Chapter 40 The ancients were honest and could not be deceived
readx; Shopkeeper Sun leaned down and closed Kuliba's bloodied and tearful eyes, and then stood beside Kulibachi's corpse and said astringently: "Five years ago, the head of the family ordered the Yun family to set up a Liaodong caravan, and at that time, the Liaodong caravan had two stewards, one was Lao Zhao and the other was an old man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoΒ£β
Lao Zhao was specifically responsible for solving Hai Dongqing's affairs, and after less than three years, he was promoted because he found Hai Dongqing, who could transmit military information, and became the second housekeeper in the family.
The old man is different, the old man is responsible for the trivial business of ginseng, fur and medicinal herbs in the caravan, so the people he deals with are much more complicated.
When we first arrived in Liaodong, we didn't know any of us, we only had this desolate land in our eyes, and we didn't even know where to start doing business.
The people here used to trade only with the Khitans and Goryeo, and basically did not deal with the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. We are facing danger, not only from beasts and savages, but also from the Goryeo and Khitans, and even from our Song people.
In order to open up the trade route, the old man personally carried the goods into the wild crowd to trade with them, and suffered a lot......"
The old shopkeeper listened to these things, and the original heartless smile gradually disappeared, and the old shopkeeper was not the only one who carried the goods into the mountain, he also went, and even carried more, and those days were indeed miserable.
The old shopkeeper looked up at Yun Er, who had a gloomy expression, and continued: "The time when the life of our Liaodong caravan really started to get better was after I met Kuli Bachi.
The wolves surrounded us, it was Kulibache and his people who saved us, and we fought off the wolves together, and the old man still can't forget the drinking and singing with Kulibache by the campfire. It was through that exchange that the spirits of the Yun family began to be welcomed in Liaodong.
It was the old man who used the spirits to open up the trading situation of the Liaodong caravan in the north, and finally obtained all the goods we needed. β
The old shopkeeper sat in a pool of blood and said with tears streaming down his face: "I used my life and death history and spirits to make friends with Kulli Bachi. In the end, we ended our friendship with liquor mixed with arsenic. β
Yun Er opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that he didn't seem to have anything to say, the old shopkeeper took out a small wine jug and took a sip of wine, and said with a sad smile: "The second son is not a gentleman, nor is he a tyrannical person, you must have a reason to do this."
However, the old man did not want to listen. I don't want to hear it, no matter how great your plan is for the eldest son and the second son, at this moment, we are sorry for Kulibachi!
Since the second prince has already done the thing, he might as well do it absolutely, if he wants to provoke the dissatisfaction of the Jurchens with Sun Sancao, it is not enough to kill Kulibachi, because I invited Kulibachi to come to Black Mountain Island, and it is imperfect for you to blame others in a hurry.
The old man is the head of the Yun family's caravan. Ever since Madame pulled me out of the microgram, then I should repay it with my life. Your plan will only be perfect if I am dead and who will send our corpses to the Blackwater Jurchens. β
Yun Er shook his head and said; "Where the Yun family makes a plan, it never puts the Yun family's own people in a position where they can be sacrificed, if that's the case, this plan will be canceled, and we won't betray our own people. It doesn't matter who it is. β
The old shopkeeper sighed and said, "Originally, Kulli Bachi could also become his own people, when we were chatting. He was very yearning for the apricot blossoms and fireworks in Jiangnan that I described, and always said that Liaodong was too cold, and he wanted to take his children and grandchildren to live in the Jiangnan of the fragrant flowers and fireworks and rains I said. β
Yun Er said coldly: "This is exactly his way of death, although Jiangnan is beautiful, it can't accommodate more people." β
The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Jiangnan can't tolerate Kuli Bachi, but Kuli Bachi welcomes me to settle down in Liaodong." He said that Liaodong is very large and can accommodate many people to hunt and graze together......
Hahaha, don't talk about this, although the old man is not on the corpse over the years, he can be regarded as doing some things. Please ask the second son to treat my children and grandchildren well for the sake of the old man's loyalty to the family, as for the old man, he plans to stay in Liaodong and not go back. β
Yun Er's face changed, and he grabbed the old shopkeeper's hand a few steps forward, and the wine jug in the old shopkeeper's hand fell weakly, Yun Er grabbed the wine in the wine jug and changed color and said, "Poisonous wine?" β
The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Poured out of that yin and yang pot, both kinds of wine have been poured some, our arsenic toxicity is good, and the old man is now in pain in his abdomen." β
"Gastric lavage, gastric lavage immediately!" Yun Er loudly beckoned the big guy and the others to make soapy water, and he picked up the teapot on the table himself to fill the old shopkeeper with water to dilute the poison in his stomach.
A wisp of blood and tears flowed down the corners of the old patriarch's eyes, and Yun Shuang's movements couldn't help but slow down, and he was poisoned, and there was no help.
