Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Chapter 101 Forging the Jade Seal

There are two cities in Chang'an, the East and the West. The East Market mainly sells luxury goods, and the main families here are doing business. The West Market is also known as the Gold Market. It is mainly for civilians and foreign trade. There are also foreign businessmen living here.

Along the way, I saw a lot of foreign businessmen, just like ordinary shops on the side of the road, there are orchid shops waving outside, there are various jewelry stores, pharmacies, spice shops, etc.

Wu Meiniang took Li Tai to the back hall of a medical clinic in Jinshi, pointed at a Persian mansion from a distance and spoke.

"The people in the Persian mansion in this family are from the Wu family!"

"Well, did Mei Niang pretend to be a Persian? Then secretly sell Liuli?"

"That's right." Wu Meiniang nodded and said with a smile.

"If the colored glaze is sold by the Wu family, there will be a lot of people who are eyeing it, and it will be difficult to do anything. The most important thing is that if there are too many sold, the price will be lowered collectively."

Li Tai thought for a while, and it was true.

If there is a public auction, if there are too many sold, the price will be lowered collectively.

Although you don't dare to use martial arts, there will be people who will do everything possible to inquire, wondering why you have so many colored glazes.

So it is normal not to sell publicly.

"Not long ago, we found the Persians and used their hands to sell glazed beads."

Li Tai raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't seem to be enough to earn so much money by doing this!?"

In the name of Persia, although the vote has been changed, the result may be even worse.

Not only is it difficult to exchange so many colored glazes, it is more likely that others will be motivated to kill, and the end result is likely to be nothing but money and goods.

"Husband, don't worry, the fun is about to begin." Wu Meiniang said calmly.

"Oh?" Li Tai followed Wu Meiniang's gaze and looked at the Persian mansion.

While speaking, a Persian ran out of the mansion with his mouth full of blood.

There was blood on the corner of his mouth, his face was very pale, and he was very nervous. After looking around, he trotted all the way here in a hurry.

Li Tai looked at this Persian and felt like he was hiding some treasure.

And behind the Persians, there were a few people with malicious intentions following from a distance.

Whenever the Persians turned around, they would stop and pretend to look at the goods, but they only looked at the Persians from the corner of their eyes, with one hand tucked in their sleeves, obviously they were not good people.

The two people upstairs saw this scene clearly.

Li Tai said, "Are they trying to rob and kill him?"

Wu Meiniang said slowly.

"That's right, the Persian is speechless, but he has Liuli in his stomach, and he should be in unbearable pain now, so he needs to find a doctor."

"Huh?" Li Tai frowned, he didn't understand why he made such an unnecessary move, cutting his tongue and swallowing glass beads.

"Rare things are more expensive!

It is very expensive to sell it publicly, but it is different if it is sold privately.

If the sale is private work in exchange for human life, that's a different matter.

The first thing to do is to turn Liuli into a treasure, a treasure of extraordinary value. "

"For example?" Li Tai frowned, a little confused.

Li Tai watched, and saw the man trot all the way to the hospital where he was.

The Persian gestured in pain, roughly meaning that he accidentally swallowed the silver while biting it.

The doctor hurriedly prescribed some croton powder and sesame oil: "Mix it together and eat it. If it still doesn't recover, I'm afraid that the gods will not be able to save it."

The Persian could only shake his head, picked up the bowl and went straight to the latrine, clutching his stomach.

Not long after, several people came in, and the leader stood up and asked the doctor, "Doctor, where did that person go just now?"

"Who are you? What can you do with him?" The doctor looked at the menacing people in front of him in horror.

"Don't get me wrong, doctor, he owes us money, so..." the leader replied politely.

"That man is in the latrine." The doctor hesitated and pointed to the latrine.

"I'm disturbed!" The leader put down a tael of silver, and signaled the people behind him to walk towards the latrine with his eyes.

Soon, the Persians were packed into sacks by these people.

This kind of dress, coupled with the sack on the shoulders, attracted the attention of many people as soon as they went out.

A group of policemen stopped them and asked loudly.

"This is the Chang'an County Government. After receiving a report from the officials, someone dared to kidnap someone here. They really don't take Datang seriously!!"

There were more and more people eating melons watching, and they began to discuss.

"It's really too bold to dare to kidnap people here in Datang."

"That's right, that's right, what kind of person is this! He really ate a bear's heart and a leopard."

But Li Tai looked at this scene and felt very speechless. This plan doesn't seem to be very good! !

Looking into Li Tai's gaze, Wu Meiniang signaled Li Tai to continue watching.

"Open the sack and accept the inspection." The policeman pointed at the man with his knife and said.

Of course, the few people would not submit obediently, but after exchanging glances, they all backed away slowly, and then kicked the sack towards the arrester with lightning speed, and a group of people turned around and fled.

The policeman didn't expect this result, and he didn't have time to put away the knife, only to hear the sack being cut open with a 'tear' sound.

A pile of gold and silver jewelry appeared in front of everyone.

The policeman was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, a group of people drew their knives and stopped in front of the corpse and the gold and silver jewelry.

Everyone was extremely jealous immediately, and there was an uproar.

"Gold, it's all gold!!"

"Who is this person!?"

"It's amazing!"

