Chapter 329: Buying a Horse
Now out of the state, the fish and dragons are mixed, the world is chaotic, and there are huge business opportunities, so it has attracted many people to come to do business, and the stream is endless, innumerable.
Even the trading houses of Kyoto, not to mention neighboring Heizhou, came.
Therefore, Liang Huaji took this as the name, saying that they were the businessmen of Pingzhou and the people of the Gu family.
Pingzhou is so big, whether there is a Gu family or not, and how can anyone know?
This general is just a military general guarding the door, and has not yet sat in the position of general, and now he is called a general, and he is extremely useful.
He took the cloth bag handed over by Liang Huaji, weighed it in his hand, it was very heavy, and then opened it, and saw that it was full of silver with white flowers, not to mention hundreds of taels, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
However, his face did not show the slightest expression, he remained silent, his eyes fell on Gu Heng's body, and he said: "Pingzhou Gu family, you are from Pingzhou, there are so many cities where you can buy horses, why did you come to Huoyun City?"
He took the money, but did not get out of the way, and let them pass.
"That's right, our son traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and heard that this Huoyun City has a special geography, beautiful scenery, and a unique style, so he traveled here, so he decided to buy a good horse in Huoyun City and return to Pingzhou. ”
Liang Huaji's thinking kept running in his mind, he coped with it freely, and his answers did not have any flaws, showing extremely high intelligence.
"Then do you have any documents issued by the imperial court?" the general did not doubt Liang Huaji's words, and asked instead.
"Passage order?" Everyone was stunned, as if they didn't know, they hadn't heard of any passage documents needed to enter the city.
"As you know, Lizhou is now in chaos, cults are rampant, and witches are brutal, so people who come to Lizhou to do business must first go to the imperial court for the record, and issue a business document, with this document, you can enter and exit the various cities in Lizhou, and do business here. ”
The general spoke, looking selfless and selfless, acting according to the rules.
"Our Gu family is a family of merchants, the family is big, of course, there are business documents issued by the imperial court, but this business documents are in our lord's place, and the son came to Lizhou to buy horses this time, which was a whim and a sudden decision, so he did not take the business documents from our lord. ”
Meng Chang stood up at this time and spoke.
"I'm afraid this won't work, you don't have business documents, you can't enter Huoyun City, this is a rule set by the imperial court, no one can break it, you still have to bring the business documents, I can let you into the city." ”
The general said resolutely, as if there was no room for negotiation,
When several people heard this, they were secretly anxious in their hearts, if they couldn't buy horses, then how could they go to Nanyang City?
Meng Chang couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't wait to immediately burst out and kill this general.
This general, but the second step of the martial arts master, Tiger Leopard Lei Yin, with his strength and the distance between the two, he can completely give him a fatal blow and will not miss.
But for the sake of the big picture, he endured it anyway.
"General, please be accommodating, we will go in and buy enough horses, and leave at once, no more than an hour at most. As Liang Huaji spoke, he handed over a cloth bag again.
He was active, and felt that since this general had accepted his bribes, he was by no means selfless and meticulous on the surface, and acted according to the rules, as if he was deliberately making things difficult and wanted to get more benefits from them.
Sure enough, he handed over the bag full of silver, and the general took it naturally, and then finally relented: "It's not impossible to let you into the city, but I have to take a huge risk, there are many people, and I need to go up and down thoroughly, so you can pay a thousand taels of silver for the purpose of dotting." ”
This general, the lion opened his mouth, took them two bags of money, and asked them to take out 1,000 taels of silver, which is simply an inch.
The Central Dynasty did record those merchants who came to Lizhou to do business, and issued a business pass document, they just came to Huoyun City to buy horses, and did not pull goods to sell here, in fact, there are loopholes to be drilled, this business pass document can be noted, only need to pay a certain fee, you can enter.
This general who defended the city regarded them as wronged and wanted to slaughter them fiercely.
"Looking for death, do you want to blackmail our silver?" When Meng Chang heard this, he immediately became angry, couldn't suppress it, and broke out.
Bell! Bell......
In an instant, the soldiers defending the city rushed forward and surrounded them, each armed with a large sword, and the blades were facing each other.
Click......
Even above the tower, there was the sound of a crossbow pulling, and the bowstring was pulled apart by several soldiers, and the huge crossbow arrows were aimed at them.
The scene changed suddenly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
It seemed that the next moment, there would be a tragic massacre, and the city gates would be stained with blood.
