Chu Xiu asked Han Bao to send people to rob the caravan, but Chu Xiu only wanted to kill Zhang Quan and other stewards. He was still prepared to keep the others, otherwise there would be no one in the caravan. He
What's the point of this caravan?
In fact, not many of them died, but the remaining people seemed to have been frightened out of their courage and did not dare to continue walking. This made Chu Xiu sneer in his heart. His cheap father was really treating Chu
He doesn't care about family matters. These servants have been used to this way, and he doesn't care about them.
Looking at everyone present, Chu Xiu said coldly: "Recuperate for a while? Come up with a countermeasure? This is simply a joke!
It's not you who died, you didn't even get hurt at all, so what's the point of cultivating yourself?
As for countermeasures, the bandits in Shangmang Mountain in the north and south have been causing trouble for decades. Even the Wei County officials and the Beiyan court can't control them. You still want countermeasures? You are a bunch of trash. If you are afraid, just say it, what excuse are you looking for!"
The members of the caravan all had angry faces on their faces, but Chu Xiu was still the second son of the Chu family after all. They were not even in charge, and they did not dare to challenge Chu Xiu. They just stayed silent with angry faces on their faces.
Chu Xiu sneered: "You think it's over if you don't speak? With so much business in the Chu family, the caravan's treatment is the highest.
Other handymen's monthly salary is only one or two taels, your caravan's monthly salary is at least 10 taels, and the manager can even earn one hundred taels!
The Chu family gave you so much monthly money, not to let you become the uncle. You are afraid of death and don’t want to go, but there are many people who want to go! Gao Bei!"
Chu Xiu shouted, and Gao Bei immediately came out and said: "The villain is here."
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Go and tell the servants in the Chu family's miscellaneous room that if any of them dare to risk their lives, my caravan will dare to ask for it. The minimum monthly salary is ten taels. As long as they return successfully every time, half of the caravan's income will be
As their reward."
Chu Xiu turned his attention to the rest of the people in the caravan and said calmly: "As for you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to work hard in the caravan. Go find Butler Liu and ask him to reassign you a place. Of course, Butler Liu is still lying on the bed now.
, I guess I don’t have time to care about you anymore.”
The expressions of the people in the caravan suddenly changed. They did not expect that Chu Xiu would do so brilliantly and would kick them all out of the caravan at once.
To be honest, among the many businesses of the Chu family, the caravan's treatment is indeed the highest, and they have been walking for several years without encountering any big risks. Only this time they were scared.
Just because he gave up such a good position this time, the person who was determined just now began to hesitate.
Moreover, compared to when Zhang Quan was in charge of the caravan, the Second Young Master was very generous and was even willing to give half of the caravan's proceeds as a reward.
Although this half-percent seems to be very small, even less is shared among hundreds of people, but the income of each caravan can be thousands of taels. On average, they can also get a few taels of silver.
It's already a lot for them.
At this moment, the person who was the first to jump out to question Chu Xiu was the first to switch sides and quickly begged: "Second Young Master, it was just the villain who was deceived by lard. The Chu family will not treat me poorly.
Please give me a chance, Second Young Master."
Chu Xiu knew nothing about the caravan. Now that the stewards were dead, it was naturally impossible for him to really drive them all out of the caravan.
So Chu Xiu just said calmly: "You only have one chance. If you don't seize it again, don't blame me for being unkind. Anyone who is willing to stay in the caravan now will follow me."
Of the more than seventy caravan members present, only a dozen were so frightened that they would rather leave without being treated like a caravan. As for the others, they all followed Chu Xiu to prepare and start again.
The charter of the caravan is actually not too difficult. It is nothing more than exchanging what is needed, selling the special products of Wei County to Yan State, making a lot of money, and then bringing some special products from Yan State back to Wei County.
It's just that if you take the main road, although it is safe, it will take too long. You can't get around Shangmang Mountain in a month.
If you cross Shangmang Mountain directly, you can go back and forth twice in a month if you go quickly.
This time Chu Xiu led the team. He had already said hello to Han Bao and asked Han Bao's men to cooperate with him in performing a play for the Chu family and other bandits in Shangmang Mountain.
of.
After entering Shangmang Mountain, Chu Xiu took another trade route that Zhang Quan and the others had walked. Along the way, the servants of the caravan seemed to be frightened, fearing that there would be another bandit.
But the reality is that what you are afraid of will come. At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came: "Young men, come out, the business is coming! Kill the people, leave the things behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of bandits sprang out from the dense forest and surrounded the caravan.
At this time, those people in the caravan were almost regretting it to death.
