The family that Zhang Mai was eyeing was called Ibn al-Narshahi, who was not only the richest man in the city, but also a wealthy man in the entire Qarakhanid dynasty.

The environment of Chin Er Si itself cannot give birth to the rich. However, this place is poor, the poor will change, and the change will be passable, coupled with the proximity to the border, some of the military work of Talas overflowed to the lower bars, so it fed many people who do business and make a living, and its folk customs and social atmosphere are conducive to cultivating business-minded people, Ibn al-Shahi came out of the lower bars, started with a camel, went to the city of Kulan, and slowly did the business to Talas, Barasagun, and finally settled in the Central Asian commercial town of Shule, relying on the accumulation of wealth, donating military funds to become a Dikhkan.

Although he still has a house in his jaw, the whole family has actually settled in Shule, this time he took his family back to his hometown to visit relatives, but he unexpectedly bumped into the Tang army entering the city, which can be said to be really unlucky.

On this day, he was napping, and was suddenly woken up by his younger son, saying that a group of people of unknown origin had entered the jaw and thoughts, and at first he scolded the younger son for making a fuss, and then heard that the gang had already taken control of the whole city's access roads, and some people rushed into the Laice Mansion. At first, the youngest son, Abul, reported that the gang claimed to be Bogra Khan's people, and Nairshahi breathed a sigh of relief, and Abul said that according to his analysis, it was not very similar, but he was afraid that it was a fake.

The Tang Army's actions were not fast, and when people like Nairshahi reacted, the streets were already under martial law, and soldiers also came to stand guard at the front and back of Nairshahi's house, and Nershahi panicked, while sending people to block the gate, back door, and side door with boulders, while hiding his wife and daughter in the cellar, the women were crying and crying, and several sons and sons-in-law were also at a loss, but until this time, old Nairshahi still couldn't figure it out-

"Who is it? Is it really Bogra Khan's men, or Saman's army? ”

"I'm afraid it's neither." A'a'bul ibn al-Shahi, the youngest son who was the first in the family to notice this, said: "Looking at their actions, it is not like a fire search." ”

"Is that the Mujahideen of Kuba?"

"Not like that."

"Who is that? Barbarians from the mountains and forests? Or bandits in the desert? ”

"It's not like it." Abul ibn al-Na'shahi said: "Their discipline seems to be stricter than that of the guards of Arslan Khan." ”

This made old Nell Shahi even more confused.

Soon Zhang Mai's invitation arrived, and the old Nershahi was even more panicked when he saw it, and if he wanted to go, his youngest son said: "Dad, people have blocked the front and back doors, where can we hide?" When you don't go, people still have to come to invite, and if you don't move, maybe you will use a sword, and you won't have a good face at that time. If it's a good thing, don't be afraid, if it's a bad thing, you can't hide it. ”

Old Nershahi was helpless and said, "Then which of you will go with me." Several sons and sons-in-law all had embarrassed faces, only the younger son nodded, and old Nershahi was furious: "I have raised you for so long, none of them are useful!" I had to go to the banquet accompanied by my youngest son.

This time, Zhang Mai invited guests in order to "borrow money" from these wealthy businessmen, which was called borrowing, but it was actually similar to robbery, and of course he had to have a vicious face to do this kind of rough work.

Zhang Mai is a person who lives in a metropolis, and compared with the people in Central Asia who have been blown by wind and sand on the grassland and desert all the year round, his face is really a little too white, there is no fierce appearance on his face, he is a civilized person from head to toe, and this face has not completely changed in the past few months after coming to this era. He wanted to come forward by himself, and he was afraid that he couldn't let these businessmen meet, so after thinking about it, he picked out Liu Heihu, who was the most fierce among his subordinates.

Liu Heihu is a mixed race of Han and Tiele people, his eyebrows are like paint and his face is like ink, his lips are so short that he can't cover his teeth, he is tall and fat, full of horizontal meat, like a prehistoric monster, Zhang Mai was startled when he saw him for the first time, but this time he deliberately chose him to replace his "hospitality" guests.

As a result, as soon as the old Nell Shaxi saw him, his legs were so frightened that his legs became weak, and Liu Heihu said with a big grin: "This time we are holding a banquet for the city lord of Dengshang, but suddenly there is an urgent military affair coming, so I Liu Heihu will entertain you on behalf of the city lord. ”

These words were taught by Zhang Mai, but when they came out of his mouth, they were full of evil sounds, and the old Nell Shahi and others said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Aboul ibn al-Shahi thought to himself: "Military affairs? Listening to these words, you know that they are not ordinary robbers. Lights on the city? What's that? I've never heard of it before. ”

There were twenty "guests" from six large families, all of whom shrank back, and only Abul mustered up the courage to come up to toast Liu Heihu, and asked cautiously: "This general, after your army entered the city, we still don't know the banner of your army." ”

"Flags? We are the generals of the City of Lights. ”

Abule laughed and said: "Jaw Ersi is a country place, please forgive the villain for being lonely and unheard, but I don't know where the city of lights is?" ”

Liu Heihu Leopard's eyes widened: "What are you talking about!" Don't even know that the lights go up to the city? With a heavy thump of his hand, the wine and food on the table jumped up, and the soup splashed to the ground: "The city on the lamp is the city on the lamp!" Every year Arslan and Bogra Khan come to pay tribute, you don't know! ”

These words were like thunder, frightening all the businessmen, and there was even a businessman's entourage, who was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, Liu Heihu scolded: "No bird guts!" ”

Zhang Mai secretly snickered behind the scenes: "The person who chose the main banquet this time is the right person!" "On the other hand, he sent a military doctor out to take care of the affairs of the merchant's entourage.