The old patriarch seemed to know his current appearance, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his expression relaxed, and he arched his hand towards Yun Er, and naturally lay on Kuli Bachi's body and said with a smile: "Tiger, I know it's wrong, if you have any grievances, come at me, I really don't know that that beautiful wine pot is a yin and yang pot......
You always say that a good brother should drink a jar of wine, damn it, I really have to drink a bowl of wine with you for a long time......"
The old shopkeeper was speechless at last, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding out again, and the corners of his eyes, ears, and nose began to bleed out, and finally he convulsed and stopped moving.
Yun Er sleepwalked back to his couch, sat there with an empty mind, just now he was still venting his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the old shopkeeper Liaodong, who knew that it would become like this in a blink of an eye.
"Am I wrong?"
Yun Er tortured himself from the bottom of his heart for the first time, his ears were full of inexplicable roars, and the appearance of the shopkeeper Sun's seven tricks bleeding seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it, looking at the pleading eyes of the shopkeeper Sun in his head, he sighed helplessly and laughed at himself: "It's really not a person who can do big things." β
The cobbler came to the old shopkeeper's side, stretched out his hand to test his breath, shook his head helplessly, arched his hand at the corpse, and went back to weave his own leather cord again.
The big man gritted his teeth and took out his knife to give himself another knife to his newly grown arm, but the knife was knocked away by a pebble thrown by the cobbler.
"Second son, since the old shopkeeper has already formulated a plan, we can implement it directly, as long as those savages see that the old shopkeeper is dead and I am injured, this black cauldron will definitely be firmly buckled on Sun Sancao's head, and I dare to guarantee that Liaodong will be in chaos again."
The big guy ignored the dagger that was knocked away, and hurriedly admonished Yun Er.
"Tomorrow we will start loading, we will go back to Wild Ass Island, my child should be half a year old by now, and he should go back anyway.
Why, one of the Yun family's big ships sank in the sea ice, and the big shopkeeper and his men on board, as well as some invited guests, were all killed. You send someone to deliver this news to Suzhou City, and then send someone to send all the goods here that we can't use to the Dahu Jurchen tribe." β
After Yun Er finished speaking, he got up and went back to his room.
The big guy looked at the corpses all over the ground, and then at the closed door of the second young master, gritted his teeth and prepared to go to Yun Er again, such a good opportunity should not be missed.
The cobbler said slowly: "Forget it, this time it failed, come back next time, your big shopkeeper used his life to beg the second son to let go of the Dahu Jurchen, there is no room for recovery in this matter, although the second son looks a bit mother-in-law, but ah, it is more reassuring to put your life in the hands of such a person." β
Boss Yan nodded and said: "Lao Tzu has suffered enough in his life to kill decisive people, and now he feels a lot more comfortable with a master like the second son for some reason." β
"But the purpose of our coming here is to seize the islands in this area, and we have to migrate many people to the islands and finally form our own tribes, so what's the matter if we give up halfway now?"
Where is the big guy thundering.
The cobbler sneered, patted his own peeling knife on the leather and said: "If you can't come to the yin, we will come hard, now there are more than 60 sea ships floating on the sea, and the strength to attack Suzhou City is probably not enough, but the ability to attack the island is still there, and when you return, you will completely clean up the big and small Changshan Island and the surrounding sea areas."
When we come back in the autumn, we will clean it up again, and the old man promises that we can have as many islands as we want, and it is said that there are 3,000 islands in the East China Sea, most of which are uninhabited islands, and we can always take them all back with a little effort. β
The big guy said worriedly: "In that case, it will drag on for a long time, and Sun Sancao of Suzhou City will not watch us take the islands one by one."
I heard the second young master say that the eldest prince is in a difficult situation in Shuzhong, and he needs to send his clansmen to a safe place as soon as possible, what place in this world is safe? Nature is our own place.
The young and strong men of the Jiazi battalion were all serving in the army, and those who remained were old, weak, sick and disabled, and if they did not have enough servants to take care of them, they would not have been able to live alone on the island.
Even if Sun Sancao can't stop our movements at sea, he definitely has the ability to block the channel for us to receive the Han people, and the reason why the second young master wants to find someone to replace Sura Hague is to establish a transportation channel, and nothing else. β
Boss Yan said with a smile: "Since we have reached the sea, we are pirates, and robbing the population is also a matter of pirates, and Lao Tzu does not believe that the Liao people have the ability to seal all the seas." β
The cobbler shook his head and said, "Unless those people are willing to go to the island, those old and weak women and children are not capable of supervising these people for a long time, which is not appropriate!" β
The big guy sighed, and went out to prepare for the old shopkeeper, because after his incident, he also needed to prepare a decent funeral for Kulibachi and others......
Yun Er stood by the window, watching the big guy command a group of men to dig a grave for those who died on the edge of Black Mountain, and for the first time realized that he was not a god who could do anything. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
