Chapter Twenty-Three: The Final Reunion

"Stinky girl, you don't talk nonsense there." When Wang Liu heard Lu Xiao say that she was only willing to pay a hundred taels, he immediately said urgently, "How can a woman like you understand the preciousness of this Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra?" This small scripture can be related to the national book. ”

Zhang Hu, who was standing on Gao Zhen's side, sneered twice unabashedly after hearing Wang Liu's sentence "It is about the country".

Wang Liu naturally didn't take Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, the two dart walkers, in his opinion, as long as they paid for themselves, wouldn't these two people have to work hard for themselves? It's like a monkey in the palm of his hand.

So Wang Liu said unceremoniously to Zhang Hu: "What are you laughing at there?" It can be known that this "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" and the palace "Brahmana Huayan Sutra", "Daji Yu Wang Sutra" and called the three uniques of Buddhism, is the most wanted treasure of today's queen Dugu Jialuo, it can be said that the only "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" to gather the three uniques of Buddhism, and according to the translation to recite a hundred times pious is his lifelong wish. ”

"So what?" Zhang Hu interrupted impatiently, "Queen Dugu really likes you so much, so go and sell it to her." ”

"You know!" Wang Liu said to Zhang Hu: "The reasons can be complicated, when the Emperor Yang Jian of Daxing Gongwen has always been afraid of the inside, he is extremely obedient to the queen's words, and a few years ago he abolished the prince Yang Yong because of the queen's words. ”

Seeing that there was no sound from everyone around, Wang Liu continued to talk about the secrets of the government and the opposition: "But now the abolished prince Yang Yong has worked hard to govern and has gradually regained the love of Emperor Wen; And Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who had been dormant for many years, was supposed to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, but was accused of forming a party for personal gain, arrogance and lasciviousness, and gradually lost the favor of Emperor Wen......"

Gao Zhen looked at Wang Liu talking indifferently, he also knew that Wang Liu was right, after all, the person who told him the news about the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" was the teacher of the abolished prince Yang Yong, and now he was also demoted to Gao Gong, the prince of the concubine.

Gao Gong has explained the recent situation of the abolished prince Yang Yong in the letter sent to Gao Zhen, and now the abolished prince Yang Yong has regained his father's love by relying on many efforts, and he has not only been lifted from the ban in the past few months, but also can go to the early court with the ministers as in previous years.

And Yang Yong's position in the court is also higher than his younger brother Yang Guang, the king of Jin, although he has not yet corrected his name, Yang Yong is just around the corner to regain the position of prince.

However, if Yang Yong wants to become the prince again, he must also pass the pass of his mother Queen Dugu, and Emperor Wen Yang Jian will listen to Queen Dugu before re-establishing Yang Yong as the crown prince. Only with the nod of Queen Dugu, the abolished prince Yang Yong can sit back on his crown prince seat with peace of mind.

But Queen Dugu has always favored Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and will not easily approve of Yang Yong's return to the position of prince, just when Yang Yong's forces were at a loss for how to please Queen Dugu, Wang left a letter for Gao Gong to open, that is, he had to rely on the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" that Queen Dugu had sought in her life.

At that time, as long as the crown prince Yang Yong and his original wife are at the birthday banquet of Queen Dugu, taking advantage of the happy atmosphere to present the only ancient treasure in the world, "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra", he will be able to win back his mother's love in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Gao Gong hurriedly sent someone to send an urgent letter to Gao Zhen, although Gao Zhen and Gao Gong are not the same Gao clan, but due to another layer of relationship between the two, Gao Zhen and Gao Gong still maintain a very close relationship, so I will not repeat it here.

In the letter, Gao Zhen told Gao Zhen that he would take the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" from Wang Liu's hand no matter what, and promised Gao Zhen a huge profit, in addition to the cash money that would be paid to Gao Zhen in the next few years; It is also guaranteed that when Yang Yong ascends the throne in the future, the Gao family's business will definitely be able to dominate the entire southern land of the Great Sui.

With such a cheap good thing, Gao Zhen naturally would not let it go, and it just so happened that he also received a letterhead from Wang Liu, who was peddling two good knives, so he hurriedly asked Wang Liu out, so as not to be preempted by other people who were not long-sighted.

