Following Wang Ning'an's order, the government officials followed him, led by Xu Shi, to the gathering place of Hu merchants.

The West Market was the gathering place for Hu merchants. For the sake of safety, the imperial court specially allocated a piece of land for businessmen from all over the world to live and do business. It was called Neihu, in the northwest corner of the West Market.

The entire West Market is like a nine-palace layout, divided into nine rectangles, 1,031 meters long from north to south, 927 meters wide from east to west, with an area of ​​more than 1,600 acres and a construction area of ​​1 million square meters.

There was a reason why the imperial court placed Hu Shang in the northwest corner. It was far away from the city gate and far away from Honglu Temple, so it was more convenient for the two parties to negotiate.

The conflict this time was between the Hu merchants, the Persian caravan and the Dashi caravan. The two had nothing to do with each other, but their countries were hostile.

Wang Ning'an learned from the history books that Persia was wiped out by the Great Eclipse. Now the snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit. If he didn't take advantage of it, he would have come to this era in vain.

Hu merchants from various countries saw Wang Ning'an and the twenty-odd government officials behind him, and couldn't help but look over curiously, especially the leaders of the caravans from various countries who came over to say hello.

"Sir, how can I help you?" Hu Shang greeted Wang Ning'an in fluent Guanzhong dialect.

Wang Ning'an said: "I'm here today because of the conflict that happened here two days ago. Where are the caravans from the Dashi Kingdom and the Persian Kingdom? Come forward."

Soon two Hu businessmen came out and saluted Fang Zheng.

"Perus, Prince of Persia, has met your lord."

"The Caliph, the envoy of the Kingdom of Great Food, has met your lord."

Wang Ning'an looked at Belus and was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the other party was still a prince. It seemed that the situation in Persia was not very good, otherwise there would be no need to send a prince here.

Looking at the Caliphate again, it seems that the Great Food Kingdom has begun to rise and attack Persia.

Wang Ning'an said calmly: "I heard that you two had a conflict yesterday."

Belus immediately said: "Yes, sir. It's all the fault of the envoys from the Great Food Country. They actually stole the gift we were going to give to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, so we had a conflict with them."

"What, you dare to rob our Majesty's gift? Caliph, you are eating up the country. This shows that you don't take our Tang Dynasty seriously. Someone comes and takes him down." Wang Ning'an shouted angrily.

"Yes, sir."

Immediately two government officials arrested the Caliph.

The Caliph did not dare to resist, but he shouted that he was wronged and said: "My lord, I am wronged. We did not steal their gifts, but they injured our people."

"Why not? The most beautiful girl in Persia I found from Persia. I wanted to donate it to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. You snatched it from me the day before yesterday. We went to you to investigate, but you beat her back. If it weren't for Mr. Wei

Come forward and I will definitely start a war with you."

"If a war starts, let's start a war. I, the country of Great Food, are afraid that you will

Sri Lanka. I tell you, our people cannot be beaten in vain."

"Shut up."

Wang Ning'an shouted loudly, he didn't want to hear them say meaningless things in front of a large crowd and then be surrounded by people.

"Xu Lushi, take all of them and their goods away. Anyone who dares to resist is provoking me, the Tang Dynasty. The face of the Tang Dynasty cannot be lost."

"Yes, sir."

Xu Shi responded, then waved his hand and asked the people below to take away the goods of the two countries, and also took away the Caliph and Belus.

As for the guards of the two countries, they didn't dare to take action if they wanted to. They all looked at their master.

Both the Caliph and Belus shook their heads and told their men not to act rashly.

Belus said: "Sir, I have something to say to you alone. I don't know if it's okay."

"I also have something to say to the adults alone," the Caliph said.

Wang Ning'an felt happy and said to herself: "What I want is to talk alone." But she said: "I'm afraid this is inconvenient, right?"

"There is nothing inconvenient," the Caliph and Beluz said at the same time.

Wang Ning'an nodded and said, "Okay then, Xu Lushi will wait for us outside."

"yes."

We arrived at a relatively luxurious tent. Because merchants from all over the world liked to use tents, the imperial court arranged many tents for them to use in Neihu.

