[Chapter Word Count:3608 Last Updated:2014-10-0612:00:00.0]

One tael in the Qing Dynasty was about equivalent to 35 grams in modern times, and 10,000 taels was 350 kilograms, and now 700 kilograms of precious metals were robbed, and they were robbed by one person, this kind of thing is simply incomprehensible to Xiao Letian.

"You mean, a masked man suddenly rushed out of the woods of Taiping Road, subdued all of you with a bowl of tea, and then put the silver two into two wooden boxes, and one shoulder resisted and left?" Xiao Letian asked this sentence with a weak heart, that is a fifteen-person silver transport team, saying that the uniform is subdued?

In the woods on the west side of Taiping Road now, a group of people knelt down, and in the middle were the fifteen soldiers who had lost silver taels. Under Xiao Letian's questioning, these dozen or so big men almost found a crack in the ground to get in.

Now that the two furnaces on the top of the Taiping are in a state of extreme shortage of silver, the work of minting silver coins has almost come to a standstill, so Fan Yao has no choice but to use his connections in Beijing to start selling a large number of treasures in the Heavenly Sacred Treasury in the Liuli Factory.

As the imperial capital, Beijing has always been the main dumping ground for the cultural relics market, whether it is to buy a few pieces to rush their own façade or to exchange a few pieces for the back door of high-ranking officials, anyway, good treasures will never worry about sales.

No matter what pearls and jade treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or gold and silver porcelain you have, as long as the things are genuine, you don't have to worry about silver. In addition, Fan Yao's shopkeeper has a wide range of contacts, and there are friends in the glaze factory, so the treasures shipped from Taibai Ding can generally get a high price.

Xiao Letian sold his wealth, not for his own enjoyment, he was for the silver furnace on the top of Taibai, so the treasure must be exchanged for real silver in Beijing, and the silver ticket is not needed. But when silver is accumulated, transportation becomes a problem. 10,000 taels of silver is 350 kilograms, and 100,000 taels is three and a half tons.

To this end, Taibai set up five silver transportation teams composed of 15 people, each team transported about 20,000 taels at a time, and each person carried an average of about 50 kilograms of weight, picking a small road to bypass the checkpoints set up by the government to avoid those unnecessary troubles.

Since the establishment of the Yunyin team, it has successfully delivered more than 80,000 taels of silver to the cottage, and there has been no accident once, but I didn't expect that there was a bizarre robbery that stunned everyone today.

"Strategist, we are ...... capital crimes," the leading officer slammed his head on the ground and whimpered, "The woods of Taiping Road have always been a place for us to rest, but today just as we were unloading our wallets and preparing to drink some water, a man suddenly flew out from the direction of the woods......"

"We were not mistaken, it was just a person who flew out, I have never seen such a powerful light skill in such a big life, it rushed into the team like a gust of wind, and before I could draw the knife, I had already fallen to the ground as soon as it was dark......"

At this time, a small soldier at the end of the line spoke, "I was standing at the end of the line, I clearly saw the whole process, the man in black just used his hand knife, left and right in the crowd, each hand knife hit the same position on the neck, as long as everyone who was beaten fainted......"

"I ...... I was the last one, I thought I was going to be beaten too, I pulled out the knife at that time, even if I was the only one left, I had to fight with him......" At this time, the little man suddenly said in shame, "But he didn't attack me, just knocked my weapon away with the scabbard, and his subordinates were incompetent to let him restrain ...... with the scabbard"

The little soldier seemed to feel very ashamed because he didn't faint with everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... The man in black packed all the silver into two large boxes, and the last one carried one on his shoulder into the woods. But before leaving, he left me a message......"

At this time, the soldier was a little hesitant, Xiao Letian stared at his eyes and said, "Say!" The little man didn't dare to disobey" The man in black said, if you want these silver taels, let Xiao Letian go into the woods alone, and you can find him when you see mountains and streams all the way to the west......"

Xiao Letian didn't say a word and was about to go into the woods to urge the horse forward, but Sima Yun and the other soldiers grabbed the reins and didn't let him in.

"No, absolutely not, the prince gave a death order, and Mr. Xiao must not be allowed to approach any danger. Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan have already brought people in, sir, just wait for the news...... If you break in, we'll die here......"

Xiao Letian was sweating profusely, no matter how he pulled the reins, he couldn't break out of the circle, and in the end he couldn't even get off the horse, a group of soldiers held his legs and didn't let go, and the angry Xiao Letian whipped them a few times.

"Bastard, let go of Lao Tzu. Don't you understand this? The robber is not asking for money at all, he wants to see me, he wants to lure me out with two pieces of silver. It's not you bastards who see me dead every day, and this person came up with this plan...... Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

The soldiers would rather be whipped hard, and never let go, and soon gathered around Xiao Letian into a pimple, squeezing the blue and white horses under the crotch and screaming at the law.

Just when the scene was in chaos, a long laugh suddenly came from the woods: "Hahaha, is that the courage of Xiao Letian, an overseas lonely guest, is that big? Don't you dare to see anyone? Tell you the truth, Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan's lives are in my hands, if you want to save them, you can come in by yourself......"

"It's Xiang Shaolong! Xiang Shaolong, the dragon master of the Northland...... You bastards, let go of your hand quickly, I am not in danger, since he let me go last time, he has no ill will towards me......" Xiao Letian urged the horse forward with all his strength, and finally broke through with a whip.

Daqinghua's horse's hooves flew straight into the sparse woods, followed by a group of soldiers and sags chasing after him.