"Hmph! Who dares to be presumptuous in Huoyun City? You people, who don't have the documents to do business, actually want to trespass into Huoyun City? Today, the city lord is going to hold a birthday banquet in the city lord's mansion, and I see that you are all followers of the cult, and you want to take the opportunity to make trouble, so you will arrest me all and interrogate me strictly. ”
The general's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he became ruthless and iron-blooded, and his voice was so powerful that he actually framed them as cult believers in full view of everyone, and wanted to arrest all of them and send them to prison, which was very vicious and insidious.
Unscrupulous, lawless!
Everyone's face changed.
Even Gu Heng didn't expect such a change, they just came to Huoyun City to buy horses, and then went to Nanyang City, they didn't want to make trouble, let alone confront the officers and soldiers of the Central Imperial City.
This situation was unexpected.
He was quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and finally spoke: "This general, dare to ask what to call it?"
"Contemptible Gantang!"
"General Gan, if you have something to say, isn't it just a thousand taels of silver, why bother to make a big fuss?" Gu Heng said with a pleasant face, ready to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and ask for a harmony.
This Gan Tang is obviously blackmailing them with money, but what can be solved with money is not called a matter.
He made a look, and a young man next to him took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and handed it over.
There were ten silver tickets, each of which was a face value of a hundred taels of silver, just one thousand taels of silver.
This young man, called "Zhuo Yu", was a middle-grade master who controlled the flying sword, and he had a storage bag left by Jiang Yi for them, which contained a large amount of money, pills, and other cultivation resources.
Gan Tang watched Gu Heng take out a thousand taels of silver tickets so refreshingly, a look of greed flashed in his eyes, and he didn't take the silver ticket handed over, but said in a cold voice: " It was 1,000 taels of silver just now, but now it has changed, it's 5,000 taels of silver, about you just listened to me, today the city lord is going to hold a birthday banquet in the city lord's mansion, and officials of all sizes will participate, and if you have any good things on you, you must also dedicate them, and I will help you transfer them to the city lord, so that you can naturally enjoy different treatment in Huoyun City, and it will be unimpeded. ”
Another lion with a big mouth!
One thousand taels of silver, it can't even satisfy Gan Tang's appetite, and if he doesn't squeeze Gu Heng's group of people dry, he won't give up.
Gan Tang is a sanctimonious person, who simply interprets the greed of human nature to the extreme, and his ugly face is very disgusting.
"Gantang, greed is not enough to swallow elephants, do you really think that we are wronged, and we can only let you blackmail and slaughter?"
Gu Heng completely saw through this person, and no longer chose to back down and compromise, but suddenly became stronger, and let out a loud shout: "Our Gu family, although it is a merchant family, but it is friendly with the Pingzhou Governor's Mansion, and it is also connected with many wealthy and powerful families in Kyoto, I don't know how much silver to send every year to activate the relationship, although it is not in power, but it can also ask a few imperial historians to do things, just a piece of complaint, can let you, together with the lord of Huoyun City, fall off the horse together, suffer from prison, and kill yourself, do you believe it or not?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and a powerful momentum erupted from his body, pressing towards Gan Tang fiercely.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
In today's situation, it is definitely not possible to swallow your anger, and if you don't show a little toughness, you really have to be treated as a soft persimmon and take it at will.
If it weren't for this Huoyun City, he wouldn't have to talk so much nonsense at all, he would have killed the other party directly, and he would have killed it in one hundred.
It's a pity that the big thing is important, and I can't be impulsive and mess around.
Pedal Pedal !!
Gan Tang didn't seem to expect Gu Heng to suddenly erupt, and he was startled on the spot, and his body fell backwards again and again.
"I, I, I ......"
Under this powerful momentum, in the midst of this fierce questioning, his face was sluggish, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly.
He is not even a general, just a small general who guards the city, and his status is very low, but he also knows the prestige of those imperial historians, and even the princes and generals dare to impeach him, let alone him.
Once Huoyun City is attacked by the Imperial Historian, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried, and even the city lord will suffer.
"Speak, why don't you speak, weren't you very arrogant in front of my son just now?
If it weren't for the great reliance, these words would not have been uttered at all, and there would have been no such momentum.
But Gu Heng was fake, these words were all fabricated by him at will, and he was not a merchant family in Pingzhou at all, and he had nothing to do with the Central Dynasty.
However, he is the son of the Great Departure from the Country, born in a wealthy family, if the Great Departure is immortal, he can also be regarded as the son of a wealthy family, so he does not need any acting skills at all, and he is completely acting in his true colors.
