Chapter 138: Catch Chang Kai's good fortune
Hearing the angry shouts of the official, Zhou Qingyun, who was standing quietly, immediately changed his face, Zhang Jinbei and Li Degui had expressions that dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, only Li He's eyes were rolling thoughtfully.
The smile on Zhu Da's face was still the same, not even much reluctant, the official attitude was extremely poor, quite unreasonable, but the words were not said to death, the messenger in the city probably knew that Zhu Da had just seen the messenger cavalry, and he could also deduce that Zhu Da had understood that the outside of the city was safe now, so he emphasized that "you can't enter the city now."
"Get out of here, don't delay your fortune and don't search!" The official in the back was a little anxious, and said something without hesitation, but fortunately he changed it, which confirmed Zhu Da's guess.
Tomorrow into the city, the day after tomorrow, when these anxiously waiting refugees and rich and decent people know the news, they are not willing to spend the price for entering the city, when the time comes, entering the city is a common thing, there is no delay, and there is no need to spend more money, strictly speaking, the officials have enough leeway.
However, Zhu Da didn't want to delay outside the city any longer, the dry food in the team had been exhausted, and now there was another two or three-year-old girl to take care of, and more importantly, there was an accident outside the city. I can't afford to gamble, I don't dare to bet.
At this time, not only the officials were anxious, but even the various people waiting behind were also impatient, for those who were waiting, the threat of the Mongolian horse team still existed, and there might be a disaster of death at a later moment, looking at the front grinding, how could you not be in a hurry.
But this embarrassment didn't last long, Zhu Da took out some scattered silver from his arms, shook it in his palm and clenched it tightly, and said with a smile: "Poor master, how many steps will we take to talk?" ”
Although Zhu Da's movements are very fast, the characters who are old in the yamen have a sharp eye on the money, and in the flash just now, the one who talked to Zhu Da has already estimated it, almost two taels of silver.
It's actually real silver, and I know that I don't do things in person, and when the time comes, it's my own decision to share the profits with my companions, this is not small, the official was swept away with anxiety on his face, replaced with an ambiguous smile, and praised a few words and said: "In the end, it is a relative of Xiucai Xianggong, that is, he knows how to do things, I will lead you to the middle of the suspension bridge to talk, and the brothers will be busy first." ”
Seeing that they were in the game, the officers and young men behind them also smiled, some rubbed their hands, some licked their lips and said "It's open", and the ugliness varied.
"What is this poor master called? What kind of errand do you do in the yamen? Zhu Da said with a smile.
"The surname is Kai, the Kai of Triumph, I can't write the words, and I will be a deputy catcher in the county government express class!" The official said with a big grin.
The county government fast class is the fast group, responsible for catching thieves and maintaining law and order in the county, the head is the head catcher, everyone is often called the "chief catcher", the title of "deputy head catcher" seems to bluff people, but the water is very large, it sounds like the deputy head catcher, but in fact there is no such position, every fast catcher in the fast class calls himself the deputy head catcher.
Yuan Biao doesn't know much about this kind of knowledge, but many people in Zheng Jiaji understand this very well, and there are familiar ones in the salt stack, and Zhu Da naturally understands it.
"It turned out to be Chang Kaishen, no, Chang Catcher, please take care of you after entering the city." Zhu Da inexplicably said the wrong name, and smiled and flattered.
The two of them walked to the middle of the suspension bridge, and most of the errand officers and Minzhuang went to the side of the suspension bridge, and the place where the card was set up to check was where the fortune was, and no one had passed by here for the time being.
After standing still, Zhu Da spread out his hand, almost two taels of broken silver were in the palm of his hand, and he said with a smile: "Chang Catch, this silver is given by the elders of the family, please make it convenient for us to let a few brothers in, this is regarded as a filial piety for you to drink tea to relieve fatigue, what do you think?" ”
Chang Kai is a fat man in his thirties, with a vicious appearance on his face, his small eyes are half-squinted at this time, as if to cover up the more greedy look in it, he can see that the broken silver in Zhu Da's palm is in good condition, and the incision is very bright, indicating that the silver was cut from the silver ingots not long ago, these people have knives and horses, and their family background must be good.
Two and a half children, three poor young men, and two little girls, such a team is nothing, if you call a few guys to do it, even if there is no deposit, the two horses and weapons can also be sold for money, these two girls are sold to the surrounding prefectures and counties are not insured, but if they are sold to the caravan, no one cares, and if they are trampled to death, they will be buried casually, or they will not be sold back to the Mongols.
Chang Kai, the head catcher, is smiling in his heart, you are a half-sized boy who understands everything, the world is transparent, but you don't know the truth that wealth is not exposed, you think that you have done it, and there is a talented godfather, wait for you to be cooked, and throw it outside the city to feed the wild dogs.
This Chang Catcher made a dirty plan in his heart, but the smile on his face became a lot kinder, and the movements in his hands were not slow, and he went directly to take the broken silver, which was a good start.
