Chapter 1024: Shameless Kindness (42)
And this area will naturally be in his hands secretly, but the truth is not as simple as he imagined.
Not to mention that this cottage is not in the Central Plains, even if he really puts this cottage to the end, he has no way to guarantee whether other cottages will continue to appear in the future.
Because he also tried to send his own people to stay on the trade route disguised as bandits, and secretly inquire for news.
But in the end, what they brought back was only the information that Jin Qing unified the business road, and the other bandits were missing.
The emperor knew that not only did he send his subordinates to disguise themselves as bandits on this trade route, but the Western Regions should have made the same arrangement. Therefore, the information of this big boss should also be obtained by the royal family of the Western Regions.
And what they have to see now is who can act first
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the emperor still decided to cooperate with the big boss of the cottage, and let that person regulate the order of the trade road, so as not to let there be murder and overselling goods in this section of the trade road.
And this kind of thing naturally has to be handed over to your own henchmen.
When the emperor just handed over the task of cooperating with the cottage boss to Zeng Da, Zeng Da was really stunned for a while, he never thought that he would be able to have anything to do with that village again in his lifetime.
But as a subordinate, he couldn't directly refuse the emperor's request, so Zeng Da could only take the job head-on, and planned that no matter what the other party said, he would only pretend that the other party recognized the wrong person.
Fortunately, he had lived in the mountains for more than a year, and he knew how brainless these villagers were.
However, Zeng Da also had doubts in his heart, when he was on the mountain, he found that these brain-dead villagers were just watching the excitement in addition to working on weekdays.
No matter what happens on weekdays, I have to go back and ask the women in the village, how can such a person suddenly become so powerful?
But when he heard that the big boss was a woman with scars on her face, Zeng felt that Jin Qing should be like them back then, a villain who was picked up by the villagers on the mountain.
Although there was a lot of speculation about Jin Qing's identity in his heart, he was even a little disgusted.
But thinking that the emperor wanted to use this person's hand to re-standardize the order of commerce, Zeng Da gritted his teeth and endured it, ready to discuss the matter with Jin Qing with dignity.
When Zeng Da tidied up his clothes and came to negotiate with the cottage boss on behalf of the imperial court.
Jin Qing was sitting on the stepping bed in the room, concentrating on fiddling with a folding fan.
The bones of this folding fan are made of sixteen crystal-clear white pieces of mutton fat jade, which are warm and greasy to hold in the hand, and even a little warm, and they are made of a whole rectangular piece of jade.
This piece of jade was turned out of the cellar of a cottage by the village chief when Jin Qing and the village chief went out to "do business" together.
Because this piece of jade looks good and has a lot of weight, and there are some messy seeds and patterns engraved on it, the village chief doesn't know what this thing is used for, so he carefully collects it.
Until one day, they met a convoy of merchants at the bottom of the mountain, and the village chief looked at the merchants holding folding fans in their hands and fanning them very pleasantly, and suddenly remembered that large piece of jade.
Whatever he wanted, the village chief simply begged the merchant for a piece of sturdy oiled paper, and asked the merchant to help him cut it into a fan.
After returning home, he cut the large piece of jade into pieces of fan bones, and with his broken skills, he pasted a tattered folding fan for Jin Qing, and also thoughtfully matched a painting on the fan surface for Jin Qing.
Since he was not from a professional background, the fan bone was ground by the village chief to different lengths and thicknesses, and it looked like a defective product that pierced the eyes.
But Jin Qing has never had any special pursuit of art, and after getting the folding fan given by the village chief, he only felt that this thing should be quite valuable, so he kept it by his side.
707 was speechless about the fan bone of this folding fan: it really didn't expect that this thing, which had been lost for thousands of years, would appear in this broken place and be **** harmed like this.
Isn't this fan bone valuable, and this thing is even more valuable when it doesn't become a fan bone!
Even 707, who has become numb to the good things in the world, has to admit that it is really a tyrannical thing!
This jade is considered a spiritual treasure between heaven and earth, and it can increase the luck of those who possess it, and it is impossible for something like this to appear in different worlds at the same time.
It must have been a tasker who brought this thing into this world and lost it again.
But even if that tasker came back to look for it, he would never have imagined that that thing would turn into an ugly fan!
Jin Qing didn't know 707's feelings, she was grabbing a fan and looking out the window in a daze, always feeling that a head should pop up at any time.
After careful calculation, even the time she spent in the small courtyard, it has been nearly four months since she went down the mountain, and she always feels that something is missing from her side.
Jin Qing gently tapped the table with the folding fan in his hand: It seems to be a little quiet, has the old man already slept?
When Zeng Da entered the house, he happened to see Jin Qing's side face looking out of the window.
Even before he came, Zeng Da was ready to meet someone he had met before.
But after seeing Jin Qing in the room, Zeng Da was still taken aback: Why is it her, isn't she already dead.
After all, they have been together for more than a year, even though Zeng Da doesn't like Mo Wanxia, and can even be said to dislike Mo Wanxia, but after all, they are people who serve their family of three day and night, and Zeng Da remembers Mo Wanxia's figure and back very clearly.
Even if Zeng Da kept telling himself that he was doing the right thing over the years, he just didn't want to be hindered by a rural village girl, so he would get rid of Mo Wanxia first.
Moreover, the smooth sailing of these years has proved that his behavior back then was correct.
But every time in the middle of the night, Mo Wanxia, who was covered in blood, would always appear in his dreams, looking at him sadly with bloody eyes and crying.
For a time, dreams and reality were intertwined.
Jin Qing, who was in Zeng Da's eyes, had already gotten out of bed, and slowly walked up to him and asked him with bloody eyes: "Zeng Lang, how can you treat me like this." ”
Zeng Da was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he stepped back: "I didn't, I didn't do anything." ”
Then he slipped and stumbled backwards.
If it weren't for the people behind him who helped him quickly, Zeng Da almost fell to the ground.
The subordinate helped Zeng Da steady, and asked Zeng Da respectfully, "My lord, are you okay?" ”
At this time, Zeng Da came back to his senses and knew that what had just happened was his hallucination, so he shook his head lightly at his subordinates: "The official is fine, you can go down." ”
Hearing Zeng Da's words, the subordinate was obedient, confessed his guilt to Zeng Da, and left with the others.
The rest of the story is not something he can hear.
