Chapter Thirty-Eight: Special Forces Disguise Themselves into the City, and the Public Hall Is Cleverly Buried**

Looking around the man's house again, Li Jing found that this was a very wealthy man, and concluded that this man was definitely not an ordinary small businessman, besides, the person who could supply silk to Agra was definitely not an ordinary person. Li Jing decided to have a good talk with this person.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Li Jing asked.

"You just call me Modi!"

"Alright! Modi: I want to ask if you want to make a fortune? ”

"Yes, of course!"

"Then cooperate with me, and I will not only keep you and your family safe, but also give you the opportunity to make a fortune. You must have guessed it, we are from the Ming Dynasty. Then I'll tell you, we're about to set up our shops in the Mughal Empire's port cities. This matter was agreed to by Shah Jahan and us. Li Jing said, "Listen to me, I can let you do business directly with our shop, so that you have a chance to make a fortune?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a chance to get rich! I just heard about it and didn't think it was true! ”

"It's true, it's just that without me to help you, people like you can't be relied on at all, there are too many people with power and money than you, who doesn't want to get rich by leaning on?"

Where could this businessman named Modi let go of such an opportunity, and his eyes lit up and said: "I listen to you, say, what are you going to do?" ”

"We want to go into Agra Castle! See Shah Jahan and his sons! Li Jing stared into Modi's eyes and said.

"This, this is going to kill your head!" Modi was so frightened that he trembled, but when he saw Li Jing's eyes shining in the candlelight, he immediately said, "What do you say?" ”

"That's good!" Li Jing said, "I know, you are a businessman, and you can't get close to Shah Jahan at all. But you can take us into Agra Castle, right? ”

The merchant thought that his situation had already been understood by these people, and he did not dare to hide it and said, "That's the case, I can take you in when I deliver the goods." However, the Jiahanji Palace where the emperor lives is not something that people like me can enter, and it is said that the emperor often goes to the back octagonal tower to live, and there are even more people who have never been there. Besides, it's impossible to see the emperor and the princes at the same time? But as he said the last sentence, the merchant paused noticeably. This didn't escape Li Jing's eyes, "Hmm! If you have reservations, it's not right, that's not a cooperative attitude! ”

The businessman was stared at by Li Jing's eyes in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes." There is one thing, I wonder if it is an opportunity? ”

"Tell me about it?" Li Jing slowed down her tone and said, "Cooperation is to discuss!" ”

"That's right, there are still two days to go, that is, the day when the emperor will meet with the representatives of his subjects from all over the country on the throne of the public hall, and all the princes will follow to meet these people. Only at this time can the emperor and the princes get together and make public appearances. The businessman made up his mind to cooperate with Li Jing and them, so he said everything.

"Even so, we still can't get into the public hall, can we?" Li Jing asked.

"Hmmm! On that day, the guards would be very strict, and ordinary people would not be allowed to enter! ”

"Shall we follow you into Agra Castle?"

"Yes, I have a shop in Agra Castle and a small courtyard where you can hide." The businessman is now very cooperative.

"But it's absolutely safe. Mainly, we can't finish the mission to expose you! Li Jing said to reassure the businessman.

"Thank you! My people will not betray me! The businessman confidently said, "I will feed them, including their families!" ”

"Well, how about we find an opportunity or we spend more gold and try to go into the public hall to have a look before the emperor receives the delegates?"

"This is not something that can be done with gold. Even if I came forward to do it, I couldn't escape it afterwards! "The businessman calmed down and was smart.

Li Jing didn't say anything, and the merchant thought for a while and said, "Yes, I can ask someone to come forward to do this." This man will be able to do this. ”

Listening to what Modi said, Li Jing had a point in her heart, spread out the map of Agra Castle drawn by that Subadar (**), and said, "How about you look at this picture?" ”

Modi looked down and exclaimed, "It's so detailed!" Even if I was killed, I wouldn't have been able to draw such a detailed picture. ”

When Li Jing heard this, she felt a little sorry for the dead Subadar (**), who must have tried his best to draw this picture in exchange for his life, but he still couldn't. There is no way, the secret mission is to have someone pay for their lives.

