It's night,

In a valley, a group of people and horses, holding scattered torches, came here scolding.

This is a group of about 1,000 officers and soldiers escorting more than a dozen large prisoner carts, and when they arrived here, it was completely dark, and there were still more than 20 miles away from the next city, and the prisoner carts were escorting the leaders of Jiulong Village.

Their original plan was not to spend the night, but at noon, the road they passed through had a landslide, so they were busy all afternoon in order to clear the road enough for the prisoner cart to pass, so they were delayed and did not arrive at the scheduled destination.

Now the people are thirsty and tired.

"Camp and rest." As soon as they heard the order of the commander who led the team to rest, the officers and men fell to the ground in a mess.

But they didn't see it, not far from where they were resting, in a wood, a group of men and horses were lying in ambush, staring at them quietly.

It can't be blamed that they are not vigilant, but in this era, the soldiers in the interior are all such bird virtues, and under normal circumstances, no one dares to provoke an army of more than 1,000 people, unless you are ready to rebel.

"Kill......"

A loud shout echoed through the silent night sky......

Then the sound of horses' hooves, the clashing of weapons, the wails of pain, and the sounds of panicked flights......

……

……

"Sir, it's rare not to be busy today, the younger brother is doing the East Drunken Immortal Building, everyone is going." Xia Haibo said happily, can he not be happy? His family collected more than 100,000 pieces of grain, and according to the rice mill given by Cao Yan, he found that Cao Yan actually said that the rice yield was more than 60% and 5.

That means that even if there is no disaster in the second half of the year, his family can double the income.

"Yes, sir, Brother Xia today, please, no one will rob me tomorrow, tomorrow I will ask ......"

"Don't worry, don't grab it, everyone will come in turn."

……

It's still the drunken fairy building, the private room where everyone fought for the first time.

Cao Yan was very emotional.

After all, everyone was also chased by the unification enemy here.

The jokes of the time were also told at the banquet.

Suddenly, on the side of the riverbank, there was a commotion.

Very intense.

Everyone hurriedly got up and looked over there.

But everyone laughed when they saw the people chasing and beating.

Except for Cao Yan.

He looked at the crowd a little puzzled, didn't know what they were laughing at, and asked, "Who are these people who were beaten and bleeding?" Why do you eat a bully meal at noon? The few people who were chased and beaten were holding their heads, Cao Yan really didn't see who it was, thinking that it was noon now, Cao Yan could see it a few times occasionally when he ate the overlord meal and was beaten.

"Sir doesn't know?" Xia Haibo asked with a smile, he was a little puzzled by this.

Isn't this nonsense? I know I'm still asking a fart! Cao Yan gave him a blank look and didn't speak.

"It's Cui Juncai, Zhang Wenrui, and the four of them." Someone explained it to Cao Yan.

"The four of them?" Cao Yan took a closer look, it was really the four of them, but weren't they the four great talents? Shouldn't it be a handsome boy? How did it end up in this scene?

Obviously discovering Cao Yan's puzzlement, Luo Ming spoke: "It's been making trouble since last night, the reason is very simple, according to the news revealed by the people who chased them, just when you were collecting grain, the four of them made a series of tricks, wanting you to collect bankruptcy, and then mobilize the people to besiege your Zhuangzi, and then they took advantage of the fire to rob and take over all the grain you collected at a low price, but I didn't expect that Brother Cao's money was more than they imagined, and all the grain they collected at a loss was eaten by you, Many of these people have lost half their life savings, do you think they can not hate those four? ”

"yes!" Someone continued: "When there was trouble yesterday, I went to see it, and those people didn't bring their families yesterday, and they were driven out by Cui Juncai and them with a lot of people, and I guessed at that time that they would definitely go back to gather relatives and friends to help, and it seems that it was right." ”

"Hehe," after listening to their explanation, Cao Yanna began to be a little bit of a stop because he didn't know who it was, and was instantly covered up by a gloating mind, "Actually, I still have to thank them, charge seven or eight hundred wen a stone, plus the travel fee to sell me five hundred wen, really a good person!" Cao Yan sighed deeply.

Cao Yan was happy, and some people were a little unhappy, and scolded indignantly: "As soon as Mr. said this, then we would be annoyed with them, and they didn't even sell us a single bucket, doesn't this look down on us?" ”

"Yes, the price of rice is now two percent higher than usual, and those rice merchants are selling two yuan and five hundred wen and one stone."

"That's right," Cao Yan frowned, is this considered a good intention? Doesn't this add to the burden on those poor people who want to buy rice at a high price? So he asked, "By the way, I'm going to rent a shop in the city and sell rice at a cheap price, what do you think?" ”

These words made everyone's hearts tighten, and they hurriedly asked, "What price is Mr. going to buy?" Although they said that they were dragged by Cao Yan to collect rice at a high price, they still wanted to make money in essence.

Of course, Cao Yan knew what they were worried about, and said with a smile: "Since it is parity, then it must be two runs." ”

"Haha, Mr. is still really sweet." Hearing Cao Yan's answer, everyone put their minds at ease and laughed, they can double the price of this price, which is enough, and those rice merchants can't, first of all, their purchase price and freight will be more than seven or eight hundred Wen, and the rice yield of more than forty percent is the cost of light to the consistent six or seventy-one stone rice, plus the storefront, labor, if you sell twice, then there is nothing to earn.

"And where is the gentleman going to open a rice shop?"

"Well, I'm too troublesome, so I'm going to open it near my house, do any of you know someone who has a store here? You can sell or rent. Cao Yan asked.

Everyone present groaned, and after a while, a few people spoke, "Our family seems to have a house in that area." ”

At this time, several people spoke, and they all looked at Cao Yan with a little expectation, which made Cao Yan a little unsure of how to choose.

Seeing Cao Yan embarrassed, Luo Ming said: "Wait until the meal is over, everyone will take Brother Cao to have a look, and when the time comes, see which one he likes, and choose which one." ”

Cao Yan nodded, agreed with Luo Ming's words, pointed to the people in the fierce chase over there, and asked, "This is reasonable, but why don't we go with us now to see the excitement?" The house can't run there anyway, and the excitement is missed, tomorrow there is no to see the two said, or tomorrow to see the house, today to see the lively. ”

Everyone followed Cao Yan's point, and looked at the lively place again, and it can only be said that as long as everyone likes it, there is a sea of people over there, and it is blocked, which also blocks the escape route of the four people.

However, the people present are all pampered people, and the subordinates in the mansion of the four talented people help block the attacks of others, this chase and fight, there is no strength at all, and they don't hold weapons, only rely on fists, then there is no lethality, and after fighting for a long time, it is only some skin injuries, Cao Yan looks anxious when he looks at it from such a distance, he thinks that he should be able to get close to help them guide one or two.

"Sir's words are reasonable, or don't eat this meal, and we'll find another place to eat after watching the excitement."