What kind of good banquet can a Hongmen banquet hosted by a fan-style old man be a good banquet? Before eating two glasses of wine, he handed out a blank piece of paper, one by one, and said: "This time, our army has arrived at the chin, and the food and salary are not enough, so our city lord has set up this banquet and wants to borrow some food and salary from you." Let's see how much you can lend, just write it. Don't worry, we won't borrow your money in vain, and the city lord will write you an IOU when you turn around, and the city lord said, we will borrow money from the city, borrow and repay, and there is interest. ”

After the white paper was sent down, the six businessmen were all stunned by each other, and Liu Heihu shouted: "What are you stunned, write!" If you can't write, you can speak up, and we have someone here to help. ”

The merchants hurriedly buried their heads in writing, and the old Nell Shahi pulled his youngest son and asked in a low voice, "How much do you think it is good to write?" ”

Aboul whispered, "Write down all the possessions we can take with us in the jaw." ”

Old Nershahi groaned slightly, nodded secretly, thinking to himself that these people are doing this, although they are borrowing, they are like robbing, since they have besieged the city and trapped the house, if they want to come hard, what else can they keep? In this case, instead of being useless and stingy, it is better to simply send it all and end up with a personal favor, so I wrote a full piece of paper.

After writing the six pieces of paper and sending them to the background, these businessmen wrote in Arabic, Zhang Mai did not understand Arabic, but the Arabic numerals were still understood, and the text was to consult Liu An, Zhang Mai had inquired about their basic situation before the six families went to the banquet, and knew that Nairshahi was the richest man in the city, and the strength of assets was beyond the reach of the other six. ”

In addition to a number of gold, silver, cattle and horses, there were 1,500 sacks of wheat. It turns out that in the past few decades, there have been frequent military and political changes in Central Asia, Talas will belong to the Samani for a while, and will be seized by the Hui people for a while, Shule was still under the rule of Oguchark Khan yesterday, and today it is in the hands of Satuk, and the Arslan and Bogra Khan of the Qarakhanid Dynasty are also competing with each other openly and secretly, although the current major forces have temporarily entered the balance of power, but who knows what will happen tomorrow? In addition to the base camp of Shule, there are food and property in several places as a way back, in case of war, there is one more place to hide, which is the meaning of "three holes of cunning rabbits". Jaw Ersi is his hometown and one of the caves.

However, there was a man named Hamuz who donated the least, only pledged a camel and 100 catties of wheat, and the text was twisted and crooked.

After Liu Heihu got it, he asked according to what Zhang Mai had taught him before: "Who is this thing?" ”

Hamuz trembled and replied, "It's a villain." ”

Liu Heihu crumpled the piece of paper into a ball, threw it at him, and said angrily: "Yours! You send Hanako! Come on, send him back! Send someone to keep an eye on his house! This guy is not a good thing! He blasted out the frightened Hamuz on the spot.

The other four businessmen secretly pinched a cold sweat, and they all thought, "It's good that we're not so stingy." ”

At this time, Liu An walked out and scolded Liu Heihu and said: "The city lord has a banquet, how can you be so rude Heihu!" But he returned the four "donation sheets" to the four merchants, and said: "I thank you on behalf of the city lord for your hospitality, but our city lord can't borrow this small amount." ”

Finally, he respectfully presented an IOU signed by Zhang Mai to the old Nershahi, and said: "The city lord asked me to thank the old merchant for his kindness, this is an IOU, the interest is one and a half percent, and one hundred and fifty bags of wheat will be returned, and the rest of the gold, silver, cattle and horses will also be returned to one percent, but this loan is still calculated in full." In the future, no matter where it is, as long as it is someone from the Nershahi family, we will protect it in the city of Dengshang. ”

Old Nershahi was relieved to hear this, bowed down and thanked him, but he didn't take this IOU seriously in his heart, although he lost a lot of property this time, but also in exchange for peace, but the other four families were terrified, I don't know what to do, after the banquet was dispersed, they all came to ask Old Nershahi: "Old merchant, how much did you 'lend' to them?" Old Nershahi said, "I have 'lent' all the property in Jaws to them. ”

Several merchants were surprised: "All borrowed? Do you really think that this group of people of unknown origin will return it to you? ”

Old Nershahi smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if it's not back yet. But our family is safe for the time being, what about you? Hehe, haven't you understood the fate of Hamuz? Also, do you really think that if you don't borrow, you can keep your property? ”

The last sentence made all the merchants look at each other, and while admiring the old Nershahi, they also secretly regretted it, and they all thought: "We have to quickly think of a way, and ask the lord of the city to accept our property." ”

After they had gone, the elder Nershahi said to his youngest son, "What do you think these people are coming from?" ”

"I can't tell where it came from for the time being." Abula said: "But I think they have a lot of background, and looking at their words and deeds today, they are definitely not ordinary bandits, and even the generals under the command of Bogra Khan and Arslan may not have such skills." ”

Their family is a person who has been to big places such as Barasagon and Shule, has seen the world, and even made friends with Hui magnates, and their vision is not comparable to that of the rich man of Tubaozi.

Old Nershahi nodded slightly: "Yes, although I don't know how big the power behind these people is, but with such a skill, it is very possible to achieve a career in the future." The money I lent out today may be recouped in the future. ”

Abula said, "Daddy, I want to go back and ask to see the city lord." ”

Old Nershahi thought for a moment and said, "Wait, although it is not a big place, but this place is very close to Talas, and if it is suddenly captured, Sekan will definitely react, and it will be not too late to decide where to go." ”
