Of course, this is the price of shipping to Chang'an, and it cannot be so expensive in Khotan Town.
But even at the price in Khotan Town, ten stones of pepper was a fortune.
The case was not complicated, and Li Zuoguo, the judge of Khotan Town, quickly found out the truth.
The murderer was none other than Yang Jiu, the steward of Yang Banan's house, who had just arrived in Cao Cao.
Yang Banan was just a small official who joined the army, and Li Siye could kill him with just one little finger.
However, behind Yang Banan stood the Hongnong Yang family, especially Yang Guozhong, who was born in the Yang family's Hezhongfang family. After Li Linfu's death, he became the right prime minister and the minister of the Ministry of Education, which can be said to be extremely powerful.
"It turns out he is a relative of the right prime minister." Li Siye said with a dark face, "No wonder he is so unscrupulous."
"Grandpa, be careful that the walls have ears." Li Zuoguo reminded in a low voice, "Don't hate the right prime minister."
"Are you afraid?" Li Siye said with a look of dismay, "Others are afraid of Yang Guozhong, but your grandfather is not."
"Yes, I am General Zuo Jinwu of Qiaoqi. The saint also has great faith, so naturally he is not afraid of the power of the right prime minister."
Li Zuoguo could only follow Li Siye's tone and said: "However, there is no need to hate the right prime minister after all. I will go to the prison to find a death row prisoner to be named the murderer, and then find a dilapidated thatched hut to burn, saying that it is the criminal's den. Ten stones are black." The pepper has also been reduced to ashes in the fire, so each department can have an explanation, and I can have an explanation when I get to Doctor Feng."
"Da Lang!" Li Siye frowned upon hearing this, "Who taught you these?"
"Grandpa?" Li Zuoguo said with some helplessness, "He is just a small Sogdian Hu merchant with no background. He will die when he dies. There is no need to have any grudge against your right prime minister because of this."
"Shut up! How can you become as cunning as those subordinate officials?" Li Siye's face showed a look of great disappointment, "Do you know that this is a waste of human life? Do you know that you are working for the tiger?"
Li Zuoguo sighed: "Master, this is what officialdom is like now."
"Nonsense! The fault of the Tang Dynasty is caused by people like you." Li Siye was furious, "You immediately led your troops to capture Yang Banan and Yang Jiu, and capture the slaves who participated in the crime."
"Master, think twice!" Li Zuoguo said urgently, "Don't act impulsively."
"Are you going?" Li Siye said, "If you don't go, I will let someone else go."
"Go, go, I'll go right now." Li Zuoguo had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After seeing Li Zuoguo off, Li Siye felt depressed and immediately ordered someone to bring a large jar of wine.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the void ahead: "Li Siye, it's better to drink less."
"Who is it?" Li Siye's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately threw away the wine jar and pulled out the sword from his waist.
With the horizontal knife in his hand, Li Siye instantly burst out with a real killing intent, and the sharp blade slashed in the direction where the sound came from just now.
…
Lu Xiaoning subconsciously leaned back.
Li Siye was a bit of a tiger, and he drew his sword at him without any explanation.
Fortunately it wasn't a naked-eye 3D screen, otherwise it would have scared him to death.
When he looked again, Li Siye had already taken a step back and stood with his sword straight.
Li Siye was seen wearing a round collar robe, with a lion's nose, a wide mouth, and tiger's eyes, and a full beard.
And the neck is so thick and strong that it feels like you can't pinch it to death even if you stand.
According to visual inspection, Li Siye is at least two meters tall, which is more than consistent with the seven-foot height recorded in history books. At this size, he is not far behind the famous basketball player O'Neal.
Li Siye should be shorter than O'Neal, but fatter.
In fact, most of the ancient warriors were fat.
A large waist and ten girth are usually used to describe a fierce general.
…
"Who is pretending to be a ghost here? Come out with me!"
Li Siye held a horizontal sword and stared into the void ahead.
The voice just now was hiding in this direction.
It is said that there are demons in Dashi who can use illusions to confuse people's hearts and create hallucinations.
However, as long as the will is strong enough, one can see through all the illusions in the world.
So Li Siye used his eyes to stare at the void in front of him, trying to see the clues.
Just then, the weird voice sounded again: "Don't look, you can't see me."
The hairs all over Li Siye's body stood up, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He shouted to himself: "How dare you, a demon, to act in front of me, Li Siye, and not reveal your true form to me quickly!"
"Li Siye, please calm down. I am Lu Xiujing, my name is Lingbao."
