From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1201

Pi Lengzi led hundreds of people and surrounded the entire kiln in a hurry, with bows, crossbows and muskets. No one dared to resist.

But after gathering everyone and searching everywhere, they didn't find Zhang Fei, nor did they find other members of the Shenque that he knew.

Instead, Han businessman Li Sancai came to his own kiln with a gloomy face.

He clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, what has our kiln done wrong? Why are you mobilizing so many people and running over to kill people?"

Pi Lengzi looked at him and squinted his eyes and said, "Don't pretend to be confused. How many people did the Shenque hide in your kiln? Tell me the truth, and I can spare your life."

Li Sancai frowned and said, "Shenque? What? I don't understand."

"My workers here are Han people and people of other ethnic groups. They all have clear origins and have been reported to the government. They have identity records and portraits."

"You are a big shot. If you want to kill me, As a businessman, I can only admit it. "

"But I can't guarantee the porcelain that the Khan ordered in the middle of the year."

"I am an honest businessman. In recent years, I have also made a lot of good things for the Khan and the royal family. I dare say that in the entire Western Regions, except for my Li family kiln, no one can make this level of fine porcelain."

"If you really want to kill me, do it."

"If you want to slander me, I must confront you clearly in front of His Majesty the Khan!"

Hearing this, Pi Lengzi was furious.

He looked at Alim and shouted: "It's still an insider! He notified us here before us! This is a chain reaction! This is a step slower! Every step is slower!"

Alim also gritted his teeth and didn't speak. He was very angry. If he caught this group of people, his father would definitely favor him more.

But now... now he can't find anyone and there is no evidence. He must not touch Li Sancai.

"All the nobles in the Western Regions use his porcelain... My father likes him very much and even received him during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year."

Alim lowered his voice and sighed, "Although Li Sancai is a businessman,... we can't just kill him."

Pi Lengzi took a deep breath and said, "What's the point of killing him? I'm just venting my anger. I'm not that out of control."

"Let's go!"

He could only grit his teeth and leave with his men.

…

“We Shenque have always had our own contact information.”

“Every time we arrive at a place, we will set a meeting point in advance and complete identity identification through pre-booked signs such as codes and decorations.”

“This is fluctuating, changing, and uncertain.”

“For example, in Fuzhou Prefecture, we ordered four drunken crabs at the most popular teahouse in the area, but we added a bowl of chili.”

“In this Western Region, we ordered… ten antiques at the largest antique shop in the area for one or two taels of silver.”

At this point, Guan Lu laughed and said, “Fortunately, the time was just staggered, so the two people who disguised themselves into the city could contact Zhang Fei.”

“Look, isn’t that someone coming?”

Zhou Yuan and others looked forward and saw more than ten carriages coming slowly, and the one leading the way was Zhang Fei.

He approached with the carriage, then quickly jumped off, half-knelt down, and clasped his fists and said: "Greetings, my lord!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't be polite, it's not advisable to stay for long, let's go."

After getting on the carriage, Zhang Fei began to report.

"It's very safe. That group of people are now going to the kiln to catch us. There is a high probability that they will come back empty-handed."

"Our caravan is another Han merchant's caravan, specializing in the silk business. It has a wide range of connections and is directly exempt from inspection."

"We will stay in the silk processing workshop here tonight. The place is very spacious and there are a large number of workers. Living separately, safety is not a problem."

"The Han merchants here, especially the big Han merchants, are the most eager for the Western Regions to be recovered, because they are Han people, who have been exploited too severely by Yarkand, are in a foreign country, have no security, and are constrained everywhere."

"If the Western Regions are recovered and returned to the Great Jin, their future will be It's much easier to walk."

"For personal national and economic interests, they will stand on our side."

Zhou Yuan said directly: "You brought more than 60 people, one of whom is called Pi Lengzi? From Sichuan?"

Zhang Fei's face became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I have controlled him. It is my responsibility for this kind of thing. Please punish me, my lord."

Zhou Yuan said: "After entering the city, take me to see him immediately. I want to interrogate him personally."

"Yes..."

The convoy quickly entered the city and came to a remote silk processing workshop. Zhou Yuan also saw the tightly tied "real Pi Lengzi".

Seeing Zhou Yuan, Pi Lengzi had already knelt down, and said with tears and snot: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life, I was wrong, I was fooled!"

Zhou Yuan"What's that man's name? How did he get close to you?"

Pi Lengzi cried, "He said his name is Hu Biao, he's from Huguang, and he's been in the Western Regions for more than ten years."

"I was gathering intelligence and met him in the inn. He was listening to storytelling at the time, so I took the initiative to get closer to him to get more information, and we started chatting."

"As a result, this bastard, he was so fucking smart that I couldn't stand it. I was inexplicably tricked into a lot of things."

Zhou Yuan said coldly, "Bullshit! You are also an old man of the Shenque, it's impossible for you to be easily tricked into so many things! What are you hiding!"

Pi Lengzi lowered his head, She cried, "That kid is so smart. He called me to his room to drink. I thought I could get more information and it's a good thing to make friends, so I followed him."

"He called two maids to accompany him... They were both beautiful teenage girls with curly hair and big blue eyes. They were really pretty..."

"I really couldn't stand it... I drank too much..."

Zhou Yuan was furious: "You have never seen a woman before! Two teenage girls of different races took you hostage!"

"Come and take me hostage if you can! I'm not afraid of these !”

Pi Lengzi cried, “Prince, spare me, I have never even touched my sister’s hand since I was a child…the two of them…were very proactive, touching my face, my hands, and even reaching into my crotch.”

“I…I…my ancestors, how could I bear it! To be honest, my legs are shaking and my head is dizzy.”

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, “Keep an eye on him! After this is over! Let him go back to farming! Shenque is not suitable for him!”

“If you can’t even stand the beauty trap! Don’t do this!”

“In our line of work, we need willpower!”

Pi Lengzi said bitterly: "Your Highness, I have a strong will. I am not afraid of being beaten or chopped. I will not say a word even if my eyes are dug out. The key is this beauty trap. This level is really not easy to pass..."

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhang Fei and said: "If he dares to say such things again, I will let him go to the dry road."

Zhang Fei was startled, and then kicked Pi Lengzi to the ground with one foot, and yelled: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of Your Highness! Come! Slap him in the face twenty times! Let him remember it!"

Then he looked at Zhou Yuan with sweat on his face and whispered: "My Lord... that... spare my ass..."
