Chapter Seventy-Five: Unexpected
People die for money, birds die for food, and Deacon Fan's temperament is destined to make him unable to cut his wrists by a strong man, but he doesn't know that his behavior has already fallen into Fan Yongdou's eyes.
Outside the city, Fan Yongdou had already ordered to go down, "After confirming that the grain is correct, give Fan Xiang a good time."
"Whoa!"
In the city, Deacon Fan still did not know that his death was near, and he walked through one grain stack after another with all his heart.
Grain and straw brought from all over the country were piled up here, counting 2,000 stones of rice and millet.
In the year of the catastrophe, grain merchants everywhere understood the necessity of hoarding grain, and no one was willing to sell grain unless it was purchased at a high price.
Two thousand stone of grain, this is the result of three months of Fan's business inn, if it is really deducted by the government, Fan Yongdou will have to spend a great price to make up for it, at that time, it is far from a matter that can be solved by a thousand taels of silver.
Fan's Merchant House bought a large piece of land in the east of the city, and when the government sealed it, it only took people away, and the things in it were not touched at all.
Of course, in order to prevent thieves from stealing, Wei Yuan and Wang Teng sent fifty people here.
On weekdays, the training of Xiang Yong is also carried out in this vicinity.
Now, the goods in the merchant inn have been returned to their original owners, and Deacon Fan suddenly has a feeling of tears in his eyes.
It's just that he was cheaper once, and he took a thousand taels of silver, which was too heavy.
Fortunately, the grain is back.
"Deacon Fan?" A call pulled Fan Xiang back to reality.
"Huh? What advice does the Wang Inspector have? β
"I heard that the world has not been peaceful recently, can the Fan family transport so much grain? Coincidentally, the inspection department has nothing to do, otherwise the official will personally go out to escort you? β
Are you kidding?
Who doesn't know that Fan Dongzhu hates Wang Teng the most, if he really lets Wang Teng escort him, he can't make Fan Dongzhu angry to death?
Moreover, this grain was transported to the north, and Wang Teng accompanied him, didn't this lead the wolf into the house?
Although Deacon Fan is stupid, it doesn't mean that he is stupid and has no bottom line, "Inspector Wang, forgive me, this kind of major matter is not something that my little deacon can decide."
Wang Teng's face was full of regret, "In this way, if you meet the owner of your family, you must convey my meaning!" β
Deacon Fan laughed dryly and promised, "Deacon, definitely."
Outside the city, Fan Yongdou had already prepared cars, horses, and manpower.
As soon as the seal of the government was removed, the chariots and horses came to the outside of Guangling City.
Good guy, more than 200 carts, more than 500 strong men, in order to escort this batch of grain, Fan Yongdou has spent a lot of money, and he has transferred all the people who can be used in his hands.
Fortunately, the carriages, horses, and manpower were all prepared in advance, otherwise, it would have been too late in time.
However, Fan Yongdou missed one of his calculations: the hundred households who originally promised the convoy to enter the city suddenly changed their hexagrams, that is, Fan's people could not enter the city.
"How so?"
Every day of delay, the amount of silver spent is calculated in one hundred taels, and Fan Yongdou seems to choose someone to eat.
"The proprietor, it is said that the thousand households of Guangling City are personally in charge, and they say that they will not let us enter the city."
"A thousand households? What's so easy? β
"Yi Ying"
"Yes, this is the person"
"What does he want? Silver? Woman? Give it to him, just let our men into the city, and give him whatever he wants."
"The proprietor, the villain secretly gave him a few dozen taels of silver, but he threw it out, and said that I had ill intentions, and I was not a good person at first glance."
Fan Yongdou exploded his lungs in anger, what's wrong with this world?
Why did they all come against him one by one?
"Too much deception, too much deception"
"Proprietor, how is this good?"
"Come on, come with me to meet this Yi Qianhu!"
"Order!"
"Da da da", a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded.
After half a pillar of incense, Fan Yongdou and his entourage came to the outside of Guangling City.
There was tension at the gate of the city, and the people of the Fan family planned to enter the city, but the guards at the city gate did not give an inch, and on the arrow tower, a group of archers were bending their bows and arrows.
Fan Yongdou was awe-inspiring in his heart, "It's really a big battle."
Yi Ying hated Fan Yongdou very much, it was this person who made him deflated in front of everyone, "Who is coming?" β
"Jiexiu Fan Yongdou"
"Yo, it turned out to be the proprietor Fan, I don't know what happened when the proprietor came?"
"Yi Qianhu, I have a batch of grain to be transported to Datong, I don't know if I can be accommodating?"
Yi Ying put on a businesslike appearance, "Is there a way?" β
Da Ming Law, anyone who leaves his hometown, must hold the road, if there is no road, can be punished as a traitor.
For several years, Fan Yongdou's caravan had been unimpeded in Shanxi, and no one had ever asked him for a way.
Unexpectedly, today I met someone in Guangling City who asked for a guide.
Fan Yongdou's face changed, and he said after a while: "I have a document issued by Bao Chengxian, the deputy general of Datong, here I don't know if I can count it?" β
Yi Ying took a breath, Deputy General Datong is a second-grade military attachΓ©, a general second only to the general army, and he really can't afford to provoke a person at this level.
"Present"
Suddenly, a document stamped with Bao Chengxian's seal appeared in front of Yi Ying.
The general meaning of the document is: the activities of the Fan caravan are guaranteed by Bao Chengxian, and if anyone has doubts, they can go to Datong to find Bao Chengxian.
What are you kidding, Yi Ying just wants to embarrass Fan Yongdou, where do you dare to provoke the second-rank deputy general?
At this time, the courage that had been finally mustered faded instantly, and Yi Ying coaxed, "Let them enter the city".
The soldiers at the gate of the city had all their strength to teach people, but who would have thought that they would wait for such an order.
I had the heart to say a few words, but seeing Yi Ying's dead-like face, no one dared to say more.
Yi Qianhu made it clear that he was angry, and whoever dared to provoke him at this time would be killing himself.
"Senho-sama!"
Who would have thought that at this time, there would really be a person who was not afraid of death.
Fan's convoy has already begun to enter the city, and one after another big cars are really eye-catching.
However, the attention of many soldiers was on Yi Ying, and they wanted to see who dared to provoke Yi Qianhu at this time without opening their eyes.
"Brother Wang!"
What is amazing is that instead of being angry, Yi Ying showed a smiling face, which stunned the soldiers who were waiting to watch the play.
Is this still the Yi Qianhu who is angry with others?
Could it be that the sun has come out of the west?
Naturally, the sun did not come out of the west, and it was Wang Teng who came from the west.
When Fan's convoy came outside the city, Yi Ying secretly sent someone to give Wang Teng.
Wang Teng walked all the way, but he didn't expect to be a step slower.
Yi Ying was very embarrassed, "Brother Xian, I did my best for my brother."
Wang Teng laughed, Yi Ying was able to take the initiative to stop Fan Yongdou, which was already unexpected.
The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and you can't ask for too much at first.
"Brother doesn't need to say much, the younger brother understands, and Lord Wei also understands"
That one sentence is worth a thousand words!
Yi Ying has completely offended Fan Yongdou, at this time, his only hope is to get closer to Wei Yuan, if even Wei Yuan doesn't like him, then he will be able to do it.
