Chapter 39: Buying the Road

Boss Jin is not an ordinary bandit leader, ten years ago he was a military household of Songjiang Jinshanwei, and then he couldn't stand the exploitation of his boss and fled with a few brothers.

They are all children of military households, most of them are rough in martial arts, and they have a doorway to get standard weapons, so Boss Jin took a group of people to be thieves between Chongming Island and Tongzhou.

This time I went out of the mountain for a big deal, but I didn't expect that any medicine store guys I met on the road would break my front teeth, and it was Boss Jin's cousin who had just been brought out of home by the other party who was knocked off his calf and taken away by the other party.

Although there are only twelve or thirteen people on the other side, most of them are strong and strong, and the guy with a stick in his hand is extraordinary, and he is afraid that he will lose a few brothers if he wants to gnaw it down, but seeing the duck flying to his beak, Boss Jin is not reconciled.

"Someone's coming." The subordinates on the side reminded in a low voice.

Boss Jin squinted his eyes and looked over, and a thin young man came out of the crowd, although his steps were not large, his steps were calm and his expression was not chaotic.

As soon as they approached, two strong men came up and grabbed Qian Yuan and searched up and down before pushing him in front of Boss Jin.

"This is the master." Qian Yuan smiled and arched his hand.

Boss Jin had a strange feeling, the young man opposite didn't look like a medicine guy, but like a scholar, "Are you?" ”

"Below is the account office of Songjiang Gujia Pharmacy, this time I went to Suzhou to buy some medicinal materials, and the boat was wrecked on the way back......" Qian Yuan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect to meet the master on a narrow road." ”

It turned out that he was really a scholar, and Boss Jin was relieved, he also knew that many people in Songjiang had been studying since childhood, and they turned to other businesses after they had no hope of making a career, and the tutor and the bookkeeper were the most typical.

"The head of the house is not a wolf."

Qian Yuan's sudden words made Boss Jin stunned, and a few unpredictable smiles appeared on the latter's thin face, "What do you say?" ”

"The Japanese invaders killed people and looted money, and even slaughtered cities to intimidate the people." Qian Yuan smiled: "And the master...... I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road wealth. ”

"Hahaha, that's a good point, Lao Tzu has also heard of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"!" Boss Jin laughed and said, "Sounds like you want to buy a road?" ”

"Of course, otherwise you will fight to the death?" Qian Yuan shrugged, "Don't hide it, my companions are all from the industry." ”

"No wonder!" Boss Jin muttered in a low voice, there are indeed some good hands in the industry, and sometimes he will take over the business of taking care of the home and escorting the goods.

"Boss, this is good, we will connect the injured brother to his bones, leave all the belongings, buy a way to go, and see each other in the future to continue the old relationship." Qian Yuan proposed with a smile: "It's not nice to say, you have to keep the seeds for killing pigs, and everyone doesn't dare to take this road, which is not a good thing for the master." ”

If you can do it without doing it, this is naturally a good thing, Boss Jin doesn't care whether to keep the seeds or not, the key is that there is a big deal in this downhill, and the loss of manpower is really not worth it.

After hesitating for a moment, Boss Jin nodded in response, but put forward one condition, "The one who made the stick can't go." ”

Qian Yuan frowned and looked back at Yang Wen from a distance, this guy was received from Shaoxing, although his mouth was a little poisonous and his temperament was quite withdrawn, but he did things neatly several times.

Not to mention the rest, if it wasn't for Yang Wenlu just now, Boss Jin might not be willing to collect money to make way.

After pondering for a while, Qian Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of being in charge, I can't afford to provoke the person who fights the line, I was beaten with a stick, who are you looking for to reason?" ”

Seeing that Boss Jin's eyes were not good, Qian Yuan calmly took out a jade pendant from his arms, "This is handed down by the ancestor, in the future, the master will send someone to take it to the Gu family pharmacy to find me, and there are fifty taels of silver as a reward." ”

"Not enough?"

"In charge, it's not that I'm asking for money and dying, no matter how much I can't get out, a few years ago, the county tried to drain the family, otherwise I wouldn't have to make an account."

Boss Jin took the jade pendant, although he didn't know how to identify, but he started with warmth, which should be worth a lot of money.

