My country, you can pinch it

Obviously, this cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and this is not a place to talk, so the group had to take Duo Erduo and the others back to the restaurant.

Duo ErDuo knew that today was the only chance, so without any hesitation, she told the matter one by one.

"Che Xiguo, my siblings and I can no longer go back, so we want to start a business like other people from the Western Regions. I have saved a lot of money over the years, plus what my younger brother has on hand and the people who stayed behind, We formed a caravan. Persian rich spices and gorgeous blankets are very popular with merchants in Dashun, and the profits are high. We almost took out all the money and replaced it with spices and blankets. A month ago, our The caravan finally came to Yongliang. I thought I could finally make money and start over, but I didn’t expect that we couldn’t find a buyer with the goods in our hands.”

Duo ErDuo's beautiful eyes have long lost the charm and temptation of when she danced and toasted, but now they are full of bitterness.

"Is the quality of the goods not good?" Shang Jinling asked.

At this time, the young man behind Duo Erduo suddenly said: "No, no, I have seen every spice, and I have checked each blanket, and there is absolutely nothing bad." His accent With a deep sense of awkwardness, he seemed to be unfamiliar with Chinese, and he was shy. When he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately lowered his head and hid behind his sister.

"Tuya, you have to salute His Highness King Ning and everyone before you talk." Duo Erduo said to him, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, my brother was still young when he left Chexi Kingdom, and he has been hiding in Tibet all these years. A little shy. But he is right, this is our first time to go into business, we have bet everything, and we will never be greedy for cheap and sell bad things. Whether it is spices or blankets, they are of high quality, so I just want to It means that even if you earn a little less, you must first make the first business."

Shang Xiaowu was puzzled: "Then why is there no buyer?"

But Shang Xiaoshuang thought for a while and said, "Xiao Wu, do you still remember? The third brother-in-law once said that Hu merchants who came to Yongliang to do business even if they crossed the desert wilderness and escaped robbery by horse thieves, they walked to Yongliang for several months. Liang, it’s not just that they can do business if they want to, they have to get the consent of the elders of the Hu people.”

Hearing this, Shang Jinling looked over: "Sixth sister, what do you say?"

Shang Xiaoshuang shook his head, "We don't know the details, we have to find a businessman to ask, but Duo Erduo should understand, right?"

Duo Erduo nodded, "Yes, all Hu merchants, especially those who come to Yongliang for the first time, must send them a sum of money and get shelter, so that they can contact Shun merchants for business. If they are deceived, They can also come forward to help negotiate."

"What if you don't give it?"

"If you don't give it, you won't be able to do business. They will ruin all your business. Even if you have the best goods in your hand, you won't be able to find a willing buyer at a cheap price."

At this time, Liu Ke asked: "So, you didn't give that money?"

"No, we gave it. I took [-]% of the goods, and I also gave Duan Ping an extra [-]% of the profit. Thank you for his care over the years." When Duo Erduo said this, Hai Lan's eyes showed a deep look. Angry, "However, he promised well on the surface, but he still let us not do business with words!"

Shang Xiaowu blurted out, "Why?"

Shang Jinling said, "I don't want to let him go."

Even if Shang Jinling has no extra thoughts, he has to admit that Duo Erduo is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. She is good at singing and dancing, has a charming figure, and is a natural beauty. She is the best weapon to deal with men.And her younger brother, even though he is a man, is too beautiful. If someone has a special hobby, it will be a disaster.

Duo Erduo bit her lip and nodded, with a little moisture in her eyes, but she stubbornly raised her head and refused to let it flow, "Yes, he doesn't want to let me go, and he doesn't want to let Tuya go, he wants to control me like before. Me, to seduce all kinds of men for him."

"It's too much!" The twins took the lead in shouting.

"I don't want to, so our goods have been staying in Yongliang for more than a month. We have almost spent all our money. We can't sell them anymore, and we can't even eat and stay. Just when I was planning to attract big merchants at a loss-making price, suddenly Someone found us and was willing to take our goods, and the price was reasonable."

"The ones from just now?" Shang Xiaowu asked.

"Yes, his surname is Wang. I heard that he is a big merchant in the south of Dashun. He has a backer behind him. He doesn't take the elders of the Hu people seriously."

"In Yongliang, there are many merchants who don't take barbarians seriously. It's just to see if the price you give can cover these troubles." Liu Ke finished speaking coolly, and then asked, "Do you believe it?"

