Chapter Ninety-Three: The Dart Car Is Hijacked
As soon as he woke up, Tang Ling ran in and handed Yuanhang a letter. After taking it, Yuanhang saw that it was escorted by the back hall exhibition, and after opening it to read, he was in a good mood and learned that he had returned to the back hall safely. Situ Hao was treated by a famous doctor sent by the emperor himself, and his health was already very good. Yuanhang smiled and put the letter aside, and asked Tang Ling to call Yilan over. Tang Ling bowed and said, "Young master, a few young grandmothers went to the store early in the morning, and now only you and I are left in the house." ”
Yuanhang looked inside the house, and sure enough, Wanyu's clothes were gone, scratched his head and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's almost time." Tang Ling replied.
"Ah, they went in the hour." Yuanhang stood up and stretched, and said. "Wait a while, I'll wash up and we'll go to the store." ”
After a while, Yuanhang took Tang Ling out of the house slowly. I heard the people's discussions all the way, and they praised the bank, and I was very happy. When I walked to the front of the store, I saw a group of people queuing up in front of the door, and the line couldn't see the end. Yuanhang happily entered the store.
Wanyue and Yilan were busy with each other, and the guys at several windows were so busy that they couldn't even lift their heads. Bypassing everyone and coming to the counter, Yuanhang smiled at Wanyue and picked up the ledger and looked at it.
Looking at the account book, Yuanhang slowly lost his smile, hurriedly pulled Wanyue, and asked quietly: "How can there be two hundred Wen deposited here?" ”
Wanyue was not surprised, raised her hand to brush the hair on her face, and said lightly: "Why not?" There are still 50 more to be deposited today. ”
Yuanhang looked up at the outside and said: "There are many people here, and it is quite troublesome to deposit into the account once, if they are all like this, there will not be much silver taels in a day." ”
Wanyu frowned, and said leisurely: "Xianggong is too anxious. As long as it is deposited, it is not all silver taels. Besides, a few ordinary people will take out ingots of silver. If you refuse to leave, you may provoke gossip. ”
Yuanhang pondered for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I was careless. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid something would have happened. ”
Wanyue chuckled and said: "Xianggong, here I and Yilan are enough, but there are too many silver taels, it is better to call more people." ”
Yuanhang nodded and said, "Well, how about I ask General Sun to send soldiers over?" ”
"Let's call some dark spirits, there are soldiers here and I'm afraid something is wrong." Said euphemistically.
"Okay, I'll go to the dart bureau to discuss with Wuying." Yuanhang walked out of the counter, instructed August to take Tang Ling to the dart board.
When he came to the dart game, Yuanhang saw Qinghe talking to a middle-aged man. Dao Zi greeted him and said, "My lord, here is business, the second young grandmother is discussing with Wuying and that person." ”
"Oh? yes, what's being shipped? Yuanhang asked, looking up.
Dao Zi glanced back and replied vaguely, "It seems to be an escort." ”
"Giving it away?" Yuanhang asked in surprise.
As he was talking, Qinghe and Wuying accompanied the man out and exchanged polite words, and the man turned to leave.
"Xianggong, that person just wanted to send his wife to Guzhou, and he was worried that there would be an accident on the road, so he came to the Dart Bureau to escort him." Qinghe stood beside Yuanhang and said with a smile.
Yuanhang nodded and said, "People are not better than things, and sometimes it is more difficult to escort. Tell the brothers to be cautious all the way and not to be careless. ”
Qinghe was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yuanhang hugged Qinghe's shoulders and said in a low voice: "People are unpredictable, if someone comes on purpose and the halfway person runs alone, then how can we compensate the family." ”
Qinghe suddenly realized something, nodded in thought.
Yuanhang turned to Wuying and said, "Anyway, the first time I dart, send a few elven brothers to go." ”
"Yes, sir." Shadowless said.
"Oh yes, the bank doesn't have enough people, it's free for the time being, send a few more." The voyage commanded.
After all the instructions were completed, Yuanhang first took Tang Ling back to the mansion, took a nap after lunch, and slept until dusk when he woke up. Seeing that it was getting late, he called Tang Ling and walked towards the store together.
There are still a lot of people outside the store, and they sailed in to see that Wanyue and Yilan were almost prostrate, and hurriedly ordered the dark spirit, today's business hours have arrived, and ordered the store to be closed.
After closing the shop, Liqiu walked downstairs, pouted and lost his temper at Yuanhang, and said, "It's very busy down there, and we don't have any business there." ”
Yuanhang went over and comforted: "Don't worry, if you have business there, you will make a lot of silver taels." ”
Liqiu glanced at it, and leaned on the table with his chin in his hand.
Wanyue was counting the bills there, and Yilan was counting the silver taels with his men. After calculating, it was more than 370 taels in total, and after the accounts matched with the silver taels, Wanyue put the silver taels into the cabinet and locked them, leaving the dark spirit guards, and returned to the mansion with Yuanhang and others. Yuanhang took out the letter of protection and handed it to Yilan, and Yilan smiled after reading it.
A moment later, Qinghe also returned to the mansion under the escort of the dark spirit.
Seeing Yuanhang, Qinghe giggled and said, "Xianggong, there is another business in the afternoon." ”
"What kind of business, so happy." Yuanhang looked at Qinghe and asked.
