The actions of the Huainan merchants reminded Su Ren of a famous saying, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He came yesterday morning and left this morning. The carriages had just been unloaded and started to be loaded again.
Su Ren sent him off in person, with a look of regret on his face: "Now that Mr. Liu is gone, there won't be any other merchants coming to Jiangsu City, right? They say that Huainan is a rich country, why can't you even get out this little money? I
Is the price too high?”
Liu Hong waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, it has nothing to do with Mr. Su. It's just that the money brought this time is too little. Don't worry, Mr. Su. Since I agreed to support you, I should try my best. I will report to my father when I go back this time and be more prepared."
Come back with some money."
"If Mr. Liu really comes, I still hope that Mr. Liu will open a business for me!" Su Ren went to Liu Hong and said, "As long as Mr. Liu comes again, how about giving Mr. Liu a set for free?"
"Hahaha..." Liu Hong laughed: "Thank you so much!"
Sang Yuji came over, glanced at Su Ren, saluted, and said to Liu Hong: "Master, everything is ready, can you leave?"
Liu Hong nodded, turned around and cupped his hands to Su Rengong: "Mr. Su, take care, I'll say goodbye. When Mr. Su arrives in Shouchun soon, I will entertain Mr. Su well."
The vast fleet of carriages and horses headed east along the road. This time there was no cavalry escort, so walking in the open wilderness looked a bit desolate. Although the convoy was huge, compared with the desolate Jianghuai River, it was not attractive at all. It cannot be said.
It is said that Liu Hong did not bring sincerity this time. At least when he left Huainan Kingdom, he still really wanted to buy real estate in Jiangsu, so he brought so many carriages and horses. But Su Ren's prank made Liu Hong change
idea.
"Brother, do you want..." Hawking suddenly appeared from behind Su Ren and murmured mysteriously towards Liu Hong's motorcade: "It seems they have a lot of stuff, it's worth a try."
Su Renyi glared: "Get lost! This is the border of Jiangsu. If something like this happens, those merchants really won't come!"
"Then we will do it on the border of Huainan Kingdom. Our brothers guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Not far away, Su Ren found Shi Bao looking at him and Huo Jin with a giggle, and immediately understood who had come up with this bad idea. He ignored Huo Jin, pointed at Shi Bao, and said to Huang Shisan and Man Niu: "Go and arrest that kid.
Beat me hard!"
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Shi Bao ran away. Hawking shouted: "It was my idea and had nothing to do with Xiao Bao!"
"Hmph!" Su Ren snorted coldly: "You are the only one with a brain like yours who can come up with such a method. After dealing with him, I will deal with you later."
Shi Bao's screams could be heard throughout the construction site. It was really miserable, and those who heard it were terrified. Han Qing wanted to ask for mercy, but felt speechless. After thinking about it, he said to Su Ren: "Since the things here have been
Now, shouldn’t it be time for us to set off?”
Su Ren shook his head: "If you want to beg for mercy, just say it. Don't change the subject. This kid is getting worse and worse. If he continues like this, there will be nothing he dares to do. Beat him, beat him hard! I will fight for you and me today."
Sister, your brother-in-law will teach you a lesson."
"Brother, please forgive me..."
Shi Bao was severely beaten, and received a full thirty lashes on his buttocks. Huang Shisan hit him hard, and the skin was bruised and bloody. Shi Bao was carried back by Huo Jin and Li Gan. The medical officer had already
Waiting in the room, when someone comes in, he immediately gets busy.
After everything was dealt with, Shi Bao lay on the couch and groaned in pain. Hawking said angrily: "Brother is so cruel, he is going to destroy Xiao Bao!"
Li Gan stood aside, looked at Hawking, then at Shi Bao, and was about to speak. Shi Bao suddenly said: "Third brother, go get me some water, I'm a little thirsty."
Li Gan quickly went to find water, but Shi Bao said again: "We don't have it in the house, go to the kitchen to get it!"
Li Gan left the room and went to the kitchen to get water. Hawking walked to the table, grabbed the teapot and tried it: "There is water! I'll pour it for you."
Shibao Ninja Pain: "Stop working, let me tell you something. Big brother has agreed to our plan. You go and prepare troops and horses. I will be here soon."
"Ah! This..."
"Quick, if you don't go, those guys will leave."
"I'll go find the third child right away...!"
"Don't! The third child is from a general's family. Unlike us, only we can do this kind of thing. Go quickly! It's too late, and my beating will be in vain!"
Huo Jin still hesitated, and after Shi Bao's repeated urging, he finally went out. After Huo Jin left, Li Gan came back, handed the water to Shi Bao, and looked around: "Brother is gone?"
"Yeah!" Shi Bao nodded while drinking water: "You should also take a rest. I want to rest."
Li Gan did not move, looked at Shi Bao and said: "We want to go together, we are brothers!"
Shi Bao smiled bitterly: "Where to go? Where else can I go like this?"
Li Gan said: "I can see that Su Zhonglang beat you to silence others. In fact, he has agreed to rob those Huainan merchants."
"Nonsense! Sir is not that kind of person."
Li Gan curled his lips and said: "My father said that to be a general you have to be ruthless. What we Han people lack is generals who dare to rob. The Huns always cross the Great Wall to plunder our Han land, but we Han people can only defend."
"Then did you and General Li capture the Huns?"