Li Jing couldn't help but say, "Agra Castle is well repaired!" ”

"Yes! It took many years to repair! ”

"How many children does Shah Jahan have?"

"There are thirteen! They were all born to the second concubine. Modi said, "The mausoleum outside is the one where this concubine died in childbirth when she gave birth to fourteen children for the emperor!" It took the emperor twenty-two years to build this mausoleum, and it was not just repaired. The mausoleum is all made of white marble. Countless gold and silver were spent. However, the emperor was also really infatuated, and the concubine did not remarry after her death. The Emperor could see the mausoleum from his residence in Agra Castle opposite. It is said that the emperor would look from there for a long time every day. It's not easy for an emperor to be like this! ”

Li Jing was also a little moved by Modi's words, "Is that the concubine that Shah Jahan got back from Persia?" ”

"Yes," Modi said, "the first queen can't have children!" ”

After chatting for a while, Li Jing let everyone sleep.

The next day, Li Jinghe took ten people, changed into very good clothes, put on shoes, followed the merchant, carried a lot of goods, and crossed the Yamuna River by boat. He also hired a lot of camels, and the owners of these camels were very familiar with Modi, and Modi did not use his people, but let Li Jing and Liu Jun lead the camels to follow. They came to the city from which they entered at the south gate of the Agra Castle. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate were obviously familiar with Modi, who was brightly dressed and extraordinary, and after greeting them, they took Li Jing and them into the city.

Li Jing and Liu Jun have also seen the world, but they are still shocked by the majesty of Agra Castle.

Liu Jun whispered to Li Jing: "We should occupy here!" ”

"Shut up and look around the road!" Li Jing whispered.

"Don't delay your eyes!" Yoo Jun said mischievously.

Modi is really not an ordinary person, and there is a shop with a yard in Agra Castle.

After sending off the caravan, Modi immediately went out. After a while, Modi came back with a grin.

Li Jing knew that Modi's business was done, "There is good news? ”

"Alright, you can go and visit the public hall for three people!" Modi said, "My friend is friends with the general who is in charge of the public hall guards. He promised to take three people in for a visit! A lot of benefits are needed, though! ”

Li Jing did not hesitate to give the gold to this Modi. Modi's eyes immediately sparkled. Obviously, he would benefit a lot from this.

After Modi put away the gold, he took out a few more gorgeous clothes for Li Jing, Liu Jun, and the general to change. He also said to Li Jing and them: "You are pretending to be merchants from XXX place, and they can't understand what you say." You don't understand what they're saying. My friend, it is the first time you have come to Agra Castle and want to visit the public hall. But keep it a secret. ”

A moment later, a businessman-like man drove a horse-drawn carriage to Modi's shop.

Modi went out and muttered to him for a while, then asked Li Jing and them to follow them into the car. On the way, Li Jing saw that Agra was really prosperous, and it was really selling everything. But the people are all dressed very well, and they are completely different from the ones who sell things on the docks.

When he came to the public hall, a general was already waiting inside, obviously he had received a very satisfactory gold, greeted a few people warmly, and led Li Jing and them to start visiting the public hall. As he walked, the general enthusiastically introduced where the king's throne was, where the princes were, and where the ministers were. Li Jing also listened carefully.

Li Jing kept praising the beauty of this place, and suddenly Li Jing said: "Such a beautiful place, the flowers and trees here are not commensurate!" ”

The general was a little displeased when he heard what had happened.

Li Jing immediately said, "General, I have made a small fortune in business. I would like to pay my own money and buy some better flowers and trees to replace these. Please give me a chance to show my sincerity, General? Fulfilled my heart's desire, I will thank the general! ”

The general thought that this was a rich man who wanted to show his face here, not to mention that he could still get "thanks", he changed the flowers and trees, and it can be said that he bought them himself, so there was no reason not to agree, and immediately said: "It's easy to say, are they all introduced by friends?" ”

It turned out that on the way, Li Jing saw a big flower shop on the side of the road, so she thought of the idea of sending flowers.

