Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Arsenic hummed, sorted out the manuscript, and then narrated the ins and outs of the whole incident, including Wang Bodang being used to mistakenly kill Duan Zhide, the general of Tuyuhun, and Tajina bewitching and using Wang Bodang to steal the troops of the seven cities of Tuyuhun. In the picture, how did Wang Bodang go to Chang'an to die in love and infatuation until his death, how Guo Ye dealt with Wang Bodang, and reached an agreement with Duan Zhide's elder brother, Duan Zhixuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and so on.

After explaining everything, it took a whole hour for Turtle Dove and others to understand the whole story.

Arsenic finally said: "That's why Mr. Guo went deep into the tiger's den and came to Luoxie City this time, intending to find Tajina and bring her back to Chang'an to absolve Wang Bodang. Of course, the ultimate goal of Mr. Guo this time is I want to use Tajina to find out the main messenger and organization behind her once and for all!"

Turtle Dove nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "So that's the case. I didn't expect such a big thing to be involved in a small foreign woman. From the student's point of view, she is definitely not alone. Just as the adults predicted at the beginning. If she is just as simple as a foreign woman, then what is the use of her deceiving Uncle Wang to steal the military deployment map of the Seven Cities? If it is not for ulterior motives or the people behind her hidden conspiracy, why should she deceive and instigate, and even anger Uncle Wang? To kill Duan Zhide? This matter is really not easy!"

"Tsk tsk, it's not easy, it's really not easy!"

Hammer echoed: "But what I said is that this woman is not simple, hehe. Think about it, Wang Bodang is not an idle person. Wang Bodang, the white-clothed arrow, was a famous figure 20 years ago, but he was a hero. In the hands of such a foreign woman. It’s unbelievable to think about it. Tsk tsk, grandma’s bear, now I want to find out more about the origin of this woman named Tajina. Is it really as beautiful as you said? ? Or do you have a deep heart like a snake and a scorpion?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of woman she is now."

Guo Ye, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and said: "Now this woman Tajina is the key to breaking the situation. As long as you find her, all the puzzles and doubts will be solved automatically, and no matter who is behind her, they will emerge." The surface of the water. What I am most worried about now is not that I can’t find her, but that before I find her, she will be silenced, cutting off our only clue!”

Hammer said with some embarrassment: "But Tajina's return to Luoxi City is just your guess, my lord. What if she returns to Tubo, but does not return to Luoxi City?"

Turtledove also echoed the hammer this time, and said: "Yes, my lord. Even if Tajina returns to Luoxie City, Luoxie City is now in the limelight, and it is completely controlled by the two bitches Yunrong and Bazhuo. .Now we have to search for Tajina's whereabouts in the city. There is a huge crowd, and we are unable to move freely. It is really like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"what!!!"

Kang Ji, who had been frowning all this time, suddenly screamed, jumped up all of a sudden, smiled as if he had bumped his eyebrows, clapped his hands and clapped his hands and said, "Hahaha, I remembered, I will report back to the host, little boy!" People remembered where they had heard the name 'Tajina'. The villain finally remembered, I said, how could this name be so familiar to you!"

shuh~

Everyone present was moved instantly, and Guo Ye stood up suddenly, squeezed Kang Ji's arm tightly, and asked, "Kang Ji, tell me, where have you heard Tajina's name?"

Chapter 1185 Clues emerge

"Reporting to my lord, the villain has indeed heard of Tajina's name."

Kang Ji licked his lips, and said with bright eyes: "In this inn of the villain, the villain has heard the word Tajina with his own ears."

"Oh?"

Guo Ye asked: "So you haven't seen this woman with your own eyes?"

Kang Ji shook his head and said, "No. I just heard about it."

Guo Ye let out a sigh, with a little disappointment on his face, and he stretched out his hand to signal: "Kangji, go ahead and talk is better than nothing. When did you hear someone mention Tajina's name in your inn? This person is who?"

Kang Ji said: "I can't remember the exact time, but I heard someone mention this name about a year ago. The reason why the villain remembers this is because the person who mentioned this name was in the east market area of ​​the city. He is very famous!"

"I heard someone mention this name a year ago?"

Guo Ye chewed these words carefully, and analyzed himself: "Tajina hadn't come into contact with Wang Bodang a year ago, and Duan Zhide's death happened a few days ago. That is to say, Tajina It appeared in Luoxi City a year ago."

Several people in the room nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Conji!"

Guo Ye asked again: "Just now you said that the person who mentioned the name Tajina is well-known in the east market area of ​​the city? Who is this person?"

"This person is also from Tubo, called Gadar!"

Kang Ji introduced: "The reason why this Gadaer is famous in this area is because of his identity. He is the biggest slave trader in Luoxi City, and his slave farms are all over the Tubo Kingdom. But for any better slaves, he They will be escorted to some cities to be sold, and sold at a high price to the royal nobles in the royal city. The former Tubo Prime Minister Lu Denai, and the Second Prime Minister Lu Dongzan’s slaves have always been provided by Gada. My son's name is very useful in the east market area of ​​the city, and he is fierce and cruel, and he regards money as his life, so the merchants in this area are afraid of him."

