[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love
Chapter 21 Undercurrents surging
After the previous pyrite incident, it is not easy to buy pyrite in Wufeng Valley.Far away from Wufeng Valley, in the border trade and on the grassland trade road, someone held the token of Rouran royal court to prohibit Rouran merchants from selling pyrite to the Central Plains.Rouran has absolute control over the entire grassland, the north of the desert, especially the Silk Road. Pyrite is produced in Rouran, and its main purpose is to dye silk. Because of this ban, during this period, people who resell pyrite The number of foreign businessmen has plummeted.
Even so, there are still daring merchants who will bring a small amount of pyrite to the Central Plains, and of course the price will be higher.Merchants in the dye business in Wufeng Valley look forward to foreign businessmen passing through Wufeng Valley almost every day, because the pyrite and other ores bought from them are far cheaper than going to the border trade to sell goods.As soon as the caravan disguised by Wu Ti and his party entered the city, they were targeted by many shops.After several inquiries, someone found their place and was discussing to buy their goods.
The goods brought by Wu Ti were seized by Wu Luohou from a group of Gaoche merchants. Those Gaoche people committed crimes in the Rouran Royal Court, and their things were confiscated, which happened to be used as a cover for them to come to the Central Plains. .But how much this batch of goods is worth and how to sell them, not to mention the prince Wu Ti, even Wu Luohou and the few guards are not very clear.
In the past few days, Wu Ti was feeling annoyed, he was not in the mood to bargain with a few Wei merchants to sell things.In a fit of anger, he told Wuluohou Tongtong to sell it at a low price, and if he had sold it earlier, someone would always miss it.
There are indeed pyrite and other spices and dyes in this batch of goods. Because the price is cheap, many people come to the door, and many businessmen who do other businesses also come here, seeing that their goods are about to be sold out.It's also a coincidence that after Wu Ti and others, several other caravans passed through Wufeng Valley, but the goods of these caravans were rarely cared for.After inquiring, they found out that someone did not buy and sell according to the market price, which cut off their financial resources.
The foreign businessmen who travel back and forth between the north and the south all the year round are not good people. It would be worse than killing them if they can't make money in a business.Now that someone dares to ruin their business, no matter how bad they are, they can't swallow it.Several caravans gathered a group of people ready to come to seek bad luck.
Since Wu Ti met Li Duo outside Jinxiu Villa, he has been guarding outside the gate every day, as long as she doesn't come out, he will wait to see who is more patient.
Sitting in front of the tea stall, looking at Jinxiu Villa and the soldiers guarding outside, Wu Ti frowned and thought: He only knew that Duolun was going to the Central Plains to perform a special mission, but now it seems that it should be related to Heqintu.Wei Guo attaches so much importance to the picture of marriage, it may be difficult for Duo Lun to complete the task, and Li Duo lives opposite, is she also an embroiderer who weaves pictures?
He reluctantly calmed down and took a sip of tea, and continued to think about things in Wufeng Valley, just to pass the boring waiting time.
"Your Highness." Wu Luohou called out.
Wu Ti came back to his senses, and saw that he couldn't help raising his head when he saw that he was on guard, and a group of foreigners were approaching aggressively.Wu Luohou's two subordinates immediately stood up and guarded Wu Ti's sides, gripping their sabers tightly.
When this group of people approached, the head of a strong man with beards pushed one of the guards down, put the knife on the table with a bang, and cursed: "You are so brave enough to ruin our business!" !"
Wu Ti was in a bad mood at first, but now there is such a person to add to his troubles, his majestic and gentle prince didn't just come here to be angry.Because of Duo Lun, he was already full of anger, and now... Wu Ti squinted at the strong man and the group of people behind him, wiped the saliva on his face, and luckily——
Snapped!He slapped the table hard, kicked the bearded man somersaults, stood up and shouted: "You are so courageous! Wu Luohou, let them grow their brains!"
"Give it to me!" The big man got up and shouted.
These people had knives on their bodies, and they were so bright that they frightened the pedestrians and traders on the street, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The soldiers guarding the gate of Jinxiu Villa saw a brawl in the street not far away. For safety's sake, while closing the gate, someone ran to the county government office to report.
Xie Qichen lost his temper when he heard that there were foreigners fighting in Wufeng Valley, so he prepared his troops and set off immediately, heading north from Luofeng Street to Fengqi Street.
There was indeed a group of people fighting not far from the gate of Jinxiu Villa, several of them were still holding knives.
Xie Qichen had a gloomy face, these foreigners are getting bolder.He ordered: "Surround them all!"
"Yes, General!" A group of soldiers surrounded him.
Xie Qichen drove his horse forward, he was watching the movement of these people.The two sides were still fighting, regardless of whether the soldiers stopped or stopped, especially the side with fewer people, there were only four of them, but it was obvious that they still had the upper hand when fighting with a dozen or so people on the other side.
Wu Ti was playing vigorously, just in time to vent his anger.He grabbed a person, stared at him, and punched him violently—but he was caught in a fist.He struggled hard, but he didn't break away from the restrained hand.
"Stop!" Xie Qichen shouted.
When Wu Luohou saw that Prince Wu Ti was being blocked, he also asked his men to stop. The other foreign businessmen had already been beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces.
Wu Ti recognized the person blocking him, he had talked with Li Duo at the gate of Jinxiu Villa two days ago, it seemed that they knew each other.Wu Ti looked at the other party and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"General Weiyuan, Xie Qichen." He said in a deep voice, glancing at the group of people in front of him coldly, "Where are you from, you dare to gather people to fight!"
The foreign caravan who started the incident fell silent, and Wu Ti's people didn't dare to talk casually.Xie Qichen's sharp eyes shot at Wu Ti again. With this person's skills, it must not be easy.He asked the soldiers to take the man back to the Yamen first, but the man in front of him stared at him motionlessly.
