Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 453
Nangong Wentian was born in the Nangong family of Taishan Beidou level in the stone gambling world. He used to hang out in the south of the Great Qin and was a well-known stone gambling master in the Great Qin.

Later, he was invited to help out at Qingde Square in Chang'an, but he was too busy to help and got into a whole lot of trouble.

On that day, Wang Mang, accompanied by Li Zhe, gambled with Fang Qiu on stones. Nangong Wentian kept saying that the stone was waste, but Wang Mang asked Wang Mang to offer a spiritual stone worth ten thousand gold. With some leftovers, Nangong Wentian almost became a joke for a while.

Fortunately, Nangong Wentian is a master after all, with a profound background, and with the support of the Nangong family behind him, at least this matter did not spread.

But afterwards, Fang Qiu was killed by Wang Mang, Fang Qiu's father, Zuo Shilang of the Great Qin Household Department, and Fang Xizhi, known as the God of Wealth of the Great Qin Dynasty, were also killed, and Qingdefang was destroyed. Only then did Nangong Wentian know that he had bet with Fang Qiu Shi's was not Mr. Huang, a foreigner at all, but the Great Qin Emperor Wang Mang.

After knowing Wang Mang's identity, Nangong Wentian fled Chang'an City immediately and ran back to his hometown in the south, but soon learned that the four major Nanyang families that had dominated Nanyang for hundreds of years were also destroyed by Wang Mang. Nangong Wentian was frightened When he was about to die, he directly abandoned the foundation he had built in Daqin for most of his life, and ran all the way to Hanjiang City.

Hanjiang City has been at peace for a long time, and has not encountered war for many years, and it is located at the border of Daqin and Dahan, with many businessmen coming and going. At the same time, for Nangong Wentian, it is very close to Daqin, and it is very close to his own roots. Conveniently, Nangong Wentian lived in Hanjiang City with peace of mind, and gradually transferred his business from Daqin to Hanjiang City.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly, and Daqin and Dahan actually fought. Originally, the Han army continued to reinforce Hangu Pass and launched attacks on Hangu Pass one after another. There were constant news that Hangu Pass was about to be broken. Nangong Wentian was still very relieved Yes, but soon came the news that Shi Gandang's army had defeated Hangu Pass, and then Gongsun Yang led hundreds of thousands of troops to reinforce Hangu Pass and stabilized the situation. Nangong Wentian was dazzled by the series of news.

Finally, when Nangong Wentian woke up, he got the news that the Han army had defeated the Hangu Pass, where the Qin army beheaded 10 people, and Gongsun Yang fled back to Hanjiang City with tens of thousands of soldiers. It's not good, just about to leave, I found that Gongsunyang gave an order to enter and not to leave, and then the Qin army invaded Hanjiang City, Nangong Wentian couldn't run even if he wanted to, so he could only hide at home, thinking about himself As long as you don't show up, no one should find you.

In fact, if Wang Mang hadn't been wandering around Hanjiang City today, Nangong Wentian might have been able to escape, but who would have thought that Wang Mang would be free to go shopping.

Wang Mang looked at Nangong Wentian with a half-smile, and as soon as the clerk said that the owner of the store was Nangong Wentian, Wang Mang felt a familiar wave upstairs, and acquiesced to Li Lan's actions. Stop and run out by yourself.

When Nangong Wentian came downstairs, he kowtowed to Wang Mang with a bitter face, "Little Min Nangong Wentian has seen His Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

The clerk who was lying on the ground was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that among these seemingly noble Qin people, there was His Majesty the Emperor of Daqin. The clerk got up and knelt on the ground in fright. He heard the rumor that the Emperor of Daqin Your Majesty likes to eat people, but fortunately he is a man.

Wang Mang had no idea what the clerk was thinking, otherwise he would have ordered Li Lan to drag him down and chop him up immediately.

Wang Mang also didn't tell Nangong Wentian to get up, but looked at Nangong Wentian meaningfully and said, "During the Southern Expedition, I once asked someone to inquire about you. I only said that you traveled far away, but I didn't expect to be here This Hanjiang City has started a stone business, which is really good."

"Xiaomin is just eating for nothing." Nangong Wentian murmured, thinking that he was still running slowly, and he should run faster and run farther.

"Stay for dinner?" Wang Mang said with a chuckle, "Why did I hear that Master Nangong emptied your family property in Daqin, so you ran away?"

"How can there be, Xiaomin's ancestral home is Chu State, after the separation of the family, he has no fixed place to live. He settled in Daqin before, and now he came to Hanjiang City to beg for food." Nangong Wentian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Wang Mang said directly: "I think you are avoiding me?"

Without waiting for Nangong Wentian to speak, Wang Mang said again: "Don't deny it, I know that you were also an invisible honorary consultant of Qingdefang at that time, and you had a very close relationship with Qingdefang. Can you know who the boss behind Qingde Fang is, and now I just met you, can you answer my doubts?"

Nangong Wentian broke into a cold sweat immediately, and stammered, "I don't know about this Xiaomin. Xiaoming was invited by Fang Xizhi, so I put a name there. Normally, Xiaomin, who works in Qingdefang, doesn't know about it." Yes, and after Xiaomin met His Majesty that day, he deeply felt that Xiaomin was still lacking in the technology of identifying stones, so he left Qingde Fang and went home to study stones for the first time. What else did Xiaomin really do? Do not know at all."

"You are dishonest!" Wang Mang smiled and said, "I remember that Fang Xizhi left an account book before his death, saying that it was specially prepared for you in order to hire you Nangong Wentian as a consultant for Qingdefang. A thousand spirit stones are used as a betrothal gift. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, these spirit stones are stolen goods and must be confiscated. In addition, according to the law of the Qing Dynasty, those who accept the stolen goods will be subject to the same punishment, that is, except for confiscating a thousand spirit stones In addition, one thousand spirit stones will be punished, and it would be fine if I didn't see you, but now that I have seen you, then Master Nangong, hand over the stolen goods and the fine."

"Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? Xiaomin has never received Fang Xizhi's spirit stones." Nangong Wentian almost fainted when he heard that Wang Mang asked him for two thousand spirit stones.

"I may have made a mistake." Wang Mang's words fell into Nangong Wentian's ears. Nangong Wentian was overjoyed, but Wang Mang's subsequent words made him dumbfounded. At that time, I glanced at the account book and remembered it casually, maybe I had to check it carefully, maybe I gave Master Nangong two thousand dowries, maybe this is not the case, after all, Master Nangong is a famous master, so the dowry is naturally higher."

Nangong Wentian said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin only took ten spirit stones from Fang Xizhi, please check clearly!"

"I want to check clearly." Wang Mang nodded and said, "Everything must be based on the facts. That's it, Li Lan, please invite Master Nangong to return to the camp first. When I return to Chang'an, I will find Fang Xizhi. The ledger, when the time comes, it will be clear whether Fang Xizhi gave Master Nangong one thousand, two thousand or three thousand spirit stones."

"Your Majesty, there really isn't one." Nangong Wentian saw that Li Lan signaled his subordinates to come up to arrest him, and shouted, "Xiaomin remembered that Fang Xizhi gave Xiaomin Lingshi at that time, not ten pieces, but One hundred pieces, absolutely no more."

Speaking of one hundred spirit stones, Nangong Wentian was so distressed that he just wanted to vomit blood. This was Chi Guoguo's robbery.
