Early the next morning, news came from inside the Qin family's mansion that the Qin family's caravan had been robbed and killed! The entire caravan had more than 100 people, not only all the goods had been lost, but also more than 20 people, and the most important thing was that none of the more than 20 people, including the three caravan stewards, had escaped.

The Qin family has been a merchant for so many years, and only during the beginning of the period was because they were not familiar with the trails of Dangyang Mountain, so they caused great losses, and in recent years, there has never been such a thing.

In the courtyard of the third lady, Qin Hai's face had a hint of gloom: "Mother, do you say that this matter has anything to do with Qin Shuai?" Steward Yang and they just offended Qin Shuai, and something happened here. ”

The third lady also looked gloomy and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that Qin Shuai shouldn't be so bold, if this matter is known to the master, even if he is the master's own son, the master will abolish him." Besides, even if he had the courage to do so, he didn't have the whole energy, and the bandits on Dangyang Mountain were unruly, how could they listen to him? Last time, I spent 10,000 taels of silver on a small cottage that didn't go into the stream, where did Qin Shuai get so much money? Before there is evidence, don't go out and talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise it will make the old man unhappy. ”

Qin Hai nodded, but at this time he suddenly said: "Otherwise, we will buy Qin Shuai's subordinates and ask them if they know any clues?" The third lady snorted coldly and said: "Then Qin Shuai has become much more cautious after returning from the Nanshan mining area, and those subordinates before him were sent to the Nanshan mining area by him after returning to Qin's house, and now there is no one to find at all, and the only one who follows him is only Li Chong." However, that person is his confidant, and since Qin Shuai has kept him by his side, he will not be afraid that we will buy him. ”

Qin Hai's face showed a hint of unwillingness, his opponent all along was Qin Zhan, the boss of the Qin family, but he didn't expect this Qin Shuai to suddenly appear and cause him a lot of losses.

The third lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't complain, the master will let you go to the discussion later, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”

Qin Hai nodded, turned around and walked out. The caravan is not big, but it is not small or small, but because such a thing has not happened for many years, it also alarmed Qin Zongguang, and some stewards and Qin Shuai and their sons were brought in to observe.

In the conference hall, Qin Shuai sat there without the slightest expression on his face, but Qin Hai glanced at Qin Shuai occasionally, not knowing what he was thinking. The caravan members below who had survived the death still had frightened expressions on their faces and recounted what had happened that night, but unfortunately there was nothing of value. They don't even know each other's bandits, they don't see their appearances, those bandits kill people when they see them, they just care about running for their lives, where can they care about this?

Qin Zongguang waved his hand slightly irritably and said: "Okay, okay, I have memorized the lessons this time, be careful next time, disperse, I'll go back to retreat." ”

At this time, Qin Shuai suddenly stood up and said, "Father, now that the caravan is leaderless, I am willing to lead the caravan to Dangyang Mountain again." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, including Qin Shuai's two brothers. Since the Qin family established a family in Aoki Town, in addition to some overt and covert fights with other family forces, the number of people who have died in the caravan is the second. Just like this time, if you are unlucky enough to foresee the bandits, then whether you can survive or not depends on luck. Therefore, even if Qin Shuai manages the caravan, they will never go with the caravan, at most they are responsible for deploying the caravan's goods and so on.

Qin Zongguang frowned and said, "What kind of mess are you adding? You don't have any experience at all, how can you lead the caravan?"

Qin Shuai said in a deep voice: "Right now, the caravan is panicking, if there is no enough weight to lead them, when will they be able to start again? Other things can be delayed, but my Qin family's pharmacy can't be delayed, and some medicines in the pharmacy will be out of stock if they are not purchased back." As a child of the Qin family, the child is a pioneer and inspiring, so he also asks his father for permission. ”

Qin Zongguang frowned, he didn't seem to expect Qin Shuai's consciousness to be so high. But after thinking about it, he still said, "Then you can go, be careful." ”

Qin Shuai arched his hand and walked out amid the puzzled gazes of the others. The other two brothers didn't care about him, this kind of thankless and even dangerous thing, they wouldn't do it for nothing.

The people who were attacked in the caravan before were all concentrated in a small courtyard, and dozens of people were dejected, being pointed at by the people of the Qin family who came and went. Speaking of which, this time they were indeed a nest, they were robbed as soon as they entered the mountain, things were not saved, and a lot of people died, and even some people were afraid and did not dare to go to the caravan anymore.

Qin Shuai walked in separately from the crowd, and the group of people were also listless, only a few people stood up and arched their hands at Qin Shuai and said, "I've seen the third son." ”

Qin Shuai nodded, glanced at everyone, and Qin Shuai said, "Pack up, the caravan will set off again and head to the Malan Empire." ”

As soon as they heard this, those people immediately became anxious, and immediately became humane: "Third son, we have just had an accident, why do we have to cultivate for a while, and think of a countermeasure before leaving? What if we enter the mountain and are robbed by bandits again?" The other caravan people also echoed one after another, they were really frightened.

