Chapter 247: Seeing a Mink Trapped Outside the Station

Jidu, now Yan is the most prosperous city in addition to Wuyang Xindu.

In an official residence in the city, three middle-aged men were sitting around a long seat and talking.

"Mr. Dongguo, I heard that you have been in our Great Wei for three years, right?"

"Yes, I, Dong Guoping, did stay in Daliang once!"

"Then why did you come to Yan Country again? Could it be that you are not satisfied with the girder? ”

These three people are Wei Si, Dong Guoping, and Nie Xian, who had a broken wrist.

I saw Dong Guoping sigh at this time.

"Of course, the life of Daliang is a place that all scholars and students yearn for, but people like me Dong Guoping are more suitable to stay in this remote Yan country!"

Wei Si was a little puzzled.

"Since you like Da Liang so much, sir, why did you choose to come to this bitter cold Yan country? What is the reason for this? ”

Dong Guo Ping replied.

"Because Daliang can't give me the opportunity to show my ambitions, but in this Yan country, I can show my talents!"

Then he asked again.

"Mr. Wei, I heard that you are Guo Xiangzai's friend in Daliang, right?"

Wei Si nodded.

"Yes, I met Guo Xiang in Zhao State in my early years, and after visiting Guo Xiang in Yan Country this time, I heard that Mr. Dong Guo is extremely good at governing places, so I specially came to ask you for a solution!"

Wei Si naturally didn't want to expose his identity, after all, he was a dignified King of Wei who actually came to Yan Kingdom to seek talent and dig the corner of King Yan's wall, which was known, so he still had it!

Dong Guoping is actually not very familiar with the identity of Mr. Wei in front of him, after all, he was introduced by Guo Kui, the Minister of State, and he can't help but give Guo Kui face.

"Mr. Wei, listening to your title, it must be the clan of the Great Wei Kingdom, right?

Wei Si thought about it and casually made up an identity.

"Yes, but my ancestor was Wei Chengzi back then, this time coincided with the current King of Wei remembering the affection of my ancestors, so he gave me a piece of land, and wanted me to govern, but I had no governance experience, so I took this opportunity to visit Guo Xiang in Yan Kingdom, and wanted to learn from him, but I didn't expect Guo Xiang to recommend you to me, I hope I didn't disturb Mr. You this time!"

Dong Guoping smiled.

"I see, if you don't dislike it, Mr. Wei, you can stay with me for a few days, if you have any questions, just ask me!"

Dong Guoping then asked Wei Si and Nie Xian to prepare an elegant place to live, and went to busy with their own affairs.

After Wei Si rested in his residence for a while, he suddenly remembered the mink, and he could also take advantage of the fact that it was not dark to go out for a walk and see this Jicheng, so he called Nie Xian to go out together and came to the street of Jicheng again.

After walking to the place where the Hu man who sold mink fur before was, he found that the Hu man was no longer there at this time, so Wei Si personally asked an old woman who had been selling bamboo baskets here:

"Auntie, may I ask, why isn't the bearded man who sells mink here?"

The aunt glanced up at Wei Si, and then paid attention to Nie Xian next to Wei Si, and was startled when she found out that Nie Xian actually broke his wrist.

"You guys? You guys......! ”

Wei Si naturally understood what this old woman meant, so he hurriedly explained to her.

"Auntie, although this friend of mine has a broken wrist, he is not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid... Don't be afraid! ”

When the old woman heard the explanation, she saw the kind smile on the face of the man with the broken wrist, and she let go of her fear.

"Did you just ask the bearded man who sells mink?"

Wei Si nodded.

"Yes!"

The old woman reached out and pointed to the west.

"That bearded man lives behind a giant sequoia tree five miles outside the city to the west!"

"You must want to buy its mink, right?"

Wei Si smiled.

"Yes, I want to buy that mink back and give it to my wife!"

The old woman smiled.

"I can't see that you are very good to your wife, but my old man has never been so kind to me!"

"But his mink has been sold for more than half a month, because it's too expensive, no one wants to buy it, and it doesn't want to reduce the price, can you really afford it?"

Wei Si replied.

"Since you like it, why bother with the high and low, I came here once before, but I didn't bring enough money, so I didn't buy it!"

The old woman couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, you rich people!"

"This amount of money is enough for us poor people to live for three years, but you rich people can use it to buy a piece of mink, I really can't figure it out!"

Wei Si didn't speak, and then together with Nie Xian, he followed the direction pointed by the old woman and hired a carriage to find the Hu people.

When I arrived at the place where the old woman was directed, I found that there was indeed a giant cedar tree here, and there was a huge mansion behind it, and there was a sign of "Lin Hu Post House" hanging in front of the door.

Wei Si asked Nie Xian beside him:

"This Hu man turned out to be Lin Hu from the northeast of Yan Kingdom?"

Nie Xian replied:

"Yes!"

"Since General Qin Kai led his troops to defeat Lin Hu a few years ago, a tribal leader named Hu Bing in Lin Hu sent people to negotiate peace with King Yan, and King Yan agreed to his request, so Lin Hu opened post stations around Yan Country to facilitate these Hu people to come to Yan Country for trade!"

