"Erlang, you're here, come here."

Just as Cui Geng was thinking wildly, Princess Taiping beckoned and ordered him to go over.

He hurriedly agreed, nodded at Li Longji and the others, and came to the two beauties.

It wasn't until now that he noticed that it wasn't two beautiful women sitting together, but three. Cao Yuechan also has a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl beside her, although she is not very good, but she is also delicate and cute. Especially a pair of eyes are clear and clean, which is particularly pitiful.

"Sit down."

Princess Taiping didn't embarrass him, and went to the wrong one next to him, so that Cui Geng could sit between herself and Cao Yuechan.

Cui Geng had time to ask, "What's wrong today?" Why do so many people come to Mianyue Tower? ”

Princess Taiping said: "What else can I do, it's just for that piece of ambergris." ”

"Ambergris?"

Cui Geng understands that ambergris is a very valuable spice, which is said to be the dragon's saliva, and the fragrance is similar to musk, but it is more quiet than musk ~ long.

This thing is not produced in Middle-earth, and even Fanbang comes and goes, so the price is very expensive. In Guangzhou, it was about one or two or fifty yuan, but in Chang'an, it was as high as one or two hundred yuan. In other words, it is ten times more expensive than gold.

Don't be too expensive, when Li Xian was in power, he was arrogant and extravagant, and often made high~ officials and nobles "each bring famous incense, compare the advantages and disadvantages, and call it 'Douxiang'". Ambergris is consumed too quickly, and there is no new replenishment, and now it is actually priceless.

However, Cui Geng was still a little strange, and said: "Even if a new piece of ambergris appears, it won't be ...... Attracted so many nobles to come and compete in person, right? ”

"It's no ordinary mile." Princess Taiping covered it with long sleeves, playfully drew circles on Cui Geng's palm with her little fingers, and said: "It is said that this piece of ambergris weighs twenty-three catties and seven taels, and the buyer does not sell it separately, everyone competes directly on this Mianyue Tower, and the one with the highest price wins." Datang has not had dragon incense for many years, do you say that those men are not bound to win? ”

"Men?" Cui Geng was slightly stunned.

Princess Taiping sneered and said, "This thing can refresh the heart and relieve depression, nourish the mind and aphrodisiac, what?" Erlang, haven't you tried it? ”

"Aphrodisiac?"

Cui Geng looked around and said proudly: "Unlike some people, a certain brave and difficult to be, but he doesn't need medicine to help him...... Oops! ”

As soon as he said this, before he could observe the expressions of Li Longji and the others, Cui Geng's right waist and eye had already been slapped by Cao Yuechan.

He knew that he was wrong, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "What's that...... Yuechan, you called me here for this ambergris? ”

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The concubine called you, it is indeed imperative to get this ambergris incense. It's just that it's not just for this one thing. ”

"You're a woman, and you're bound to get ambergris?"

"What do you want?" Of course, Cao Yuechan, a yellow flower girl, couldn't let go, so she glanced at Cui Geng fiercely and said, "I use ambergris, so I naturally have my reasons." ”

"What's the reason, when used as incense, it doesn't seem to have to be ambergris, right?"

Cao Yuechan pointed to the little girl next to her and said, "It's for her, Shi Juan'er." ”

After a pause, he added, "She is Shi Zhen's sister." At the beginning, Shi Zhen went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he didn't worry about leaving his sister at home alone, so he took her to Chang'an with him. Pity...... Shi Zhen suffered a rampant incident, and Juan'er was helpless. She has evidence of palpitations, and the doctor said that only by smelling ambergris for a long time can the roots be broken. ”

"Shi Zhen?"

Cui Geng finally remembered that the man who committed adultery with Yu Linglong and was killed by Cao Hao was called Shi Zhen.

He said strangely: "That Shi Zhen is with your Cao family...... Are you still doing this to his sister? ”

As soon as Shi Juan'er heard this, her eyes widened, her eyes were red, and she said, "My brother is wronged!" He didn't do that kind of ugly thing! No! ”

"This ......"