The caravan was robbed by Qin Shuai and asked Zhu Gui to send someone, but Qin Shuai just meant to kill Yang Chaodong's stewards, and he was still ready to keep the others, otherwise there was no one in the caravan, what was the point of his caravan?

And in fact, they didn't have many deaths, but the rest of these people seemed to have been frightened, and they didn't dare to continue to go, which made Qin Shuai sneer in his heart, his cheap father really didn't care about the Qin family's affairs, these people have been used to this appearance, and he actually doesn't care.

Looking at the people present, Qin Shuai said coldly: "Cultivate for a while? Think of a countermeasure? It's just a joke! It's not you who died, you didn't even suffer a little injury, what are you cultivating? As for the countermeasures, the bandits in Dangyang Mountain have been causing trouble for decades, and even the court of the Malan Empire can't control it, and you still want countermeasures? A bunch of waste, if you are afraid, just say it, what excuse do you find!"

The members of those caravans all had angry faces, but Qin Shuai was also the third son of the Qin family, they were not even in charge, and they didn't dare to argue with Qin Shuai, they just were silent there with an angry face.

Qin Shuai sneered: "Think it's over if you don't speak?" The Qin family has so many businesses, and the caravan's treatment is the highest. The other miscellaneous subordinates only have one tael and two taels of monthly money, and your caravan is at least ten taels, and the steward can even reach one hundred taels! The Qin family gives you so much monthly money, not to let you be the uncle, you are afraid of death and don't want to go, some people want to go! Li Chong!" Qin Shuai shouted, and Li Chong immediately walked out and said, "The villain is here." Qin Shuai said lightly: "Go, tell those subordinates in the Qin family's miscellaneous room that some of them dare to work hard, and my caravan will dare to ask for it, with a minimum monthly salary of ten taels, as long as they return smoothly every time, half of the caravan's income will be used as their reward." ”

Qin Shuai turned his gaze to the rest of the people in the caravan, and said lightly: "As for you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to work hard in the caravan, go to the road steward and ask him to reassign you a place, of course, the road steward is still lying on the bed now, and it is estimated that he will not have time to care about you." ”

The faces of those people in the caravan changed suddenly, they didn't expect Qin Shuai to do so desperately, and he would kick them all out of the caravan at once. To tell the truth, among so many businesses of the Qin family, the treatment of the caravan is indeed the highest, and they have not encountered any great risks after walking for several years in a row, only this time they were scared. Just because he gave up such a good position this time, the person who was still firm immediately hesitated. And compared with when Yang Chaodong was in charge of the caravan before, the third prince was very generous, and he was willing to take out half of the caravan's income as a reward. Don't look at this half of the money seems to be very small, and the share in the hands of these hundreds of people is even less, but the income of each caravan is thousands of taels, and on average, they can also get a few taels of silver, which is a lot for them.

At this moment, Fang Cai, the first person to jump out and question Qin Shuai, was the first to defect, and hurriedly begged: "Third son, Fang Cai is a villain lard blinded by his heart, the Qin family treats me well, and asks the third prince to give me a chance." ”

Qin Shuai didn't know anything about the caravan, and now that those stewards were dead, it was naturally impossible for him to really drive them all out of the caravan. So Qin Shuai just said lightly: "There is only one chance, if you don't grasp it again, then don't blame me for not being emotional." Those who are willing to stay in the caravan now will come with me. ”

Of the more than seventy members of the caravan present, only more than ten were really frightened, and they would rather leave without the treatment of the caravan, as for the others, they all obediently followed Qin Shuai to prepare and start again.

The caravan's charter is actually not too difficult, it is nothing more than to exchange what you have, sell the specialties of Aoki Town to the Malan Empire, make a lot of money, and then bring some specialties back from the Malan Empire. It's just that if you walk from the main road, although it is safe, it is too long, and you can't get around Dangyang Mountain for a month. If you cross Dangyang Mountain directly, you can walk twice a month if you are fast.

This time, Qin Shuai led the team, and he had already greeted Zhu Gui and asked Zhu Gui's subordinates to cooperate with him to perform a scene, which was for the people of the Qin family and other bandits in Dangyang Mountain.

After entering Dangyang Mountain, Qin Shuai took another trade route that Yang Chaodong and the others had walked, and the subordinates of those caravans along the way were like frightened birds, for fear that there would be more bandits. But the reality is that he is afraid of something, and at this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came: "Little ones, come out, business is coming! People are killed, things are left!" The voice fell, and hundreds of bandits rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded the caravan.

