Chapter 144: Let go of the pursuit
Outside the gate of the United Overseas Bank, the boy walked to a few carriages, and the short and sturdy Wei Scar leaned over and asked in a low voice, "It's done?" ”
"That's it, there's nothing going on here, right?"
"Nothing special, you go get the silver."
Childe nodded, turned and walked into the bank.
The famous Xiucai just now greeted him and said with a smile: "The son is here, and the silver has been prepared." Please send me the check. ”
After taking the check, Xiucai took a look, raised his hand and pointed to the side of the lobby, where sixty cash boxes were neatly arranged. Xiucai said loudly: "Thirty thousand taels of silver, please count it!" With a wave of his hand, several militia sergeants stepped forward and opened a few boxes, and the white flowers were full of silver light.
Childe smiled and said, "UOB, I can trust it, don't order it!" ”
Xiucai hurriedly said: "Childe, it's best to check it, point it out in person, and don't recognize it when you go out." ”
30,000 taels of silver, when will it be counted one by one? Childe was anxious, waved his hand and said, "No need!" I'm going to get someone into the car. ”
On the West Lake flower boat, Feng Liansheng looked anxious, it was no problem to take people, but it was difficult to ensure Mu Zhongren's safety! There is no way to stop the thieves from any surprise attack, and they will cut off Mu Zhongren with one sword!
What's the best way to do it?
Wang Gonggong is not only a shareholder of the bank, but also Feng Liansheng's old boss, and he also sent Sheng Baihu to bring people to assist. But what about watching the money being taken away? Then how will you raise your head in the militia in the future? Where is the face in the brocade guard?
And the captain was taken, even if the thief got the silver, how to notify the flower boat to release the people? Feng Liansheng is in a dilemma for a while!
The government used to take thieves and never considered what hostages they had.
Therefore, the captain was afraid of Jinyiwei's cruel methods, and after confessing truthfully, he just wanted to die quickly.
Feng Liansheng thought about it and asked, "You plan to get the money and withdraw from Nanchang, how can you release people?" ”
"When the money enters the palace, someone will come to inform me, and I will go over the boat, take a few of them ashore, and hurry to join the brigade near the city gate and go out of the city."
Feng Liansheng's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want to live?" Or die with them? ”
The captain was stunned: "Can I still live?" ”
"You have no more money, and your accomplices are now dead or taken, just like you. Now it's just the four people on board! If I give the order, they will die immediately. However, I also want to get some silver from Mu Zhongren, so I don't want him to die, if you can make him live, I can get the silver, and you can live! ”
"Really? You don't blame me? "A person who is going to die suddenly has a glimmer of life, just like a drowning person sees a life-saving rope.
"I swear to God, if I break my word, I will not die well!" Feng Liansheng said: "Only when you are alive and have silver can you have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful women and delicious food." You have given me money, and I have given you life. You cut off my way of wealth, and I cut off your way of life. Ling Chi has three thousand knives, one less knife, count me as losing! How do you choose? ”
......
Six carriages, plus Childe, a total of eighteen people. It took several trips back and forth before the sixty silver boxes were placed on the wagon. The people from the banks and the militia just watched like that, and they didn't come up to help them.
Wei Scar and the others were busy for a while, and the boxes were bundled one by one and covered with cloths.
The group got into the carriage and prepared to leave.
The showman in the bank walked up to Childe with a smile and arched his hand: "Does Childe need someone from the bank to escort him?" ”
Gongzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said angrily: "No need, in Nanchang City, nothing can happen." ”
"Okay! Childe has a good journey! ”
Gongzi and the others drove the carriage and went straight to the palace.
The bank and the palace are both in the middle of Nanchang City, and they are not too far from each other. But a box of silver was five hundred taels, and each carriage carried ten boxes and five hundred pounds. There were also three people sitting in each car, one driving and two sitting. It's walking in the city again, so the carriage can't go fast.
Gongzi and Wei Scar kept looking back, and people came and went behind them, but there were no other abnormalities. Getting closer and closer to the palace, the two of them slowly settled down in their hearts.
On the West Lake, the captain rowed a small boat, and several water ghosts were supported on both sides of the back of the boat, and a flower boat followed. Odd books
A man who was guarding Mu Zhongren saw the small boat rowing through the gap in the curtain, and turned around and said happily: "Most of it is done!" Came to pick us up! “
The other three also leaned over the window to take a look, the boat slowly approached, the captain gestured a few times on the boat, and then slowly brought the boat closer to the boat.
Mu Zhongren was too frightened and was already a little numb. A man approached him, took out a rope to tie his hands and feet, and then stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and said, "We are leaving, don't worry, someone will find you later!" When you get home, remember to go to the bank to make a claim. Hehe. Stretched out his hand and slapped Mu Zhongren's face a few times.
The four of them went down the stairs, walked to the side of the boat, opened the railing, put down the pedals and put them on the boat. Hurry up! ”
The four of them put the dagger into their arms, and the waist knife into the sheath. The two thieves in front of them were cautious, stepping on the pedal and stepping into the boat.