It is said that thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and it is even more so that people are robbers, Boss Jin showed a smile on his face, waved his hand to signal his men to go down to collect the goods, and took two steps forward and patted Qian Yuan's shoulder hard, "It's a little interesting, you have courage and knowledge, what do you call the little brother?" ”

"In Tan Yuan, Huating County, Xiasongjiang, my family also practiced medicine for a living." Qian Yuan's face was bitter and his body was short, "The hands of the master are heavy, and my little arms and legs are ......"

"Hahaha, that's it." Boss Jin waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to put away their knives and guns and prepare to leave.

"In charge, when we meet in the future, we will definitely invite Boss Jin to drink." Qian Yuan didn't even go back, just stood in place and watched the group of bandits slowly leave, and even stepped forward to say goodbye diligently, which made Boss Jin cry and laugh.

The departing bandits looked back frequently, and it was the first time in their lives that they had been robbed like this, only the strong man who had just been connected to the leg bone had a resentful look in his eyes.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Li Si pounced up, and his two hands touched Qian Yuan's body for a while.

Zhang Sanyi dragged Li Si away, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young Master, you really have you, you have enough guts!" ”

Why can you go up, can Lao Tzu personally take risks?

Zhang San complimented again: "Young master, this is called a three-inch tongue, right?" ”

"Shut up!" Qian Yuan scolded and turned his head to look at Yang Wen: "Do you know how much that jade pendant is worth?" ”

Yang Wen's throat moved, trying to squeeze out a smile.

Qian Yuan was unmoved, "That jade pendant is to buy your life, naturally it will be counted on your head, I remember that I bought it in Hangzhou Jubaozhai at the time, sixty taels of silver, how many years do you have to work for me?" ”

"No, it won't count." Yang Wen is used to keeping a straight face again.

"Fifty years." Qian Yuan said casually: "By the way, I forgot, anyway, you signed the deed of sale!" ”

Yang Wen simply turned around and looked at Qian Yuan with the back of his head.

"Hmph, I won't say a few nice words." Qian Yuan complained a few words and looked at the sky, "Let's hurry, I hope I can enter Jiading County today, otherwise...... Zhang San, you are not allowed to speak this year! ”

In the end, the group still failed to enter the county seat of Jiading, and settled in a small village more than 20 miles away from the county seat.

The farmhouses of later generations were very expensive and expensive, but the farmhouses of this era cost almost nothing other than food.

casually got some food and mixed it up, and everyone rested early, but Qian Yuan still habitually couldn't sleep, so he took a book and leaned against the head of the bed and flipped through it.

"Squeak."

A cup of tea was placed on the bedside table, Qian Yuan still lowered his head to read a book, and raised his glass with his right hand to take a sip.

"Wow!"

"It's hot!"

"Li Si, you ...... Uh, Yang Wen? ”

Qian Yuan looked at Yang Wen, who was a little restrained, in surprise, "What's wrong?" Figured it out? ”

"It's not." Yang Wen scratched his head, "Last time...... Last time, the young master asked me to learn words......"

Qian Yuan looked at Yang Wen fixedly, this person had never been called a young master.

Yang Wen twisted a little, and his drooping hand tugged at the corner of his clothes, "I heard Li Si say that the jade pendant is a ...... from the young master's family."

"This guy is really talkative." Qian Yuan smiled gently: "It's just a jade pendant, don't think about it so much." ”

Yang Wen fell silent, he knew very well that there was a trench-like gap between himself and this Songjiang Xiucai, if other people encountered today's situation, would they exchange the family heirloom jade pendant for the life of a person who was not very familiar? Not to mention that he is only a servant in name.

Qian Yuan smiled, "You want to learn words?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll teach you." Qian Yuan waved the book in his hand, "It just so happens that this book is "The Legend of the Water Margin of Loyalty". ”

Some things are like this, you can't get it when you want it, but you can reap it inadvertently.

Qian Yuan had long had plans to subdue Yang Wen, he was superb in martial arts, acted prudently, had a delicate mind, and could take charge of himself, but Yang Wen had been lukewarm about it.

Today, when Dao Zuo was in distress and took out the jade pendant in exchange for Yang Wen's life, Qian Yuan had no other ideas, just following his own code of conduct, but he didn't expect to have a different harvest.

Now Qian Yuan naturally doesn't know what kind of person this young man Yang Wen from Taizhou is.
