Chapter 549: Catch
Many caravan guards had a thought in their minds about whether they were going to be robbers too, and this money was simply too easy to make.
Xu Dongjia's face turned pale, and he stretched out a finger tremblingly, "One ...... Ten thousand taels of silver?"
You must know that when he came, he only prepared less than two thousand taels of silver for the caravan, and now he has loaded the goods and rushed back, I am afraid that there are only about one thousand taels left, which is too far from ten thousand taels of silver.
However, he knew that he could still earn money if the silver was gone, but there was only one life, and their Xu family was not short of a little silver, so he said: "Can you wait for me to go back and then send the silver to all the heroes." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the robber on the opposite side suddenly burst out laughing.
The one-eyed robber laughed enough, spat the ground, and said viciously: "You are a fool to be an uncle, will you still take out the money when you go back? If you want to survive, you must first take out 20,000 taels of silver." ”
Many people on the side of the Xu Dong family took a breath of cool air, especially the Xu Dong family's hands and feet were cold, and they didn't know where to get 10,000 taels of silver, let alone 20,000 taels of silver.
At this time, everyone was stunned by the figure of 20,000 taels of silver, and no one noticed the joy in the eyes of Steward Xing on the side.
"No, isn't it ten thousand taels......? How did it become 20,000 taels? Xu Dongjia stammered.
The one-eyed robber's eyes widened, and he sneered: "Uncle took 10,000 taels of silver from others to rob your caravan, since he let you go, he naturally wants to earn back the 10,000 taels of silver from you." ”
The one-eyed robbers said it as a matter of course, and it was very coherent, but where could the people present not guess that the silver entered the hands of this gang of robbers, it was a meat bun and a dog, how could it be spit out.
Many caravan guards were even thinking that if the Xu Dong family was willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver, then this gang of robbers would earn 30,000 taels of silver empty-handed, such a good thing, many people were thinking about whether to continue to be guards, or whether to change careers and become robbers.
In addition to being shouted at by everyone, it seems to be a very lucrative career.
"But I don't have 20,000 taels of silver, so can I give it to you for a while, and when I get back, I'll give it to you." Xu Dongjia cautiously discussed.
The one-eyed robber glared, "If you don't have any money, then leave your life behind." ”
Xu Dongjia's legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, but fortunately he was discovered in advance by the guards behind him, and he quickly helped him in advance.
"Yes, yes, yes. Xu Dongjia hurriedly said, "Can I use the goods of the caravan to offset the silver, and only discount it at the purchase price." ”
Xu Dongjia proposed another way, there were no 20,000 taels of silver, and the only things that could be valuable were these goods escorted by the caravan.
When One-Eye heard this, he sneered and said, "What do you want!" These goods originally belonged to the uncle, and you used the uncle's things to offset the silver owed to the uncle, where in the world is there such a good thing, brothers, do you say?"
The last sentence was said by him to the bandits behind him, which caused the bandits to echo for a while, and many people even proposed to stop talking nonsense, kill people directly, and pull the goods back to the cottage.
Hearing the words of these robbers, Xu Dongjia's legs became even weaker, trembling like noodles, and he couldn't support his body at all.
In the end, Xu Dongjia had no choice but to look at Steward Xing for help, hoping that Steward Xing would pay good attention.
Steward Xing pretended not to see it, and turned his eyes to the other side.
At this time, suddenly a robber ran up to the leader of the one-eyed robbers and said, "Big brother, I caught a few guys who wanted to escape." ”
"Yo he! I have the courage to get fat, and I dare to slip away under my nose and bring people up, and the uncle wants to see which guys are not long-eyed. The one-eyed leader said to the robber who had reported it.
After a while, a group of robbers escorted several people, dressed in clothes, obviously the guards of the caravan.
"It's you...... Leader Yang. At a glance, Xu Dongjia saw that the person who was escorted over was the escort and the leader of the guard hired by his caravan.
Not only him, but many caravan guards near the carriage also recognized these people who were escorted by the robbers, it was the leader of the caravan Yang and a few caravan guards who had a good relationship with the leader of Yang.
Many people who wanted to understand it were even glaring at Leader Yang and the caravan guards who had been captured.
A caravan guard who abandoned the caravan he protected and fled was despicable, and a leader of the guard who abandoned the caravan guards who shared their weal and soul was even more despicable.
Now that Leader Yang and the few guards who were captured by the robbers have taken care of both things, the people on the caravan side can't wait to go up and kick their feet and spit hard.
When recognizing Leader Yang, Xu Dongjia also wanted to rush up to question him, with an angry face, but after looking at the countless robbers around him, he slowly became decadent and sighed, although he still despised Leader Yang's behavior, he was not angry.
Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when the disaster came. This is true for both husband and wife, not to mention the leader of a caravan guard who is only in an employment relationship.
At this time, it is not difficult to think that if there is a chance, even these caravan guards around him, I am afraid that many people will take the opportunity to escape, and the reason why they have not escaped is only because the robbers appeared too suddenly, and it was too late to leave when they wanted to.
I knew in my heart that although the caravan guards were to protect the caravan's property, and at the same time, they would encounter some robbers and other problems, but this time there were simply too many robbers, and it was not at all that the caravan guards could deal with.
Leader Yang, who was still depressed, saw Steward Xing under the firelight, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Steward Xing, save me, save me, Steward Xing." ”
As soon as he called for help twice, a robber next to him punched him in the stomach, and at the same time scolded him in his mouth: "Be honest." ”
Although Leader Yang was a cultivator, at this time, after taking the Sangong Powder that the robbers gave him, the Xuan Power in his body had long been unable to use, and his weak limbs were not as good as ordinary people.
Leader Yang, who was hit by this punch, almost vomited bile, his body arched like a shrimp, and finally retched.
The robbers on the side didn't do anything after teaching Leader Yang a lesson, but just pressed Leader Yang and came to the one-eyed leader.
"Listening to what he means, it seems that there is a story between you!" the one-eyed leader rolled his eyes, and then circled back and forth between Steward Xing and Leader Yang.
A trace of panic flashed in Steward Xing's eyes, and he quickly straightened his expression, and said righteously: "Joke, what kind of story can there be, he is just a greedy thing who is afraid of death, I regret knowing such a thing." ”
