Five-ninety-two, Master Joe
Aside from two routine checks, nothing else happened along the way.
When everyone arrived in Changchun, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"Second master, are we going to visit Qiao's house tonight, or tomorrow morning?" asked Chen Yunzhang.
"Let's go now, finish things tonight, and let's go back tomorrow, after all, Boss Qiao is also in urgent need of medicine. ”
At ten o'clock in the evening, Qiao's house has been darkened, as a famous merchant family in Changchun, Qiao's family, it should not be said that the door face of Qiao's house is very large, five steps, two big red lanterns are hung on the door, and the copper nails on the door can be seen reflecting under the light of the red lanterns.
"This Qiao family is really a big family, look at this gate, if this is in the Manchu Dynasty, how can it not be a third-grade high-ranking official?"
"Alright, little Zhuozi, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and knock on the door. ”
Dangdang!
At ten o'clock in the evening, there was no one on the street, and almost every household was already sleeping. Therefore, the sound of the knocker pulling the door was extremely loud, as if it could be heard for several miles.
After a few minutes, someone asked impatiently: "Who, knocking in the middle of the night, have you rested, don't you know?"
"We were sent by Mr. Qiao Deqiao, there is an urgent matter, hurry up and open the door!" shouted Sun Dacheng, the second master.
"Young Master?"
A young man in his 30s opened the door with sleepy eyes, but he didn't know anyone at the door.
"Where is my young master?"
"Your young master didn't come back, he entrusted us to pick up something, this is a letter and a token. ”
Looking at the watch handed over by Sun Dacheng, the porter confirmed that it was indeed Jod's thing.
"Come in"
Entering the gate of Qiao's house, Zhou Min found that several rooms had been lit up, this Qiao's house was really big enough, and the corridors around the courtyard were full of small red lanterns, which was very festive.
"Bolt, who's who?"
"Grandpa, it's a friend of the young master. ”
"Joad is back?"
"No, it's just a friend of the young master. ”
"Let them come to the study. ”
Zhou Min and the six of them went to the study, and the plug brought tea to everyone.
"Why are you here late at night?"
"Master Qiao, we were entrusted by Mr. Qiao to pick up the medicine?"
"Qiao's family is not a pharmacy, what kind of medicine do you take?"
Yo, the old man is quite intimidating. Looking at their eyes is also a little unkind, and they are extremely vigilant.
"Master Qiao, this is Mr. Qiao's handwriting and tokens, please take a look. ”
Master Qiao took the letter handed over by Chen Yunzhang, put on his reading glasses and began to look at it carefully.
Zhou Min was also looking at him at this time. Although the years have left traces on his face, it is not difficult to see that he was a handsome guy when he was young, otherwise he would not have been favored by Miss Li and took advantage of the situation. But then what he did was not very authentic, he raised his daughter-in-law behind his back, and had an illegitimate child, and finally drove his son out, making chickens and dogs jump.
After reading the letter, Master Qiao asked a little nervously, "Qiao Meng is injured, is the injury serious?"
"She had some external injuries, which were not serious, but after a few days of exhaustion, she had a cold, a cold and fever, which caused the wound to become inflamed. Now penicillin must be had, and if the inflammation and fever are not reduced, she will be very dangerous. We first went to Qiao's Inn in Yanbian Town, but the innkeeper Qiao said that the last box of medicine was delivered to Changchun, and we took an overnight train to arrive. ”
"Thank you for your hard work, I'll call someone to get the medicine, you wait a while. ”
watched Master Qiao walk out with his clothes on. Zhou Min was a little stunned and asked, "Did he take the medicine?" He seems to believe us easily. ”
Sun Dacheng, the second master, also said: "It's really too easy. In the past, we used to bring tokens to large households, but their families didn't believe it and were unwilling to give money. ”
As soon as the second master finished speaking, Zhou Min felt 10 points weird, and there was always a feeling that something strange and indescribable.
It didn't take long for her to understand why.
"Listen to the people inside, hurry up and come out with your hands in your hands, otherwise we will shoot!"
When the six of them heard this, they were stunned.
Chen Yunzhang looked at the crack in the window, and there were already more than 20 people standing outside, all holding guys in their hands, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the study.
He smiled bitterly and said, "We are surrounded, I will say, why is Master Qiao so easy to talk? ”
Sun Dacheng was angry, he robbed his house so many times, but this time he came to do business, but he didn't expect the other party to believe it.
It seems that my Sun Dacheng can't do a good job. Do good deeds, people still don't believe it. ”
"Hurry up or we'll shoot!"
The six of them were very helpless, so they had to walk out with their heads in their hands.
"What did Master Qiao say just now, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, what do you mean? Don't think I don't know what you do. You're beards!
"Why did Master Qiao say this?" asked Chen Yunzhang with a wry smile.
"Why don't you say this, don't pretend, he is the second master of Laojun Mountain!" said Master Qiao pointing at Sun Dacheng.
Everyone including Sun Dacheng was stunned, but they didn't expect to be recognized.
"What? You guys have nothing to say, right? When did you catch my son and daughter up the mountain? Hurry up and get the truth!"
"Master Qiao, there is some misunderstanding here, you listen to our explanation. ”
"Well, I'd like to see what you can explain?"
"Master Qiao, Mr. Qiao and Miss Qiao are indeed in Laojun Mountain now, but they are not kidnapped. ”
"They weren't kidnapped, could it be that they did it voluntarily?"
"They did it voluntarily, and the two of them also wanted to help us, so they went to Laojun Mountain together, you must know that a few days ago, Mr. Qiao also urgently transferred 60,000 catties of grain and 500 guns, two cannons, and 1,000 grenades to Laojun Mountain.
"Yes, it did, and I suspected there was a problem. Looks like you've already done it. ”
"Master Qiao, it wasn't a robbery, it was bought with real money, and it cost a full 20 gold bars. ”
"Since you say that my son and daughter went up to the mountain of their own free will, why don't they come down and ask you to come and get the medicine? ”
"Miss Qiao's high fever does not go away, there is no way to go down the mountain, and Laojun Mountain is blocked by devils, Mr. Qiao is not familiar with the road, so we follow the second master down the mountain, everyone has a care together, we first went to Yanbian Town to get medicine, but there is no medicine, so we will come to Changchun. ”
"It's kind of like that. ”
Sun Dacheng had a fiery temper, and he said directly: "You old man, do we need to make up a story to lie to you? Even if I really want to lie to you, I came to your house in the middle of the night just to get a box of penicillin, and you don't use your brain to think about it." ”
"Oh, deflated calf, who are you talking to?"
A man from the Qiao family, who looked like an armed steward, raised the muzzle of his gun, pointed at Sun Dacheng's head and scolded.
However, Sun Dacheng's words, Master Qiao does sound reasonable.
Bandits like them don't just need a box of medicine for ransom.
Seeing that the master's expression was slightly loose, Zhou Min struck while the iron was hot and said, "Master Qiao, what we said is true." If you don't believe it, you can look at the letter again to see if Mr. Qiao was forced to write it. ”
