Chapter 040 Extortion
There is Liquan Fang in the north of the west city, originally named Chengming Fang. Later, Liquan came out and was renamed Liquan Fang. There is a Zuo Temple in the south of the west gate.
When Elmadie first arrived in Chang'an, she settled here. The high priest who presided over the affairs of the church here were Zhongcao people, and many of the believers were Zhongcao people.
The high priest Adal is a tall and tall old man with thick beard and hair connected together, with a high nose and deep eyes. The characteristics of the Hu people are very obvious. He has a pair of bright big eyes, his eyes are gentle and calm, revealing his devotion and faith in God. When he saw Elmadie again, the high priest was very happy, as if he saw his long-lost daughter coming back.
He caressed Elmiedy's face and tears flowed. "Elmiedy, where have you been these days? Why don't you go home to see it?"
Elmurdy knelt in front of the high priest, kissed his hand, and burst into tears. "Blessed by Ahura, Elmurdy is back."
After hearing about Elmmadi's experience, Adal sighed. He had been looking for Elmmadi, but he didn't expect that Elmmadi was resold three times in the west market next door.
After recounting the old story, Elmmadi told Cao Yena about the news, and at the same time asked Adal to get help from him to find a child similar to the insect girl to implement the plan. Adal nodded repeatedly and turned around and asked someone to bring a little girl.
Li Zaixing smiled when he saw the child. Perhaps there was really a God of protection in the dark. This little girl is not only about the same age as Zhunniang, but also looks like Zhunniang, especially after she dressed up as Hu Tong.
"So similar?" Li Zaixing said with a smile.
"Blessed by Ahura," Adal smiled and said, "She should be considered the cousin of the insect girl, and her mother and Cao Ye are fellow sisters."
Li Zaixing thought to himself, no wonder he looks so much, it turns out he is a cousin. "What's her name?"
"There is a Persian name called Mitra, and the Chinese name is Caomit."
Li Zaixing rubbed his nose and thought that the Chinese name was difficult to pronounce. Just like Cao Ye's, it was not the name of the Central Plains. He pulled Mitra and cared for him, "Your name is Mitra, but you still have a nickname called Chongniang, do you understand?"
Mitra nodded sensiblely, blinked a pair of big blue eyes, and stared at Li Zaixing curiously.
Adal then called a pair of young and agile twins and said to Elmiedi: "Like you, they were all princesses back then. They have been looking for princesses for years. It is useless to stay here. Let him follow you. This one is called Julia, his sister, and his sister is called Hestia."
Elmmady was overjoyed and turned around to ask Li Zaixing for instructions. Li Zaixing looked at the two women carefully. After a long time, he couldn't recognize which sister was a sister. They were the same tall and looked the same. Although they were not as burly as Elmmady, they were tall among women. It seems that Elmmady's general tallness in Cao people is not a false statement.
After discussing the relevant confidential matters with Adal, Li Zaixing took Mitra out of the Zoroastrian Temple. When he passed by the western city, he stopped and said to Almadie: "Let's go, let's find the profiteer and get the money back."
Almadie smiled, turned her head and followed Li Zaixing into Hu City. They came to Li Zaixing's house where Li Zaixing bought Almadie yesterday. When the round-faced Hu Shang saw Li Zaixing, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Master, are you going to buy people today or sell people?" He glanced at Almaddy and said with concern: "This beast didn't hurt me, right?"
"She didn't hurt me, you hurt me." Li Zaixing went to the hall with a swaying swaying. Without waiting for Hu Shangrang, he sat down, crossed his legs and brushed his trouser legs. The Julia sisters helped Elmiedi, who had not healed his leg, and sat down in the hall, holding a scimitar, standing behind Li Zaixing, with a cold face and a bad expression.
Hu Shang saw that the situation was wrong, and his smile became even more enthusiastic. While winking at Jiannu next to him, he presented incense tea and said with a smile: "How can I say this? What are the things that I have to do inadequate hospitality? Just say it, I will just accompany you."
Li Zaixing reached out and took out Elmiedy's slave contract from his arms, threw it on the case, and glanced at Hu Shang: "Your slave contract has caused me a lot. If I hadn't had friends in my official position, I'd probably not see you today. It's a crime to buy and sell people privately... Hehe, it's not a small matter."
Hu Shang's eyes twitched and smiled a little unnaturally. He knew what he did. Elmiedi was not a serious slave, and this slave creed was also fake. Strictly speaking, it was illegal. However, illegal things did not mean that no one did it. Many people were greedy for cheap things and were willing to buy such slaves of unknown origin, especially homeless Hu people. No one would care about him for the sake of a Hu slave.
Today, Li Zaixing came to him, which surprised him a little. He wanted to have an attack, but after listening to Li Zaixing's voice, he had friends in the government, so this matter was a bit difficult.
