Chapter 1202 The enemy country is causing trouble

"Let's go to the government with Mr. Huang..."

"That's right. The tax was already collected once when you passed the customs. I didn't expect that you still have to pay tax when you get here. Let's go and ask, otherwise we won't be able to use this line in the future."

"Businessmen from other countries don't pay taxes, only our merchants from the Tang Dynasty pay taxes. How can this be possible?"

Many businessmen also stood up at this time. They were not convinced before, but after all, you are on their own country. If you want to cause trouble, they may have various ways to repair it, so you and these people are also prepared. After swallowing their anger, an official from Anxi City suddenly came. Of course they had to follow him to have a look.

"It looks like you made a lot of money."

Li Xiang looked at the Tang businessmen around him. According to the tax rate he had just collected, they were indeed eating a lot.

"Hurry up and let me go. I tell you, I don't care what kind of official you are in the Tang Dynasty. Do you know what the relationship is between the prefect and me? He is my cousin. Even if you arrest me, , do you think you can do anything good? And you businessmen, can he control you for the rest of your life? As long as he leaves, you will still come here to do business in the future, do you think I can leave? "

This guy saw that things were about to get into trouble. After hearing what he said, the Tang Dynasty businessmen around him started to murmur in their hearts.

Mr. Huang may be able to seek justice for us, but if you want to do business here for a long time, you really can't offend the people in front of you.

"You are really a local bully, but I am the best at dealing with bullies like you. You can either go with me to seek justice. With my prestige in the Tang Dynasty, I believe that a mere Wacheng Mansion can't help you." Dare to openly confront me, Datang, otherwise you will admit your losses."

Li Xiang said with his hands behind his back, "If you want to recover the losses, you have to make sacrifices. Businessmen of the Tang Dynasty also have to stand up for themselves abroad. If you admit that you have suffered a loss, then there is nothing to say." Just pay for your own weakness.

"Go to hell... He actually blackmailed us merchants from the Tang Dynasty. At worst, he won't do business here anymore. I won't tolerate this arrogance. I am willing to follow Mr. Huang to the government."

"That's right. No matter where we merchants from the Tang Dynasty go, we don't have to make money, but we can never weaken the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."

Naturally, there are a group of people with backbone among the merchants. These people also took out their own weapons one after another, and then straddled their waists. If there is a conflict with the government later, the worst we can do is fight with them. , can we still be afraid of small foreign countries like them?

Seeing the actions of the Tang Dynasty businessmen around him, Lord Tilagong was terrified to death.

Did he know that what his cousin admired most was the Tang culture, and half of the city's prosperity was brought about by these Tang businessmen? If he was dragged to his cousin because of this matter, he would There is really no good fruit to eat.

But now he has no other way. Both arms are being held down tightly. Usually his force is acceptable, but when he encounters Mr. Huang's two guards, no matter how hard he struggles, both arms Just can't move an inch.

In the past, Wacheng has been in turmoil. It has been a little quieter in the past two years, and there has never been a large-scale riot. But at this moment, hundreds of people pressed down on the officers of Wacheng, and they went directly to the prefect. The government office.

"Let them go immediately. Who are you people? How dare you detain our troops in Wa City without permission? Do you even want to live?"

When approaching the government office, the guard standing guard at the door recognized Tiragon at a glance, but he didn't recognize the people around him, so he immediately called his soldiers to come up.

"Quickly capture them all. These people are all from the Tang Dynasty. They want to occupy our Wa City."

Tyragon said loudly at this moment, saying that nothing could be done to make his cousin come out.

Fortunately, the small school on duty can still distinguish right from wrong. These people in front of them are indeed from the Tang Dynasty, but it would be a bit of a joke to say that they want to occupy Wancheng. Currently, there are still three thousand defenders in Wancheng. Just based on these people in front of you?

"I am an official from Anxi City of the Tang Dynasty. I want to see your prefect. I have something to ask your prefect."

Li Xiang slapped Tilagong on the face. Just when the guard at the gate of the government office was about to take action, Li Xiang revealed his identity, and the person next to him also took out the official seal.

When Li Xiang slapped him in the face just now, these guards were really angry. You merchants from the Tang Dynasty dared to be so bold and attack our troops at the gate of our government.

But when they saw the official document with the big seal, these people looked at each other and realized that this was no ordinary businessman of the Tang Dynasty, but an official of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty has become famous in recent years, and they have all heard of it. If it is not handled well, the army may come from the north. Originally, Nanzhao was still an independent country, but now it has become The protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

To put it nicely, it was a protectorate; to put it badly, wasn’t it the territory of the Tang Dynasty? The soldiers in the border cities have all been replaced by people from the Tang Dynasty. Where is the shadow of the Nanzhao army?

"Master Huang, please go in and report later."

The government official did not dare to neglect, and asked the people around him to watch carefully, but absolutely not to do anything.

Li Xiang was quite satisfied with his reaction. Isn't it just to improve the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in these years of fighting in the north and south? If you don't even have this privilege, it's like fighting in vain.

As for Tiragon, this guy's mouth has been gagged at the moment. He just received a slap from Li Xiang in vain. Looking at the reactions of the government servants in front of him, he certainly understands what's going on. He probably will die here. .

But everyone will work hard for their own lives. He signaled one of the guards with his eyes to quickly mobilize troops. This person was also his fair-weather friend in normal times. How could he not understand what he meant? Taking advantage of the panic, he took the opportunity to leave the city.

Tilagong's cousin was the magistrate of Wacheng. Among the entire Piao Kingdom, he was also one of the most important officials in the north. After hearing the news, he did not dare to neglect. He quickly put on his official uniform and went out to meet with officials of the Tang Dynasty. ...(End of chapter)