But as soon as his hand touched the silver, he was firmly grasped by the half-sized man he despised on the other side, Chang Kai's body was much fatter than Zhu Da, he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his arm, and he also felt that he could easily withdraw it, but he never thought that the half-sized hand on the other side seemed to be cast of iron.
"Bastard" Chang Kai scolded angrily, his left arm was raised and he was about to swing his fist, but his arm froze there halfway through, the shiny dagger was on top of his chest and abdomen, and the position of the dagger was very tricky, and the people at the city gate and the card could not see it, because it was covered by the arm.
The tip of the dagger had already pierced his clothes, making Chang Kai's skin feel a little cold, and he was about to pierce it a little further, and the half-sized man in front of him still had a courteous smile on his face, at noon, the weather was also a little stuffy, but Chang Kai was cold all over his body, as if he was in an ice cave.
"Chang Catcher, do you think that we are all ignorant cubs, do you think that I am exposed, do you think that the current war is in chaos, and when the time comes, we will be killed after robbing us, God is unaware, people should not be too greedy, they should be content if they take some benefits, what are you thinking about in your heart?" Zhu Da smiled and spoke, but his tone was cold.
Chang Kai was so frightened that the hairs on his body exploded, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle but held back, and stammered and explained: "Little brother, what are you thinking about, our errand men are all talking and taking money to do things, how can they do this kind of unconscionable deed, aren't you afraid of the royal law?" You move the knife backwards first, you have something to say, there is something to say! ”
Zhu Da's hand did not loosen in the slightest, the dagger did not retreat a little, the smile on his face became more and more gentle and flattering, and his words were still so cold: "Chang Zhutou, you have to think about a few things clearly, if you want to be endless, wait to get out and shout to your companions to deal with us, we may have to die, but we will definitely kill you before we die, do you think these people in the yamen are willing to work hard for you and stop us for you, I think clearly, have you thought clearly?" ”
After saying these two sentences, Zhu Da smiled and said again: "You still hold these broken silver, and you won't come out of it." ”
Chang Zhutou looked at Zhu Da with wide eyes, the half of the eldest son in front of him was half his age, but he could think about the cause and effect of things so clearly, just like a roundworm in his stomach, he could figure out all the twists and turns, Chang Zhutou looked at Zhu Da with wide eyes, and suddenly he was deflated, and said weakly: "This little brother, no, this little master, what you say is what it is, let's go into the city, let's not delay the business later." ”
Zhu Da still didn't let go, and said with a smile: "Then you don't say hello to the head catcher?" ”
Chang Kai's face turned a little dark, but he still forced a smile and shouted at the suspension bridge: "Brothers, this little brother and his family are good citizens, let them go!" ”
He shouted here, and immediately opened the card over there, Zhou Qingyun and they led the horse and walked over, after seeing them pass the card, Zhu Da immediately let go of his hand, and the dagger was also in the sheath, Chang Kai stood there for a while and didn't know what to say, Zhu Da smiled and said: "Chang Catcher, the benefits of these two taels of broken silver are still taken well, people can live happily if they are not greedy, Chang Catcher must think clearly!" ”
After finishing speaking, they walked towards the city gate, Chang Kai stood on the suspension bridge and was a little stunned, waiting for the familiar greeting from the card side, "Old Chang!" Still standing stupidly, come here to get busy, your good work is about to be snatched away! ”
This Chang Yu quickly shook his head, and hurriedly rushed to the side of the card, the closer he was to the team of the officials and the people, the more bold he became, and the anger became more and more intense, thinking that this time he was held by a half-sized man, and his back was soaked with fright just now, since he was on an errand in the fast shift, he had never suffered such a big loss, and he was really unwilling, listening to what the kid said, in the end, there were only a few people, don't get rich, lead everyone to do it, and I'm not afraid that I can't take it.
Just thinking about it, another group of big families crossed the bridge, and Chang Kai, who was familiar with him, couldn't help but complain and said: "Why did you delay for so long, it's that there is oil and water in the front." ”
Hearing this, Chang Kai was even more angry, and said that this loss can't be eaten like this, just when he was about to have a seizure, a strong man who came over from the city gate came to help him, and came close and said: "Chang Ye, just now those little brothers who entered the city asked where your family lived, and said that there was a local product to send you over, let me come and bring a message, Chang Ye, this is really a good luck!" ”
"What! You told him where my family lived? Chang Kai was stunned for a moment, then glared and asked.
The man who came to pass the word was full of ignorance, nodded and said: "That's right, such a good thing, the little one will be in charge of Chang Ye, and he specially asked the people around him who know where you live, Chang Ye, there will be this in the future."
Chang Kai's anger and malice disappeared in an instant, he clenched his fists, smashed the silver, and gained a lot, so forget it, just don't deal with this kind of young man in the future, this kind of person has dealt with too much, and he can't sleep even if he thinks about it.
