Han Bao is a rough man, but he is not an idiot. He can naturally see the good and bad of the plan proposed by Chu Xiu.
In the past, there were people like this among the Thirty-Six Giant Bandits in the North who specialized in giving them advice. There were even several leaders of the Thirty-six Giant Bandits in the North who were such deep-minded and calculating people.
If Ma Kuo hadn't told him Chu Xiu's identity before, Han Bao would have wanted to recruit Chu Xiu into their village.
Although Chu Xiu's strength is not worth mentioning, based on what he said today, Chu Xiu is qualified to make terms with Han Bao.
"By the way, boy Chu Xiu, you gave me such an idea, but I still don't know what you want."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. I also have a caravan in the Chu family. I hope that my caravan can enter and leave Shangmang Mountain unimpeded. And since I have cooperated with you, Boss Han, I also hope that I
When I need you to kill someone for me, Boss Han, you can take action, Boss Han."
Han Bao's slightly ferocious face showed a smile that was half a smile and said: "The first one is no problem. Although my thirty-six giant bandits in the North are still bandits, they also pay attention to the morality of the world. Since you give me
I have come up with such a good idea, so I will naturally agree to your terms.
But the second one is, are you going to use me, Han Bao, as your thug? Just such a piece of news is not enough!"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Cooperation can only be considered as cooperation. Of course, I can give Boss Han more than this.
My Chu family is a local leader in Tongzhou Prefecture. We also have an inn business in Tongzhou Prefecture. Most of the caravans traveling to and from Tongzhou Prefecture stay in our Chu family’s inn. I can find out all their information, including their plans to leave.
The route, the things carried, etc.”
Han Bao's eyes suddenly lit up. If he had this information, then as long as his copycat took action, it would not be in vain.
At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, in a few days I will send you, Boss Han, news about the Chu family's caravan. If you try to rob and kill them, I will give you a meeting gift, Boss Han."
Han Bao frowned and said, "You want me to rob your Chu family's caravan? What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a cold light and said: "That is the Chu family's caravan, not 'my' caravan!"
Han Bao and Ma Kuo looked at each other, and their hearts trembled.
In terms of ruthlessness, bandits like them are not as ruthless as these so-called disciples of aristocratic families, who are so ruthless in their attacks on their own people, let alone others.
Boss Han agreed to Chu Xiu's cooperation conditions, and Chu Xiu agreed with the other party on their contact information and returned to Tongzhou Mansion. Gao Bei was also sent back by Ma Kuo's men.
Seeing Chu Xiu again, Gao Bei almost cried.
Facing these bandits all day long, Gao Bei could be said to have lived like a year, fearing that he would make the bandits unhappy and be chopped off by them.
Seeing Gao Bei's appearance, Chu Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. Although Gao Bei was conscientious in his work, he was too timid.
After entering the city, Chu Xiu returned directly to the Chu family, but at this time there was a group of people busy in front of the Chu family's gate, loading boxes of goods into the car, as if they were about to set off.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiu's expression suddenly darkened.
There have been no caravans coming in or out of the Chu family recently, there is only one caravan leading to Yan State, so these people will know who they are without asking.
But the problem is that now this caravan is under my control. As a result, when I am not here, these people are ready to set off. It is really like what Gao Bei said. I am afraid that the people in this caravan have no intention of listening to me from the beginning.
if.
"Who asked you to leave?" Chu Xiu asked with a gloomy face.
A caravan steward in his forties trotted over with a humble smile on his face. He saluted Chu Xiu and said, "The villain Zhang Quan is the caravan steward and has met the second young master."
Zhang Quan's attitude was not arrogant, it was even a bit cowardly, but Chu Xiu still said coldly: "Who is in charge of this caravan now?"
Zhang Quan smiled and said: "Of course it is under your control, Second Young Master."
Chu Xiu looked directly at Zhang Quan and said solemnly: "Since it is under my control, who allowed you to load the goods and set off now? How much money did you sell for the last batch of goods? What did you bring back? What's next for this batch of goods?
What are you planning to transport? Have you discussed this with me?"
