Qin Guang saw many merchants in the main hall, and knew that the other thieves Cao Weiji's colleagues had already completed the order of the thief Cao Weiji, and he was obviously late, so he didn't even say hello to Zheng Lai at the moment, and hurriedly ran to the back hall to resume his life.

After a while, Zheng Lai found that Qin Guang behind him was gone, shook his head helplessly, and quickly integrated into the merchants in the main hall, chatting hotly. Merchants have a low status, as long as they are not peers, they will help each other in private, especially the merchants who travel all over the world, no one will inevitably encounter difficulties, multiple friends and many ways, and it will not be wrong to be kind to others.

Just as all the merchants were talking to each other, and even some merchants began to talk about business with each other, the thief Cao Weiji slowly walked out of the back hall, and some merchants who knew him hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. The other merchants didn't have eyes, and the merchants in the main hall bowed down one after another, and they all bowed down.

Wei Ji waved his hand, signaling that the merchants did not need to be polite, and said loudly: "This official is looking for you today to discuss this customs clearance matter with you and others. Recently, it was said that the Huns held a meeting in the clouds to gather in the forest, because it was not very calm outside the pass. Lord Taishou imposed a border ban, but also for the sake of waiting, not to make some money, but to throw his life in the hands of the Huns. ”

When the merchants heard this, they did not show a look of surprise, obviously they had already received the news of the Huns. When they received the news, they were not only not afraid, but a little excited. In order to encourage the merchants of the Han Dynasty to sell their goods to the steppe, the great nobles of the Xiongnu united to set some rules, all the Xiongnu were not allowed to privately plunder the caravans entering Henan, otherwise they would gather and annihilate them, and even their tribes would be destroyed. It can be said that as long as they do not go out of the Great Wall, the merchants of the Han Dynasty can basically guarantee safety in Shuofang, Xihe, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong, which are effectively controlled by the Xiongnu nobles. Therefore, the Xiongnu nobles gathered in the clouds and forests, which was an opportunity to make a lot of money for these merchants.

Wei Ji saw that the merchants were silent, but his eyes were full of excitement and eagerness, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Since you want to die yourself, I have no choice but to give you a ride, and if you can do some good things for the people of the Han Dynasty before you die, it can be regarded as your accumulation of virtue for the next life." ”

Of course, he couldn't say this, but he didn't want to say anything, so he immediately put on a businesslike appearance and said loudly: "Since you insist on going, this official doesn't intend to be a villain in vain, just let you out of the customs." However, Lord Taishou instructed that in order to prevent you from bringing weapons and armor out of the fortress and into the hands of the Huns, all goods, vehicles and livestock leaving the customs should be sent to Yanmen Fortress before noon, and the soldiers should take care of and verify them. After the customs clearance in the early morning, the goods can be returned to the East Gate Diplomatically. ”

Before Wei Ji's words fell, the main hall was like boiling water, and it instantly became noisy. The merchants' faces were full of doubts and precautions, obviously worried that Taishou would use the excuse to confiscate all his goods, and it would be really a loss of money.

Bang! Seeing this, Wei Ji's face became more and more gloomy, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed the table next to him in half, making a loud noise.

The merchants immediately fell silent, and the entire main hall fell silent.

"Lord Taishou enforces the law strictly, regardless of his status, and acts in accordance with the law. It has always been strict with himself, how could he do that dirty act?! Wei Ji scolded in a deep voice, with a look of disdain written on his face, "If this is to rob you and other goods, this official can take down all of your goods at this moment, put them in prison, and then take people to inns and inns to confiscate your wealth, wouldn't it be more convenient?" ”

The merchants' faces couldn't help but change drastically, and they couldn't help but gasp. However, a few shrewd old merchants heard Wei Ji's original intention, thought for a moment, and felt that this was indeed the truth, but they were quite excited in their hearts. One of the veteran merchants took a few steps forward, bowed down and said: "My lord is angry, I don't know how to lift, the villain Jiaoxi is in Qingyang, and I am willing to transport all the goods to the city, and when the soldiers verify it, I will give an additional 100,000 drinks and money to comfort the border soldiers." ”

When the rest of the merchants heard this, their eyes lit up, and sure enough, ginger was old and spicy. Spend 100,000 yuan, just buy a peace of mind, at least block Wei Ji's words, lest he open his mouth in the future. As long as he takes this money, I'm afraid it will not be easy to swallow all the goods, otherwise it will be too ugly.

When Wei Ji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh at the prophetic foresight of Lord Taishou, he had already expected this section and explained it. He showed a greedy appearance on the surface, put the knife into the sheath, and nodded pretending to be satisfied: "Well, if this official does not accept the filial piety of the border army and soldiers, he will not rest assured." When you go back today, hand over the money as soon as possible, and you can get the coupon issued by Taishou himself. Before noon, all the goods were handed over to the scribe of the West Gate of Yanmen. Customs clearance can only be made in the early morning, and the goods returned will be accepted outside the east gate. ”

After saying that, he didn't consider the reaction of the merchants at all, and returned to the back hall on his own. Lord Taishou attaches great importance to today's affairs, and deliberately came here in civilian clothes to sit down, and at this time he had lunch in the back hall, waiting for him to return to his life.