Wang Ning'an said: "Tell me, you two want to meet alone. What do you want to say?"

Belus said: "Sir, can you please not detain my goods? I will go back after meeting His Majesty the Tang Dynasty in two days."

"Me too, please let me go to eat the country." The Caliph said.

Wang Ning'an shook his head and said: "In order to maintain public security in Neihu and for the sake of Xishi, it is impossible to let you go. Let's talk about other things, such as the relationship between your two countries. Do you need Datang's help?"

"Sir, can you really ask the court to help our country of Persia?" Belus asked.

"Sir, the Tang Dynasty is a powerful country and is respected by us. It should remain neutral and not help any of us." The Caliph said immediately, he was worried that the Tang Dynasty would help Persia.

He knew how powerful the Tang Dynasty was. Once the Tang Dynasty gave Persia help, they would definitely not be able to compete with each other. This was something he absolutely did not want to see.

Wang Ning'an said: "I just said it casually. In fact, there are some things I don't want to say in front of you two. I am at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Now I will take away all your goods. If you want to get your goods back, just

Come to the Office of Civil Affairs and see me. But I’m off duty today and I’m not free.”

Belus immediately said: "Please help me take care of my goods."

"Please also take care of my goods." The Caliph followed.

Although they don't know what kind of medicine Wang Ning'an sells in his gourd, one thing is certain.

To give them a chance to interview him.

After Wang Ning'an walked out of the tent, he said to everyone: "Come here, take all their goods away."

"Yes, sir." Xu Shi responded in surprise.

He thought that after the face-to-face talks, everyone should get some benefits and leave. Who knew that after the talks, they would take away other people's goods.

Not only is Xu Shi strange, but everyone is also strange.

What surprised them even more was what happened later. Belus and the Caliph were very respectful to Wang Ning'an and were deeply afraid that Wang Ning'an would be unhappy.

On the way, Xu Shi said very puzzledly: "Sir, why would they willingly hand over the goods to us? Shouldn't they go to Honglu Temple to argue?"

Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "This is the difference. Although Honglu Temple has a higher official position than us, it does not do as well as us. Take it away if you want, why bother looking at their faces. Remember, this is the Tang Dynasty, so what if we beat them?

, the entire Tang Dynasty is our backer, not to mention that I just want their things."

"But these are all tributes and must be given to His Majesty." Xu Shi said worriedly.

"Isn't it still for His Majesty? Then it's not His Majesty's. As for the gift, believe me, they have a way to prepare one."

"What should we do now?"

"Send all the goods to my mansion. I want to inspect their goods to see if there is anything I want."

"yes."

Wang Ning'an had no idea that not long after he left, Honglu Temple also sent someone to notify Belus and the Caliph to meet Li Er.

Originally there was no meeting so soon, but a conflict broke out between the two countries. Officials from Honglu Temple studied it and felt that Datang should not get involved. Datang should become a neutral country, a country that everyone respects, and that makes everyone feel that Great Tang should not get involved.

The Tang Dynasty was a civilized and notarized country of etiquette.

So I plan to let the emperor see the two of them as soon as possible and send them to leave Datang as soon as possible. Even if they want to fight, they will fight outside Datang. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with Datang. Datang is too lazy to meddle in your business.

But when the Honglu Temple official learned that Wang Ning'an of the Peacekeeping Administration had withheld the tribute goods from the two countries, the matter suddenly became a bit big.

He immediately went back to report to Zhang Qian, the minister of Honglu Temple. After he learned the news, he immediately sent someone to find Wang Ning'an at the Office of Peace and Security, but there was no trace of Wang Ning'an anywhere. After asking, after knowing where his home was, he immediately

Go find Wang Ning'an.

After Wang Ning'an arrived home with the goods, Wang Cheng and Wang Zhong walked over together. Behind Wang Zhong was a burly man from Simin.

"Young man, why did you buy so many things? What's there?" Wang Cheng asked curiously.

"Don't move, this is not mine. Instruct a few people to take care of it. If anything is lost, just beat it to death with sticks." Wang Ning'an said.
