The original name of West Market has long been abandoned. Since Emperor Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang, the original eastern capital, barbarians gradually gathered here. Originally, they only sold some rare products from the Western Regions, such as pepper, camel glass and other products. However, this thousands of miles away
The goods that came from afar were far less than the profits from human trafficking, so the cunning Sogdians no longer participated in the extraordinary sales of goods among the food merchants, and instead went to sell some goods from the Western Regions and even the Far West.
Male and female slaves from Johor (that is, Rome) and other places were sold.
It's just that in the urine book of Luoyang Mansion, Xishi does not exist, there is only Xishifang.
Since it is a square, the West City does not have the Shibo Division used by the North and South City to manage it. Instead, there is a square.
Fang Zheng from the West City is a middle-aged man named Cui. A long scar cuts from the corner of his eyebrow to the bridge of his nose and almost reaches the corner of his mouth.
The West Market is rich, and the guests who come and go are either rich or noble.
Even if it was a large food merchant who came with a long camel team, if there was no note signed by a high-ranking official in the DPRK behind him, he would have been delivered to the tooth shop with a backend in the West Market, along with the goods.
, even the people and goods were eaten without any bones left.
Therefore, Fangzheng in Xishi is actually a Qingshui yamen with little business. Although when walking on the road, all the shopkeepers of big banks will nod and say hello when they see it, but it is two cents a pig's head, and only face is worthless.
The bosses behind several major tooth shops and restaurants are either Li or Wu. Even a seemingly inconspicuous sesame oil shop on Xishikou is said to be owned by a person from the Cui family in Qinghe.
At this time, Fang Zheng from the West Market was bragging with the boss in the sesame oil shop.
"Cousin, otherwise you go back and admit your mistake to me. It's better to pick up a shop from home instead of just eating and drinking here all day long."
The person who spoke was the owner of the sesame oil shop, and he seemed to be somewhat related to that shop.
"You know what the heck, I've been through countless battles in my life, even the Turk's knife, click, cut off my forehead without even blinking. Let me admit my mistake to an old bastard who sold his wife.
?I would rather die under the sword of that Turk."
Na Fangzheng spoke in a very vulgar manner, and his eyelids, which were torn open by the scar, rolled back as he spoke. If any children were passing by, they would be frightened and cry.
"Okay, okay, I know that cousin you are very brave, but cousin, I already have three children at my feet. Cousin, if you look like this, you have no appearance, no money, no money, when will you have a queen?"
"Sigh, you know nothing. I also have a wife."
"Cousin, my sister-in-law must have been dead for ten years."
"Don't worry about it, I also have a wife."
While Cui Fangzheng was scolding the shopkeeper of the sesame oil shop who called him cousin, he took a bowl of sesame juice, sprinkled some fine salt on it, mixed some fried noodles and boiling water, and made a slurping sound while eating.
A bad guy in soap clothes hurried in, interrupted the two brothers' conversation, lowered his head and said something in Cui Fangzheng's ear.
"Let's go and have a look." The scar-faced Cui Fang was throwing the bowls and chopsticks in his hands on the counter, "Don't let me collect them. I'll come back to eat later." After that, he hurried out the door.
Already.
"Hey, eating for nothing again?!"
Ignoring his cousin's wry smile, Cui Fangzheng hurried to the front of the earth temple that was also a workshop supervisor, market maker, and his family.
A fat man in a brocade robe led a young man also in a brocade robe, a little maid and a little yellow-haired lolita. The horse led by the little yellow-haired lolita was a beautiful dark cloud covered snow.
In Luoyang, the capital of the gods, ever since King Linzi brought a yellow-haired girl as his entourage all day long and it became a sight on the streets, many young men followed suit and spent a lot of money to buy some yellow hair from those Sogdians who eat people without spitting out their bones.
maidservant.
However, coupled with the increasing handsomeness, only the King of Linzi, who was awarded the Jinshi at the age of thirteen, has such an appearance in the capital.
"My dear Cui Chenggui, I have met His Royal Highness the King of Linzi and Mr. Di."
Cui Fangzheng has been walking in the West Market for a long time. How could he not recognize the former prime minister? He just felt a little strange in his heart. They said that the King of Linzi was very close to the female prime minister Shangguan Neishi. How come he also had a lot of interactions with the former prime minister?
Close look?
Li Chongrun returned the salute solemnly, and when he saw him standing up, he asked: "Cui Fangzheng, I have something that I would like to ask. I wonder if it is convenient for Cui Fangzheng."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. Please call me Fangyuan. Your Majesty, please call me Fangyuan."
Hearing that this popular prince wanted to ask him a question, but did not say it directly, Cui Fangzheng knew that this matter should not be known to outsiders, but there were some people on his side who were talking too much. After thinking about it for a while, he simply took it with him.
Li Chongrun went to the sesame oil shop.
"Cousin, it's confiscated. It's still hot. Eat it quickly." Seeing Cui Fang leaving and returning, the shopkeeper of the sesame oil shop hurriedly greeted him.
"This is His Royal Highness the King of Linzi, why don't you hurry up and greet me."
"I have met the Prince of Linzi. Your Majesty, the sesame oil in our store is freshly squeezed from the sesame seeds specially shipped from Yicheng. It is the most fragrant and smooth. I sent someone to deliver two cans to the Prince's house. I hope the Prince will not refuse."
.”
"Go, go, my prince and I have important matters to discuss, so why don't you get out of here right now."
The manager was kicked out by Cui Fangzheng, leaving several bad guys waiting outside. He carefully closed the door, and after checking carefully to make sure no one was hiding, Na Fangzheng followed him again.
Li Chongrun greeted him and said: "Cui Chenggui, the inspector general of the small Jiamen Gyeonggi Province, has met the chief inspector."
After saying that, he gestured with his right hand and stretched it straight to his left chest, performing a very strange etiquette.
Li Chongrun was a little surprised when he saw this. It turned out that this person was one of his own.
"Cui Fangzheng looked at his military background and turned out to be a scholar."
The Jia Zi Sect was a figure recruited by Chen Ziang from scholars and classmates, all of whom were scholars. I wonder if this rough guy like Cui Chenggui is related to Chen Ziang.
The Gyeonggi Province Inspector sounds a bit scary. In fact, although Li Chongyun has developed some people in recent years, there are still only a few dozen people, all of whom are stationed in Gyeonggi Province, Henan Province and Hadong Province.
Moreover, he allowed the development of the subordinates given by the five princesses, and he never interfered or arranged any tasks. He only explained the joint gestures and did not arrange any specific affairs. He just asked them to try their best to develop.
Strength is good.
"Before he joined the army in a humble position, he was a student of the Imperial College, and he was at the same time as Mr. Chen. However, Mr. Chen was a Jinshi, and in his humble position he was not very talented and learned a lot. He did not even pass Ming Jing Ke."
Cui Chenggui's words were full of vicissitudes. He seemed to have a lot of stories, but his expression seemed like he didn't want to tell them clearly. There were no outsiders here, and even his titles were changed to terms used by his subordinates.
"I came here today to check on someone. I wonder if Cui Fangzheng knows him. This person's surname is Chen. He is a thin old man. He used to work as a toothsmith at Lifa Tooth Shop."
"This person has an impression of being a humble person. This old man is very slippery, but he has some tricks, and his business is pretty good."
"Have you seen him lately."
"It sounds like we haven't seen each other for a while." Cui Chenggui seemed to have thought of something, "Old Chen's home is in the West Market, why don't you humble yourself and take your Highness down to have a look?"
