"My lord, it's 300,000 taels of silver. The shopkeeper of Jutong Bank repeated it again.

Chang Xian Ling heard the affirmative reply again, and then he was sure that these things were really so valuable, and carefully picked up a string of orange-yellow beads, and asked in disbelief: "Just this bag of small things, can it be worth 300,000 taels of silver?"

No wonder Chang County Ling was so surprised, you must know that the annual tax of the Han Dynasty is only about 200 million taels of silver, and the fifty-nine cities of the Han Dynasty, if it is evenly distributed, the annual tax of a city is only three million taels.

Just this burden can be as big as 300,000 taels, Chang Xian Ling secretly smacked his tongue, and suddenly felt that the things in his hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties.

However, things like treasures and antiques are not hard goods, and when you say it's valuable, it's valuable, and if it's a war, no one cares about these things, and maybe you can exchange them for two steamed buns.

It's not that Chang County Ling is ignorant, thinking that he was born in Hanshi, how can he recognize these things, he just thinks that it is very beautiful.

When Chang Xian Ling came back to his senses from the value of this package of things, he began to realize that this was probably a big case, and if this matter was handled well, he would definitely be able to add another heavy sum to his credit book.

"Go on, where did you get all this stolen goods. Chang Zidu County Commander reined in his mind and said precariously.

"Alas, if you go back to the county commander, these things are...... As soon as Xiaomin noticed that something was wrong, he thought about sending it to the county government immediately. The shopkeeper told him what happened in Jutong Bank before, and said it again.

"You have done a good job, and if this matter is verified to be true, you should be credited. The county commander said and turned to the master and said, "Summoning the county order, mobilize manpower, and be sure to find the person in red clothes in the shortest possible time." โ€

It's just a matter of arresting one person, so naturally there is no need to alarm the county lieutenant of Fengyu County, mobilize the army, and it is enough to have the officers and soldiers of the county government.

Half a month has passed since the last time I was transported to the inn, and the injuries from being beaten by the West Soldiers should be better.

"Yes. The master nodded and walked out. The shopkeeper was just about to say goodbye and leave, but he heard the county magistrate say, "Don't leave first, you still have to identify that person." โ€

Therefore, the shopkeeper of Jutong Money Village had to continue to wait.

......

"These already made us ordinary people curious, and what was even more curious was that there were several corpses behind them. โ€

"Corpse? oh, what kind of corpse?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked curiously, could it be that the official of the county government was killed by the Xi Shui soldiers.

"This is what we later learned was the corpse of the people who brought it to the inn. Brother Zhang replied.

The corpses of those people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little puzzled in his heart, these people were not killed by the Xitui soldiers, nor were they killed by the county government, he was sure, and they had already been buried that night, why were they carried into the county seat again.

With doubts in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued: "Brother Zhang, you continue. โ€

"Alas, it was later said that it was an official in the county government who accidentally revealed the news, and it turned out that those western soldiers were becoming more and more rampant. Brother Zhang said with a long sigh.

"How is it unscrupulous?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly.

According to the news from the yamen, this time it was the Xi Tui soldiers who used the excuse of investigating the woman's disappearance, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and ruthlessly killed eight people who were transported to the inn.

The county commander and the officers and soldiers were one step too late, and they were beaten badly if they couldn't stop it. โ€

Hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bit off the grass roots in his mouth, and his eyes revealed a trace of coldness.

If you want to say that other His Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince may not know, but he knows very well about the matter of this transport to the inn, and this is not the case at all.

secretly said in his heart that if he hadn't met him, this county order would have been able to deceive the upper and lower levels, and expose this matter like this, which is really a good means.

"The few people who were killed by the Xitui soldiers were kindly carried back by the county commander and put them in a coffin and buried, which can be regarded as being buried in the ground. Our county magistrate is really a good official. Brother Zhang didn't notice His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes, and continued to sigh.

"Then these western soldiers are really bold and unscrupulous. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said sarcastically.

"Naturally, brother, if you can say this, you must have heard of it. Brother Zhang suddenly looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't expect that his casual words would even attract the attention of the craftsman in front of him, to say that he really didn't know much about the Xizhui Yuankong.

asked silently: "Oh, that I am the guard who ran with the caravan, I have seen some of these, I don't know if it is the same as Brother Zhang, you know." โ€

"Sure enough, I see that you have a knife behind your waist, and I think you are either a man of man, or a guard. Brother Zhang, the craftsman, said with a fist.

Then he continued the previous words and said: "The soldiers of this Xitui have always been rampant and domineering, and this is also what the Xitui lord is used to, and the people living in the Xitui are really bitter." โ€

"What's the pain, let's whisper something wrong here, the younger brother heard that the officials and people of Xitui do not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and their power is extremely great, except for the war with the Xihai Dragon Palace, there is nothing else to worry about. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked strangely.

"Brother Tai, the people you are talking about here are the people of the West, the people of the West are living a good life, and the people I am talking about are the displaced people. Brother Zhang said with some surprise.

"In the land of Sitrina, the homeless and the westerners are not treated at all. To give an extremely simple example, if there is a fight between a homeless person and a Westerner, and the homeless person is beaten and his hands and feet are broken, and the Ximin is only slightly injured, and finally goes to the government, the official has to sentence the homeless person to compensate the Ximin. โ€

It seemed that the more he talked, the more angry he became, the craftsman then raised his voice a little and said: "Even if the Westerners beat the homeless people to death, they don't have to beat the two boards, at most they will be released after a few days, or they will be given some broken silver, and they won't have to go to jail, I'll do it." โ€

Craftsman Zhang then stood up again, and said indignantly: "Brother Tai, you think about how these people are arrogant and domineering in Xitui, and after they come out, kill a few civilians from the Southern Dao, will they care, in short, I, Zhang, absolutely believe that those people did this kind of thing." โ€

After listening to this craftsman's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't expect that there would be such a place as Xitui under the rule of the Han Dynasty, of course, no matter what the facts were, he couldn't listen to his words, and there were still a lot of questions that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't understand.

For example, how to be a homeless person, what is a Ximin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to ask, but Brother Zhang said first: "Hey, no, Brother Tai, aren't you a merchant guard, why haven't you seen these things in Xitui, have you heard of them?" After speaking, Brother Zhang looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a suspicious face.
