Chapter 040: Extortion

There is Liquanfang in the north of Xishi, formerly known as Chengmingfang, and later out of Liquan, so it was renamed Liquanfang. To the south of the West Gate, there is a shrine.

When Al Medi first arrived in Chang'an, he settled here. The high priest who presided over the affairs of the church here was the Zhongcao people, and many of the believers were also Zhongcao people.

The High Priest Adar was a tall and straight old man, with a thick beard and hair joined together, a high nose and deep eyes, and the characteristics of a bearded man were very obvious. He had big bright eyes, and his gaze was gentle and calm, revealing devotion and faith in God. The High Priest was overjoyed to see Almadi again, as if he had seen his long-lost daughter return.

He caressed El Maddie's face, tears streaming down his face. "Al Maddy, where have you been all these days, why don't you come home to see?"

Almadi knelt before the high priest and kissed his hand, bursting into tears. "Ahura willing, Almadi is back."

After hearing what happened to Elmadi, Adar sighed. He had been looking for Al Maidy, but he didn't expect that Al Maddy was in the West Market next door, and was resold as a slave three times.

After talking about the old days, Al Maddy relayed the news to Cao Yena, and at the same time asked for Adar's help to find a child who was about the same as Worm Niang to carry out the plan. Adar nodded repeatedly, turned around and brought a little girl.

Li Zaixing smiled when he saw this child. Maybe there is really the blessing of the gods in the dark, this little girl is not only about the same age as the insect girl, but also has seven or eight points of resemblance, especially like the appearance of the insect girl after dressing up as Hu Tong.

"So like?" Li Zaixing said with a smile.

"Ahura bless." Adar smiled, "She should be regarded as the cousin of the insect mother, her mother and Cao Ye are siblings. ”

Li Zaixing said secretly, no wonder it looks so similar, it turned out to be cousins. "What's her name?"

"There is a Persian name called Mitra, and the Chinese name is Cao Mitt."

Li Zaixing rubbed his nose, and said in his heart that this Chinese name is also awkward enough, just like that Cao Ye, it is not the name of the Central Plains when he hears it. He pulled Mitra over and said, "You are still called Mitra, but you also have a nickname called Worm Niang, understand?" ”

Mitra nodded sensibly, blinked a pair of big blue eyes, and stared at Li Zaixing curiously.

Adar then summoned a pair of young and vigorous twin women, and said to Elmadi: "They were the princess's maidservants just like you, and they have been looking for the princess all these years, and it is useless to stay here, so let him follow you." This one is called Julia, and she is the sister, and the other is Hestia, and she is the younger sister. ”

Al Maidi was overjoyed and turned around to ask Li Zaixing. Li Zaixing looked at the two women carefully, and he didn't recognize which sister for a long time, that was the younger sister, the two of them were the same height and looked the same, although they were not as burly as Al Maddie, they were also tall among women. It seems that Al Maddy is not lying when he says that the general tallness of the Cao people in China is not true.

After discussing the relevant confidentiality matters with Adar, Li Zaixing took Mitra out of the ancestral hall. As he passed through the West Market, he paused and said to Al Maidi, "Let's go to the profiteer and get the money back." ”

Al Maidi smiled, turned his horse's head, and followed Li Zaixing into Hu City. They came to Li Zaixing's walk yesterday to buy Al Maidi, and as soon as the round-faced Hu businessman saw Li Zaixing, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Master, are you going to buy someone or sell someone today?" He glanced at Al Maidy and said with concern, "This beast didn't hurt the master, right?" ”

"She didn't hurt me, you hurt me." Li Zaixing swaggered to the court, and without waiting for Hu Shangrang, he sat down, cocked Erlang's legs, and dusted his trouser legs. Sister Julia helped El Maddie, who had not recovered from her leg injury, off her horse, sat down in the hall, held the scimitar, and stood behind Li Zaixing, with cold eyebrows and an unkind face.

Hu Shang saw that the situation was not right, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic. While giving the Jian Nu next to him a look, he served fragrant tea and said with a smile: "How do you say this, what do I have to entertain me, even if I say it, I will give my master a sinner." ”

Li Zaixing reached out and took out Al Maddie's slave contract from his arms, threw it on the case, and glanced at Hu Shang: "Your slave contract has hurt me a lot." If it weren't for my friends, I am afraid I would not have seen you today. Buying and selling human beings without permission is a crime...... Hehe, it's not small. ”

The corners of Hu Shang's eyes jumped, and he smiled a little unnaturally. He knew by himself that Al Maidi was not a serious slave, and this slave contract was also fake, strictly speaking, it was illegal. However, illegal things do not mean that no one will do it, many people are greedy for cheap, and they are willing to buy such slaves of unknown origin, especially the homeless Hu people, and no one will care about him for the affairs of a Hu slave.

Li Zaixing came to the door today, which surprised him a little. He wanted to have a seizure, but listening to Li Zaixing's words, he had friends in the official mansion, and this matter was a little difficult to handle.