As soon as the third person stepped on it, the boat shook, the pedal was loosened, and the person did not hold steady, and with a cry, he turned over and fell into the water. The last man shouted, "What's wrong? As soon as I looked at it, the vest was cold, and my heart ached, and when I looked down, the tip of a tooth came out of my belly. Just as he was about to wail, he was kicked from behind into the lake.
The boat shook violently, and the two thieves who had just stepped on the boat had not yet stabilized their bodies. A few figures came out of the water, pulling and falling, and the two were dragged into the water, only to see the water splash around the boat a few times, and slowly there was no movement, and a stream of blood red came out of the water.
In a moment, there was only one captain standing on the boat, and many figures suddenly appeared on the side of the two flower boats.
One after another, the small boats quickly approached, and the two other boats appeared on the militia sergeant, the captain of the brocade clothes, shouting to drive away some cruise ships that wanted to come over to see the excitement.
Mu Zhongren was lying on the floor of the boat, and suddenly heard a noise below, a series of footsteps going upstairs, and he was scared, didn't he leave? Why did you come back so soon?
Bending over and turning his head to look at the stairs, he saw several sturdy men in shorts and wet at the top of the stairs. One of the first people shouted: "But Mu Zhongren? A few steps forward, he tore off the cloth in Mu Zhongren's mouth.
Mu Zhongren nodded mechanically.
The man crouched down and asked, "Have you been killed or injured by thieves?" “
Mu Zhongren's heart shook and shook his head. The man took out the dagger and picked it between Mu Zhongren's feet, and then leaned behind Mu Zhongren, and Mu Zhongren's hands were loosened. Just look at the rest of the men to the side of the ship, pull the curtains, and the cabin will be bright!
When Mu Zhongren was overjoyed, he couldn't help but cry......
Seeing the Jinyi Wei water ghost on the flower boat gesticulating, Feng Liansheng shouted: "Let go of the arrow!" "The two brocade guards took their bows and arrows. Two arrows shot out in the air, and two arrow horns rang out. On the shore of the West Lake, a tourist took out one or two pennants from his bosom and stood on a carriage and waved them vigorously. On the other street, a man stepped on a wall and waved a flag against the other street......
Between a few respites, a spy in front of the bank rushed into the president's office in the inner courtyard of the bank and shouted: "Mu Zhongren is safe!" Rescued! ”
Qin Feng stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and shouted, "Take people!" No mercy! "Lao Tzu has been holding this breath in my heart for a long time!
Under an order, the quiet streets of Nanchang were suddenly like boiling water, and suddenly there was a loud whistle, and people in various costumes, hearing the rapid whistle, also took out the wooden whistle from their arms, blew it one by one, took out their weapons and rushed forward!
The palace has its own royal style, and there is no other building within 200 steps of the outer city wall of the palace, just like the people's square in later generations.
Six carriages had already entered the open field, and with half a cup of tea, they had entered the royal city, and the matter was a great success.
The son in the carriage looked back at the streets of Nanchang and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still good in the city!" The big girl, the little daughter-in-law, one is better looking than the other! ”
Wei Scarzi smiled: "Your mother, you went to the West Lake Qinglou Street!" Of course, it's good to see, Lao Tzu waited at the door of the bank for a day, and all the people he saw were big men. Just now on this street, there was nothing to see. ”
Childe said: "When I go back and divide the silver, I have to go into the city again!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of West Lake.
Suddenly! All kinds of shrill whistles sounded behind him! The streets were in chaos, and all kinds of people with weapons of all kinds poured out from all directions!
Jia Songtie blushed, rushing to the front with a spear, his heart was full of anger! If something happens to Mu Zhongren, the Mu family and the Wu family will have a grudge, and if it is not good, it will also affect the affairs between themselves and Wu Ying! Wu Ying is beautiful and well-behaved, she is fascinated by herself, these thieves dare to destroy, Lao Tzu will not pierce you!
Childe's face changed greatly: "Quick! Fast! Come on! ”
The bandits who were driving, flicked the whip, the horse was in pain, and ran hard, Wei Scar jumped out of the car and shouted: "Get out of the car, get out of the car and run!" ”
Except for the coachman, everyone else in the carriage jumped out of the carriage and followed the carriage towards the royal city! The carriage was a little less weight-bearing, and seemed to be a little faster.
The gate of the royal city also slowly opened, and a team of military horses poured out in front of the gate. The leader is Li Jian, the son of Wang Shizi, surrounded by the second leader of the bandits, Qi is in charge, and there are several fragrant cars and BMWs behind him.
The two of them looked nervous as the six carriages rushed towards them, and behind them were a group of chasers in various colors! There are also countless people who are watching the excitement and running behind!
The distance of the square is 200 steps, that is, about 300 meters! The bandits first sat in the carriage, and now they are suddenly running, and they are also full of energy, but the pursuers seem to be a little unable to keep up.
