Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Chapter 283 A Merchant Unlike a Merchant

() While the governor of Kaifeng and the master were having a lot of headaches about this case, Chazi in black had already sent the information to Qian Gui's desk.

"How could such a thing happen?" Even Qian Gui was a little surprised. After all, a seven or eight-year-old child sneaked into the mansion to kill people. This kind of thing is beyond everyone's imagination.

But most importantly, Ximen Qing was involved.

I don't know why the Liang family is so sure that Ximen Qing has a great relationship with that child.

"There are not many people monitoring the Liang Mansion." The black-clothed chazi said with some regret: "After all, the main monitoring is the Shenxiao faction, and there are usually only one or two brothers watching over the Liang Mansion. It is true that I have seen this child before. .but only as an ordinary beggar."

Qian Gui shook his head and said, "You guys are not to blame for this matter. The most important thing now is to inform Master Ximen of this matter as soon as possible, and tell him the news in our hands completely. I believe Lord Ximen has his own way of handling it.”

"That Liang Le had conflicts with him, and it seems like he's going to make a big commotion. You tell Master Ximen, I need someone here, so just ask for anything!"

"Yes!" The black-clothed chazi's expression froze.

Ximen Qing is not at home at the moment. Since getting married, she has really been at home for a few days. She and Pan Jinlian and Xue'er are like twists and turns. They are always inseparable. .

Ximenqing passed by the backyard this morning, but heard the neighing of a horse. Seeing Shutong'er leading the tall horse for a walk in the backyard, he remembered this incident.

"I'm so obsessed with gentleness, I almost forgot about it!" Ximen Qing personally promised to send the horse back to Zhang Yu after the wedding, but unexpectedly he forgot all about it.

This piece of jade is also mysterious. Not only did he generously borrow a horse for Ximen Qing to use, but he also entrusted someone to send him a gift box, which actually contained a string of high-quality Hepu Nanzhu necklaces.

Although the pearls on this string of necklaces are not big in size, they are all round and of the same size. In the Northern Song Dynasty, they could be regarded as "walking beads"; of course, if they were artificially cultivated in later generations, they would not be considered valuable.

But these South Pearls are all fished out from the bottom of the sea by Hepu Danmin, and they are often exchanged for their lives. It is not easy to get so many of the same one, which shows its preciousness.

At that time, Ximen Qing and the magician Jiang Jing were both surprised when they saw the gift box, but they forgot about it when they got busy; now that they think about it, Ximen Qing feels that this piece of jade has an unusual background and is not an ordinary businessman. <, the big black horse is tied beside the cart, first come to the old Suanzao Gate to find Lu Zhishen.

When they arrived at the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, Ximen Qing and Wu Song let the boy watch the car outside the courtyard. When they came in, Lu Zhishen was posing in the garden, teaching those rascals some boxing skills.

"Senior brother really has a heart." Wu Song saw that those rogues who settled down were quite attentive, and said happily: "It must be for the examination of the Imperial City Secretary."

Lu Zhishen turned around and saw that it was Ximen Qing and Wu Song coming, and hurriedly responded: "Oh, these bird people are still hardworking, and if they don't pay attention, they can't stand it anymore. But this punch is so hard. Look, it's crooked and loose. , how decent it is!"

"At least they are new learners, let's give them more opportunities." Ximen Qing said with a smile that he was going to visit Zhang Yu and change horses by the way.

Lu Zhi nodded deeply and said: "That brother can be regarded as a straightforward person. He is willing to lend such a good horse to the Sa family just by chance. If he is in the world, he can be regarded as a hero!"

"You wait, wait until Sajia changes clothes before going to teach these bird people, Sajia is sweating!"

Seeing Lu Zhishen's bald and sweaty figure, Ximen Qing and Wu Song laughed; Lu Zhishen didn't want to avoid suspicion, went to the well and fetched two buckets of cold water, stripped naked and wiped his body before changing into another suit. The monk's clothes came out with Ximen Qing and Wu Song after a confession.

"The Sa family has something to do, you all practice hard, if anyone is lazy, the Sa family will break their legs with a Zen stick!"

Those rascals settled down first because they heard that they had the opportunity to enter the Imperial City Division, and second because they were really afraid of Lu Zhishen, so they all flattered and sent Lu Zhishen out of the garden.

"Brother, why are you still wearing a monk's robe? Could it be that you are greedy for recluses and are not willing to return to the vulgar?" Ximen Qing got into the carriage, seeing that Lu Zhishen was still dressed as a monk, he asked casually.

Lu Zhishen stroked his bald head and said, "Actually, I already told Abbot Zhiqing two days ago that I wanted to return the degree certificate. Who would have expected that bald donkey to push back and insist that the Sa family was born in Mount Wutai. Elder Yuan Zhizhen will do it."

"I heard that people like Elder Zhizhen and Living Buddha must visit once or twice if they have the opportunity." Ximen Qing thought for a while and said, "Anyway, Daxiangguo Temple can't control you, and that's the case if you still don't return to vulgarity. When I have time, I will go to Mount Wutai with you to pay homage to the living Buddha and discuss a future."

"The words of the senior officials are so serious." Lu Zhi sighed deeply: "When I was in Wenshu Monastery, all the monks in the temple treated the Sa family badly, only the elders treated the Sa family differently."

