Chapter 640: Temptation

"What a bunch of big fish...... One is the second product, two are the third product, three are the fourth product, and five are the fifth product...... If you really arrest these people at one time, it is impossible not to ......cause a sensation without causing a sensation" Luo Mansion in Beijing City, looking at the list of gatherings just sent by his subordinates, Luo Yang's calm eyes directly shot out two hot gazes.

Then, he continued: "Now it seems that God is helping me...... Let me go down with one net and catch so many people...... This time, Luo and the internal guard, even if they are not famous, it is impossible......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's decision suddenly came to Luo Yangxing's mind.

After a brief contemplation of the list in his hand, he resolutely opened his mouth and ordered......

"Passing it on, it is urgent to send more people to monitor the every move of these civil and military officials...... Not surprisingly, their next smuggling operation will be when our internal guards will collect the nets......"

"In addition, there is another very important matter, immediately mobilize our secret agents lurking in the Yang Mansion to find the account book of Yang Guowei's smuggling and account sharing. As long as the ledger is found, this will become an ironclad case......"

One night ten days later, a caravan of more than 200 carts was hurrying along the official road in the direction of the border pass.

In this caravan that stretched for several miles, in addition to more than two hundred chauffeurs, there were seven or eight hundred escorts......

Not only that, but these guards are all very tough men. Not only is it well-equipped, but it also exudes a murderous aura that can only be seen in the military......

Such a powerful escort directly illustrates two problems......

The strength of this caravan is very strong......

Of course, the supplies transported in the caravan of more than two hundred carts. It is also very important.

The caravan was in the middle. The steward of the caravan surrounded by several guards. With a solemn face, he kept urging the team around him to speed up.

Because, in the more than 200 carts, there were not only salt and other materials that were urgently needed by the Houjin Tartars, but also thousands of muskets, gunpowder, and lead bullets used to equip the troops......

Suffice it to say, just the supplies and equipment on board. No matter which one is found, there is only one ending waiting for them...... Although the government has received orders along the way, not to check the caravan they are in. However, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if......

Only when we really enter the border and have the protection of the army can we be truly safe.

Therefore, even though the caravan was traveling fast and the funds were fast, the steward was still constantly urging.

And at this moment, the destination of this caravan is in a border fortress less than ten miles away from the caravan's current location. Even though there were not many civilians in the city, hundreds of cavalry still galloped back and forth in the city to warn......

"After the appearance of the Golden Tartar cavalry outside the city. All the people stayed at home and were forbidden to walk around the streets. Otherwise, they will be punished as collaborators ......"

Under the continuous running back and forth of these cavalry, in less than half an hour, there was no longer a single active person in the border pass city.

The former Border Pass General Military Mansion, now the headquarters of the garrison regiment, the regiment commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder, is stomping back and forth in the small headquarters with a dignified face, to cover up the tension in his heart at this moment.

Because, as an officer of the Haw Par Army, he is very aware of the harshness of the Haw Par Army's military regulations. The matter that is about to start in front of him, if it is revealed, there is no other ending waiting for him except to kill his head.

Under such circumstances, as the lieutenant colonel, the reason why he would take a risk and choose to do this is really too tempting for silver...... From the level you defend, a caravan is paid 10,000 taels of silver.

Even if his annual military salary is already very high, 10,000 taels of silver is his income for almost five years.

Therefore, under the temptation of silver, the head of the regiment agreed without much thought.

However, in order to ensure the concealment of this matter, the head of the regiment led such a big drama after the attack of the Golden Tartars on this night.

The whole city was under martial law, and the defenders of the city gate were arranged as their own henchmen, as much as possible to cover up the fact that the caravan passed through the Guò checkpoint.

In this way, with the cooperation of the local government and the army, the convoy, which stretched for several miles, was like a ghost in the night, and left the Haw Par military control area without the slightest movement......

Looking at the border wall behind him, which was getting farther and farther away from him, the tense facial expression of the caravan steward along the way finally relaxed.

After looking at the coachmen and guards around him who were already exhausted from the continuous journey, he ordered very happily......

"Pass it down, and after walking two miles ahead and not being able to see the border at all, let's stop and rest for an hour. After an hour, continue on your way, and try to get to the trading point before dark, and complete the transaction with the Houjin Tartars......"

"When the time comes, I will definitely fulfill my promise to everyone...... The coachman will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the guard will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, so that everyone can go back and be chic......"

Under the temptation of silver, the guards and coachmen who were guarding both sides of the convoy immediately became boiling.

At this time, the commander of the guards beside him suddenly reminded: "Steward Wang, although we are out of the customs...... However, after all, this is the territory of the Houjin Tartars, so you don't have to worry about the Houjin Tartars knowing our movements and giving us a black ...... After all, there are only a thousand of us. If the Houjin Tartars are willing, they can wipe out us on the steppe with a random cavalry......"

The king steward with a high-minded expression, although he looked down on the martial artist from the army around him.

However, after thinking that he was safe and needed to be protected by the other party. Suppress the contempt in your heart as much as possible, and answer: "Commander Zhang, you don't know this...... Now, we are the only ones who dare to trade with the Houjin Tartars. ”

"If they eat black, then no one will dare to trade with them. In this way, it will no longer be possible for the Houjin Tartars to obtain a single bit of supplies from the Guannai......"

"Not to mention anything else, salt is an indispensable material for Houjin Tartar. Do you think that the Houjin Tartars will be so stupid as to ruin the future of the entire Houjin for a little interest......"

With the steward's explanation, the worries in the guard commander's heart also disappeared completely.

So, during the hour of rest, the commander of the guard, who was completely relieved, did not even put the least of the guard posts.

However, what they didn't expect was that under the cover of the dark night, a cavalry leading a war horse was approaching them step by step in the dark.

More than a thousand cavalry, when there were still two miles left from the caravan, quickly dispersed and surrounded the smuggling caravan gathered in the steppe......

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the caravan that was close to each other, after eating dry food, was ready to set off again with excitement and anticipation.

A deafening sound of horseshoe suddenly sounded around.

Countless torches appeared around the caravan, one after the other, surrounding the caravan.

At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you know that you are surrounded, and it is the cavalry that surrounds you. (To be continued......)
