066: Angry and frustrated reactions
"Smack!"
Another crisp sound came from inside the house, today is already the tenth porcelain that has been smashed into the anger of the people in the house, hearing this harsh sound, the maids outside the house shrank their heads and carefully pass through the corner of the courtyard, for fear that their footsteps will attract the attention of the people in the house, causing new anger to vent on themselves. And outside the arch of the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a somewhat panicked expression just wanted to step into the courtyard door and was stopped by this crisp sound, in this case it is indeed a little inappropriate to report the latest bad news he brought, but the stakes are very important and I am afraid that the evening newspaper will suffer to me, hesitate again and again, and finally saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe standing outside the house, he showed a happy smile, walked quickly to the middle-aged man's side, and whispered the new news to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also looked horrified after listening to the report, the new news is indeed super bad news that will make people angry, even he thinks that the people in the house will be furious after hearing the news, twisting a few of his own goatees, and when he is also hesitating whether to relay the report to the people in the house, a voice came from the house:
"Liu Fan, you're outside......"
"Master, I'm here!"
The middle-aged man in the long shirt heard the people in the house call him, his voice seemed to have calmed down a lot, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, motioned for the strong man to wait outside, and pushed the door in after he was fully dressed.
The room was full of porcelain shards and some messy debris, and the middle-aged man in the long shirt secretly smacked his tongue that he had followed the master for so long, and it was the first time he had seen the master make such a big fire. But fortunately, the current master seems to have calmed down, and he is holding the last teacup, returning to his previous calm posture.
"Liu Fan, just say something, is there bad news again......" The person in the room is the Boss Liu, at this moment he gently brushed away the foam on the tea bowl, and his movements were calm and quiet as if nothing had happened just now.
"Uh...... Master Mingjian, indeed...... There is new bad news......" The middle-aged man in the long shirt cautiously tested it, and after seeing that Boss Liu did not react excessively, he continued to tell boldly. "To the east, the caravan folded again, and the body and most of the goods have been found, just like the previous two ambushes, they were all killed in a direct ambush without warning, and the body had the same gunshot wounds......"
"Smack!!"
The cracking sound of the last teacup in the room interrupted Liu Fan's report, and Boss Liu slapped the desktop next to him and scolded fiercely:
"These people are so bold, they really bully me, no one is !!"
If it was usual, Liu Fan could hurriedly dissuade Boss Liu with his identity, but today Liu Fan was a little undare, in the past few days, from the first chariot and horse team did not arrive as scheduled to attract attention, and found the body and vehicle at noon on the third day, and then to today's seventh day, these seven days such bad news came one after another, this is already the third chariot and horse caravan sent out was ambushed, if it was changed to before, all the armed forces of the entire family and the entire shop have been mobilized to prepare for revenge, but this time... … The opponent was too weird and sharp, not only did he not find any clues that could corroborate the identity of the attacker at the scene, but also did not leave any information that could be tracked, except for the bullet holes and lead pellets left on the corpses, vehicles and goods, telling the strength and special features of the opponent's strength......
"Liu Fan, are the others back?!"
Dropping the last teacup also calmed down Boss Liu again, it is easy to be numb after hearing too much news, after so many things, Boss Liu also understands that this time is not the time to simply lose his temper and put out the fire, but to do something to stop such things from continuing to happen.
"By noon today, all but the last team of chariots and horses and the team that went to Nandan Province six days ago to trade, all the others have returned." Liu Fan's somewhat confident answer finally gave a good news, except for one of the expatriate who went too far to be contacted, the remaining three teams have been clearly ambushed, so this loss has at least been clarified, and no matter how bad it is, there will be a fourth ambushed team.
Sure enough, when I heard the good news in this bad news, my face suddenly became a lot better, and I was not afraid that the situation would deteriorate, but what I was most afraid of was that I would be inexplicably deteriorated without knowing anything; Now that the rest of the centaurs have basically returned to concentrate, then not only can you determine the biggest losses, but at the same time, the concentrated strength will also give you the ability to carry out the next counterattack.
"What's the news from Master Chen?" After all, Boss Liu has been crawling and rolling for so many years, and after stabilizing his emotions, his wise brain began to work normally.
"There aren't any new leads, and ...... After the incident, Master Chen's side except for some movement on the day after the news of the attack on the first chariot and horse team arrived, and after the third day, there was no follow-up, and even the shirk was gone, it seems that the official government thundered heavily and rained, either it received some rumors, or it was frightened by the continuous news later......
