Li Dang rode a horse, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and a longbow in the other, came to Hawking and Shi Bao, and jumped off the horse with a dashing leg. Li Dang was sent by Shi Bao to spy on the fleeing merchants, and those who dared to stay were shot and killed. I don't know how many Li Dare killed, but there are a lot fewer arrows in the quiver.

Hawking saw that Li Dang's face was flushed, so he asked, "How is it?" Can it all be solved? ”

Li Dang nodded, put the bow and arrow away, shook the dust on his clothes, and wiped his sweat.

Shi Bao stretched out his thumb: "Awesome!" Now I really believe that the Li family's archery skills are the best in the world, look at this clean body, kill so many people, and only get a little dust. ”

Li Dang was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and just smiled, but he was very happy in his heart.

Sang Yuji understood the words of these people, as Liu Hong said, people have already prepared, hidden, face-showing, and ambushing. Although he didn't know who the last young man with a bow and arrow would be, it sounded like a big deal. He swallowed hard, not daring to look at Hawking again.

Shi Bao turned around: "Mr. Sang, you can understand what I said, if you understand, go back quickly, I am afraid that Liu Hong will be suspicious if it is too late." ”

Su Ren never slept, and sat in the courtyard with Han Qing to admire the moon. Today is the first day of the new year, there is not even a shadow of the moon in the sky, and a few dark clouds pass over the top of the treetops, blocking the sky light, leaving only a black hole. The northwest wind is very sharp, blowing on the face and making people feel excited. Huang 13 draped a quilt on Su Ren's body, and Su Ren hurriedly reached out to wrap the quilt tightly.

The filling in the quilt of the Han Dynasty was not cotton, but kapok. There is a big difference between the kapok tree and cotton, and the things used to fill the quilt are also different, the cotton filling quilt is cotton wool, while the kapok uses the bark and trunk. The fibers of kapok are not as long as cotton, so there is always a feeling of piercing the skin when covering the body. Even so, Su Ren did not find a substitute, who let the cotton not come in.

He poured himself another glass of wine, threw himself up and drank it, shivering: "Today is a good day." ”

Han Qing glanced up, he couldn't see anything in the black hole, and said with a smile: "Today's first day of the new year, it's still a cloudy day, where can Mr. see that it's good weather?" ”

"As the so-called moon dark kills people at night, the wind is high and the day is set on fire, and many things can be done at such a time."

Han Qing was stunned: "Who is Mr. going to kill?" ”

"Kill no one! Although those people from Huainan came to us, they didn't buy anything, and the goods they shipped back were shipped back intact, but it's a pity! ”

"Ahh Sir or did he send someone? ”

Su Ren said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, I am a court official, this Jiangsu is also my place, the merchants who come to Jiangsu have been killed and sold in our territory, who else will dare to come in the future?" ”

"Where are we?" Han Qing frowned: "Sir is going to make a move on the Huainan border?" ”

Su Ren glanced at Han Qing: "Why do you always press bad things on yourself?" They all said that it has nothing to do with us, so it has nothing to do with us, it was they who met the mountain bandits on the way back to Huainan and were robbed by the mountain bandits, do you know? ”

"Sir, I'm afraid this trick of covering your ears and stealing the bell won't deceive people."

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "Mr. Han still hasn't heard clearly, I'll say it again, this matter has nothing to do with us, it was the Huainan businessmen who met the mountain bandits, if you don't believe it, you can ask those businessmen when you get to Huainan." ”

Han Qing smiled helplessly: "Okay, even if it is a mountain bandit, but in the Huainan territory, there is that mountain bandit who dares to rob the prince of Huainan?" ”

"What's so great about the prince of Huainan? Since you can be a mountain bandit, what else is there to worry about? You may not dare to rob the king of Huainan, who can a mere Huainan prince scare? Su Ren squeezed his eyes twice at Han Qing: "It is said that there is a group of mountain bandits in Qingfeng Mountain on the border of Huainan, those people specialize in robbing rich merchants and pedestrians in the past, and now Huainan businessmen are swaggering through the market with so many things, how can the mountain bandits let go?" ”

"Blue wolf?"

"Sir, too?"

Han Qing nodded: "This blue wolf is very unusual, it is said that he was still an officer before, I don't know what the reason, he led people to roar in the mountains and forests, and became a mountain bandit, but this person has a characteristic, specializing in robbing past businessmen and officials, and he has no offense against the common people, and the people near Qingfeng Mountain love him, even more than the local officials, if there is a dispute, he does not belong to the government, but goes to Qingfeng Mountain to find the blue wolf to comment, which is also a strange thing in Huainan Kingdom." ”

"Oh? So, this person is still a bandit? ”

"Sort of! But whether it is a righteous bandit or a bandit, always a bandit, Mr. or don't have too close contact with this person, it is said that this person is ruthless and resourceful, in just half a year to unify the large and small cottages in the area of Qingfeng Mountain, become a tyrant of Qingfeng Mountain, King Huainan once sent troops to clear out, was forced to retreat by the blue wolf, but let Qingfeng Mountain in the hearts of the local people to break into a reputation. ”

"Such a talent, the king of Huainan doesn't even need it, it seems that this king of Huainan is a little clumsy."

