Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 97: The Queen Mother
Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan entered Luoyang City just to meet the nephew of the current Empress Jia, Master Jia Mijia, a regular attendant of Sanqi. Not long ago, the Sishui caravan of Liu and Sun had a small friction with the officials and businessmen of Yizhou, a relative of the Jia family, which was originally only a very small matter. I didn't expect that Jia's relatives would use this incident to completely block the Surabaya.
Sishui businesses and cargo terminals in all counties and counties across the country were sealed off, all caravans were blocked on the road, and then all goods were confiscated. All the people of the Surabaya were imprisoned in prisons all over the country, and they were exiled for 3,000 miles if they resisted a little. Although Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan spend money like flowing water these days, they are constantly managing their relationship up and down. However, he could only keep the names of his guys, and if he wanted to make a complete settlement, he had to go to Luoyang in person and pay heavy bribes to Jia's relatives in order to redeem the business of the Sishui.
At the moment, Sun Xiaochuan asked for a relationship with Shi Chong, a senior secretary who had a good relationship with Jia's relatives. Entering Luoyang City, he paid a bribe to Jia Mi, one of the outstanding relatives of the Jia family. This Jia Mi was only a third-rank official in the court. Although he was not a high-ranking official like Taifu or Taiwei, he was a person in the palace who served directly beside the emperor and the queen. In addition, the current situation in the court is dominated by Empress Jia, and he has become an important position above the Taifu and Taiwei.
After Jia Mi asked Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan to visit Luoyang City, the two of them prepared a gift of ten thousand gold. He traveled thousands of miles toward Luoyang City. He originally calculated that he would be able to enter the city the day before yesterday, but he did not expect that when he was passing through Yongzhou, he suddenly encountered thousands of bandits who came to loot.
Fortunately, Liu Xi had the best preparations in advance. In addition to the 200 guards he carried in his 24 carts, there were 500 guards each from east, west, north and south five miles away. After the home team was attacked, the guards desperately resisted, while releasing wolf smoke as a warning. After the surrounding brigade guards saw it, they rescued the convoy of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan.
Even if there were reinforcements around, it was thanks to the monks Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan hidden in the convoy that the convoy was protected. Because Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were taken to the local yamen for questioning, they were delayed for more than a day, so they came to Luoyang two days late.
As soon as I entered Luoyang City, I was reprimanded by the officials sent by Jia Mi, like a prisoner. Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan have seen all kinds of people in business for so many years, and they don't care at the moment. After the two looked at each other, Sun Xiaochuan stood up, walked to the official's horse with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's Sun Xiaochuan from Sishui, our motorcade has just entered the city. Let's take a break here, and we'll go immediately. In the house of Lord Jia. There are many supplies in the car and it took some time, please forgive me."
When Sun Xiaochuan was speaking, some officials had already gathered in front of the officials' horses. There was a lot of horseshoe gold stuffed in the leather bag on the saddle without a fuss, and the official had a smile on his face. After calmly touching the bulging skin, he smiled and said to Sun Xiaochuan, "Don't worry about Sun Dong's family, it's just that Mr. Jia was a little anxious, so he sent me to greet him. Since the car is full of goods, Then it must be slow to walk. We adults understand this..."
Speaking of this, the official changed his tune and said: "Then you can't lose the goods, you all go slowly. We will go back and report, and let Master Jia no longer have to worry about Sun Dong's family." After speaking, the official brought The man turned the horse's head and galloped down in the direction it came from. Gui Bugui, who was watching the excitement, understood that he was going to go back early to collect gold, and was worried that after returning, he would be stolen by others.
After the officials left on horseback, Sun Xiaochuan returned to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. After a wry smile, he said, "I originally wanted to accompany a few old gods to talk more, but as you can see, the king of **** hasn't seen it yet, and the kid has already come to urge. In this way, the old gods will go and pack it up first. The inn. After dealing with the matter, Xiaochuan, Your Majesty and I will reminisce with a few old gods..."
