128. Transactions

Zhang Qi and others have already agreed on the policy of Pingxia, so they must be busy according to their respective division of labor. After only a few days, Zhang Qi, Zhi Keshi, and Murong Fu left the Yan army one after another. But this time, Bao Wei did not return to Beijing with Murong Fu, but was left behind to deal with the matter of buying Yanbu.

If Bao is different from this kind of person, the so-called loyalty and patriotism are by no means as important as the realization of personal values. It is precisely because he wants to show his ability all the time that he is unwilling to climb the career honestly, but chooses to run for the Murong family's revival of the Great Yan Dynasty and usurpation of the throne. In the final analysis, where is the founding father of a generation of capable ministers?

Because of this, when Murong replied: "As long as you can subdue the Yan Ministry, you can make a wish." The seed master who came to see him off couldn't help but grin, obviously extremely worried in his heart. But the package is different, but he immediately understood the opportunity to show his talents, and he was full of energy at the moment, vowing to do a big vote!

I saw Bao Wei bowing to Murong Fu with a smile on his face, and said categorically: "Don't worry, if the old Bao can't finish subduing the face, come and see you!" As he spoke, he suddenly frowned slightly and said cautiously. It's just that...... Son, everyone on the side is easy to say, what if those people want a holy decree? ”

Bao Wei's voice did not fall, and the seed master wanted to jump to scold his mother. This Yan Bu Ru Mao has not yet been civilized, and he doesn't even have his own writing, what holy decree do they know? Bao is different from saying this, it is clearly not a big deal to join in the fun!

How did Murong Fu hear this, but he only smiled casually: "If he wants a holy decree, won't it be over if he writes him a copy?" "It's not that Murong Fu doesn't know that Bao has a different personality, but it's better for his subordinates to be motivated than to pick and choose, not only to refuse to work, but also to always be crooked. As for wanting to show your skills in the mission, that's simply a virtue! As long as he can really do things well, it is also appropriate for the boss to come forward to cover his subordinates.

However, as soon as Murong Fu's voice fell, he immediately realized that his tone was really very similar to the domineering traitor in a certain movie in later generations. He immediately cleared his throat, turned his head to the seed master and said, "Brother Seed, rest assured, when the major event is over, this false holy decree will be burned, and there will be no proof of death!" ”

The seed master Dao followed Murong Fu, and even made such a major event as a deception and concealment of the nine clans, where is the crime of correcting the order? Seeing Murong Fu's words to appease, he couldn't help but sigh softly, clenched his fists and said, "Take care all the way!" He also instructed Xue Muhua, who was following Murong Fu, "Take care of Mingshi!" With that, he turned and departed.

Murong Fu smiled when he saw that the seed master Dao agreed with his approach, so he snorted lightly and rode away.

Bao Wei waited for more than half a month in the Yan army, and finally waited for the news of Liao's domestic response. The Liao lord Yelu Hongji was really annoyed after learning that the tribute had been burned, and sent someone to ask the Wanyan Xingshi for the crime. Nayelu Hongji's IQ has not all been dropped, and the blame Wanyan Department also said that Wanyan Department colluded with the Han people to burn the tribute, forcing Wanyan to hand over the Han people who were the culprits. Naturally, there was no one to hand over to Wanyan, so the patriarch and Libu's eldest son, Wu Yashu, were detained. Wu Yashu had a rebellious temperament, and clashed with the Liao soldiers several times on the way to Shangjing, and was abused to death soon after arriving in Shangjing, and he never even got the opportunity to cry out in front of the Liao lord Yelu Hongji.

Bao Wei immediately laughed three times when he heard the news, and hurriedly picked up the people and horses to disguise themselves as merchants and went to Wanyan. This time, there was no Murong Fu, who was tired from the journey, and the speed of the package was much faster, and he arrived at Wanyan in less than a month.

As a Shengfan tribe that has not yet formed a written word, there will naturally be no mature funeral rules in the Wanyan Department. But the pain of losing a loved one will not be diminished because there are no rules. Therefore, as soon as Bao Fang came to Wanyan Ministry, he already felt the heavy atmosphere among the tribe. Seeing Wanyan Aguta, who came to greet him, Bao Yi's face immediately piled up an anxious expression, and asked eagerly: "Brother Aguta, what happened in your department, why are everyone depressed?" ”

Wanyan looked at Bao for a long time with a strange face, and finally sighed deeply: "It turns out that Brother Bao is here, please inside!" ”

Bao is not bold by nature, and when he saw that Yan Aguda's expression was different, he only pretended not to know, and hurriedly thanked him and followed the camp in the opposite direction and Libu.