Duo Erduo smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness Ning, although we are desperate, we are not that stupid. In fact, we are vigilant. We are afraid that he is the bait given by Duan Ping, so we dare not give too much hope. But he is like an ordinary Seeing that we could not sell the goods, they pressed down the price vigorously until we could hardly bear it, and then offered the conditions of all settlement on the spot, forcing us to make another step, so the transaction price was really high. Not high, almost on the verge of losing money, we have to believe it. He said that we will pick up the goods today after three days. We thought it would be safe for three days, but we didn’t expect that just last night, we were attacked by thieves. Lost the goods."

"thief?"

"Yes, covered your face, broke into the house, and snatched the goods directly." Duo Erduo said.

"So blatant?" Liu Ke laughed angrily, but this was on his territory, "You didn't report to the authorities?"

"Reported, but..."

"Did you hurt someone?" Shang Jinling asked.

"No." Duo Erduo shook her head, "They didn't hurt anyone, but Tuya and one of us were pushed and shoved when they blocked it, and it was just scratched." Duo Erduo said, pulling his younger brother and lifting him up. His sleeves did have scratches, but not deep.

"It didn't hurt anyone, even the government's investigation is limited. Anyway, it's impossible to recover within a few days." Liu Ke paused here, feeling the need to explain to his subordinates, "This can't be blamed on Zhao Bufan, With all the things on him, there is always a priority, right?"

Especially a master who likes to distribute things to his subordinates, but he can spare a lot of time to go shopping with his sweetheart... Then this unlucky scholar can only share the master's worries and take care of everything.

What's more, Zhao Bufan didn't bother to get involved in the grievances between Hu people.

Duo ErDuo presented a sales contract, "I know who did it, but there is no proof, and I never thought that his methods would be so despicable. We lost the goods, and only then did we find out what was written in the contract. The money for breach of contract is three times as high!"

Liu Ke took a look at the contract, and then handed it to Shang Jinling, "As far as the contract is concerned, the buyer and the seller have signed and signed, so it is valid, and we can only follow the above. If you can't deliver the goods, then If you can’t pay the default money, even if you pay off the debt with your own body, the government can’t stop it.”

In fact, after hearing this story, one should also know what role the businessman surnamed Wang played in it. He deliberately tricked the Duoerduo siblings into signing the deal, which implied three times the compensation for breach of contract, with the temptation of paying the full amount on the spot. The purpose of the contract is to use this to coerce the siblings to obediently ask Duan Ping for help. From now on, they will stop thinking about freedom, and their lives will be in the hands of each other.

When the twins thought of the vile smile of the shopkeeper just now, and the presumptuous eyes like sticky poisonous snakes, the twins burned with anger from the bottom of their hearts. What they hated most was bullying women, so they meddled in today's business.

Shang Xiaowu said angrily: "Is there no other way? Duo Erduo finally regained her freedom, no longer need to use her body to win men over, so is it possible that she will return to the days when she became a plaything?"

And Shang Xiaoshuang looked at Liu Ke, "Your Highness, this is your territory, so why are the barbarian elders and elders so unscrupulous, do you think you, the lord of Yongliang, are too disrespectful?"

Liu Ke rubbed his chin, nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, Tai Te is not a thing, this is not taking the master seriously! Luo Yun!"

"Subordinates are here."

"Go, send someone to this king to secretly watch Duan Ping and that businessman surnamed Wang. I don't believe that they can hide these stolen goods forever, and they have to sell them when the weather calms down." Liu Ke sneered.

"Yes." Luo Yun clasped his fists, and strode away.

Then Liu Ke ordered: "Tuanzi, go to the entrance of the market and invite Mr. Gao over. It's time for dinner. My master is the host. Please have dinner in this restaurant."

"Yes, Your Highness."

However, the twins glanced at each other, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Is this the end?" They looked at Duo Erduo who was a little at a loss, "Your Highness, what about Duo Erduo?"

Liu Ke asked puzzledly, "Didn't the two of you settle it?"

The twins wondered, "What have we solved?"

So Liu Ke imitated Shang Xiaoshuang's movements, directly took his own jade pendant from his waist, and then threw it to Shang Jinling, saying domineeringly: "The upper limit is 10 taels, not to mention three times, ten times is enough to pay is you."

Shang Jinling caught the jade pendant speechlessly, thinking that this thing is so brittle, wouldn't she be afraid that it would break if she didn't catch it?

Holding the jade pendant, he turned it over out of curiosity for a moment, and it turned out to be a living jade rabbit... The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, thinking how much obsession does this person have for rabbits?

