Chapter 184: What a crime to arrest people
The corn looks very good, the grains are golden, a bit like gold, and some white ones look like jade, crystal clear.
Ten taels of silver and one tael of gold.
This is a dozen taels of gold, which is worthy of the "golden fruit".
However, there is only one left on the carpet.
"Stop the sedan chair and order Zhang Xian to bring the servants over!"
He Neng heard that the young master was not as calm as before, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly ran to the yamen of Liangxiang to call someone.
This bearded man looked a little vicious.
Be cautious.
Yan Chengjin asked Zhang Xian to bring someone over and arrested him, anyway, this person raised prices, and he could be arrested according to the law of Daming.
Zhang Xian didn't know what was going on, so he came with the third class of catchers.
Yan Chengjin pointed at the man: "Arrest him, take him to the yamen for interrogation, and take all his goods to the official." ”
Zhang Xian wondered: "My lord, what is the crime of arresting people?" ”
"Indiscriminately bidding, how can a goods dare to sell for a hundred taels of silver, it is obviously bullying us Daming without knowledge."
Zhang Xian rushed over with people, and several officials arrested the people, collected the carpet, and brought all the goods back to the yamen.
Phildusey and a couple of his buddies were stupefied.
After returning to the yamen, Zhang Xian personally opened the court to interrogate: "Who is in the audience, report your name." ”
"Phildusey."
As soon as Yan Chengjin heard it, he knew that this person had been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he could speak some Chinese.
How can he hold a corn in his hand, this thing is golden,
Philducy was not afraid at all, the golden fruit was bought by him from overseas merchants, and no one had seen it in Daming.
When he first came to Daming, Phildusi was deceived by a Taoist priest who told fortunes, and spent a lot of money to buy the Immortal Pill, which was as unpalatable as mud.
Later, I learned that the man was a liar, but he also learned this trick.
The Ming people like to refine the elixir, the pursuit of immortality, the golden fruit grows very good-looking, each grain peeled off, is like jade, and after drying, it is as hard as a stone, and some people believe that it is jade.
Only he knew that this thing was dried and extremely difficult to swallow.
When there is no food at sea, they eat corn, and when they come ashore, there is so much food that no one eats it.
Zhang Xian shouted: "Do you know what kind of crime you should be guilty of raising prices in Daming?" ”
Phildusey shook his head.
"Where did this come from?"
"Brought from the West."
"How many were sold?"
"Eleven sold."
"Tell me what they look like."
According to the appearance characteristics of Phil Dusi, the master of the yamen painted all the portraits, Zhang Xian didn't know what Yan Chengjin was going to do, so he hurriedly brought five portraits to Yan Chengjin.
Yan Chengjin glanced at it, and he couldn't tell who it was in this portrait.
"Block the official road of Liangxiang, these people, dig up to the eighteenth layer of hell and dig it out."
Twelve corns.
Peel off the seeds and plant them loosely, enough to plant several acres of land.
The merchants' ability to trade is too fast, and they are afraid that they will never find it back if they take the corn out of their good country.
Yan Chengjin had a feeling that these people would really take corn for alchemy......
For now, this corn should be well preserved.
Zhang Xian was frightened, when did he see Lord Yan passing by like this, could it be that this golden fruit could really refine the elixir of immortality?
He hurriedly ordered someone to block the exit of Liangxiang, and all the three classes and six rooms were out of the hole, and the portraits were painted by the master and posted everywhere in Liangxiang, and the whole county was wanted.
Xie Yu packed the goods, and this time he bought a lot of miscellaneous goods, ten cars, ready to be transported back to Jiangnan for resale.
The men escorted the carriage, and when they arrived at the tax gate in Liangxiang, they found that the gate was blocked, and many caravans were blocked here, and they were not allowed to pass.
The officers and men who were divided into patrol roads and military preparation roads took portraits and inspected them one by one.
"What is this?"
"I heard that the prisoner is going to be arrested, I just went into retreat, it would be good to come early, and if I delay today, I don't know if I can go to Hejian Mansion at night."
A few vendors said anxiously.
Xie Yu's face was gloomy, merchants generally do not walk at night, they will be robbed by robbers, he has calculated the time, and now he will set off, and he can go to the state and county on the border of Hejian Province in the evening.
With such a delay, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave today.
At this moment, I only heard some officers and soldiers shouting: "Who bought the golden fruit in the hands of the big food merchant, stand up for yourself!" ”
Xie Yu was so shocked that his legs and stomach weakened when he heard this, but he didn't expect that what the officers and soldiers were going to arrest was actually a businessman who bought the golden fruit.
Some goods in the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to be traded by merchants, and once discovered, it is a big crime, not only the family is copied, but also the prison is sitting.
Could it be that this golden fruit is a commodity banned by the imperial court?
Xie Yuhan's hair stood up, and he took a closer look at the portraits in the hands of the officers and soldiers, the painting was too ugly, so he didn't recognize it, and at this moment, one of the five people was not him.
He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Official, dare to ask what law these people have violated?" ”
The official glanced at the portrait and looked surprised: "Arrest him!" ”
Liangxiang Yamen,
Yan Chengjin waited quietly, I don't know if Zhang Xian can arrest people back, the efficiency of relying on the Liangxiang Yamen alone is too low, it would be good if Mu Bin was there, Jinyiwei is better at finding people than the yamen.
But the Jinyi Wei Yamen is in the capital, and the corn has long been used for alchemy.
He also ordered how to take the portrait to the grass hut of the homeless, the most homeless people in the good township, so he could only mobilize the homeless people to look for it.
The big cannibal didn't speak well, maybe the drawing was not accurate, Yan Chengjin simply let him out and let him identify it.
Of these five people, the best one to identify is a Taoist priest.
Zhang Xian strode into the small courtyard: "Adult, I caught one!" ”
Xie Yu was brought into the yamen, but he was a person who had seen the world, so he quickly calmed down, only to see a scholar and Master Zhang from Liangxiang walking together.
Yan Chengjin was stunned for a moment, isn't this the businessman who followed him in the sedan chair?
"Dare to ask the adult, what crime did the villain commit?"
"Hand over the golden fruit, regardless of the crime, the official will return the silver to you, and you can still trade in the good country in the future." Zhang Xian doesn't talk nonsense.
When Xie Yu heard this, he hurriedly took out four corns from his arms, this thing is more expensive than gold, and he didn't leave it after he got it, and he took it with him.
Yan Chengjin was ecstatic in his heart and took back four corns.
The four corns were bigger than the one he had before.
"Have you seen anyone else buy it?" Yan Chengjin Road.
Xie Yu nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" The villain saw a scholar and bought it too. ”
"Pen and ink!"
The master hurriedly came up with pen and ink, Xie Yu began to describe the characteristics of the scholar from the face, and after a while, "No, the face is thinner, the eyes are very loud, the ears are shorter, and the ...... are longer."
A quarter of an hour passed, and a portrait of a scholar was presented in front of Yan Chengjin, which made him complain that the painting painted by the big cannibal was 108,000 miles away from this one.
He could tell at a glance who it was.
Wang Shouren......
What does Lao Wang do when he buys corn, try to make alchemy?
Wang Shouren lived in a remote courtyard in Liangxiang, and stayed in Liangxiang for a few days in order to consult with Song Jing.
