Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Queen's Mother

Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan entered Luoyang City just to see the nephew of Empress Jia of the Dynasty, who was a regular attendant of Lord Jia Mijia. The Surabaya caravan of Liu and Sun had a small friction with the officials and businessmen of Yizhou, who were in charge of the Jia family's relatives, not long ago, which was originally a very small matter. Unexpectedly, Jia's relatives took advantage of this incident to start a comprehensive ban on Surabaya.

All the Surabaya businesses and cargo stations in all counties and counties in the country were sealed, all caravans were blocked on the road, and then all the goods were confiscated. All the people of the Surabaya were locked up in prisons in various places, and if they resisted at all, they were exiled for 3,000 miles. Although these days, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan spend money like flowing water, and they are constantly working on the relationship up and down. However, he can only keep the names of his guys, and if he wants to completely end it, he has to go to Luoyang in person and pay heavy bribes to Jia's relatives in order to redeem the business of the Surabaya.

At that moment, Sun Xiaochuan asked for a relationship with the great Si Nong Shi Chong, who was good friends with Jia's relatives, and after promising a heavy gift, Lord Shi Chongshi took the lead. Entered Luoyang City to bribe Jia Mi, the leader of Jia's relatives, who was just a third-rank official in the court. Although he is not a great official like Taifu and Taiwei, he is a person in the palace who directly serves the emperor and empress. In addition, the situation in the DPRK and China is now dominated by Empress Jia, and he, a casual cavalry attendant, has faintly become an important position above Taifu and Taiwei.

After Jia Mi inquired that Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan could enter Luoyang City to meet them, the two of them prepared a gift of ten thousand gold. Thousands of miles towards Luoyang City, originally calculated that the day before yesterday could enter the city, but did not expect that when passing through Yongzhou, suddenly encountered thousands of bandits to rob.

Fortunately, Liu Xi had prepared in advance, in addition to the 200 guards carried by his 24 carts, there were 500 guards from each of the east, west, north and south. After the home team was attacked, the guards desperately resisted and released wolf smoke warnings. After the surrounding team guards saw it, they saved Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan's convoy.

Even if there were reinforcements around, it was thanks to the monks hidden in the convoy by Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan that the convoy was preserved. Because Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were taken to the local yamen for questioning, they were delayed for more than a day, so they were two days late when they came to Luoyang.

Now that he had just entered Luoyang City, he was reprimanded by the officials sent by Jia Mi as if he were a prisoner. Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan have been doing business for so many years, and they have seen all kinds of people, etc., and they don't care about it at the moment. After the two of them looked at each other, Sun Xiaochuan stood up, walked to the official's horse with a smile, and said with a hippie smile: "It is Sun Xiaochuan in Surabaya, and our convoy has just entered the city." Rest here and head to Lord Jia's house right away. There are many materials on the bus and some time has been delayed, so please forgive me. ”

When Sun Xiaochuan spoke, there were already officials who came to the official's horse. Needless to say, a lot of horseshoe gold was stuffed into the leather bag on the saddle, and the official had a smile on his face. After quietly touching the bulging skin, he said to Sun Xiaochuan with a smile: "Sun Dongjia doesn't have to care, it's just that Lord Jia was a little anxious to wait, so he sent me to greet him." Since the car is full of goods, it must be slow to walk. We adults understand this......"

Speaking of this, the official changed his words and said: "Then you can't lose the goods, you go slowly." Let's go back and tell you, so that Master Jia doesn't have to worry about Sun Dongjia anymore. After saying that, the official turned the horse's head and galloped down in the direction from which he came. Seeing whether the lively return or not understood that he was going back to collect gold in advance, he was worried that after he went back, many people would be stolen by others.

After the officials left, Sun Xiaochuan returned to Wu Mian and returned to the side. After smiling bitterly, he said: "I originally wanted to accompany a few old immortals to talk more, but you have seen it, the king of Hades has not seen it yet, and the little ghost has already come to urge." In this way, a few old immortals went to the inn we had chartered first. After dealing with the matter, Xiao Chuan and His Majesty and I will catch up with a few old immortals......"