The twins looked at this action and were stunned, "No, Your Highness, this is just a stopgap measure, I'm waiting for you to get it back!"

"Take back?"

The two identical girls nodded together, "Yeah."

Liu Ke pouted at Duoerduo sister and brother, "Then what should they do?"

The twins stared, their faces full of shock.

"If you break the contract, you have to pay the price. You can either pay three times the debt, or repay the debt with your own body. If you two get it back, they will repay the debt with your own body." Liu Ke said leisurely.

"You are King Ning..."

Liu Ke spread his hands together: "King Ning is not an overlord, he has to be reasonable and act according to the law, right, Ling Ling?"

The twins saw their little cousin playing with the jade pendant and nodded, and echoed crisply and loudly: "That's right."

The two girls: "..." said, are you two wearing the same pair of trousers, and it's okay to carry them behind your back?

Duo Erduo listened, and quickly said: "You two ladies, don't worry, even if I pay off the debt with my own body, I want to redeem your things. This is my own negligence, and I will definitely not let you lose anything!" Guaranteed, guilty face.

But how could the twins agree?

Shang Xiaoshuang comforted: "Don't, it's not a big deal, it's only 3 taels, it's better than you all going into the fire pit."

"But……"

"No but, do you want to accept your fate after struggling for so long?" Shang Xiaowu asked.

Tears finally fell from Duo Erduo's eyes, those blue eyes were as if the sea was crying, it was heartbreaking, to be honest, when such a stunner cried, not to mention men, even women would want to go through fire and water for her.

The two rough girls touched their arms up and down, but they couldn't find a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, so they could only carefully raise their hands to wipe away her tears.

Only Liu Ke, who was not interested in men and women, only sneered at Liu Ke, who was still caring about the rabbit, "Come on, she didn't accept her fate, and she took care of you two, and took this opportunity to come before the king."

The twins were taken aback when they heard the words, Shang Xiaowu immediately denied it: "How is it possible? We just made up a temporary idea."

"Nothing is impossible, Miss Seven." Shang Jinling said at this time, "Since the goods were lost last night, why did they still appear in the noisy market today? Is there a good amount of place to sit down and discuss this slowly?"

Hearing this, Duo Erduo moved her eyes slightly, and lowered her gaze.

The twins looked at Duo Erduo in surprise, then looked back at Shang Jinling, and finally landed on Liu Ke.

"Although this king has never given her a chance, she did try her best to get close to me before. Is it not difficult to find my whereabouts?" Liu Ke said in a casual tone, but his eyes were extremely sharp and insightful. The coldness makes people shudder.

And Duo Erduo bit her lip under the eyes of the twins, knelt down slowly, and finally said: "Yes, I waited at Yushiji on purpose."

"You..." The twins opened their eyes in disbelief.

However, Duo Erduo shook her head and said: "But Your Highness King Ning, you guessed wrong, the person I want to find is not you." She turned her head, her blue eyes were full of apology and gratitude, "It's the two girls."

Shang Xiaowu pointed at herself in surprise, "Us?"

Liu Ke and Shang Jinling looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Duo Erduo laughed, "Yes, I have indeed searched for His Highness Ning Wang many times, because it is too difficult to get rid of Duan Ping and even the elders' control with my own ability, so I have to seek help from others. There is no doubt that In Yongliang, there is no stronger backer than His Royal Highness King Ning, but unfortunately no matter what method I use, I cannot get close to you."

"Nonsense, I'm not interested in you, why would I want to see you? What if people misunderstand you?" Liu Ke said bluntly.

Duo Erduo smiled bitterly, "So I can only think of other ways, the matter is true, we are indeed at a loss. To be honest, if I didn't see that carriage by chance yesterday, I'm afraid I would have knelt in front of Duan Ping at this moment."

"carriage?"

"Yes, the carriage that His Royal Highness King Ning gave to the young master of the Shang family. In the past, in order to stand out for the Qian family, Miss Shang picked three bandit mountains and marked them down. It has been circulated in the circle of merchants, saying that the Shang family Jealous of evil like a vengeful, chivalrous and righteous, I was wondering if I could attract the attention of the two young ladies and help me too."

Shang Xiaowu was startled when he heard that, "So that's how it is."

"With the temperament of the older sisters, if they run into each other, they won't ignore them," Shang Jinling said.

"I'm sorry, I tricked you." Duo Erduo kowtowed to the twins, "But we really have nothing to do, please help us! I will repay you!"

She pulled her younger brother to kneel down together, bent her stubborn back, but was full of helplessness and sadness.