"I have something to ask you!"
When Wu Ti opened his mouth, Xie Qichen was very surprised. This person is not afraid of officers and soldiers. Judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to take himself seriously at all, arrogant!Xie Qichen's hand was already on the saber.
"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" Duo Lun squeezed through the crowd and soldiers and ran over, looked helplessly at Wu Ti, clasped his fists and said, "General, please be merciful."
Xie Qichen glanced sideways at Duo Lun, and asked, "Mo Jiang, do you know him?"
Duo Lun thought for a while and said, "General Xie, he is my brother Hulu, and he came to Wufeng Valley to look for me this time. He has been taking care of the horse farm at home in Gaoche and rarely comes to the Central Plains. He must have accidentally offended that Help the businessman to act, I hope the general will forgive me."
Xie Qichen calmed down, looked at Wu Ti and said to Duo Lun: "Mo Jiang, no matter who he is, these people have violated the laws of the Great Wei, and must be brought back to the Yamen for interrogation. When everything comes to light, I will deal with it fairly. .” After he finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers: “Take everyone away!”
Watching Xie Qichen leave with his horse, Duo Lun sighed.He knew that Xie Qichen would do business, but he was afraid that Wu Ti's words would reveal his identity, so he had to explain himself.He had come to Tianxing Hall to find Luo Zhao's needle, but when he came out, he heard people on the street saying that foreigners were fighting fiercely. He was worried that it was Wu Ti, so he ran over, but it turned out to be him.It's good now, being arrested by Xie Qichen, his brother, Duo Lun sometimes really doesn't understand, who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother!
Xie Qichen probably wouldn't do anything to Wu Ti, since no one died, he would be imprisoned for a few days... Although Duo Lun thought so, he couldn't ignore it, so he had to follow behind and go to the Yamen.
The fighting outside was so chaotic, Jinxiu Villa had already heard that there was a conflict between merchants of foreign races, and knives were used, the girls in the Xiulou were a little scared.Zhiqing was also restless, wondering if there would be Wu Ti among those people...
Zhiqing hurried out of the embroidery building, but the gate of Jinxiu Villa had already been closed, and she could vaguely hear the movement outside.Standing in the courtyard for a while, until the gate was opened again by the soldiers guarding the gate, Zhi Qing quickly stepped out of the courtyard gate.
The people had already reached the corner of the street, and Xie Qichen was leading a group of soldiers on horseback. There were many people taken away by him, and the distance was too far to tell who was who. It seemed that Duo Lun was following behind.Zhiqing's heart sank, Wu Ti must be the one who was arrested, otherwise how could Duo Lun follow her all the time.The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she followed suit.
Wei-Wu-county government opened a court for interrogation.
With a sound of gavel, County Magistrate Chen, who was sitting by the side, jumped in fright. Ever since General Weiyuan came to Wufeng Valley, he hasn't had a good day.Although the political performance is mediocre, the people here can finally live and work in peace and contentment. There has never been a big disturbance in Wufeng Valley, and now there are people fighting with knives in the street. His good life as an idle county magistrate is over.
County magistrate Chen wiped the sweat from his brow, and took a look at Xie Qichen, hoping that he would not reprimand his parents for not being strict in governing the county later.
Duo Lun had a bit of face with Xie Qichen, and was allowed to listen in, and by the way, he checked and made up for the omissions in the testimony of Wu Ti and others.This is not a big case at all, it was those businessmen who provoked first, Wu Ti just taught them a lesson, and Xie Qichen pronounced the verdict soon after he understood the case.
Zhiqing waited outside the county office, only to see Duo Lun coming out alone.Seeing Zhiqing, Duo Lun couldn't help teasing her: "You are really positive about Wu Ti's matter, you know he was arrested so soon?"
"How could I not know what happened outside Jinxiu Villa?" She looked at Duo Lun, and still asked uneasy: "What's the situation now? How is Wu Ti..."
"He's fine, but he violated the laws of the Wei Dynasty by fighting. General Xie put them in prison for a day, and they will be released tomorrow after paying the fine."
The two left the county office along the street, Zhiqing didn't speak all the way, Wu Ti's arrival had completely disrupted her life, and she didn't know what to do.Based on what she knew about Wu Ti, he wouldn't just want to meet her.He bought her two years ago, probably in Wu Ti's heart he already believed that Li Duo belonged to him, but for Zhiqing now, she absolutely doesn't want to return to Rouran to be a maid again, so she still doesn't meet Wu Ti good.She didn't know how long she could hide, maybe every day counted.
Duo Lun sent Zhiqing to the gate of Jinxiu Villa, "I have been looking for the needle that killed Si Niang, but now I haven't found anything. Zhiqing, do you know..."
"I warned you a long time ago, don't inquire about the needle thing again, this matter is still being kept secret, do you want Xie Qichen to doubt you?" Zhiqing interrupted Duo Lun, she didn't know what his purpose was and didn't want to know , but won't tell him anything, besides, the current case is very complicated, and it won't do him any good to dip into this muddy water.
Duo Lun frowned, "Since you don't want to say it, I'll find other ways to investigate. You go in, I'll go first."
Seeing the back of Duo Lun leaving, Zhiqing felt very helpless. Too many people have been involved in the picture of a marriage. Go to Luoshen Manor, otherwise... Zhiqing has a feeling that her peaceful days will soon be gone forever.Fortunately, after a period of practice, Mulan's trembling hand problem has improved a lot, so she still needs to be brought back.
But Zhiqing never expected that within a few days, Duo Lun would be imprisoned by Xie Qichen, and he was trying his best to search for people related to him...