It's just that in the letter that the king left to Gao Gong, the lion opened his mouth and said that in order to buy the Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra, he needed to prepare at least 20,000 yuan. Therefore, Gao Gong also wrote a letter to Gao Zhen, instructing him to prepare all his strength for 30,000 yuan or 30,000 taels of silver just in case.

Gao Zhen looked at Wang Liu's 20,000 yuan asking price, and only felt that this person was wishful thinking, you must know that even in a place like Stone Town, where the cost is extremely high, 20 yuan is enough to ensure that a whole family is full of food and drink throughout the year. With 20,000 yuan, you can buy the entire treasury left by the king and the mansion in his house, as well as his wife and concubines, and you can also keep a lot of surplus.

And if he really wants to prepare 30,000 yuan to pay for the Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra, Gao Zhen will definitely have to greatly reduce all the recent operations of the Gao family, which will be a huge blow to the entire Gao family's business.

Since it is not cost-effective to simply buy it, Gao Zhen naturally does not plan to use legitimate methods, taking advantage of the fact that there are many people now, he directly buys this "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra", Gao Zhen thought in his heart.

So he borrowed Lu Xiao's words that "he is only willing to pay a hundred yuan", and pretended to be righteous and said to Wang Liu: "This little Lu boss is too unkind to bargain, and these scriptures are only sold for a hundred yuan, how is it possible?" ”

"Yes, how much is Gao Gong Gao Gao willing to bid?" Wang Liu's small eyes stared at Gao Zhen tightly, full of anticipation and longing.

How could Gao Zhen really follow Wang Liu's wishes, pretending to ask three questions and not knowing, "Ah? I don't know? I just said that I want to bargain with you, I think I can turn it five times on top of one hundred, how about five hundred? Or Boss Wang, tell me how much money you want? ”

Wang Liu's movements were cautious, but his appetite was unrestrained, and he stretched out his palm and said, "Fifty thousand taels ......"

As soon as the words "50,000 taels" came out, Lu Xiao, who had nothing to do with himself, was so shocked that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Boss Wang is afraid that he will lose his heart and go crazy." ”

"Getting this "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" is like being able to get the throne, and only 50,000 taels is not a loss for the abolished prince Yang Yong!" Wang Liu's body trembled because of his words, and his expression was almost crazy, "If His Royal Highness Yang Yong can't afford to give this money, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also trying his best to seek this scripture, Boss Gao can think clearly, now 50,000 taels can be taken away, and when the envoy of His Royal Highness the King of Jin arrives here, it will be more than 50,000 taels after a bid!" ”

Gao Zhen heard that the King of Jin would also send someone over, and he knew that something was wrong, so he patted Wang Liu with his hand and said with a smile: "I actually handed a letter to the King of Jin, Boss Wang knows how to sell at a price." ”

Wang Liu's short stature, shrewd face, small eyes, and mustache were all exerting, he unceremoniously slapped Gao Zhen's hand away, and added a little threat in his words: "Boss Gao to buy or not to buy?" Time waits for no one. ”

"Wang Liu, Wang Liu......" Gao Zhen looked at the hand that was slapped away by Wang Liu, touched his stubble and said, "You old puppet who is obsessed with money, have you forgotten who sent money to support you to open this pledge warehouse?" When the Lu family took the lead in saying that you cheated money and wanted to take it back, who did not hesitate to persuade others to believe you. ”

"It's me." Gao Zhen patted his chest and said, "Almost all of the temples that run the pawn industry cooperate with me, and I am also the head of the antiquities and treasure shop, brother, how can you be afraid that you won't be able to make money if you follow me?" Don't say 50,000, why is it difficult to say 100,000? This time, you will be convenient for me, and I will be able to remember you for the rest of my life, how about it? ”

Wang Liu naturally understands Gao Zhen's power as one of the wealthy merchants in the Divine Capital, if he can only bargain with Gao Zhen, Wang Liu may have succumbed, but now that Wang Liu's lone scripture is fishing for the two important figures of the Great Sui Dynasty, he naturally has confidence in his heart, and once again refused to sell the scriptures cheaply, "Please also ask Boss Gao to make a good bid." ”

"I'm making a good bid? I'm afraid that you have the life to take this money, but you have no life to spend it! Gao Zhen, who has always been tough, saw that the king did not enter the oil and salt, and he could no longer bear the annoyance in his heart, "Whether it is buying or selling, it has always been only Lao Tzu's price, I will make a price now, a thousand yuan, if you dare to say a word, from today on, as long as the business that the Shendu merchant guild can touch, you don't want to touch Lao Tzu!" ”

Wang Liu knew Gao Zhen's ferocious methods, but he didn't want to watch the boiled duck fly away like this, and he clung to the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" and didn't speak.

