The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 283 side story (A Guang story)
Fortress of military defense on the border.
" Prince, someone brought a message for you? " One of the soldiers came and brought a scroll to Sima Feng.
A Feng immediately opened and read the message. One corner of his lips lifted. Then talk to his subordinates.
" Is the person sending the message still there? "
" It is still His Majesty. "
Sima Feng took out a bag of money behind his shirt and took out a few taels of silver. The amount is quite large and can be to eat one commoner's family for one month.
" Give this to her and say my thanks. "
The soldier immediately carried out what he was told.
" Ling He let's go soon. We have to finish the task that brother gave us. " A Feng got up and walked out.
" Good Your Majesty. " Ling He immediately followed his master.
If the crown prince were to ask the second prince to settle it then that was quite a serious matter. At least that was captured by Ling he as A Feng's personal bodyguard. Because he serves people who are quite talkative and stingy explained. He should be smarter in reading situations.
********
The Shu kingdom.
" Have you got the information I asked for? "
Xiao wen nodded and began to expose all the information that A Guang had previously requested.
It turns out that Shu country has an information center that sells all kinds of information based on the amount of money offered.
" So there are three main trade groups? " Tanya A Guang made sure after xiao wen finished delivering it.
" Right Your Majesty and the trade group that Gu shang works for is one of them. "
A Guang raised one of his eyebrows. " It just so happens. Continue in. "
Xiao wen added. " Reportedly one of the trading groups is the property of the kingdom, therefore most likely we will cooperate with them. But because there are rejections from other trade groups that reject the monopoly done by the kingdom, the government, finally, it was decided that half of our cooperation will be carried out by one of the two remaining trade groups. "
" In this way. Then the quantity of goods delivery will be more stable. "
The trade cooperation agreement between Jin and Shu is always updated every three years. It's important to revisit some points that both sides say are no longer profitable.
" Have you found any information about the two trade groups? " A Guang asked again.
A satisfied smile appeared on A Guang's face as soon as Xiao wen nodded.
He always does a good and efficient job. It was not wrong if he became uncle Xiao Qi's son.
" The first Haidao trade group. Initially they focused on sea transactions with several foreign countries. After the river opened. They also began to enter and participate in opening river trade. " A Guang nodded in understanding. His five right fingers tapped the table in turn.
" Haidao trade group is known to be quite cruel because it does not hesitate to destroy other trade groups that are competitors. And the most important thing is that they do opium sales with foreign nations. "
Brak!
A Guang hit the table hard. Xiao wen wanted to be surprised, but he was used to it.
A Guang's face was red with anger that could no longer be hidden. " Did those who made opium come into our country? "
" Most likely. Because only haido imports opium from foreign countries. "
A Guang smiled demonically. " Then gather evidence of the opium smuggling they're doing. I want to shut their mouths. "
" good. Then don't you want to hear about the second trade group? "
" It's not necessary. Just do what I told you. " Waving hands, expelling Xiao wen.
Xiao wen immediately went to take care of what A Guang ordered. But he also left a record of the information he had collected.
A Guang who was alone in the inn was bored. Minister Pei will arrive in two days. So he decided to seek entertainment in the capital.
It goes down the streets of the bustling capital. His steps came to a halt when he arrived at a place he believed was a casino.
" Isn't this a casino? Why is it in this country too? Did you open a branch here too? " Murm A Guang to himself.
He also stepped in. Really what he saw made A Guang quite surprised. The place was not much different from his mother's casino.
" Fuckin' asshole. You must be cheating."
" You can't play, so accuse me of cheating. How humiliating! "
The commotion turned into a fight. Everyone watching no one wants to separate.
A Guang did not want to interfere so he just looked. It is normal for something like this to happen. Because not infrequently his mother's casino also experienced similar things.
This caught the attention of A Guang.
" Stop! " Shouted one of the people from the group.
His loud voice made A Guang come in with surprise.
The commotion stopped immediately. Everyone now turned their attention to that group of people who had just come.
