Volume 1 The Story of the Robbery Chapter 107 The Pigeon Messenger
"Childe, I'll be careful myself."
It's not something you can hide from by being careful, Wang Laohu thought.
"Childe, I know you're thinking about my safety, but the sooner Bian Yifang is laid out, the better, and I'll have to face this sooner or later, and it's a weak thing to do."
"What Miss Cheng Cheng said is reasonable, but I am too careful."
The next day, Wang Laohu and Cheng Cheng rode to Hangzhou City, accompanied by Rong Yu, six personal guards, and four female guards.
The soldiers on the road were divided into two routes, because Wang Laohu was going to Anji Qingshuikou on the way, so Cheng Cheng and Rong Yu led four female guards to rush to Hangzhou first.
Anji Qingshuikou.
A little beggar wanders the streets, and this little beggar is Pan Tai, who looks left and right, picking out those unfamiliar faces. He'd found his target, a well-dressed boy with his purse pinned to his waist. He pretended to be in a hurry, bumped lightly beside him, and then walked back eagerly, and not far away, Pan Tai took out the money bag he had just stolen and smiled.
"Mother, I'm back." Pan Tai shouted as he carried a chicken into the door.
I saw that many people had already come to the house, and one of them was sitting at the table, and there were six guards with knives standing next to him. Needless to say, this person is Wang Laohu.
"Tai, you're back, your friends came to see me and bought me a lot of things." The old lady said.
Pan Tai looked at Wang Laohu: "My friend, my friend." Mother, my friend and I will go out first. Pan Tai said softly to Wang Laohu again, "I don't care who you are, don't come to harm my mother." ”
Wang Laohu followed Pan Tai to the outside of the house with interest.
"Now you can say, who are you and what are you looking for my mother for?" Pan Tai asked, puzzled.
"Pan Tai, you are a great filial son, you have always come, you are filial to your mother, it is rare."
"What the hell are you trying to say? I don't know you, you finish talking, and leave as soon as you're done. ”
"Are you happy with where you are? Do you want to go on like this? ”
"I'm doing well now, and I don't need outsiders to interfere in my life."
"Let's do two more today, how about it, how many? If you let your mother know that your money came from this way, what will she think, will she use the money you get? ”
"You're stalking me, who the hell are you?"
"Pantai, I know you have some pigeons, and these pigeons are carrier pigeons."
"Looks like Childe knows me well?"
"Got a little bit of it. I need someone like you, would you like to join me? ”
"That's what you're here for? Who are you? ”
"I'm King Terry Tiger."
"Wang Laohu? Haven't heard of it. Pantai shook his head.
"You remember my friend, two men and a woman, you used to shoot."
"Your friend? I don't remember. ”
"You can keep the bracelet."
"What bracelet?"
"Haha, Pan Tai, your psychological quality is good, which is one of the reasons why I admire you."
"This son, what else do you know about me?"
"You have good skills, last time my three friends couldn't catch you for half a day, it means that you have a hand."
"I remember, your three friends are good at martial arts, and I was caught by them to death."
"If you know some martial arts, they probably won't be your opponents."
"Childe thinks so highly of me?"
"Let's talk to you about the bracelet first, this bracelet is the only object left to her by her mother, you are also a filial son, you should understand the importance of the objects left by your mother."
"Childe, you don't need to say more, I'll give you back this bracelet."
"Okay, happy."
"Childe, since the bracelet has been returned to you, can you go?"
"Pan Tai, the purpose of my visit is already very clear, I want to ask you to come with me to the capital."
"Going to the capital? The affairs of the capital have nothing to do with me. ”
"It turns out that you are a coward, and this time you went to the capital to save a person, a Qing official."
"Find trouble with the court, Childe, are you too bold."
"Pan Tai, everyone has their own ambitions, sneaking around all day like you is a way to live, I went to the capital to save people, I may not be able to come back, it is also a way to live, but I live out of myself and live a wonderful life. What did you do when you were old, when your children asked you? How do you answer them. If your mother asks you, what do you do, do you want to keep deceiving like this? ”
Pan Tai was a little silent, what this son said was indeed reasonable, and it was indeed not a matter for him to steal like this? But I still have concerns. First, if she is gone, what will happen to the old mother? Second, what about those little brothers who follow them?
