When someone made a mistake before, it was this look that killed that person.
At this moment, Tiragon did not expect that the matter would turn out like this. He thought that at most he would be scolded by his cousin, and the rest would be over. However, he did not expect that these Tang people would be so hateful and force his cousin to kill him.
"Someone, come and pull Tiragon down..."
The prefect really couldn't say the last two words. After all, this was his cousin, and in his opinion it was not a big deal. If he just killed him like that, how would he survive in this area in the future?
"Sometimes you should make a decisive decision. If this person continues to live, it will cause you a lot of trouble. Our General Zhangsun knows about this matter and will never let it go. If the two countries really go to war, I believe your court will also investigate how this matter came about. Will he really be the one to die then?"
Li Xiang saw that the prefect couldn't make up his mind, so he could only add bricks and tiles to help the prefect and add fuel to the fire, which he could still do easily.
"Pull him down and cut him off."
The prefect finally made up his mind. If he didn't kill this kid, as Mr. Huang said, the court would really investigate. Not only would this kid's life be in danger, but in order to give an explanation to the Tang court, the lives of his entire family might also be in danger. He couldn't let this one bad apple spoil the whole pot of porridge. Besides, we are not just one pot of porridge, that's the life of a whole family.
"Big Brother..."
The cloth on Tiragon's mouth was finally untied. This was also Li Xiang's request. His screams must serve as a warning to the people around him. Don't make things difficult for our Tang Dynasty merchants in the future. If you continue to do this, then we will see if your necks are as hard as the prefect's cousin's.
No matter how capable you are, or how many connections you have, can your connections be stronger than that of this kid Tiragon?
Although several yamen runners dragged the man away, they were unable to take action. However, Li Xiang and his men would never leave unless they saw the man's head.
In desperation, the prefect waved his hand viciously. His subordinates had followed him for a long time and knew his temper. If they didn't take action now, they would lose their positions later. The prefect hated people who disobeyed orders the most.
Tiragon's dog head was chopped off like this. The scream before death was extremely tragic. People in the surrounding Wa City could hear it. Now there were at least a thousand people gathered around. They had all heard about the trouble caused by the Tang Dynasty merchants.
They had originally wanted to come and watch the fun. After all, in their eyes, the Tang Dynasty merchants were a group of profiteers who had taken all their money. But they didn't expect to see the prefect's cousin being beheaded.
"My dear shopkeepers, please understand clearly. If you are bullied in a foreign country in the future, you must report it to our border guards upon your return. Only in this way can we protect your interests. If you do not report it, the court will not be able to redeem you for the losses you have suffered."
Li Xiang told this to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and also spread it through the mouths of the people around him: If you make things difficult for our merchants of the Tang Dynasty without reason, don't blame us for being rude to you.
After hearing this, the prefect's face changed from bright to gloomy. He felt really embarrassed today. If you hadn't threatened to go to war, you would never have chopped off this cousin's head.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
This was a cry from the heart of the merchants. They did not have a high status in the Tang Dynasty before, and they did not think that the Tang Dynasty court could win this land back. They did not expect that the people of the Tang Dynasty court would actually do this today. When they go back to pay taxes in the future, they will be willing to pay taxes from the bottom of their hearts.
Only if we pay more money can the Tang Dynasty court train more troops. Only if we have more troops can we continue to conquer the world and make all places submit to the Tang Dynasty.
Take the city of Wa under our feet for example. Although they did not fight with the Tang Dynasty, they were very scared when they heard of the Tang Dynasty's reputation. Otherwise, how could the prefect suffer such a big loss and kill his own cousin? It was because he was afraid that General Changsun would lead his troops to punish him.
"Now that this matter has been resolved, I will no longer accompany you. Sir Huang, please do as you please."
The prefect had to think about how to explain to his family after he killed his cousin. According to the original rules, he should have treated Mr. Huang well. After all, Mr. Huang was a member of the Tang Dynasty court, but he really didn't have the mood to do so now.
Li Xiang also knew that the other person was in a bad mood. If we go to his house to drink at this time, maybe they will add rat poison to our drink. So Li Xiang also bowed to Mr. Huang. This guy was quite cooperative.
Li Xiang gave a look and his men went over to invite Cao Lian.
After returning to the hotel, the previous banquet was naturally not edible, so Li Xiang asked someone to replace it with a new one.
"Your Highness, after what happened just now, I have an idea."
Chang Sun Ze had an expression of thinking about something all the way, and Li Xiang naturally knew that this guy had some ideas.
"Just say it."
Li Xiang said while washing his hands: These people present here are not as hygienic as I am. Although I have told them many times, these people still don't take it seriously. It is quite difficult to find a towel to wipe themselves.
"We have merchants in all the surrounding countries. Should we set up some official agencies there? If anything goes wrong, we can have dedicated officials to negotiate on their behalf. I just spoke with a few merchants. When they suffer losses abroad, they often suffer the consequences themselves and have no way to negotiate with the local authorities. The main reason is that the local authorities don't take them seriously at all."
After hearing what Chang Sunze said, Li Xiang nodded in satisfaction. Who would have thought that a playboy in Chang'an City could come up with such an idea? Isn't this the system of embassies in modern society?
"Your idea is truly extremely necessary. This prince also supports it. Please hurry up and write a petition to the capital. This prince will sign it with you."
