Chapter 172: Ambush and Kill

Liu and Kuan compromised.

He didn't want to kill Xu Xian in the city, and in order to make Xu Xian leave the city earlier, he would rather take out four hundred stone of grain.

In Dasheng Kingdom, there are almost more than 120 catties of grain for one stone, and more than 40,000 catties for 400 stones, because the catties and taels in this year are lighter than those in later generations, so that this batch of grain also weighs more than ten tons.

Xu Xian wanted to escort more than a dozen tons of grain back to Yanshan County, which did not seem to be an easy task.

In these years, it is not easy for a two-wheeled carriage to transport four or five hundred catties of goods, so it is necessary to transport nearly a hundred carriages to transport this batch of grain.

Liu Youkuan was even more "kind-hearted", it seemed that he was afraid that Xu Xian would not be able to transport this batch of grain, so he actually borrowed five carriages from Xu Xian, so Xu Xian had eleven carriages under him, even so, there was still a big gap between transporting all this batch of grain.

"Xu Hanwen, don't say that the official didn't remind you, you can't transport so much food to you, why bother to be boring?" Song Huazhu looked very proud, and said in a mocking tone in front of Xu Xian.

Xu Xian said: "Whether the grain can be transported away is one thing, but whether to give it is another matter, the official is ready to transport some of it back first, and the rest can be picked up when he comes back, or he can also hire some more horsemen and carriages to transport it away for the official at one time!" ”

"Haha!" Song Huazhu sneered, "If you want to find a carriage, it's easy, there are many places to hire a carriage in the city, it depends on whether you have any silver, ha, I forgot that you suppressed bandits in Yanshan County, you should have seized a lot of silver, maybe you can really transport all this grain away?" ”

After Song Huazhu finished speaking, he also stood beside him, as if he deliberately wanted to see Xu Xian's joke.

Xu Xian was not in a hurry, so he asked his subordinates to take the carriage to the granary of Hejian Mansion together, and moved bags of grain out of the warehouse, and transported them one by one in the direction of the post station.

A sack of grain is about 50 catties, and a cart transports ten bags of grain, and then people send it to the post station.

Fortunately, it was not far from the post station to the granary, but even so, it took three or four hours to transport all the grain outside the post station, because there was no storage place in the post station, so Xu Xian could only let people pile up the grain outside the post station and send his men to guard it to prevent it from being robbed.

Bai Suzhen has been watching Xu Xian lead people busy, and she is also wondering why Xu Xian is doing this, but she thought about it carefully: "If I help the officials transport these grains, it won't take long to transport the grains back to Yanshan County, but how can the officials not be suspicious?" ”

Early the next morning, Xu Xian sent someone to hire a carriage in the city, Xu Xian gave a very high price, from Yanshan County to transport a batch of grain back, just give two taels of silver, before and after ten days can go back and forth, for those who have a carriage, the price given is really difficult for them to refuse.

At first, the carriage was not enough, but as the news was announced, in the end, Xu Xian had to choose the specifications of the carriage, and carriages that were too small or too old would not be among the candidates.

Before noon, dozens of carriages were selected, plus the previous eleven carriages, a total of ninety carriages, and even the grain was loaded by Lifu.

After Liu Youkuan learned the news, he coughed in pain in his prefect's yamen, also because he was not cured, so that Xu Xian was angry and became more ill.

“…… Lord Prefect, the kid surnamed Xu said that he would leave at noon today, and asked to open the city gate, you said...... Is it allowed to open the city gate? "Song Huazhu came to Liu Hekuan to ask for instructions.

Liu Youkuan's teeth were rattling, and he said angrily: "He goes, let him go, kill this kid tonight, and then transport these carriages and grain back, I'm angry with the official, this kid is simply the reincarnation of a bad star, and the official has to crush him to ashes!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Song Huazhu hurriedly responded, "Your Excellency, please be good, the lower official will definitely let him come and go, let him get out of his way now, and he will appear in front of you as a corpse at night." ”

"And his woman, the county lord, must be sent to the official together, cough cough, the anger that the official suffered on this kid, he must make up for it, cough cough, go and do something!" Liu Youkuan will already be in a rage, and the whole person is also very out of shape, Song Huazhu knows that if he stays longer, he will offend Liu Hekuan, so he is busy doing things.

After coming out, Song Huazhu was still a little disappreciative in his heart: "As a dignified five-grade fellow intellectual, I don't even have any face in front of the prefect, alas, this official is also boring!" ”

……

……

Xu Xian finally set off.

At noon, Xu Xian set off with his mighty team, and Xu Xian did not hire any coachmen and escorts, but just let the coachmen of those carriages go with them, and these coachmen would walk the two hundred miles on foot, which was also to reduce the weight of the carriage.

Xu Xian took people out of the city, Song Huazhu came out to see him off, Song Huazhu had a smile on his face at this time, but he was already thinking about how to let Xu Xian be broken into pieces.

"The prefect also has nothing to do with himself, so he simply found someone to kill him in Yanshan County, why bother to find this person in Fucheng to be angry with himself? The nobles in the capital are also yes, they want to kill people, but they don't do it themselves, they say that they are sending people out, and now these people are gone, these nobles are also unreliable, and they still have to rely on Hejian Mansion's own people to kill people! ”

After Song Huazhu sent Xu Xian out of the city, he came back to arrange with his subordinates, so that these people could secretly follow Xu Xian to prevent Xu Xian from disappearing on the road.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go, I'll go." The captain of the city gate, who had blocked Xu Xian and was beaten by Song Huazhu, came over and recommended himself, "This kid, you have to dismantle him, I will follow him, there will be no problems." ”

Song Huazhu nodded and said: "Okay, you can go as you go, but you have to remember, if you lose someone, you don't have to come back, you will have to slaughter him when he camps tonight, if he doesn't camp, then do it on the road, you don't have to participate in these things, you only need to be responsible for informing him of his whereabouts to the contact person!" ”

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, please!" The lieutenant hurriedly took the men on his way.

After Song Huazhu arranged for his brother-in-law to follow him, he went back and arranged for the people to ambush, because he had already sent a lot of people before, in order to be cautious, he directly sent five hundred soldiers this time, so as to rob and kill Xu Xian on the road.

"The kid surnamed Xu, even if you have the ability again, this time you still have to die without a place to be buried, not only to kill you, but even your relatives will not be able to do well, since you have arrived in Hejian Mansion, you must understand that everything here is in charge of Governor Liu's mansion, you are just a lowly ant!"
