Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

"Master Dai, you need to ensure our safety!"

The leader of the Persians was called Shi Mo, and he did not expect that there would be so many people outside today.

Although they originally wanted to make today's events known to everyone, but after so many people really came, they felt a little guilty.

"Captain Shi, it's natural. I have already arranged for troops from the Ministry of War to escort you out of customs."

"If you need it, you can escort them all the way out of the border of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Shi Mo quickly shook his head and said, "No need, no need, Mr. Dai just needs someone to escort us to West Market."

"Our caravan has already prepared everything in the West Market, so don't bother Mr. Dai."

After they exchanged the money, most of the gold would be sent to the Wang family in Taiyuan except for the part brought back by the caravan from the Western Regions. Naturally, it was impossible for them to be under the surveillance of the army all the time.

You know, this caravan was secretly formed by the Wang family many years ago, and everyone except the captain of the caravan, Shi Mo, did not know their relationship with the Wang family.

This time, in order to deal with Li You, the Wang family exposed the caravan to Li You, so it is very likely that the caravan will disband after it leaves the Western Regions and arrives in Persia.

As for Shi Mo, he will continue to lurk in Persia, and it may take another five or six years before he can form a caravan to Datang again.

It is also possible that he will have to stay in the Western Regions for the rest of his life.

Thinking that it might be a lifetime to leave this time, Shi Mo couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

But he had to repay the Wang family's kindness to him.

Just when Shi Mo was secretly sad, Li You suddenly walked up behind him and said, "Actually, sometimes if you don't want to leave, no one can stop you!"

The sudden appearance of Li You startled Shi Mo, he quickly turned around and saw Li You with a smile on his face.

Seeing Li You appearing, Dai Zhou was just about to explain to Shi Mo when Li You said, "I don't think I need to introduce myself."

Shi Mo nodded, bowed and said, "Shi Mo, I have seen King Yan."

Li You asked him to stand up and said, "This king knows that you are in a hurry to take the money away, so he didn't ask anyone to bring the gold in."

"Now I have asked someone to set up a platform outside. After a while, after we inspect the banknotes, you can directly bring the gold with you."

"However, before that, there are still some routine formalities here at the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"My lord, I'm waiting for you outside!"

After finishing speaking, Li You led the people out without waiting for Shi Mo to speak.

Li You had just left, and when Shi Mo was still in the fog, Dai Zhou brought over a stack of paperwork for Shi Mo to fill out.

"Master Dai, we are just exchanging Datang coins, why is it so troublesome?"

"I have also learned from other merchants before that it is not so troublesome to exchange Tang coins in Chang'an?"

"I knew it would be troublesome, so I went to the black market dealer! Although I will lose a little, it is convenient and quick!"

Facing Shi Mo's complaints, Dai Zhou remained unmoved.

"There is nothing we can do about it. In fact, the rules have always been like this. It's just that the previous exchange amount was relatively small, so we took a special channel."

"Actually, this time, it is also good for you to fill in these contents."

"You have brought a large amount of gold and silver to go out this time. If you don't have these documents, it will be inconvenient for you to go out in the future."

"At that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs will issue a document for you, and you can seek help from various government offices in the future."

Facing a series of preferential conditions given by Dai Zhou, Shi Mo could only smile wryly.

To be able to get the care of the government all the way is a great thing for a real Persian businessman, but it is different for Shi Mo.

The so-called my honey, he is only poison.

On the way back to the Western Regions, Shi Mo will definitely find ways to avoid the eyes of the government.

First, he was afraid that he would be suspected of not taking away the gold and silver.

Second, he was also afraid that Li You would jump over the wall in a hurry.

Although through his understanding over the past few years, Li You's reputation is not bad, but he can't guarantee what he can do for millions of dollars.

In desperation, in order to exchange it earlier, Shi Mo could only bite the bullet and fill out the paperwork.

In the beginning, Shi Mo filled the ground cautiously, but after completing a few pieces, his speed began to pick up.

Because the further you get to the back form, the easier it is to fill out.

In many places, you don’t actually need to write by yourself, it’s just for selection.

So Shi Mo, who was so anxious, filled it out with his intuition without even thinking about it.

Seeing Shi Mo burying his head in the form and writing like flying, Dai Zhou showed an invisible smile on his face.

"Hey, I know you will definitely fill in these forms quickly in order to prevent the night from having too many dreams."

"I just don't know how much useful information you can reveal in these forms."

In fact, most of these tables were brought by Li You. In the multiple-choice questions behind this table, there are actually many inducing options.

Through these options, he can read a lot of information.

This time, although Li You had the confidence to disintegrate the opponent's offensive, he didn't want to be so passive.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no one who can prevent a thief for a thousand days.

But for a person like Shi Mo, it is really difficult to pry any useful information out of his mouth.

This time, Li You thought about trying to attack Shi Mo in other ways, and took advantage of his eagerness to exchange Datang coins to dig out some deeper information from the information table.

During these limited days, Jin Yiwei was at full strength and conducted an all-round investigation on Shi Mo's caravan.

But judging from the results, apart from the fact that the amount exchanged in the end was a bit too large, the camouflage of this caravan can be described as flawless.

This caravan has been active in the Western Turkic and Xue Yantuo areas for seven or eight years. During this period, it has also left footprints in Chang'an, Luoyang, Youzhou, and Taiyuan, and has traded with most of the Central Plains families. .

It is precisely because of this reason that this time Shi Mo came to exchange Datang coins, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Accounts from the very beginning, so much so that Dai Zhou personally received him today.

It was precisely because of the seamless background of the caravan that Li You's fighting spirit was aroused.

He understood that as long as there was a problem with the caravan, it would definitely be found.

Anyone who has been in contact will inevitably leave clues.

And now Li You wanted to find the loopholes in Shi Mo or his caravan through the clues that Shi Mo had inadvertently left behind.

Once he finds out this loophole, it will be easy to find more pawns buried by the aristocratic family.
