Madam Yan smiled and said, "I am from Zhendu. I wonder if Mr. Ning has ever heard of it. Shendu is in the southwest of Zhao State."
Poison?
Zhao Jin was stunned.
Isn't it India?
Because during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Chinese pronunciation of India was similar to the word "Shen Du", so except for those who believed in Buddhism, people at that time called India Tianzhu, and everyone else called it Shen Du.
Zhao Jin asked tentatively: "Is that lady a Brahmin or a Kshatriya?"
Ancient India attached great importance to the caste system, and only Brahmins and Kshatriyas could be called nobles.
Madam Yan's eyes widened slightly, making her eyes look big and clear, "Mr. Ning, have you been to my country?"
Even a businessman who has been dealing with poisonous people for many years may not necessarily know about Brahmins and Kshatriyas, let alone be able to guess her origin so accurately.
"Not really," Zhao Jin shook his head, knowing clearly that he was right.
"I just read about it in books."
Mrs. Yan suddenly realized it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Master Ning must be a group of books to see the records of my country."
"I am a Kshatriya by birth."
"But why did Madam come to Zhao country?"
Kshatriyas are royal nobles and there is no way they can come to Zhao to do business.
Mrs. Yan's eyes were a little dim, "There was a Sudra rebellion at that time. I was taken as a hostage and tied onto a ship. Later, I fell into the sea and was rescued by a merchant ship."
Just from this short sentence, Zhao Jin could already tell how dangerous and tortuous the situation was at that time.
"If you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later." Zhao Jin consoled him.
The smile returned to Mrs. Yan's face, "Mr. Ning is right, meeting Mr. Yan is the happiest thing in my life."
Being caught off guard and stuffed with a handful of dog food, Zhao Jin missed Chu Weiqing a little.
Suddenly, Zhao Jin turned his head and looked behind him.
A government guard was walking towards this side. Seeing that Zhao Jin had seen him, he quickened his pace.
"Madam, Mr. Ning!"
"Lin Er? But what's the matter, sir?" Madam Yan recognized the other party as a confidant who often followed Yan Zheng.
After the Yamen Wei bowed to the two of them, he said to Zhao Jin: "Master Ning, Master Ning is back. Please come over, Master Ning."
"Then go quickly. It's rare to meet someone who understands body poisoning. If you have time, we can talk next time." Mrs. Yan said goodbye to Zhao Jin with a smile.
Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, "Okay."
At this moment, Zhao Jin was able to see that the other party was different from the Zhao women.
Not as reserved as the women from Zhao country.
It seems that although Shendu has the same caste system as in Chinese history, its attitude towards women is different.
"Mr. Ning, don't be offended. Madam, she may not be very clear about our etiquette." The Yamen Guard explained with some embarrassment.
What Mrs. Cai said just now means that they know her character well and have no other meaning. But to people who don't know her well, it is simply a blatant temptation.
Zhao Jin didn't know that the Yamen Guard had thought of such a serious matter, and waved his hand, "It's okay, their country should be more open than ours."
Open? The Yamen Guard scratched his hair, what does this mean?
He quietly looked at Zhao Jin for a few times and saw that there was no strange color on his face. He was sure that Zhao Jin did not take this matter to heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, no matter what he means, as long as Mr. Ning didn't misunderstand.
Before Zhao Jin reached the entrance of the lobby, he saw Yan Zheng approaching from a distance.
"Master Ning."
When the Yamen Guards saw this, they were secretly frightened. What is the background of Mr. Ning?
No, you have to ask Mei Ru to remind you in time in the future. If you offend accidentally and the adults blame you, that will be troublesome.
"Sir Yan." In order to be realistic and avoid arousing suspicion, Zhao Jin bowed solemnly.
Yan Zheng's fingers trembled and he almost wanted to bend down and salute Zhao Jin. Fortunately, he controlled it in time.
"Master Ning is so polite."
Yan Zheng's gaze fell on the Yamen Guard, and he sank a little, "You go down first."
"Sir Yan, let's talk inside." Zhao Jin stretched out his palm, palm upward, slightly tilted towards the direction of the lobby.
Yan Zheng came back to his senses and patted his head, "I forgot about it, my official."
After the two arrived at the lobby, all the government guards in the lobby had been ordered out.
"My subordinates have already secretly investigated the Wei family's matter."
Yan Zheng's face was not very good, "There are indeed some problems within the Wei family. The person you met yesterday was a steward of the Wei family who is responsible for freight."
"Some people, relying on the power of the Wei family, are quite complacent outside. The official has already told the head of the Wei family about this and asked him to put things in order."
Zhao Jin nodded and asked, "Where is the steward?"
"The lower officials have arrested him and sentenced him according to law."
Zhao Jin glanced at Yan Zheng. If there was no problem with his character, he was indeed a malleable talent.
This matter was handled in an orderly manner. He not only arrested the person in accordance with the law and convinced everyone, but also knew how to act appropriately. He did not take advantage of the situation and interfere in the affairs of the Wei family just because the Wei family offended his immediate superiors.
It is undoubtedly the best for the Wei family to rectify it, and no matter how easy it is for the government office to take care of it.
Yan Zheng stood nearby, waiting for Zhao Jin to speak with some anxiety.
Although Zhao Jin is much younger than him, his aura is completely overwhelming.
Yan Zheng even had some doubts, was Zhao Jin really not favored when he was in Prince Liang's Mansion?
An unpopular prince still occupies the position of the eldest prince. He has been bullied in Prince Liang's palace since he was a child. Even if he did not develop a timid and cowardly character, his personality should be somewhat gloomy.
But this one...
Yan Zheng took a look at Zhao Jin's bright eyebrows. Although his aura was strong, it had nothing to do with gloom.
"It was handled well." After leaving the person alone for a while, Zhao Jin said slowly.
When he looked up, he saw the other person breathing a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jin leaned on the chair, put his hands in front of his abdomen, and raised his chin slightly, "Call the Cao family and the Wei family to discuss the matter of the merchant ship. After resolving the matter as soon as possible, I have to return to Yunzhou City."
Although Ning Ce and others were guarding him, Zhao Jin still felt uneasy.
In the Taoist temple on the west side of the city, there are still a group of Taoist priests who are developing explosives.
He suppressed the news that the Riliang Mountain spies had been captured. People from Beili would come to contact them at some point and find out the clues.
Zhao Jin cannot leave Yunzhou City for a long time now.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Before the heads of the Cao family and the Wei family came to the county office, Qin Heng and Seng Fan had already found out what Zhao Jin had ordered.
Because it's not too secretive, it's relatively quick to investigate.
When Zhao Jin saw the two of them, he found that their faces were not very good-looking.
But it's not that he's gloomy and ugly. To be precise, his expression is rather strange, as if he has discovered something unimaginable and strange.
"Why do you look like this?" Zhao Jin asked in a funny tone, "What did you find out?"
