Chapter 546: Don't be Six(1/3)
"explain!"
Inside, Peng Weiwei's eyes were red, and his hands were exerting force. The man tightened his body and screamed.
But he couldn't even pry his mouth open.
Outside, Jia Ping'an cursed: "Smash every inch of his bone with a hammer!"
Bang!
"Ao!"
The screams reached even outside, Mo Qian had a gloomy face, "The officials were also very angry and wished they could kill the thief with their own hands. But the important thing at this moment is to go to Kucha quickly."
Xu Jingzong said lightly: "Xiao Jia is an impulsive person. If he doesn't find those people and kill them, he won't be able to sleep at night."
Inside, the screams suddenly became sharp and long.
"ah……"
Mo Qian shivered, "Good means."
In the room, the thief gasped violently, and then screamed again.
"Put on the soldering iron!"
Jia Ping'an took action himself.
The charcoal basin was burning, and the soldering iron printed on the military horse gradually burned red inside.
Jia Ping'an picked up the soldering iron and pressed it without hesitation.
"No...no...ah!"
Below, Peng Weiwei smashed his toes with a hammer.
The screams continued, as if they were hell.
"explain!"
"ah!"
The thief gasped, "Yes...yes...bah!"
Jia Ping'an wiped off the spit on his face, "Continue to do it, and don't kill him first. Hang it outside and let those people identify it. Offer a reward of 50,000 yuan. If you can know who he is with, you will be rewarded 50,000 yuan."
"I'm afraid those people refuse." Xu Jingzong felt that it was inappropriate when he learned his idea. "This is Shazhou, and those people may not necessarily say it."
"I know that those foreigners are worried that they will have no place to stand after they say it, but human nature seeks profit. If that's the case, why can't everyone get involved?"
"What does it mean?" Xu Jingzong felt that Jia Ping'an was going crazy.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "From today, the transactions of foreigners have stopped, and all of them have stopped. When will the man be caught and when will it start again?"
"There will be trouble." Xu Jingzong was a little worried, "Those foreigners would make trouble, and those merchants of the Tang Dynasty would be dissatisfied. If they were to stop for a few days, if they were not done well, they would cause some things. At that time..."
Xu Jingzong felt that he would become the scapegoat.
"The thief would rather die than say it. Mr. Xu, this shows that there is an important thing behind it, and the other party is targeting us. If you don't find out, how can you go to Kucha with peace of mind?"
You were talking all over the carriage... Xu Jingzong frowned, "Xiao Jia! This matter..."
Jia Ping'an sighed: "Mr. Xu, we have a brother."
Xu Jingzong was silent and said, "Okay."
He went to find Mo Qian.
"What?" Mo Qian's gloomy face was filled with surprise, "Shazhou is a must-pass place for foreign merchants to come to the Tang Dynasty. Many merchants trade here... Once it stops, do you know what impact will it have? At most two months, Chang'an will be angry when he gets the news, and the Ministry of Revenue will clamor to tear the officials apart..."
Why did the Silk Road move Tubo?
Because there are too many benefits here.
Countless merchants drove large chariots or camel caravans from far away, constantly following a road to the east.
This road is called the Silk Road.
Shazhou is an important node on this trade route. Once the business of foreign merchants is stopped, it will soon spread.
"Will those merchants stay away from the ground? Then they sold the goods on the spot. But there were not so many Chang'an merchants in Shazhou to buy their goods, and the goods that they originally planned to sell in Shazhou could only go to Chang'an. The money was not enough on the way... They would go crazy and would tell everyone that the Tang Dynasty prohibited trade.
Then more businessmen will turn to Shazhou. All of this is what the Turks and Tubo people are most happy to see. Of course, the same is true in Kucha and other places."
Mo Qian sighed, "Shu Xu, trade is the life of Shazhou! Now you let the officials stop their lives..."
Xu Jingzong stared at him, "What happened... I'm the one who is."
This treacherous minister Xu is so responsible?
Mo Qian couldn't help but be surprised.
He was far away in Shazhou, but he heard that Xu Jingzong was a famous treacherous minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was best at flattery and was greedy for life and fear of death.
But Xu Jingzong was so responsible. Why were he who was greedy for life and feared death?
Those rumors are wrong, right?
Mo Qian tentatively said: "Shu Xu, why is this like this?"
There must be a motivation to take risks, right?
I have no choice! I want to beat Xiao Jia to death, but I can't do it.
Xu Jingzong said depressedly: "Xiao Jia said...a brother died."
Mo Qian's body was shocked, "This matter is the only one!"
He left the duty room and shouted, "Come!"
Several officials came over and Mo Qian ordered: "Go to the market and tell the city order that foreign merchants are not allowed to buy or sell before they catch the thieves."
It's burning!
The entire market exploded instantly.
The foreign merchants went to ask for the market order in anger.
"This is the order above."
The city ruling had a dark face, "Everyone went outside the market to see the thief, who recognized it... was rewarded with 50,000 yuan. No one recognized it, and foreign merchants were not allowed to trade. Who dared to attack the officials..."
The Shi Ling pressed the handle of the knife, "Can I try my hand at the edge of the knife sharply?"
"Why? This has nothing to do with us!"
"Those thieves are hiding inside, God knows who it is."
"There are fewer than hundreds of foreign vassals in this market, how do you find it?"
"I don't care!" Shi Ling said coldly: "Go and have a look."
There was a wooden cage outside the market, where thieves were locked in it. In order to prevent him from bowing his head, he tied his hair to the top of the wooden cage to ensure that he could only raise his face.
Bao Dong brought a few hundred riders on both sides.
"Accomplices who recognize this person will be 50,000!"
A big cart next to it was full of copper coins.
"It's not silk, it's all copper coins. Of course, you can do it." Bao Dong said loudly: "Even if you want goods of the same value... as long as there are those in Shazhou, Wuyang Hou promises to get them for you. And Wuyang Hou vows to keep a secret for you, even if you are his accomplice, as long as you speak, Wuyang Hou vows to send you out of Shazhou and then forget you."
This is a very valuable commitment.
Jia Ping'an sat on the side of the cage.
Conley whispered in the crowd: "Will he dare to do this? Are he crazy?"
"Conley, will there be someone..."
Conley lowered his head, "No...who dares to tell us? As long as some of us survive, we can kill him, no, kill his whole family. But... we are about to leave Shazhou later."
Later, many foreigners prepared to leave with their goods.
"Everything goes back!"
Lei Hong and his men blocked the city gate, "Until those people were found, no foreigners were allowed to leave!"
Furious.
Someone shouted: "This is discrimination!"
"Just discrimination, what?"
Jia Ping'an said coldly.
He walked out of the city gate and glanced at the people, "Who objected?"
Conley whispered: "Encourage them to try."
A businessman suddenly rushed out, "My goods are deeply loved by noble people in Chang'an. I have met the respected Prime Minister Chu...I..."
Chu Suiliang? Old Chu is about to be in trouble and becomes the sacrifice of the elder sister. Jia Ping'an shook him all over the ground with a scabbard, and then shouted: "This is a role model!"
The merchant kneeled down and howled, and everyone was silent.