"A big business." Qinghe couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said: "The Zeng Yuan in the city was originally a rich man in Jingzhou, but because he came to Yizhou to do business a few years ago, it coincided with Xiaoliang's closure of the city, and he was not allowed to return to Jingzhou. Now that Yizhou has also returned to Daliang, he wants to return to his hometown, but because of the large number of items and the fear of encountering thieves, he has not returned. When I heard that we could escort us, I came looking for it. ”
Yuanhang nodded and said, "The distance is not close, how much dart money have you charged?" ”
"Eighty taels. Pay thirty taels first, and fifty taels later. Qinghe said with a wink.
"It doesn't matter how much silver is two, you and Wuying discuss carefully, as long as it's safe." Yuanhang instructed.
"Hmm." Qinghe nodded happily.
After dinner, they were too tired today, so they went back to rest. After a day of leisure, he went out of the house alone and walked to the dart bureau.
"Wuying, who are you going to send to Jingzhou tomorrow?" Yuanhang and Wuying sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and chatted.
"My lord, let Chen Tao bring ten brothers. This kid's kung fu is good, and besides, he is in the realm of Daliang, so he should be fine all the way. Wuying poured tea for the voyage and said.
"Chen Tao is okay, he is clever enough. Choose some brothers for him, and he must make a name for himself for the first time. Yuanhang said cautiously.
"Otherwise, I'll go myself." Seeing Yuanhang without a shadow, he said with some unease.
Yuanhang's original intention was to ask one of the three of them to go with the dart car, but Wuying had already arranged it, and now that he said it himself, it seemed that Wuying couldn't believe it.
"No, it's up to you here." Yuanhang patted Wuying on the shoulder and said, "If it's okay, I'll go back first." ”
Wuying got up and clasped his fists at Yuanhang and said, "My lord, please go back, you can rest assured here." ”
Yuanhang smiled lightly, nodded and turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.
On the second day, he came to the dart bureau early in the morning, and there were a total of six carriages in front and back, and there were ten people in the car, including family members. Yuanhang personally poured a bowl of wine for each of the dark spirits who came out of the dart, picked up the wine bowl himself, and said: "Brothers, after drinking this bowl of wine, no one is allowed to drink alcohol on the road, and after returning safely, I invite everyone to drink for three consecutive days." ”
"Thank you, sir." The Dark Spirits replied in unison. After saying that, they raised the bowl and drank the wine.
"Let's go." Shadowless stood at the door of the dart game and shouted.
Chen Tao saluted Yuanhang with his fists, turned around and walked at the front of the team, and the rest of the dark spirits led the horses and escorted the carriage to the west gate. The six carriages were all planted with blue dart flags with the words Yiwei Dart Bureau, fluttering slightly in the wind.
Yuanhang watched the convoy turn the corner, and then took Tang Ling to the East City Tower. Sun Ke and Li Mo were on the city tower, and when they saw Yuanhang also coming up, they came to pay their respects.
"My lord, why did you come up to the castle tower too?" Li Mo asked with a smile.
Yuanhang chuckled at Li Mo and said, "Come up and see if you are sure, if you know that the two generals are here, I don't have to come over." ”
Sun Ke and Limo accompanied the voyage on the city wall and walked and said, until they reached the south gate. Sailing away, he suddenly saw a few pigeons walking leisurely on the city wall.
"Hey, pigeons." This is the first time I have seen a pigeon in Liang Guo, and Yuanhang unexpectedly pointed and shouted.
Sun Ke looked over and asked strangely, "Is the Lord talking about this?" ”
"yes, don't you know?" Yuanhang stopped and asked rhetorically.
Li Mo pointed to the pigeon and said, "I know, this is a flying slave." ”
"Flying slaves?" The voyage was stunned, could it be that the pigeon was called a flying slave in ancient times? Suddenly, an idea flashed, and he pulled Sun Ke and said, "General, this flying slave has a great ability, and its sense of direction ......"
Sun Ke nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." Fei Nu can find a home on his own, or he can send messages by flying books. ”
Yuanhang opened his mouth and asked in disbelief, "Do you know that it has this ability?" ”
"My lord laughed, everyone knows that Fei Nu has this ability." Sun Ke didn't know how to say that the voyage was good.
"Then why do you have to ride a horse to deliver a letter now, won't it be a waste of time?" After a pause, Yuanhang couldn't figure out the reason and asked puzzledly.
Sun Ke shook his head and said, "Although the flying slave is good, it has drawbacks. One flew too low, and the enemy archers shot down lightly. There are too many birds of prey in the air and they are easy to be preyed. Seven or eight out of ten of the flying slaves will not be returned. ”
Li Mo also said in the back: "Yes, the first emperor was trapped in Kaizhou back then, and three flying slaves were released in a row, and only the last one released flew back, causing the first emperor to be trapped for many days." Back in the back hall, the emperor issued an order to hunt down the flying slaves, and since then he has no longer used the flying slaves to transmit messages. ”
Sun Ke nodded, and then said: "I am afraid that the flying slave will be shot by the enemy and leak the news, and I am afraid that the big bird will prey on it and not be delivered. ”
Yuanhang was silent after hearing this, but he didn't expect the pigeon to be so uneatable at this time. I had to smile wryly and nodded.
When I returned to the house in the evening, I was about to rest. Tang Ling's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Young Master, have you slept?" Shadowless and Dao Zi asked to see each other in the front hall. ”
Yuanhang got up suddenly, feeling that his eyelids were jumping, it shouldn't have been something wrong with the dart car. Busy said: "I'll come." ”
Put on their clothes and sail hurriedly to the front hall, the shadowless two were anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, and when they saw Yuanhang coming in, they stepped forward and said anxiously: "My lord, something happened, the dart car was robbed." ”