Wei Si couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that we Central Plains people can still get along with these barbarian states!"

At this time, the door of the post house opened, and a man came out and looked at Wei Si and Nie Xian.

"Is there something wrong with you guys here?"

Wei Si responded.

"We're here to visit the gentleman who sells mink!"

The man said:

"Then you'll wait!"

Then I went back to the courtyard.

At this time, Nie Xian said to Wei Si:

"Something seems wrong with this man, master, have you noticed?"

Wei Si didn't pay attention to the man just now.

"What's wrong, why didn't I notice?"

Nie Xian said again:

"Master, didn't you find out that the boots that the man was wearing were only worn by officials?"

Wei Si recalled carefully, remembering that the boots worn by this man seemed to be very similar to the ones Guo Kui wore when he came to see him.

"It's... The person who looked at the door was actually wearing the boots of the officials of the Yan Kingdom, it seems that this Lin Hu Post Station is really a bit extraordinary! ”

Nie Xian said:

"yes, so I think there's definitely something wrong with that!"

At this moment, the post door was opened again, and it was still the same man as before.

"Are you going to come to Mr. Hu to buy mink?"

Wei Si immediately replied.

"Yes, we are here to buy mink from Mr. Hu!"

The man said.

"Okay, then you can take out the money in your hands first!"

Wei Si asked:

"If you want me to take out the money, don't you believe that we can't afford Mr. Hu's mink?"

The man replied:

"Yes, Mr. Hu said, anyone who is looking for it to buy and sell things must first let him know whether you have brought enough money, otherwise our Mr. Hu will not have so much time to meet you poor people!"

Wei Si was a little angry.

"You say we're poor? Do you dare to look down on us? ”

The man smiled contemptuously.

"If you really had enough money, you would have bought Mr. Hu's mink in the city a long time ago, so why did you come to see Mr. Hu at this time?"

Nie Xian couldn't help it at this time, and rushed over directly, swept his legs, and directly trampled the man under his feet.

"Presumptuous, who do you think you dare to be so rude to my master?"

The man struggled.

"You cripple, do you know who I am? How dare you offend me like that? ”

Nie Xian snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are, anyway, if you offend my master, you must be punished!"

The man had no intention of giving in.

"Let me tell you, I am Li Xin, the trade envoy of Jicheng, if you don't let me go quickly, when I return to Wuyang, inform my brother-in-law, General Qin Kai, that you will be divided into five horses!"

As soon as Wei Si heard that this person actually claimed to be the brother-in-law of Qin Kai, the general of the Yan State, he came over and said:

"Qin Kainai is a dignified general of Yan Guo, how can there be an uncle like you who is a dog's leg for the Hu people?"

"And you're actually the trade envoy of the Yan Kingdom!"

This Li Xin immediately replied:

"Even if someone like you makes a dog's leg for Uncle Hu inside, people still don't look down on you?"

"You guys let me go... Let me ......! ”

Then he screamed.

After a while, a group of eight-foot-tall Hu people walked out of the courtyard, and immediately surrounded Wei Si and Nie Xian.

Then came a man who was a merchant who sold mink skins during the day.

"Okay, where did the two animals come from, they are really bold enough to dare to make trouble at my Linhu Station?"

Li Xin also shouted loudly at this time:

"Mr. Hu... Mr. Hu, help me... Help me! ”

"Hurry up and have these two poor ghosts killed... Kill! ”

Wei Si found that the momentum was a little wrong, these tall Lin Hu strong men glared at himself and Nie Xian angrily and approached, as if they were going to eat the two of them, so he immediately explained to that Mr. Hu:

"My friend and I are here to buy your mink, not to fight with you!"

After Mr. Hu motioned for these strong men to stop, he asked:

"You said you wanted to buy my mink, can you afford it?"

Wei Si took out a sum of money from his arms and put it in front of Mr. Hu.

"Isn't it just a flash? Is that enough? ”

Mr. Hu looked at Wei Si again.

"Oh, I remember, it looks like we've met once before in Jicheng, right?"

魏嗣 says:

"yes, didn't you say it would take a break to buy your mink?"

"Now we have enough money to buy mink from you!"

Mr. Hu smiled lightly:

"I'm afraid you won't have enough money to buy my mink, unless you can pay for it!"

Wei Si couldn't help but say.

"Aren't you sitting on the ground? During the day, I said a lot, and now it's turned to five? ”

Mr. Hu pointed to the group of strong men around Wei Si.

"If you don't want to buy mink, then you have to pay the price you deserve for offending my Linhu Station today!"

Wei Si smiled lightly:

"Are you endangering us?"

Mr. Hu smiled coldly.

"So what? If you don't come out today, don't think about leaving alive today! ”

Wei Si was a little hesitant at this time, and glanced at Nie Xian, wondering if he was sure to deal with this group of strong men, but Nie Xian shook his head in despair.
