In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Guodong sent someone to lead the camel team of 300 camels into the city. They settled it in a large yard of the Fan family. At the same time, there were other recruited camel teams as well as the Fan family's own camel team.
.
There are thousands of camels in total and more than 300 people live here.
The goods and personnel had already been arranged, but there were not enough camels, so they never set off.
In the evening of the third day, the people who went to Jiexiu overnight to investigate came back.
"Old Zhao, the situation is basically the same as what you said. Your niece's family is indeed what she said. Because they refused to give up ten acres of paddy field, they were framed by the Chu family and the whole family was imprisoned. Within a few years, they died in prison. Only she
A person was sold to a brothel. Later, she was bought by her husband's family and made a child bride. Her husband's family also went to Jizhou to investigate. There is indeed such a village in the local area, but they don't interact with outsiders very much.
.But it is definitely a camel caravan business.”
Fan Yongdou changed the subject and continued: "The strange thing is that when our people arrived, they found that the place was in a mess. People from the government were there, and many soldiers from the guard station came."
Zhao Guodong asked: "What happened?"
Fan Yongdou said: "A few days ago, the farmers and tenants there suddenly rioted. It is said that a group of bandits came and took out the IOUs, house deeds, and land deeds in the house and burned them. As a result, the tenants took advantage of the fire and rushed into Chu Chu.
The family robbed property and set fire, burning the Chu family’s yard to ashes.”
"The old man of the Chu family and his eldest son were beaten to death. More than seventy servants were killed. Someone was also killed in the inner house, and the female volume was also humiliated. When they arrived, the government was arresting people with guardsmen.
.”
Fan Yongdou said: "We don't know which way they came. Do you think it's possible for your niece to stop by and take revenge?"
Zhao Guodong pondered and said: "It's hard to say, their people are scary just looking at them. I think all the guys in his family have seen blood, and their aura is relatively cold. Could it be that the bandits have stopped working and are in the local area?"
Clean up and settle down. You have to be careful not to kidnap the goods."
Fan Yongdou said: "That family has a big business in Jizhou. Zhuangzi has three thousand acres of paddy fields. There are five hundred people in the clan. If they escape, the monks can't escape from the temple. They can't abduct goods. It's just a bit mysterious, no.
I know what heel is. Several nearby villages have only moved here in the past two or three years. I don’t know much about them.”
】
"But in the business world, no one is clean. Now that Ming Dynasty has everything to do, no one has a backer. If we really find out, no one's butt is clean. If we have to dig out the other party's background, I'm afraid we will turn against each other.
No, we don’t want to cooperate in any business anymore.”
Zhao Guodong said: "Master, I don't dare to guarantee this. You can make your decision later."
Fan Yongdou said: "I'm not afraid that they were bandits before, I'm just afraid that they were spies from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. After all, we are all in the business of beheading people and ransacking homes.
Zhao Guodong said: "Be careful with the Wannian Ship. Why don't we wait and see if a new camel team comes here. After all, spring is about to begin."
"We are running out of time to continue recruiting the camel team, and we may not be able to recruit them yet. How about this, let them transport the luggage and supplies of the camel team, and leave other supplies to our own people. They will never be able to
Just run away for some dry food and drinking water," Fan Yongdou said.
Zhao Guodong said: "This is a good idea. They don't know what we are transporting. We are not afraid of them escaping with the goods."
"Then let's make a decision. The materials and manpower have been prepared for a long time. Let them set off tomorrow." Fan Yongdou finally made up his mind. After all, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and he did not want to break his promise in the first transaction with Daikin.
.
Zhao Guodong came out of Fan Yongdou's place and went directly to the big yard. He first found the stewards of each camel team and the personnel sent by his family this time, and explained everything first. Then he went to find Hong'er and Zhuzhu.
"My old face is quite useful, and the master agreed. You can follow me this time and go to Shenyang for two months. We will pay three taels of silver for each camel. Feed and food for humans and animals along the way.
We've included the food, so you don't have to spend any money. You can see if you're satisfied with it," Zhao Guodong said.
"Satisfied, satisfied. The price is very good. Food and shelter are taken care of. One camel is used for two months, and three taels of silver for each one is the rest. If this is not satisfactory, then isn't it too ignorant?
." Zhuzi immediately said in a dogged tone.
Old Zhao became happy when he saw Zhu Zhu's promise. But he still said earnestly: "The Fan family is a wealthy family in Shanxi merchants. It's not easy for you two to have such a good relationship. You must deliver the goods entrusted by the master."
Send it to the place safely. Along the way, you must have a good relationship with the other camel teams and the Fan family. After all, this is the first time you have cooperated, and the Fan family lacks trust in you. But once you are familiar with it, you just need to
Once everything is done well, there will be many opportunities to make money from the Fan family in the future."
"Don't worry, I still understand the stakes. We will definitely handle the master's affairs beautifully along the way. Uncle, when will we set off."
"I'll load the goods for you early tomorrow morning. We'll set off before noon."
"Ah, so urgent." Zhuzi was a little surprised.
"Is there any problem?" Zhao Guodong asked.
"No problem, as long as we load all the goods, we can set off at any time." Zhu Zhu said immediately, as if he was afraid that the business would be lost.
"Hahaha, okay, please pay attention to safety along the way. When we get back, I will give you a drink to celebrate." Zhao Guodong said with a laugh.
After seeing Zhao Guodong off, Zhu Zhu frowned.
"What's wrong? What did you see?" Hong'er asked.
"They actually don't trust us, but they can't find the camel team at this time. After all, the snowstorms are still coming from time to time, and they can't wait until spring. The reason why they asked us to leave immediately is to prevent us from delivering the message."
Zhuzhu said.
"So what, the map of the city has been sent away. Our purpose is to mix with them and go to Shenyang together. Otherwise, without an identity, it will be exposed directly. Our purpose has been achieved. No matter what they are doing." Hong
Er curled his lips and said.
"You don't know, there are hidden dangers in this. If we go to the land of Jiannu, it will be troublesome if they betray us to Jiannu."
Hong'er pondered: "You are worried that they will finish using us and use the hands of the slaves to kill the donkeys."
"After we leave, An Sanxi will come here soon. The smuggling power in Zhangjiakou will disappear from now on. However, the real person in charge of their camel team may have received an explanation from Fan Yongdou before he left. The biggest thing
The danger may lie after arriving in Shenyang."
Hong'er frowned, this is a big trouble. We want to take advantage of them, and they also plan to take advantage of us.
"Brother Zhuzi, what should we do?"
