Chang Shi was walking in a hurry, and he and his family hurried out of the city before dawn, constantly urging the coachman to go faster. By the time the sun came out from the east, the small county town of Wenshui had long been invisible.
"Ada, is it necessary to leave so early? You guys made a fuss all night last night, and as soon as you went to bed, you had to get up and hurry up again, so you fell apart when you arrived in Chengdu!"
Chang Shi glared at his youngest son Chang Bin: "Sit down obediently. If you don't walk faster, you will be chased!"
"Who dares to chase us?" Chang Bin is eight years old this year and has a cute pink dot.
Chang Shi has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Chang Jie is taking care of his grandparents in his hometown. His daughter Rou Niang has left the court, and he has eight-year-old Chang Bin with him. Although Chang Bin is not a playboy, he has also learned a lot about power and authority.
The habit of being a powerful person. In the past six months, Changshi has been keeping him under house arrest and not allowed to run around. Many people have even forgotten that Changshi has such a son.
"Who dares to chase? There are too many!" Chang Shi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. The mountains were high and the forests were dense, and the trees had not yet withered. They were so lush that it was impossible to see whether there was anyone hiding inside:
"Bandits, robbers, bad guys, there is no good person in Wenshui. If I hadn't held them all back with this drink, they wouldn't have even left the city right now!"
"Chang Lang, you are also the county magistrate after all. It's better not to drive now, or let Su Ren send some of his caravan guards. It's really not safe for us servants to go on the road! I heard that Su Ren's caravan guards are better than
Yelang's army is very powerful."
"He? It's him I'm worried about!"
"call out……!"
A whistle suddenly sounded, and the coachman quickly pulled the reins of the carriage horse into his arms. The carriage suddenly stopped, and the people inside huddled together. Chang Shi struggled to push away the salute that was pressing on him, and there was a sword in his hand.
Outside the carriage, the servants looked around nervously, and the servants and servants huddled together tremblingly. Chang Yuan also raised his weapon: "Master, we encountered bandits!"
"Bandits? Not long ago, didn't Su Ren collect all the bandits in Wenshui? Why are they still here?"
Changshi doesn't know what to say. Should he call his master stupid? He does many things very smartly. Otherwise, how could he be a master? Should he be called smart? This obvious thing is in front of him, and he suddenly can't understand it. These mountains
The bandit might have been sent by Su Ren.
It was already autumn, and it was still a bit cold in the morning. Chang Shi tightened his clothes and turned around to see a man with a sinewy face in the middle of the road in front of him. He was wearing single clothes. He was carrying a huge ax on his shoulder. This ax was bigger than him.
The head is big, weighing at least thirty or forty pounds. The strong man is carrying it with one hand, as light as nothing.
"Hahaha..., after waiting for so many days, a fat sheep finally came. They say that people in Wenshui are rich, and it is true. They are all fat and oily. I don't know what kind of person I encountered today.
Look at the stuff on this carriage, it must be very fat!"
Chang Yuan swallowed: "Master, what should we do?"
Changshi knew that he couldn't run away this time. But he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and raised his fist at the man: "This good man, we are all merchants who come to Wenshui. All we want is money. As long as you can let him go."
We will give you as much money as you want!"
"Hahaha... After all, he is an official and can speak human language. If I had not known it earlier, I must have been deceived by your words." The strong man laughed: "Who doesn't know that Chang County Zun gets money from Su Ren every month?
The money I got back can't fit in an entire room. I'm a country boy and I've never seen any money. I'll make you laugh when I tell you. Keep it all and I'll let you go."
"You!" Chang Shi finally realized that he had met someone who knew something: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about! I also have more than a dozen nurses and servants here. If there is a fight, you will also be killed or injured!"
"Look at what the county magistrate said. Being a bandit, there is no reason why a bandit will not die. We live a life of licking blood with the blade of a knife. Death is a bad life. The county magistrate is different. People are delicate and fleshy. I am so big.
It won't be good if the ax clatters. Listen to my advice, money is an external thing, you can earn it back in the future, but if your life is gone, you will lose everything!"
Chang Bin poked his little head out of the carriage: "You little thieves, don't be so arrogant. If you know where we are, you dare to rob us. I will send troops to destroy you as soon as we arrive in Chengdu!" Before he could finish his words, he was pulled away by someone in the carriage.
He went in and covered his mouth.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that Mr. Chang County's young master is very courageous. Just because of this, I will leave you a hundred coins as travel expenses!" The big man always smiled and did not come close. He just held a big ax and stood far away.
Standing: "Mr. Chang County, have you thought about it? My brothers are impatient to wait. It's getting late and you have to hurry. Let's not delay here."
Chang Yuan and the guards, servants, servants, and servants all looked at Chang Shi, waiting for his plan. This was the most difficult time, saying whether to fight or not, wanting to fight even if he didn't, and feeling confused at all.
Chang Shi was also having a fierce inner struggle. It was hard to say whether his whole family would survive. If he handed over all the money he had saved this year, he would not be willing to do so. He looked back at the chaotic team of servants.
Hearing the cries of the servants and servants often made me feel confused.