Li Gan shook his head: "We have been here for so long, and we all know who King Huainan is. My father will not blame me for robbing him."
Shi Bao thought for a while, put down the bowl, and struggled to get up. Li Gan quickly supported him: "What do you want to do? Let me help you?"
"What else can you do? Let's go! Xiao Jinzi has already gone to integrate the troops!"
Liu Hong was taking a nap in the car, with two beauties waiting beside him. It was already dark, and it was getting cold. He hugged Qingqiu to his chest, his whole body buried in it, and his whole body was warm and extremely comfortable. He had already thought about it
Well, since Su Ren is looking for death, he won't be polite. Not only will Su Ren's shocking price be known to the world, but he will also personally persuade the wealthy businessmen who have good relations with the Huainan Kingdom to boycott Su Ren's Jiangsu City.
News from Chang'an revealed that Jiangsu City was not only Su Ren's city, but the emperor was also involved. As long as Su Ren was defeated this time, even if Liu Hong did not take action, the emperor's trust in Su Ren would be greatly reduced.
Without the emperor's support, Su Ren was just a businessman, and it would be much easier to clean up.
"Go and find Mr. Sang."
Sang Yuji did not dare to enter Liu Hong's carriage rashly, and knelt at the shaft to talk to Liu Hong. Liu Hong waved his hand, and the maid quickly opened the curtain. Liu Hong said: "Mr. Sang, come in and sit down. It's windy at night. Let's have a glass of wine."
Warm yourself up."
Sang Yuji quickly thanked him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Mr. Sang is from the Sang family in Luoyi. I would like to ask Mr. Sang to go back. Is it convenient for Mr. Sang?"
Sang Yuji said quickly: "The villain is just a side branch of the Sang family. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the boss and will delay the young master's important affairs."
"Try it! As long as this is done, I will give you the other courtyard of my master!"
"How dare you? I have been in Huainan for so many years, and Mr. Quan Nai has taken care of me. I don't dare to take credit for small things. When I returned to Shouchun, I immediately set off and tried every means to persuade the boss not to come to Jiangsu."
Liu Hong smiled and said: "That's very good. After convincing Mr. Sang, I also hope that Mr. Sang can persuade a few more people. With Mr. Sang's prestige among merchants, our plan can be more perfect."
"No! Young Master is absolutely right."
"Hehehe, come on, drink!" Liu Hong filled a glass of wine himself and glanced at the maid next to him: "Why don't you quickly serve this glass of wine to Mr. Sang?"
The maid smiled knowingly, picked up the wine glass, and approached Sang Yuji with a smile. Sang Yuji was greatly moved, but he was concerned that she was Liu Hong's maid, so he quickly lowered his head and received the wine glass respectfully.
The maid chuckled lightly: "Mr. Sang is so polite. I am of low status and cannot bear Mr. Sang's courtesy. Come on, I will feed you this glass of wine for Mr. Sang."
Sang Yuji's face turned red. Liu Hong laughed: "That's right, Mr. Sang, you don't have to be polite!"
The carriage is full of spring, and the north wind blows outside the carriage. The lantern outside the carriage is swayed left and right by the wind, and the guard's servants hold their arms and try to retract their necks into their collars. They say the winter in the south is not cold, that is.
Liar. When the northwest wind blows, no one can bear it without warm clothes. Besides, in ancient times when we still didn’t know what the greenhouse effect was, it was even colder at that time.
"Third brother, you always said that your archery skills are good. Let's perform a show today. Can you shoot down the red lantern?" Shi Bao had a pain in his butt and could not perform in person, so Huo Jin asked Li Gan to stay and take care of him.
Li Gan glanced at him and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the elder brother hasn't taken action yet. Will it scare the snake if we take action?"
"What are you afraid of? There are only a few servant guards. As long as your archery skills are as you said, they will be knocked down by you before they can reach us. Otherwise, you are lying to us."
"Humph! I'm not lying! Just wait!" Li Gan is the youngest and usually more public. Now that Li Danghu is not around, the child's arrogance comes out.
Taking aim. The arrow flew out with a whoosh, like a meteor in the dark night, piercing through their hiding place, flying through the gaps in the trees, and heading straight for the red lantern.
"Poof!" The arrow passed through the red lantern and knocked over the lamp oil inside. The entire lantern immediately burned and suddenly became several times brighter.
Guarding Liu Hong's carriage were the soldiers of the Huainan Prince's Mansion. This time they were sent by the King of Huainan to protect Liu Hong. When arrows flew over with the sound of wind, he heard the movement. The red lantern on Liu Hong's carriage was covered by
He shot the man and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! Alert!"
The sound was loud and carried far away in the dark night. The guards quickly drew out their weapons and looked around cautiously.
"Huh..." The carriage stopped suddenly, and the wine in Sang Yuji's glass spilled all over him. The maid who was pouring wine for Sang Yuji jumped into Sang Yuji's arms. Sang Yuji immediately exerted all his strength and was stunned.
Know what to do.
When Liu Hong heard the guards shouting, he fell on his stomach in the carriage: "What's going on? We've reached the border of Huainan, who is so bold and dares to rob us?"
"I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave money to buy it. If you dare to say no, you will come forward and grab your head. If you die in the wilderness, the supervisor will not bury you. Send it to the Wangxiang Tower.
, will never come back." A long series of neat antiphonal songs came from the front of the motorcade. (To be continued)
