Chapter 177: The Big Deal 2
After the unprecedented Ten Days Shangyuan Lantern Festival, there were fewer strangely dressed envoys from Fanbang and exotic lands, and most importantly, without the envoys of the Jin and Liao people, Bianjing City finally became as lively as ever, with peace in the excitement. The bustle is naturally Goolan wine shops, flower streets and willow alleys, even at night; Of course, An Ning said that there was no more heart-pounding roar of arrows and shouts of killing in the city, when was there such chaos in Bianjing City? The most that the little people in the city are stealing some silver taels, cheating some money, even killing people, and they will also sneak around, beware of being caught by the public, how dare they be like the swords and crossbows between the Liao people and the Jin generals, not afraid of the king's law?
It's just that it comes and goes fast. Since the Liao people and the Jin generals fought on the Mahang Street, and flew out of Bianjing City in the flying car, Bianjing City went up to the imperial court and down to the common people, as if they had discussed it, no one has talked about it publicly, nor has it heard that the imperial court has investigated the responsibility of Kaifeng Mansion Yin because of the envoy's armed murder in broad daylight.
But during that time in Bianjing City, there were still three things that were discussed in private. The first thing is a major event that I have never heard of since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty: the Jinshi of the previous department, surnamed Zhang, and named Zhiye, was killed by thieves on the way to Juye, and his body was thrown into the woods on the side of the road. I heard that the dead Jinshi had been waiting in Bianjing City for almost two years to get such an opportunity, and he died before he could take office.
The second thing is that on the day when the Liao people fled with their horses, even the Duting Station where the Liao people stayed was gone, but fortunately, the thirty-foot-high Wanghuo Tower in Bianjing City was not a decoration, and the sergeants of the submarine fire team rushed to the scene and quickly extinguished the fire with the fire-fighting household goods. Some people say that the Liao people set fire to Dutingyi before leaving to vent their anger, and some people immediately stood up to refute it, saying that the Liao people left the city for an hour, and the water that Dutingyi left was gone, and this fire had nothing to do with the Liao people. The strange thing is that this time the capital pavilion is in the water, and the court is not humming or ha, as if it didn't happen, it is very difficult to understand.
The third thing is even more bizarre. On the fifth day after the Liao people left, more than a dozen carriages left the north gate of Bianjing City, escorted by a team of forbidden troops, and went north. According to the insider, the car was full of silk, silk and silver that the official family gave to the Liao people's horses, and the Liao people were in a hurry, and now they are sent to Yanjing. For a time, everyone said that the official family was benevolent, and every word was a thousand gold, which was a reward for the Liao people's horses, no matter how the Liao people's horses were in Bianjing, they still sent people to send these silver silks.
Of course, these more than ten cars of silver silk are not their own, no one feels distressed when they say it, and they forget it after saying it, seeing that spring is approaching, the people of Bianjing have begun to play with flower arrangement. Only Wang Hao, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he came back from the court every day, he was stuck at home.
That unlucky Jinshi, he arranged for him to take office, and he sent someone to die. He had to do this, although killing this Jinshi was not even a broken tail to survive, and even he couldn't remember the name of this Jinshi now. However, when he learned that Emperor Maode had sent people from the palace to guard the Duting Station and not allow anyone to enter or leave, he was a little worried, because one of the subordinates sent out by the shopkeeper of the Silk Village Zheng to dismiss those who sang the beautiful song was missing, and the two people sent by his henchman Xiao Jiu'er to set fire to the Duting Station did not come back. Putting these things together, Wang Hao realized that the people below had made a mistake, so he sent Xiao Jiu'er to personally lead people to hunt down and kill the Jinshi who took the official seal letter to Juye to take office.
This Jinshi is a man with official status, and he has been to his own house and seen himself, and what he said is more believable than those guys in the silk village and the idlers who sing glamorous songs on the street.
It is better to kill ten more such jinshi, and it is absolutely impossible to let such jinshi say a word that is not good for you!
Of course, Wang Hao also instructed his henchman Xiao Jiu'er to send someone to infiltrate Duting Yi to find out what was going on, and the most important thing was to eliminate the evidence of him and these things, so as not to let himself be unable to withdraw.
Xiao Jiu'er did a good job of this matter, and borrowed the sulfur, fire oil and other ignition materials carried by the two people who couldn't make the arson, and burned it clean. Presumably, there was no witness, and the official family did not ask again. The turmoil of more than ten days has finally fallen into the dust, and when February is about to end, Wang Hao's hanging heart has finally been put down.
It's just that the official family let the Liao Zhou Nan and his entourage leave, and afterwards sent more than a dozen carts of silk and silver to Fanbang to be rewarded, which made Wang Huang's heart ache, but also faintly uneasy.
The Liao people and the Jin people made a big fuss in Bianjing City, even if they couldn't deal with it because of their status as envoys, but the matter of coercing the emperor was too big, so they had to stay and kill the arrogance of the Liao people. In the final analysis, they are still afraid of the force of the Liao.
However, since the Liao people have fled, the official family, who has never been generous, still has to send someone to send those silver silks to Yanjing, which is a little intriguing. It is conceivable that the official family also has plans to push the boat down the river and let the Liao people go.
It's not just the Liao people who upset Wang Huang, but the Jin people are the same.
After the Liao people and the Jin people fought in Bianjing City, more than 100 Liao people fled from the city. The Jin people killed and injured more than ten people in Zhangjiayuanzi, and even the living female general was injured by the Liao people's explosive arrows and couldn't move. The people of the Imperial City Division took the first step in Kaifeng Mansion and took these injured Jin people away, saying that they wanted to track down the murder on the street.
Jin envoy Ulu secretly found Wang Huang and asked Wang Hao to help him hide the five Jin people who had not registered with the customs, such as the living girl, and find an opportunity to send them out of the Song Realm. The Ulu and his entourage who entered the customs legally would naturally be regarded as legitimate envoys by the Great Song Dynasty, but a few people such as the living girl who secretly crossed into the country, although the Song and Jin countries are still allies, will also be arrested by the Great Song Dynasty as a fine work. Coupled with the big fight in Bianjing City this time, Ulu was even more convinced that the Great Song Dynasty would not easily let go of the living girl and others, so he came to ask Wang Huang for help.
Wang Hao naturally wouldn't help in vain, so Ulu immediately promised that the 100,000 pieces of leather goods that he had promised to sell to Wang Hao at a low price would be given to Wang Hao, just to send the living girl and others out safely.
Only then did Wang Hao agree to come down, hide the living girl and others under the warehouse board of the cargo ship, take his name card, pretend to buy seafood from his own house, secretly change ships in Dengzhou, and go to sea with Ulu and others.
Before leaving, Ulu made an appointment with himself to hand over the leather goods to him in Taiyuan in mid-February, but he sent to Taiyuan to wait for the receiver to deliver a letter, and the Jin people sent people to Taiyuan first, saying that 100,000 pieces of leather goods were not a small amount, and it would always take some time, and they would have to pass through Ulzhou and other places in the middle, so they could only pretend to be caravans, and they had to pay transit duties, so that Wang Hao would send someone to Ulzhou in early March to pick them up.
Wang Hao has been thinking about this matter for the past two days: Could it be that the Jin people want to regret it? In order to save those tariffs, he let himself send someone to Ulju to pick up the goods?
