Chapter 204: The Doom of Peace (Part 5)
In the western suburbs of Luoyang, there are two large-scale warehouses, the location is good, monopolizing the transfer and storage of goods, the south is by Luoshui Ferry, the north is the avenue leading to Chang'an, the daily vehicles and ships are diverging, the helpers are hundreds of coolies, pulling fibers, unloading, shouting the number, sweating like rain, lively and extraordinary, this force of hard work, can only bring a family of food and clothing to these guys, but can bring daily income to the main family.
These two warehouses, one is Dingwang Wuyouji, and the other is the family of Aili, a wealthy merchant in Shendu, with conspicuous flags hanging at the door, one is written Wuyun, and the other is written Weiai, but it is easy to distinguish clearly.
Today, the helper coolies of the Weiai warehouse are still busy, but there are some strangeness, there are a few leaders, always exchanging glances with each other, and there is a group of fresh faces in the team, not that no one has any questions, but there are leaders to help cover up, and no one is pursuing anything, after all, they all live by labor, it would be good to have a bowl of rice to eat, who has the heart to care about these and not?
"Hey...... Hehe...... "The coolies shouted the trumpet, pulled the black rope, pulled a huge cargo boat on the river to the ferry, carried it from morning to evening, only rested two incense sticks in the middle, hastily ate a lunch, the physical exertion was terrible, everyone blushed, leaned forward, moved forward step by step, the one in front, the body was almost parallel to the ground.
It was easy to put the ship on the berth, and tied a thick rope with the thickness of a wine glass to the post of the ferry, and the helpers walked towards the cargo ship with their heads down, covering the blood-red shoulders with thick palm pads, which were very prickly, but better than being pressed on the shoulders by heavy cargo boxes.
......The coolies were dumbfounded, and a group of people with sharp axes did not hesitate to cut on the thick rope, and in a few strokes, they were cut off, and the fixed boat was immediately released and drifted away along the current.
A group of people with axes are all wearing coarse cloth and short beatings, they are also the same hard-working people, they are not bitter ha, they are all hideous and ruthless, raise their wrists, and raise the axe high, "Don't go forward, the axe in the hand of the master does not recognize people"
The coolie leader was bleeding in his heart, and he roared hoarsely, "Quick, put the raft down, stop the boat, stop"
A boat full of goods, if they just run away, the amount of money to be lost is not a small amount, they are one hundred and ten people, and they can't get out of the bankruptcy, they really want to force people to death, and they reasoned with a bitter face, "Long Wu, you, what are you doing?" The money you should give is not less than yours, you have to leave someone a way to live."
Long Wu is the leader of the gang with axes, standing with his eyes, shaking his legs, and maintaining a little respect for the leader, "Fourth Brother Li, everyone has to live, you give you money, I don't harass you to work, but take people's money, eliminate disasters for people, there are big officials who give money, I have to do things, don't blame me, if you blame me, then I can't help it, use the axe to meet you"
Fourth Brother Li wanted to say something, but he heard a terrible scream in the river, and the coolie who was holding the bamboo raft to block the cargo ship was about to succeed, but another boat caught up, and beat him with a penny to cover his face, knocking people out of the river, not to mention, but also jumped out of the boat gang and snatched the cargo ship away.
Fourth Brother Li's eyes were split, "Long Wu, you deceive people too much......"
"I can't live, I can't live, brothers, fight with them"
In the group of coolies behind him, there was a loud shout, and some people distributed sticks and hammers and other things, swarming up, and Fourth Brother Li stood in front of him and opened his arms, shouting loudly to block, but he did not block it.
The two gangs collided violently, the group with the axe was experienced, the weapons were sharp, and in a blink of an eye, they cut down a lot of coolies, and the coolies were not afraid of death.
"Whatever you do, stop, put down the murder weapon, and kneel down honestly"
The bright horizontal knife surrounded this group of coolies, the official errand arrived, the number was not many, most of them had confidence in their own majesty, there were only twenty or thirty people, and several blue-robed officials led the team to press the formation, but they all stood on the ground, holding the reins of horses.
