"This is simple!" Cao Yena pulled out the dagger from his waist and handed it out: "Whoever wants to go out, kill me with a knife first, cut off my head and show it to Wang Sima. Just say that I just went crazy. , what he said doesn’t count, and now he refuses to pay, I, Cao Ye, will never complain at all!”
Cao Yena held the dagger in his hand and walked around in front of all the Hu merchants, but no one dared to come and take the dagger. At the end, Cao Yena smiled and said: "What's the matter, no one dares to come? No one dares to come and kill." Little old man, no one dares to tell that Wang Sima that he refuses to give us money? Guys, do you think this Wang Sima was asking us if we would give you money? Is he asking us if we want our lives? Didn’t you see? Do you want to clean up the blood stains on those Tang people? As long as I just said no, our blood will be splashed on them!"
All the merchants were silent, and no one said a word. After a while, someone whispered: "That half house of gold and silver is too much, isn't it? Mr. Cao can bargain for it!"
"Bargaining?" Cao Ye said with a sneer: "People have iron on their bodies and in their hands. What do you have? Why should you bargain? If you want to give less, they will kill us all and everything in the temple belongs to them." , and then the temple was burned down, and we went underground, how could we have the honor to meet Mingzun?"
"Even if what you say makes sense, but so much gold and silver is gone, I wonder how you can keep gold and silver in the temple to explain to the believers!" someone said coldly.
"Don't worry, I'll have to answer this for you!" Cao Ye said with a confident look: "In this chaos in Chang'an, all other merchants were robbed, and their own lives were not saved. Not only were our lives saved, The goods stored here have not been lost at all, only half of the gold and silver has been lost, and the remaining half has been saved. If anyone feels that he has suffered a loss in such a catastrophe, just come to me, Cao Ye, and I will take care of it. Nona deal with it!"
When all the Hu merchants heard what Cao Ye said, their faces changed slightly. Since they are in this temple, they are all upper-class Hu merchants. As Cao Yena said, it is certainly a huge loss for Wang Wenzuo to take away half of his gold and silver, but depending on who he compares to, the other merchants in Chang'an City lost not only their gold and silver, but also their lives. In this case, who can blame them for their incompetence? They can even say that they have merit and pass their losses on to other Hu businessmen, and no one dares to say that they are wrong.
"What Mr. Cao said is true, but what we just said is really outrageous!" One person said in a deep voice.
"Yes, if someone had offered us a hoard of gold and silver in exchange for our lives and temples half a quarter of an hour ago, would we have agreed?"
"What Mr. Cao said is indeed fair. Besides, what the Tang people have taken away now is only one load of gold and one load of silver, and the rest is just an IOU. Calculating it this way, our losses are actually insignificant!"
"Not bad!"
In an instant, all the Hu merchants had smiles on their faces, and they were in a good-natured mood, not looking like Cai Cai at all. Cao Sengnu secretly harbored contempt in his heart and said coldly: "My uncle is a little tired. Please step aside and let my uncle go to the back to rest!"
Back in the backyard, Cao Sengnu helped Cao Yena sit down, gently patted Cao Yena's back and said, "Uncle, don't get angry with these shameless villains!"...
"That's all!" Cao Ye said with a smile: "Slave monk, how could I get angry with them? In fact, we are all the same. We are all businessmen who are unjust for profit. In other words, we are all villains, but our positions are different. "
"uncle!"
"Stop talking, don't stay here with me, go to Wang Sima and listen to his orders!"
"Where's Wang Sima? Why, he just asked for such a large sum of money from us!"
"Don't you understand? Something like this happened in Chang'an City. We were in a desperate situation and we prayed for help in front of Ming Zun. He was the first one to rush to the West Market!"
"Uncle, you said Wang Sima was sent by Ming Zun?" Cao Sengnu's face changed slightly.
"Yes, it should be said that they are people who are favored by Ming Zun! Isn't it normal for Ming Zun's money to be given to people who are favored by Ming Zun?" Cao Ye said with a smile. It turns out that the Sogdians believe in Zoroastrianism, and most of their commercial trade, remittances and deposits are under the witness and protection of their main god Ahura Mazda, the Mingzun in Cao Ye's mouth. Theoretically, the gold and silver stored under the temple The goods are also Mingzun's property.
「
Uncle, that Wang Sima is from the Tang Dynasty, how can he be someone favored by the Ming Dynasty? "
"Then let me ask you, whose approach did you take when you asked General Jin to build the temple?"
"This -" Cao Sengnu was speechless for a moment, and then replied after a while: "It was Wang Sima's recommendation, but I also gave him a lot of benefits to repay the favor!"
"Hahaha!" Cao Yena laughed: "Slave monk, Mingzun's wisdom is infinite, how much can we mortals understand? All we need to do is follow Mingzun's instructions. Go! Listen to that king Sima’s orders, serve him sincerely, just like you serve me!”
————————————————————————
In the corridor outside the Zoroastrian Temple, tired soldiers sat on the steps in twos and threes, taking off their helmets, drinking water, nibbling dry food, and wrapping their wounds. Some even took off their breastplates to relieve their swollen shoulders. It's more comfortable for your neck. Bodies were scattered in a small square not far away, but this did not affect their appetite. People were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, as if they were in the backyard of Jin Mansion full of flowers.
The heavy steps of the porters caught the attention of the soldiers. They stood up one after another and curiously looked at the two rattan boxes carried out by the porters, guessing what was inside.
"Hey! Guess what's in the head here?"
"I don't know, but it must be quite heavy! Look at the mulberry wood pole, it's bent like this!"
"That's true. Look at the porter, his arms and legs are shaking so much!"
"Isn't it all gold and silver? Do you remember what Wang Sima said earlier? There are hundreds of millions of gold and silver in the temple. After defeating the thief, we can all become rich!"
"I'm afraid things are not that simple. Not to mention that these Hu merchants are all misers. How can they come up with so much gold and silver so easily? Even if it is a reward, the battle is not over yet. How can it be rewarded in the middle of the battle?"
"That's true, but it would be great if there was a reward here. Even if it's copper coins, since there are only copper coins in these two boxes, each of the hundreds of us can get three or five coins!"
"You don't need to worry about it. Wang Sima is not a stingy person. After this battle, we will definitely get three or five guan. If nothing else, we can save these Hu Shang lives. They don't have to draw any blood. ?」
"As I say, just kill all these Hu merchants and leave everything to the hands of those thieves outside. If Wang Sima eats meat, we can also drink soup!"
