Chapter 431: Horse Thief
And the state is not only expensive, it can be described as a shortage of soldiers before the war, there are heavy troops of the king of Wei stationed here, but those soldiers are extremely poor, and the officials loot the local rich rooms.
Acting upwards and downwards, the soldiers openly robbed the people on the streets. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The innkeeper saw the extremely precious horse and was deeply worried about him.
"Dao Chief, is your horse ...... Stole? ”
Being regarded as a horse thief, Tianji said angrily: "What do you think of Dao Ye, that's a ......"
He just wanted to say the name of Yilian, but he thought that it was a monk, and it was not good to bring his reputation.
But it would be very troublesome to explain this clearly. The shopkeeper looked at his situation and said coldly: "If you don't make it clear, you can't live here, if you leave this place tomorrow and are targeted by the secret inspectors or soldiers on the street, then even my inn will be affected, ask for the crime of harboring stolen goods, then wait to be squeezed by those people and go bankrupt, right?" ”
This is really a tiger falling in Pingyang being bullied by dogs, Tianji thought that if it fell into the hands of this Yan Thorn Shi at this time, he was afraid that the sword in the sword bag would also be searched, and the gold leaf in the purse would not be spared, so he asked at the moment: "Do you know the head of the Heavenly Pivot Dao?" ”
He thought that since Bingzhou City was the territory of King Wei, it should be useful to mention the name of Tianshu.
The innkeeper has seen a lot of guests from the north and south, and he is also well-informed, so he nodded, "I know, I often hear people say that he is a Taoist priest who alchemists, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm his brother."
Tianji took out the letter that his junior brother gave him and raised it.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper smiled, "The identity of the Tianshu Dao Chief's back is actually the leader of the Mani Sect, and his reputation is not small, but it is said that he was poisoned by eating red pills recently. ”
The letter does say that it is walking through the devil, and the time is short, and the sky is paused: Wow! It's not the right time to die.
The innkeeper glared at him, "It's useless, this Dao Master, even if he doesn't die, he won't be a fart in front of King Wei, and King Wei doesn't eat red pills." I said, are you slippery, did you go to the government to make it clear? Or wait for me to report it? ”
Tianji was forced to be really helpless, and suddenly had an idea, "You go, call that Yan Thorn History, and I'll tell him personally!" ”
The shopkeeper was frightened by his ignorance, and no longer disregarded etiquette, and warned viciously: "Oh my God! This stinking old man is crazy. You don't know, that Yan Thorn Shi's nickname is Lord Yan, he is here, he can peel off your skin raw and make a human skin lantern. ”
Tianji shouted: "Who is afraid of him! This horse was given by the noble concubine! ”
Along the way, Tianji listened to Mr. Storyteller's explanation, and learned that the private male pet, the noble concubine who stole the palace treasure, turned out to be the biological daughter of King Wei.
Yes!
The innkeeper didn't believe it at all: nonsense, why did the noble concubine give you a horse worth a thousand gold?
Yes? Why? I hadn't seen her myself.
At this time, he regretted that he should not have ridden this horse to merge the state, but in fact, he was negligent all the way to the state, and he did not expect that the state would become a terrible hell.
The shopkeeper became more and more fierce, and as soon as he whistled, more than a dozen big men from the courtyard came in, surrounded him, and thoroughly searched his belongings.
Yes! A horse worth a thousand gold, a famous sword worth a fortune, and a bag of gold leaves......
Where is this that a wandering Taoist can have?
The shopkeeper immediately wanted to send him to the government,
At this time, Tianji, who was powerless, shouted in a hurry: "These are all given to her male pets by Ligui's concubine!" ”
A room full of people's eyes were about to pop out, "You! Is it the male pet of Li's noble concubine? ”
Tianji thought to himself, I didn't say I was!
Anyway, things were already terrible, so I stubbornly said, "So what? Bring me to the King of Wei, I have something to say! ”
Cut! No one believed him in the next day, but no one dared to embarrass him.
The shopkeeper saw the opportunity to act, and knelt on the ground at the moment, "Don't blame the Taoist!" It's really because this annexed city is now full of soldiers, and the traders are afraid of being affected. ”
Tianji didn't blame him, he slept by himself.
I originally wanted to go to Chengtian Mountain to guard the tomb of my father and queen mother, but I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble.
The next morning, the entire inn was fenced off, and the legendary "Lord of Yama" Assassin Shi Yan Si came in person.
"I heard that the people around Concubine Li's concubine are here, and I came to pay a visit." He's like a pug.
Tianji looked at the man's hateful face and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a fake?" ”
Yan Si smiled flatteringly: "It's really fake, the prince of Wei has his own decision, but even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, the lower officials will not dare to offend the young master of Liudi." ”
It seems that he is betting on this treasure correctly, and this noble concubine is the overlord in Liudi.
Next, Tianji passed through the Beiyuan Mansion from Bingzhou, all the way unimpeded, every time he arrived at a place, the town guard Fan Shuai, the history of the thorn, all respectfully greeted and send-off, until the Great King's Mansion, and then Baituo City, the capital of the former Liuli Kingdom.
Seriously, Tianji didn't want to see any King Wei anymore, because what he saw along the way, all the states were similar to the merger states, and the most prosperous was the slave market, and the people were forced to sell their children and daughters because of the sudden increase in taxes.
He asked the parents of those people, and the answer he got was because the king of Wei had expanded the forbidden army by 200,000 at once, food, weapons and equipment, war horses, and gunpowder within a year...... This huge amount of military expenditure is apportioned among the magistrates, and there is no way to do it.
The entire Ryudi is actively preparing for war, and there is a lot of tension, but in stark contrast to this, Jin Liangguo's side is light on taxes and allows money to be exempted......
He told what he saw, and those officials replied to him: Let them sing and dance to seek peace and comfort, and when the King of Wei attacks the past, I am afraid that the people of Jin Liangguo will still dream!
It seems that the officials of Ryudi are already dividing themselves from the Jinliang Kingdom, which is a good thing, but Tianji is not happy.
Entered the Baituo City, this city is backed by the White Camel Mountain, the mountain shape resembles a camel, so it is named.
There is also an elegant name, Wenguan City, which is named because the city is widely planted with Wenguan fruit trees.
After ten years of painstaking management by King Wei and Yan Fei, this Wenguan City can be comparable to Daxing Mansion, the capital of Jinliang Kingdom, in terms of scale, population, and wealth.
The Moyu Palace, which is located on the top of the White Camel Mountain, is beautiful, and the scale is half of the Reed Yuan Palace, but with the old Liuli Palace next to it, it is about to catch up.
The Moyu Palace is brand new, and the history of the Liuli Palace is more than 100 years old.
The sky is staggering, this Moyu Palace, I am afraid that it will cost unimaginable huge financial resources, manpower and material resources, and it will not be completed in ten or eight years.
In front of the Moyu Palace, the daily administration of the King of Wei was in the Qianyuan Palace.
His subordinate, who is also his brother-in-law, the commander of the Northern Province and the assassin of Liuzhou, Hua Guiyou, had heard that Yan Si had captured a niece's "male favorite" in Bingzhou...... (To be continued)
