47. Beaten
"I think you're getting impatient. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Tashi's movements were so fast that Yuan Qixi didn't have time to react. felt that the people around her flashed, and Liu Ting was slapped twice by Tashi pinching his face. When Yuan Qixi kept twitching the corners of his mouth, Tashi glared at Liu Ting, who already had palm prints on his face, and scolded viciously: "I'll go to Namel and get a few whips later." lest thou forget that thou shalt be just an animal. ”
The head of the family taught his slaves a lesson, and Yuan Qixi didn't dare to go up and stop him, especially in the foreign land where "heaven should not be called earth". Fortunately, Tashi was somewhat concerned that there were still outsiders, and after a few reprimands, he let go of Liu Ting.
The moment he got up, Tashi restrained the violent anger on his face. He nodded at Yuan Qixi, and explained in Chinese with a smile: "I don't know how it has been in the past few years, and Dawu's side has often clashed with us. In order to avoid that the income of 20% is not enough to deal with in Dawu, I found a reliable person in Dawu to help me watch the private collection. ”
"It's not surprising. When a man arrives in a foreign realm, he is running around, and if he encounters an accident, he is still stretched thin in terms of money, but it is not very good. Zanha, who was blinded by Tashi, raised his glass and persuaded: "If the Tiele people say anything, they will never deliberately deceive you." Lord Li is also a Han merchant that the prince said should be treated well, and even if the merchants don't look at your face, they don't dare to offend the prince. ”
Yuan Qixi scolded angrily in his heart: On your territory, even if you make it clear that you want to deceive me, I am powerless to resist.
"I see." After receiving the wine handed by Zanha, Yuan Qixi, who was not here for money, took advantage of the situation to step down. "Even the prince's people have said so, how can the little one doubt it? Then, according to the Tashi brothers' intentions, add another two percent directly to the original list? ”
"The Han merchants who can win the prince's favor are really free and easy." Tashi did not hesitate to praise him, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Brother Li Qing can add it casually, it's okay to have less." However, don't record the additions in the account books, lest the family quarrel over it. Why don't you give me another list? ”
Of course, Yuan Qixi didn't mind, and was even a little surprised.
This kind of thing of privately deducting public income is just a "secret" in everyone's hearts in Dawu. Men who work hard outside privately deduct some income to do their own things, as long as it is not excessive, even the head of the family will turn a blind eye. Otherwise, who wants to run around in the wind and rain? For those who do cross-border business like Tashi, the risk is even greater. Leave some private storage in Dawu in advance, so as not to have an accident when you go next time, and to avoid having nothing in the territory of other clans, it is indeed the caution that businessmen should have. But Yuan Qixi didn't expect that Tiele people would be able to tell their private secrets unabashedly.
No matter how reasonable the private collection is, it will not be put on the table by the Dawu people, let alone with the transaction party. A country that pays attention to etiquette is peaceful on the table no matter how much trouble is made in private. It is to mention private hiding with the trading party, which will not only provoke the other party to look down on, but also make people question that they are a person who cannot be on the stage. I didn't think that this kind of thing could be said casually by Tieler, and he could say it in front of his family.
looked at Namel, who was sitting not far away, and then at Zanha, who had a straight face, and Yuan Qixi hurriedly nodded to Tashi. "I'll go back and make up the list for Brother Tashi."
Yuan Qixi didn't know why Tashi dared to say something hidden in front of his wife, but Liu Ting knew. When Tashi kicked him lightly and retreated in the direction of Namel, Liu Ting sneered and slandered: Isn't it just that there are not many people in the tent who know Chinese? Nammel couldn't understand Chinese, and neither could anyone else, but Zamaha could understand it.
It's enough for Prince Tieler's people to understand!
As soon as the banquet was over, Liu Ting said to Nammell, "Tashi just admitted that he had a private possession. He also said that the private collection was placed in Dawu. ”
At this time, Nammel had just taken the whip in her hand - according to Tashi's instructions at the banquet, Liu Ting was to be whipped by Nammel. However, after listening to Liu Ting's words, Nammel wrenched the whip in her hand.
"Why didn't I hear Tashi say it himself?" The native Tiele woman stepped on the low stool beside Liu Ting with one foot, and shouted with a rather aura posture: "You dare to discredit my husband? ”
"He spoke in Chinese!" Liu Ting couldn't hold back her joy: "Zanha can understand." You find someone to go to Zanha and ask. ”
Nammel pondered for a moment, and the whip in her hand still swept heavily over Liu Ting's face.
"I'll look for it. But you can't avoid this whip. In the faint light of the fire, the angry Nameel gritted her teeth and threatened: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will skin you." ”
When she walked out of the tent, the corners of Liu Ting's mouth, which had been whipped and covered with bruises, kept upturning. Looking at Jian Zhongxi who was full of worry, he made a "It's okay" gesture, and Liu Ting endured the pain and walked into Ou Zhu's camp.
Although she is the maid on her name, Ou Zhu doesn't care at all that Liu Ting is whipped by Namel. In Ou Zhu's eyes, any Tiele man can whip Han Nu, as long as he is not killed, the owner of the slave will not mind.
"Go get me a bucket of water." Ou Zhu glanced at Liu Ting and turned around on the bed. Finding that Liu Ting didn't go to fetch water, and walked straight past the other people in the tent to come to him, Ou Zhu turned his head unhappily and asked, "Have you not been able to get enough of Namel's whip?" ”
"Tashi put it in his private hiding in Dawu." Leaning over Ou Zhu's ear, Liu Ting said in a low voice: "He admitted it in front of Han Shang. Zanha, who had been sent by the prince, also heard it with his own ears. ”
Ou Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Ouzhu and Namel didn't do anything after hearing this, but you were beaten like this." Carefully smearing the grass ash on Liu Ting's wound, Jian Zhongxi muttered distressedly: "I know that we can't get herbs in a barren place like Tiele, and we still take such a risk." It's not worth it. ”
"Why isn't it worth it?" Liu Ting, who was lying on the ground honestly, turned her head and said proudly: "The seeds of doubt are beginning to take root and sprout." We have two more years, enough for it to grow to the point where it grows and bears fruit. ”
Jian Zhongxi couldn't help laughing.
"Four years ago, there was a merchant who had a good relationship with Tashi, but his sons were turned back because he had too much private hiding. The prince knew about this, and he couldn't say anything, only that the sons should not have killed the old father. Helping Liu Ting tie up her wound with a strip of rotten cloth, Jian Zhongxi said with a smile: "Tie Le is really good in this regard, anyone who has contributed can compete for property, unlike what the head of the family of Da Wu says." ”
"So, let's wait for Ouzhu and Namel's follow-up moves." Putting the rolled up pants away, Liu Ting sneered: "On top of two percent, there are two percent, and there are unexplained outsiders." Tashi This is heaven there is no way to go, and hell has no way to enter. ”
"The wife who was raised outside the family was married and had a son with her former husband. When the woman died her husband, she refused to leave her son, so Tashi had to keep her outside. It's hard for Ozhu and Nammel to say anything about this - Tiele doesn't engage in widowhood, and women who have remarried their dead husbands are everywhere, and it doesn't matter if Tashi wants to marry her back in Tiele. It's just that no one expected that after the woman gave birth to Tashi's child, she would have a conflict of interest with Ouzhu and Namel. ”
