Chapter 355: Alone to the Market Town

Zheng He entered the room and saw Wang Hou, Qiao Lin and Jia Mi talking about something, gesturing in their hands. smiled: "You guys are learning martial arts again?" Could it be that Jami's son has recently created some moves? The three of them stood up at the same time, and Jamie responded: "General Zheng is here, I am asking General Wang for advice, I have indeed gained a lot in the past few days, and I feel that I have grown a lot." ”

Wang Hou saw that Zheng Zongbing's eyes were worried, and while inviting him to sit down, he asked, "Zheng Zongbing is here at this time, is there something wrong?" Zheng He sat down and was silent. Seeing that he had something to say, Jami hurriedly bowed down and took his leave; Seeing this, Qiao Lin was about to go out, but she heard Zheng He say: "It just so happens that Prince Jami and Princess Qiao Lin are here, sit down, there is something to discuss." Jamie and Jolene had no choice but to stop and sit down.

"When you came, you all saw that this is the world's trade distribution center, where merchants gather and business is prosperous." Zheng He looked at Wang Hou and continued, "Early this morning, Li Xing sent someone to report to me that someone in the fleet was not only robbed of the goods, but also injured more than a dozen people. ”

Wang Hou was surprised: "How could this happen? "There are so many people here, it's not surprising that this kind of thing happened, and I would like to ask General Wang to find out who did it." Most of the injured people were the Salt Gang and the Tea Horse Gang, and I heard that there was also a helmsman of the Tea Horse Gang surnamed Zhou. Zheng He saw Wang Hou standing up, and said, "General Wang, don't worry, our people are not worried about their lives." The opponent's martial arts are very high, I suspect that it is a person from the rivers and lakes, it is not clear from which country, if the government intervenes too early, it may bring passivity to the Persian state. ”

Wang Hou had a good relationship with Zhou Duozhu, and when he heard that there was no worry about his life, his heart was slightly settled, and he thought that Zheng Zongbing would let him come forward, probably worried that like Chen Xiong or Hu Jun before, the other party was targeting the fleet, if so, he naturally did not want to involve the Persian state. And there are more than 100 people from the Salt Gang and the Tea Horse Gang who go to sea, and there are many good hands among them, and those who can hurt them should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Wang Hou got up and said, "Without further ado, Zheng Zongbing, I'll rush back to the harbor now, understand the situation first, and find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible." Seeing that Qiao Lin also stood up, he hurriedly said, "Qiao Lin, Zheng Zongbing said just now, the other party's situation is unknown, you are the princess of the Adan Kingdom, your identity is different, you can't show up easily, in case the other party is angry to the Adan Kingdom, stay here first, and then talk about it after the situation is clear." ”

Qiao Lin wanted to tell that she was the elder of the Ruthless Gang, but when she heard Wang Hou say that it would involve Adan, she couldn't help but think of her sister's explanation, although she was willful, she knew what was going on, so she had to sit down reluctantly.

Zheng He sent Wang Hou out, he knew that Wang Hou had experienced a lot of things along the way, and his martial arts and mind had improved greatly, so he was relieved to hand over this matter to him to deal with, but he still repeatedly advised: "General Wang, act carefully and ensure your own safety." I have already had Li Xing told that the soldiers can be mobilized if necessary. ”

A guard brought the horse, Wang Hou took the reins, said goodbye to Zheng He, Qiao Lin and Jammy, and urged the horse out of the capital. There was no delay on the way, and in less than a cup of tea, he arrived at the harbor, handed over the horses to the guards of the fleet, and went straight to the "Tiangang" horse ship where Zhou Duo was located.

Lord Zhou's room is located on the second floor of the horse boat, Wang Hou has been here a few times before, just go up the stairs, and see a lot of people standing at the door, exactly the same as the situation after the attack on the Mei brothers more than a month ago, his heart is even more terrified, he walked over quickly, separated the crowd and entered the room. At a glance, I saw that Fan Duo, who was the rudder of the Tea Horse Gang Fuzhou, was sitting on the edge of the bed, and although Zhou Duo's face was pale, he was leaning on the head of the bed, obviously fine.

Many people in the room knew Wang Hou and knew that he not only had the golden order of the Tea Horse Gang, but also the special envoy of the Salt Gang, Yuyu, and greeted him one after another. Lord Zhou Helm wanted to sit up straight, but he touched the wound and frowned in pain: "Prince Wang...... Ahem...... What are you doing here? ”

Wang Hou hugged his fists around the field and asked rhetorically: "Does it matter if Lord Zhou Duo is injured?" Mr. Zheng heard that you were injured, and he couldn't be separated because of something, so he ordered me to come and visit. What the hell is going on? How do you get started? Zhou Duo's face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly, not knowing whether it was a lack of breath, anger or embarrassment.