Cui Geng suddenly found that the direction of the girl's eyes was not facing him. He shook his hand twice in front of her, and sure enough, her eyes didn't blink.

Dare to love such a cute girl is blind, Cui Geng's heart is full of pity, and he is not interested in bothering with her.

Cao Yuechan sighed lightly and said, "Whether there is or not, it's all the fault of Yu Linglong's cheap~ people." If she hadn't been uneasy, our two families wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe. Juan'er's background is really pitiful, I already recognize her as a sister. ”

Cui Geng said: "By the way, what happened to Yu Linglong?" According to the law, a man and a woman shall commit adultery for a year and a half. Was she also exiled to Lingnan Province? ”

Cao Yuechan shook her head slightly and said, "No, it's that cheap~ lucky person." After the incident, the official had not yet come, and I thought that I might be able to hide it, so I gave her a sum of money and let her fly away. However, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the official errand finally came. ”

"Who's telling the secret?"

"I don't know. There are a lot of people who know about this, and I'm not in the mood to look it up. All in all, I hope that my Cao family ancestor will accumulate virtue and my younger brother can have a good place of exile. ”

It seems that Cao Yuechan already knows the results of today's discussion in the court. Cui Geng didn't have a good way, and the atmosphere was calm for a while.

At this moment, Li Longji raised his wine glass; came to the front of the two and said, "Mrs. Cao is invited!" ”

Cao Yuechan got up and said, "See the prince." ”

Li Longji said: "Regarding Brother Ling's lawsuit, the little lady must be very worried, right? In fact, if the Son of Heaven is pardoned by his father, it is not a big deal. ”

"I'm sorry, the prince, you originally put forward the request, but the concubine really can't meet it."

"That's okay too." Li Longji smiled slightly and said, "There is a way to achieve it, and there is a way to achieve it." If Cao Niangzi is willing to sacrifice half of your shares, although Brother Ling will still be exiled to Lingnan Dao, it is still no problem to choose a good place...... For example, Quanzhou? I wonder if Cao Niangzi can agree? ”

It's no wonder that he didn't care about the identity of the crown prince of the dynasty, and said the bribery so bluntly,

In fact, taking money or official positions to atone for crimes was in the Tang Dynasty. Yes, it can be established.

For example, if the emperor wants to make a special exception and pardon someone's sins, he will ask the prime minister, "What credit does so-and-so have?" ”

Then it depends on the character of the prime minister who is questioned, and in most cases, it is a conditional pardon, such as how many downgrades or how much the fine is.

It's just that now, it has become Li Longji to discuss directly with Cao Yuechan.

Cao Yuechan wanted to agree for Cao Hao, of course, but she was smart and would not make up her mind.

The reason is very simple, on the surface, Li Longji made a huge concession, Cao Yuechan only needs to pay half of the shares, and this matter has nothing to do with Cui Geng.

Not really.

First of all, he can't even protect his own woman's property, and the dignified King of Ji, Cui Geng, is too faceless.

Secondly, these elements were handed over, and Cui Geng lost the dominance of Jufenglong. And Li Longji and his son have a lot of money out of thin air. Although it cannot be said that fighting a war is fighting money in these years, the role of money can account for at least more than 30%. The power of Cui Geng's side and Li Longji's side will grow and decline, and they will be affected by it and produce very big changes.

Cao Yuechan looked at Cui Geng and said, "Erlang, what do you think?" ”

Cui Geng was also difficult to make a decision for a while, and said with difficulty, "Let's think twice." ”

Li Longji said after a while: "It's okay, Cui Qingtian and Cao Dongzhu thought slowly, anyway, three days later, Cao Hao's case will be judged." As for now...... Let's take a look first, whose hands does this ambergris fall into? ”

……

While talking, the appointed time has arrived.

Under the guidance of the owner of this building, Alpas, a Persian in his forties appeared in front of everyone.

Before Alpas could introduce the identity of this person, Zhang Qunli had already exclaimed: "Strange, what's the ...... It's him? ”