Speaking of this, Kang Ji couldn't help touching his left cheek, and sighed: "Gadaer came to the villain's inn to drink, and once because the wine was not good, he beat the villain with a whip. So the villain treats him I was deeply impressed. A year ago, I heard Gadar drinking and talking with a woman wearing a veil. After a while, I saw Gada in front of the woman wearing a veil, taking out A parchment scroll. The villain not only knows this parchment scroll, but is quite familiar with it."

"A woman with a veil? A scroll?"

Guo Ye asked: "Tibetan women don't have the custom of covering their faces. It seems that she doesn't want others to know her identity. As for this parchment, what is it?"

Kang Ji gritted his teeth for a moment, and cursed: "This parchment is the contract of sale for our slaves. From the villain's great-grandfather to the villain's generation, they are all slaves of the noble lord's family. The villain's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all have one. This kind of parchment is kept in the owner's house. Unless the slave dies, this parchment will follow the slave for a lifetime. The villain was signed a slave contract from the day he was born, and then he met Lord Arsenic and Turtledove They just got rid of their slavery and destroyed this parchment. Sigh... this parchment is not so much a contract of sale as a blood book of our Tibetan slaves. I don’t know how many compatriots died on this parchment. !"

Guo Ye patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Kangji doesn't need to be angry. Sooner or later, the slaves in Tubo Kingdom will stand up and become masters. By the way, after the slave leader Gadaer took out the parchment, he followed the masked man Did the woman say yes?"

Kang Ji knew that he had strayed from the topic just now, so he immediately bowed and apologized, and then said: "I saw Gadar handing this parchment to the woman in the kerchief, and I smiled and said to her almost flatteringly. , Your honored guest, this slave is called Tajina, she is the most beautiful, strongest and most obedient slave here, and it is totally worth the price."

"Well?"

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows, almost understood, and said, "So Tajina was originally a slave of Gadar, and then she was sold to this mysterious masked woman?"

Kang Ji said: "Yes! And the villain also heard that the woman in the face scarf said that Gadar will send her more slaves in the future, no matter men or women, as long as they are young, obedient, strong, and smart slaves, she Everything. No matter how expensive the price is, as long as Gadar's goods are good, she will accept them all!"

"Weird!"

Arsenic, who had been silent all this time, muttered, and said suspiciously: "I have also stayed in Tubo, and I know that it is not uncommon for nobles to buy slaves. But I have never seen such a way of buying slaves like this mysterious woman. Obviously, she bought slaves in the past It's not for work. It's for something else."

Guo Ye sneered and said: "Of course. Isn't Tajina doing something similar to what our Dongchang fanzi did? Using color to seduce Wang Bodang, steal military secrets for her and kill Duan Zhide. Tsk tsk, from what Kang Ji recounted to the mysterious woman just now, it seems that Tajina is really just a pawn. I'm curious, who is this mysterious woman? Kang Ji, do you know?"

Kang Ji shook his head and shouted: "I don't know, this woman was covered with a veil from the beginning to the end, and since that time, this woman has never come to my inn again."

"Isn't it over if you find Gadar?"

Suddenly, Hammer interjected, and said cheerfully: "As long as we find Gadar, won't we know the whole story? And since this woman has a slave transaction with Gadar, it must be more than once or twice. Yes. Tajina counts it once, then there must be a deal down there. Just find this Gadar, and let this bastard taste the [-] kinds of torture tools in our East Factory. Hehe, I don’t believe that this guy is an iron man, sure Can pry his mouth open."

"Haha, the hammer is on point."

Guo Ye praised and asked Kang Ji: "Do you know where Gadar is now?"

Kang Ji said: "I know, Gada'er has slave farms all over Tubo, but his home is in Luoxie City. He is so famous in the market in the east of the city, how can the villain not know where he lives? but……"

"Just what?" Guo Ye urged, "Kang Ji, if you have something to say, just say it, don't babble."

Kang Ji said: "It's just that half a year ago, Gada'er climbed some high branches and moved his residence away from the market area in the east of the city. Now, he has placed his residence in the west of Luoxie City. There are now Nowadays, it is the place where the nobles live, there are guards in the city to guard and maintain, and every household has slave soldiers. I am afraid it will be difficult to catch Gadar, my lord, it is indeed difficult!"

Climb high branches?

Guo Ye secretly guessed, could it be related to the mysterious woman who bought Tajina and slaves from Gadar?

As for the difficulty that Kang Ji mentioned, Guo Ye just pursed his lips and smiled, turned his attention to Turtle Dove and Arsenic, and asked, "Do you find it difficult to find a way to capture Gadar in the west of the city?"

wow~

The three turtledoves got up and stood side by side, clasped their hands and shouted: "It's not difficult!"

Chapter 1186

For Turtledove, Hammer, and Arsenic, the Dongchang elites who outnumber one hundred, sneaking into Gadar's mansion in the west of the city, and bringing him out is a piece of cake.

But the premise is that it must be dark before acting.

After finalizing the action tonight, Guo Ye asked Kang Ji to arrange for Turtle Dove and Arsenic to go down to rest first.

After Kang Ji arranged a few people, Guo Ye asked him to bring a pen and paper to draw a simple sketch of the west of the city, and asked Kang Ji to circle Gadar's residence.

After the matter was over, he sent Kang Ji away, and thought about the round-trip route for tonight in the room by himself.