"That's not it, it's not that the king of Huainan doesn't use it, but the blue wolf doesn't take the king of Huainan in his eyes."

"Hahaha, it's still a discerning one."

Han Qingdao: "Sir, shouldn't you have moved your mind to subdue the blue wolf?" ”

"Guess?"

The two asked and answered, and they were happy to talk. Suddenly, there was the voice of someone shouting for Maas. The brute bull hurriedly ran in and nodded at Su Ren: "I'm back!" A total of forty-three carts were all pulled back. ”

Su Ren was overjoyed, shrugged his shoulders and lifted the quilt off his body, and strode out of the door. In front of a temporary warehouse not far away, the lights are bright, and dozens of soldiers are unloading trucks. Looking at the posture of those people, you can see that the car is full of good things, and there are a few large wooden boxes that require seven or eight people to carry them down.

Hawking came to Su Ren with a smile on his face: "How is the eldest brother?" I said that I would get all the cars back, a total of forty-three cars, five hundred gold, no copper coins, and a lot of high-grade goods, probably eight hundred gold. We're getting rich this time! ”

Su Ren smiled: "Have all the people who went come back?" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, we didn't bother much, that Liu Hong is just a coward, just throw down other businessmen and run away after a little scare, without Liu Hong, how can the remaining businessmen be our opponents?"

"Okay, good, you have worked hard this time, tell your second girl, prepare some wine and food, and let the brothers have a good meal."

"Okay!" Hawking agreed, turned on his horse and headed towards the room.

Hawking left, and Shi Bao limped over with Li Kang's support. Su Ren said: "Don't pretend, if you pretend again, I'll let Lao Huang Zhen cripple you." ”

Shi Bao hurriedly straightened up: "Sir, it is really clever, those people really left from Qingfeng Mountain, but the blue wolf drove the people we sent back, it is estimated that that guy does not want to unite with us." ”

"If you don't unite, you won't unite, since you don't listen to us, let him carry the black pot and feel at ease." Su Ren patted Shi Bao on the shoulder: "Can you do what you want to do?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, everything is going well, that guy is a master who wants money and doesn't want to die, and it doesn't take much effort."

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "The people of the Sang family are like this, they still don't see me in Luoyi, their children and grandchildren are really not successful, no wonder ......, go down and rest." Su Ren stopped before he finished speaking.

Han Qing glanced at Su Ren: "Why didn't Mr. say it?" ”

"Say what?"

"Mulberry family! The gentleman's words were not finished. ”

"Don't say it, you stayed with me for half the night, and you went back to rest, right? They're all back, and I'm going to sleep. ”

Without waiting for Han Qing to say goodbye, Su Ren turned around and walked into the house. Han Qing was left standing on the side of the road, looking at Su Ren's back, thinking about his thoughts.

Sang Yuji couldn't sleep, he lay down for a while, sat up for a while, and simply opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the night outside the carriage. Everyone ran away, and their belongings were taken away. He was left with a carriage on the road. The guards he hired at a high price all ran away when Shi Bao was first threatened, but fortunately the driver was his slave, otherwise he would have to drive by himself at this time.

Sang Yuji really felt sorry for his money, it was all his savings for so many years, and once he was taken away, it was like cutting a big piece of meat from him, which hurt directly in his heart.

"Hey!" Sang Yuji sighed, feeling extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. As a businessman, they have no status in this world, they belong to the end of the four people, everyone wants to cut meat from them, if they don't tie up with the powerful, they will be swallowed up sooner or later. But this time he stammered with the wrong person.

"Hurry up, when will you be able to go home?" Sang Yuji urged the rider to speed up.

The rider hurriedly raised his whip and whipped it the back of the colt.

"How far is it from Shu County, this is the boundary of Qingfeng Mountain, and that blue wolf will appear at any time."

The driver looked left and right: "Back to the master, there are five miles to Shu County, at most half an hour can be reached, and you can enter Shu County before dawn at the latest." ”

Sang Yuji didn't speak again, put down the curtains, and sat in the car thinking about things. He drove himself to a dead end, with a cliff behind him and an abyss in front of him, and neither forward nor backward would end well. Fortunately, there was a single-plank bridge in the abyss ahead, and one foot had already stepped on it, so it could only go forward, and it had to be careful, because the slightest mistake would be lost.

There is a poem in "The Book of Songs 61 National Style" that talks about people's hatred of big rats, and the name is "Shuo Mouse". Later generations thought that it was the people who were dissatisfied with the exploitation of the exploiting class, but in fact they were talking about rats stealing grain and rice, and the people hated it. This big rat not only destroys the lives of the people, but also destroys the people's hard-earned receipts, which is really punished by everyone.

Big rat big mouse, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, what do I have?

Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight?

Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number?