Li Jing and Liu Jun began to count how many pots were needed to replace these flowers and trees on the spot.

The general and his friend were beside him, quietly laughing at the rich man.

After agreeing with the general, they would bring flowers the next day, and they left the public hall.

Out of the public hall, Li Jing asked the general to say to Modi, who greeted him: "If you want to live, your friend can't live!" ”

Modi looked at Li Jing and nodded.

When he came to the front of Modi's shop, his friend didn't want to get out of the car and wanted to go straight to the car.

Modi said that he would invite him in for tea, but the friend followed Modi to the backyard. As soon as he entered the room, Yoo Jun suddenly shot from behind and broke the man's neck.

Modi had never seen a murder so neat, and his legs trembled a little with fright.

Li Jing told him not to be afraid.

Modi, who had calmed down a bit, immediately called a guy and muttered for a while. The two men carried the friend's body to the car, put him in a sleeping position, and the man drove the car out of town. Modi sent people to follow the carriage all the way out of the city, and nothing happened to be reassured.

Li Jing told Modi to send a person with a face to buy flowers, put the flowers elsewhere first, and not let the flower seller know that it was you who bought the flowers, and then pull them back in the evening.

Modi did such a thing in a very orderly manner, and when Hua Yun entered the courtyard at night, Li Jing asked Modi and them to avoid it. Start burying ** in the pot. It's all a fierce *****. Originally, I thought it would be useless to blow up the city walls.

Li Jing and Liu Jun were busy with people in the middle of the night, but they put ** into the flower pot, put the flowers into the flower pot, and transported the flowers out of Modi's shop before dawn.

Li Jing and Liu Jun slept for a while, got up to eat something, and then led someone to hire a carriage and pull the flowers to the front of the public hall, where the general was anxiously waiting!

He had taken a few people to visit yesterday and got a lot of gold, and when he returned home, his family was happy. He said there would be good things tomorrow! Therefore, he looked forward to someone sending flowers early, so that the person who sent the flowers would give him benefits, and he could also report how much silver he used to change the flowers, which is a good thing to earn at both ends. So beautiful that he didn't know what luck to go!

Seeing that Li Jing was bringing people to send flowers, the general felt a little embarrassed, so he said: "It's hard work for you to send them, let my soldiers do the things about arranging flowers inside!" ”

The general had good intentions, but Li Jing was embarrassed, so he had to force a smile and signal for the general to come over, the two approached the general, and Li Jing quietly stuffed a piece of gold into the general's hand. The general was secretly shocked, this was a lot of gold. With a smile on her face immediately, Li Jing said through the general matter: "We want to arrange flowers in the public hall in person, so that when we return home, we can brag to everyone!" ”

The general said in his heart: "These stupid guys, I don't appreciate it if I want you to save some effort. But he said, "Well, do whatever you want!" However, this morning must be set up, and this place will be sealed in the afternoon, and tomorrow our emperor will meet with representatives of the people from all over the country here. ”

Li Jing: They nodded again and again and said thank you, general.

According to the marks made, Li Jing placed several flower pots around the emperor's throne and around the princes' seats. After arranging, he was still not at ease, because he didn't want others to move these flower pots, Li Jing asked everyone to bring water to water the flowers, and cleaned the surroundings.

The general who was hiding in the shadows looked at Li Jing and they were done, and laughed in his heart.

When Li Jing and the others were leaving, they greeted him and said, "Next time I come here, I will visit you." ”

The general said: "Good! Next time, be sure to come to me directly! ”

However, the general also had some ideas, and he didn't understand how to spend so much gold on this. But he touched the ingot of gold and said, "No matter! Lao Tzu's gold is real when he gets it! ”

Back at Modi's shop, Li Jing asked Modi: "If something happens to the public hall, a city-wide search will be carried out to arrest if there are people hiding here!" ”

Modi said: "Don't worry, as long as they don't tear down my house, they won't be able to find you!" Besides, if I find you, my family won't survive! ”

"How's that friend who sent Cheng yesterday?" Li Jing asked.

