Chapter 155: Strong Beams Outside the Mouth (I)
Still with his hands behind his back, Han Liangpin walked fast under his feet, but after half an hour, Han Liangpin had already passed through the crowded city gate hole and walked straight in the direction of Jushe.
Counting the past 30 years as early as possible, bandits and horse thieves were rampant on the trade route of the camel caravan outside the mouth, and there were some stories with the merchants who came and went on the trade road.
The bandits who intercepted the ordinary road were almost a dozen or so people gathered together, carrying long and short hard fires, and found some mountain passes and gorges to ambush them. Only waiting for the passing caravan to enter the dangerous boundary, a few boulders pushed down on the top of the mountain to cut off the caravan's coming-and-going road, and then put a few soul guns into the sky, only then did the bandit who was in charge of reporting and negotiating take a black scarf and a homespun cloth to cover his face, felt hats, and scarves covered his beard, and shouted at the trapped caravan with a southern and northern accent and a bright voice: "Poor countryside, low houses and barren fields." There is no water in the crockpot, there is no food in the pot, the shopkeeper below has a big scene, the eyebrows are kind, the eyes are kind, the heart is kind, a few people who go out to give money, and feed a few hard-working people, I have more than 100 brothers in the toad village, and I have to kowtow to thank the shopkeeper for the grace of life! ”
As soon as the shouting fell, from behind the surrounding mountains and rocks, there were three more bright guns!
There are caravans outside the entrance for many years, and when they encounter this scene, they are not panicked at all. Here the bodyguards hired by the caravan were on guard, and the little steward who was accustomed to this scene walked in front of the person who reported the number of the bandits, and raised his hand to complete the courtesy, and then raised his voice to answer the conversation: "Walk and bow to the village, walk to the boat and worship the dock!" The big man on the mountain climbed high and looked far away, and saw the gold and silver sea at a glance! The small shopkeeper below has a small profit, and he can't get into the eyes of the house! How many points do you only ask for the rules of the mountain? We have discussed and measured, and the ship has passed the rudder! ”
But as long as they can deal with this, those bandits on the mountain have already seen how many valuable things can be in the intercepted caravan, and they also understand how many hard fire things are in the hands of those well-guarded bodyguards!
Scratching his fingers, the bandits who have been ambushed are usually not too much for themselves. opened his mouth to open a price code of five and three for one hundred, and then waited for the caravan at the bottom of the mountain to return a lottery head of two and one for one hundred draws, so they each took a step back, and sent a neat leg and foot to rush down and take the leather bag full of the ocean.
After the bandit who went down the mountain to withdraw the money returned to the mountain in three steps and two steps, and counted the amount of silver in front of the bandits, the person on the mountain beam who was in charge of negotiating suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "There are more than 100 brothers in the toad village, thank you for the generous reward of the shopkeeper here!" The big shopkeeper's journey is smooth, a million profits! ”
Accompanied by the voice of the landing. From behind the rocks on the mountain beams, the bandits' scattered shouts could be heard: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's reward."
Generally speaking, the scene has come to this point, and the bandits on the mountain are naturally satisfied and quietly run away without a trace. The caravan at the foot of the mountain also thought of removing the boulder blocking the road and continued to rush forward to seek wealth.
After all, everyone only has one life, although the bandits are all rich and dangerous, but if they really want to break their lives to exchange money, there are really few people who can give birth to that guts, right? Being able to exchange the first few broken guns in his hand for a little ocean is already a profitless business. Why not?
The caravan will seek profit, just want to be safe and secure along the way, and transport the goods to the destination in full and tail, and naturally it will be able to make a profit. If those bandits are really willing to fight viciously, once they are injured or killed, and no matter what the bodyguard line has long been in the rules of the pension silver, there is no shortage of money, that is, how many shopkeepers are killed or injured, I am afraid it will be a life that cannot be compensated and an unfinished lawsuit. As long as it's not the bandits and lions on the mountain, they open their mouths and make themselves lose their money. It's really better to break the bank and eliminate the disaster!
The horse thief is a different story.
In normal times, horse thieves stay in the dark kiln. Several inferior horses are also waiting for them with hay and black beans, and they have to be led out to put green and fat from time to time, and they are easily reluctant to damage the horsepower.
And in the big car shops on the way that the caravan must pass, the little guys in the big car shops who are diligent, sharp-eyed, and hard-working, are mostly the eyeliners arranged by those horse thieves in private. Just waiting for the caravan that came to the big car shop to fight and live in the store, and everyone was eager to eat a hot meal, hot their feet, and get a good night's sleep, the diligent and clever young man carried a pot of hot water in his hand and sent it to the bodyguard Xingda Guanye, who was guarding the goods. Looking for another opportunity to touch the sacks and cages that had just been unloaded from pack horses and carts, I already knew what this caravan was trafficking and how much it was worth.
If you bump into the bodyguards and officials who are really working hard to take care of them, or the helmsman of the caravan has something that does not leave an inch, then this ticket must be taken as soon as possible - it is designated as a valuable red goods in the caravan!
In the dead of night, a black carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew out of the big car shop. It didn't take more than two hours for the horse thieves who had been recuperating in the dark kiln for a long time to get the news, so they would saddle up their horses and run towards the realm of more than forty miles in front of the big car shop.
When the caravan walks, it has to take care of pack horses and carts, and even if it goes fast, it can go out for more than ten miles in an hour. Waiting to go out for more than 40 miles, it is the stall where people are sleepy and horses are lacking, but the horse thieves who are in this realm early have already recuperated, urging the inferior horses under the crotch, and the hooves of the horses with a big bowl mouth are trampled on the sand and dust, and they roll over like clouds pouring down the ground in the middle of the sky!
