, shut his mouth!”
…
Running back and forth from Pingshaguan to Beijing on the tenth was indeed a bit difficult.
Fortunately, there will be a room stationed at the border in the town’s government office throughout the year. For the convenience of communication, there is also a special channel for sending letters.
Shen Dong’s secret letter was quickly sent to the government of the town, causing an uproar throughout the government.
Lord Zhen Guo shut himself in the study for nearly an hour before he walked out of it.
Shen Ding looked anxious, “Father, what can I do about this? This **** Yan Ting, dare to do such a thing!”
At the same time, at Pingsha Pass, Shen Dong also met with the shopkeeper again in private, and found out the other party’s intentions.
Knowing the other’s intentions made Shen Dong look extremely ugly.
It turned out that the big shopkeeper would take this trip in person, not without reason.
The “Guangyi” traded with Beiyi this time is a batch of arrows and armors that were obtained from nowhere. The Beiyi clan got the arrow of Yan Ting, and did not dare to try to invade Daxi easily, so they turned their heads to beat the small countries of the Western Regions and the Raksha Kingdom, looting countless rare treasures, and now they are fat and oily.
With money, I naturally want to replace equipment. Beiyi didn’t have the craftsmanship for forging, and he faced Daxi on weekdays. The Beiyi cavalry was wearing leather armor. This time, he acquired a large number of ordnance, and his intention was self-evident. This Beiyi has always coveted the abundance of the Central Plains, just like a cockroach that never kills.
And the big shopkeeper’s request is to let him go and let this batch of ordnance pass customs.
But how could Shen Dong agree to this matter?
The Shen family has been loyal to the country through dynasties and hated the treason the most in life, so how could it be possible for him to take that step by himself. Especially if this large amount of ordnance were to flow into Beiyi again, it would really make the dying struggling Beiyi resurrect. The hard work of Zhen Guogong and Shen Dong over the past few decades was all in vain and ignored the lives of countless soldiers who had previously sacrificed for them.
Of course, Shen Dong was not a fool either. He showed hesitation and delayed the ten-day limit.
The big shopkeeper also knew that ten days was a bit short. After all, Pingshaguan was tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and it didn’t take enough time to walk for one and a half months. But he was also afraid of chaos for a long time, and set a period of one and a half months.
With the handle of the Shen family in his hand, the treasurer became a guest from a prisoner, and of course he also sent someone to send a letter back to say the message that he was temporarily unharmed.
Press not to mention.
The town government’s mansion was also in a state of exhaustion.
Collusion with the enemy country is a serious crime for the Jiu Clan. Because Yan Ting is the son-in-law of the Zhenguo Gongfu, the Zhenguo Gongfu is also implicated. Moreover, it is no longer something that Shen Yiyao and Yan Ting can resolve by reconciling. Yan Ting was the border gate that the Lord Zhen Guo personally took. What he did at the border gate is naturally not something that can be cleared without knowing it.
But if they agree to the conditions of the treasurer of the “General”, the people of the Shen family believe that this time is definitely not the end, and that there will be endless disasters in the future. It is impossible to agree to this condition.
This is an insoluble knot! ?
