"Brother Xiang, this time I am really grateful to the escorts from Shunfeng Escort Agency. Thank you for coming to Chameng to help us, otherwise Brother Xu and I might not be able to leave Chameng."

Under the torch, Song Shan looked at the scene of corpses everywhere on the ground with pale face, and stood beside Xiang Jin with lingering fear.

Although he thought that the Zhang family might make some small moves, he did not expect that the other party's movements would be so big.

More than 20 people took torches and swords and climbed over the wall and entered their yard at the middle of the night. What do they want to do?

This is to kill all the people!

Are you too brave?

Although the Zhang family has great power in Linyi, it also requires great courage to take action against the Tang Shang.

In this era, the Tang Dynasty would not be polite to foreign countries that dared to bully their own citizens.

"No need to thank me, mainly because the escorts at Shunfeng Escort Agency were vigilant enough. Yesterday I found someone scouting around. After two consecutive nights of vigil, the other party was fooled.

Fortunately, the Shunfeng Escort Agency has excellent equipment, even the crossbows used in the army.

Otherwise, more than 20 people from the other party would come together, and it would be difficult for us to be unscathed here.

But you don’t need to make special progress in this matter. After dawn, we will go to the Linyi Palace to complain and threaten to let the navy fleet come and preside over us for justice."

Xiang Jin has been overseas for more than a year.

He is very experienced in dealing with this barbarian.

So far, no country in Nanyang dares to be unfair to the Tang Dynasty.

"Will this be too troublesome? The navy's people also have their own arrangements."

Although Song Shan was barely considered a successful businessman, at his level, he naturally had nothing to do with the Maritime Marines.

But the Zheng family in Xingyang is different.

Although Li Kuan continued to suppress the strength of various aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, he treated the children of aristocratic families who went out to sea to make a living equally.

The Maritime Navy has done a good job in protecting all overseas Tang people.

Before, Xiang Jin encountered some difficulties when he was in charge of the construction of a paper workshop.

After the Maritime Marine Warship was docked at the port, all the problems were solved.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, the truth will always be within the range of the cannon.

If you can threaten me, I am afraid of you.

If you can't threaten me, I will ignore you.

"But this time we have killed so many people from the other side, will the people from Linyi Kingdom make a statement about this?"

This is the first time Song Shan has encountered such a thing. Even if he has no losses, he is a little panicked.

In fact, this is also the normal reaction of many people when they encounter things abroad.

Even if you encounter a murder abroad for more than a thousand years, no matter which country you are from, you will definitely feel a little panicked.

This is probably what the so-called "people leave their hometown and are humble" means.

"Don't be afraid! Some robbers broke in. Wouldn't it be normal for us to kill them?

If the Zhang family knows each other, nothing will happen tonight, and then they will be ready to close their own papermaking workshop and wait until they see what to do.

However, we have also discussed it before. Give them a step at this time and purchasing paper workshops is actually the best way to deal with it.

So tomorrow, in addition to going to the palace, I will also visit Zhang Hua again at the Zhang family and offer a 100-yuan coin to buy their papermaking workshop."

Xiang Jin gave his own answer calmly.

"One hundred guan? But according to what people who have arranged this time, their papermaking workshops are worth more than one hundred guan.

Not to mention anything else, would they be willing to sell it like this?"

Song Shan’s question is also Xu Cai’s question.

They have never encountered such a thing that goes against their own cognition before.

It seems that the aristocratic families do business differently from ordinary people like me.

"Will you know tomorrow if it succeeds or not?

Okay, everyone didn’t sleep well all night, so let’s go to sleep for a while now.”

...

"Waste! A bunch of waste! I didn't even understand what the situation was. I just escaped with the loss of soldiers and generals?"

In Zhangfu Villa, Zhang Hua lights whale oil candles in the room, waiting for the news of his subordinates' triumphant return.

As a result, the good news was not waiting, but several subordinates escaped back covered in blood.

This news was worse than the worst result he had imagined.

"Langjun, Tang army, there are definitely soldiers from the Tang Dynasty responsible for defense, otherwise there would be no crossbows used by the Tang army."

The person Zhang Hua is looking for is still a little knowledgeable.

At least until now, he finally realized that he must have been attacked by a crossbow.

This kind of thing he had never seen before and had only heard of it in legends was unexpectedly touched by himself.

"Impossible! Whether it's Song Shan or Xu Cai, I have arranged for someone to find out. They have no background in the Tang Dynasty and are not the children of any noble.

With their abilities, it is impossible for elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to escort them around."

Zhang Hua immediately denied his subordinates' speculation.

This is inconsistent with what he learned.

"Mr. Lang, if this is the case, my subordinates have thought of a possibility."

In order to clear the responsibility for his failure as much as possible, the person in charge of the action is also desperately trying to make excuses for himself.

“What is possible?”

"Shunfeng Escort Agency! It is possible that the people around them are from Shunfeng Escort Agency! Whether in our Linyi or in other places in Nanyang, Shunfeng Escort Agency activities are very frequent.

It is in our Champa City that if there are relatively large Tang people merchants, there are often several escorts from Shunfeng Escort Agency around us.

These stooges are very well equipped, and even the guards in our palace may not be better equipped than them.

Moreover, Shunfeng Escort Agency has a crossbow that can only be equipped by the army overseas, which I have heard of occasionally before.

Now, based on the situation just now, the most likely thing is that Manager Song and others hired Shunfeng Escort Agency to escort the side."

"Even if it's like you said, why do people know that you will attack at this time?

It must be where you showed your strength!”

"Mr. I don't know the specific situation, but I'm sure that my brothers have tried their best today.

Even if you are ambushed, you will retreat only when you have to."

"What's the use of that? What I want is the result! It's the result!"

Zhang Hua angrily threw all his beloved glass to the ground.

However, he had no better idea than venting.

Things are already like this, and it’s useless to be angry.

As a child of the Zhang family, he still has this vision and control ability.

...

"Haha! I'm so laughing to death, I'm so laughing to death!"

Lin Zhou was about to burst into tears as he listened to the people below reporting the latest happenings in Cham City.

"Aye, this time the Zhang family sold the papermaking workshop that he boasted about to Tangren. I heard that it only sold for one hundred stale money, and this face was definitely thrown to the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, His Highness the King also proposed to exempt the papermaking workshop they had given them three years of taxes.

At that time, we were still thinking about whether to come forward to stop it, but now it seems that there is no need."

The Lin family Dalang was very happy to report the news about the Zhang family to Lin Zhou.

As the second son of the Zhang family, although Zhang Hua is not Lin Dalang's main competitor, he has made a lot of things in Champa in recent years, which still brings some pressure to the Lin family.

Now, I thought it was a matter of increasing my face, but it turned out like this in the end.

"After such a matter, the Zhang family will probably calm down a lot in the future.

We can take advantage of the victory and come up with some of our ideas.”

Take your life while you are sick.

As a political opponent, Lin Zhou definitely has this awareness.

Otherwise, the Lin family would not be qualified to become a rival to the Zhang family.

"Don't they want to build cement roads? I think cement roads cost so much, it's better to build yellow dirt roads directly.

With this money, we can repair more roads now.