A few people sitting on the horse, swaggering, wearing cyan silk clothes and dark hats, are obviously a noble slave, with a full face of pride, showing a sinister smile at the shopkeeper of the warehouse, toasting without eating and drinking, there is a life lawsuit, and it depends on how you and a businessman wrestle with Princess Taiping's mansion, Princess Yiyang's mansion, hum, it's just a broken household in the royal family.
"Brothers, Princess Taiping's Mansion is dying, let's get up"
"Ah, it's a death anyway, brothers, fight, fight, if you want to die, you have to pull a few pads"
"If you want to die, you have to spray the blood of Princess Taiping's mansion"
There was a sudden shout in the crowd of coolies, and some people rushed to the side of the official messenger and grabbed the horizontal knife for a while, and there were also people next to him who led a large group of coolies to rush over, all holding machetes and kitchen knives in their hands, but their target was not the official messenger, and they directly cut down the Tsing Yi officials, and cut the dumbfounded slaves into a blur.
Fourth Brother Li was wrapped in the crowd, chopping the slaves with the snatched horizontal knife, blood kept splashing on his face, the whole person was terrifying, he was already numb, he just made trouble and cut Long Wu, and now he took the lead in killing the official, he didn't know it, wave after wave in front of him, like singing, forced him to a dead end, and the honest man was also ferocious.
"Da da da ......" The sound of dense horse hooves came, and the officers and messengers of the brigade waited for all the people present, and they didn't know how to get it, the Hao slave of Princess Taiping's mansion still had a living mouth.
On the official road of the eastward journey of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, a group of government soldiers escorted a car to drive around, this team is a little special, there are many people wearing the costumes of dancing gods, running all the way, and some sacrificial flags are flying in the wind.
In the car, Wen Changjie sat with a frown, spring is the season of sowing, and it is also the most abundant node of the oil and water of the Duzhi Division, which can make him earn a lot of money every time, although he wants to share some profits for the prince of the Li family in exchange for shelter, but he is not a fool, from the past he has a secret one or two percent, to now, through the hands and feet on the account, he can swallow fifty percent.
This sea festival is also an opportunity, just convenient for him to check some doors, whether it is Goryeo, Silla, or even the Wa Kingdom, as long as he can leave this place that I don't know whether it is called Datang or Dazhou, he can do it anywhere.
is nominally the young master of the house, but in fact, almost a man is his godfather, and the sticky smell makes him breathless.
"The money is inconvenient to carry, and it is better to exchange the money and silk for gold and silver as soon as possible" Wen Changjie calculated in his heart, and he didn't know that the channel for Zixun was unreliable, but the money was too ruthless, and the effort to change hands had to be pumped by 20%, but it was because he was ruthless that Wen Changjie would believe him.
On the road ahead, there are many people, almost the same officials, black clothes, black boots and black hats, there are only about a dozen people, less than one-tenth of the number of government soldiers, but the copper prison token in their hands is enough to make these government soldiers frightened and dare not move at all.
The carriage and horses stopped suddenly, shaking Wen Changjie, who was not in his mind, and slammed on the carriage with a bang, Brother Gongzi's temper was unbearable, he lifted the curtain and kicked the coachman off the wheel, grabbed the whip, and beat him all the way without a head or tail, "The pickled bastard slut who has suffered a thousand knives, the magic obstacle can't be done, dare to hurt the master, and he can't kill you"
"Ahh......h The master spared his life, and there was an official errand ahead" Wen Changjie's physical strength was not good, and the whipping was not very painful, but the coachman was experienced, and he rolled and screamed again and again, and hurriedly explained the matter clearly.
Wen Changjie twisted his face and turned his head, and with a flower in front of him, he saw a black impermanence.
Dengfeng County, at the foot of Song Mountain, Quan Ce helped Princess Yiyang out of the carriage and looked up for a moment.
"Mother, father has left Songyang Academy and moved to the mountains, before coming here, my son has made arrangements, and the other courtyard here has been cleaned up, you see ......"
"My son thinks properly, the etiquette can't be wasted, let's go see him first" Princess Yiyang smiled slightly, holding Quan Zhu with one hand and Quan Zhu with the other, without any sorrow and sorrow, which opened Quan Ce's mind.
