Volume 1 Bead Curtain Twilight Rolling West Mountain Rain Chapter 213 Let's do business
Xiahou Zhuo ordered the entire Xinzhou Mansion to be beheaded from top to bottom, and the blood flowed on the street for a while, and more than 300 heads were cut off from the government to the government officials.
In such a troubled world, Xiahou Zhuo's approach could not be based on any code, because at this time, the code of Dachu was already useless.
The people were flustered at first, then excited.
Most people will be easily satisfied, and when they know that the powerful officials and lords have been beheaded, they feel that good days are coming.
As the people often say, you see, when the bad things are over, will the good things be far away?
Xiahou Zhuo came back from the street prison, and as soon as he entered the gate of the palace, he saw Li Qi standing under the bare tree in a daze, he went to circle around Li Qi, and Li Qi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiahou said: "What are you stunned about?" ”
Li Qi sighed: "I'm thinking about how to use the silver in my hand." ”
Xiahou Zhuo said: "I just calculated, I will take 80,000 yuan, and the rest will belong to you, the silver confiscated from Liu Wenju's house totals more than 80,000 yuan, and I will take it all away, which will be used for the compensation of the fallen soldiers and the construction of the stele forest, and there should be a lot left." ”
Li Qi shook his head: "You can't move everything." ”
He looked at Xiahou Zhuo and said, "I can take away the 45,000 silver that Cui Hansheng and the others made up before, but if it is confiscated, it must be left intact." ”
Xiahou Zhuo asked, "Stay?" ”
After a while, he reacted and sighed: "Yes...... If I didn't leave some for my father, his attitude would not be clear. ”
Li Qi snorted and smiled: "After all, there is income, and this silver should be of great use in the future if it is saved after going back." ”
Xiahou Zhuo patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said: "I sent someone to deliver the letter early this morning, and it is estimated that the person sent by my father will arrive tomorrow at the latest, and the army is not far from here, and he may arrive if nothing happens, so I have to leave today." ”
Li Qi paused for a moment: "Tomorrow is the New Year." ”
Xiahou Zhuo suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Li Qi hard, and said: "The New Year is not too meaningful, it doesn't mean so much to you and my brother, you regard me as a brother, this is enough." ”
He let go of his hand and smiled: "You should also leave quickly, otherwise, with my understanding of my father, you will not be able to take away the 45,000 taels of silver." ”
Li Qi nodded: "It's okay, let's go." ”
Xiahou Zhuo said: "I will take fifty people and send fifty people to escort you back to Jizhou, this road is not smooth, you bring so much silver, these silver is enough to make people crazy." ”
Li Qi shook his head: "No, I guess the person who can protect me is about to arrive." ”
"Who?"
Xiahou asked.
Li Qi said: "If nothing else, Yu Chaozong will send someone to invite me, and if it is calculated, it can only be Lao Zhuang coming back, if Yu Chaozong just wants to invite me to go up the mountain, it is Lao Zhuang who comes alone, if Lao Zhuang comes with some people and horses, Yu Chaozong's intention is probably ...... I can go whenever I want, and he doesn't force him. ”
Xiahou said: "If it is the latter, this person is not as unbearable as I thought." ”
Li Qi smiled: "You can rest assured, I'm not a fool." ”
Xiahou Zhuo shook his head: "Everyone thinks that you are shrewd enough and have a good mind, only you can't lie to you, but I know that you are a fool, a real fool." ”
Li Qi was stunned.
Xiahou Zhuo raised his hand and rubbed it on Li Qi's head: "You guy...... If anyone can deceive you and become a brother to you, then ......"
He didn't want to say what he said later, because he knew that Li Qi had his own plans, and no matter what Yu Chaozong said, it was indeed much better than the people in the officialdom
Look, Xiahou pondered, could it be that Yu Chaozong was not as good as his father, Prince Yu?
To be honest, let Li Qi follow those big families to fight the world, and in the end he will be swallowed by those people in one bite, and there will not even be a scumbag left.
"Then I'll wait until tomorrow morning."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "If the people sent by the Yu Dynasty Sect arrive early tomorrow morning, I will return north with peace of mind, if his people do not come, I will send fifty people to you, escort you to Jizhou, and then let them go back to me." ”
Li Qi snorted: "Then let's celebrate the New Year tonight, whether he is twenty-nine or thirty." ”
Xiahou Zhuo laughed: "You are really a fool." ”
When they returned to their lodgings, they had just entered the door when their own soldiers came to report that a team of about a hundred people had come from outside the city, carrying weapons and riding two horses each, which seemed to be particularly strong.
also said that the person who led the man said that his surname was Zhuang, and he came here to ask to see Li Gongzi.
Xiahou Zhuo asked Li Qi curiously: "When you left Daizhou Pass, you didn't say that you were going to come to Xinzhou, how could the people of Yu Chaozong know that you are here?" ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "Although Lao Zhuang has few words, but he is very careful, when we leave Daizhou Pass, we calculate that it is impossible to rush back before the New Year, and we will meet Prince Yu or Prince Wu's team on the way, and we will inevitably take a detour, and the detour can only go to Xinzhou." ”
Xiahou Zhuo nodded: "That's okay, if he protects you, I will be sure." ”
Not long after, Zhuang Wushu led the team into the city, and the team of more than 200 people passed through the battle of Daizhou Pass, reducing the number of seventy or eighty people, and now there are only one hundred and twenty left, but after a big battle, these men look even more powerful.
