The front row was shooting just now, and the back row was waiting.
Now the front row retreats to the back row to reload, and the back row becomes the front row to shoot.
Repeatedly.
Wang Baobao thought wrong, there was no chance for him to seize the gun.
The leader hurriedly knelt down: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I surrender! Don't shoot."
Lan Yu waved her hand again: "Stop."
Soldiers came up to search him and confirmed that the leader had no weapons.
Lan Yu sighed: "Since you sincerely surrender, what are you shouting for? A few more people died in vain."
The leader cried and said, "It wasn't me who yelled, it was him."
He turned back and pointed at Wang Baobao, only to find that Wang Baobao had turned around and ran out of the city gate, then jumped on the horse outside the city and left Juechen.
Lan Yu pointed at Wang Baobao's back and asked the leader: "Who is that fool?"
The leader sobbed: "Wang Baobao."
Lan Yu sighed: "Damn it, tsk tsk tsk, he ran so fast!!"
Mu Ying frowned: "With this run, I don't know when I can catch him."
-----
After such a commotion, all the tribes in Xifan did not dare to come out to challenge.
Zhu Bai asked someone to send two half-sized shepherd dogs to Lan Yu and the others.
Then Lan Yu and the others were not in a hurry and just consumed it.
Zhu Bai told the Guan Ya Bureau to arrest Yan and Cha tightly.
Lan Yu and Mu Ying asked the border guards and the people in the city to receive salt according to their heads.
Anyone who dares to receive more, hide and sell privately will be punished as treason.
All carriages are not allowed to leave the customs, and people entering and exiting the customs must be strictly searched.
Although it is still a puppy, it has a very good sense of smell. As long as the officers and soldiers hold it and smell the people leaving the customs and the things they take, they will know whether the other party has brought salt or tea. The salt is okay, Xifan can dry it himself from the lake.
But tea can't help it.
Moreover, the scent of tea is strong, and Lan Yu's dog looks different from other dogs, like a wolf, with a particularly sharp nose.
A small bag of tea leaves hidden in a large bag of rice can still be smelled by a dog.
Lan Yu caught three or four tea smugglers and sentenced them to death, so no one dared to smuggle tea again.
Xifan couldn't get any tea leaves at all, and all the tribes complained endlessly.
------
Queen Ma said she hadn't slept well recently and asked Concubine Li Shu to get some agarwood from the warehouse.
As a result, Li Shufei personally took people to search for a long time, but only found some scattered incense.
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse said that they ran out of agarwood last year. In previous years, Champa would pay tribute to agarwood. I don’t know why it hasn’t been delivered yet this year.
Concubine Hu Shun heard about it and told Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai then told the tooth leader that if someone was selling it in the Guan Ya Bureau, he would buy it no matter how much it cost.
That day, Tianya Chang came up and said: "Your Highness, someone has brought the best Hoi An agarwood to sell."
Zhu Bai didn't know why, so he asked Ya Chang: "What is the value of Hoi An agarwood?"
Ya Chang said: "Hoi An agarwood is a specialty of Champa. In the past, only the palace and the royal family could afford it, and it was rarely seen among the people."
Zhu Bai: "Where is Champa?"
Ya Zhang unfolded the map and pointed to a place: "Probably here."
Zhu Bai suddenly realized: Oh, it is central Vietnam.
He asked: "That's it, just buy it."
The tooth leader said: "That's the strange thing. He said it would only be sold to the owners of the Guan Ya Bureau."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Bring him up."
The man selling agarwood was short and dark, with a flat nose and round face, a look common among Lingnan people.
He speaks Yingtian Mandarin, and his appearance is not much different from that of Han Chinese, but his accent is a bit awkward.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized that this man was from Champa.
There was no agarwood in Champa to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but there was ready stock to be sold at the Guanya Bureau. If he was not so cowardly as to seek death, he might have some hidden agenda.
Zhu Bai remained calm and asked with a smile: "I want all your agarwood, but the price is a bit expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
The man said: "If it's the owner of the Guanya Bureau, the price can be negotiated. If it's someone else, let's talk face to face."
Ya Chang said hurriedly: "Don't be rude, this is the owner of the Guan Ya Bureau, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang."
The man hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Highness makes atonement. I am blind and do not recognize Your Highness."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "You are the envoy of occupying the city."
The man was stunned and said hurriedly: "Weichen is the messenger who captured the city. People say that His Highness is extremely smart, and it is true. His Highness actually recognized Wei Chen's identity at a glance."
Zhu Bai: "Why do you have any grievance in meeting me in this way?"
The envoy said: "Wei Chen has been in the capital for a month and has reported to the Ministry of Rites, but he has not had a chance to see the emperor. Is it because Wei Chen's king has angered the emperor? Wei Chen is afraid that the memorial will not reach the emperor, so he dare not Just wait a little longer. I heard that the Guanya Bureau is the property of the emperor, so I secretly hid some agarwood, and I came to the Guanya Bureau to sell the agarwood so that I can report this to His Highness."
Zhu Bai frowned: "No. My father was still talking about why your country didn't come so late this year."
The messenger breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, I will feel relieved."
What do Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang want to do?
Agarwood is a small matter, but if it causes the two countries to become hostile and the border becomes unstable, it will be in trouble.
Zhu Bai sighed: "Your seal is on me."
Lao Zhu gave tooth tags to the kings of each subordinate country to facilitate the envoys to prove their identity.
Messenger: "Yes, yes."
Zhu Bai: "Now, please follow me into the palace and explain this matter to my father personally."
-----
Lao Zhu was so angry that he trembled after listening to the envoy from the city.
Zhu Biao also gritted his teeth and said: "Nowadays, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites are really becoming more and more shameless."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and did not have an attack on the spot. He only comforted the envoy with a few words and then let him go.
Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao exchanged surprised looks.
In the morning of the next day, Lao Zhu's face remained as usual. After listening to all the officials report the important events one by one, he asked Wang Guangyang: "Master Wang, do you have anything to report?"
Zhu Bai suddenly realized that Lao Zhu originally planned to give Wang Guangyang another chance to defend himself.
Wang Guangyang hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have no important matters to report."
Since this bastard returned to the court, he has been as silent as a dead person all day long.
I thought he was being cautious, but now I know that he really has nothing to do because he doesn't care about anything.
It is rare for Lao Zhu to be merciful. If he was given another chance, he would not take it.
Sure enough, God will not save people if they don’t save themselves.
Zhu Bai sighed secretly.
Lao Zhu sneered at Zhu Bai: "You have nothing to say, but we have something to ask you."
He waved to the side.
A person walked out from the end of the queue and came to the front.
Lao Zhu raised his chin to the man and asked Wang Guangyang, "Does Mr. Wang know this man?"
Wang Guangyang glanced at the man, his face changed slightly, but he said, "I don't know him."
Lao Zhu asked Hu Weiyong: "Do you know Mr. Hu?"
Hu Weiyong hesitated for a long time and replied, "Wei Chen doesn't know him."
Lao Zhu asked the Minister of Rites, "Where are you?"
The Minister of Rites wiped his sweat and said: "This is the envoy from the Champa Kingdom. He came to pay tribute a month ago."
Lao Zhu gritted his teeth: "He has been here for a month, why didn't you report it to us?"
