Chapter 873: The Bandits of the Bison Shop
Sun Datou's work efficiency was very high, and he came back before he finished his meal in Su Ren. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info went out with a smile on his face, but when he came back, he had a flattery on his face. respectfully held the certain gold that Huo Qubing gave him just now to Huo Quzhi, and said that he didn't dare to ask for anything, and those who refused were crying, as if Huo Qubing didn't take back his gold, Sun Datou would die.
Huo Quzhi was a little embarrassed, he wanted to behave in front of Su Ren, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending, he glanced at Su Ren, and saw Su Ren with a smile on his face, Huo Quzhi's face darkened: "What?" How dare you kid do nothing? Believe it or not, the master will kill you now? β
Sun Datou had already knelt down: "Huo Gongzi is angry, angry, the villain can't, your money villain will never dare to ask for it, if you ask for money, tomorrow you will see the villain's body hanging outside the city!" β
Huo Quzhi wondered, "What's the matter?" Those guys ate leopard gall and want to rob the master? β
Sun Datou is just running errands for the bandits, so naturally he doesn't know the inside story. But the bandits he went to talk about were all in one sentence, daring to take money from those people, and he would never see the sun tomorrow, so Sun Datou came back in a hurry to report. When he entered the city, Sun Datou found that this group of people was fat sheep, and it was worth it even if they fought to the death, so he was ready to triple the original price, but he didn't expect the robbers to refuse, which made Sun Datou afraid.
"Huo Gongzi, it's really not that villains don't do things, it's them, they ......"
"That's how they want to rob us?"
Sun Datou stopped talking, and he slammed his head on the ground and didn't dare to get up. Huo Quzhi waved his hand irritably: "Get out!" Let me see again that you will not be spared! β
Sun Datou ran away with a roll. Huo Quzhi and Sun Datou quarreled very loudly, and the diners outside could hear it clearly, and when Su Ren reacted, there were no more people left in the Ma family's wine shop. This is the rule of the bison shop, no one wants to deal with a dead man, no matter how burly, rich, and powerful the dead man is, once he is targeted by bandits, then he is already a dead man.
Hawking has already begun to arrange people to do the defense, the bandits are in the shadows and they are in the light, since they are ready to rob, it is estimated that this gang of bandits does not mind doing this work in the bison shop. The inn was surrounded by Su Ren's people, and the shopkeeper neither objected nor stopped it, and still stood behind the counter as usual with the crackling sound of the calculation fluctuations.
The people who had been sent out came back to report that there were no people to be seen in the streets, not even the beggars who were begging along the streets, and in an instant the whole bison shop had become an empty and dead city.
Su Ren ate a plate of fried bean sprouts, and didn't move a bite of mutton. In the process of everyone's fear, Su Ren burped when he ate. The shopkeeper served tea in a timely manner, and Su Ren nodded slightly to express his gratitude: "Shopkeeper, can you tell me about the robbers here?" β
The shopkeeper stopped, and said after giving a salute: "This bison shop is established by more than 30 bandits nearby, and the shops along the street are the places where the bandits contact are, these 30 bandits are big and small, the big ones are 1,000 people, and the small ones are 100 people, and the most ferocious and domineering one is a group of Qiang people who are twenty miles south of here, they claim to be from the Qiang land, there are many people, and the leader of the bandits is not very old, but he is ruthless, and the rest of the bandits are all their heads. β
"Oh? Do you know the origin of this group of bandits? β
The shopkeeper continued: "It is said that this group of bandits was not here before, they used to live under the plateau, where the water and grass are abundant and there is their own tribe, that is, a year ago suddenly appeared, when the number of people was not very large, in this year the Qiang people who wandered in Ganliang Dao were gathered, and a powerful tribe was formed, which became a tyrant in Ganliang Dao, and in the past, merchants needed to pay him a hundred percent of the profits, and those people did not want gold and silver, only food and materials. β
"So, it's a smart guy indeed, which shop is their point of contact?"
"Just across the street from the shop, their shopkeeper is still sitting at the door, and Childe please see that it's the one."
Following the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, Su Ren looked over. Just across from the Ma family's liquor store, a small fur shop huddled in the corner of a large adobe house, and if you don't look closely, you can't even see their disguise. The store is very small, and there are shopkeepers, clerks, bookkeepers, coolies, etc. The other shops in the vicinity have already closed their doors, and they are the only ones who continue to open their doors to do business.
Hawking sighed: "Big brother, that person seems to be ......"
Su Ren said: "It's him, let's go, how can I not say hello when I meet an acquaintance." β
Seeing that person, Su Ren remembered a lot of things ten years ago. He entered the Qiang land for the first time through Yuanshan and was the first Qiang person he saw. How to do business in that small tribe, how to provoke a fight between the Qiang, how to send those who make themselves friends to the door of death. Su Ren didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, acquaintances he hadn't seen for ten years.
