"Brother Ami, you haven't been in Chang'an all these years, I really want to kill you!"

Small's voice was impassioned and enthusiastic.

But compared to the past, he rushed up to hug him at every turn, and he was already much more restrained.

Su Dawei smiled faintly: "I heard that you have been to the Western Regions for almost three years, how have you seen and heard along the way?" Is business still going well? ”

Long before Su Dawei went to the Liaodong Peninsula, Small's caravan had to temporarily avoid the limelight because it was involved in the Turkic wolf guard's sneak attack on Chang'an.

Su Dawei handled it impartially, but also relaxed a little, but only fined Small a sum of money.

This made the money-loving Smaller painful.

But he also understands that if Su Dawei is not in charge of this case, he is afraid that if it is not as simple as peeling off the skin, it is likely that he will not even be able to save his life.

In any case, before the turmoil passed, Small could no longer be as frequent in Chang'an as before.

The business of whale oil lamps also plummeted.

As a last resort, he consulted Su Dawei, but the latter asked him to return to the Western Regions to find rare things and sell them back to the Tang Dynasty.

With Su Dawei's words, the desperate Smoer gritted his teeth and did it.

That's three years.

Small looked Su Dawei up and down, his eyes flashing with both surprise and envy.

"My Ami brother, I haven't seen you in the past few years, and your appearance has hardly changed, no...... No, it's still a little different, it's just that the demeanor seems to be more calm than before, and if you don't laugh now, I'm a little scared in my heart. ”

"Less, have you done something wrong?"

"No, I swear to the true God, absolutely not."

Su Dawei sensitively grasped the content of his words.

"Are you religious now?"

I remember that when I met Small in Chang'an before, although he was a Hu person, he did not believe in God, and he was an out-and-out businessman.

Hearing Su Dawei mention this, Smaller sighed, raised the wine glass in front of him and said, "You don't know? My Ami brother? This time I've gone farther, farther than any before? And guess what I encountered? ”

"Don't sell it."

Small licked his lips: "The Sassanid Empire is dead. ”

Su Dawei took a slight look? He knew about the Sassanid Persian Empire.

It replaced the Sabbatical Empire, considered one of the two great powers in West Asia and Europe, and coexisted with the Roman Empire for more than 400 years.

Its borders included Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, the Caucasus, southwestern Central Asia, parts of Turkey, parts of the Arabian Peninsula coast, the Persian Gulf, and southwestern Pakistan.

But in what year did Sasanid die? Su Dawei didn't know very well.

It's too far away from Datang.

"I also went there this time to find out that Sasanian is dead? Died more than 10 years ago. "Small brought this up? There was a faint trace of sadness on the face of the philistine: "The empire that was once so powerful is gone." ”

"Small, you don't come here, how can a person like you have any concept of family and country? If you can make money? You can even betray the rope that breaks your neck. ”

"Hey, it's Brother Ami who knows me best, speaking of which, I've really encountered several dangers this time, and I almost can't come back to see you alive."

Speaking of which? Small's eyes flashed with fear, and he looked happy for the rest of his life: "It's still Datang?" There is still some chaos in the Western Regions, and human life is not worth anything. ”

Su Dawei glanced at him? I guessed in my heart if this product was because he was too self-indulgent in business and offended some powerful people over there.

But since Small didn't mention it? He didn't ask much.

"Replacing the Sassanid Empire? It's a big eat, right? ”

"How do you know?!"

Small looked horrified.

This time it was really shocking.

The war between Sassanid and the Great Eclipse? Although it has lasted for many years, the Tang Dynasty is too far away, and those things are like listening to books from heaven to the Tang people.

In the past, the officials of the city bureau in West City, including the officials of the Tang Honglu Temple, did not know about the situation there.

But Su Dawei can say it casually.

It's like seeing it with your own eyes.

Small couldn't see through Su Dawei, he lowered his voice slightly, and asked tentatively: "Brother Ami, have you been to Sasanian?" ”

"No, I can only go as far as the border of Tocharo, when I was chasing the Western Turkic Khan a few years ago."

"By the way, you probably believe in the Great Cannibal Sect, right?"

"Don't say that, don't say this."

Small said with an embarrassed expression.

On his way to the Western Regions this time, he was kidnapped by the chief of a small state of Dashi, and he almost had his head cut off.

Later, Small gave the money in time and secretly bribed one of the other party's wives.

He also claimed to be the true god of the Great Food, and only then did he escape with his life.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, what rare things did you bring back when you returned to Chang'an this time?"

Su Dawei said with a smile: "If you want to make money, Chang'an still has some face now, as long as the goods are good, I may be able to help you." ”

Speaking of this, Small's face became more and more embarrassed, and there was even a trace of embarrassment.

Su Dawei was surprised and said, "You won't even lose the goods, right?" ”

"Ahem, of course not, Brother Ami, let me tell you, I really have a treasure this time."

Small said, hiding his embarrassment by drinking, and then moved closer to Su Dawei, and said with a mysterious face: "Brother Ami, look at the camel team outside me." ”

The camel team is Small's, and the tiger will not fall.

Although the money was empty for this trip, the caravan still survived.

By the way, he also pulled some orchids and Kunlun slaves to Chang'an.

Su Dawei followed his gesture, looked out the window, and saw several orchids standing next to the camels.