"That's nonsense. It has been more than three hundred years since Lu Tianshi ascended to heaven, and An De is reincarnated!"
Li Siye was obviously not a believer in Taoism, but he had also heard that Lu Xiujing was the founder of the Lingbao Sect of Taoism.
"Li Siye, you are right. I ascended to heaven more than three hundred years ago. Now I am in heaven, so I can see you but you can't see me. Now you understand."
"You are so bold, you dare to call yourself Lu Tianshi!"
But Li Siye still didn't believe it and shouted sternly: "Come here!"
The door was knocked open, and a dozen Anxi troops holding rifles and wearing black hammer armor swarmed in.
"Go and get the barrel from the barracks!" Li Siye issued an unexpected military order.
"Ah?" More than a dozen Anxi troops looked at each other, wondering whether they should go or not.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go quickly!" Li Siye immediately scolded him with a straight face.
"Here!" More than a dozen Anxi troops responded, then turned around and left in a hurry.
In a short while, the Anxi Army carried six or seven respectful barrels into Li Siye's public house.
"Sprinkle it with me all over the public house, splash it!" Li Siye asked the Anxi army to sprinkle excrement water everywhere.
The Anxi Army did not dare to disobey the order, so they immediately picked up a manure spoon and poured manure water into every corner of the public house.
In just a few moments, the public house was filled with the strong stench of excrement, which was almost nauseating.
…
Lu Xiaoning was also a little confused when he saw An Xijun splashing excrement everywhere on the screen.
Li Siye really regarded him as a monster, so he asked Anxi's army to pour filth on him and force him to reveal himself. But can filth really drive away evil spirits? Why should I use a few buckets of black dog blood?
Lu Xiaoning was angry and funny, and said with a wry smile: "Li Siye, what are you doing?"
"Ding, bang, bang!" The sound of buckets and dung spoons falling to the ground was instantly heard. More than a dozen Anxi Army soldiers threw away the things in their hands almost at the same time, and then pulled out the horizontal sword with their backhand, looking into the air with horror on their faces. .
If I heard it right, there seemed to be something talking above their heads?
But there is obviously nothing above the head! No wonder the general ordered them to sprinkle filth to drive away evil spirits!
"Don't panic." Li Siye shouted, "We warriors are full of energy and blood, and it is difficult for the evil spirits and evil spirits to get close to us!"
When a dozen Anxi Army officers heard this, they immediately became calm. Yes, their warriors were full of blood and evil spirits were difficult to approach. When a dozen warriors gathered together, they were able to ward off all evils, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Keep throwing filth with me until the monster shows his true form."
Li Siye gave an order, and more than a dozen Anxi troops continued to splash excrement.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoning said angrily: "Li Siye, maybe using black dog blood will be more effective?"
"How dare the demon be so arrogant!" Li Siye was furious, "Go and find the black dog quickly and buy some big roosters. I want to see how long this demon can be so arrogant!"
"Here!" Several Anxi troops immediately took the order and left.
Lu Xiaoning was also speechless, thinking of the problem simply.
Originally, I wanted to get familiar with Li Siye first.
Then he entered Li Siye's staff and became a military advisor.
Although it is not possible to directly lead the army in the Tang Dynasty world, it is very satisfying to be able to make suggestions as the military advisor of Khotan Town and help the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty to wipe out Tubo and other Central Asian countries.
And Lu Xiaoning is also confident that he can be a good military advisor.
After all, more than a thousand years of knowledge reserves are not given in vain.
If it doesn't work, he still has a trick, which is to ask questions on Zhihu.
But Li Siye's reaction was completely different from what he expected.
Shouldn't it be like Lu Wen and the three of them calling themselves immortals and singing with their hands crossed? Why do you think of him as a monster instead? Are you going to use black dog blood and rooster blood to force him to reveal himself? There is no way to communicate.
At that moment, Lu Xiaoning said: "Li Siye, I just want to kindly remind you to drink less, remember to wear armor when going to the battlefield, and never go into battle shirtless, but since you don't appreciate it, forget it."
After speaking, Lu Xiaoning turned the camera away from the public house in Khotan Town.
The street scene of Khotan once again appeared on the computer screen.
In terms of beauty, the street scenes in Khotan are really not that beautiful.
But it is more lively and popular, and caravans and camel caravans are constantly coming and going.
In addition to the Tang merchants, there were also many Hu merchants with blue eyes and red beards and noses.
The surveillance camera turned again, and then Lu Wen was seen being blocked.
