Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Chu Mo, I came here to announce the decree under His Majesty's Majesty the Emperor. If you dare to treat me like this, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"

The eunuch was pushed to the ground. After finally taking a breath, he began to yell loudly.

However, before Chu Mo could speak, a sudden voice came to his mind:

"Hey Yue, who do I think this is? Isn't this our Eunuch Liu? What's wrong? Why is he in such a mess?"

The person who spoke was none other than Wang Dehai.

Seeing Wang Dehai, Eunuch Liu snorted with an ugly face and said:

"Wang Dehai, His Majesty asked me to come here to announce the decree. Chu Mo dares to be disrespectful to me and Your Majesty. Why don't you help me capture him quickly?"

After hearing Eunuch Liu's words, Wang Dehai stepped forward and said:

"Who are you, and you dare to talk to me like this?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the pile of "congratulatory gifts" and said:

"Xiao Liuzi, you are so brave. Not only did you replace the treasures given by His Majesty without permission, but you also destroyed the dragon and phoenix candles privately. This is a serious crime against the three clans."

Although Chu Mo had said the same words before, most of the people around him thought it was a random excuse and wanted to teach the eunuch a lesson.

But this time I heard it from Wang Dehai, and the meaning was different.

After all, not to mention 100% of the entire Leizhou City, at least [-]% to [-]% of the people knew that the other party was sent here by the emperor to supervise Chu Mo's construction of the fleet.

The words spoken by the other party were naturally more convincing than those spoken by Chu Mo.

Moreover, this matter is also related to the royal family. Unless the other party does not want to return to Chang'an, it is impossible to lie.

When they heard that Chu Mo was going to punish Liu Gonggong, some people in the crowd were a little ready to make a move. Now that Wang Dehai came forward, the situation was stabilized and everyone became quiet instantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Si on the side no longer hesitated, and directly had Eunuch Liu and his party silenced, and then ordered them to be hung at the city gate.

As soon as Eunuch Liu and his group were taken away, a group of envoys named Qiwang were brought over.

Seeing the excitement at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the envoy was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully handed over the gift list.

When everyone watching the excitement saw how respectful the visitor was, they knew that something like that would never happen again, and they became curious about the gifts sent by this group of people.

Zhang Si took the gift list and read it loudly:

"Cui Yingying, the head of the Cui family in Boling and the president of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, congratulates the son of Chu County on his wedding. He specially presents a Nanhai Jade Guanyin, 300 million taels of silver, 200 good horses, 300 pieces of Shu brocade, and [-] craftsmen."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him became excited.

I didn't expect the Bolingcui family to be so generous. I really don't know what the other party wants to do with so much emphasis on Chu Mo.

Before anyone could continue to speculate, Zhang Si continued to read:

"Cui Zheng, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, congratulates Mr. Chu on his wedding. He specially presents 1 taels of silver, 10 servants, and [-] pieces of brocade."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was discussion again.

"They both belong to the fifth surname and Qi Wang. Isn't there a big gap between the gifts given by these two families?"

"Yes, yes, why do I feel that the Qinghe Cui family is so stingy? Is the Cui family in trouble?"

Discussions came and went, reaching the ears of the envoys one after another.

When the envoy from the Cui family in Qinghe heard everyone's discussion, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment. He didn't want to leave or stay.

Zhang Si deliberately waited until the crowd's chatter gradually died down, then cleared his throat and continued to read:

"Li Gang, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, congratulates the son of Chu County on his wedding. He specially presents 30 famous Dawan horses, 1 taels of gold, 5 taels of silver, 1 taels of copper coins, and 200 craftsmen of various types."

"Lu Hui, the head of the Lu family in Fanyang, congratulates the son of Chu County on his wedding. He specially presents a jade Buddha, 10 bloody horses, 1 taels of gold, 5 taels of silver, 1 taels of copper coins, and 200 craftsmen of various types."

. . . . .

The gifts given by the remaining few people seemed to have been discussed. Except for the first item on the gift list, which was various rare treasures, the rest were all kinds of famous horses and the same number of gold, silver and copper coins, and finally there was an additional 200. Famous craftsman.

As soon as Zhang Sigang finished reading the gift list, everyone around him looked at the envoy from the Cui family in Qinghe with strange eyes.

Because they found that except for the gifts sent by Cui Yingying, which were far more than others, only the Cui family in Qinghe had some exceptions, which were far lower than the others.

Moreover, when Zhang Si read out the gift list, he directly ranked the Qinghe Cui family behind the Bolin Cui family, forming a sharp contrast, which made people even more imaginative.

After listening to the congratulatory gifts from each family, Chu Mo asked Zhang Si to arrange for someone to take them to the inn arranged in advance to rest.

Although there was no distinction on the surface, when arranging accommodation, all except the Cui family of Qinghe were arranged in an inn near the Governor's Mansion.

The envoy from the Cui family in Qinghe was placed in a dilapidated inn outside Leizhou City.

The distance between the two parties would take half an hour to walk by carriage.

Although he was holding his breath, the envoy from the Cui family in Qinghe did not dare to have the slightest objection.

Just kidding, I am on Chu Mo's territory now. If one of them does something wrong and makes the other party angry and buries me alive, who will I cry to?

He still remembered that when Chu Mo was in Chang'an, he dared to confront His Majesty.

When I left the city before, I saw that Eunuch Liu and his party, who had come to deliver gifts, were being hung at the city gate for public display.

After arranging the people with the five surnames and Qi Wang, the Governor's Mansion soon welcomed the gift-giving team of Prince Li Chengqian.

Chu Mo was very surprised that Li Chengqian would send someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Logically speaking, he and Li Chengqian can be said to be fighting to the death.

The other party didn't think of retaliating against him, but actually sent someone to give him a gift.

Chu Mo was 100% sure that the purpose of the other party's doing this was definitely for the weasel to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken. It was not a good intention.

Sure enough, when Zhang Si saw the gift list handed over by the other party, his face instantly turned ugly. After hesitating for a while, he handed it to Chu Mo with sweat on his forehead.

Chu Mo took the gift and looked at it. He was so angry that he almost ordered the messenger to be pulled out and buried alive.

But I saw so many eyes around me staring at me.

I'm getting married soon, so I can't afford to have a bad reputation.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo winked at Zhang Si.

Zhang Si immediately understood, and with a few secret guards, he quietly surrounded the envoys from the Prince's Mansion, then put a dagger against their waists and threatened in a low voice:

"When the gift list is read out later, whoever dares to speak, I will make sure that he never becomes a man in his life."
