Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 248
"That's right!" Gui Shiyun nodded: "I came here this time, and I never thought I could go back alive. If Wang Langjun can take the lives of the two thieves and avenge me, then the relic is in your pocket. Otherwise, the concubine's life is desirable, but it is absolutely impossible to get the relic!"

"Changdi's Hua, Ebuwei. All people today are like brothers. The prestige of death and mourning is brother Kong Huai. The original Xie is gone, and the brother is begging." (From "Shi Changdi", the chanting is the brother Interested readers can check the meaning of this poem on Baidu) Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Ma'am, if I have such an elder brother who is killed by others, I will risk my life and avenge him! "

"So, you agree!" Gui Shiyun was overjoyed upon hearing this, and wanted to bow down.

"Wait a minute, how can I agree to this kind of thing!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Sangqiu, you arrange a quiet place for this lady in Zhouliu City, and find two trustworthy women to wait on her, don't let others know !"

"Here!" Sancho responded, and led Gui Shiyun out of the tent, leaving only the treasure box and the black-toothed Changzhi behind.

"Joining the army, are you really going to kill Fuyu Fengzhang and Fuyu Zhongsheng because of this woman?" Hei Chi Chang Zhi asked.

"It's too early to say these things now, and these two haven't fallen into our hands now, are they?" Wang Wenzuo took out a string of east beads from the wooden box and looked at the firelight: "Changzhi, do you think this What is the shape and color of the beads? How much are they worth?"

Heizhi Changzhi was stunned, he couldn't keep up with Wang Wenzuo's train of thought at all, and after a while he replied: "This string of beads is all top-grade, especially the similar shape and size, which is even more rare. , it's worth three or four hundred copper coins!"

"Only three or four hundred strings?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Did you know? If it were in Chang'an City, the price of this string of beads would be tenfold!"

"If it's in Chang'an City, it's natural! Otherwise, why would merchants travel across the ocean and work so hard!"

"Changzhi, just accept this one!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly sent the beads to Heizhi Changzhi.

"Give it to me?" Hei Chi Chang Zhi was slightly taken aback.

"Not bad, don't you want?"

Looking at Wang Wenzuo's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, a thought suddenly flashed in Hei Chi Changzhi's mind: only he, Wang Wenzuo, and Sang Qiu knew what happened just now, except for Gui Shiyun. If this string of beads is not accepted, Wang Wenzuo will not dare to take this box of belongings, let alone the agreement with Gui Shiyun.Thinking of this, he hurriedly took the string of beads with both hands, bowed his knees and bowed down: "Thank you, Wang Junjun, for your reward!"

"What kind of rewards are not rewards!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and helped the black-toothed Changzhi up: "This property is not mine either. As the saying goes, whoever sees it has a share. When Sancho comes back, I will let him choose one he likes." things, but this thing is a bit eye-catching, you have to put it away!"

"This subordinate understands!" Hei Chi Changzhi knew that he had guessed right, and carefully put away the beads: "Please rest assured that you are joining the army, this subordinate has no other skills, but you still have a tight mouth!"

"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "You have seen it just now. I am not greedy for this box of property. It's just that this relic is involved in the Chang'an Palace. If there is any mistake, we will all die. This matter No one can know, even Governor Liu is the same, understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Hei Chi Changzhi hurriedly lowered his head, he only realized now that when Gui Shiyun first took out the box of jewels, Wang Wenzuo didn't care, but when he mentioned the whereabouts of the relics later, Wang Wenzuo's attitude Only then did it change.Apparently Wang Wenzuo wasn't greedy for the box of jewels, but only accepted the box of jewels when he heard about the whereabouts of the relic.As for using the string of beads to seal his mouth, it was because if the news leaked out, it would be difficult not to be involved in the relics, and if things in the palace were spoiled, everyone would be doomed.

"Okay, you go back first!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand, signaling Hei Chi Changzhi to back down.

"Here!"

As the curtain was lowered, Wang Wenzuo's expression became gloomy.He originally thought that the matter of the relic had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect to bump into it again by accident. Could it be that he has a constant connection with this Buddha treasure in the dark?First Liu Yuanzhen, and then Gui Shiyun, they all took the initiative to find him and get entangled with him.

"Why don't you just send a few people to arrest that ghost and torture him severely, asking about the whereabouts of the relic? Then secretly send someone to fetch it!"

A thought flashed through Wang Wenzuo's mind, and he shook his head immediately, denying it.This method seems to be the simplest and most direct method, but it is also the method that leaves no room for retreat. Seeing Gui Shiyun's appearance, after experiencing the hardship of losing her brother, she can no longer be regarded as an ordinary woman .Since she dared to come, she must have a backhand to guard against. If this clue is broken, it will be difficult to find it again.It's better to put him under house arrest first, slowly inquire about the truth, and make a claim.As for the lives of Fuyu Fengzhang and Fuyu Zhongsheng, Wang Wenzuo knew that it depended on luck, he could only kill anyone if he wanted to, so he could only play by ear.

"Lang Jun, I'm back!" Sancho's voice sounded.

"Well, everything is arranged?"

"It's been arranged. It's in the house on the west side of Zhouliu City near the city wall. The woman I'm taking care of belongs to my mother-in-law's family. I've told you all about it!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "You pick a few more careful people from the Japanese who surrendered to us, and live next to that house, guarding them day and night, understand?"

"Understood!" Sancho nodded: "I'll arrange it later!"

"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the wooden box: "Go inside and pick something you like, remember, the things just now must not be leaked!"

Sancho didn't refuse, he went straight to the wooden box and took out a gold necklace: "If my wife has a handle, give her this chain!"

Wang Wenzuo walked to the wooden box. Only now did he have time to carefully estimate the value of the belongings in the box. Based on his previous experience in arms trading with Hei Chi Changzhi, he made a rough estimate that the box of jewelry was worth eighty to ninety thousand. It is not uncommon for it to be doubled seven or eight times if it is brought back to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty.According to Cui Hongdu's prediction not long ago that Wang Wenzuo could be promoted to Yifu Zhechong, a fifth-rank official, the Lumi, land rent, salary, and miscellaneous items received in one month at that time would be about fifty or sixty. , less than six or seven hundred per year.Of course, if you are a civil servant, especially a foreign official, you must have various other incomes, but it can be seen that [-] to [-] guan can be said to be a "huge sum".