"Don't be so troublesome. Today, the old **** gave you a face, and I'll accompany you two to the mansion of Mr. Jia," Gui Bugui smiled and glanced at the man who was eating breakfast with his head down. Wu Mian. After a pause, he continued: "You two babies are smart people, so don't make detours. You all know who will be robbed on the road. Knowing that you are protected by monks, they must also have countermeasures. The longevity of the two of you It's all about us, so we can't just watch the pills given to you two go to waste."
Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan are naturally eager for the four of them to follow. Like the saying of returning to nowhere, their two owners had already suspected that the bandits who kidnapped them on the road were pretending to be soldiers from Jia Mi's army. In the same way, Luoyang City and Longtan Tiger Cave had no intentions. With the monks they paid for, they could deal with the soldiers pretending to be bandits. They might not be the opponents of the monks in Jia Mi's house.
At the moment, Sun Xiaochuan vacated his and Liu Xi's carriage, and invited Wu Mian and Gui Bugui to sit on the carriage with the two monsters. The two of them got into the horses and carts behind and drove all the way to the house of Jia Mi, the regular attendant of Sanqi. Relying on his status as a relative, Jia Mi dispatched a team of imperial guards to guard the gate of the mansion for him. This Jia Mi has already done something that ordinary officials would not dare to think about.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army saw the carriage coming in the distance, and just when he wanted to inform the officials in the mansion, an official in Chinese clothes came out of the mansion gate, waved his hand at the leader of the Royal Forest Army, and said: : "Sir, don't be suspicious, these people are local merchants who came to visit the Sanqi Servant. Master Jia sent me out to greet..."
The person who spoke was the close friend of Lord Jia Mi in the court, and also the disciple of the great warlock Xi Yingzhen - Da Sinong Shi Chong. After seeing the convoy from a distance, Shi Chong smiled slightly, then whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and sent the servant in. Report to Lord Jia Mi that the two rich owners of the Sishui ship have arrived, and the sharp knives that have been sharpened can be slaughtered.
However, what Shi Chong couldn't imagine was that after the convoy was parked, the four people who walked off the first carriage were Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, who had a relationship with him. After the few of them took the brocade box from here, they never appeared. Even the great warlock Xi Yingzhen seemed to have disappeared. He didn't expect to meet them here now. Today, he took the time to inquire about the whereabouts of the famous master.
Before we could chat with Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan also walked down from the carriage behind. The two took the initiative to come over to greet Shi Chong, and when they returned the salute, Jia Mi, the regular attendant of Sanqi, had already brought someone out to greet him. Originally, he and Shi Chong discussed it, and he was waiting in the middle hall for the owner of the Surabaya to come and say hello. But just when I heard that the official I sent to urge people to get a whole bag of gold, the leader of the relatives couldn't bear it anymore. A small official who ran errands gave so much, and he must be a hundred times more. A thousand times the benefits. Worried that Shi Chong was playing tricks in the dark, Jia Mi decided to come out to meet him in person.
After a few words of greeting, Jia Mi handed over the two owners of the Surabaya and the other four "shareholders" to the middle hall. After a few polite words, Jia Mi went straight to the topic: "This official knows the intentions of you several big wealthy East, and recently, there has been some friction between your Sishui number and the place. But Wang Fa is Wang Fa, it can't be because of you. ..."
Before Jia Mi's words were finished, he saw that Tong Bing, a useless servant in the palace, had already walked quickly to Jia Mi. This person is a close servant of his aunt, Empress Jia, and he will never be courteous when he comes to the mansion. The maid said at the same time: "Sir, the Empress will be going to the residence soon to save her relatives. Please prepare quickly, and the Empress will come later..."
Jia Mi was taken aback when she heard that her aunt was frightened at the White Horse Temple last night. She also planned to go to the palace to visit her aunt after corrupting the entire Surabaya. How could her old man be condescending and come to her own nephew's house. It came in such a hurry...
Just as Jia Mi instructed the people to prepare to welcome the Empress, the sound of ritual music was heard outside the central hall. Then, the chubby queen concubine, surrounded by the servants, had already entered the central hall: "Jia Mi, I heard that you and your aunt have found a few young and beautiful people, just as my aunt was frightened last night, come to you It's overwhelming here..."
While speaking, the Queen Jia had already seen the white-haired young man standing in the central hall. The world is so small...