The men and horses were far away from the caravan, and the sentry sent out by the caravan had already sent back a warning to the caravan. All the big frame cars immediately formed a circle, and the senior officials in the bodyguard line grabbed the long and short hard fire in their hands and hid behind the frame cars, and the guys in the caravan also took all kinds of weapons from the big cars and waited for them!
The horse thieves, who had already become disgraced, were not busy firing their guns, but with a strange scream, they pulled out the cotton balls soaked in mutton fat in the saddle bag and lit them, and raised their hands and threw them into the circle formed by the carts.
Holding the coarse cloth that had been prepared in advance, he carried the sand, and as soon as he saw a fireball soaked in mutton fat falling, the caravan guys in the circle immediately pounced on it, and poured the sand on the fireball. There is a lack of water on the journey outside the mouth. The sand used in situ to extinguish fires can also do wonders.
Seeing that the arson could not be set and the car formation was not chaotic, the horse thieves were not in a hurry, but retreated far away, allowing the inferior horses under their crotch to pace slowly and sweat, and from time to time they also tore out their voices and screamed a few times to show their existence.
By this time. The articulate steward of the caravan would step out of the caravan and walk out to the horse thieves with his hands outstretched. He was not afraid of the vicious gaze of those horse thieves and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him, and he was confronted by a man from all over the world, and then he spoke calmly: "The old and young masters have worked hard from afar, and people have eaten and chewed a lot of money along the way. I also ask the old and young masters to open the golden mouth and say the number, and we have to prepare a few pairs of saddles and a few tea bricks for the old and young masters? ”
Similarly, according to the value of the goods that had already been investigated, the horse thieves simply offered a price. Sky-high asking price. Under the condition of repaying the money on the spot, the caravan steward returned to the car to take the money agreed with the horse thief, and the horse thief who got the money also paid attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes. When the money was in hand, the thieves marched five miles in front of the caravan until they escorted the caravan to the next place where they would stay, and then they whistled away. When this caravan returns, it will never fight the caravan's idea again!
If you look at the rules of the rivers and lakes, whether it is a bandit or a horse thief. They also pay attention to seeking wealth without grudges, and they will not easily kill people. After all, everyone in the world knows that you can't kill chickens for eggs, dry up and fish. Burning forests and hunting. No matter how powerful the bandits and horse thieves are, they are afraid that after cutting off the caravan's financial route, they will end up in a happy and poor life!
What's more, the caravan leaders who dare to trade outside the mouth are almost all big people, even if they are poor, more than a dozen small businesses are gathered together. If you really offend people to death, I am afraid that the leader of this caravan will break out and make a few trips for nothing. You have to hire someone to get it back. When the time comes, the two will fight, and a gang of horse thieves will not be able to defeat the scene of more than a dozen businesses breaking down and recourse!
But if there are really some great red goods hidden in the caravan, those bandits and horse thieves really don't care about the rules of the rivers and lakes that seek wealth and don't ask for their lives, but they all want to make a big deal and wash their hands of gold. Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to be a rich man and live a peaceful life for a few years.
At such a time, several horse thieves and bandits who have heard of their names in ordinary times but have never met each other will become entangled. Determine the number of dividends based on the number of people, horses, and guns in each force, and then jointly elect the most powerful and famous horse thief or bandit leader as the leader, and stare at the red goods that are enough for everyone to wash their hands like a hungry wolf!
One side is bound to win, but the other side would rather die, this bloody battle from the first gunshot to the last scream stopped, it is already doomed to the end of the corpses all over the field and rivers of blood!
In the memories of the old and young masters who walked in the scene in Sijiu City, there was once a descendant of the imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty, who wanted to send a pair of jade net bottles used by the Yongzheng Dynasty to the mouth at a high price. didn't expect that before the red goods came out of Sijiu City, the news had already leaked out.
In a bloody battle on the way, the bodyguard of the Friends Dart Bureau in Sijiu City lived up to expectations and led the other good players in the Dart Bureau to kill all over the blood, which protected the red goods.
But after returning to Sijiu City, the bodyguard who was in charge of the Huiyou Dart Bureau washed his hands at the age of forty, and never got involved in the dart business again, let alone paid attention to the incidents in the rivers and lakes.
The men of the Forty-Nine Cities who understood the reason said that the bloody battle really made this bodyguard and the official kill the cold heart-the bandits and horse thieves who were small in the first thousand, and they ran away with six people who were called to kill the broken men. The blood that flowed from the corpses of a thousand small corpses soaked the thoroughfare, which was more than two zhang wide and half a mile long, into a swamp of flesh and blood!
Originally, the number of bandits and horse thieves has been a hundred years smaller, and it has already made all kinds of caravans and bodyguards and officials feel thorough. But as long as the caravan did not carry priceless red goods, the caravan on the trade route almost always relied on the ocean to buy the road. Sometimes, after a little bit of neatness and friendship, it is not good to say that you can still give yourself an insurance ticket on this trade route -- send the ocean and grain to some large bandits and horse thieves on a monthly basis, so that you can buy a brand flag in the hands of those bandits or horse thieves and stamp it on the cart of their own caravan.
When the small group of bandits and horse thieves saw this banner, they could naturally understand that this merchant had already spent money to buy the peace of business. If you really make a move on this merchant again, even if you are lucky, those bandits and horse thieves who have received the merchant's money and issued insurance tickets will have to come to the door to ask the teacher!
Regardless of whether you can make a fortune or not at that time, a small life will definitely be explained!
Unexpectedly, during the Xuantong years, there was a lone thief who had to chill in his heart when he saw anyone on the foreign trade road (to be continued......
