After Chen Wenhui and his wife handed over Ram to the soldiers who were guarding the city, they set out for the town on their own, and they were going to live in the town today. Chen Wenhui, who had been sleeping in the wilderness for several days, longed for the bed in the inn.

The carriage had not traveled for a long time, and a city appeared at the end of the road, saying that it was a city, but it was really big, and it could only be said that it was a town. However, there is still a city wall, so there is nothing wrong with calling it a city. When you get closer, you can see that the city wall is also dilapidated, like a centuries-old antique, full of historical obsolescence.

When the steward saw Chen Wenhui's expression when he faced this city, he knew what Chen Wenhui and his wife thought: "Is this Shaocheng very small, very old, and very dilapidated. In fact, if you stay in southern Xinjiang for a long time, you will know that this is already a very good city. The so-called cities, the places where the tribes are located, are even more unseemly. This Shaocheng can be called a city because it has a section of city wall. The walls look old, but they still work. This was built by Emperor Guanglie in the previous dynasty. It's been hundreds of years, old of course. ”

This is actually Fusu's handiwork, no wonder it is so old. It's really antique.

Chen Wenhui and his wife entered this antique city wall, and saw houses with various ethnic minority characteristics, and there were many pedestrian shops on the street. There is no large population as Great Chu, and the people are not as rich as Great Chu. However, there are a lot of unique things to sell.

After the steward entered the city, he said to Chen Wenhui and his wife, "I want to go to the trading house in the east of the city." We have a fixed trading location for all year round. It's your first time. I'll find an inn to live in, and then, go to the Chengdong Trading House to find me, and I can introduce you to a few local merchants to facilitate your trade. ”

Accardo on the side said: "If the trading house of the Great Chu merchants in the east of the city cannot satisfy you, you can also come to our Miao people's trading house in the south of the city." I can also introduce you to some clients. ”

Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui thanked them, and naturally the steward who took the lead had already booked a courtyard at the best inn in the city, and Chen Wenhui and the others went to the inn to rest. It was agreed that the next day they would go to the two firms in charge of the east and south of the city to visit.

Entered the inn, although it is not as luxurious as the Jiangnan Inn. Comfortable. However, it is also clean and tidy, a small cross-courtyard, very clean. Chen Wenhui asked Shuilian: "Such a small yard." How do we live with so many of us? ”

"We shouldn't be staying long," said Shuilian. So. We didn't rent a bigger house. Just rest in this inn. This inn is the largest inn in Shaocheng, and there are a total of five courtyards here, all of which have been contracted by us. The lady lived in the main courtyard. It is still the largest, and the remaining four courtyards are for guards, stewards and others. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded, and naturally asked Shuilian and the others to clean up.

When Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi sat in the living room and drank tea, the house had been cleaned up, and the furnishings, bedding, curtains, and curtains inside were replaced with their own things, Chen Wenhui looked at familiar things, smelled the benzoin burned in the Boshan furnace, and a wave of tiredness hit, and went to sleep first without waiting for dinner.

Zhao Chongyi watched Chen Wenhui sleep lovingly, helped her put on the quilt in her armpits, instructed Shuilian and others to watch it well, and asked the entourage to prepare some food, and when Chen Wenhui woke up, she would have something to eat.

After doing this, Zhao Chongyi took a steward and three guards to the city.

Compared with the leisurely of Chen Wenhui's side, Ram was embraced to Shaocheng by the garrison of Shaocheng. After some freshening up, the city lord of Shaocheng and the leaders of the three tribes, the leaders of the Teng tribe and the Bai tribe in Shaocheng had already rushed to the city lord's meeting hall.

Ram changed into a beautiful vine princess costume, surrounded by his maids and guards, and came to the council hall, with phoenix eyes full of authority, went straight to the animal skin chair in the middle and sat down, nodded, and asked these leaders to sit down.

The leader of the vine tribe was the most concerned and asked, "I heard that the princess went out hunting and was attacked?" Who is so bold? ”

Ram snorted coldly, glanced around at the leaders present and said, "Who it is, I believe everyone will know soon." There are a few things to do now. First, I want to prepare to go back to Guangzhou. Second, my subordinates will investigate this matter and hope that the leaders will cooperate. ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of several leaders present were different. The leaders of the Teng and Bai clans were the first to state that they would definitely cooperate with the development of this matter.

Ram nodded with satisfaction and thanked the two leaders.

However, these two chieftains did not have much influence in the local area. In fact, the residents of this Shaocheng are composed of four ethnic groups: Qin, Miao, Lan, and Yi, and there are also some Teng people, Bai people, etc., who are very few people, and do not have any weight to speak.

The Qin people have no say in southern Xinjiang, but their chamber of commerce is a big force, so the rest is that the three leaders of the Miao people, the Lan people, and the Yi people are the actual rulers of Shaocheng.

