Chapter 60: Tumen Inn

Although the Tumen Inn is called an inn, it looks like a small city and is quite prosperous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as you enter the city, you will listen to all kinds of shouting and selling, countless merchants and hawkers spread blankets on the spot and put on the items for sale to be considered open, there are also shelves, carts pushed, all kinds of forms, all kinds of strange objects, even if you have seen the most prosperous county Jingdong City, I am afraid you will be impressed, after all, the things sold here are unusual, and the utility function is unheard of.

Aphrodisiacs, terrifying poisons, poppies, seeds of poison arrows, colorful snakes and insects, hidden weapons of unknown materials, and weapons with unique shapes...... These things occupy the vast majority of the market, but there are very few stalls in this market, which should be common, and the market that fills the center of the town is a black market at all.

What surprised the prince the most was the clearly marked price of slaves and livestock in the market, people and animals stayed together, locked in iron cages and sold on behalf of others, looking mostly aliens, but there were also black-haired and yellow-skinned Han people.

The prince's face was not good, and he called Du Xun, who was walking in front and leading the way, and asked him to give an explanation why the people of Dayong were captured as slaves here, but Yingzhou and Shuofang did not rectify it.

Du Xun, who was looking left and right to choose a weapon, suddenly felt a shadow behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the prince's dripping face, and looked at the prince's eyes, which were large iron cages less than an adult's height, with countless slaves lying or squatting inside, and more than a dozen people were crowded in the cramped space.

"This ...... Your Royal Highness, it's not that General Qi and I don't care about this place, but the Han people locked up here all have a deed of sale with a handprint, as well as the seal of the government, which is indeed legal, probably losing all the family property in the gambling house and taking his life. ”

Du Xun complained bitterly in his heart, he was just a lieutenant of Yingzhou, and there was a thorn sent by Gyeonggi on it, the boundary of Tumen Inn belonged to both Yingzhou and Shuofang, and the prince couldn't confront his father-in-law, so he glared at him angrily, Du Xun directed and acted in a scene of "strong bandits oppressing good people" in his heart, almost a handful of old tears.

It is also credible to say that gamblers are detained, after all, gambling is a desperate job, families are ruined, wives are separated, and it is not impossible to be taken into slaves, but the Han people in the cage are not only adults, but also children and children, gambling at such an age is obviously impossible, so Du Xun's explanation is not complete.

The prince didn't answer Du Xun after hearing this, nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue, Du Xun saw that the prince was unwilling to let go of this matter easily, so he had to say carefully:

"Your Highness also knows that there is a history of assassination in Yingzhou, and some things are not under my jurisdiction, Lao Du, I have no evidence and I can't say anything, I hope Your Highness will forgive me. ”

Although Du Xun's strong physique gave birth to a hundred turns of soft intestines, but he is a resolute and outspoken person, but a military general's style, if what he said is true, then the Yingzhou government has a great relationship with this Tumen Inn.

The prince felt a headache, this thing made the trip more and more serious, and then looked at the women, children and children imprisoned in the cage, at this time, you can only deal with this black market as soon as possible, one day you will be wronged for them, don't open your eyes and continue to move forward.

Further ahead is Hualiu Lane, Qi Long stopped first, he was not worried that the prince would go inside, he was afraid that Du Xun would be old and improper, so he stared at Du Xun with terrifying eyes, Du Xun saw it and immediately turned around, shouting:

"Your Highness must be tired, let's go to the Lingshan guest in the south to sit down and rest, the concubine there is very drunk. ”

Talking about the wine Du Xun instantly raised his neck and couldn't wait, the prince wanted to find a cool place to rest for a while and continue to march, listening to the exquisite name of this wine shop, he became interested, nodded and agreed.

The three of them walked slowly for half a moment to the place, the small building from the outside looks not good, buried in the surrounding carved beams and painted buildings, but do not want to have a hole inside, landscapes, flowers and birds are all stored in the building, but it is a veritable spiritual mountain.

Xiao Er in the store was stunned for a moment when he saw three soldiers in armor, and then came up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Master Jun, there is no elegant seat at this time, and the window position in the lobby is also excellent, you see?"

The prince nodded, Qi Long and Du Xun didn't care about this, and the three of them sat down in the lobby.

"Three military masters, what do you drink? The shop is most famous for its ......" Although Xiao Er asked about the three people, he only saw the prince.

Before he finished speaking, Du Xun shouted familiarly: "A pot of concubine drunk, half a catty of pig's head meat, half a leg of mutton, and two dishes of appetizers." After that, he suddenly remembered that there were still Prince Zhen and Qi Long, and scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed: "Hehe, patronizing yourself, what do Your Highness and Brother Qi want?"

Qi Long didn't want to speak, considering that he had to march in the afternoon, he consulted the prince, and finally Qi Long ordered the tip of the pot, and the prince added a saliva chicken, and the three of them sat around a table, with Du Xun always interjecting meat and playing the department, and the time waiting for the wine and food was not boring.

The atmosphere in the lobby became tense, because Du Xun shouted His Royal Highness just now, and the diners in the hall combined with the holy decree, it was not difficult to guess that it was the prince who was wearing a mountain spring armor and a phoenix-winged helmet, and several people in the rivers and lakes with swords had unkind faces, and their fingers were on the sword on their waists.

This subtle change could not escape the eyes of the prince, and his posture did not change, but his subordinates casually picked up the tea bowl on the table and watched the changes.

Qi Long and Du Xun are also battle-hardened people, and they feel surrounded by tigers and wolves, so they sandwich the prince in the middle, showing a protective posture, which is a subconscious move.

However, until Xiao Er got all the refreshments, wine and food, no one made a move, the atmosphere was so deadlocked, Qi Long and Du Xun felt a little at ease, after all, the court and the rivers and lakes have always been against each other, and at this time, the fight is not pleasing to both parties, not to mention that they have to hurry as soon as possible, more is better than less.

"Eat, the hour is almost up. The prince sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in the Qilong bowl, and his movements were chic and natural.

As the prince's father-in-law, Qi Long raised his eyebrows at Du Xun, and his face was stinky.

Du Xun pulled the vegetables in the bowl and sighed, but his family was all children, and he couldn't experience the pleasure of his son-in-law stammering himself.

was depressed, the prince sandwiched another chicken leg into Du Xun's bowl, Du Xun smiled, squeezed his eyes at Qi Long, and Qi Long deliberately made a delicious expression, which made Du Xun happy, and he was a little more cordial to the prince.

Qi Long couldn't help but smack his tongue at the prince's ability to control people's hearts.

Du Xun has a good face, and is a rough and delicate person, the prince was angry with Du Xun on official business in the black market before, and at this time he personally gave him chicken legs, this stick is a sweet date, and this sweet date is in the middle of it, Du Xun must have a good impression of the prince.

For this innocuous imperial technique, Qi Long naturally supported it, and after seeing through the subtlety, he also added fuel to the fire.

Qi Long took such careful care of the crown prince, in the final analysis, in addition to the reason for his daughter's repeated entrustment, it was mainly due to the leniency shown by the prince when dealing with the pioneer camp, as well as his calmness in the face of those imprisoned Han slaves, and his ruthless harshness towards Du Xun, who was likely to be informed.

Although they are all details, but these details reveal a person's true character, the prince has both a gentleman's benevolence and a decisive decision, as a military general, Qi Long is extremely satisfied with this duanfang son-in-law; as a courtier, Qi Long also respects this wise prince.
