Chapter 14 The Taiyuan Wang Family(1/2)
There are two markets in the Tang Dynasty.
Dongcheng City is located in the east of the city, very close to the Daming Palace, Tai Chi Palace and other palaces. It mainly serves high-ranking officials and nobles. Its products are mainly luxury goods, and most of the people living in local people.
Xicheng City is located in the west of the city. It mainly serves the common people and is also a place for the Tang people to trade goods with foreign merchants. It is the world trade market with the largest area and the widest radiation area.
Most merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries that came to the Tang Dynasty through the Silk Road were here.
There are many shops in Xishi, with a wide range of goods, and free trades of people of all kinds are extremely lively.
The Tang people called buying items in the east and west markets "buy east" or "buy west", and the word "things" was born over time.
In addition to the products operated by thousands of shops such as medicinal shops, porcelain shops, silk shops, bran shops, and silk shops, there are also many hostels, flag pavilions and food stalls around.
Among them, the more distinctive ones are all kinds of dance shows, and most of the people come from the Western Regions.
The Hu merchants in the Western Regions passed through the countries of the Western Regions, passed through the vast desert, followed the ancient Silk Road, crossed the Hexi Corridor, and finally passed through Kaiyuan Gate in Chang'an, entering the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. The end was the West City.
If Chang'an is the starting point of the Silk Road, then Xishi is the starting point of the starting point.
It's noon.
When Su Dawei and his group arrived in Xishi, they were witnessing the busiest time in Xishi.
Usually, three hundred drums sounded, and the market opened.
But at this moment, although Xishi City was opened, it was ordered by the municipal officials not to approach a certain area of Xishi City.
Because there was a fire there not long ago.
Although the fire has been extinguished, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.
In order to inspect the site, many shops' businesses were delayed, attracting a lot of criticism.
Su Dawei glanced at Gao Dahu beside him and saw his face very ugly.
"The dentist's shop is in a fire?"
"yes."
"It seems that someone is taking the lead."
Su Dawei frowned slightly.
"Which family that Xu Qingwang said was just now? Do you still remember?"
"Remember."
The Wang family in Taiyuan also has many houses. If you don’t understand this, you will not be able to continue to investigate.
Su Dawei stood in front of the burned building in the West City, his eyes lit up and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The other party seemed to have noticed it, and turned around suddenly and saw Su Dawei, shouting in surprise.
"Ami!"
"Big White Bear!"
Su Dawei waved to him.
Shen Yuan pushed away the county jail officer blocking in front of him, strode to Su Dawei, and touched the back of his head with a simple face: "Why are you here? By the way, Master Eighth heard that you are back, and he had clamored to ask you to drink."
"Help me go back to the Eighth Master. I have a case in the past two days. After I finish processing, I will go to find him."
Su Dawei reached out and patted Shen Yuan's thick shoulder.
On the day he came back, in order to get stabbed, he pretended to go to the county government for a while.
However, Qian Bashi was investigating the case outside and had not yet encountered it.
"Okay, I'll tell Master Eight."
Shen Yuan nodded.
In recent years, he has experienced a lot of experience in his bad guys. He has a murderous aura on his body, which is more fierce than before, and no one in the market dares to bully him anymore.
However, I have been living in Su Dawei's house for a long time and have been as close as a family.
"Shen Yuan, how could a fire occur in such an important place in Xicheng City?"
"I heard that this is a bit strange. There are water tanks next to each shop, just to prevent them. I heard from the city office that it was impossible to extinguish the water when it started. I suspected that someone had poured the turmeric oil."
"Someone deliberately set fire?"
"It should be."
Su Dawei nodded and patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder again: "Okay, you go and do it first, I have to do it for a while."
"good."
Shen Yuan nodded and left.
Su Dawei glanced at Gao Dahu next to him and said, "No need to look here, it's all burned to white ground, all clues are broken, you can go to a place with me first."
"Is it the Wang family?"
"It's the Wang family, but it's not the Wang family you mentioned."
Gao Dahu was confused by Su Dawei: "Shi Gong, why can't I understand what you said?"
"You will know in a while. By the way, call me your name outside and remember the confidentiality regulations."
"Uh, OK Ami."
...
About half an hour later, Su Dawei brought Gao Dahu and several agents from Ducha Temple to a house.
Su Dawei recognized the door, and after confirming that it was correct, he reached out to hold the door.
I haven't been here for several years, and I'm really afraid of finding the wrong place.
"Ami, it seems to be..."
"It's the man's house in Nancheng County, so talk less and see more."
"oh."
A moment later, the sound of walking came from inside.
The door opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with haggard and tiredness.
"Why are you?"
The owner of the house was stunned when he saw Su Dawei.
Su Dawei laughed and opened his arms: "Jingzhi, I'm back, are you surprised or surprised?"
"hehe."
Wang Jingzhi sneered twice and closed the door suddenly.
Fortunately, Su Dawei was quick-eyed and quickly, and reached out to support the door: "Jingzhi, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, are you just treating friends like this?"
"You won't come to me if you're fine. Look at the people behind you, all with the smell of a public servant. Is it here again to investigate the case?"
"I just knew there was nothing to hide from you."
Su Dawei laughed, his face clear of shame.
He pushed his hands and slapped the door open, reaching out to give Wang Jingzhi a hug.
"I won't say anything about your and my friendship. Please invite the guests in."
"You evil thief."
Nancheng County male Wang Jingzhi.
His father was Wang Gui, whose courtesy name was Shujie, and he was from Taiyuan. He was the grandson of Wang Sengbian, the Minister of the Southern Liang Dynasty. He was one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty.
In the 13th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, Wang Gui was summoned to the secretary to introspection and was appointed as the Taichang Zhili Lang.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he served as the consultant of the Crown Prince's Office, as the Crown Prince Zhongshe, and the Crown Prince Zhongyun, who was the confidant of the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng.
Later, he was exiled due to the Yang Wengan incident.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wang Gui was recalled to Chang'an again and served as a counselor, Huangmen Minister, Shizhong, Minister of Rites, and Duke of Yongning County.
In the 13th year of Zhenguan, the posthumous title was Yi.
Sounds awesome.
There are even more awesome.
Wang Gui and Emperor Taizong were in-laws, and Emperor Taizong's third daughter, Princess Nanping, was Wang Gui's daughter-in-law.
After Princess Nanping married into the Wang family, Wang Gui insisted on Nanping's public office to kneel down to his and his wife for the in-laws.
You should know that since the Five Barbarians invaded China, rituals and music have collapsed.
Although the Li Tang royal family was named as the Li clan of the Longxi Li clan in the five surnames and seven families, the blood of the Hu people actually flowed in their bodies.
Li Shimin has always wanted to restore rituals and music, but has been unable to find a suitable candidate.
Wang Gui's insistence made him very happy to see the long-lost etiquette and law.
