In this era, anyone who dares to travel thousands of miles to a foreign country to do business is ready to go back before leaving.

But they still felt upset when facing Jia Ping'an's methods.

Then there was silence and they all dispersed.

There was no movement on the first day.

There was still no movement the next day.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but feel angry, "Xiao Jia, those businessmen are gathering."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu."

Jia Ping'an stood up and said, "They will go crazy, and then they feel powerless to resist..."

This is not an era when later businessmen could dominate a country. The merchants of this era were abandoned by mainstream society, and Jia Ping'an did not think they had the courage to do anything.

"But... some officials in Shazhou have submitted memorials."

I am taking the blame! Xu Jingzong was in a panic, "This matter can no longer be settled."

Jia Ping'an was very firm.

"Wuyang Hou."

Mo Qian is here.

His face became more and more gloomy, "The foreign merchants gathered together, and some even said that they could not do it and then fought out together."

The merchants of this era also have another characteristic, that is, they are full of bandits.

Starting from thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away to do business, you will not be able to live without the tyranny of a bandit.

"Bao Dong!"

Jia Ping'an had a cold face, "Take your brothers and get the man who was bewitched."

...

"We have not violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but we are trapped in Shazhou. I don't know who the thief is. If we can't recognize it for a month, will we stay here for a month?"

A tall and thin big food businessman said: "Why is this? The cost in Shazhou is not a lot. I will lose a lot of money in a month. Who will compensate us for this money?"

He looked at the angry people, with a cunning look in his eyes, "We should gather with swords. The Tang Dynasty cannot kill us, it will destroy their credibility. Those merchants will stay away from the East, and they will lose countless money...they..."

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and a group of hundreds of riders appeared outside the door.

Lei Hong looked at everyone, "Who is bewitching the enemy and killing him out?"

The big food merchant quickly lowered his head.

If the law does not punish the masses, I will be safe if no one says it.

He suddenly found that he was suffering from fever.

He swore that he felt the warmth, so he looked up.

Everyone was watching him.

China has always emphasized righteousness since ancient times.

The so-called righteousness is, even if there are thousands of people, I will go.

What businessmen are best at is changing their minds when they see the wind and die, and to die with fellow Taoists.

Two hundred riders dragged the big food merchant out like a dead dog.

Lei Hong pulled away his big beard, "Who knew that the thief's accomplice would just go and report it, and the 50,000 yuan was unambiguous. In addition, if anyone feels that he can drag it without saying anything, then drag it."

His Lei Gong face was particularly stern at this moment, "Wuyang Hou has an order. From today on, the foreign merchants who will come back will trade as usual."

Quarantine!

No one knew what this method was, but the merchants were blown up.

"They're crazy!"

Conley and others discussed secretly in a room.

"They separated those people, and those people should be angry, but I heard someone cursing us, and then those people were like this."

A Turkic man said uneasy: "Who has Darcy been with us?"

Five people raised their hands.

"But someone saw it?"

silent.

"I firmly believe Darcy won't speak out of us, but..." Conley stood up, "This matter is inappropriate, let's prepare for it."

...

In the official hall, Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an came.

Officials from Shazhou gathered, with crowds of people in the lobby, and even people stood outside.

"They are here."

Everyone made way, and Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an walked in.

Mo Qianjian stood up and saluted, and said with a serious expression: "There are many Tang merchants in Shazhou. They either went to the Western Regions or purchased the goods of those merchants in Shazhou and brought them back to Chang'an for sale. Now the merchants of the foreign vassals have stopped, and the goods have been piled up in the residences and cannot be sold... The Tang merchants also began to make trouble. Xu Shangshu and Wuyang Hou, their patience has ended."

——Didian is the warehouse warehouse.

An official said: "Once Shazhou trade stagnates, not only Shazhou will be over, but trade from the Western Regions to Chang'an will be affected. The Ministry of Revenue will go crazy, and the court and the central government will be furious..."

Is the situation like this?

Xu Jingzong was unsure, but he still said calmly: "This matter... take a look."

Mo Qian smiled bitterly, "No, look at it again, Shangshu Xu, those merchants... The Tang Dynasty said that officials and powerful people were not allowed to be involved in business, but the biggest business was theirs. Many of the merchants were powerful families in Chang'an City. They came here before, and they were threatened."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Jia Ping'an.

Xiao Jia, I have taken the blame for you until now, is it enough?

If enough, let's stop when it's good.

Jia Ping'an stood up.

"Everyone, something happened in Chang'an. A group of thieves plundered the caravan and were immediately discovered. The army attacked and surrounded..."

We are very busy!

How can I have the time to listen to you tell stories?

An official glanced at Mo Qian, and Mo Qian could only smile bitterly.

"Xiao Jia..."

Lao Xu recalled his previous experience of taking the blame and felt that it was somewhat similar to this time.

Don't cheat me!

Jia Ping'an continued: "The thieves kidnapped the caravan and threatened that if the army dared to take action, they would kill all the merchants."

Everyone is very busy, so don’t talk nonsense, okay? Everyone is a little anxious.

"So the army surrounded the periphery, but did not dare to take action."

"Time passed, and at the beginning, the merchants were afraid and wanted to cut the thieves into pieces. But in the afternoon, some merchants took out hidden dry food for the thieves to eat, and someone gave them water..."

"No." An official thought this was too ridiculous. "How could a businessman help the thief?"

Jia Ping'an nodded, "Helped. In the end, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the merchants inside began to find ways for the thieves, and even helped them cook..."

Xu Jingzong rolled his eyes and felt that Xiao Jia was fooling others again.

"Later, the food was gone and the water was gone, and the thieves surrendered voluntarily."

"What's this?"

The officials all felt that their IQ was humiliated, no, they were pressed to the ground and rubbed hard!

Are we dementia?

Jia Ping'an didn't finish speaking, "After those merchants were rescued, they took the initiative to plead for the thieves, and even spent money to send food to prison... This is called the victims who have a sense of dependence on the thieves in extreme cases and then worship them."

This is Stockholm syndrome.

An official stood up, "Shangshu Xu, envoy, and the officials still have something to do..."

My damn doesn't want to waste time here, listen to an extremely ridiculous story!

The sound of footsteps came from outside.

"A businessman is here."

Mo Qian had a cold face, "The reception of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign vassals... drove it out."

"Don't fight!"
