Chapter 40: There are frozen bones on the road

Wang Siyuan's temples were white, his eyes were bright, and he was sitting in the study at this time, leisurely sipping tea, when he saw Wang Biao coming in. Wang Siyuan put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "How is it?" Can I do it? ”

Wang Biao shook his head and said: "This person's subordinates are all fierce, and the guards in our village are by no means their opponents, and those people are all equipped with military horses, so it is difficult to kill them all." ”

Wang Siyuan tilted his head sideways, quietly looked at the teacup on the table, and said half-loudly: "How did you find out his identity?" ”

Wang Biao said respectfully: "According to my observation, most of this person is a side descendant of the Han family, and there are many horn bows in the armament he brought this time, and these horn bows are only used by Hu people, and most of them were captured on the border of Liaodong. ”

Wang Siyuan nodded and continued to ask, "What about his subordinates?" What doubts have been revealed? ”

Wang Biao replied: "His subordinates are very vigilant, they only know that these people have fierce eyes, all of them are murderous, and his deputy is strong in martial arts, not like an ordinary thief, but like a general in the army." Like most of the border troops, his lieutenant has a fiery personality, but he is very authoritative among his subordinates."

Seeing that Wang Siyuan bowed his head and was silent, Wang Biao was puzzled: "Father, why did you fight Han Wenhai's idea?" Let's not say that he is a member of the Han family in Liaodong, the identity of this person alone is enough to bring us great benefits, with the weapons and equipment he provides, who would dare to underestimate our Wang family? ”

Wang Siyuan sneered and said, "Just a military candidate, you dare to ask for so much silver!" Is my Wang family's money so easy to earn? ”

A look of disappointment flashed in Wang Biao's eyes, but he heard Wang Siyuan continue: "You always want these weapons and equipment, if the matter is revealed one day, I am afraid that it will bring unnecessary trouble to the Wang family." I want to move him, and naturally I have a reason. ”

"Okay, you go out, go and call your third brother." Wang Siyuan waved his hand at Wang Biao and continued to pick up the teacup in front of him.

Wang Biao turned around, a sneer rising from the corner of his mouth. After leaving Wangjiazhuang, Su Yi and others found an inn to live in, and this arms trade made Su Yi earn a lot of silver, hundreds of copper coins alone.

Considering the safety issue, Su Yi chartered a small building of the inn alone, and if he mixed with others, there would be many people, and maybe he would run into some sharp-eyed ones, and once his identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the end of the year is approaching, and there are not as many guests as usual in the inn, and the shopkeeper sees that Su Yi is generous and serves with all his heart. All kinds of exquisite dishes were served, and it was at this time that Su Yi allowed the bandits to drink a little less strong wine.

After a night's rest, the more than sixty cavalrymen were all in good spirits, and Su Yi was determined to go to Shangjun, so he let them stay outside the city and take Qian Leopard and ten of the most elite cavalry into the city.

The county seat is really different from the village, Wangjiazhuang is already a wealthy Zhuangzi, but compared with the upper county, it is not a star and a half. The streets of the county are paved with bluestone slab bricks, and the shops on both sides of the street are gorgeously decorated, and the flow of people far exceeds that of Wangjiazhuang.

Along the way, Su Yi saw that all households began to prepare for the New Year, and some even hung firecrackers on the doors.

The people of Shangjun County are also much better dressed than Wangjiazhuang, all of them have ruddy complexions, and they seem to be living well. In fact, Su Yi didn't know that because it was about to be the New Year, the homeless people and beggars in the city were ordered to be driven out of the city by the county order a few days ago.

Therefore, Shangjun County looks at harmony and stability at the moment, but in fact, this is just whitewashing the peace.

Su Yi came to Shangjun this time, firstly, to find out the situation, but also to find out the bottom of Shangjun County, by the way to see if he can kidnap a blacksmith back to the village, Gao Heihu's personal guards need to be equipped with a wolf-toothed giant stick, this kind of weapon not only requires a lot of iron, but also has a complex process, and a blacksmith with non-medium skills cannot be successfully made.

Second, Su Yi also came to purchase New Year's goods, he had already hired a big car outside the city and sent two subordinates to push it behind. On the cart were dried chickens and ducks, roasted suckling pigs, bacon and ham, freshly slaughtered fat sheep and pigs, as well as some pastries and fruits.

The reason why Su Yi did not let all the cavalry enter the city was because the county seat was different from Wangjiazhuang, the county town was heavily guarded, and the army and people were stationed. If these cavalrymen rush into the city, they will not only be interrogated by the county garrison, but will also arouse the suspicion of others and cause unnecessary incidents.

When passing by a green building, Qian Bao and the others couldn't stop looking in, looking at the warblers and Yanyan at the door, Su Yi coughed and said: "I came out in a hurry this time, and when the cottage is stable in the future, I will definitely take you over for recreation." ”

Qian Leopard also knew that this would not be the time for fun, so he laughed awkwardly.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, but business in this green building is better than usual.

The cold wind was bitter, and the walls of Shangjun County were simple and solemn, and a thin layer of ice formed on the wide moat. Su Yi purchased some things in the city again, and then led his subordinates out of the city together.

During this period at the end of the year, Shangjun County was heavily guarded, and it was not advisable to stay for a long time.

The cold wind blows the withered grass in the wilderness outside the city, and the city is prosperous and the city is depressed, these are two worlds entirely. The four gates of Shangjun County were all heavily guarded, and the stern-faced soldiers stared at the merchants.

Outside the city, by the doorway huddled countless refugees, their faces pale and their clothes thin. Although there were a large number of these refugees, and they were crowded together in rows to keep warm, Su Yi couldn't see a trace of anger when he looked at it.

These angry homeless people can't even survive a night.

Su Yi sighed, he had the heart to bring these victims back to Taohuazhai, after some conditioning, these people can obviously become the labor force of Taohuazhai. It's just that it's so hard to take them across the mountains.

A young man in rags, there was no blood on his sallow face, but his eyes never left the main gate of Shangjun.

There was a crisp sound of bells behind Su Yi, the horse's hooves were ticking on the dry and cold ground, and he looked back to see that a carriage was slowly coming.

At this moment, the young man who was originally hungry and cold suddenly stood up and pounced with the last bit of strength in his body.