Wang Laohu seemed to see Pan Tai's difficulty, "If you are embarrassed because of your old mother, I can tell you now that your old mother, I, Wang Laohu, will send someone to take care of it." ”
"Thank you for being so important to Prince Wang, I have nothing to reciprocate, I can only follow Gongzi and swear to the death."
"With your words, it is not in vain that I have traveled thousands of miles to Qingshuikou."
"But, Childe, I still have something to ask for."
"Pantai, what do you have to do, please say. I can do what I can. ”
"I still have a few little brothers who are with me, and what will they do if I leave like this?"
"It's rare that you value love and righteousness, which shows that my vision is not wrong. Bring these brothers of yours, and if they want to come with me, I'm welcome. That way, at least they have something to eat. If you don't want to, I, Wang Laohu, give them some money and let them do some small business, and there is no need to steal chickens and dogs like this. ”
"I thank Childe for them."
Pan Tai's brothers arrived, Wang Laohu couldn't cry or laugh, these brothers were tall and low, and their ages were uneven. They wore shabby coarse cloth clothes, and their faces were not rubbish.
"You are all the brothers of Pan Tai, that is, the brothers of my king Laohu. But, Pantai, how old are they? ”
A small man came out and said, "Don't look at me short, I'm almost twelve." ”
"Is Twelve big?" Wang Laohu asked.
"Twelve can please a wife."
The little man's answer drew laughter.
In addition to four of these people, five are children.
"Pan Tai, these four brothers will follow us, five children, or go home and let them go to school."
"Reading? How can the poor have a book to read, so if they are allowed to go back, their parents will let them work as coolies again. Pan Tai replied.
"I'd like to meet their parents."
The little man was embarrassed and said, "I don't have parents." "It turned out that he was an orphan." This child will live at Pantai's house, anyway, Pantai is gone, and your mother and him just have a care. ”
Wang Laohu met with their parents one by one, gave them some money, which was not much, but it was enough to sustain themselves for a few weeks, and told them that when the spring of the next year begins, they can send the children to study for free at the Wangjia Academy in Taili County. They prostrated in thanksgiving.
Wang Laohu arranged for two neighbors and aunts to help take care of Pan Tai's mother, these neighbors are more familiar and closer, so it will be much easier to take care of them, Wang Laohu will pay them a certain fee every month, and ask them to take care of them. After arranging everything, it was already evening, and it seemed that I was going to live in this Qingshuikou at night.
Pan Tai's family was relatively simple, and Wang Laohu and the others lived in a hotel in the town.
The next day, Wang Laohu hired a new carriage to place Pan Tai's pigeons, and if they went with the carriage, the speed would be much slower, so Wang Laohu and Pan Tai, four personal guards, rode to the horse first, and the two personal guards and four brothers came slowly behind the carriage.
Less than half a day's journey to Hangzhou, Zhang Zheng had already sent someone to greet him.
Entering the mansion in Hangzhou, Wang Laohu, Rong Yu and Zhang Zheng entered the inner hall to discuss.
"Childe, how many days do you plan to stay in Hangzhou City?" Zhang Zheng asked.
"It's a long way to Beijing, so it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, but there are some things to deal with in Hangzhou, it's estimated that it will take two or three days."
"Feng Sheng has already handed over the matter here to me, and he has already led some of the special forces to the capital three days ago, so he didn't stay and wait for Gongzi."
"Time is pressing, Feng Sheng should be in the capital in the morning." Wang Laohu approvingly.
"I'll report to you about the matter in Hangzhou. After Feng Sheng arrived in Hangzhou, he bought two properties, one is our current mansion, which is to move in in the future, which is closer to the street and relatively lively, and the other is more hidden, and our agents are arranged there. ”
"Where the hell is that house?" Rong Yu couldn't help asking.
"It's better that you still don't know about the secret service." Wang Laohu said. What kind of organization is the secret team, except for Zhang Zheng and Feng Sheng, no one else knows where the special team members are and what they are doing. This is a matter of absolute secrecy, the highest level of secrecy.