Ke Muzhi lazily lay on a pile of fur and took a nap, ten years of wind and frost have turned the naΓ―ve and reckless Qiang boy into a resolute man. Ke Muzhi has a long scar on his face, which shows how cruel the battle has been over the years, and there will definitely not be too many times when he can have such comfort. The Yellow Sheep tribe is the largest tribe in Shilling Qiang, but now it has fallen into this situation, and Su Ren cannot escape the blame.
Hawking was the first to rush over, climbing the door frame of the small shop and looking in. Ke Muzhi closed his eyes and said lazily: "Don't look at it, he didn't come!" β
Su Ren smiled: "The third prince has always been good? β
Ke Muzhi ignored Su Ren and turned his back to him. Su Ren continued: "I haven't seen you for ten years, I am so surprised that the third prince is still alive, it is a great blessing to meet acquaintances in such a remote place, why don't we talk about the wine and talk from the bottom of our hearts?" β
The arrival of Su Ren and his group alarmed all the people in the shop, and they surrounded Ke Muzhi in the middle with sticks one by one, looking at Su Ren and his companions behind him vigilantly. Su Ren took a step forward: "The third prince ......"
"Don't call me the third prince, I'm just the shopkeeper of a small leather shop in a bison shop now, and I don't dare to call a master like Mr. Su a friend!"
Su Ren smiled again: "My friend doesn't care about his identity, as long as the person I fancy can be called my friend Su Ren even if he is a beggar, not to mention that the third prince is not just the shopkeeper of a small leather store, by the way, has Zhen Bo already led your team to wait outside the town?" This is not the Qiang style, I remember the first time I went to your tribe, you were the most friendly to us! β
"Humph!" Ke Muzhi turned over and sat up, both eyes were on fire: "It's a shame that Mr. Su still remembers, but I didn't expect us to lure the wolf into the room!" Yes, Jalan Zhenbo was indeed waiting outside the town, but Mr. Su guessed wrongly that he not only led our men and horses, but also all the soldiers and horses in the nearby thirty cottages, as if telling Mr. Su that we had deployed 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the town in order to keep Mr. Su here! β
"Oh? 5,000 soldiers is a lot! Su Ren smiled: "But I want to remind the third prince that at the beginning, there were no less than 5,000 warriors in your Yellow Sheep tribe alone!" β
"Yes! It's a pity that the warriors of our Yellow Sheep tribe, but today is different, we have seen clearly who is the biggest enemy, and we will not recognize the enemy as a friend, ten years will make our eyes light up! β
Su Ren sighed: "So, the third prince has made up his mind, and there is no room for negotiation?" β
Ke Muzhi stared at Su Ren fiercely: "What do you say?" β
Su Ren nodded: "What I said, I still have to persuade the third prince, this Ganliang Dao is the territory of my Han Dynasty, you Qiang people should go back to the Qiang land, staying here is not a matter after all, if I were the third prince, I would never come to Ganliang Dao, let alone make a move on my friends." β
"Hehe, hahaha......" Ke Muzhi suddenly laughed: "It's all this time, Mr. Su still says such things?" If I Ke Muzhi loses again this time, I will never mention this matter again, and from now on, my Qiang people will no longer set foot in Handi! Mr. Sue, would you like to bet with me? As soon as you leave the buffalo shop, I swear to the gods that I will capture you and take you to my father's tomb to pay your respects! β
"The deal is fair, it's settled!" Su Ren raised his palm and high-fived Ke Muzhi as a teacher, turned around and walked towards the Ma family wine shop, without too much entanglement.
Except for Hawking and Shi Bao, the rest of the people here don't know much about the grievances between Su Ren and Ke Muzhi. So it was a little strange that the Qiang people hated Su Ren so much. Although Su Ren is the culprit of the chaos in the Qiang land, the general reason is the hatred between the Qiang people, if the Qiang people are as united as the Han Dynasty, even if Su Ren makes waves, such a great change will not occur.
The shopkeeper of the Ma family wine shop had already removed the wine and food, only put a pot of tea on the table, and after settling everyone down, he continued to go about his own business, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him. Hawking frowned, and followed behind Su Ren step by step. Huo Qu was extremely happy, seeing that there was about to be a big war, he was already impatient.
After drinking a cup of tea, no one spoke, waiting for Su Ren to speak first. Until all the pots of tea were drunk, Su Ren was silent. Wang Hui was the first to sit still, so he moved his chair to Su Ren: "General Su, what should we do?" There are 5,000 bandits outside the town, and I'm afraid that our current number of people will ......."
Su Ren smiled: "It's just a bandit, what's the matter if it's 100,000?" Whether it's the Yuanshan thieves or the Qiang people, no matter how much they have, it won't work! β
"......"
"Yushi puts his heart in his stomach, we will leave for Chang'an in three days, and General Ben promises that there will be no problems!" After Su Ren finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Han Qing, Han Qing nodded slightly, Su Ren smiled, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, today's wine and food are good, this general wants to drink gruel at night, I don't know if you also bought other people's porridge recipes from Chang'an?" β
