Chapter 97 The Empress

Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan entered Luoyang City to meet the nephew of Empress Jia of the dynasty, Lord Jia Mi, the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry... The Sishui caravan of Liu and Sun had a small friction with the officials and merchants in Yizhou not long ago. This was originally a very small thing. Unexpectedly, the Jia family's relatives began to ban the Sishui number by taking advantage of this incident.

All the Sishui merchants in all counties and counties across the country were sealed off the cargo stations, and all caravans were blocked on the road. Then all the goods were confiscated. All the people of the Sishui family were locked up in prisons everywhere and were not careful and exiled for three thousand miles as long as they resisted. Although Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan spent money like flowing water these days, they were constantly dealing with each other. However, they could only keep their names. If they wanted to complete the settlement, they had to go to Luoyang in person and bribe the Jia family's foreign relatives to redeem the Sishui business.

At this moment, Sun Xiaochuan asked his relationship to find Shi Chong, a senior official who was a close friend of the Jia family. After Xu was given a great gift, he also helped Shi Chongshi to join forces with him. He went to Luoyang City to bribe Jia Mi, the best among the Jia family's relatives. Jia Mi was just a third-rank official in the court. Although he was not a grand official like the Taifu and Taiwei, he was a current person who served the emperor and the queen in the palace. In addition, the current situation in the court is dominated by Empress Jia, and the Sanqi Changshi has become an important position above the Taifu and Taiwei.

After Jia Mi asked Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan could enter Luoyang City to pay a visit, they prepared a ceremony of thousands of gold. They headed towards Luoyang City thousands of miles away. They originally thought they could enter the city the day before yesterday, but they didn't expect that when they were passing by Yongzhou, they suddenly encountered thousands of bandits coming to rob.

Fortunately, Liu Xi had the best preparation in advance. In addition to the 200 guards carried by his twenty-four big cars, there were 500 guards from five miles away from east, west, south, and north. After the main team was attacked, the guards fought to the death while repelling wolf smoke to warn. After seeing the brigade guards around him, they saved Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan's convoy.

Even if there were reinforcements around, it was up to Liu Xi and the monks hidden in the convoy that Sun Xiaochuan saved the convoy. Because of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were taken to the local yamen to ask questions, which delayed more than a day, so it was two days late when he arrived in Luoyang.

Now that I have just entered Luoyang City, I was scolded by the officials sent by Jia Mi as if they were scolding prisoners. Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan have been doing business for so many years, but they didn't care at the moment. After the two of them looked at each other, Sun Xiaochuan stood up, walked to the official's horse with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's Sun Xiaochuan, Sishui. Our convoy has just entered the city. We have just rested here and immediately went to Lord Jia's mansion. The car has a lot of supplies and has been delayed for some time. Please forgive me."

When Sun Xiaochuan was speaking, the official had already come to the official's horse. He stuffed horse hoof gold into the leather bags on the saddle without any silence. The official looked like he smiled. After touching the bulging leather bags quietly, he smiled and said to Sun Xiaochuan: "Dong Sun doesn't have to care. But Lord Jia was a little anxious, so he sent me to greet him. Since the car was full of goods, he must walk slowly. We understand this."

Speaking of this, the official changed his words and said, "Then you can't lose the goods. You can go slowly. Let's go back and report, so that Lord Jia no longer has to worry about Dong Dong's family." After that, the official took the man to turn his horse's head and ran in the direction he came. Gui Bugui, who was watching the fun, understood that he was going back to collect gold in advance, and was worried that after he went back, he was stolen by others.

After the official rode away, Sun Xiaochuan returned to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. After a wry smile, he said, "I originally wanted to talk to several old gods, but you have seen it. Before the King of Hell has seen it, the little ghost has come to urge him. In this way, the old gods will go to the inn we booked. After handling the matter, Xiaochuan and I will talk to several old gods again."