"Don't be so troublesome, today the old fairy will give you a face, and I will accompany you two brothers to go to that Lord Jia's mansion," After smiling, he glanced at Wu Mian, who was bowing his head and eating breakfast. After a pause, he continued: "You two dolls are smart people, so you don't have to beat around the bush. All of you know who robbed you on the way, and know that you have monks to protect you, and they must have taken measures. The immortality of the two of you is related to us, and we can't watch the elixir given to you two go to waste. ”

The four of them wanted to follow, and Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were naturally desperate. As with the theory of return, the two owners already suspected that the bandits who kidnapped them on the road were disguised as soldiers from the Jia Mi faction. This Luoyang City and Longtan Tiger's Den have no intention, with the monks they hired with money, it is okay to deal with the soldiers who pretend to be bandits, and they may not be the opponents of the monks in Jia Mi's mansion.

At that moment, Sun Xiaochuan hurriedly vacated his and Liu Xi's carriage, and asked Wu Mian and Gui Fu to sit on it with two monsters. The two of them got into the back carriage and drove until they reached the house of Jia Mi, the free rider. Jia Mi relied on his identity as a relative and transferred a team of Imperial Forest Army to guard the gate of the mansion for him. What ordinary officials don't dare to think of, this Jia Mi has already done it.

After the leader of the Imperial Forest Army saw the carriage driving in the distance, he was just about to inform the officials in the palace, when an official dressed in a fancy costume came out of the gate of the palace, waved his hand at the leader of the Royal Forest Army, and said: "Your Excellency, don't be suspicious, these people are all local merchants who have come to visit the Scattered Cavalry Chang Servant. Master Jia sent me out to greet ......"

The person who spoke was none other than Lord Jia Mi's best friend in the court, and also the disciple of the great warcist Xi Yingzhen, the great Si Nong Shi Chong. After seeing the convoy from a distance, Shi Chong smiled slightly, and then whispered a few words to the little guy next to him, and sent the little guy in. Tell Lord Jia Mi that the two rich men of Surabaya have arrived, and the fast knives that have been sharpened can be slaughtered fat pigs.

However, what Shi Chong didn't imagine was that after the convoy stopped, it was Wu Mian and Gui You, who had a relationship with him, who walked down from the first carriage. After a few of them took the brocade box from here, it hasn't been seen since. Even the Grand Karcist Xi Yingzhen seemed to be missing, he didn't expect to meet them here now, and today he had to take the time to inquire about the whereabouts of the nominal master like these people.

Before they could greet Wu Mian or not, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan also walked down in the carriage behind. The two took the initiative to come over and salute Shi Chong, and when they returned the salute, Jia Mi, the free rider, had already brought someone out to greet them. Originally, he discussed with Shi Chong, and he was waiting in the middle hall for the owner of the Surabaya to come over to say hello. However, as soon as he heard that the official he sent over to urge people had received a whole bag of gold, the best among his relatives was also a little impatient, and a petty official who ran errands gave so much, and he must have given himself a hundredfold or a thousandfold benefit. Worried about what tricks Shi Chong was playing in secret, Jia Mi still decided to come out to greet him in person.

After a few words of greeting, Jia Mi let the two owners of the Surabaya and the other four 'shareholders' into the middle hall together. After a few polite words, Jia Mi got to the point directly: "This official knows the intentions of several of you wealthy owners, and in recent days, there has been some friction between your Surabaya and the locality. But the law of kings is the law of kings, and it can't be ...... because of you."

Before Jia Mi's words were finished, he saw that a chamberlain in the palace was useless, and he had already walked quickly in front of Jia Mi. This person is a close servant of his aunt Empress Jia, and he will never come to the mansion. At the same time, the chamberlain said: "My lord, the queen mother is about to come to the palace. Hurry up and get ready, and then you will be in ......"

Jia Mi was startled, hearing that her aunt had been frightened at the White Horse Temple last night. I also planned to go to the palace to visit my aunt after I blackmailed the entire Surabaya, how did her old man deign to come to her nephew's house. Still in such a hurry......

Just when Jia Mi ordered the people to prepare to welcome Niangniang, the sound of ritual music sounded outside the middle hall. Then the short and fat queen lady had already entered the middle hall surrounded by all the attendants: "Jia Mi, I heard that you and your aunt have found a few young and handsome people, and it just so happens that your aunt was frightened last night, and she came to you to suppress the shock......"

As she spoke, Empress Jia had already seen the white-haired young man standing in the middle hall. It's a small world......