Taiping Road is a typical intersection of plains and mountains, the east is the endless North China Plain, and the west is mostly hills, and the Taihang Mountains in the distance can also see the majestic figure.

The woods grew denser and denser inside, and after ten minutes, Xiao Lotian finally saw a living person, a dejected soldier tied to a tree trunk.

"Strategist, why are you here, you can't go in, it's Xiang Shaolong, it's him who robbed the silver two ......" Xiao Letian didn't care about him at all, just waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to untie the rope.

The more he walked inside, the more surprised Xiao Lotian became, he found that Xiang Shaolong was simply an expert in mountain and forest field warfare, and the soldiers brought by Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan were almost all cleaned up by various traps.

Some were knocked unconscious, some were hung upside down in the air by vines, some were tied to tree trunks, and some were even broken by simple horse pits...... It wasn't until he finally saw the river deep in the woods that he saw Xiang Shaolong himself.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong had already lit a bonfire, and the two people tied next to the fire were Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan, and Xiang Shaolong was engrossed in forking the swimming fish in the river with branches.

"Hey...... Xiao Ye later, a few more forks will be enough for us to bake a meal. Don't look at the fish in the spring, but the taste is the best, eat long strength...... "Xiang Shaolong didn't look back at all while speaking, as if he didn't know that he had been surrounded by forty or fifty strong men.

Xiao Letian immediately walked to the fire, sat down on the silver box, and picked up Xiang Shaolong's treasure knife, a cold light flashed, and the sharp blade appeared in front of Xiao Letian's eyes, "What a knife! Even I, a person who doesn't know how to do it, can see that it is good, then it must be a good knife...... After speaking, he cut the ropes on Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan's bodies with the knife.

The atmosphere is a little awkward now, all of Xiang Shaolong's hostages have been released, and even his weapons are in Xiao Letian's hands. Now, only the pointed wooden stick in his hand is a decent weapon.

Xiao Letian waved his hand, this time his subordinates did not stop him, and all of them took ten steps back to form a big circle and stared at Xiang Shaolong vigilantly.

"Okay, these fish are enough for the two of us to try......" After speaking, Xiang Shaolong sat on top of another silver box and began to clean up the fresh fish.

"I'm really convinced, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be bolder than the sky, and actually colluded with bandits to mint silver coins privately?

Xiao Letian was like a child playing with the treasure knife of Xiang Shaolong's family, and he didn't even think about it, "That's a business without a book, collect the scattered silver taels from the people, and open the furnace is a thirty percent profit, you give me 10,000 taels, and I will definitely pay you 13,000 taels of foreigner silver coins......"

"What's the matter? Master Long is interested...... That's simple, you collect scattered silver for me, and when the time comes, the profit will be half of our brothers, even if you are six or I four......"

Saying this, Xiang Shaolong suddenly looked lonely: "Mr. Xiao has a lot of money, but my home is gone." My ancestors ran Xiangjiazhuang for three generations, but as a result, they burned the Tartars to the ground, and accused me of being a bandit...... It's really unclear what the different circumstances of life are!"

Xiao Letian laughed when he heard it, "Haha, how could Master Long be so indifferent? When you take the deal to kill me, you should think of this fate." Kill me, Taibaiding's brother will definitely slaughter you Xiangjiazhuang to avenge me, you didn't kill me, but your employer will kill you in order to keep his mouth shut, this end has long been doomed......"

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this business is too loss-making, whether it is done or not, my Xiang family will be unlucky, there is no way, both of you are big figures, I really overestimated my status before." A little green forest man, how can he be your opponent......"

"But I still want to thank you, if it weren't for Xiao Ye's righteous action and reporting in advance, our Xiangjiazhuang would really be destroyed, and it would be a blessing in misfortune to be able to escape alone......

Xiao Letian's intelligence reconnaissance of Xiang Shaolong has never stopped, he knows that everyone in Xiang Jiazhuang has been safely transferred to the outside of the mouth, and it is not a problem to hide hundreds of people with Long Ye's connections. But Xiang Shaolong himself disappeared on Xiao Letian's intelligence network, and Chun Thirteen Niang in the capital tried his best to find him, never expecting that Long Ye was hiding in the land of Gyeonggi.

"What are the plans of Master Long, just wandering the world like this? I'll tell you the truth, when firearms are popular, martial arts masters like you will become more and more difficult to mix, and it won't work if you don't think of a way out early!" Xiao Letian persuaded bitterly.

"Oh, does Xiao Ye have any clever ideas?" Xiang Shaolong asked without raising his head as he inserted the cleaned fish on both sides of the fire.

"Hehe, I can't be stingy when Master Long speaks, from today onwards, I will hire you as a personal bodyguard, with a monthly salary of 1,000 oceans, and after ten years, I will be rewarded with a manor of 500 acres of land, and I will be rewarded with a manor of 1,000 acres for another ten years...... Oh forget it, you're going to retire in thirty years......"

"Come on, I'm also more generous, you protect me for thirty years, I will not only give you a salary increase every year, but also give you a manor of two thousand acres of land, how about it?"

Xiang Shaolong didn't expect Xiao Letian to be so generous, Rao is well-informed Long Ye was a little confused, "Don't you fool me with the land on the grassland outside your mouth, right?"

"Look at what you said, what I gave you is definitely watering the land on the Zhili Plain, this is all right?"

"No, it's not enough...... Xiang Shaolong suddenly stood up, and the dozens of soldiers around him were about to fight, but Xiao Letian stopped them with a wave of his hand.

"What conditions does Master Long have, then speak......"