At this moment, the leader of the Miao people had a pale face, and after glancing at the leader of the Lan clan, he said: "The attack on the princess is indeed a big deal, and it really needs to be investigated, and we Miao people will definitely cooperate with Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Ram didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly got up and thanked the leader of the Miao people.

The leader of the Yi people did not say anything, his expression was a little hesitant, and he looked at the leader of the Lan clan from time to time, but unfortunately, the leader of the Lan clan had a calm face and did not prompt at all.

The leader of the Yi people had no way, so he sighed and said, "We Yi people will also cooperate with Her Royal Highness the princess in the investigation." ”

Ram also thanked him.

In this way, everyone's eyes were focused on the face of the leader of the Blue Clan. The leader of the Blue Clan said unhurriedly, "I am also very angry about the attack on the princess. was attacked in Shaocheng, isn't this ugly for the three major tribes of Shaocheng? Our southern Xinjiang has always been united, and although there are many tribes, they are thriving under the rule of the queen. Now there is a disregard for the law and a direct attack on our future prince of southern Xinjiang, Her Royal Highness the princess of the Teng clan, which is really a discredit to our Shaocheng. ”

Ram looked coldly at the Shaocheng leader of the Lan Clan and did not speak.

The leader of the Lan clan in Shaocheng continued: "So, I suspect that it was not the people of our tribes in southern Xinjiang who attacked the princess, but the Qin people. It may also be a merchant from Da Chu. ”

As soon as he said this, Ram's face turned red with anger.

The leader of the Blue Clan in Shaocheng continued: "Nowadays, our Shaocheng management is very strict, and all tribes are also abiding by the law. However, we have not managed those Hermes-Epitek effectively. According to my thoughts, it is best for us to take this opportunity to manage the Qin people in our city and the caravan of Da Chu. Anyone suspected of it will be arrested and interrogated. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Ram couldn't be angry. The difference between the political views of the Lan clan and the queen is mainly because the queen's attitude towards the Qin people is mainly to appease and treat the Qin people as real people in southern Xinjiang. However, the Lan people have always been against the Qin people, and there have even been several suppressions and killings of the Qin people.

This time, it was obviously someone from the Blue Clan who attacked her, and the leader of the Blue Clan's Shaocheng must have also been involved in this matter. However, this real thief, not only did not reflect on himself, but also buckled the basin on the head of the Qin people, and it was so shameless to use this matter to realize his political opinions.

Actually, everyone here knows what's going on. The attack on the princess was obviously done by the Lan clan. The leaders of the Miao and Yi were very dissatisfied with this. The Lan clan did this in Shaocheng, but in fact, they didn't give face to the Miao and Yi people. This is the princess safe and sound, if the princess has a problem in this matter, then how can Shaocheng meet the queen's wrath?

The Miao and Yi people really suffered from the pond fish.

This has already made the Miao and Yi people depressed. Now the Lan clan wants to take this opportunity to eradicate the power of the Qin people. Isn't this the standard thief shouting to catch a thief? I've seen shamelessness, I've never seen such shamelessness.

In fact, the Qin people and various tribes in Shaocheng got along very well. In particular, the caravans of Dachu often traveled between Dachu and Guangzhou City, and this Shaocheng was a must-pass place. In this way, the smooth trade route made the market in Shaocheng greatly prosperous. Since the opening of trade in recent years, the living standards of the people of Shaocheng have been greatly improved. The incomes of the three major tribes have also increased considerably.

The leaders of Shaocheng of the Miao and Yi people were very satisfied. The leaders of other cities all wanted to come to Shaocheng, and these two leaders had to work hard to become leaders here. However, now that such a good situation is being destroyed, can the Blue Clan be happy?

It is conceivable that once the idea of the Lan clan is realized, the caravan of the Qin people and the Great Chu will be hit, which will definitely make the merchants of the Great Chu dare not come to do business. In this way, the market will shrink, and Shaocheng's production will not be able to sell. The lives of the people will be affected, and the tribe's coffers will be greatly reduced. Can these leaders be willing?

They all looked angrily at the shameless Shaocheng leader of the Lan Clan.

The Shaocheng leader of the Teng clan was the most angry, and he said: "Don't take it for granted, without evidence, how do you know that the Qin people did it?" I think you Lans are the biggest suspect. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the leader of the Blue Clan.

The leader of Shaocheng of the Lan clan said slowly: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." We Lan are the most loyal, and it is impossible for us to do such a thing. Since you don't agree, then forget it, there are still things in my tribe, go first. ”

After saying that, he swaggered out.

Ram's face was blue and white for a while.

Half-loud, Ram said, "So be it." I'm going to let my men investigate first, and in five days, I'm going to leave for Canton City. ”

With that, Ram walked out with his entourage. The remaining leaders of the Miao and Yi people looked at each other. (To be continued......)
