Chapter 809: Aftermath (I)
Located in the southeast of Guilin City, Changfa Inn is a well-known merchant house in the city, which undertakes letters and goods shipped to various places, and is a well-known shop in the whole city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the current era has made great progress compared with the strict control of the 10-mile road guide station when the country was founded, ordinary people still rarely go far due to various transportation problems. And when they have to ship things to other provinces because of certain necessities, these barns become the best choice.
As the owner of the long hair inn, Sun Changfa also has a lot of fame in the city, this is a person from all over the world, and has a lot of friends with the government and street forces. In his line of work, if he can't point out all the forces of black and white, I'm afraid it will be difficult to grow long, let alone have the career he has today.
However, since this turmoil, Sun Changfa's life has been very difficult. After a few months of siege, his business had been delayed for so long, and he still had a lot of goods stored in his storehouse that needed to be shipped elsewhere, which he couldn't afford to delay.
For this reason, Sun Changfa also paid a large amount of money to labor the army to cheer up the officials and thieves. In this way, Sun Changfa's reputation in the city is even greater, and many people have to give him a thumbs up and say hello when they see him.
After that, the rebels besieging the city were indeed repulsed, and the goods they had accumulated in the warehouse were slowly sent out, but only a few days after this good day, Guilin City suddenly closed the four gates, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, which made Sun Changfa and his partners worried, and if this continued, not only would they have to lose money to the guests because of the late delivery, but they might even lose these old customers for many years.
For this reason, Sun Changfa went to the city gate and several yamen several times to inquire about the specific situation, but he couldn't ask why. It wasn't until this afternoon that he learned from the guy who came back from outside what the government was doing all this, and when he listened to the explanation, the whole person was stunned, and then he sent the person out with a calm face.
After walking around the house for a long time, Sun Changfa finally made a decision, turned around and came out and ordered: "Go, bring out the willow boxes in the warehouse and load them, I have to transport them out of the city." ”
"Ah...... Do you want to deliver the goods yourself? Li Jia, the big guy in the store, looked at his boss in surprise and asked with some hesitation. Today's long hair stack has already been very large, and Sun Changfa, as the boss, has always been sitting in the city, talking about business with people, when has he personally transported the goods.
Seeing the other party's surprise, Sun Changfa frowned slightly: "These goods are a bit special, I have to ship them in person, and others can't do it." And it's not a few dozen miles away, and I can rush back before dark tomorrow, and nothing happens. ”
Seeing that he was talking like this, Li Jia naturally didn't want to comply, and hurriedly turned around and asked the guys below to load the goods. At this time, Sun Changfa also added a sentence behind his back: "Tell them to be lighter, the things in there can't withstand the fall, and we can't afford to pay for mistakes." ”
"The little one knows." Li Jia hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went.
Half an hour later, a carriage loaded with more than 20 large wooden boxes stopped at the door of the long hair inn, Sun Changfa changed into a long travel clothes, and climbed onto the wheel very skillfully, and was about to set off.
At this time, Li Jia and several other big guys looked at him with some concern: "Shopkeeper, why don't you take a few with you on the road, the situation outside is not stable, let's transport goods together and have a good response." ”
"No, this is what the owner of the goods has agreed with me before, and the things must be delivered by me alone, and it is not too late for you to take care of other businesses here." Sun Changfa rejected their offer with a wave of his hand, and with a wave of his whip, he drove the two horses pulling the cart forward.
Although they felt that the boss's decision was a bit strange, Li Jia and the others were not easy to insist, so they had to say yes and watch Sun Changfa leave.
After walking for a while, Sun Changfa couldn't help but turn around, and took one last look at the familiar door of the business inn with some nostalgia. I have spent a lot of effort on this, and after several years of hard work to have today's status, I am really reluctant to leave like this. But then, he gritted his teeth again, turned his head again, whipped his horse with a whip, and drove the carriage forward at a faster pace.
The reputation of the long hair stack in Guilin is indeed excellent, and there is no difficulty along the way, but when he left the city gate, those soldiers saw that it was his carriage, and they did not check it, so they let it go. This made Sun Changfa, who was still a little worried and afraid of something going wrong, really relieved, especially when he drove out of the city gate, there was a feeling of escaping.
