Chapter 204: Youth

Because he said it extremely pitifully, Shi Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

But Yu Wenyan and Chen Ping became serious.

After catching those Hu people, Yu Wenyan looked for the people from Honglu Temple, and after they identified, most of these Hu people were from the Great Xia Kingdom in the west.

Due to territorial disputes, the dynasty fought fiercely with the Great Xia Kingdom for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until thirty years ago that the two countries suspended the war and began commercial exchanges.

Now this group of people is quietly touching the capital, what do they want to do?

And what is that holy order?

All of this made Yu Wenyan vigilant.

"Are there any other people besides the Hu people we have arrested?" Yu Wenyan asked the gray-robed monk who called himself the Flying Mouse coldly.

"That's all I brought into Beijing! I don't know about the rest. The Flying Mouse shook his head, "My lord! What I said is true, and I don't lie to you! ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenyan hurriedly passed on: "Pass the order, starting from today, focus on investigating those Hu businessmen in the capital!" Those who do not have a pass from the Yamen will be detained! ”

"I'm afraid it's not good!" Chen Ping listened to it and said worriedly, "Managing these Hu merchants is the business of Sizhao Yamen, if we rush to interfere, I am afraid that we will offend people." ”

"Offending someone? Are we still afraid of offending people? Yu Wenyan sneered when he heard this, "They are not good at acting according to the yamen, and they also want our Zhenfu Division to help wipe their buttocks, I didn't go to them for trouble, even if they burned high incense." ”

Although Shi Jinxiu didn't understand this, she also knew that the capital might not be as peaceful as before.

Sure enough, since then, there have been many more officers and soldiers patrolling the market, and the checks when entering and leaving the capital have become stricter.

From time to time, Hu Shang was arrested from his house and taken to Jingzhao Mansion.

There was such a big mistake in the defense of the capital, Emperor Qingde was very angry, and he directly put the chief of the dereliction of duty Sizhao Yamen and the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division directly into the prison, and as for the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, he was left guilty of meritorious service.

Those Hu merchants who had formal documents were happy, they still bought and sold freely as in the past, and when they met customers who came to the door, they had to brag about their shops, but those who did not have documents were trapped in the capital, hiding in Tibet all day long, and they could not live in fear.

But these do not have much impact on the ordinary people in the capital, and everyone should still eat and drink as in the past.

In order to make it easier for Du Juan to come back to do things after marriage, Shi Jinxiu took a fancy to a nearby house and planned to buy it for Du Juan and Dark Cloud as a wedding room.

Just as he was about to leave after handing over everything to the Tongya people, he saw a few errand masters escorting a young man from the Hu people who was about fifteen or sixteen years old out of the opposite house.

The tooth man couldn't help but say contemptuously when he saw it: "It can be regarded as inviting these people away!" I don't know when it started, there are more and more Hu people in the capital, and I don't know what to say all day long. ”

"Help! I'm not a bad person! Shi Jinxiu could hear that the young man was speaking stiff Chinese.

She took a look at the situation, but felt that the bearded young man was a little familiar.

Where have you seen it?

But she shook her head again, thinking it was unlikely.

Just as she was about to leave with the cuckoo, she suddenly remembered that face!

It's in a dream! In the dream of the Heikado!

The young man of the Hu people and the money shopkeeper of Xixiangtang stood together and proudly launched the new incense of Xixiangtang.

Unlike in the dream, as early as last year, the Zhenfu Division arrested the money shopkeeper, and later dug out that he had done a lot of immoral things, and the people of the Li family did not catch him for the so-called "self-proof of innocence", but let him be sentenced to exile.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of money shopkeeper, this Hu man failed to enter Xixiangtang?

"Where are all these people going?" Shi Jinxiu asked casually.

The tooth man smiled and said: "First of all, they will be sent to Jingzhao Mansion, if no one fills up the relevant documents for them within seven days, they will be dragged to the human tooth market to be sold, and if they can't be sold, it is said that they will be dragged to hard labor." ”

"Is paperwork difficult?" Shi Jinxiu felt very strange.

"It's not very difficult." The tooth man smashed it and said, "It's just that according to the rules set by the yamen, you can bring more goods and more people." And the person who writes on a document can't act alone, that is, the capital has been loosened in recent years, otherwise how could these Hu businessmen run all over the capital. ”

"What a pity!" The tooth man suddenly sighed, "Most of them are going to be sent to hard labor." ”

Shi Jinxiu was very puzzled when he heard this: "Didn't you just say that these people will still go to the Tooth Market to sell?" ”

"That said, how many people want to buy a Hu man to work at home?" Presumably just made a deal, the tooth man patiently explained to Shi Jinxiu, "These people are tall and strong, and what they say is incomprehensible, can they buy them back and use them as wooden stakes?" Therefore, the Hu people in the human tooth market have not sold very well. ”

Is that the case?

Shi Jinxiu nodded as if she understood or not.

But when she thought of the bearded boy, she couldn't be calm.

If in her dream, it was really that Hu Ren boy who helped Xixiangtang develop a new incense, then she couldn't let go of such a talent!

"Can you help me buy that bearded boy just now?" Shi Jinxiu took out a silver ticket of twenty taels and looked at the tooth man with a serious face, "This is a part of the remuneration for you, if you can get someone for me, I will give you another hundred taels!" ”

The tooth man couldn't believe his ears.

In their line of work, they are all pumping.

For example, the house he just sold, helping the owner run back and forth, and the money he earned was only a dozen taels of silver.

Now that there is suddenly such a deal on his head, even if it doesn't work, he has to find a way to do it!

"Yes! OK! The tooth man took the silver ticket in Shi Jinxiu's hand with a smile, "Seven days later, I will definitely send people to Madame's mansion!" ”

After Shi Jinxiu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and took the cuckoo back to the house.

But I didn't expect that three days later, the tooth man would send the Hu man to the door.

"This kid said that he snuck into the city with someone else's caravan, and there were no acquaintances in the city, so no one would make up the paperwork for him." The tooth man smiled and said to Shi Jinxiu, "So I brought the people out in advance." ”

Shi Jinxiu looked the Hu man up and down.

In fact, if it weren't for the yellowish hair, his facial features would still look like a Han man.

"Do you know how to refine incense?" Shi Jinxiu didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point.

The Hu boy looked up in surprise and said in a not very smooth Chinese language: "I will!" ”
