As soon as he heard that there was such a thing, Xu Heshan was in a cold sweat on his vest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have always been cautious, otherwise, I will end up like the gang in front of me.

Qi Zaiyuan also found that this money was really not easy to earn, in Liaodong before, there was no major incident, at best, it was a chance encounter with robbers, and with the strength of the dart game, it was still able to be dismissed.

But the robbers I meet now are too strong, where did they all come from?

"Boss Xu, I think if you continue to hurry, I'm afraid it's easy to encounter these robbers, otherwise, let's turn around and go back to Ningyuan to rest for one night." Qi Zaiyuan said.

"Go back to Ningyuan!" Xu Heshan's body trembled and said, "Then how can it be done?" How dangerous is Ning Yuan? ”

"It's not a report to the official, it's just an overnight stay, what danger can there be. You have to know that if you go forward, once you encounter that group of robbers, you will be in trouble. There are rules on the green forest road, if you bump into someone doing business, unless you are stronger, otherwise, it is easy to be wiped out. Qi Zaiyuan said.

"That's ......" Xu Heshan gasped, and then shouted: "Turn around and turn around, and go to Ningyuan for the night today." ”

It's winter after all, and I can't camp overnight on the road.

Moreover, those people under him, whether they are working or dart masters, have already developed a sense of fear, who dares to move forward. As soon as he heard that he was back in Ningyuan, he did not hesitate to leave immediately.

Those men who escaped did not want to be left alone, so they also followed the caravan for the time being, and waited until they arrived in Ningyuan City.

They walked back, and when they walked out for seven or eight miles, they came across a caravan. On the mule cart of this caravan, there was a flag hanging on it, similar to his, but the color was slightly different, it was blue with red stripes, and the white characters in the middle were written - Jinzhou.

Looking at this posture, it should also be a flag bought in Xiaotuanshan.

As soon as the two sides met, the boss on the opposite side was inevitably a little curious, how to go back with the flag to Liaoyang.

Everyone was a buyer and seller, so they said hello. Xu Heshan saw that the other party was the same as himself and himself, and he also bought flags, which meant that he was sympathetic. So he told the other party what had happened before.

When the boss heard that there was such a thing, he was also shocked, and he was also glad that he did not report to the official. But now, he didn't dare to go forward, so he just went back to Ningyuan to stay overnight together, and then hurried tomorrow. The two bosses chatted together, and expressed their deep hatred for the bandits in Liaodong, but the bandit family didn't seem to have a good solution. At the same time, Boss Xu also knew the name of this boss, called Wang Jiaxin.

After walking back for five or six miles, I met a caravan again, and this caravan was also hung with a flag, which was written - Liaoyang. However, the color of this flag is still a little different from the color of Xu Heshan, and it is actually the same color as the previous flag of Wang Jiaxin Jinzhou.

Like Wang Jiaxin, the boss was also a little puzzled when he saw the two of them hanging the flag and walking back. After saying hello, Wang Jiaxin and Xu Heshan told them about the previous matter, and the boss didn't dare to leave, so they simply went to Ningyuan to stay overnight.

When he arrived in Ningyuan, he ran into a caravan again, also with a banner. However, people are staying in Ningyuan directly.

They are all buyers and sellers, and when they meet together, if it is normal, there will be exchanges, not to mention that now, the big guys have the same fate, so they simply chatted about this matter.

The boss he met at the end, according to his intentions, was ready to report to Ningyuan. As soon as he heard that he would be intercepted and killed, he immediately dispelled the idea of reporting to the official.

Several bosses found inns to stay, ate and drank together at night, and hated the fact that the bandits dared to buy road money with great fanfare, and their words were full of condemnation. But they didn't dare to tell them anything. After all, since Liaodong started a war with the Jurchens, the road has not been peaceful, but the risks are high and the benefits are also great, so everyone comes here to do business.

At present, when this kind of thing happens, the toll of one percent of the receiving price is equivalent to 10%, which is too much, not too much, at most it is less money. But this breath is unbearable. The court hasn't said that it will collect so much money, you bandits dare to collect so much money, why don't you rob it.

But looking back, aren't bandits just robbing, and it's good if they didn't rob them all for you.

Now in front of them, it seems that there are only two ways, either admit it, or report to the official and ask the government to send troops to suppress the bandits. But the key is, where to report to the official, where can there be no collusion with the bandits, and people can be transferred.

After thinking about it, it seems that only Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi is more reliable, but Lord Xiong is in Liaoyang, and these businessmen don't all go to Liaoyang, some go to Jinzhou, and some go to Yizhouwei. It's good to go directly to Liaoyang, but you can't go all the way to Liaoyang to complain, it's not enough to toss.

Businessmen seek profit, time is money, and how much time you have to waste on the road if you run so far. At that time, the goods in my hand were all sold, and by the way, I could return to the customs by the way.