In the short period of time when Wang Liu and Gao Zhen were in a stalemate, Wan Jin Jinku walked into the third party in a bustling and noisy footsteps, and the person at the head was wearing a rich and silver-patterned purple robe, with a jade crown and Zhou Zheng, a full face, moist and white skin, and a slightly fat figure, but his expression was full of domineering.

"Why are there so many people? Cast them out, drive them out. The purple-clothed boy swaggered, and casually waved his little finger to pick out his ears, such a style of a child of a high-ranking family, not Yuwen Jackie Chan, who else could it be?

Yuwen Chenglong is about the same height as an ordinary adult man like Xu Wei, although he is a little bigger, he is not afraid.

However, the "Fire Liao Tai Sui" Zhang Long and the "Iron Mask Tai Sui" Zhang Hu beside Gao Zhen already looked grim, and the other eleven tall warriors also held their long sticks with both hands and waited with bated breath.

Because they all found that behind Yuwen Jackie Chan, there was a burly and upright warrior like a night wandering god, with a tough and simple appearance, and a handsome silhouette as if he had been carved by a short knife, he was dressed in a dark green robe, the collar was turned outward, and the soft armor inside the robe was shining with silver light.

This person is Sima Yuji, the deputy commander of the Golden Snake Guard of the Yuwen family, and I saw that he was holding an eight-edged bamboo iron whip that looked very heavy, if it was an ordinary person, he might not even be able to hold it, but Sima Yujia was as light as a thin sword.

It's just that when Sima Yuhuan's eyes skimmed to the man with a bloody face in the corner, the hand holding the iron whip loosened for no reason.

Gao Zhen's face was also ugly, he didn't know who the purple-clothed boy was, but he could see the private guards behind the son, and he could see Lu Min, the big boss of the Lu family trading house, who did not draw a strange face behind the purple-clothed boy and was still holding an exotic scimitar.

Lu Min was dressed in a soap robe, and his shoulders were narrow and thin like Lu Xiao, making him look very thin. 's naturally youthful and dexterous facial features make it impossible to see that Lu Min is a calm young man in his early thirties with a family and a room.

Gao Zhen saw the eagerness of Lu Min and the others rushing into the Wanjin Treasury, and had roughly guessed a thing or two about Lu Min, the purple-clothed prince and their relationship with the King of Jin, and he secretly said that something was wrong, and the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra", which was about to be taken away by a thousand guan, if it really reached the stage of bidding between the forces of the abolished prince Yang Yong and the forces of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, he might not even be able to hold 50,000 guan.

Thinking that he might have to use all the available resources in his family to advance this possible sky-high deal, even Gao Zhen felt stunned.

Lu Xiao saw the situation of Gao Zhen and Wang Liu, and guessed that Gao Zhen was likely to meddle in the matter of the Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra, but Lu Xiao didn't have time to think about the Yuwen family and King Jin now, because his sister and that damn Xu Wei happened to be in the store.

Yuwen Chenglong saw Gao Zhen's irritated look, felt that Gao Zhen was very disrespectful to him, and was about to urge his subordinates to drive away, when he suddenly heard Cui Yu's exclamation, "Yuwen Gongzi!" It's them! It's the merchant girl and the traveler in Yuwan Town, they are really together, so we have to find it so hard. ”

Lu Min turned his head and glared at Cui Yu, eager to swallow it alive, he hurriedly looked up at Yuwen Chenglong again......

Yuwen Jackie Chan still has the heart to care about whose hands the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra" has gone to at this time, and he hurriedly turned his head to stare at Lu Xiao and Xu Wei in the corner, his eyes were full of ecstasy and the anger of wanting to take revenge immediately.