"No need to be so troublesome. Today, the old god gave you a face. I will accompany you brothers to the mansion of Lord Jia," Gui Bugui smiled and looked at Wu Mian who was lowering his head to eat breakfast. After pausing, he continued, "You two babies are smart people, so there is no need to go around the corner. You all know who is robbing on the road and know that you have the protection of monks. They must have a countermeasure. The immortality of you two is related to us. You can't waste the pills you gave you back then."

Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were naturally eager to follow the crowd. The same as Gui Bugui. Their two bosses already suspected that the bandits who hijacked them on the way were pretended by Jia Mi's soldiers. This was the case with Luoyang City and Longtan Tiger Knot. With the monks they hired for money, they could deal with the soldiers pretending to be bandits. They might not be the opponents of the monks in Jia Mi's mansion.

At that moment, Sun Xiaochuan hurriedly came out his and Liu Xi's carriage and asked Wu Mian. Gui Bugui took two monsters to ride on it. They got on the back of the carriage and drove to Jia Mi's mansion. Jia Mi relied on his identity as a relative of the foreigners to control the door of the mansion. Jia Mi had already done what the officials dared not think about.

After seeing the carriage coming from afar, the leader of the Imperial Guard had just wanted to notify the government officials, an official in a gorgeous uniform came out of the door and waved his hand to the leader of the Imperial Guard. He said, "Sir, don't be suspicious. These people are all local merchants who come to visit the Sanqi Changshi. Lord Jia sent me out to greet him."

The person who spoke was the closest friend of Jia Mi in the court and the disciple of the great sorcerer Xi Yingzhen. After seeing the convoy from afar, Shi Chong smiled slightly, then whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and sent the servant in. Report to Lord Jia Mi. The two rich men of Sishui have arrived, and the fast knives that have been sharpened can slaughter fat pigs.

However, what Shi Chong could not imagine was that after the convoy was parked, the one who walked down from the first carriage was Wu Mian, who had met him, and Gui Bugui, the four of them. After they took the brocade box from here, they never appeared. Even the great sorcerer Xi Yingzhen seemed to be missing. Unexpectedly, if he met them here now, he would have to find out the whereabouts of the famous master like these people today.

Before he could greet Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan also walked down in the carriage behind. The two of them came to pay tribute to Shi Chong. When they returned the tribute, Jia Mi had already brought people to welcome him. Originally, he had discussed with Shi Chong that he was waiting in the central hall for the owner of Sishui to come to greet him. However, just now he heard that the official he sent to urge people to get a whole bag of gold, and the best among the relatives could not hold back. A small official who ran errands gave him so much, which would definitely give him a hundred times or a thousand times benefit. Worried about Shi Chong playing tricks in secret, Jia Mi decided to come out to greet him himself.

After a few greetings, Jia Mi brought the two owners of Sishui and the other four 'shareholders' to the central hall. After a few polite words, Jia Mi directly mentioned the main topic: "I know the purpose of your wealthy people. In recent days, your Sishui has had some friction with the local area. However, the king's law is the king's law, and we cannot be just because of you."

Before Jia Mi finished speaking, she saw an eunuch in the palace who was useless, Tong Bing, a servant in the mansion, and had already walked to Jia Mi. This person was an eunuch close to his aunt, Empress Jia, and he never came to the mansion. While paying tribute, the eunuch said, "Sir, the Empress will come to visit the mansion soon. Get ready quickly, the Empress will arrive later."

Jia Mi was shocked and heard that her aunt was frightened at White Horse Temple last night. She also planned to cheat the entire Sishui number and go to the palace to visit her aunt. How could she condescend to the nobles? She came to her nephew's mansion. She was still in such a hurry...

Just as Jia Mi ordered the people to prepare to welcome the empress, the sound of rituals and music sounded outside the central hall. Then the short and fat queen had already entered the central hall surrounded by eunuchs: "Jia Mi, I heard that you and your aunt have found a few young and handsome people. My aunt happened to be frightened last night, so I came to you to suppress her shock."
