A centurion came up and said to Murong Changge: "Patriarch, I always feel that it will be inappropriate for us to do this, why didn't Mohe Dagan send someone to rob himself, but let us rob, although we can keep half of the robbed goods, why didn't he swallow it alone, but gave us such a big benefit, he can do it himself, you look at dozens of carts of porcelain and tea bricks, at least worth 200,000 yuan!" ”

Murong Changge frowned when he heard this, after he saw this caravan and launched an attack, he also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what the problem was.

"Forget it, no matter, since you've already robbed it, what's the use of talking about it now? Tell the boys to speed up! ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" The centurion couldn't think of any problems, so he could only follow Murong Changge's words.

After the rise of the Turks, the Xianbei people and the Roulan people on the grassland were wiped out successively, but they combined with the Turks and other tribes to form tribes with other names, and the Daxi tribe is one of the descendants of the Xianbei tribe.

A group of caravan guards with no horses and only waist knives were the opponents of the Daxi cavalry, who were extremely strong in cavalry and archery, and they were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour, and the Daxi cavalry drove northward in carriages loaded with porcelain and tea bricks.

Luo Jiaren and Sun Sihai rode their horses and galloped wildly for more than an hour before they felt that there were no pursuers behind them, so they slowly slowed down and ran, Luo Jiaren asked while riding his horse: "Sun Dart, do you see clearly who attacked our caravan?" ”

Sun Sihai has been going back and forth between Chang'an and the Western Regions for a long time, and of course he is very familiar with the countries of the Western Regions and the Turkic tribes, but he can't recognize the identity of the attacking cavalry, he shook his head and said: "I can't recognize them, they are dressed strangely, and they are different from the Turkish tribes in this area, but I remember the appearance of their leader."

Luo Jiaren was relieved, "That's good." That's good, as long as you know the object, you won't be afraid of them running away! Hiss - so cold".

Three days later, Luo Jiaren and Sun Sihai finally arrived at the Broken Leaf Water, gave the captain some copper coins to cross the Broken Leaf Water, and went straight to the Broken Leaf City.

Zhao Ziliang had just returned from inspecting the garrison in Xincheng, and when he returned to the governor's mansion with his entourage, he saw a large group of people surrounding the door. Le Ma stopped, jumped off the horse, Yun Dingtian, who was on duty in the Governor's Mansion today, saw it and ran down the steps with a few soldiers to break through the crowd and came to Zhao Ziliang to take the reins, "Welcome the general back to the house!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded. Pointing to the dozens of people surrounding the door, he asked, "What's going on?" Why are there so many people around the gate of the Governor's Mansion? ”

Yun Ding Tiandao: "Oh, that's the case, there is a large caravan from Chang'an who took the route of Moon Bow City, and when it arrived at the north bank of Daqing Pond, it was raided by a group of cavalry, only the caravan shopkeeper and the dart head of the caravan desperately escaped, and now the shopkeeper of this caravan is holding the guarantee ticket purchased in Yanqi Town to ask the Governor's Mansion for compensation!" ”

Luo Jiaren, who was kneeling at the door of the Governor's Mansion and shouting grievances, also saw the arrival of Zhao Ziliang and his party at this time, although he was surprised by Zhao Ziliang's youth, but he traveled all year round and saw too many people. He also has rich life experience, and he can see at a glance that Zhao Ziliang's identity is not low, so he immediately got up from the ground and fell down in front of Zhao Ziliang and cried: "Adult, the villain is wronged." Please make the decision for the villain! ”

The muscles on Zhao Ziliang's face trembled a few times, and he turned his head and asked Yun Dingtian: "Since people have come to shout grievances, why is there no one in the Governor's Mansion to deal with it?" It makes the people watch in front of the house, what kind of system does it become? ”

Yun Dingtian clenched his fists in embarrassment and said, "General." Lord Liu went to General Pei City, Ye Zhicheng and He Hunting City to inspect government affairs, and he was not on duty in the mansion, and no one else could handle this matter. His subordinates had already told him to come back another day, but he just didn't listen, and his subordinates had no choice! ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he helped Luo Jiaren up and said: "This shopkeeper, you should get up first, your affairs, General Ben will handle it for you, you go into the mansion with General Ben first, this is not the place to talk."

Luo Jiaren was overjoyed and exclaimed: "It's really a big man in the sky, thank you to the general!" ”

Coming to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang sat behind the main desk, pointed to a chair next to him and said to Luo Jiaren: "Sit down and talk about it, talk about it in detail!" ”

Luo Jiaren only felt so happy that he was about to cry, you must know that he has not been in and out of the official yamen hall, but no official has ever let a lowly businessman like him sit down, he didn't expect to be treated so politely here, he became more and more respectful to Zhao Ziliang, trembling and sitting on the chair with half of his buttocks, he began to introduce: "General, villain Luo Jiaren, is a person from Chang'an, things are like this・・・・・・"

Zhao Ziliang listened to Luo Jiaren quietly and asked, "Shopkeeper Luo, do you know who raided your caravan?" ”

Luo Jiaren shook his head and said: "General, the villain doesn't know, although the villain has been back and forth between Chang'an and the Western Regions many times, but the people here all look similar, and the villain can't tell what is the difference between the tribes in the Western Regions, but the dart master of the villain's caravan, Sun Sihai, is very familiar with this area, and he should be able to provide some clues."