"Maybe you don't know very well." Li Zaixing smiled slightly and pointed to the Zhu Liya sisters behind him: "Do you think they are here to protect me? No, they are here to ask you for an explanation. Almadi is from the Liquanfang Temple, Cao Guo and Zhong Cao, who are from the Jiu surname of Zhaowu, you should have heard of it?"
Hu Shang's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Almaddy, then looked at the cold-eyed Julia sisters. The fine beads of sweat slid down from his forehead. Zhong Cao? He knew too well that Zhong Cao people were fighting and could draw their swords to face each other for a little big thing. He was so unlucky that he picked up a private slave and actually picked up Zhong Cao people who were very brave and fierce?
"Master, I really don't know." Hu Shang knelt down on the ground with a pounce, kowtowed to Elmie Di, and said with a sad face: "My mother, you have been here for several months, but you have never mentioned that you are from the temple next to you. If you say it, I dare not treat you like this. I have sent you back a long time ago, and I dare not accept you for a penny..."
Hu Shang kowtowed and cried again, as if he was a father who died. It seemed that it was not Al Maddy who suffered in the past few months, but he. Al Maddy ignored her. She had been tortured hard in the past few months. Today, she would not let the profiteer get rid of the skin. She would not give up. The people in the middle Cao are good at fighting, but this is Chang'an, not the Western Regions. So even if Adal knew that she had suffered here, she could only be glad that she had escaped from danger, but she could not have the idea of revenge. Li Zaixing was different. He was a native of the Tang Dynasty and had friends in the officialdom. Governing this profiteer was just a matter of raising his hands.
Li Zaixing was indifferent. He knew that things were not that simple. Since this Hu businessman dared to do business here, of course he had to pay protection fees and ask for protection from a local tyrant. He said he had friends in the official position, but he might not be able to scare him. It won't take long to think that local tyrant will come. The unscrupulous businessman acted so miserably, just to act like a show. He was really afraid, and he should take out the money and eliminate disasters at this moment, rather than pretending to wipe his tears.
Sure enough, in just a cup of tea, several strong men with tilted heads and open their arms rushed over. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted loudly: "Who dares to come to the West Market to cause trouble and hinder people's business." The strong man Pi Erding, who was in charge, glanced around, and his eyes stayed on the pretty sister Julia for a moment, and finally fell on Li Zaixing's face, frowned: "Where did you come from?"
"Just come from Pingkangfang." Li Zaixing slowly patted the slaves on the table. "I bought a female slave here yesterday. I spent 18 yuan, but it turned out to be a private slave. I was almost arrested by the government. I came here today to seek justice, isn't it okay?"
"Pingkangfang? Zhang Wan's brother?"
"Zhang Wan?" Li Zaixing laughed: "Do you know me?"
"Of course I know each other brothers." Pi Erding raised his eyebrows: "However, he is in Pingkangfang and will not interfere with my Xishi. Even if you are his brother, you can't make trouble here."
"I'm not his brother." Li Zaixing interrupted Pi Erding: "I just snatched Pingkangfang from him yesterday."
Pi Erding took a breath of air conditioning: "You snatched Pingkangfang from Zhang Wan?"
"Isn't it possible?" Li Zaixing glanced at him: "I also drank with Xie Guanglong once and heard some stories about Chang'an Rangers. I want to know which wealthy family is behind you."
When Pi Erding heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a slutty face: "Wei Sanlang, have you heard of it?"
"Who?" Li Zaixing was stunned.
When Pi Erding saw Li Zaixing's shocked look, he became even more proud, and his eyebrows were almost flying into the sky. He raised his thumb and tilted his mouth: "Wei Sanlang, Wei Du, Wei Du, go to the Wei family in Tianchi Wu, have you heard of it?"
Li Zaixing spent a lot of effort to not spew out the tea in his mouth. No wonder Wei Yingwu is so rich. It turns out that this kid actually dominated the Feng Shui treasure land in Xishi. This time he has to knock him on.
"Wei Sanlang." Li Zaixing nodded: "He actually indulged the Hu Shang to buy good people, and he is really brave. Should you go find Wei Sanlang by yourself, or ask me to beat him and then go find him?"
Pi Erding was stunned. He didn't expect that the name of Wei Yingwu could not scare Li Zaixing. Li Zaixing actually wanted to talk to Wei Yingwu in person, and felt relieved.
"You... know Wei Sanlang?"
"Of course, I had a fight with him outside the city as soon as I arrived in Chang'an. Last night, Qu Yang's family celebrated the new Jinshi at Pingkangfang and drank together again. I thought I didn't have to look at his bad face again today, but I still couldn't escape. Alas, it's not that enemies don't get together."
Before Li Zaixing finished speaking, Pi Erding's face turned pale. As the person in charge of the West City, he was also a figure under Wei Yingwu's men, so he naturally knew that Wei Yingwu had fought with people outside the city the day before yesterday. He never expected that he would see this fierce man who was more cruel than Wei Yingwu so soon, and killed three followers Wei Yingwu in one breath.
