Chapter 568: Passing the Message Through the Eagle
Since its opening, the branch of Gao Kee Leather Goods Co., Ltd. in Bingzhou has done surprisingly well in business.
For about decades, Bingzhou has always been a military town of the Chinese Dynasty to resist the Turks, and the commerce in the city is not developed for the sake of it, mainly engaged in leather goods, and also engaged in mountain ginseng, deer antler velvet and other luxury goods as a supplement to the high score once opened, it was warmly sought after by the wealthy right of the family in Hebei, only half a month after the opening, Gao Liansheng brought back from Goguryeo sold nearly one-third, with the daily gold to describe the prosperity of Gao Liansheng's business these days, it is not an exaggeration.
Early this morning, Gao Liansheng drank a few more bowls of wine with several big buyers in Hengdai and other places last night, and fell asleep in the dormitory in the backyard of the semicolon, and was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Who? Come back later! Gao Liansheng turned over on the bed, didn't plan to get up and open the door, and casually commanded outside the door.
"Boss Gao, I'm Yu Xiaoren, the prince invites you to Jinyang Palace."
When Gao Liansheng heard the sound, he immediately got up from the bed, rushed over in three or two steps, opened the door, and kept saying to Yu Xiaoren outside the door: "Little Lao'er thought that the guy in the store called me to get up, but I didn't expect it to be General Yu's coming, so I was sluggish, sluggish." ”
With an anxious look on his face, Yu Xiaoren explained to Gao Liansheng: "Don't blame me for smashing your door, it's really the king's summons, if you go late, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage to you." Hurry up and change your clothes, just come with me now. ”
Gao Liansheng didn't know what was going on, his face turned white, and he asked tentatively: "General, why did the prince remember to summon me?" ”
Yu Xiaoren didn't enter the house either, just stood outside the door, urging Gao Liansheng to wash and change clothes, while comforting him: "I don't know what the specific thing is. When I came, I only heard Xian Yuluo say something, it seems that the prince received a letter from Chang'an early this morning, and then ordered me to pass you to see him, depending on the situation, it is probably not a bad thing, you don't have to worry. ”
Gao Liansheng was skeptical of Yu Xiaoren's words, hurriedly put on a brocade robe, and followed Yu Xiaoren out of the courtyard gate of the semicolon and walked towards Jinyang Palace.
As Yu Xiaoren said, Yang Guang received a handwritten letter from Taixue's master Su Wei early this morning, and learned that Zhang Xutuo had fallen into a trap set by others, so he remembered to order Yu Xiaoren to pass Gao Liansheng to see him.
Judging from the date written at the end of Su Wei's letter, Zhang Xutuo has been in prison and detained in Jingzhao Mansion for more than ten days, and even if he sets off from Bingzhou today and personally rides back to Chang'an on a fast horse to rescue him, it will take at least nearly ten days of work. In the past ten days, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Xutuo will not be hacked by the group that set up the bureau to frame him. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is how to deliver the reply letter he wrote to Su Wei back to Chang'an in the shortest possible time, and hand it over to Su Wei, asking him to save the life of Xia Zhang Xutuo, and it is best to be able to send him to the border of Hebei, so that he can ask him in person about the cause of the matter.
Voyeur prince loves concubine bathing? Although Yang Guang didn't believe that Zhang Xutuo could do such a thing, he also knew the seriousness of this matter, if someone reported the matter to his eldest brother Yang Yong, Zhang Xutuo could fall to the ground at any time, and even the teacher Su Wei would be difficult to save his life.
It was in a hurry to reply to Su Wei that Yang Guangcai suddenly thought of Gao Liansheng after thinking about it for a long time. Half a year ago, didn't Goguryeo King Goyu use a falcon to report to him and urgently summon him back to China? The distance from Liaodong to Bingzhou is not as far as the distance from Bingzhou to Chang'an, and if you use a falcon to send a message to Su Wei, it is much faster than sending a message on horseback, right?
So, he ordered Yu Xiaoren to urgently summon Gao Liansheng to come, wanting to borrow an eagle from him to deliver a message, bring a letter to Su Wei, and rescue Zhang Xutuo.
After Yu Xiaoren received the order to leave, Yang Guang personally picked up the pen in the main hall of Jinyang Palace and wrote a reply letter to Su Wei. In the letter, Yang Guang clearly told Su Wei that Zhang Xutuo was investigating a major case on his orders, and the so-called peeping woman bathing was purely framed by a traitor, and asked Su Wei to try to bring Zhang Xutuo to Hebei under his own rule as soon as possible.
As soon as the letter was written, Yu Xiaoren rushed to the outside of the hall with Gao Liansheng.
Yang Guang sat in the middle of the hall, looked up and saw Gao Liansheng who walked into the hall with a panic on his face, so he didn't rush to mention the matter to him, but smiled and pointed to Liu Fang, who was standing beside him with a saber, and asked him, "Boss Gao, do you know this general?" ”
Recently, the news that the King of Jin sent a general deep into the Turkic territory to kill Gao Baoning in one fell swoop has spread throughout the streets of Bingzhou City. Although Gao Liansheng was apprehensive, he didn't know what Yang Guang urgently called him to see him, but the businessman's cleverness was still there, and when he heard Yang Guang's question, he immediately guessed that the strong man standing beside Yang Guang with a saber was probably the general of the Sui army who killed Gao Baoning, but he shook his head with a smile and said that he didn't recognize him.
"He is General Liu Fang, who broke into Caochang Fort alone and killed Gao Baoning, and is now serving as a guard next to this king. I think that if it wasn't for Boss Gao to persuade the king of Goguryeo to expel Gao Baoning from the country and inform the king that he was hiding in the Turkic territory, maybe there would not be such a successful result today, so this king summoned Boss Gao today, and first wanted to express my gratitude to you in person. ”
When Gao Liansheng heard Yang Guang's words, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said humbly: "It is a blessing for the little old man to be able to serve the prince." In the future, if the prince has a place to find the little old man, please feel free to command, and the little old man will do his best to serve the prince. ”
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes rolled, and then he turned to the topic, and asked Gao Liansheng with a smile: "I heard Xiaoren say that Boss Gao returned to Bingzhou to open a branch and brought back a number of falcons, I don't know if any of them have been domesticated and can transmit information over a long distance?" ”
Gao Liansheng's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, and replied: "Don't hide it from the prince, three or four of the dozen Haidong Qingzhong that Xiao Lao'er brought to Bingzhou have indeed been specially domesticated and specially used to transmit the profit and loss information of goods to the source of goods in Liaodong. I don't know what the prince commanded? ”
"This king wants to borrow your falcon and use it to deliver back a letter from this king to Chang'an, does Boss Gao think he can do it?"
"It is said that it is borrowed, even if it is to give two to the prince, it is also the honor of the little old man. However, I don't know who is the receiver in Chang'an City? It must be known that the first thing to use a falcon to deliver a letter is that the two parties who send and receive the letter have agreed in advance, or they are both familiar with the art of falconry, otherwise even if the falcon flies to Chang'an, it is not in vain to know who to deliver the letter? Gao Liansheng asked Yang Guang a practical question.
