Sure enough, good people are rewarded!

By dawn the next day, Li Changfeng had walked less than ten miles west when he came across a caravan, a small caravan that was also heading west, slightly on the same road.

A thousand words, plus ten taels of silver!

The caravan manager finally allowed him to join the caravan halfway, and freed him up for a carriage with ten people.

Well, that's right, you heard it right, it's a carriage for ten people.

There are ten people stuffed in a carriage, what is this not a carriage of ten people?

It's still up to ten taels of silver, otherwise it would be nice to allow you to follow the caravan and travel on two legs.

People's hearts are sinister and have to be guarded against.

Especially if you are a merchant outside, you will not allow strangers to join in the middle of the way, because who knows if you are a pedestrian or a bandit spy.

So, for safety reasons, most caravans won't allow strangers to join in the process.

Why did Li Changfeng's small caravan let him get on the bus halfway?

Because they themselves are horse runners, not freight merchants, but a team that specializes in carrying people to give away and protect people, similar to the bus fleet of later generations.

Under normal circumstances, without a certain background and without a strong warrior in charge, you really can't go to a horse race.

After all, robbing the goods is to get some goods plus a small amount of silver taels at most, and the goods are sold, and they will be scraped off a layer of oil and water by the middlemen, and what they can get in the end is probably only two or three out of ten.

As for the robbery of horse runners, most of the money they get are silver tickets, gold and silver, etc., all in cash, cash, and there is no middleman to make the difference, and the profit will naturally be high.

It's a pity that ordinary bandits rarely rob horse runners, not because they don't want to, but because there is a backstage behind the horse runners, and you don't know which time it was a rich man who took the car, which time it was a poor ghost, in case you robbed a few cars of poor ghosts, and it also attracted the forces behind the horse runners to encircle and suppress, wouldn't it be worth the loss.

What's more, the forces behind the horse runners basically have an agreement with the green forest forces along the way, and they will pay a certain amount of silver taels according to the number of people every time they pass, so the long stream is also a lot of income for those bandits.

The horse racing merchant that Li Changfeng joined, although there is no large force behind it, but there is also a grandmaster in charge, ordinary bandits will never dare to provoke, and he is also a little famous on this business road, and his reputation is not bad, so there are so many guests.

Li Changfeng also counted before getting into the car, this horse runner has a total of seven cars, if there are ten people in each car, then it is seventy people, if one person is ten taels of silver, that is seven hundred taels, excluding the monthly money of the warrior, the wear and tear on the road, and the money for buying the road of the green forest hero, one trip down, you can earn at least three or four hundred taels.

In this way, it is no wonder that those big forces and warriors will form horse racing merchants.

It's too violent, there's wood!

When you go out, everyone is not stupid, and you know that people's hearts are unpredictable. So although a carriage carried ten people, not many people spoke to each other.

Even if there are two people who know each other, they just occasionally bow their heads and whisper to each other, so as not to affect other people.

Li Changfeng didn't care about this, he found a seat at random and sat down, and then leaned on the body of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate.

I don't know how long it took, the speeding carriage suddenly stopped, and then Li Changfeng heard someone outside the carriage shouting loudly: "Everyone, the Tiger Leap Gorge has arrived, there are friends in the green forest who need to verify the number of people, please don't panic, leave after verification, leave after verification!"

The person who shouted was the head of the caravan, and after Li Changfeng heard his words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Tiger Leap Gorge, this name, he seems to have heard it somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.

However, he soon gave up, unwilling to waste his brain cells on it. He leaned out his mind and watched with interest what was happening outside the carriage.

This was the first time he experienced riding a horse racing dealer, and it was also the first time he saw bandits set up checkpoints on the road like the traffic police at the highway intersection in his previous life, and charged tolls per capitation.

Isn't that interesting?

The official empire has not yet said about tolls, but the bandits in the field have done it well. Set up checkpoints openly and collect tolls according to the number of people.

They didn't bother the guests, they just raised the curtain and glanced into the carriage, checked the number of people and left, to see their proficiency, obviously it was not the first time they had done this.

The green forest heroes checked the number of people in the car, and then notified the caravan steward to pay the money.

After the caravan steward paid the money, the leading bandit waved his hand, and someone moved the barricade to open the convoy to pass, refreshingly and neatly, without a little mud and water.

This scene really opened Li Changfeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at the gang of bandits in the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

These are all talents!

I don't know how the one in the imperial palace in the imperial capital will feel when he knows this.

The people in the carriage obviously didn't encounter this situation for the first time, and they were not surprised by this.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Changfeng's brain, and he finally remembered where he had heard the words "Tiger Leaping Gorge".

Nine months ago, no, it should be said that more than three months ago in the Tomb World, a caravan in the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion was detained by a group of bandits, and those bandits not only robbed him of Li's goods, but also dared to make a provocation.

Subsequently, Qin Hai, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, led the Blood Eagle Guard to sweep away the entire Tiger Leap Gorge.

It's a pity that the gang of bandits is very cunning, what they did was just to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and when Qin Hai arrived, they had already run away without a trace.

"And where did this gang of bandits come from today?"

Li Changfeng couldn't help frowning, he would never doubt that Qin Hai would lie about this matter, since he said that he had swept away the bandits and bandits in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, he would never leave a fish that slipped through the net.

Now that the bandits in Tiger Leap Gorge have been swept away, where did this gang of bandits come from?

"Dragon Tiger Village!"

Thinking of the familiarity of the caravan steward with the previous bandits, it is by no means possible to establish in a moment, so the answer is obvious.

This bandit who collects protection money is the thief of Longhu Village who robbed the caravan of the Hou Mansion before provoking the Hou Mansion, and then fled before Qin Hai brought the Blood Eagle Guard.

It's just that even Li Changfeng didn't expect that this gang of thieves would be so bold, in just three months, they came back openly, and they also set up checkpoints in a high-profile manner to collect capitation fees.

"Hehe, interesting, really interesting. ”

"This is playing this son like a fool!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Changfeng's mouth, but his eyes were cold.

He thought more about the situation in Tiger Leaping Gorge, did the officials in the nearby cities know that they were really bandits and robbers?

How many people were involved in the last incident of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and were the masterminds behind the scenes really those shopkeepers?

Originally, Li Changfeng didn't want to pursue so much, but this time, the thieves in the Tiger Leap Gorge Dragon and Tiger Village all took the initiative to send them to the door, if he was still indifferent, how could he be worthy of the caravan guards who died at the beginning?

In other words, he left the imperial capital and traveled westward for more than ten days, and the long knife in his hand had not seen blood. Since we have encountered it this time, let's count the new hatred and old hatred together, and use this bandit from the Dragon and Tiger Village as a treasure knife.