"Oh? Where is that Sun Darthead? ”

"Just outside the mansion, he escaped with the villain!"

Zhao Ziliang said to Chu Ge, who was standing at the bottom: "Go and let Sun Darttou come in and speak!" ”

"No!"

After a while, Chu Ge walked over with Sun Sihai, after a few days of escaping, this dart head who lives on the roadguard all the year round is also extremely embarrassed at this time, the previous heartiness is gone, replaced by a face full of wind and frost, he walked to the middle of the hall and bowed down: "Grass man Sun Sihai to meet the general!" ”

"No excuses, sit down and talk!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, he didn't intend to popularize the concept of equality for the Tang Dynasty, it was thankless to do so, and he would be regarded as an outlier.

"Thank you, General!" Sun Sihai was much calmer than Luo Jiaren, but he didn't dare to be too casual.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Sun Zhuangshi, do you know who attacked your caravan?" ”

Sun Sihai turned to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Back to the general's words, the grass people are not sure, the grass people have not traveled back and forth between Chang'an and the Western Regions once or twice, and they also have some understanding of the Turkic ten surname tribes, but the people who attacked our caravan that day were not like the people of the ten tribes of the Turks, their clothing is somewhat similar to the clothing of the Turkic people, but they are different, their weapons, bows and arrows, armor and clothing have some characteristics of the Xianbei people."

After listening to Sun Sihai's words, Zhao Ziliang asked Luo Jiaren: "Shopkeeper Luo, what kind of goods are your goods?" How much is it worth? ”

"Back to the general's words, the villain's batch of goods are all fine porcelain and high-grade tea bricks, and the villain has spent 200,000 yuan in order to raise this batch of goods, this is the guarantee issued by the Governor's Mansion purchased by the villain in Yanqi Town, please take a look at the general!" Luo Jiaren said, took out a piece of printed paper from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Zhao Ziliang listened to Luo Jiaren's words, almost gasped, the purchase price cost 200,000 yuan, took the guarantee ticket from Chu singer and looked at it, and carefully checked it, this is indeed the guarantee ticket issued by the Governor's Mansion in various parts of Anxi and the Silk Road on the Northern Line, he personally supervised it, absolutely yes, now Luo Jiaren's caravan has been robbed, according to the agreement, the Governor's Mansion will compensate Luo Jiaren for 300,000 yuan in compensation costs.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ziliang said to Chu Ge: "Go and let Wang Can check and see if there are any tribes on the grassland that have robbed the caravan, if there is no news coming out, you can pay attention to the situation of that batch of goods, a large number of fine porcelain and tea bricks, the robbers will definitely not use so much, they will definitely find a way to sell the stolen goods and exchange them for cash, let him pay more attention to the news in this regard, and if he finds the situation, report it immediately!" ”

Chu Ge agreed: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Luo Jiaren again: "Shopkeeper Luo, do you still have any money on you now?" ”

Luo Jiaren didn't know what Zhao Ziliang meant by asking this, and hesitated: "There are still some more, I don't know what the general means?" ”

"Oh, that's the case, this general accepted the complaint of the shopkeeper Luo on behalf of the Governor's Mansion, but the Governor's Mansion can't listen to the words of the shopkeeper Luo, so it is necessary to send someone to investigate and verify the situation, if the situation is found to be true after investigation, the Governor's Mansion will compensate 300,000 yuan in accordance with the agreement that the shopkeeper Luo purchased the insurance ticket, but it will take time, Shopkeeper Luo, you can find a place to live in Broken Leaf City, but you must report your specific address to the Governor's Mansion, if there is news from the Governor's Mansion, Someone will be sent to inform you to come and handle the claim! Shopkeeper Luo, General Ben handled it like this, what do you think? ”

Luo Jiaren hesitated and asked, "Then ask the general, how long will it take?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Generally, there will be news within seven days to half a month, Shopkeeper Luo rest assured, if your situation is true, the Governor's Mansion will definitely not sit idly by, not only will it compensate you for your losses, but also will send troops to deal with the robbers who raided your caravan, no matter who it is or how powerful it is."

Luo Jiaren breathed a sigh of relief, got up, took out a golden ticket from his cuffs, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Please ask the general to bother more about this matter, the villain is out and has no long things, this little meaning is to honor the general, and please don't be too little."

It was obviously a golden ticket issued by Chang'an Huitong Yinzhuang, a note specially designed to facilitate large-scale transactions by merchants, and it could be cashed in any town with Huitong Yinzhuang in the Tang Dynasty, and even the countries of the Western Regions recognized its creditworthiness.

Zhao Ziliang's face changed, but he soon showed a smile again, and said to Luo Jiaren: "Shopkeeper Luo's mind, General Ben has received it, and please take this thing back to Shopkeeper Luo, if Shopkeeper Luo really wants General Ben to put some effort into your matter, don't make it difficult for General Ben, okay, take it back!" Chu Ge, you send Shopkeeper Luo and Sun Zhuangshi out and take them to register! ”

"No!"

After the two left, Zhao Ziliang sat on a chair and said to himself: "300,000 yuan! It's a big loss! (To be continued.) )