"Tsuruo, give it to them! Money is something external to the body!"
Changshi let out a long sigh and became depressed: "Hero, I'll give it all to you, please let us pass!"
"That's ridiculous!" The big man stepped out of the way and got out of the way.
Chang Yuan quickly urged the coachman to move forward. A group of people protected the carriage, looking at the strong man standing on the roadside, and passed him fearfully. Chang Shi looked back unwillingly and glanced at the carriages containing property.
Su Ren was lying in the dense forest, watching everything quietly. He didn't dare to get too close, and he didn't hear what was said clearly. He only saw the people on both sides talking for a while, and the strong man actually let the common things go and left. He felt in his heart
strangeness.
"Xiao Jinzi, have the people who checked earlier come back? Is there any ambush?"
Hawking shook his head: "He hasn't come back yet, but this guy dares to rob someone by himself. He's quite courageous!"
Gou Tianming rolled over and came to Su Ren's side: "Sir, I've seen it. There are indeed dozens of people in front of us, all with guys. How about we save them all? These people are really ghosts. They rob property first and then kill people!"
"
"Who are they?"
"It's hard to say. They're not bandits in this area. One of the guards knew one of them and said he was from the former garrison. Since Hou Jian ran away, those garrison troops have also disappeared."
"These gangsters, my eldest brother deceived their lives and turned into robbers. It's really impossible to hold up the wall with mud."
Su Ren smiled slightly: "It seems that our Hou County Lieutenant is still determined to be evil. Lao Gou, take people to the front and kill that group of people. Remember, leave a few alive!"
"Understood!" Gou Tianming chuckled, turned around and left.
The big man laughed while carrying a big ax to the carriage containing his belongings. He cut the rope with the ax, opened the wooden box, and made a squeaking sound from his mouth. He immediately reached out and put his hand into his arms. He was busy working hard, and suddenly
I felt someone behind me. I turned my head hurriedly. After seeing this, I lost all other thoughts.
"Son, you are too brave to do business alone!" Huo Jin stood beside Su Ren, holding his red tassel gun.
"You! You!..." The big man couldn't finish his words, as if he had seen a ghost, he kept backing up and had to stop because his waist was pressed against the carriage.
Su Ren sighed: "Hou Jian is so evil that he actually cares about Chang Shi's money. Tell me, where is Hou Jian?"
"Yes! I don't know!" The big man's legs began to tremble. The scene that Lao Jun watched will never be forgotten in his life.
"I'm not satisfied with this answer. If I'm not satisfied, I'll be very angry. You know my methods. If you don't want to die without a body, it's best to tell the truth. Maybe I can spare your life!" Su Ren looked at the big man with a smile on his face: "
I know that Hou Jian is nearby, as well as Liu Wen's son Liu Jun. He really agreed with that sentence. The most dangerous place is the safest. If you hadn't wanted to rob Chang Shi, I would have ignored my own eyes.
underground."
"Don't look at it. All of your people have been taken care of by my people by now. You are the only one left. You don't need to die for Hou Jian. Just tell me!"
The big man knelt on the ground with a thud: "Sir, please spare my life. I was forced to follow Hou Jianshe to rebel. I have a family and can't go back. I can only obey his orders. Please let me go, sir! If I knew that you were also interested in these things."
, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn’t dare to compete with your husband!”
"Fuck you, my eldest brother came here because he discovered the people you were spying on outside the city. It is my eldest brother who gave me this little money. I don't like this bad money!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su doesn't like it. The villain talks nonsense and his head is broken!"
"Okay, get up, if you knock your head again it will really be bad!"
The sun has already risen. This road is an official road in Wenshui. Travelers and merchants often pass by, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time.
"Where is Hou Jian? What does he need the money for?"
"Hou Jian didn't come! He really didn't come!" The big man said sincerely: "He said he wanted to send the money to Huainan and ask the King of Huainan for protection. I don't know anything else. Really, I don't know anything."
Su Ren nodded: "This is the truth. Get up. What's your name?"
"The villain Huang Shisan lives in Huangjia Village in Shilipu outside the city. My father Huang Ba!"
"Oh, okay, do you want to work with me from now on? There is no future with Hou Jian!"
"Hey!" Huang Shisan nodded quickly, with a face full of joy: "I have long wanted to follow my husband, but I have no chance. I still have a few brothers, so I will look for them all and join my husband!"
"Okay! Go! Come to Laojun to watch in the evening!"
Huang Shisan knelt down and kowtowed a few more times, then got up and ran towards the forest.
It didn't take long for Gou Tianming to bring someone back. Blood was still dripping from the knife edge and a smile was on his face.
Su Ren nodded: "How are you, brothers?"
"Two injured, nothing serious!"
"I'll give you a mission. Take someone to secretly protect Chang Shi's family to Chengdu. He can't die yet. With him here, we can do things easily in Chengdu. When we get to Chengdu, contact Cui Jiuming and ask him to prepare a place for us.
After finishing these things, you can stay there and wait for us."
Gou Tianming nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I know how to do it!"
"Very good, today's business is over, let's drive home!" (To be continued)