Li Qi ran to the gate of the city to pick up Zhuang Wuving, and it was still far away, and Zhuang Wuving grinned when he saw Li Qi.
"Brother Zhuang."
Li Qi clenched his fists.
Zhuang Wushu pouted: "Less to come, brothers are hungry." ”
Li Qi said: "The rice is in the pot." ”
Zhuang Wushu jumped down from the horse and said, "Go!" ”
Zhuang Invincible arrived, Xiahou Zhuo was not so worried, to be honest, in this world, there are only two people who can make Xiahou Zhuo unable to ignore it, one is his mother, and the other is Li Qi.
As for his father, he had nothing to worry about.
The crowd spent the night in Shinshu and gathered together.
This meeting is a little unusual, a hundred border soldiers, more than a hundred rebels, sitting together and drinking.
If it weren't for Li Qi, I'm afraid it would be difficult for this kind of thing to happen.
Early the next morning, Xiahou Zhuo escorted more than 80,000 taels of silver back to Daizhou Pass, leaving thirty soldiers to guard the yamen, waiting for Prince Yu's people to arrive.
Li Qi and they went in the opposite direction, Xiahou Zhuo went to the northeast, and they went southwest.
When they returned, the team looked much more powerful, escorted by more than a hundred such brave knights, and a series of five or six carts, which seemed to have the meaning of a great loss.
Li Qi and the others were in a carriage, which was not crowded, the three carriages behind were pulling silver and other supplies, and in the two carriages behind, one was Yuan Jiabei and the other was Liu Yingyuan.
Less than half a day after they left Xinzhou City, Prince Yu rushed over with the team in person, Li Qi could imagine how helpless Prince Yu would be when he learned that Xiahou Zhuo had left, and there would be so much joy on his face.
His people took over Xinzhou, got another city, and could also get the confiscated silver, which was more than Xiahou Zhuo and Li Qi might have taken.
Li Qi has no choice but to do this, if he doesn't leave this money, after Prince Yu returns to Jizhou, Li Qi and their lives will not be easy.
stayed, Prince Yu didn't care how much they took.
Sometimes some are discarded, yes
In order to get some, life is not like this, if it is too full, there will be problems, and the most suitable is to be semi-proud.
This trip exceeded Li Qi's expectations before they left, when they went out of Jizhou City to send Zhuang Invincible, they never thought that they would do things in Yanshan, nor did they expect to go to Daizhou Pass to resist the black warriors.
I never thought that I would get rid of those bullies in Shinshu and save Yuan Jiabei's family and Liu Yingyuan's family.
Everything seems to have been arranged, and it all seems to be a coincidence.
After this trip, there may only be two people who think it is pure sightseeing, one is a dog and the other is a divine eagle.
Yu Jiuling looked at everyone and suddenly burst out laughing.
Li Qi looked at Yu Jiuling and asked, "What are you thinking?" The laughter that suddenly came out of nowhere, a little treacherous. ”
Yu Jiuling smiled: "Do you remember what we did when we left Jizhou?" ”
He didn't wait for others to answer, and said with a smile: "We left Jizhou to send Brother Zhuang home, but we didn't send it away after a big circle." ”
Zhuang Wuving: "I'll send you away now." ”
Yu Jiuling dodged back: "The gentleman doesn't move." ”
Zhuang Wuving: "I am not a gentleman. ”
Yu Jiuling said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you say that about yourself?" I don't agree, you are a gentleman, there are few people in the world who are more gentleman than you, you can't say that about yourself, I will be angry. ”
Zhuang Wuving: "Skiff! ”
Zhuang Wushu wiped his face and said, "Look, what a gentleman ......."
The road from Xinzhou to Jizhou is not very close, fortunately, everyone is not in a hurry to rush back, although the road is depressed but also comfortable, all the way is relaxed, at least than in Yanshan Camp and Daizhou Pass is much easier.
After walking for more than ten days, he returned to Jizhou, and this time when he came back, Li Qi found that there was a difference in Jizhou City.
They also went out last year, and when they returned to Jizhou, the desolation and ruins outside the city were in stark contrast to the singing and dancing in the city.
But when I came back this time, I found that under the red and hanging colors all over the street, everyone didn't look happy, and the whole city of Jizhou was gray, even if it was full of red, the color was dyed gray.
People are gray, roof tiles are gray, the sky is gray, and the world is gray.
With the token of Prince Yu's mansion, it is not difficult to enter the city with the team, but there is a problem to face next.
With so many people, where do they live?
Li Qi thinks all the way, he is a person who is used to preparing before things happen.
"Let's go buy a big house."
Li Qi looked at the master and said, "If you can give these brothers an identity that is not suspicious on the surface, the place must be big enough......"
Yu Jiuling asked, "Do you already have a plan?" ”
Li Qi nodded: "Yes, let's go and buy the place where we were originally in the hall, and then do some business, that place has been empty and not out, after all, so many people have died, businessmen feel bad and dare not buy, and since last year, the people who do business in the city have been unable to live, and they are short of money." ”
Li Qi looked back at the big cars and said, "I also have to find a place for Liu Yingyuan's family, that place is just right, and their family also has some things to do." ”
The long-eyed Taoist asked, "Then what business do we do?" ”
Li Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
"To be a restaurant, I'll be a chef."
The long-eyebrow Taoist paused for a moment, and then said, "It's better to split the money now." ”
Mr. Yan, Yu Jiuling, and Zhuang were invincible, and raised their hands at the same time and said, "Agreed!" ”
Condor: "Hum ......"
