Chapter 2370 Forgot one person
"Oh!" Li Shen slapped his forehead, "So it's this bastard, how could I have forgotten about him?
Come, bring the other person here."
Li Shen finally remembered that it was the unscrupulous merchant who bought stolen goods worth a hundred strings of coins for only one string of coins.
I did summon him at that time, but I forgot about it because it had been so long.
At that time, Li Shen’s idea was very simple: those who received the stolen goods must be severely punished.
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, a big belly and a fat waist was brought in by the guards.
"I, Zheng Shaohong, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
When he saw Li Shen, the visitor immediately bowed and introduced his name.
Zheng Shaohong? Could he be a member of the Zheng family? This was Li Shen's first thought.
He is now suffering from the aftereffects of being associated with the aristocratic families. He thinks that anyone who is related to the Five Surnames is from the Five Surnames.
"Zheng Shaohong, what is it that you want to see me about?"
Li Shen asked directly, taking the initiative, regardless of whether he summoned him or not.
By asking this question, he really took the initiative and directly confused Zheng Shaohong.
I thought to myself, didn’t you ask me to come here?
He had already inquired about it on the way. The bailiff revealed some of the events in Ji Wang's trial to him. He also knew that Ji Wang wanted to find him this time because he had purchased the stolen money.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, I don't know why Your Highness summoned me, so I came here to ask Your Highness if you have any instructions."
Zheng Shaohong saluted and said, throwing the question back.
"Hahaha. Interesting. I heard that you are in the jewelry business?" Li Shen laughed and asked.
Judging from the other party's conversation and his neither humble nor arrogant attitude, Li Shen asserted that Zheng Shaohong was a member of the Zheng family.
This place is located on a major route of the Silk Road, so it is normal for noble families to do business here.
"That's right, Your Highness." Zheng Shaohong replied immediately.
"I will be returning to Chang'an soon, and before I leave, I would like to select some gifts for His Majesty and the Queen.
Do you have any Western-style jewelry? I'm willing to pay a high price for it."
Li Shen didn't mention anything about buying stolen goods. Instead, he asked about the jewelry.
This made Zheng Shaohong somewhat confused about Li Shen's intentions.
But he nodded:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I do have some Western-style jewelry, but I'm not sure if Your Majesty and the Empress would like it."
Most merchants knew that King Ji was very generous when buying things. As long as the things were good, he never considered the price.
Therefore, many merchants from the Western Regions would choose to sell their good things to Prince Ji's Mansion, and the prices would be much higher than other places.
He is a businessman, so naturally he wants to sell at the highest price possible.
Moreover, Prince Ji said that he was selecting products for His Majesty and the Queen. If His Majesty liked his jewelry,
It will be of great benefit to his business in the future.
"Oh? That's great! I've traveled all over Anxi Protectorate and haven't found anything that caught my eye.
If you truly have a rare treasure, I am willing to pay a high price for it."
Li Shen's face showed joy.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, all my accessories are in my shop. Please come and take a look at my shop."
Seeing Li Shen happy, Zheng Shaohong was also very happy.
"I am tired. Please bring me your treasure, and if I find it appealing, I will pay you immediately."
Li Shen had no intention of going, but asked Zheng Shaohong to bring the jewelry.
Zheng Shaohong thought about it and nodded:
"Then Your Highness Prince Ji, please wait a moment. I will go back and get the ornaments."
Zheng Shaohong didn't think much about it, just thinking that Prince Ji was arrogant and didn't want to go and see it in person.
"Well, go ahead. I'll be waiting here. Remember not to fool me with worthless things."
Li Shen smiled and nodded.
Zheng Shaohong immediately bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, we have gained a lot from our trip to Xizhou this time. We have brought back a lot of ornaments from the spoils of war and from Yanqi.
Why did His Majesty buy jewelry? Wang Xuance asked after seeing Zheng Shaohong leave.
"Hey? Who would complain about having too much gold, silver, and jewelry? Maybe Zheng Shaohong's jewelry is different from ours.
One more is always a good thing.”
Li Shen smiled easily.
Wang Xuance didn't say much. King Ji had his reasons for doing so.
Not long after, Zheng Shaohong came back with two boxes in his hands.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, this is the best accessory in my shop. Please take a look."
After Zheng Shaohong finished speaking, he first opened a box. Inside was a necklace, which was full of jewels and inlaid with many gems.
"It does have some exotic style." Li Shen lost interest after taking a look. He had several boxes of this kind of thing in his warehouse.
According to Li Shen's judgment, this necklace is only worth a few hundred strings of cash.
It may be a luxury to others, but to Li Shen, it is garbage.
It was completely different from what the new king Ye of Kucha escorted.
"Anything else?" Li Shen withdrew his gaze and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is the treasure of our store." Zheng Shaohong said as he opened the second box.
Inside are three kinds of ornaments: a bun, a hairpin and a pearl hairpin.
“Your Highness Prince Ji, these three ornaments have been carefully selected and made by skilled craftsmen from the Western Regions.
The materials used are mainly emerald jade, and this mutton-fat white jade is also top-grade..."
"Alright, I understand this better than you. Bring it here so I can take a good look."
Li Shen interrupted Zheng Shaohong who was talking incessantly. He became interested in these three things, mainly because the style was indeed somewhat unique, with a hollow design and inlaid with gems and pearls.
More vivid than those accessories with patterns.
Li Shen estimated that it was worth at least a thousand strings of cash. Only royal relatives, princes, and nobles could buy the wild animals.
Shitou walked down and put the box on the table next to Li Shen. Li Shen picked up the hairpin and looked at it.
He took another photo outside.
The pearls are good, they are of top quality, and the gemstones are also of top quality. Most importantly, the workmanship is really beautiful.
Buyao, shaking with every step you take is called Buyao,
After taking a look at them one by one, Li Shen was very satisfied. He thought that this thing would be just right to take home for his wives and concubines.
It's about this level, but the gifts for my father and the queen can't be so casual.
"Very good, this is good. I want it. Stone will pay for it."
Li Shen closed the box and waved his hand at the stone.
Shi Tou immediately stepped forward, took out a gold bar and threw it to Zheng Shaohong.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, what...what does this mean?" Zheng Shaohong was a little confused looking at the gold bar in his hand.
This gold bar is only worth ten strings of coins, not even as much as the gold used in the video.
"You bastard! This is a deal, how can you do this? I already said I'd pay a lot of money for it."
Li Shen scolded angrily.
