"That's right!" Gui Shiyun nodded: "I came here without expecting to come back alive. If Wang Langjun can take the lives of the two thieves and avenge me, then the relics will be in your pocket. If Otherwise, I can save my life, but it is absolutely impossible to get the relics!"
"The beauty of Chang Di is not as beautiful as my brother. There is no better person than a brother. The power of death and mourning is in the hands of brothers. The original Xi has passed away, and brothers are asking for it." (From "Poetry Chang Di", the chant is about brothers. (interested readers can check the meaning of this poem on Baidu) Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Madam, if I have such a brother who is harmed by others, I will risk my own life and avenge him! "
"So, you won the battle!" Gui Shiyun was overjoyed when she heard this and wanted to bow down.
"Wait a minute, how could I agree to such a thing!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Sangqiu, you arrange a quiet residence for this lady in Zhouliu City, and find two trustworthy women to serve you. Don't let others know !”
"Here!" Sancho responded, and then led Ghost Room Yun out of the tent, leaving only the box of treasures and Black Teeth Changzhi.
"Joining the army, are you really going to kill Fuyu Fengzhang and Fuyu Zhongsheng for this woman?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked.
"It's too early to say this now. These two are not in our hands now, aren't they?" Wang Wenzuo took out a string of East beads from the wooden box and looked at the firelight: "Chang Zhi, what do you think? What's the shape and color of the beads? How much are they worth?"
Hei Te Changzhi was stunned. He couldn't follow Wang Wenzuo's thoughts at all. After a while, he replied: "This string of beads is of top quality, especially the similar shapes and sizes. It is even more rare. If you find it in the Sixiang City market in the past, , it’s worth three to four hundred copper coins!”
"Only three or four hundred beads?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Did you know? If it were in Chang'an City, the price of this string of beads could be ten times higher!"
"If it's in Chang'an City, that's natural! Otherwise, why would merchants have to cross the ocean and work so hard!"
"Chang Zhi, just accept this!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly sent the bead string to Hei Te Chang Zhi.
"Give it to me?" Hei Te Changzhi was slightly startled.
"Not bad, don't you want it?"
Looking at Wang Wenzuo's half-smiling eyes, a thought suddenly flashed through Hei Te Changzhi's mind: Apart from Gui Shiyun, only he, Wang Wenzuo, and Sangqiu knew about what happened just now. Sangqiu was Wang Wenzuo's domestic slave, and he If he didn't accept this string of beads, Wang Wenzuo wouldn't dare to take this box of property, let alone the agreement he made with Gui Shiyun. Thinking of this, he quickly took the string of beads with both hands, gathered his hands and bowed down: "I would like to thank the king for joining the army for the reward!"
"What kind of reward is not given?" Wang Wenzuo smiled and helped Hei Te Changzhi up: "This property is not mine. As the saying goes, it belongs to those who see it. When Sancho comes back later, I will let him pick something he likes. It’s something, but it’s a bit eye-catching, so you have to put it away!”
"My subordinate understands!" Hei Te Changzhi knew that he had guessed correctly and carefully put away the string of beads: "Don't worry about joining the army. I don't have any other skills, but I still have a tight mouth!"
"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "You have seen it just now. I am not coveting this box of property. It's just that the relics are involved in Chang'an Palace. If there is any mistake, we will all die. This matter No one can know, not even Governor Liu, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes!" Hei Te Changzhi hurriedly lowered his head. Only now did he understand that when Gui Shiyun took out the box of jewelry at first, Wang Wenzuo didn't care, but later he mentioned the whereabouts of the relics. Wang Wenzuo's attitude That's when things changed. Obviously, Wang Wenzuo did not covet the box of jewels. He only accepted the box of jewels after hearing about the whereabouts of the relics. As for using the string of beads to seal his mouth, it was because if the news leaked out, it would be difficult not to be implicated in the relics. If things in the palace were ruined, everyone would be dead.
"Okay, please step back first!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand, signaling Hei Te Changzhi to step back.
"Here!"
As the curtain was lowered, Wang Wenzuo's expression became gloomy. He originally thought that the relic had nothing to do with him anymore, but he didn't expect that it happened again by mistake. Could it be that he was somehow connected with this Buddhist treasure? First Liu Yuanzhen, then Gui Shiyun, both took the initiative to find him and got involved with him.
"Why don't we send a few people to arrest that ghost boy, torture him, and ask him about the whereabouts of the relic? Then send someone to get it secretly!"
An idea flashed through Wang Wenzuo's mind, and he immediately shook his head and denied it. This method does seem to be the simplest and most direct method, but it is also the method that leaves no room for retreat. Judging from Gu Shiyun's appearance, after experiencing the tragedy of losing her brother, she can no longer be regarded as an ordinary woman. . Since she dared to come, she must have a backup plan. If this clue is broken, it will be difficult to find it. It's better to put him under house arrest first, slowly explore the truth, and make some claims. As for the lives of Fuyu Fengzhang and Fuyu Zhongsheng, Wang Wenzuo knew that this thing depended on luck, and no one could kill anyone he wanted, so he could only act according to the situation.
"Mr. Lang, I'm back!" Sancho's voice sounded.
"Well, everything is arranged?"
"It's been arranged. It's a house on the west side of Zhouliu City, by the city wall. The woman taking care of it is from my mother-in-law's family. I've already given instructions!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "You can pick a few more careful people from the Japanese who surrendered to us and live next to the house, guarding them day and night. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Sancho nodded: "I will make arrangements later!"
"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the wooden box: "Go inside and pick something you like. Remember, what happened just now must not be leaked!"
Sancho didn't refuse, he went straight to the wooden box and took out a gold necklace: "If my mother-in-law has a belt in her belly, give her this chain!"
Wang Wenzuo walked to the wooden box. At this time, he had time to carefully estimate the value of the property in the box. Based on his previous experience in the arms trade with Hei Te Changzhi, he made a rough estimate. This box of jewelry is worth about eighty or ninety thousand. Going all the way up and down, if you take it back to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't be unusual for it to be doubled seven or eight times. If Cui Hongdu had predicted not long ago that Wang Wenzuo could be promoted to the rank of a first-level official and a fifth-grade Fei Pao official, the amount of lumi, land rent, salary, and miscellaneous items he received in one month at that time would be about fifty or sixty guan. , less than six or seven hundred strings a year. Of course, if you become a civil servant, especially a foreign official, you will definitely have various other incomes, but it can be seen that 800,000 to 90,000 yuan can be said to be a "huge sum of money."