"The man who sent it has returned, and the body has been thrown into the Yamuna River, and his carriage has been thrown by the river! Even if someone finds out, they will think that they have encountered a robber! Someone knows that his carriage is out of town! Modi said.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as the next day dawned, Li Jing wanted to go out to see the situation, Modi smiled and said: "It's useless to go out now, those noble lords are still sleeping lazy, you go out now, it's easy to attract the attention of others!" ”

Agra Castle is populated by many wealthy people, a place of luxury, and people here don't mind losing that much of their territory.

This Shah Jahan, but with the spirit of a strong man who broke his wrist, cut off the Ganges Delta and asked the Ming Dynasty to no longer march to the Mughal Empire, his backyard was on fire, if the Ming Dynasty did not stop attacking, the backyard would be even more chaotic. This time, he was anxious for the people from all over the country to come to him, just to appease the place.

This time, many people were sent from each Suba, and Shah Jahan ordered everyone to be entertained. However, there have been some problems in the past two days, which has made Shah Jahan feel a little worried. That is, there was a Subadar (**) who suddenly disappeared, his boat was washed up on the riverbank, and the boatman on the boat was killed, and Subaidar (**) was alive and dead. Two soldiers who had left the city the day before yesterday also suddenly disappeared. These things rarely happen in Agra.

At this time, in order not to cause confusion, Shah Jahan sent people to secretly reconnoiter around Agra and beyond. He didn't want anything to happen, especially when the delegates were in Agra. Distraught, Shah Jahan consulted a psychic saint, who told him to stay safe these days. Shah Jahan was even more distraught.

For the sake of safety, Shah Jahan ordered that the public hall be cordoned off one afternoon in advance. At the same time, people were sent to carefully inspect the safety of the entrances and exits, as well as the situation of the site.

Shah Jahan woke up early that morning, but during breakfast, the waiter dropped a plate on the floor, and Shah Jahan felt in a bad mood and punished the waiter severely.

After breakfast, Shah Jahan asked his courtiers, "How many princes are there to take a breath with you today?" ”

"The five princes who are old enough will follow His Majesty to attend!"

"Is Aurangzeb going too?"

Aurangzeb was the third son, and this son was Shah Jahan's favorite and most uneasy, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking. In fact, if Shah Jahan does not die this time, he will be imprisoned to death by this third son, Aurangzeb, after seizing power.

The courtiers felt that Shah Jahan was asking a little strange, he had already said that his five sons who were old enough to go, why did Shah Jahan still ask himself, but he didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly replied: "The third prince Aurangzeb is also with you!" ”

"Oh! Then let him sit closer to me! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The courtier agreed.

Many of the delegates from all over the country came to Agra for the first time, and they also knew that it was Shah Jahan who had lost the battle, and many places began to disobey him, and invited them either to listen to their opinions, or to win them over. Therefore, Shah Jahan entertained them with good food and drink, and they did not appreciate it at all. Since coming to Agra, they have been conflicted when they see such a splendid castle, which was built with their blood and sweat.

When I came to the public hall today and saw such a majestic hall, I was shocked and indescribable, because such a hall costs a lot of silver.

As soon as Shah Jahan appeared with his ministers and princes, he made a mess in the hall, and it was immediately quiet!

Shah Jahan waved his hand to everyone, and then came to the throne and sat down, and when the ministers and princes saw Shah Jahan sit down, they all found their seats to sit down!

To highlight the third prince, Aurangzeb, his seat was placed to the left of Shah Jahan's throne.

Everyone fell silent, and the master of ceremonies said, "Please our supreme respect, the great Shah Jahan Emperor to speak for all of us!" ”

Shah Jahan originally led his troops to defeat the battle, and his confidence was a little lacking, but at this time, he had to show his kingly demeanor! Shah Jahan glanced down majestically and exclaimed, "Subjects of the Mughal Empire! …..”

But before the words fell, several flower pots around Shah Jahan suddenly exploded, and Shah Jahan was blown up into the sky along with the throne.