Although he had not been on the road for many years, Sun Changfa's craftsmanship had not been wasted, and the road to his destination had not been forgotten by him.
But even so, he did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and continued to drive his horse, passing past the edge of a village that had long been deserted and there was hardly any living breath to be seen, and headed straight for his final destination.
It was a much smaller and more inconspicuous Han village than Baijia Village. Usually, there are only about a dozen families in it, but now it seems to be a deserted village, without any vitality. But on the contrary, Sun Changfa parked the car in such a desolate place, and then got out of the car and came to a small courtyard in front of him, and knocked regularly on the dilapidated courtyard door, and the sound of popping was particularly loud in the empty and silent deserted village.
If someone passes by at this time, they will definitely feel that they have seen a ghost. Who would go to such a deserted village and knock on such a courtyard door that can't be closed at all?
But only a moment later, something even more surprising happened, and suddenly a crack opened in the courtyard behind the gate, revealing the entrance to the black hole. But Sun Changfa didn't see anything unusual, so he pulled the carriage into the courtyard, and then took out something from his arms and threw it in.
After another moment, a little light came from below, and then a vigilant voice said: "Are you Lao Sun?" ”
"Exactly, I brought everything back."
There was another moment of silence, and then several figures quickly emerged from below, all of them men with swift movements and steel knives on their backs. After seeing Sun Changfa, they relaxed slightly, and then their eyes fell on the more than ten willow boxes.
"There are not only the silver taels accumulated by the Holy Sect over the years, but also the things that the Sect Master asked me to get before, but it's a pity that ......," Sun Changfa said, his eyes darkened.
"You know what happened, too?" The man in charge asked with a twinkle in his eyes, and waved his hand as he spoke, asking the men to step forward and move the things off the car.
Don't look at the box, it doesn't seem to be big, but it is quite heavy, and the two sturdy men look very difficult to put on a box. However, they were careful to remove the box from the car and send it into the hole, for fear of breaking it.
Sun Changfa sighed: "Yes, although the government has something to hide, but after all, such a big thing is not easy to hide from the people of the city." So now the city of Guilin knows about it. Our sect leader is really ......"
The man's face was sad, and he nodded, "Yes, and not only the sect leader, but many others have also suffered. As far as I can see, some of the colleagues hiding in Guilin are probably the only ones who are not on the roster. ”
"Ah......h It was precisely because of this concern that he was in a hurry to come out, but he didn't want things to be worse than he expected.
"Then what should we do next?" After a long time, Sun Changfa asked such a question, which was obviously a question in the hearts of many people, Xu Jinghong's death was a huge blow to every White Lotus Sectist, and it had made them at a loss about the future.
"Don't worry, our Holy Sect has survived so many hardships in the past, and we will definitely be able to survive this time. Moreover, the second young master and the young lady are still there, and they have begun to take over everything. You've done us a lot of help by taking the risk of sending these things this time. As he spoke, the man's gaze swept over the boxes, and there was a raging anger burning in his eyes: "That Yang Zhen, who has repeatedly ruined our good deeds and killed the sect leader...... We're going to make him pay the price! ”
Hearing this name, Sun Changfa first showed a strange look, and then nodded heavily: "Yes, we must not let him go." ”
After saying this, the more than ten boxes had all been moved into the hole by them, and then Sun Changfa and the others also got into it neatly, leaving only the two horses pulling the cart to stay in place a little dazed......
In just a few days, there has been another turmoil in the city of Guilin, many ordinary people were arrested by the government and put in prison, and under some torture, these guys all confessed that they were White Lotus cultists, and some of them were also found in their homes with evidence related to the White Lotus Sect, which confirmed their identities even more.
With the help of the roster, the government searched and arrested the city and the surrounding prefectures and counties according to the map, and indeed achieved unprecedented results in the past, and also eliminated these hidden dangers.
In this regard, since Tang Guangchen and below, all officials are full of praise for Yang Zhen, and feel that the credit for all this is due to him, and the next Guangxi rebellion will be much easier.
But their joy didn't last long, and there was an incident that everyone was a little dumbfounded, and this incident was caused by a strange disappearance case, and a guy from the long hair stack came to report the case, saying that his shopkeeper Sun Changfa had been missing for several days......
