Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 95 Acting
Reduce the number of dishes and be economical in eating.
All merchants from the Western Regions were advised to return.
Those merchants from Southeast Asia should be kicked out tomorrow.
All trade ceased.
This man is Zhu Zhengting, the deputy commander of Western Xinjiang. He has the same official title as Zhang Jierui.
However, he obeys Meizhou Pu and is a real lackey of Meizhou Pu.
"Four people will take turns every hour. If that doesn't work, add six more to guard the study."
Charlotte lowered his head and thought to himself, these idiots are still holding on. They are lucky enough not to die there.
Come on, take four, come on, take six. Take them slowly.
It is now the Chou hour, and by the Shen hour tomorrow, all thirty-five people will be in their pocket.
Situ Jin told Zhang Jierui to spread the news and say that he had received news from Kyoto. A special envoy from Kyoto would come at 3:30 pm tomorrow.
Look at how Zhu Zhengting entertained them. You have to act out the whole play.
Before the shift change, they asked four people to guard the door.
They left the castle and went to the inn to collect the Nanyang merchants and all the goods. They would deal with them after the show was over.
They didn't sleep all night and were busy recruiting people.
Two people took turns collecting the items, and when it was almost time to report, they asked the four people to return to the city wall from the underground castle.
They returned to Zhang Jierui's residence and entered the space to rest.
Zhu Zhengting was in a panic here.
He arranged for other soldiers to receive the Kyoto envoy early in the morning.
I didn't pay attention to the guards. And there were four of them in a group, all busy with this and that, so no one would suspect that one of them didn't come back.
When it was 3 p.m., he went to check at the study door, only to find that all four guards were gone.
He walked into the study and found no one inside.
He hurried to the guards and found the room empty.
He was sweating.
Suddenly, another soldier came to report that the Nanyang merchants had left in the morning and all their goods were missing.
He was puzzled. Where did all these people go?
The Nanyang merchants brought five carts of goods. The city gates were not open. Could there be thieves?
But thieves can’t take away so much at once, right?
He was totally bewildered.
It is reported that Zhang Jierui has been in the guard regiment on the city wall.
This is really strange.
He is the only one who knows Meizhou Pu's secret.
And he was in charge of all the goods and people.
He must protect the study and the underground castle.
If Meizhoupu doesn't come back, everything in the castle will belong to him.
He sent eight servants to the door of the study.
Then he pretended to guard the city wall and patrolled the base of the wall, but did not see anything suspicious.
He felt relieved and arranged for people to make arrangements.
Situ Jin and Xia Luo slept together until the end of time.
When I opened my eyes, it was almost noon.
They took a bath and had their hair blown.
Change into clean and decent clothes.
A war horse was released from space, and then two people jumped on the horse and left the city gate.
Zhang Jierui kept staring at the city gate and saw a war horse galloping out. The person sitting on it was none other than the prince.
He straightened his military uniform and then stood on the city wall, staring at the people coming and going in the distance.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people came from outside the city.
Deputy Commander Zhu Zhengting and Zhang Jierui led the soldiers to the city gate to welcome them.
"General Zhu Zhengting."
"General Jerry Zhang."
"Welcome the special envoy to Xijiang."
"Please stand up quickly. Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!"
Situ Jin dismounted and greeted them politely.
Following behind was Charlotte and eight guards.
They met in a small town.
Several guards rode their horses at full speed to catch up with their master, but they didn't even see his shadow.
There were people following them along the way, but seeing only the eight of them as guards, and not seeing Situ Jin and Xia Luo, they were still wondering what the emperor was up to.
After following them all the way, they felt that the emperor might be setting up a trap and they had never come to Western Xinjiang, so they all went back to report.
They met their masters only when they arrived at a town.
They rode together to Xinjiang.
Only Jerry Zhang understands.
What tricks is this prince playing?
But he still had to help the prince to perform the trick.
Zhu Zhengting didn't know Situ Jin's identity.
Just when he was in doubt, Jerry Zhang spoke.
"Third brother, you are amazing. You have made great progress and were even promoted to general. I will rely on you from now on!" He saluted at the same time.
"No, no. We are neighbors. Please give me your guidance in the future!" The two people clasped their fists and greeted each other.
Zhu Zhengting was confused, but then he changed his mind.
Zhang Jierui is the nephew of the right prime minister, so it is normal that he knows a lot of people.
He dispelled his doubts and politely clasped his fists.
Welcome into the military tent.
Situ Jin took out another imperial edict and read it out: "The emperor's oral order: Today, the generals are going to the Western Frontier to investigate the matter of Meizhou Pu embezzling military rations and engaging in corruption for personal gain. Please cooperate with the investigation. This is the emperor's order!"
"Zhu Zhengting accepts the imperial edict!" Zhu Zhengting took the imperial edict and read it again.
The imperial seal must be there. He placed the imperial edict on the table in a pretentious manner.
"General Si, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I wonder what official position General Si holds in Kyoto?" As long as he could find out Situ Jin's department, he could have someone investigate this person's background.
"I am the secret guard beside the emperor. Could it be that Commander Zhu suspects that the imperial edict is fake?"
"No, no, General Si misunderstood. Zhu was just saying it casually. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"
Zhu Zhengting apologized quickly, saying that there were too many secret guards around the emperor, and he couldn't check. He didn't dare to check.
"The emperor sent us here just to investigate. Don't be too nervous. Just cooperate with the investigation." Situ Jin deliberately said one more sentence to ease their nervousness.
"That's right. We will absolutely cooperate." Zhu Zhengting stood with his head bowed.
Situ Jin knew from his nervous look that he had gained a lot of benefits from Meizhou Puna.
Maybe they did it together.
"Commander Zhang, please arrange my people."
"Yes. General Si." Zhang Jierui knew that Situ Jin did not let Zhu Zhengting make arrangements, fearing that they would secretly interfere.
"General Si, I have already arranged your accommodation. I didn't know you brought these people with you." Zhu Zhengting said attentively.
"It's okay, you have made the arrangements, my wife and I will live in the place you arrange."
In the eyes of outsiders, Situ Jin definitely does not distrust anyone.
"We will just take a walk tomorrow. We won't bother you generals to accompany us. You guys can do whatever you need to do."
Situ Jin wanted to investigate openly.
Anyway, all the gold is with them. Meizhou Pu's people are also with him. The only thing missing is the military force. Without the people, the military force will naturally collapse.
Their next thought was how to connect with the merchants from the Western Regions.
Then how to reconcile with the Nanyang merchants and become trading partners of the Mobei Kingdom.
We should improve economic exchanges, revive the local economy and let the people live a good life.
Frequent trade exchanges must be when the two countries are on good terms and the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are guaranteed, not when the two countries trade with each other privately.
They strolled on the streets for more than ten days.
In addition to buying some toys and food for the girls, they held hands and had endless things to talk about.
Zhu Zhengting sent people to follow them all the time, but they didn't see any action.
They were not in a hurry, but the people in the Western Regions were.
They want to make money, and every day they delay is a day they lose.
So, more than ten days later, people came from the Western Regions.
Zhang Jierui has been sending people to keep an eye on the merchants coming from the Western Regions.
I told Situ Jin as soon as possible.
"The merchants from the Western Regions are here."