" Mister Ya se said that after this do not come here again. You guys always make a fuss. This is the third time. So the ban is the final decision. "
I heard their discussion. Then came a figure that A Guang was quite familiar with. He has been to see his family several times. He was his father's true rival.
A Guang walked over. His eyes did not change from the face of the blue-eyed middle-aged man at all.
" Uncle arthur. " Call A Guang subconsciously.
Arthur who heard his foreign name called his turn and saw A Guang standing among his casino visitors.
Arthur who was so happy to see the young man who had been considered like his son immediately gave a hug.
Now everyone is dumbfounded. Yes se or Arthur who is famous as an untouchable and cold man. But now he looks with a friendly face full of smiles. Happiness was clearly on the man's face.
" Who is he? why did mister Ya se seem so happy to meet him? "
" I don't know."
Some people started to guess who A Guang was.
The happy Arthur subconsciously said 'my son'. And everyone finally came to the conclusion that A Guang was Arthur's son.
The misunderstanding grew until some people finally argued that A Guang was the illegitimate son of Arthur. Because that man never married. So the thought arises from that fact.
" So uncle opened this casino too. " Tanya A Guang who had been possessed by curiosity ever since.
Both are at Arthur's house. A magnificent building that he had built from his own sweat.
When Wang yi ascended the throne, Arthur was actually placed by him as one of the ministers.But he refused because he did not like the affairs of the kingdom that is full of intrigue in it. The palace reminded him of the Kingdom in his world.
The seizure of the throne between the Wellington family and the Imperial family indirectly caused a war that eventually made Gaia and herself in this world.
Therefore he prefers to continue the trade union he built with money yi and manage his casino.
That makes him have a lot of time, up to once a few years he can visit the state of Jin. No wonder he had a good relationship with all of Gaia's children. For to him, the child that the woman is born with is also her child.
That statement of course made Sima rui upset. Acknowledge the trees planted in his own yard and from his own seedlings. But acknowledged by others.
What a blatant theft. Unfortunately Arthur is too stubborn to hear Sima rui's insinuations.
Arthur laughed when he heard A Guang's question.
Then he answered. " This casino is not entirely mine. There's your mother's stake in it. So indirectly it became both of us. "
Suddenly A Guang sensed a danger from the sentence that Arthur had just said.
" Uncle, please don't say that in front of me. I don't want to create a storm at home. "
Instead of being afraid, Arthur returned. " Is your father still like a urn of vinegar? "
" It's worse. I was even punished here for one of those reasons. I'm jealous because my mom thinks more of me than she does. Isn't my father's love so scary? "
Arthur explained. " It's not scary. Your father just loves your mother too much. Even I'm pretty sure no one loves your mother more than she does. "
There was no jealousy or anger on Arthur's face. The man has made peace with his feelings and prefers to keep his love close. For him his Gaia origin was happy then he was happy too.
A Guang smiled hearing that. He also knew that his parents loved each other. So although upset by his father's exaggerated attitude, he was also happy because his father's love was still very big for his mother.
" So that's why you're here? What kind of punishment should I do here? " Ask Arthur.
Maybe he can help a little for this 'son. Arthur thought so.
A Guang began to explain the purpose of his coming to shu. In addition to extension and review of cooperation. His father also wanted to make a collaboration on the prohibition of the distribution of opium.
The forbidden drug has entered Jin and lately has taken its toll. In addition, opium addiction also makes crime rates increase.
Hence, sima rui deliberately sent A Guang to negotiate on this matter.
" I'll try to talk to Emperor Shu. Maybe he'll think about it a little. Remembering in shu also opium was quite unsettling. "
A Guang shook his head, "No uncle. I'll try to handle it myself. I think I need to learn to finish it. " He smiled stiffly.
A Guang did not want to dig his own grave. If her father finds out that Arthur is helping her isn't it the same as inviting another punishment for her.
And it's possible that the next sentence will be more dire than it is now.