Jealousy is jealousy, but frightened by the pressure of the knife, no one dared to move for a while.

The police started to put the king of gold, silver and jewelry into the bag, but soon a special thing appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

I saw that it was crystal clear and square, and it turned out to be a jade seal! !

Li Tai was startled, and looked at Wu Meiniang in disbelief.

Is it such a big game?Even dare to forge the jade seal? ? ?

Wu Meiniang explained with a smile.

"In recent years, there have been constant wars in Persia. The father of the Persian prince Belus died in battle. As a tributary country, the Persians often asked his father for soldiers.

But Persia is too far away, and no one wants to do useless work.

So Bellus came to Datang with a group of royal children and became a prince in exile.

This piece is a glazed jade seal made after the jade seal of Persia. "

This group of Persians who escaped and those who spread rumors among the crowd were all members of the Wu family, and even the confrontational arrests might have been arranged long ago.

The purpose of playing such a scene is to make others think that the Persians are fighting among themselves, and at the same time spread the rumors, acting out of convenience.

Thinking of this, Li Tai seemed to understand, nodded and said, "I see."

The eyes of the onlookers were all red, ready to move and want to snatch it, but because of the knife in the catcher's hand, no one dared to step forward.

And the catcher held a knife and scanned his surroundings with firm eyes, also very fearful.

There are only a few of them, and there are many onlookers. If there is a conflict, no one will benefit.

Just when the two sides were still at a stalemate.

The appearance of a uniform and heavily armed city guard broke the deadlock.

"Back, back!!"

The city guards waved their hands, and the whole team immediately divided into two rows, and forced their way through the crowd.

The catcher was sweating profusely, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded to the city guards, and signaled the city guards to look down.

Chapter 102

Chengwei looked at the jade seal in the catcher's hand calmly, his pupils shrank, his tone became rough, and he shouted:

"Take all the things away, and send the case to Dali Temple for trial!!"

Hearing this, the two soldiers held the halberds in both hands, stood up straight, and pushed everyone away.

Facing the heavily armed city guards, the crowd of onlookers had given up their thoughts of snatching.

It's okay to deal with three or five arresters, but it's really difficult to deal with the heavily armed city guards with bare hands.

Thinking of this, they could only back away helplessly with regret all over their faces, but they still stretched their necks, and the light still stayed on the sack.

The expected conflict did not happen, and the City Guards quickly took control of the scene.

Seeing this situation, Li Tai commented with some disdain: "A group of mobs, as long as they have the courage to swarm up by the number of people, everything is theirs."

"This is a gold market. Those who can come here are rich people. The richer they are, the more they cherish their lives. What's more, they don't know if this gold and silver treasure is real or not!"

Wu Meiniang explained with a smile.

"makes sense."

While the two were talking, the city guards would randomly pack the jade seal and the sack of gold and silver, and put them on the horse's back in full view.

He then said to the soldiers below: "Protect things and go to Dali Temple."

"Yes!!" With an order, the soldiers quickly formed a team, followed the horses and trotted all the way towards Dali Temple.

Watching the city guards and the policemen leave, the crowd of onlookers seemed to be boiling hot water.

"What's going on, if I'm not mistaken, it's a Chinese jade seal!!"

"Isn't this thing only available to the current emperor? If a private person uses jade to carve it, it's a rebellion!?"

"Yeah, isn't this something only the emperor can have?"

Just when everyone was discussing and was puzzled, a person stood up and said.

"Who said that only the current emperor has it?"

"Your Excellency, you should pay more attention to what you say, this is at the feet of the emperor."

Everyone looked at Tuo unkindly, and they took two steps back to separate him, intending to catch him to receive the reward.

The man was very speechless, showing a look of understanding the king, and said with disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph, I really don't know much. There are many small countries that pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty. This jade seal should be owned by the kings of other small countries."

"I don't study much, so don't lie to me! Small countries also use Chinese jade seals??"

"That's right, that small country is far from our written language, how can we use Chinese jade seals?"

"My Tang Dynasty is so powerful that many small countries surrendered, and some of their emperors also used Chinese jade seals."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling unbelievable.

"Then this piece of jade seal, could it be the jade seal of that small country?" Someone speculated.

"If I'm not mistaken, the people who entered this hospital were Persians. Recently, the Persian war broke out, and I heard that the king died in battle. A group of Persian royal children fled to the Tang Dynasty and begged His Majesty for troops!"

As he said that, the man showed a mysterious smile and approached and whispered.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who died just now must be the personal guard of Persia, and they will fight in the nest!"

"The Persian war is chaotic, fighting fiercely in the nest??" Everyone was a little confused, and began to make up their minds.

"Really or not, the king is gone, so are you still fighting?"

Due to the influence of the Central Plains culture, many small countries have jade seals. Among them, the "Emperor's Royal Seal" was stamped on the book of surrender of the island countries in World War II, and a "Golden Seal of the Han and Japanese Slaves" given by the Eastern Han Dynasty was not very glorious. , has been stored in the museum.

Li Tai looked at this scene and shook his head. If he guessed correctly, the rumor should have been arranged. He turned to look at Wu Meiniang and asked.

"How many people can be fooled by such a simple lie?"