If they had known this, they would not have continued to seek death with Chu Xiu, but now they have not received the money, but their lives are almost gone!
But at this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said to Gao Bei: "Get the kerosene and prepare to light the fire!"
Gao Bei nodded, opened the carriage containing the goods, and opened a clay pot on the top of the carriage. A pungent smell came out of it. It was a jar of kerosene, and Gao Bei took it out from his arms at this time.
A piece of flint can ignite the fire oil at any time.
Chu Xiu pointed to the clay pot and said solemnly: "Everyone, there is such a fire oil pot on every carriage. You seek wealth and harm your life, but I, a member of the Chu family, will not let others slaughter me!
At worst, I will burn the goods with fire, and then I will fight to the death with you, and you won’t be able to get anything!"
The people in the caravan looked at Chu Xiu with a look of surprise in their eyes. Apparently they didn't expect that the second young master had such a skill.
But what if you encounter a bandit with a bad temper and would rather kill them than take this thing away?
Among the bandits, a strong man carrying a machete came out. This man was known to Chu Xiu. He was one of Han Bao's men and had the strength of the Body Tempering Realm. His name was unknown, but the other bandits called him Feng.
Yi Dao means that his sword skills are very fast and he often kills people with only one knife.
Feng Yidao pretended not to know Chu Xiu. He sneered and said, "I'm too young to play this trick with you. Do you believe it or not, I would rather not have these things than kill you?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "What's the point of it? You good man, why don't you compete with me? If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want. If I win, you guys will let us leave. How about this?"
"
Feng Yidao laughed and said: "A young man with no strength wants to fight with me? Since you want to die, then I will help you!"
The other members of the caravan frowned. No wonder they were worried. In fact, the second young master had never been known for his strength in the Chu family.
In the entire Chu family, only the eldest son is recognized as having a very good martial arts talent, and he has now reached the blood coagulation realm.
Chu Xiu dismounted, took out the short sword in his hand, cupped his hand towards Feng Yidao, and attacked Feng Yidao directly.
Chu Xiu is good at the art of sharp swords, and Feng Yidao is not an ordinary bandit. He was born in the Thirty-Six Giant Bandits in the North, and his martial arts inheritance is not inferior to that of disciples of the sect, but he is also good at sharp swords.
But now that the two of them were acting, it was naturally impossible for them to use the sharp sword technique that could kill the enemy with one move, so they started fighting like ordinary warriors.
There were almost no real warriors among the servants of the Chu family, and most of them had only learned some superficial boxing and kicking skills, so in their opinion, the fight between the two sides was quite fierce.
After fighting dozens of moves, Feng Yidao deliberately let go. Chu Xiu directly chopped off the machete in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "I accept the concession."
Feng Yidao's acting skills were pretty good. He showed a depressed look on his face and said, "Okay, okay, let's go. I didn't expect that this young master like you is still quite capable. I underestimated my enemy."
Upon hearing this, the people in the caravan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cheered collectively.
But at this time Chu Xiu said: "Wait a minute, this good man."
Feng Yidao frowned and said, "What else does your kid have to do?"
The people in the caravan are also very puzzled. They want to stay as far away from these bandits as possible. Why is the second young master trying to get in front of them?
Chu Xiugong cupped his hands and said, "I want to negotiate a business deal with you, a good man."
Feng Yidao pointed at himself and said, "Did I hear you right? You want to discuss business with me, a bandit?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, we are just talking about business.
This caravan transported this batch of goods to Yan State and could sell them for thousands of taels. But in fact, if this batch of goods falls into your hands, you can only turn them into a few hundred taels based on your ability.
This is a gap of ten times. I am now willing to spend one thousand taels of silver to ask all the heroes to escort my caravan out of Shangmang Mountain. After all, the trip for all of you heroes has not been in vain, and it is even more serious than ordinary murders.
You can earn more money from goods."
Feng Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a good and interesting idea, sir. I agree!"
The people in the caravan who were present all looked at each other. They had been traveling to Shangmang Mountain for more than ten years, and this was the first time they had seen this practice. But after thinking about it carefully, they really didn't feel too bad.
Although one thousand taels of silver was a lot, in the past they had to hide from bandits, but now they were directly escorted out of Shangmang Mountain by these bandits, and the time was much shorter.
It was only at this moment that everyone seemed to realize that the second young master seemed to have really changed. He was completely different from the second young master in their impressions.
Chu Xiu's performance was very successful. He had completely established his prestige in the caravan, and Han Bao could also spread the word about this matter and let other bandits know the feasibility of formulating such rules.