Seeing Wei Ji leaving, the merchants hesitated for a moment and exchanged words with each other in a low voice. Soon, with the departure of several big merchants, they gritted their teeth and made up their minds, hurried back to their place of residence, and prepared the money.

That night, a large number of convoys slowly drove out of Shanwu City, loaded with all kinds of goods towards Yanmen Stop. In the Taishou Mansion, Zhidu, who received the report from the city gatekeeper, had a sneer on his face, and said to the green-shirted young man beside him: "All the big merchants have gone out of the city, and the Hun spies in the caravans have all been cleaned up, and the official has done everything he should do, I hope that Lord Gongsun will not disappoint His Majesty and the prince." ”

When Gongsun He heard this, he smiled confidently and said: "Lord Taishou doesn't need to worry, Yu Linwei under the command of Xia Guan has been waiting in Saicheng for a long time, and the matters have been assigned. The relevant matters have been rehearsed many times, and they will not be aware of it, and there will be no poisons and epidemics flowing into the territory of Dahan......"

Zhidu nodded, looking at the northwest clouds, his face full of cruelty. In this small study, the first large-scale biochemical war in human history was opened, and as the person in charge, Zhi Du was even more notorious in the history books of later generations, and he was burdened with a lot of criticism. And Liu Che, the initiator, was ignored by historians intentionally or unintentionally, thus escaping the judgment of history.

In the early morning of the next day, a well-guarded camp in Yanmen was full of goods, and new goods were being transported in a steady stream at the camp gate. Yu Biao kept patrolling the camp, his face full of seriousness, and the cool breeze couldn't dry the beads of sweat from his sideburns.

"Company commander, those dozen or so truckloads of inferior sugar have been disposed of!" A Yu Linwei dressed in a dark combat uniform walked over and reported loudly.

Yu Biao nodded, and then ordered: "Take out some first, find a few animals to try, to have an effect, but not immediately, the Hun nobles will definitely find someone to try before eating, the amount of poison will be found immediately, and if the amount is less, it will not have any effect." ”

Yu Linwei hurriedly agreed, and continued to ask: "What about the carload of sugar with the best color?" ”

Yu Biao thought for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "Transported to the military doctor's tent, handed over to them for disposal, and sent additional people to take care of it, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Before the words fell, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly called a Yulin general behind him, and whispered in his ear for a long time. After receiving the order, General Yulin's face was solemn, and he solemnly accepted the token handed over by the standard, and then went as promised to personally supervise the relevant matters.

In the well-guarded military doctor's tent, Chun Yugong, who was wearing a thick silk cloth mask on his mouth, put on gloves and carefully opened a portable medicine box, which contained only a small porcelain bottle with a thin mouth, and was stuffed with silk silk. Chun Yugong took out the porcelain bottle, took a deep breath, held his breath, unscrewed the screwed cap, and poured the liquid in the bottle into more than a dozen sugar jars on the table. Then he quickly plugged the mouth of the bottle and the mouth of the can, and then ran to the door of the tent, took off his gloves, mask and coat, and threw them in the tent. At this time, his face was flushed, and he quickly ran outside the tent and exhaled deeply.

When his breath was even, the guards at the tent door hurriedly handed him a new coat and mask. Obviously, this has happened many times, and there is no need to remind everyone to do their job without the slightest panic.

Chun Yugong dressed neatly, put on new gloves and walked into the tent again, and put all the discarded and used porcelain bottles into a large box in the tent. At this point, he seemed much more relaxed, because he knew that the liquid in the bottle, as long as it did not come into contact with his body fluids, would not be infected with measles and other diseases. The key is to not pass it on to the mouth and nose when pouring it, as for those old clothes, if they are contaminated, they are not suitable for reuse, they must be collected and burned.

Uneasily, he stuffed the cork on the sugar jar tightly, confirmed it several times, and then wrapped the sugar jars one by one with a thick cloth bag, tied the mouth of the bag, and carried the jars out of the tent and handed them to the long-awaited Yulin general.

General Yu Lin's face was serious, and he counted the number carefully, and then instructed Yu Lin Wei behind him to carefully load the sugar jar back into the car and transport it to another place to take care of it carefully.

At this time, Yu Biaozheng, the commander of Yulin Company, commanded his soldiers to continuously inject some yellow-green juice into several carts of glazed pottery, and all the pottery with large capacity was filled with half a jar of juice and plugged with a soft cloth; The smaller ones are washed in a bucket full of juice, dried and then put back on the car.

In the livestock pen in the camp, a large number of large numbers of livestock collectively staged the spring/palace drama. Some of these animals had abscesses and herpes on their faces, but they did not detract from their own surnames. Even a sick and dying animal is surrounded by several heads of its kind, licking its naked/body, even if it is already a mess of rotten flesh.

For a whole day, the camp was full of people and horses. There was not even a curfew all night, but the lights were on and they were kept all night. The Yulin soldiers in the camp, like Zhidu in Shanwu City, spent this sleepless night in the busyness of an unforgettable night.
