Chapter 42: There are robbers on the road

In the young master's mansion in Chengzhou City, the young master's son has just returned from the hotel, and now he has a fortune, and occasionally he can drink a little wine, and now he is drunk, and the eyes of the little maid who looked to the side were also confused, and when he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard a bang in the foyer outside the door, and it seemed that the door was kicked open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info was disturbed, and the son's anger immediately came up, and he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth, but he saw that it was his father, the young master, who came in, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

But seeing that the young master was still angry, he shouted as soon as he entered the door, "The kid is ruthless, I didn't think that the old man was still calculated." ”

Childe said in a daze, "Which kid dares to offend his father and doesn't want to live?" ”

The young master scolded, "Hmph, which kid did you say I was talking about, it's not that little hairy child, the milk stinks and hasn't dried yet." Forget about changing your land, but at the end of the day, you still counted the old man's land, the old man's land and slaves were all obtained by the ancestors, and the first king gave it, which is really unreasonable. ”

Childe was stunned for a moment, "Oh, the king, I think the king is very good, but even this son has money." ”

After figuring out the whole story, Childe smiled, "Father, why are you angry with the king, didn't the king send you a fortune, which is much more than in the field." "The son of this young master is still self-sufficient.

"What do you know? The king is taking the old man and other old nobles step by step, this is a slow knife to kill the cow, today he calculates your field, tomorrow he calculates you a little, in the end you are nothing, what is Yulu, how can you have the insurance produced in your own field. The young master said hatefully, perhaps with dissatisfaction with his son.

Seeing that he had been talking for a long time, his son-in-law was just submissive and did not say anything, so after scolding for a while, the young master stopped, after all, he could only scold.

However, in Chengzhou City, there are not many people with such a temper as the young master, because it is already the beginning of May, and the noble clan is celebrating, and the royal family is really trustworthy, and the beginning of this month's Yulu is sent to everyone. Looking at the royal warehouse, which was more than half empty, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel a lot of pain in his heart, this time it was 50,000 yuan spilled out, and there was no bubbling one, so he spent money to buy them at that time and not make trouble, but fortunately, the aristocratic clan's salary was paid monthly, and the soldier's salary was issued once every six months, otherwise there would be no tens of thousands of royal families. Think about it again, technology is really the first productive force, the garage, the winery and the hotel shopkeepers add up to less than 300 people, but they feed 500 people in the palace, 800 nobles, and 900 soldiers. However, in Zhou Bian's plan, the business needs to be further expanded, and soju alone is not enough, but this is a plan for the future.

And just when Zhou Bian was distressed about throwing money, in the Baifu in Luoyang City, he was beaming with joy, and the old housekeeper couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "The head of the family is really talented, this soju was bought for one hundred and fifty yuan, and it can be sold for three hundred yuan when it is transported to Zhengdu, and Anyi can be sold for three hundred and fifty yuan, which is more than doubled, and two batches have been sent away in this half month, and it has earned 200,000 yuan, which is really unimaginable." ”

Bai Gui only smiled slightly when he heard this, as if he remembered the little boy who was only as tall as his waist, who was talented but cautious everywhere, and had great ambitions but did not express them, which was really unseemly. Thinking about it, he said, "I just sent away another batch, but this time it was the junior escort team, I hope everything goes well." ”

"Xiao San'er acts steadily, and there are avenues along the way, and there are many pedestrians, so the head of the family can rest assured." Naturally, the housekeeper wanted to say a few words of relief.

"Also, they are all old people from my Bai family who have been walking for many years, and they are fine. Come, have a drink with so-and-so. Baekyu smiled.

At this time, a hundred miles away, there was a caravan heading south, the luxurious configuration of ten four-wheeled carriages made the pedestrians look sideways, dozens of men and samurai with swords lined up left and right, but no one rode on the carriage, and it was actually filled with straw wine jars, this pedestrian was what Bai Gui said, the Bai caravan led by Bai San'er.

Bai San'er is the brother of Bai Gui's own family and is in his thirties. In ancient times, the concept of local families was heavy, so the people who reused it were mostly in the same family, and after Bai Gui made a fortune, he naturally gathered a group of his own brothers, and Bai San'er was among them. Bai San'er acted steadily, so he was soon reused by Bai Gui, Bai Gui's business was mostly to transport grain and grass, and businessmen chased profits, so Bai San'er ran all the year round, and he was very familiar with the roads of various countries, and this time the soju business naturally fell on his head.

Just walked through Yi Run, this Yi Rong is also called Yi Gate, in the south of Luoyang City passed Luoshui more than 20 miles, is the gateway to the south of Luoyang, just because Yi Shui flows through here, the mountains on both sides are very steep, the natural form is like two half-open gates, so since ancient times here is called Yi Run, Que is the meaning of the door. If you walk through Eyun, you will be in Korea.

At this time, Bai San'er was beside a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, the boy was going out for the first time, and when he saw this magic of nature, he was excited, and his mouth was still joyful, "Cousin, this Yi Yan is really like two doors, is this the gateway of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Exactly, in the past, when the princes of the south arrived in Yiyun, they had to get up and salute and dress up, because they had already reached the feet of the Son of Heaven." Bai San'er nodded lovingly, this young man is his wife's cousin's nephew, and his wife's family takes care of him, so he brought it out this time, and followed the experience, if it is still useful, he can stay in the Bai family to do things in the future.