However, he hadn't seen him for two months, but he was already a lot haggard when he saw it, and his originally muscular body was now shrunk, looking thin and rickety. And the skin on his cheeks is even more saggy, and the black beard under his chin has turned white, as if he has gone from a strong man in the middle of the sun to the sunset in an instant, obviously the pain of losing his son has hit him a lot.

Bao Wei was also taken aback when he saw that He Libu was so old, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Bao Wei has seen the patriarch, what happened?" Why do you ...... Patriarch?"

He Libu raised his eyes and looked at Bao Wei with complicated eyes, and said in a dark voice: "Your name is Bao Wei?" ”

Bao Bu's heart jumped slightly, but he still responded cautiously with a worried face: "Exactly!" ”

"Take it!" Helib's eyes were red, and he immediately roared. "Chop off his head and take it to His Majesty!"

Bao Wei was full of martial arts, but he didn't resist at this time, and let several strong men in the tent push him to the ground with his hands, only to make a panicked look and shouted: "This ...... What's going on? Patriarch! Brother Aguta, Lao Bao is here to buy ginseng! What's going on? ”

Bao's different acting skills may not be able to hide from Murong Fu, but it is more than enough to deceive Wanyan Aguda, who is still simple-minded. I saw that Yan Aguda immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Bao Wei and shouted, "Father, don't be impulsive!" The words of the Khitans are unbelievable! ”

He Libu has always valued Ah Guta, and when he heard Ah Guda say this, he hesitated.

Bao Wei also worked hard behind Ah Guta, and shouted repeatedly: "What's the matter? What the hell is going on? …… Do you want to take my money away from me if you don't talk about your credit? ”

Interpreter Xu Zhuocheng is also of Han family blood, and at this time he couldn't help but plead for Bao Wei: "Patriarch, let's ask the words clearly first...... ...... again"

Ah Guda and Xu Zhuocheng pleaded for Bao Wei at the same time, and He Libu finally gradually eased his expression and ordered: "Let him go first." ”

"Thank you, Daddy!" Ah Guda immediately responded, turned his face and helped Bao Wei up.

Bao Wei wiped his face in surprise and fear, and sat timidly opposite Helib and peeked at him for a long time without speaking. Duandi is to portray the image of an ordinary Han businessman who loves money and cherishes his life vividly.

When he saw the different appearance of the bag, his heart was faintly shaken, but the tone of his question was much kinder at this time. "Mr. Bao is here to buy ginseng?"

Bao Wei nodded silently, and immediately replied: "Patriarch, we have already agreed that the trade of this ginseng can continue for a long time." If you kill me now, you're killing chickens and eggs! ”

The corners of Helib's mouth twitched, and after a while, Fang said: "The last time you came, you were just in time for the Liao lord to collect tribute, do you remember?" ”

Bao Wei nodded again and again, and couldn't wait to say: "My son-in-law has helped you, you can't take revenge!" ”

"Is it helping us or harming us?" He Libu Senran said, "Are you the thieves who attacked the Liao army camp and set fire to the tribute?" Say! Did you kill my eldest son, Uyashu? Before He Libu could finish speaking, a strong Jurchen man beside Bao Wei put a knife against his neck.

"Huh? The Uyashu brothers died...... Is it dead? Bao Wei immediately made a surprised appearance, and shouted loudly with his mouth open for a long time. Treat unjustly! Treat unjustly! Not me! I didn't kill Brother Uyashu! It's not me! ”

Wanyan Agu saw that Bao was different and cried on the ground like killing a pig, and he faintly looked down on him while being compassionate, and couldn't help but say: "Daddy, it's not him, he doesn't have the guts!" ”

Seeing this, He Libu also agreed with Aguta's opinion, and only said: "His son-in-law is a bold one!" ”

Wanyan shook his head again. "It's a pity that the body is too weak!"

The father and son were frowning and silent in confusion, and Bao Wei suddenly choked up and said, "Ah...... Brother Aguda, what happened, can you sue SΓΉ Lao Bao? …… This one person is short, and two people are long! Seeing that the Yan father and son turned their eyes to him at the same time, he hurriedly wiped his tears and put on a flattering smile.

Ah Gu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Bao was different and had the courage to ask for details. The father and son were silent for a moment, and finally revealed the inside story to Bao Bao and disagreed.

When Bao Wei heard that the envoy sent by the Liao lord not only killed Wu Yashu, but also took another tribute of greater value, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and scolded: "This Liao emperor is too unreasonable!" It is clear that his soldiers are incompetent and have lost the tribute, not only does he not blame his own soldiers, but he comes to bully the Yan Department again, what is this? ”

Bao is different, but he said that the father and son were related, and immediately sighed in unison.