They wore scarves over their faces, and their short and narrow skirts exposed their bare feet and lower abdomen.

A pair of big blue eyes are looking curiously here.

"Brother Ami, what do you think of these orchids? I spent a lot of money, do you want a wife? If you want it, I'll get 20% off, no, how about giving you 7% off? ”

Su Dawei almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

"No, I have a wife now."

"Huh?" Now, it was Small's turn to be dumbfounded.

Su Dawei didn't have the patience to talk anymore, he stood up: "I still have important things to do, I won't accompany you much today, if you have good goods, just go back and find Brother Tuesday, he will tell me." ”

"Yes."

Smaller was a little afraid of the current Su Dawei, and stood up with a smiling face.

I was about to say a few more words of flattery when I suddenly heard a camel bell ringing outside.

Turning his head, the caravan that remained outside seemed to be in a commotion.

In the distance, there was a faint shout.

Because the distance was too far, Small didn't hear clearly for a while, the gradually louder voice, shouting something.

But he noticed Su Dawei beside him, and his face changed slightly.

"Brother Ami, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"You take care of yourself first, and take your leave."

Su Dawei didn't say anything more, and walked out of the wine shop quickly.

On the streets of Chang'an, hundreds of young scholars were gathering together, shouting something in their mouths, and heading towards the palace gate.

Under the sun, Su Dawei's face was slightly dignified in the sun.

His lips moved slightly, and two words came out of his mouth: "Public opinion." ”

Since ancient times, the mouthpiece of public opinion has been in the hands of the family gatekeeper.

This is the scholar who began to borrow Chang'an Taixue to stir up public opinion?

How will Li Zhi react?

Wu Meiniang, can you survive this crisis?

What's next?

……

"Siqing."

A secret agent of Ducha Temple walked up cautiously, and after making sure that there was no one on the left and right, he pulled out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and presented it to Su Dawei with both hands.

He is now outside the Dali Temple, and there are many officials coming and going here, but no one notices the situation here.

Su Dawei took it quietly: "What is Gao Dalong doing now?" ”

"Siqing, he is investigating the matter of Princess Gaoyang, and according to your previous explanation, he went to Laojunguan."

"In a few days, Your Majesty should send a new temple secretary, you don't need to call me Temple Qing anymore, I am now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"Ducha Temple was established by you, and I only recognize you."

The detective solemnly crossed his hands and saluted, took a few steps back, and quickly merged into the flow of people.

"You're a good men."

A voice rang out abruptly from the wall.

Su Dawei didn't seem surprised, and said without looking back: "You actually came to Chang'an at this time, and there are really some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods here." ”

In the canopy behind the wall, I faintly heard the woman's cheerful laughter, a slightly exotic voice: "I'll come back to see you in the evening." ”

Su Dawei shook his head slightly.

In the court, most of the five surnames and seven families in the gate valve heard the wind, and now they do not hesitate to encourage the students in Taixue to make trouble on the street, which is a dangerous move.

Inside the palace, however, there was an unusual silence.

Whether it is Li Zhi or Wu Meiniang, they have not spoken out for a long time.

But it shouldn't be silent for long.

Two days later, it will be the court meeting, and at that time, Hao Chujun and Shangguan Yi will inevitably coerce the voices of hundreds of officials and the people to attack together.

At that time, even Li Zhi will be difficult to parry, and he will inevitably respond.

What's more, in two days, I believe that the evidence in Shangguanyi's hands will be more sufficient.

Looking at this situation, there will inevitably be a life and death with Wu Meiniang.

Although he has the memory of later generations, he knows that the martial queen should be the victorious side.

But at this time, Su Dawei put himself in his shoes and thought that if he stood in the position of the martial queen, he really didn't know how to resolve the situation.

The offense and defense have changed momentum.

Just a witch, a curse, a disgusting spell, is an unforgivable sin.

What is Wu Meiniang thinking now?

Su Dawei shook his head, found a secluded place, crushed the bamboo tube in his hand, and unfolded the information in the Ducha Temple that recorded today's important events from inside.

This would have been the case.

As the secretary of the Ducha Temple, even if it is thousands of miles away on the Liaodong Peninsula, all the major events of the Ducha Temple will be gathered into intelligence, and in the form of daily life, a steady stream of Su Dawei will be thrown.

But now, with Li Zhi's order, legally speaking, he should not have access to this information.

Looking at the past at a glance, a trace of strangeness flashed on Su Dawei's face.

First of all, the students who made trouble today.

Hundreds of people knelt outside the palace gate, insisting that Empress Wu interfered in political affairs, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to depose the Empress.

But the palace ignored it.

From the afternoon until dusk, the students who were unwilling to be too much gradually dispersed.

But the matter should not be over yet, and the students who dispersed said that if His Majesty did not respond one day, they would continue to plead.

Public opinion is all under the pen of these literati, if they make a big deal and spread it all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention whether they can bring down the Empress Wu.

At least the day Khan will lose face.

And Shangguan Yi will inevitably have a backhand.

Will Li Zhi believe that Wu Meiniang colluded with Guo Xingzhen and harmed his eldest son with disgust?

This question will not be raised for the time being.

The second piece of today's information is the real reason why Su was surprised.

There's only one name on it.

Wushun.
