Chapter 84 Mrs. Luo
Han Jian asked the guards to go back to the Dongwang Mansion to say hello to the sender and made an appointment with Mrs. Luo to meet in Qingxu Yashe. After more than half an hour, the messenger came over with a woman. The woman was not Mrs. Luo, but Daxi Liu in an ordinary plain dress with no makeup and powder.
"Hello, Master." When he saw Han Jian, Liu Tingting from the West greeted him.
Han Jian nodded slightly and agreed. The big Xiliu in front of him looked like a good woman. It was hard to tell from her current clothes that she was the famous singer in Xidu.
"Where is your godmother?" Han Jian asked directly without saying a word.
Daxiliu looked up at Han Jian, then looked at Sima Zhi standing beside Han Jian, and didn't just sit down.
"My godmother returned to Luoyang yesterday, but... she wanted to meet her alone with Your Highness."
Han Jian's face turned slightly dark and he said coldly: "Since Mrs. Luo takes the initiative to come and submit, then you should show absolute sincerity. She is like this now... but there is no sincerity. You go back and tell your godmother now that I will wait for her here. If she doesn't come before sunset and dusk, then there is no need to talk about anything. You can bear the consequences."
Daxi Liu nodded slightly, said nothing. He directly took his leave, and then hurriedly left Qingxu Yashe.
When Da Xiliu left Qingxu Yashe, Sima said disdainfully: "These people from Xiliang are not trustworthy. Let her leave like this?"
Han Jian smiled and said, "It's okay, Zhang Xing and the others are already following him. With the ability of Zhang Guard, she will not easily notice it."
Not long after, Zhang Xing, who was in charge of tracking, sent his guards back to report, saying that he had found Mrs. Luo's hiding place, which was in an ordinary shop, and that shop was not Mrs. Luo's property.
After a while, Zhang Xing came back in person to repay him. He said that he was sending someone to watch him. If Mrs. Luo wanted to escape, she would directly catch the person.
"It's not that serious. We are not bandits. We should leave the matter of catching people and robbing people to the yamen." Han Jian smiled when he heard this.
Zhang Xing smiled heartily and said, "Young Master, you are the best way to follow the tracking method. The woman is very alert and will look back from time to time. We changed people several times before we lost it."
Han Jian nodded. At this time, he had already discovered that there was a sedan at the door of Qingxu Yashe. He thought that Mrs. Luo had arrived, so he waved to ask Zhang Xing to retreat first.
Then, a woman who looked in her thirties and dressed in ordinary clothes but could not hide her graceful and luxurious walked upstairs accompanied by Daxiliu.
This woman's appearance is not very beautiful, but she is very demeanor, and her face shows a bit of businessman's shrewdness and caution. She held a bag in her hand. After passing the stair railing on the second floor, she lowered her head and looked a little restrained, and walked up with a very light step. After seeing Han Jian's appearance clearly, she looked a little surprised because she was not unfamiliar with this face.
When she escaped from Luoyang City, she met Han Jian and Yang Xun'er in the south of Luoyang City.
Han Jian was still sitting upright as usual and did not get up to greet him. Sima Yi stood up and looked at the bag on the woman's hand vigilantly.
When Han Jian saw Mrs. Luo's face, he frowned slightly. When he saw two carriages outside Luoyang City that day, he felt that the things on the carriage were not simple, and a few boxes could cause such deep ruts. He thought it might be gold, silver and jewelry.
Who would hurriedly leave Luoyang with a truck of gold and silver?
Han Jian sighed in his heart, but he was still not careful in thinking, so he almost let the woman escape under his nose.
"The civilian woman Luo Zhen has met His Highness the Eastern King." The woman bowed and said.
"Madam Luo?" Han Jian asked with a frown.
"It's the private woman."
Han Jian made a gesture of asking for a seat and said, "Madam Luo, please sit."
"How dare the civilians sit with His Highness the King of the East?" Mrs. Luo handed over the bag on the table, but did not open it.
"Mrs. Luo, you are..."
Mrs. Luo said: "When you go back to your highness, there are the deeds of all the land and shops under the name of the civilian woman and the case in the government. In addition, there are some large amounts of silver notes. Please check His Highness Dongwang."
After Mrs. Luo said, Daxi Liu, who was standing beside her, stepped forward to open the bag and revealed the things inside. As Mrs. Luo said, they were all very valuable things, which may be Mrs. Luo's property. But Han Jian didn't know that among these, the bag did not include the batch of property transported out of the city by Mrs. Luo that day.
Han Jian had thought that Mrs. Luo was not sincere enough to surrender, but she didn't expect that she could bring such a big meeting gift.
Sima Jie stepped forward to check and looked through it. Han Jian roughly estimated that the meeting gift was worth at least 100,000 taels, which was enough to build a Taoist tower in Shangqing Palace.
"Madam Luo, please take it back. These are not what I want." Han Jian said coldly.
"Your Highness the Eastern King is not too young?" Da Xiliu asked hurriedly.
Han Jian did not comment. Da Xiliu said this, which means that Mrs. Luo had other industries that had not been "received". Mrs. Luo glanced at Da Xiliu and said to Han Jian: "There are still some heavy gold, silver and jade wares in the civilian women, and I will turn back and let you transport them over."
Han Jian was silent for a moment. When he didn't say anything, Mrs. Luo seemed a little nervous. She took great risks when she returned to Luoyang City. When she learned from Daxiliu that she was from Xiliang, she had no time to think about it in panic and quickly transported her wealth out of the city to the Southern Qi. But she realized that she was a stubborn Qi Dynasty in the road. Even if she reached the Qi Dynasty in the south and made a comeback, she could not help the old Xiliang people in the north. After all, the old Xiliang area is now under the rule of the Wei Dynasty, and the people of the old Xiliang area are also secretly active in the Wei Dynasty. Even if she earned money or someone had the power, she would be out of reach. Later, she heard that the property in the capital had not been confiscated by the government, so she gritted her teeth and returned to Luoyang City to take the initiative to surrender to Han Jian.
"Madam Luo, it seems that it is not the first time we have met." Han Jian suddenly said after he was silent.
The long silence was interrupted.
Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes. The civilian woman had met Your Highness in the south of Luoyang City, and there was a woman. Your Highness had helped him righteously at that time..."
Han Jian sighed, "I didn't expect that you were Mrs. Luo at that time. We are quite destined to be. Today, I will say that in terms of industry, the industries under my Dongwang Mansion are several times more than those in Mrs. Luo. I don't like you in this little gift."
Mrs. Luo was in a dilemma at the moment. Although she had guessed before that Han Jian asked her to surrender not to be greedy for her property and wealth, she couldn't understand. The East King had to go against the West King and the court?
"Your Highness... what do you think of?" Mrs. Luo asked, and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that the King of Dong "does not love the country and the beauty" and wants to take her for himself?
Han Jian didn't answer her and asked directly: "How many people do you old Xiliang subordinates have?"
