Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 282 Merchants enter the palace.

Set the soap aside.

Ying Zheng rubbed his hands together and the soap produced a little foam.

After rubbing his hands twice, Ying Zheng washed them.

"Hmm... I don't think there's anything special."

"cough."

Qi Pan coughed lightly and said, "Brother, how about... you put some oil on your hands first?"

ah.......

"it is good."

Ying Zheng responded and wiped off some oil stains with his hand.

He also rubbed it in his palm.

Then apply soap.

After rubbing it, rub it a few times.

Hey?

It seems that your palms are not so greasy?

Washed hands again.

The oil stains on the palms mixed with soap were washed away by water.

Ying Zheng said, "Master, look, it's really clean!"

Ying Zheng spread out his clean but water-stained hands and showed them to Qi Pan.

Qi Pan said, "It's really good. It has cleaned all the oil stains on my hands."

She took a handkerchief from the side.

There were some stains of oil and soup on the handkerchief.

Green and blue.

Qi Pan said, "Brother, please let me take this handkerchief and try it."

"See how well this soap cleans."

"it is good."

Ying Zheng took a step aside.

Qi Pan first soaked the handkerchief in the basin of water and then applied soap on it.

After rubbing it a few times, the soap began to foam.

Then the oil stains and soup on the towel began to break down.

Keep kneading.

Wash in clean water.

The grease and soup stains on the towel were all washed away.

The originally clean water in the basin became a little turbid.

Looking at the clean handkerchief, Qipan nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it's good. This soap has a very strong cleaning effect."

........

Outside the palace gate.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu, and Ding Ning paced back and forth in circles.

From time to time, he looked inside the palace gate.

Why has this official been gone for so long and hasn’t come back yet?

Didn’t you find His Majesty?

Or does Your Majesty not want to see them?

So the official didn’t get his job done and doesn’t dare to come back?

That’s not right either.

They are just three merchants, even if the official did not see His Majesty and did not inform them.

There's no need to hide from them.

They can't do anything to the officials.

Moreover, they gave money to the officials only in the hope that they would do their best to report for them.

I don’t dare to expect that I will be able to enter the palace to see His Majesty.

The sun in the sky climbed higher little by little.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others were waiting anxiously.

This feeling of having your heart hanging high in the air is so torturous.

Thinking about the booklets I carried with me and the losses suffered by those merchants.

Jiang Xiang and others felt heavy in their hearts.

I hope to meet His Majesty and seek justice for them.

............

dining room.

Qi Pan and Ying Zheng were still studying the soap when Xia Lin suddenly came over, bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, outside the palace gate, Jiang Xiang and three other imperial merchants are asking to see you."

kindness?

Jiangxiang?

Royal merchant?

Ying Zheng thought of the plaque he had ordered the palace servants to deliver yesterday, "Announce."

"promise."

Xia Lin responded and walked out quickly.

Outside the dining room.

The soldiers were waiting outside the door.

As soon as he saw Xia Lin, he hurried forward and asked.

"Eunuch Xia, how about it? Is Your Majesty willing to see them?"

Xia Lin said, "Go ahead and bring them in."

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers were delighted.

"okay!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Xia!"

The soldier put the bag of money he had obtained from Jiang Xiang into Xia Lin's hands.

"This is what those imperial merchants gave to me. Eunuch Xia, please take a look."

Xia Lin looked at the purse in his hand.

After opening it, he took out the silver that was to be handed over to the national treasury.

Then return the rest to the soldiers.

"Take it."

The soldier accepted it with a smile.

Once the silver is accounted for, it becomes his.

Then he turned and walked away quickly.

He also had to hurry to the palace gate to bring in the three imperial merchants.

This back and forth takes a lot of effort.

I wonder if His Majesty will still be in the kitchen when he comes back with his men?

........

Palace entrance.

Jiang Xiang kept staring at the palace gate and saw a figure walking out from afar.

He suddenly became excited.

"Here I come! I'm back!"

They wanted to go forward and ask, but they were afraid that if they entered the palace without permission, they would be killed by the guards.

I could only stretch my neck.

As soon as the soldier came out, Jiang Xiang and others immediately surrounded him.

"Sir, what do you think? What does His Majesty say?"

"Would you like to summon us?"

The general said, "Your Majesty has summoned you. Please follow me in."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others felt relieved.

He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, thank you very much, sir, thank you very much, sir!"

The soldiers searched him and confirmed that he was not carrying any sharp weapons.

The soldier took Jiang Xiang and others into the palace.

Entering the palace for the second time.

Jiang Xiang and others still couldn't hide their shock.

They calmed their minds and followed the soldiers carefully.

When I looked at the surrounding scenery, it was completely different from what I saw last time.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others were a little panicked.

this..........

This doesn’t seem to be the way to the Xianyang Palace?

Where is this official going to take them?

Are they going to be sold?

Seeing that they were getting further and further away, Jiang Xiang mustered up the courage to ask.

"Um... Sir, where are we going now?"

"This road looks a little unfamiliar..."

The soldier leading the way in front said without turning his head.

"His Majesty is not in the Xianyang Palace. We are taking you to the kitchen."

"You all walk faster."

"If His Majesty leaves, I won't take you to look for him."

what?

Your Majesty is not in the Xianyang Palace?

Went to the kitchen?

Why did Your Majesty go to the kitchen?

Jiang Xiang and others had some doubts in their hearts.

But when they knew that the soldiers were not going to sell them out, they felt relieved.

Jiang Xiang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

"Thank you, sir. We will be quicker soon. We will be quicker soon."

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others quickly quickened their pace.

The soldiers will march ahead.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and Ding Ning were chasing behind.

I was almost running.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Jiang Xiang and others were sweating profusely.

The steps are empty.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu, Ding Ning and others were leaning on their knees, panting.

The soldier looked back at them.

"You guys are not in good physical condition. You are too weak."

"I just walked a few steps and I'm already out of breath."

The soldiers did not blush or breathe heavily.

He even felt that this short distance was not enough for him to warm up.

Jiang Xiang panted and said, "Yes.....we are weak and cannot compare to you, sir..."

"All right."

The general said, "Please put on your clothes and wait here."

After hearing what the soldiers said, Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu, Ding Ning and others hurried to express their gratitude.

Then he tidied up his somewhat messy clothes.

He pulled his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After confirming that there was no problem, he stood quietly by and waited.

The soldier took a few steps forward and spoke to the palace guards.