Liu Fan couldn't stop shaking his head when he recounted the information from Master Chen's side, these official mansions, when they have benefits and collect money, one or two chests beat louder than a drum, but when something really happens, the prevarication is faster than the ball.
Boss Liu didn't say much about the reaction of the government, he knew better than his housekeeper Liu Fan what kind of virtue these people were, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked again: "What is the reaction of other business houses?" Especially the Huang family?! ”
"After hearing the news, all the trading houses that could run the caravan of horses and horses withdrew their people, and they all sent consolation money for white affairs. The Huang family didn't have any special movements, and like everyone else, they also began to withdraw after receiving the news, and they couldn't find any handles and clues......"
As a housekeeper who has followed him for many years, Liu Fan naturally said what the key point of his master wanted to ask, and concisely and quickly reported to the master what he could collect and analyze.
"Liu Fan, do you say this matter is related to the Huang family?" After listening to the housekeeper's report, Boss Liu was also a little hesitant, if he caught any trick, whether it was Xingshi asking the guilt or using the question to play, it would be beneficial to his next move, but the other party's performance was simply leaky, not only did he not catch any reason, but also made himself begin to doubt his judgment a little.
Hearing his master ask himself like this, the flesh on the butler Liu Fan's face twitched twice, knowing that this question was indeed a little difficult to answer, and after thinking for a moment in his heart, he gritted his teeth and replied:
"This ...... Master, let me dare to ask first, yes or no, what are you going to do next, sir? Just like the people who robbed us and killed us thirteen years ago, the people who concentrated people and pacified him?! ”
"If you do that, is there a problem? If you don't do that, is there a problem? ”
Boss Liu was a little puzzled why his housekeeper and think tank asked like this, but the long-term cooperation made him know that the other party must have his reasons for saying this, so he gave two rhetorical questions as if asking for answers.
"Master, in my opinion, it is naturally inappropriate not to do this usually, if someone robs the goods, kills and injures people and horses and does not find the field, it will not only break the face of the master, but also weaken the prestige of our old Liu firm, and let people see our jokes! But this matter is different from the thirteen years of Shuangfeng Village, Shuangfeng Village was to eat leopard gall to kill people and cross the goods, we naturally found the main owner to capture and subdue Zhengwei, but now this matter has not been able to find any clues, not only do not know who did it, but what is more surprising is that these people come and go without a trace and their sharp firearms!! ”
After pausing very skillfully, Liu Fan squinted his eyes to observe the master's emotions and expressions, and then boldly continued:
"The old guards in the trading house and the heavy money invited to the past did not find more clues when they inspected the scene, but what can be determined is that the other party does not have many people in ambush each time, if it only happens once, it is not surprising, but it is eye-popping that the other party can carry out such a means of ambush in different directions and locations in succession, which can only show that the other party is not only good at ambushes, but also good at turning in; Just imagine, in such a short period of time, three consecutive ambushes are successful, either these people have excellent foot strength, or there are many people...... And with that sharp firearm......"
Boss Liu is not a fool, he can naturally hear the meaning of the housekeeper's words, the other party is either small but strong, or there are many people and strong strength, no matter which point these two points are, it is enough for him to be afraid and dare not do it. This person has a small number of people, but he can't catch it if he runs fast with good foot strength, and he can't afford to provoke him if he has a large number of people...... Plus the firearms of the other side...... Anyone has to weigh it before they do it......
"So that's it?" Boss Liu asked this thinker unwillingly.
"This ...... Master, if you don't do this, it will indeed ruin the prestige of our Laoliu firm, but now that the matter is unclear, in my humble opinion...... endure the sea and the sky for a while, and we can only guess that this matter should be related to the Huang family, but who is it? Is it the force cooperating with the Huang family, is it the group of people in Liucheng County...... We only have a little bit of news, even if we are now trying to get this field back...... Forgive me a discouraged word: we don't even know where these people are, how can we set out to get revenge......"
After listening to the analysis of his own think tank, Boss Liu also thoroughly figured out all the ways in this, these things are not difficult to analyze and understand, but he was too angry to calm down and analyze, and now he combed it so carefully, he really can only do this, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly came to his heart.
Seeing that his master had admitted the big loss this time, the housekeeper leaned forward gently:
"Master, endure for a while but don't have to endure for a lifetime, I have a plan......"
