The old Shijia store in He Bolao City is still very lively, the flow of people at the door is blazing, and the store is also pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the sound of five drinking and six is endless.

Shi Chongzhi was a little absent-minded, he leaned on the counter, looking at these merchants, if before, each of them was a golden forest golden beard cake, but now, who knows if there is a Tubo bearded dog here?

Hu Gouzi, is their Hu businessmen, for the kind of silver money issued by the Tubo people, obviously there are a lot of impurities, the workmanship is also poor, but it has to be equivalent to the gold and silver coins from the Western Regions, people don't recognize it, so they rely on the knife in their hands to forcibly carry it out, this is not what Hu Gouzi is.

Slander is slander, you really have to see the Tubo people, you still have to bend down, on other people's territory, how to get up the waist pole, no one will be able to get along with business, let alone anyone, with their own lives.

"Shopkeeper, an upper room, is there any?"

In the midst of his thoughts, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts, and he saw that in the store, I don't know when, a very tall man came in, and the two guards behind him were also big-shouldered and round-waisted, and their eyes were vigilant.

Shi Chongzhi didn't speak, he didn't stare at the people, he had the greeting of the shopkeeper, he only listened to the other party's accent, and knew that this was a merchant from the north, speaking a not very proficient Bolu dialect, perhaps Sogdian was the mother tongue.

"The guest officer is lucky, there is just one room left, and only then did the guest leave, do you want to stay for a long time, or do you want to make a point?" The shopkeeper didn't doubt it, and asked politely.

"Hit the point, stay for a few days and leave."

Kang Laosi handed over a piece of paperwork, with a smile on his face, and at first glance he was a Hu businessman who was used to going south and north.

"It turned out to be Kang Langjun from Xizhou, the room is above, the second room on the right hand of the upstairs, room B." The shopkeeper said as he hung a sign in the cabinet at the back, and at the same time turned over a notice on it, which read "full".

Just as he was about to call a guy to take these merchants upstairs, Shi Chongzhi on the side suddenly stood up.

"No need to call people, I'll lead them myself."

After that, he took the paperwork, glanced at it, and quietly handed it back to Kang Laosi.

This glance has confirmed the conjecture in his heart, because of this document, he had seen it a few days ago, and a series of things that happened later were all related to the Kang Langjun from Xizhou on the document!

On the second floor, it is arranged according to the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and the number B room is the second room after going upstairs, Shi Chongzhi personally pushed the door open for them, and introduced it warmly and thoughtfully, but his eyes turned around outside the door.

No one followed.

Kang Laosi made a look, and the two sergeants dressed as servants willingly held the door, put their ears on the lintel, and listened carefully to the movement outside.

He turned around and looked at Shi Chongzhi with a smile, so what else didn't he understand.

"Dare to ask what the honorable driver is." Before Shi Chongzhi could speak, he asked first.

"A certain surname is Shi, and he is the owner of this store."

The person was right, and Kang Laosi let down his guard at this time: "I am waiting for Wulang's order to come to find Shilangjun, there are some things that I may need your help." ”

Sure enough, Shi Chongzhi's face was embarrassed, and the other party took the pass and reported the name of Wulang, and he understood that it was not a good thing.

"I won't hide it from you, last time, Gorou and Ji Erlang made too much trouble in this city, and we were all targeted by the Tubo people, and I am afraid it will not be easy to do what we want to do."

"It's easy, I won't come to Shi Langjun, I can't hide it, this time, I'm just waiting for a front station, and there is a team behind."

Shi Chongzhi was shocked: "Datang, have you sent troops?" ”

"The soldiers of the four towns of Anxi are a hundred miles away." Kang Laosi nodded and told him the truth, so that these people's hearts could be appeased, otherwise why would people risk their lives to do things for them.

Shi Chongzhi's face was not happy, the war was together, and it was these businessmen who were unlucky, whether it was the Tubo people or the Tang people, they couldn't afford to offend, but at this point, could he refuse.