Zhang Quan lowered his head and said in a humble manner: "Second Young Master, please forgive me. However, the Second Young Master was not in the house at that time, and I could not find anyone to discuss it with, so I went to notify the head of the family, and after getting the permission of the head of the family, I
Only then did he leave.
Time waits for no one, and if you delay the caravan's time, you will waste money. But don't worry, Second Young Master, the villain has been in charge of the caravan for so many years, and there has never been a single mistake.
Of course, if you are really dissatisfied, then wait until the villain comes back this time and let the Second Young Master do whatever you want."
At this time, many people from the Chu family had gathered around the gate of the Chu family, and everyone looked at Chu Xiu with a joking look.
Any idiot can see that although Zhang Quan's attitude was extremely low-key and humble, he made it clear that he did not give Chu Xiu face, nor did he give him the opportunity to intervene in the caravan.
However, compared with the previous arrogant Butler Liu, although Zhang Quan was just a manager of the caravan, he traveled all over the country and his attitude was very smooth.
Now in front of everyone, his attitude has been set so low, and he is even talking about the interests of Chu Zongguang and the entire caravan. What can Chu Xiu do to him?
Beat him up without reason? He is not Butler Liu, because he said the wrong thing and was caught by Chu Xiu.
Moreover, even if Chu Xiu was really crazy enough to attack him without any reason, someone would stop him in public, and Chu Xiu might even lose his position as caravan manager because of this incident.
There was a cold glint in Chu Xiu's eyes, and he walked over and patted Zhang Quan on the shoulder, whispering: "Manager Zhang, right? Very good, you did a good job, I just hope you don't regret it."
Zhang Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he smiled humbly and said: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for the compliment. I will never regret doing things for the Chu family."
Chu Xiu said calmly: "As long as you don't regret it, Manager Zhang, I wish you a good journey."
Zhang Quan frowned, why did the words 'have a good journey' sound so awkward? But he didn't care, he was already on the Third Young Master's side, and was destined to be with the unpopular Second Young Master.
If you are not a stranger, you will be offended if you offend, it is not a big deal.
The rest of the Chu family who were watching also secretly smiled and shook their heads. Chu Xiu was still a bit young, and was left speechless by an old man like Zhang Quan.
After the crowd dispersed, Chu Xiu took Gao Bei back to his courtyard with a gloomy face.
Just as Gao Bei was about to say something, he saw Chu Xiu's gloomy expression instantly return to normal. He asked Gao Bei: "Can you find out the route of the caravan?"
Gao Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course, the caravan must be kept in the Chu family for record every time it sets off, so that we can estimate where the caravan has arrived at each time. Once the caravan returns overtime, we will
Even if you go looking for it, it’s not a secret and you can easily see it.”
Chu Xiu took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, made a strange mark on it and gave it to Gao Bei, saying: "Go and get the caravan's route map, and put it in the chaos three miles north of the city.
Among the rocks."
Although Gao Bei was an honest man, he was not stupid. He could probably guess what Chu Xiu wanted to do, which made him shudder.
But he was already on Chu Xiu's side, and he had no choice but to do whatever Chu Xiu asked him to do, otherwise, he would have already felt the consequences from Chu Xiu's ruthless way of doing things.
At this time, Zhang Quan's caravan had already left the city. One of the stewards came to Zhang Quan's side and said with a frown: "Old Zhang, you have offended the Second Young Master to death today. I have heard people say that the Second Young Master was
How do you deal with Butler Liu in family discussions? After this second young master came back from the Nanshan mining area, he was different from the previous second young master."
Zhang Quan said indifferently: "Of course I know, but don't forget how many benefits we have received from Third Young Master over the years, including that time when we were tricked and bought a bunch of fake medicines.
But the Third Young Master and the Second Madam helped us cover it up.
We are all servants of the Chu family, but it is not certain who will belong to the Chu family in the future. Now that we have joined forces, don’t be half-hearted. If something goes wrong, the second lady and the third young master will help us deal with it.
.
Just like today, there is nothing wrong with my attitude. Chu Xiu dares to kill me? The Chu family is a big family. Since it is a big family, we must follow the rules. As long as we don't break the rules, then Chu Xiu will do something.
Can’t reach us.”
The steward nodded, but still felt a little uneasy.