Therefore, people who don't go to Liaoyang will say that they will let people who go to Liaoyang find Xiong Tingbi to complain. Xu Heshan and another boss who went to Liaoyang were angry, but they were perfunctory.

Soon he talked about a topic, that is, why this flag is different.

It's the same from Liaoyang, the color is different, but the color of going to Jinzhou is the same as going to Liaoyang.

They studied it for a while, no wonder they were making a big deal, and their heads reacted quickly. They found that the color of the flag was not divided by where you went, but by how many goods you had and how much money you paid.

Like Xu Heshan, the black and purple flag is the most paid among the bosses. The blue flag belongs to about 5,000 taels of goods.

In this way, everyone couldn't help but curse, saying that this bandit was too cunning. It is estimated that I am afraid that when you buy the flag, you will deliberately conceal the quantity of the goods, and specially draw a price for you on the flag. When you get to the other place where the flag is collected, people will definitely check it, and if you don't match the number, then you will be unlucky.

And at this moment, on Xiaotuan Mountain, Ri Potian, Song Sandao and others are drinking.

After a busy day during the day, I met several groups of caravans, and at night I had to eat and drink a lot to celebrate.

Since the beginning of this business, they have not been idle every day, but whenever there is a caravan into Liaodong, they have to come down and rob it. After all, the business has just started, and these businessmen have not yet taken the initiative to buy flags, so they need to be notified.

"It's a real deal! I robbed more in one day than we usually robbed in a month or two. But the helper is too, why not just grab them all, and grab two percent at a time. If they take the initiative to pay for the flag, then there will be only one left. "When he was almost drunk, he grinned.

"You know what a!" Ri Chuanyun immediately said: "This is called a long stream of water, if we really see one knot here, who will dare to do business in Liaodong in the future." At that time, it was estimated that even if the local soldiers and horses collected our money, they would not be able to protect us. There are so many people in Liaodong, there are no merchants to do business, how can they live? All of a sudden, everyone yelled and beat us. Although this practice of the gang leader makes those businessmen feel painful, they can still make money. If other families don't come, naturally there will still come, let's try not to kill people, and the government can also have an explanation, and after a long time, the businessmen will probably admit it. ”

"I see." Hinachi nodded.

Ri Potian said with a smile: "If you don't say it, the Wang Gang Master is qualified to be the chief scoop of the green forest, and he will not leak a drop in everything." Needless to say, the merchant collects 20% of the toll, even if it is 10% of the toll, we will also pay it in a year! ”

"That's right!" Jiao Han pouted and said, "I met that Changfeng Dart Bureau under our mountain before, and our brothers didn't dare to go down the mountain to rob him!" Now that we are with the Wang gang leader, who are you afraid of, he has seen us in the Changfeng Dart Bureau, and he has to honestly pay for the road! Brothers, let's have a toast and celebrate our future wealth! ”

With that, he picked up the bowl.

"It's done!" "It's done!" "It's done!" ……

The others also picked up their bowls, and one of them dried the wine in the bowl.

These people were drinking happily, when a minion soldier suddenly ran in outside, "A few people are in charge, there is a caravan passing by at the bottom of the mountain!" ”

"Huh?" ……

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, how could there be a caravan passing by on this big night.

In fact, this hour is not too late, but it is about two quarters of the unitary hour. It's just that in the winter of Liaodong, it gets dark early, so it makes people feel late.

"How many are there?" Ri Potian asked.

"There can be about three hundred people." Minions said.

"That's just such a person!" Ri stood up and said, "Brothers, you are drinking here, I will take five hundred brothers down the mountain and take care of the matter!" ”

"Third child, I'll go with you." Sun Chuanyun hurriedly got up.

He knew that the third child's personality was too rude, and now he drank again, so something should not happen.

Song Sandao and Ri Potian were drinking on Xingtou, and there were not many people in the caravan under the mountain, so they thought that it was enough to settle the day through the clouds and the day through the intestines, so they nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Ri Chuanyun and Ri Chuanyun ordered five hundred minions and rushed down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, I didn't go far when I saw a caravan approaching. The sun pierced the intestines and shouted, and the minions immediately crossed the road, blocking the caravan's progress.

The shopkeeper of the caravan is named Lin Xiangyun, the boss is from Shanxi, and he did not personally lead the team, and it is estimated that the weather is too cold, so he only sent a shopkeeper to come. Lin Xiangyun was shocked when he saw so many robbers suddenly appearing. However, this guy also came out to run a business, and he was relatively experienced, so he immediately calmed down his nervousness, showed a smile, hugged his fist at the opposite side, and said: "This king, the villain doesn't know that you are doing business here, and he didn't say hello in advance, so please forgive me." Come on, hurry up and send filial piety to the king. ”

It seems that he has encountered robbers before, and he has been prepared in advance.

As soon as he said this, a man found a large tray with a large bag on it, and he took the tray and walked in front of him.