I heard the young man ask again, "Then there is a small earthen city in the middle of Yiyun, why does it collapse and no one cares?" ”

"As far as you have a lot of questions," Bai San'er couldn't help but give a touch on the young man's head, but he continued, "That was when the royal family sent troops to garrison it, and now the royal family is almost too poor to eat, who cares about this?" As soon as the words turned, he suddenly became stern, "He Xiaoyi, you follow me out, not to see useless things like scenery, but to have a long insight, let me ask you, where are we going, how to go, and what should we pay attention to along the way?" ”

This young man is naturally He Xiaoyi, seeing that his cousin seems to have a tendency to get angry, he hurriedly replied, "We are going to transport the main family's freight to Zhengdu, Zhengdu is in the southeast direction, we go south from Luoyang, pass through Yiyun, cross Yishui in Xincheng, and then go east, cross the Songshan Ancient Road, go to Yangcheng, and then go east, it is Zhengdu." Along the way, our people who transport goods are naturally not here to play, so the food and drink are solved by themselves, tonight in the new city familiar inn, tomorrow into the Songshan Ancient Road, tomorrow night to live in Lunshi, the night after the night to live in the negative millet, another day to arrive in Yangcheng, Yangcheng rest for one night and then spend another day to reach Zhengdu. "The boy obviously carried it before going out.

"Then let me ask you again, the Songshan Ancient Road is only more than 100 miles away, why do we spend three days?"

"The ancient roads are all mountain roads, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk." He Xiaoyi said nervously.

"No, there are many thieves on the ancient road, and pedestrians only pass through at a few hours at noon, so they can only walk dozens of miles a day. If you don't remember clearly, go back and ask your aunt to discipline you well. Bai San'er pretended to be angry, and He Xiaoyi immediately begged for mercy, presumably this young man was very afraid of his aunt.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the next day I set foot on the Songshan Ancient Road. There are mountains on both sides of this ancient road, Songshan Mountain in the north, and a group of unknown hillsides in the south, so naturally there is a road to it, connecting the east and west, this road has always been the main road connecting Luoyi and Zhengdu in the east, since ancient times, the capital must be a battleground, but now it is in South Korea, and both ends are Korean cities, so there are no military facilities, and people are unimpeded. Although there were many pedestrians along the way, Bai San'er was always cautious, and several single pedestrians wanted to approach and talk along the way, but they were all drunk away by the caravan warriors.

It's always a big mistake to be careful, and finally arrived at the first stop on the ancient road. Lunshi is an ancient place name, and legend has it that it was the location of a small kingdom during the Xia Dynasty, but now it is a small town in Korea. After a night's rest, he went on the road from Lun's, and the mountains on both sides were also steep, and Bai San'er also began to nervously walk back and forth in the team, shouting at everyone to be vigilant.

The group didn't even stop to eat lunch, but ate some dry food at random, and hurried east, seemingly wanting to reach the new city as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, when everyone was hurrying away, they heard He Xiaoyi shouting, "Cousin, I have a stomachache." ”

Bai San'er frowned, there are forests on both sides of this ancient road, it is the most dangerous one, at this time, there is not a single pedestrian on the road, the convoy can not stay longer, so he scolded, "It's really useless, it's okay, you can solve it yourself in the forest on the side of the road, let's continue to move forward, you solve it and run faster to catch up." As he spoke, a samurai was called to accompany him, and the convoy continued to move forward without pause. Bai San'er didn't care, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see He Xiaoyi follow, and he was worried after all, so he called a samurai again and asked him to go back and forth. The convoy continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard a miserable cry behind them, and everyone couldn't help but look back, it turned out that the samurai had not gone far and crooked, only to see that he turned over his chest, and he had a long arrow inserted in his body, and most of the arrows exposed outside his body were still shaking, but the samurai's body was falling to the ground softly. Bai San'er's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but scream that it was not good.

Besides, this river Xiaoyi, I don't know if he ate something bad, and he didn't get up for half a day after squatting. After the samurai who stayed behind impatiently urged for a long time, he casually pulled some grass to solve the problem, and was reluctant to pat his ass and leave, but fortunately, at this time, adults were still wearing open crotch pants, so as to save the time to lift the pants. The two hurriedly chased in the direction where the convoy had left. Before approaching, but suddenly heard the shouting of killing in front of the sky, the warrior saw this and pulled the confused He Xiaoyi, the two of them hid in the forest, and then stretched out their heads to take a closer look, and suddenly startled, it turned out that the field was their own convoy, and at this time it was surrounded by hundreds of gangsters, Bai San'er was commanding the guards and men to resist desperately, and the two sides were killing lively.

He Xiaoyi hurriedly looked into the crowd, and soon found the location of his cousin, only to see that Bai San'er was holding a bronze sword, flickering left and right, sometimes across his chest, struggling to block the attack of a gangster, but he did not prevent the gangsters from being overwhelming, and another person jumped out on the side, under the attack of the two, Bai San'er was suddenly in danger, and finally couldn't resist it, he was hit by a sword, and he didn't know the depth, but he saw the blood rushing out like a small fountain. Seeing this, He Xiaoyi was suddenly in a hurry, where could he still hide, and he couldn't help but scream. When the warrior found out that He Xiaoyi was wrong, he was about to reach out to cover his mouth, but it was too late. He Xiaoyi jumped out after screaming, rushed down, just took two steps, but remembered something, so he turned around and scolded, "Don't you also have a sword, why don't you save my cousin?" ”

The warrior was in a hurry, and immediately ran out to stop He Xiaoyi, "There are many thieves here, I'm afraid that everyone will be difficult to beat, the goods of the main family can't just be gone, someone needs to go back to ventilate and report the news, go, you go with me." Anyway, no matter how He Xiaoyi broke free, he forcibly pulled He Xiaoyi and ran back.
