Chapter 141

Therefore, the merchants in these cities must have accounted for half of the country's income if they paid taxes to the court every year.So Central Continent is very important to Qi, we only have one chance, never a second chance. "Hence, her plan is to kill the prefect of Zhongzhou with one blow. And the spies in the three cities must attack at the same time. Taking advantage of the internal turmoil, the other three generals' armies also need to rush in time. At the bottom of the city, the inside should cooperate with the outside. As long as there is a gap in the middle, it will not be easy to launch a second attack.

Communication was underdeveloped in ancient times, and Lin Qiaoqiao seized this opportunity.The intelligence of the spies must be accurate, and the person who came to fight that day must be the prefect of Zhongzhou himself.

After this night, every city in Central Continent of Qi State went into and out of the city and checked very strictly to prevent Lin Qiaoqiao from transporting out the money transferred last night.As everyone knows, before the show ended last night, it had already been transported away.The carriages that came in and out afterwards were all to deceive people.

Ten days later, Zhao Gongwen, the prefect of Zhongzhou in Qi State, listened to his subordinates' latest report on Lin Qiaoqiao's movements.

"The demon girl is very honest these days. From time to time, she will ask someone to bring out a whole box of gold, and count the gold at the door to play. Or ask someone to spread the gold on the ground, so that she can feel what it is like to roll on it. I don't go shopping anymore, and I haven't sent people into the city to buy. It is said that in the past few days, some merchants have always gone to her to buy colored glaze. The spies found out that the colored glaze in the hands of the demon girl is not much left in stock.

The subordinates speculated that from tomorrow onwards, businessmen would visit more frequently.Now the merchants in several cities are guessing that the demon girl may still have the bottom of the box that has not been handed over.The merchants who have tasted the sweetness are going to bring enough gold to test the witch.They all held the idea that they might succeed, and even the second prince was shocked.I heard that the second prince also sent someone to buy it, but he didn't seem to plan to give too much gold. "

After hearing this, Zhao Gongwen fell into deep thought. Could it be that the witch has already transported the gold and silver out of the city.When is the most convenient time to transport away!Apparently there's no time more convenient than New Year's Eve!After reacting, Zhao Gongwen threw the new table angrily.

Zhao Gongwen said: "Damn! I was played by this little bastard."

At this moment, Zhao Gongwen's new concubine came over with a bowl of bird's nest.Zhao Gongwen, who was about to have a fit, saw the bowl in the concubine's hand and couldn't move his eyes away.

"What is this?" Zhao Gongwen asked.

The concubine was so frightened that she quickly knelt down, her body trembling. "This is a bowl of bird's nest. The bird's nest was given to my concubine by the master before. During the whole cooking process, there were servants in the house watching. I didn't poison it, and I didn't have the guts to eat it. Huh~"

Zhao Gongwen stepped forward to help the concubine, he is still very satisfied with this woman. "I'm not losing my temper with you. Don't cry. I'll go to the cashier to get 100 taels of silver notes. You can buy whatever you want. I want to ask you, where did you get the bird's nest bowl?"

The little concubine felt relieved, and said: "It was the concubine who sneaked away to watch the party on New Year's Eve. I originally wanted to go up to say hello to the master. But the maid who the wife ordered me, said that the concubine If you stepped forward and disturbed the master's elegance, the wife would definitely sell the concubine. Woohoo. The concubine only dared to watch from the sidelines, and the maid didn't know where to go. She told the concubine that she would go to make it easier. Concubine left Waiting and waiting, but they couldn't find her, so they went to find her.

Maybe it was because of the way the concubine was dressed that day, which made people misunderstand that she was from the state of Jin.There was a noble lady who invited the concubine to go in and buy together, and said to the concubine that she was willing to give the concubine some favors, and asked the concubine to pretend to be her to negotiate with the steward, and she would remind the concubine on the sidelines.The concubine didn't dare to be afraid that she would go against her word and kill the concubine again, woo woo.After the matter is done, she will give the concubine the bowl.

Woohoo.Master, everything I said is true, I can't afford this thing.Because the concubine was late returning to the carriage, the maid turned around and complained to the madam.Not only did the confinement end, the concubine thought about using this bowl to pack cold bird's nest.The concubine is afraid of pretending to be hot, in case it can't stand the heat.Woohoo. "

After hearing this, Zhao Gongwen was thinking about things while eating bird's nest.From the concubine's mouth, he got a piece of useful information.

The subordinate at the side said: "When the demon girl first arrived in Yucheng, she yelled at selling things at the same price as the Qi people. The county magistrate of Yucheng said that officials of the Jin country can use slaves to convert money into exchange. Moreover, from the tone of Yucheng county magistrate, it seems that Jin people will buy more generously."

At this time.

"Report!" the visitor said.

Zhao Gongwen asked the concubine to retreat first, and the bowl was left behind.

The visitor said again: "Report to your lord! According to the latest letter from the spies, the witch brought out a rare treasure. It caused a fight between several businessmen who came to visit. The county magistrate of Yucheng and the county magistrate of Wangyuecheng are vying to accept the case permission."

Zhao Gongwen heard, "Prepare the horse!"

He hurried to Wangyue City, and by the time he got to the scene of the crime, it was already night.It is still a glass product, but this workmanship is very exquisite.

"This is a clock that records the time very accurately. You have observed it for a day, and it has not missed the time. Moreover, the three needles are made of gold. This thing cannot withstand bumps, let alone falling! You have finally discussed it. No, who will buy it?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked impatiently.

They all looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to buy but not being able to afford it, but also not wanting the people of Chu to buy it.

Zhao Gongwen asked: "What's the matter? Are you two free?"

The two county magistrates immediately stepped forward to salute and explained the ins and outs of the matter.It turned out that the businessman from Chu State heard the news and immediately brought gold to buy Lin Qiaoqiao's bottom box.The businessmen of Qi State definitely disagreed, and they didn't know who started the fight first, anyway, it was a fight.Because it is at the junction of the two cities, both county magistrates came to deal with the matter.The merchants directly gave money to cancel the case, just wanting to negotiate the deal quickly.

Lin Qiaoqiao suggested that the highest bidder would get it, and she could also test the glazed clock by the way.Later, some merchants came and joined the bidding process.Now the price has been set. Whoever takes out 6000 million taels of gold or an equivalent item first can take it away.People from Chu State needed to transport gold, Lin Qiaoqiao proposed to transport the gold to Jin State, and if they received the gold there, they would give it to the Chu State man.The people of Chu State were afraid that Lin Qiaoqiao would play tricks, so they insisted on transporting the gold here for trading.However, the merchants of Qi State could not produce so much gold, so they proposed to buy it with iron and slaves.The businessman of Chu State was suddenly unhappy, and quarreled with the businessman of Qi State again.

Zhao Gongwen heard a black thread, and his subordinates whispered: "The second prince also came for this clock."

Zhao Gongwen took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "General Lin, you are in a good mood!"
