Chapter 305: Calling it a day
"Okay, Uncle Wang has already gone to the river to investigate the investment materials and money collected during the day, I hope nothing happens there, let's go and see it quickly."
Zuo Wen was frightened and calmed down, and then he remembered a more terrifying possibility - Wu County had never entered such a large-scale robbers, and it was just during the day that the Development Office collected a large amount of materials and money, and the robbers came at night, could it be that they went to this batch of things?
If that were the case, it would be even more trouble!
Li Han looked at the colorless Zuo Wen who was reflected under the light of the torches, and felt a little pity for this shrewd and capable county guard, but he couldn't comfort him, otherwise he would probably guess something by this old fox, so he just said in a deep voice: "Zuo County Guard, it's better to hand over your guard to my personal guard commander for unified command, my people are all back from the Huns with me, and they are more experienced." ”
Zuo Wen couldn't wait for this, Li Han took the initiative to take away the command to suppress the bandits, and he would take responsibility for success or failure, and Huiji County would have a lot less responsibility, so he hurriedly handed over the military power with a thousand thanks.
Li San roared: "Keep up with the red tooth flag of my lord, let's rush!" There is my lord's heavenly thunder bomb, see which robber dares to resist! ”
Jiangnan people have always been feminine and weak, and those soldiers are also the first time they have encountered robbers, and they are scared.
God, that day's thunder bombs had destroyed more than 10,000 Hun Tartars at a time, where could these robbers resist, now it's good, there is no danger, and they can take military merits, which one doesn't run fast, followed by the fluttering "hairpin" red tooth flag in front of him, and rushed out with a roar.
Zuo Wen and Li Han had just gotten into the carriage, and before they had gone far, they heard "boom" and "boom", and several loud noises that made people's souls fly away, followed by the thief's shout: "Oh, it's the heavenly thunder bullet of the hairpin, brothers." The wind is tight, and it is! ”
Immediately afterwards, there was the cry of ghosts and wolves, and the sound of horses' hooves, and then the streets gradually became much quieter, except for the occasional shrill cry of women and children, and the noise seemed to have died down with the smoke of gunpowder in the air.
"Sir, that loud noise just now was a thunderbolt?"
Li Han said with a slight sneer: "If it is a thunderbolt, I'm afraid this street will be gone, and it is just the least powerful grenade." It was my guards who deliberately frightened the robbers, so that they would not be killed in the city and accidentally wounded the people, and they would be driven out of the city and then annihilated. ”
So, the carriage went all the way to the river outside the city, and there was still a huge explosion on the hillside far away, but this sound was better than the music played by the reddest flower girls in the south of the Yangtze River in Zuowen's ears.
Stopping the carriage without any danger, Zuo Wen cried as soon as he jumped down: "Oh my God, where are the things?" ”
Li Han smiled secretly in his heart. Then he jumped out of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw that the torches in front of the warehouse door were bright, and the door was open, so that he could see it at a glance.
Zuo Wen flew in like a weasel. Looking at the empty warehouse, which didn't even have a single mouse, his face was full of tears as if he was gone, and he couldn't say a word.
Li Han walked in and said, "Zuo Junshou doesn't have to be sad. It wasn't the robbers who snatched the things, it was the uncle who felt that the things were not suitable in the warehouse last night, lest something go wrong. ordered someone to load the ship overnight, but who knew that he really expected it, and there was really a fucking thief. ”
Zuo Wen sat down on the ground again, patted the ground and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy, Jiang is still old and spicy!" Thanks to King Liang, thanks to King Liang! By the way, what about King Liang? ”
"When the thieves broke in, the uncle knew that we had few people, so he ordered someone to drive the ship away first, and it is estimated that this time they will all go to the development site of Hangzhou City."
"This is the best, this is the best, we have no worries!" Zuo Wen said happily.
The sky is gradually brightening, the explosions and shouts in the distance have gradually subsided, and when the morning glow is full, the first rays of sunshine in the south of the Yangtze River are still bright, and the river is covered with golden ripples like fish scales, as if a fight is a ridiculous dream last night.
Li Han and Zuo Wen returned to the city, and looked all the way, but fortunately, Li Han's personal guards commanded effectively, and the rescue was timely, the damage in the city was not severe, and most of the houses were intact, but a few shops were burned down, and there were no dead people, which was a great luck in misfortune.
What made Zuo Wen and Jiang Ping's officials most happy was that Li San actually caught two alive and came back, and after interrogation, the true face of this gang of robbers finally fell in broad light -- the robbers were Qiang people from the north, and their purpose was to grab grain for the winter, and now they did not leave, but temporarily hid nearby, and did not dare to enter the house and rob again under the pressure of the officers and soldiers, but they could not return empty-handed, so they were ready to wait for the night to secretly harvest the crops in the field and leave overnight.
This news spread as pervasively throughout the ditches and ditches in the south of the Yangtze River, and at this moment, the farmers who still had crops in the fields were frightened, and the robbers did not dare to break into the house and rob the crops in the fields.