"If you have any orders, you might as well show them, and if you can do it, you will not refuse." He gritted his teeth and said, the left and right have also offended the Tubo people, it is not good to even the Tang people to be offended, in the final analysis, the Tang people who control the land of the Western Regions are the lifeblood of these Sogdians, great, the line of Tubo is abandoned.

Kang Laosi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, they had just arrived, and there were only three of them, and they couldn't do anything they wanted, and only by relying on locals like Shi Langjun could they make some noise.

In the official residence of the Tubo people in the city, Shang Jiezan sat gloomily on the cushion in the middle, staring at the Bolu girl kneeling on the ground without blinking, and her cannibalistic eyes made her tremble uncontrollably, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

The girl obviously misunderstood, thinking that he would do something, but in fact, how could he be in the mood at the moment, not to mention, such a girl who had not grown up was not in his eyes at all.

"You, go and call someone in."

Hearing his voice, the girl raised her head in horror, her eyes dazed.

In a hurry, he forgot that the other party didn't understand the Tibetan dialect, Shang Jiezan lowered his tone and changed it to Bolu dialect: "Go and call those officials in, just say that I have an invitation." ”

The girl heard it well, and hurried down and ran out in a panic, and a moment later several men followed her in.

"I don't know, what are the commands of the noble man who summoned us."

The man at the head first looked at it, then lowered his head, and like the others behind him, he bent down and saluted.

"Have you heard the rumors in the city?" Shang Jiezan's tone was very low, and everyone was stunned.

"I don't know which one the noble man said?"

Shang Jiezan suddenly raised his head and swept over their faces one by one: "Pretend to be confused, which one it is, you won't know." ”

Several men exchanged a look, and immediately understood his intentions, I don't know when, suddenly rumors spread in the city, some said that the Tang army had arrived, some said that the Tang people occupied the Poyi River, and the defenders of the bridgehead and the cavalry of Xi Dongzan were all annihilated, these news spread with noses and eyes, of course they heard it, but at this time, they could only pretend to be confused.

"Isn't it, about the Dons?" The man in the lead asked tremblingly.

Shang Jiezan snorted from his nose: "You must quickly arrest the person who spreads the rumors and behead them in public to warn everyone." ”

"This ......" several people were a little embarrassed, but they still took the lead and reminded boldly: "The soldiers in the city have all been taken away by Dongben, and our people have also gone to the Poyi River, there are only a few hundred people in the city now, and it is not easy to maintain, how can there be idle soldiers and horses to arrest, these rumors don't know where they came from, just a few of us, where can we find them?" ”

"Huh? You won't. Shang Jiezan's face sank, and his eyes were unkind.

"Ken, Ken, we are all willing, but nobleman, do you want to send a letter to Dongben and ask him to send some troops and horses back, there is an army in the city, and those people will not believe rumors."

Shang Jiezan looked at the man in charge with some surprise, and actually dared to play with him, what does this mean, the rumors have affected the psychology of these upper-class people in Bolu, and they don't believe in the rule of the Tubo people here.

If he had soldiers in his hands, he would not hesitate to take down these people and then send troops to control their families, but for now, he could only focus on appeasement, at least until Xi Dongzan returned to the army.

Shang Jiezan had an idea, and slowed down the expression on his face: "With Fujiqiao in hand, the Tang people can't beat it, your Dongben will return to the city soon, these days, you work hard, don't let rumors spread in the city, as long as the situation is stabilized, you will be rewarded for your merits in the future." ”

"Thank you for your compassion, we will definitely live up to our mission."

Several men bowed respectfully and withdrew, and when the boy sent them out, the man at the head glanced at her, intentionally or unintentionally, and the girl nodded imperceptibly, but did not dare to say a word.

"What should I do, I really want to listen to him and go and investigate the people in the city?"

"It's always going to be done." The man at the head said with disdain: "The Tubo people are afraid of this, most of those rumors are true, once the Tang people attack, we will still bury them?" ”

When he was some distance away from the official residence, the man at the head snorted coldly and turned his head to look in the direction of the official residence: "The women of the Mudogjee family were also slaughtered by them at will." ”
