Chapter 78 The Blackwater River was terrified

When Tiemo sent the letter and asked people to accept the materials, Cao Shengyu didn't pay much attention to it.

But after arriving at Yanmen Pass, Cao Shengyu's eyes straightened when he saw materials worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Lighting the supplies, the smiling eyes narrowed.

"Hey, be careful, this is a treasure, among these materials, this thing is the most valuable!"

Cao Shengyu looked at the person in the general cargo box a little frizzy, and hurriedly reminded him.

Tie Mo looked curious on the side, walked over and asked, "Brother Cao, isn't this just a piece of porcelain?" Is it really worth the money? ”

"Hey, my Iron General, do you know what my old Cao family does?"

"Leather goods and grain!"

"Wrong, what my old Cao family is really proficient in is actually porcelain trading. As far as the one in front of me is not an ordinary antique, this is the Tang Sancai produced by the official kiln in the early Tang Dynasty, and there are very few that have been handed down to this day. Look at the pattern, the bird....."

"Really?" Tie Mo looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything special.

Cao Shengyu talked for a while, only to realize that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he had to say: "This porcelain, it may not be sold for a lot of money here in our Shuntianfu, but if it is sent to Jiangnan, if it is less than 50,000 taels of silver, even if Cao's eyes are blind." ”

"At least fifty thousand taels?"

"Well, absolutely!"

Tiemo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, on the one hand, he sighed at the wealth of the Jiangnan gentry, and on the other hand, he felt sad for Zhu Youzhen.

The gentry in Jiangnan would rather spend 50,000 taels on a piece of porcelain than donate 5,000 taels of disaster relief silver to the imperial court.

Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen, you can have a snack.

......

The war near Taiyuan Mansion was in full swing, but Tiemo, who was responsible for escorting supplies, was extremely idle.

On this day, following the convoy to a dense forest, Tiemo stopped the convoy in a cautious mind.

"Three dogs, there's Shouyang ahead, right?"

"Yes, Brother Dingshan is from Shouyang, he must be very familiar with this area, but unfortunately, he will return to Zhangbei at this time!" Ruan Sangou spoke, and looked at Tiemo with a strange look.

is really a little flattering to Tiemo's behavior of admitting his father and selling his son. Brother Tie is too tricky this time, and his aunt has not married yet, so he sold his son first, and I don't know which one can agree to Brother Tie's behavior.

Ruan Sangou had something to say, of course Tiemo could hear it, shook his hand and patted Ruan Sangou, and said angrily: "Do you know a six?" You'll know later, it's all worth it. Lao Tzu admits his father and pits his son, it's not that he wants his brothers to die less, you still complain about Lao Tzu. ”

"You can't say that, which of our women in Shanxi do you think will agree to let their son have someone else's surname? Brother Tie, it's not me talking about you, it's not easy for you to find such an aunt! ”

"Don't talk about it, hurry up and check the situation!"

"Okay!" Ruan Sangou whistled and led a few people to the front to explore the terrain.

As soon as Ruan Sangou left, Tie Mo found a place to sit down and sulked. Although Ruan Sangou's words are not popular, they are also true, who wants his son to have someone else's surname these days? Shall you be a son?

After a while, Ruan Sangou ran back with people.

"Brother Tie, everything is normal in the forest ahead, you can pass it!"

Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing were sitting not far away, raising their heads at this time, their lips moved, but they didn't make a sound.

Tiemo pointed at Liu Guoneng and said with a smile: "Lao Liu, what do you have to say, we are now brothers in life and death, don't have so many scruples." ”

"Alright then, Iron Garrison, look at the small village over there, isn't there something abnormal!"

Looking in the direction pointed by Liu Guoneng, there was a small village about five miles away, and from a distance, there were only a dozen households in the village, which looked sparse.

Gradually, Tiemo also saw that something was wrong.

It was almost noon, and it was time to make a fire for cooking, but there was not a single wisp of cooking smoke in the village.

Tiemo furrowed his brows, and before he could speak, Ruan Sangou was already unhappily pulling Liu Guoneng, "Old Liu, what do you mean?" Are you saying that my three dogs have bad eyes, and are there any enemies who can't find out? ”

"Brother Sangou, Liu didn't mean that!"

"Hmph, what do you mean? I see ....."

Tie Mo slapped Ruan Sangou on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Look at a fart, it's okay to move your dog brain more, there is no problem in the forest ahead, it proves that we are safe?" Look there, it's time to make a fire and cook, but there's a wisp of smoke? ”

"Don't always look at Lao Liu unpleasantly, if it weren't for Lao Liu, our lives would have been thrown on Taihe Ridge."

Ruan Sangou is not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, but he is afraid of iron and ink. was yelled at twice, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

After leaving Ruan Sangou and Li Wanqing behind, Tiemo and Liu Guoneng took two people, dressed up in disguise, and went to the small village in the northwest direction.

Five miles of road, in a blink of an eye, before entering the village, I felt a breath of dead silence. People who are used to fighting on the battlefield are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.

The whole village was silent, and there was no barking of dogs and chickens, and Tiemo could guarantee that something must have happened here.

The four of them did not rush into the village, but hid in the poplar forest outside the village. A short time later, several men came out of the entrance of the village, holding hoes and shovels in their hands and swords at their waists.

"Grandma is a bear, on this hot day, you have to do this kind of work."

"Okay, don't complain, this is the first errand we ask, if we don't do it well, Master Lei will have to split us alive."

After a few people walked away, Tiemo glanced at Liu Guoneng and quietly followed.

......

A river runs from east to west and crosses the village. The river was rushing and surging, and more than 20 strong men were waving hoes and shovels on a high slope, digging continuously.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tie Mo's expression was solemn, and his hands clenched his fists tightly.

These men are going to dig down the levees and divert the river to the west.

The Heishui River, located between Shouyang and Yangqu, has a gentle flow on weekdays, but due to a heavy rain in Taiyuan Prefecture before, the water level has skyrocketed.

If the embankment is dug up, the river water pours into Yangqu to the west, and the casualties caused by that time are unimaginable.

"What a ruthless method, for his own selfishness, he wants to do such a thing that is unconscionable!"

Unlike Tiemo's resentment, Liu Guoneng seemed very calm.

"Iron Guard, it's understandable that you're angry, but for some people, it's normal. The more hungry people there are, the more displaced people there are, and the more people some people have. You are angry because you have seen less, Liu has seen more cruel things than this over the years. ”

Tie Mo smiled bitterly and glanced at the surging river, and then quietly retreated with Liu Guineng.

Yangqu, not only has more than 100,000 people, but outside Yangqu City, there are also soldiers and horses stationed in Xuanfu and Datongfu.

In any case, the thieves cannot be allowed to succeed in their schemes.