So, the farming in Jiangnan started in advance, although those ears of grain are still a little green, but it does not affect the farmers' enthusiasm for harvesting, from the dawn news to the sunset, all the crops in Jiangnan are clean!
Of course, the big grain merchants in the surrounding cities also received reminders from "well-wishers": the purpose of the robbers is grain, and the primary object of robbery is the grain merchants, and the grain merchants in Wu County have been robbed!
At this moment, those grain merchants are panicked and want to sell grain to ensure safety, but in a hurry, where is there a giant businessman who can swallow so much grain, even if there is, people will save their lives!
Fortunately, thanks to the endless road, the lord realized everyone's suffering, and sent his men to buy a large amount of grain, as much as he wanted, and the price of each bucket of millet was a big dollar higher than the market price.
This was an unexpected joy, and the grain merchants who wanted to raise the price of grain until the end of the year were pleasantly surprised, and on this day they dug up all the grain hidden in the cellar at home and sold it.
The most empathetic thing about the lord is that when he was buying grain from the "old man", he deliberately beat the gongs and drums, and loaded the ship and transported it away, which was undoubtedly telling the robbers to stop beating these grain merchants, and to find him if they wanted to grab the grain.
At this moment, the entire Jiangnan people, especially the grain merchants who sold out of grain, can be regarded as unloading a huge burden.
In one day, Li Han bought three times more grain than he expected, loaded it in front of the whole Jiangnan people, and went north to the location of Jinan in the later generations, which is where Liu Li's stronghold is.
In the afternoon of this day, the lord and his entourage were about to leave Huiji County.
Before leaving, the six beauties of the Jade Bottle Garden knelt around Li Han from side to side, crying almost fainting, and they had to follow along, otherwise they would rather commit suicide.
Li Han was annoyed by being entangled, knowing that these fat powder skeletons had a purpose, and carrying them with him was equivalent to bringing four pinhole cameras, so don't think about keeping privacy from now on, he had the intention to kick one open, but when he lowered his head, he saw crisp chest and jade muscles, hips and pink legs, and nowhere to put his feet.
Annoyed slapped the arm of the woman in red, as soon as Li Han looked down, he saw that the snow-white arm was immediately red and swollen, coupled with the woman's tearful eyes, where could she still be ruthless, somehow her brain was hot, she stomped her feet and said, "Okay, okay, let's go!" Hurry up and pack your things, if you don't finish a stick of incense, you won't wait for the strange master. ”
The six women burst into tears and laughed instantly, as if six delicate flowers bloomed at the same time, but they did not leave Li Han, they still surrounded him.
Li Han looked at Cao Shou's grimace with frowns, and was angry that his head was squeezed by the door, so he rushed out and took the goblins away, seeing that they were still and scolding angrily: "Are you deaf? Why don't you pack up your things, and don't cry when you're pulled down! ”
The woman in red said with a smile: "I wait but beg to be able to follow the lord, and if I want to come, the lord will definitely not let me wait for food and clothing, and I won't pack my luggage or anything, so as not to delay your time." ”
Cao Shou couldn't help it, and laughed: "Hahaha, now you can't play with the golden cicada shell, then take it, I want to see, you bring the six beauties home, how Sister Lian'er will reward you!" ”
Li Han blew his beard and glared at Cao Shou and said, "It's easy to do, I'll send the Pingyang Hou Mansion to serve my aunt, hum!" ”
The faces of the six women instantly turned gloomy, and Cao Shou also bowed with a bitter face and said, "Please, don't harm me, Xi'er will kill me." ”
Li Han, who passed on the pain to Cao Shou, felt very happy, and waved his hand heroically and said, "Flash! ”
The carriage and horses Xiao Xiao out of the city, along the way, the crowd following the car is more and more spectacular, are the people who feel that they were saved by the lord spontaneously came to see them off, the ferry outside Wu County, the officials and people of Jiangnan are full of gratitude, and reluctantly send the lord and his party on the boat, all kinds of fresh fruits are filled with bamboo baskets, desperately stuffed into the boat, hoping that the lord can bring it.
Faced with this situation, Li Han's eyes were also moist, and he shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, remember not to hate Li Han, when the flowers bloom in the spring of next year, maybe everyone will understand that Li Han is not ashamed of Jiangnan, let alone your fathers!"
Okay, let's go back, take care! ”
Jiang Pingzuowen and the others didn't understand what Li Han's words meant, and said goodbye vaguely and loudly, seeing the boat slowly leave, they went back.
Li Han and his entourage went south not far away, bent and turned back in Taihu Lake, at this moment it was already dark at night, the wind and waves on Taihu Lake were calm, the moonlight was like a dream, and the shadow pupils in the distance interpreted a kind of dreamlike romance.
However, Li Han did not have the slightest leisure to feel this kind of tranquility and romance, his face was like night and water, cold and heavy, and he stood on the bow of the boat in white clothes, as straight as a javelin. (To be continued......)
