To be honest, what he dislikes the most is borrowing money from others. Ever since he was a child, he has always been the one being lent money. As long as someone opens his mouth to him, regardless of whether they are familiar with him or not, as long as the repayment date is determined, he usually
Once the money was handed over, nothing more happened.
This time, I had no choice but to borrow money from Zhu Heng. If I had the money, I would borrow it, and if I didn’t have the money, I would borrow it! But when I heard about a private job, Xie Changyuan was happy in his heart. It was better to earn it by himself than to borrow it from others. He kept thinking about it in his heart.
Always very nervous.
Zhu Heng continued, "There is a Zhengxing escort agency in Qingshan City next door. I was asked to help escort a escort a while ago. I guess this trip will not be easy. I haven't agreed to it yet. If you are willing, I can recommend you.
go."
Yamen official servants usually only do business, which is clearly stipulated by the law. If there is a official official who secretly works for private forces and accepts money, he will be severely punished if he is caught. However, Yun Chengshan is far away from the emperor, and the laws of the imperial court do not apply here.
If it cannot be implemented effectively, especially if the perpetrator is a public servant who knows the law and breaks the law, magistrates and counties usually turn a blind eye to this kind of private money-making, and over time it becomes the norm. As long as you don't make a big deal out of it, think about it.
No one stopped me no matter what I did.
This time, the Zhengxing Escort Bureau offered a higher salary than before. If Xie Changyuan made the trip in person, the money earned would be enough to pay for the sword making, and there might be a lot left over.
However, Xie Changyuan grasped the key point.
He narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "Why is this not a simple method?"
He wanted to make money, but he didn't want to get into trouble, especially since he heard that people from the Twelve Divine Palaces were looking for him. If he escorted escorts together, the target would be too obvious. If something happened, it would hurt others, so Xie Changyuan
I still maintain a cautious attitude in my heart.
Zhu Heng was also a cheerful person, he didn't hide anything, he just told the truth.
It turns out that there are three escort agencies in Qingshan City, namely Zhengxing Escort Agency, Weiyuan Escort Agency and Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Among them, Zhengxing Escort Agency is the oldest one with the longest history and has been passed down to the third generation of the family.
But it's a pity that the current head of the family is an upright person and is devoted to escorting. He never sends money to the yamen for support. But the other two families are different. They usually get close to the yamen and often give gifts to the magistrate. Over time, the three parties have become familiar with each other.
, they discussed how to destroy the Zhengxing Escort Agency.
No, through the cooperation of the three families, the business of the Zhengxing Escort Bureau is getting worse day by day. As long as the escorts they escort are robbed nine times out of ten, they will not only have to face several times the compensation when they come back, but also have to pay compensation to the escorts who died in the line of duty.
Funeral and settlement expenses for the teacher’s family.
As time went by, the Zhengxing Escort Bureau was unable to make ends meet, and the escorts in the Escort Bureau also took advantage of the situation and left the Escort Bureau one after another, turning to join other two companies.
Nowadays, although there are still three escort agencies operating in Qingshan City, Zhengxing Escort Agency is no longer functioning.
This time, I heard that the owner of the Zhengxing Escort Agency, Li Chuangxia, was cruel and accepted an order of escorts sent to Bailong City. I don’t know who the client of this escort was. I only heard that they were very important items. If they were lost, the Escort Agency
You have to lose all your family property and get out of Qingshan City completely.
Zhu Heng continued, "There are also masters of the fourth level of physical training in Qingshan City, but the Zhengxing Escort Bureau did not dare to invite them. It was probably because they were afraid that these people would take the money and make them restless on the road, so they came to Yun City to ask me for help. However,
, I am not a fool. If this escort is successfully delivered, the Zhengxing Escort Bureau will be able to turn around, but I will also offend the big shot next door, and I can't get enough for just a few taels of money."
"That's why you gave it to me by the way." Xie Changyuan raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Heng nodded in acquiescence.
This kind of feud involving the government is very common. It's just that those who don't send money will be squeezed out, and only those who flatter others can gain a firm foothold. No matter who is involved in this matter, even a body-training madman is not willing to get involved, let alone
The reward is only that little money.
But Xie Changyuan's situation is different. He is a person who travels far away. No matter where he passes, his identity is just a passerby. He is not afraid of offending anyone, and there is no one he can't afford to offend. However, there is only a county magistrate and two escort agencies.
Xie Changyuan was helpless.
What's more, he is still short of money now? As for the Twelve Divine Palaces, it is still one thing whether someone comes to chase him. Even if they come, Xie Changyuan's ability may not be able to cope with it.
After thinking over and over again, Xie Changyuan thought that this job could be considered, so he asked about the situation in detail.
"How far is Qingshan City from Bailong City?"
"Two hundred miles away, it takes six days to go back and forth."
"How much can you give me?"
"Twenty taels of silver."
"OK!"
Xie Changyuan made a decision on the spot and it was done!
Once the decision was made, Xie Changyuan accompanied Zhu Heng to the Yamen to ask for leave. The latter was also a smooth man. They didn't know each other without fighting, and they really got to know each other after a meal. So Zhu Heng rode his horse in person and prepared to take Xie Changyuan there.

However, Xie Changyuan's body, which had been refined with fine iron, already weighed more than three hundred kilograms. There was no horse in the entire Yamen stable that could carry him, and the situation was a bit embarrassing for a while.
"Although this brother is tall and tall, I didn't expect that his body and bones are so heavy. Even the good horses raised in the Yamen can't carry you!" The groom who was looking after the stable couldn't help but raised his thumb.
Xie Changyuan pressed his forehead, thinking that since refining his body with fine iron, he had his hair burned and was mistaken for a monk, and now he can't ride a horse because of his weight. Everything will go wrong this time out!
"It really doesn't work. Lao Zhu, you can ride forward and I can follow on foot." Xie Changyuan had no choice but to compromise.
Zhu Heng was naturally embarrassed. After some discussion, the two finally brought out a strong big green bull in the backyard.
The load-bearing capacity of animals like cattle is much better than that of horses. After all, cattle have thick limbs and legs that are not as long as horses. They have cultivated their brute strength in the fields all year round, so they are perfect for Xie Changyuan's mount.
Xie Changyuan patted the muscles on the big green bull, seemed quite satisfied, and immediately put an extra-large saddle on it with his own hands.
The two of them adjusted themselves, and Xie Changyuan raised his legs and stepped onto the big green bull. The latter seemed to bear an unexpected weight in an instant, and his waist and abdomen sank instantly, but then he arched back again.
Xie Changyuan had a big green bull on his crotch, following Zhu Heng, the head of the yamen, and the two of them walked on the street in a mighty manner, and they actually looked a bit majestic.
Along the way, no one thought this scene was funny. After all, Xie Changyuan was once a general. Even though he was riding on the back of an ox, he exuded a majesty that was more than enough to intimidate a group of civilians.
The two of them were silent all the way, silently driving out of the gate of Yun City, turning their heads and heading straight for Qingshan City!