The master said: "Yesterday afternoon, we were in a market town less than ten miles away from here, and suddenly more than 100 monks rushed over, all of whom were extraordinary. We only went to more than thirty people, not their opponents, and the Lord of Zhou was swept in the ribs by the Zen staff of the man who led him, and three ribs were broken. ”

"Bodhidharma Zen?" Wang Hou blurted out, seeing that everyone was looking at him in unison, secretly thinking that he was about to find Bodhidharma Zen, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative to cause trouble. "Did they leave anything behind?" ”

Lord Fan Helm shook his head: "They didn't say anything, they didn't target us at first, they first grabbed goods everywhere, and if they resisted, they would besiege people." We went to more than 30 people, how could we swallow this breath, so we desperately resisted, and the result was ...... We were just guessing that those people seemed to want to establish their authority by grabbing things, and they showed no mercy to those who dared to fight back; to those who do not resist, but to throw away their goods. ”

Wang Hou then asked, "How many things have been lost?" "Three truckloads of tea leaves, five truckloads of Dehua white porcelain, and ten truckloads of black incense, shellac, pepper, etc., sold from Ceylon and Guli, were robbed." Master Fan Helm replied on the side, and asked cautiously, "Just now, what did Wang Gongzi say about Dharma Zen Buddhism?" ”

"I'm just guessing that it's the largest Buddhist sect of Persian Buddhism, but it doesn't give me a very good impression...... Since Master Zhou Helm is fine, Zheng Zongbing is also relieved. I'm going to go to Commander Li Du now to investigate the identities of those monks and what their intentions are in doing so, and then make a plan. Before the matter is clarified, I also ask Master Fan Helm to restrain everyone and not act without authorization to prevent the situation from deteriorating. Wang Hou's eyes rolled, "Lord Zhou, you have a good rest." ”

Because Wang Hou held the tea and horse gold order, although these words were polite, it was equivalent to giving an order, how dare the Lord Fan Helm say half a word, nodded again and again, and everyone sent Wang Hou out of the room.

After leaving the "Tiangang", Wang Hou went to the "Tianquan" horse ship where the Yan Gang Li Helm was located, and the situation was similar to just now, but only the three of them were slightly injured. Returning to the treasure ship of "Tianyuan", finding Li Xing, after the two discussed, Wang Hou decided to have lunch and went to the bazaar twenty miles away alone, and went there to inquire, anyway, there were many people on the other side, and it was impossible to have no news.

Hearing that he was going to go alone, Li Xing asked worriedly: "General Wang, the people here are not familiar, and there are many people on the other side, it is too dangerous to go alone, I will secretly send five hundred people to protect you, and you can also deal with unexpected situations." Wang Hou smiled and said: "Five hundred people can still be secretly protected?" I'm afraid that as soon as I go out here, people will know about it. Li Du commanded, there are many of them, since they want to spy secretly, there are more people who go and their whereabouts will be exposed; If it doesn't work, it's better for me to go alone. ”

Li Xing listened to what Wang Hou said, so he didn't say anything more, and asked people to prepare lunch. Wang Hou hastily stroked a few mouthfuls, led the horse out of the harbor, and the two agreed: If Zishi can't rush back, it means that he has encountered a tricky matter, and Li Xing will send a large team of people to the market town, and if necessary, search Bodhidharma Zen Buddhism.

The market town is located in the southeast, less than ten miles from the harbor, it was just an inconspicuous town at the time, and gradually developed into an important market town due to its superior location. In the middle of the market town, there is a 100-acre site, surrounded by bamboo canopies, under which there is a half-person high, square stone table, half of the ground is very compacted loess, half is blue-gray stone slate ground.

Because it was just past noon, there were not many people on the field, at this moment, there was a crisp sound of the shoe hitting the stone slab, and the effort was not big, only to see a yellow horse galloping, after the "slippery" cry, he stopped with a snort, and immediately jumped down a young man.

The young man was dressed in white, it was Wang Hou, and his face was deliberately smeared with mud, making him look dusty. He led the horse and looked around, walked to a stall in front of him, and asked, "Old man, I want to ask you something, was there a fight here yesterday afternoon?" ......Before he finished asking, the old man who set up the stall waved his hand again and again, looking extremely impatient, and then waved his hands repeatedly, and wanted to bombard him away.

Wang Hou was stunned, took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, and handed it to the old man, who knew that the old man did not appreciate it, and took a few steps back, saying Persian that Wang Hou did not understand, but still waved his hand.

I don't know if the old man can't understand Chinese, or he doesn't dare to speak out of fear, Wang Hou had no choice but to give up, look coldly, and see a stall not far away, there are a lot of porcelain stacked in front of the stall, hesitate slightly, pull the horse over, take a look, and ask: "Big brother, I want to invite this Guanyin Bodhisattva, how many silver taels?" ”

The strong man had a scruffy beard, and said angrily: "Only wholesale, not retail sales." Wang Hou sighed and touched his pocket: "Big brother, I really haven't prepared so much money, can you please go back first, please take a look, if it's really Da Mingde white porcelain, I'll wholesale again, okay?" ”

When the strong man saw that he was sincere, he raised two fingers: "That's good, two taels of silver." Wang Hou paid the silver, held the porcelain statue in his hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "It is really the best Dehua white porcelain, the shape and spirit are good, the porcelain is delicate, and the face is solemn...... May I ask the eldest brother, has this Bodhisattva ever been enlightened? ”

The strong man accepted the silver, and when he heard him ask, he smiled and said, "Are you inviting the Buddha and Bodhisattva for the first time?" If you want to open the light, you have to go to the temple, please ask the Taoist monks to help you, how can there be a light in the market town? ”

Wang Hou said with a smile: "Big brother is right, I really don't understand these rules. Which monastery is the best to consecrate? The strong man stretched out his hand and pointed: "Three miles east from here, there is a Five Elements Mountain, which is the holy land of Bodhidharma Zen Buddhism, I see that you are not bad before I tell you, go quickly!" ”