"However, this matter really has nothing to do with my Su family!" Bao Wei hurriedly distinguished for himself, "Patriarch, if my Su family really has the ability to fight with the Khitan leather room, how can it destroy the whole door?" ”

"But the king of the Southern Courtyard said that you are not ordinary merchants, but officials of the Great Song Dynasty!" Wanyan gritted his teeth and said. It turned out that Xiao Feng had not saved Wu Yashu, and he was very sorry in his heart, so when Ah Gu called Shangjing to retrieve his brother's body, he told Yan Ah Gu that he knew about it. Seeing Xiao Feng so brave, Wanyan Agu never resisted after receiving a few heavy punches from him, let alone embarrassing his subordinates, but he believed his statement a little.

"This ...... It's hard to tell! Bao Wei hurriedly raised his arm and said, "If Lao Bao is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he will call Lao Bao Tian to thunder!" He gritted his teeth and swore an oath, and then he said again. Although Lao Bao is a merchant, he also knows that our Song people hate the Khitan people. If you have the ability to burn the tribute, why not be on the battlefield? What is a small tribute? ”

"Yes! What you hate is the Khitans......" When He Libu heard this, he suddenly said meaningfully.

Bao Wei was stunned for a while before he understood the meaning of his words, and shouted again. "Patriarch, my Su family does have a blood feud with the Khitans, but if you want to take revenge, when the envoys of the Liao State come, you can assassinate them with fire/guns. Why wait until they're done with the face? After a pause, he added. Then the king of the Southern Courtyard keeps saying that we are killing people and taking the blame, what is the evidence? …… Patriarch, according to Lao Bao, it is very likely that the king of the Southern Courtyard and his subordinates secretly swallowed the tribute, and pretended that the tribute was robbed, deceived the emperor of Liao, and harmed you even more! ”

The argument that the package is different is obviously more tenable. In the past years, the envoys of the Liao lord came to Wanyan to ask for tribute, and they always ate and took cards. The amount of tribute had to be a few percent higher than originally set in order to satisfy the messenger. This time, the king of the Southern Courtyard didn't take a penny, Wanyan thought he was a good person, but he didn't expect that he had the intention of swallowing it alone! And he is so evil, which is obviously more in line with the Jurchens' consistent impression of the Khitans.

Seeing that a puzzled look appeared on the faces of Wanyan's father and son at the same time, Xu Zhuocheng, the interpreter, also whispered: "Patriarch, if Mr. Bao is really a Great Song Dynasty official and deliberately framed Wanyan, then now that his goal has been achieved, what are he going to do when he comes back?" And the words of the messenger who came to ask sin were just as suspicious! Since the Jurchens who burned the tribute were masked, why did the leading Wu Yashu teach people to recognize their identities? It's clear that the Liao lord deliberately framed it! ”

He Libu hesitated for a long time and finally nodded, and asked Bao Wei, "Mr. Bao, what are you doing here?" ”

"Me?" Bao Wei subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said cautiously. "I'll buy ginseng!"

Wanyan looked at the bag for a long time with a cloudy face, and suddenly asked, "How to buy it?" ”

Bao Wei looked at each other in disbelief and whispered: "Those under twenty years old, each branch is ten times; for those under 50 years, 30 per branch; For more than 50 years, 50 for each branch. If the condition is excellent, the price can be negotiated...... "Seeing that there is no color left behind in the bones, the package is different, and immediately add a sentence." "Brother Akuta, if you are not satisfied with this price, we can discuss it again! Let's discuss! ”

Ah Guda stared at Bao for a long time, and said quietly: "We still have horses, as well as Beizhu, Shengjin, and animal skins, do you want them?" But we don't want your copper coins and food, we want you to pay the bill with fire/guns and knives and arrows! ”

"Ah Gu Da!" After Yan Agu's voice fell, He Libu knew his deep meaning, and shouted in fear and worry.

Wanyan Aguda is worthy of being the Jin Tai/Ancestor in history, with an extremely long-term vision, and only calmly said to Heli Bu: "Father, the Khitans are becoming more and more fierce towards us, we have to try to protect ourselves!" With that, he turned his head to stare at Bao Wei again, and said fiercely. How is it? ”

Bao Wei was already in the middle of the game, but he still made a sad face on his face and said: "Brother Aguta, do you know that these fires/guns and knives and arrows are all ordnance in our Great Song Dynasty." My son-in-law has a master-apprentice friendship with the prefect, and he also knelt in the county government for three days before ......"

Before he finished speaking, he glanced at the strong Jurchen man standing beside Bao Wei. The strong man understood, and immediately pressed the knife to the neck of the bag, and several blood beads came out.

"I promise! I promise! Bao Wei's soul was scattered, and he shouted out at the moment!