By this time, the people in the caravan were already regretting their deaths. Knowing this, they wouldn't continue to come to look for death with Qin Shuai, but now that the money has not been obtained, their lives are almost gone!But at this moment, Qin Shuai suddenly said to Li Chong: "Take the fire oil, prepare to light the fire!" Li Chong nodded, directly opened the carriage containing the goods, and opened a clay pot on the top of the carriage, which emitted a pungent smell, it was a can of fire oil, and Li Chong also took out a flint from his arms at this time, and the fire oil could be ignited at any time.

Qin Shuai pointed to the clay pot and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is such a fire oil tank on every carriage, you ask for money and kill you, but the people of my Qin family will not let anyone slaughter it! It's a big deal that I will burn the goods with a fire, and then fight you to the death, and you don't want to get anything!" Those people in the caravan looked at Qin Shuai, and their eyes showed a look of surprise, obviously they didn't expect this third prince to have such a hand. It's just that what if you run into a hot-tempered bandit and would rather kill them than this thing?

Among the bandits, a strong man carrying * walked out, this person Qin Shuai knew, he was one of Zhu Gui's henchmen, he had the strength of a demon spirit, the name didn't know, but the other bandits called him Liu Yidao, which means that his knife skills are very fast, and he often kills people with only one knife. Liu Yidao pretended not to know Qin Shuai, he sneered: "It's more tender to play this game with uncle, do you believe it or not, uncle, I'd rather not want these things, and I want to kill you?"

Qin Shuai shook his head and said, "What's the trouble with this, this good man, it's better to do this, you have a competition with me, I lose, let you deal with it." If I win, you'll let us go, how about that?"

Liu Yidao laughed and said: "A powerless boy brother also wants to do it with me? Since you want to find death, then I will fulfill you!"

The other members of the caravan were all frowning, no wonder they were worried, it was true that this third prince had never been famous for his strength in the Qin family. In the entire Qin family, only the eldest prince is recognized as having a very good martial arts talent, and now he has reached the level of a magician. Qin Shuai dismounted, took out the short knife in his hand, arched his hand at Liu Yidao, and attacked Liu Yidao directly. Qin Shuai is not good at using weapons, but Liu Yidao is good at it. But now that the two of them are acting, it is naturally impossible to use the kind of quick knife technique that kills the enemy with one move, so just like ordinary martial artists, you fight back and forth. There were almost no real martial artists among the Qin family's subordinates, and most of them had only learned some superficial fist and foot kung fu, so in their opinion, the two sides were fighting fiercely. After fighting dozens of moves, Liu Yidao deliberately released the water, and Qin Shuai directly slashed the * in his hand with a knife, and arched his hand and said, "Accept it." ”

Liu Yidao's acting skills are not bad, he showed a depressed look on his face and said: "Okay, okay, let's go, I didn't expect that your son-in-law still has some strength, it's the uncle that I underestimate the enemy." ”

As soon as they heard this, the people on the other side of the caravan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cheered collectively. But at this time, Qin Shuai said: "This good man is slow. ”

Liu Yidao frowned and said, "What else is going on with your kid?" The people on the other side of the caravan were also very puzzled, they were now eager to get as far away from these bandits as possible, what else did the third prince do to the other party?

Qin Shuai arched his hand and said, "I want to talk to you about a business." ”

Liu Yidao pointed at himself and said, "I heard you right? You are talking to me about business with a bandit?"

Qin Shuai nodded and said, "That's right, it's about business." If this caravan transports this batch of goods to the Malan Empire, it can be sold for thousands of taels when it changes hands, but in fact, if this batch of goods falls into your hands, you can only turn them into a few hundred taels with your ability. This is a tenfold difference, and now I am willing to take out a thousand taels of silver, and ask you heroes to escort my caravan out of Dangyang Mountain, so that you heroes have not taken this trip in vain, and even earn more than ordinary murder and robbery. ”

Liu Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your kid has a good idea, interesting, uncle, I agreed!" The people of the caravan present all glanced at each other, they had been walking this Dangyang Mountain for more than ten years, and it was the first time they had seen this kind of practice, but if they thought about it carefully, they really didn't lose too much.

Although 1,000 taels of silver was a lot, in the past, they needed to hide in Tibet to avoid bandits, but now they are directly escorted out of Dangyang Mountain by these bandits, and the time is much shorter. It wasn't until this moment that everyone seemed to realize that the third prince seemed to have really changed, and the third prince in their impression was simply like two people.

Qin Shuai's play was very successful, his side completely established his prestige in the caravan, and Zhu Gui's side could also spread the word about this matter, so that the other bandits knew the feasibility of their formulation of such rules.

Everyone's happy!