Ximenqing laughed when he heard this, you have destroyed all the pavilions in the middle of the mountain and King Kong at the mountain gate, except Elder Zhizhen who can bear it, who else can treat you well?

After hearing this, Wu Song also said: "Since that's the case, Wu Song will also go to the Living Buddha to ask about his future."

The three of them talked all the way, and when they arrived at the Wuzhang River, Hua Tong'er pointed at the horsewhip and said, "Master, there are horses drinking by the river over there, could it be that master's?"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing and others jumped out of the cart, and when they walked up to the front to look, there was indeed a group of about twenty or thirty horses drinking water by the river, and there were two riders beside them.

"The senior officials see that these horses are all very handsome." Lu Zhishen also pointed and said to Ximen Qing and Wu Song.

Ximenqing stood still, watched from a distance, and commented with Wu Song; the two riders must have seen someone coming from this side, so they flew out and came here.

Wu Song could see it clearly, wasn't it Zhang Yu who borrowed horses boldly? At that time, he looked like a businessman, but now he had changed into a strong outfit, and he was in high spirits on the horse.

"Although this person is a businessman, he has such good riding skills!"

Ximen Qing was slightly surprised, that Zhang Yu had already come to the front, got off the saddle and saluted: "I don't know who it is, so it's my lord! I've seen Lord Ximen, I've seen Lord Wu!"

Before Ximen Qing could speak, Lu Zhishen beside him burst into laughter: "You only have adults in your eyes, so you forgot about Sajia?"

That Zhang Yu took a good look, and recognized that Lu Zhishen was the one who used the horse back then, and said in amazement: "I didn't recognize him that day, so it turned out to be a master, a sin!"

Speaking of Zhang Yu's deep salute, Lu Zhishen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Why do you need to be so polite! You didn't know that Sajia changed into casual clothes that day."

Ximen Qing introduced Lu Zhishen: "I was a little anxious that day, and I didn't introduce it. This senior is surnamed Lu, and his Dharma name is superior wisdom and inferior deep."

"It turned out to be the famous Monk Hua!" Zhang Yu couldn't hide his surprise: "I didn't expect Zhang Yu to be so lucky to meet the master!"

Lu Zhi said a few words politely, Ximen Qing ordered Hua Tong'er to untie the big black horse and send it over: "Today, one is to return the horse, and the other is to discuss something with you. It is not a respect to send two altars of fine wine!"

"My lord, Chuuxue Building is booming recently!" Zhang Yu said, "There is a temporary tent next to the horse pen over there, please go to that room to talk!"

After walking to the stables, there were more than 100 fine horses inside, and there were indeed two or three huge tents on one side, which reminded Ximenqing of his short military camp life when Liangshan attacked Zengtou City. After entering the tent and sitting down, he asked the servants to bring tea: "The conditions here are simple, there is only some crude tea, I'm neglecting the three of you!"

"You're just being too polite. There aren't any adults here today. You and I are about the same age, so we can call each other brothers!" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "No matter how adults come and go, you won't be able to talk."

Zhang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled in the blink of an eye and said, "Brother has the cheek to say so."

"That's right." Lu Zhishen took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Otherwise, there would be no way to talk."

Ximen Qing also picked it up and took a sip. After thinking for a while, he asked, "I saw that there are many good horses here, brother. Even in Bianliang City, it is rare to see such a horse. Could it be that they all come from the northern land? Merchants are always buying and selling, but brother It’s not easy to transport horses from thousands of miles, don’t blame me for talking too much, how much profit can I make?”

"Indeed, this Xiaoma dealer came here first to find an opportunity to sell to those dignitaries, and second, to the cavalry in the Imperial Army." Zhang Yu replied calmly: "To be honest, neither of these places cares too much about the price. This The horses bought from Beidi range from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-] guan, why don't you guess how much it will cost to sell to others?"

Lu Zhishen interjected: "At least one hundred guan? Otherwise, I'm afraid my brother will suffer."

Zhang Yu shook his head with a smile, stretched out three fingers and said, "If you sell it to the Imperial Army, it should be at least this amount. As for the high-ranking officials, it depends on the bid. Maybe there are thousands of guan."

Zhang Yu's three fingers naturally represented the three hundred guan. This price made Ximen Qing secretly gasp.

The cavalry team in the imperial army is at least tens of thousands, and the cost of buying and raising horses must be astronomical.

Even for Liangshan's blood-blowing pro-soldiers, taking 500 people as an example, they would need at least more than [-] guns!

Ximenqing didn't expect that buying a good horse in the Northern Song Dynasty would cost such a price.

"Brother, give me all these horses." Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder if it will be cheaper?"

Zhang Yu's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and he stood up and said, "If my brother promises me one thing, not to mention these more than 100 horses, even more brothers will give it away for free!"

"How do you say that?" Ximen Qing suddenly felt something was wrong.

The behavior of this piece of jade is too unlike a businessman!

What Ximen Qing and others didn't expect was that Zhang Yu took two steps, turned around and knelt down in front of the three of them with a "plop"!The fastest way to read novels is Master, all on Kanshula.com, welcome to log in.kanshu.la to read the full text!