"Maybe you don't know it yourself." Li Zaixing smiled slightly and pointed at the Julia sisters behind him: "You think they are here to protect me?" No, they're coming with me to ask you for an explanation. Al Maidi is a person from the Liquanfang Ancestral Hall, Cao Guo in the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Zhong Cao, you should have heard of it, right? ”

Hu Shang's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Al Maidi, and then at Sister Julia, who had cold eyebrows, fine beads of sweat slid down his forehead. Zhong Cao? He knows too well that the Zhongcao people are aggressive, and they may draw their swords against each other for the slightest fart. I was so unlucky, I picked up a private slave, and I actually picked up a brave and ruthless Zhongcao people?

"Master, I really don't know." Hu Shang fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed to Al Maidi again and again, and said with a sad face: "My mother-in-law, you have been here with me for a few months, but you have never mentioned that you are a person from the ancestral hall next to you." But if you say it, I don't dare to do this to you, I will send you back a long time ago, and I won't dare to accept you for a penny......"

Hu Shang kowtowed and cried again, as if he was wronged by his dead father, as if it was not Al Madi who had suffered in the past few months, but him. Al Maddie also ignored her, she has been tossed a lot in the past few months, and she will not give up if she doesn't let this profiteer take off her skin today. The Zhongcao people are good at fighting, but this is Chang'an, not the Western Regions, so even if Adar knows that she has suffered here, he can only rejoice that she is out of danger, but he can't have the idea of revenge. Li Zaixing is different, he is a native of the Tang Dynasty, and he has friends in the official, and governing this profiteer is just a matter of raising his hand.

Li Zaixing was also indifferent, he knew that things were not so simple, since this Hu businessman dared to do business here, of course he had to pay protection money and ask for the protection of a certain local snake. He said that he had friends in the official, but he might not be able to scare him. It won't be long before the snake is coming. This profiteer behaved so miserably, it was nothing more than a show. He is really afraid, he should take out the money at this moment and destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, instead of pretending to wipe his tears.

Sure enough, it was the kung fu of a cup of tea, and a few strong men with crooked heads and open hearts rushed over, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted loudly: "Who dares to come to the West Market to find trouble and hinder people from doing business." The strong man Pi Erding glanced around, his eyes stayed on the pretty Julia sister's face for a moment, and finally landed on Li Zaixing's face, frowning: "Where did you come from?" ”

"Just came from Pingkangfang." Li Zaixing patted the slave deed on the case slowly, "Yesterday I bought a female slave here, and it cost me eighteen times, but it turned out to be a private slave, and Lao Tzu was almost arrested by the government." Can't you come here today to seek justice? ”

"Pingkangfang? Zhang Wan's brother? ”

"Zhang Wan?" Li Zaixing laughed: "Do you know?" ”

"Brothers who mix together, of course they know." Pi Erding raised his eyebrows: "However, he is in Pingkangfang, and the well water in my west market does not interfere with the river water, even if you are his brother, you can't make trouble here." ”

"I'm not his brother." Li Zaixing interrupted Pi Erding: "I just snatched Pingkangfang from him yesterday." ”

Pi Erding gasped: "You snatched Pingkangfang from Zhang Wan's hands? ”

"Can't you?" Li Zaixing glanced at him: "I also had a drink with Xie Guanglong once, and I heard some stories about the Chang'an rangers. I want to know who is the wealthy family behind you. ”

When Pi Erding heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a smug face: "Wei Sanlang, have you heard of it?" ”

"Who?" Li Zaixing was stunned.

Seeing Li Zaixing's shocked appearance, Pi Erding became even more proud, and his eyebrows almost flew to the sky. He raised his thumb and crooked his mouth: "Wei Sanlang, Chengnan Wei Du, go to the Wei family in Tianshawu, have you heard of it?" ”

Li Zaixing took a lot of effort to not squirt the tea in his mouth. No wonder Wei Yingwu is so rich, it turns out that this kid actually dominates the feng shui treasure of Xishi. I'm going to have to knock him on this time.

"Wei Saburo." Li Zaixing nodded: "He actually connived at Hu Shang to buy and sell his beloved, and he is really bold." Are you going to go find Wei Saburo yourself, or will you let me beat him up and go to him again? ”

Pi Erding was stunned. He didn't expect that reporting Wei Yingwu's name failed to scare Li Zaixing, Li Zaixing actually wanted to talk to Wei Yingwu in person, and his heart suddenly became empty.

"You...... Meet Wei Saburo? ”

"Of course, as soon as I arrived in Chang'an, I had a fight with him outside the city; Last night, in Pingkangfang, Qu Yang's house celebrated the new branch jinshi, and drank together; I thought I wouldn't have to look at his stinky face today, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape, alas, it's not that enemies don't get together. ”

Before Li Zaixing's words were finished, Pi Erding's face turned white. As the person in charge of the West Market, he is also a figure under Wei Yingwu, so he naturally knows about Wei Yingwu's fight with people outside the city the day before yesterday. He never expected that he would see this fierce man who was even more ruthless than Wei Yingwu so soon, and killed Wei Yingwu's three entourages in one go.
