Chapter 20 Sky-high compensation
As Long Ya's pace became faster and faster, Tianma Dieyi, who followed closely behind, was still a little confused at first, but after following it, he felt that something was wrong. It seems that there is something important that makes him so anxious to go.
For a while, in her eyes, Long Ya's previous bad image changed in an instant, and she no longer asked, but followed silently, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Time returned to the moment when Longhai went to deliver the goods.
The reason why he didn't want Long Ya to go with the little fat man was because he had a great premonition that this trip would definitely be dangerous.
Since he didn't see the big man in the City Lord's Mansion, he had doubts about this business in his heart, but suspicion is suspicion, he still has to accept this business, and the goods still have to be delivered.
If you don't send it, this matter will definitely reach the ears of the City Lord's Mansion, and what will happen to you, Long Hai doesn't have to think about it.
So after returning to the Long family's shop, Long Hai said that the big man had gone out three days ago, not that he hadn't seen him.
So as soon as Long Ya proposed this method, Long Hai did it without hesitation, because Long Ya is the future of the entire Dragon King Town, and Long Ya will participate in the military academy selection tomorrow, so Long Hai will not let Long Ya go with him anyway.
It can be said that Long Hai went to deliver this trip with the mood of seeing death as home, but when it really happened, it didn't seem to be what Long Hai imagined.
It happened an hour after he left the city.
Speaking of which, Long Ya's method has a good effect, along the way, passing through several horse bandits-infested areas, no horse bandits came to block the road and rob, and even once made Long Hai have an illusion, an illusion that he would complete this business smoothly.
Finally, an hour after leaving the city, less than a quarter of an hour away from the place the buyer said, he was stopped by a group of black-clad masked men.
Even if Long Hai pulled out the tiger skin of the City Lord's Mansion, he still couldn't stop the other party, and was even willing to pay a thousand taels of silver, but the other party never said half a word at all, nor did he do anything to Long Hai.
As for the eight big men invited by Long Hai to act as the faΓ§ade, after knowing that it was a cultivation cultivator who came to rob, they all hugged their heads and fled.
It wasn't until this group of masked men in black snatched away two truckloads of goods without hurting him in the slightest that Long Haifang felt that the matter had exceeded his budget, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do for a while.
With unprecedented loss, powerlessness, and panic, Long Hai returned to Longyan County and returned to Long's shop.
"Uncle Long Hai, why did you lie to me, why did you go alone, didn't I go alone, didn't I belong to Dragon King Town?"
When Long Hai strongly asked himself and the little fat man not to go together, Long Ya had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think clearly for a while, so Long Ya didn't insist.
But on the way to the military academy to sign up, Long Ya faintly thought of something, until Tianma Dieyi kept asking, kept interrupting his thinking, Long Ya figured out the doubts that plagued him, so he accelerated the pace of going back, so he didn't have the time and mood to deal with Tianma Dieyi's entanglement.
It wasn't until he saw Long Hai come back at this moment that Long Ya's hanging heart fell, but the words held in his heart made Long Ya not vomit or be unhappy, so there was a scene where he kept questioning as soon as he saw Long Hai.
Listening to Long Ya's words, Long Hai wanted to argue for himself, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his mouth, so he could only swallow them back.
"Uncle Long Hai, how is it? The silver has been recovered, right?" The little fat man who didn't know why thought that Long Hai had finished delivering the goods and came back with the silver.
But when he saw that Long Hai was empty-handed and his expression was not right, he continued to ask, "Uncle Long Hai, why did you come back empty-handed?"
It's just that before Long Hai, who had a gloomy expression, answered him, the three people who came to Long's shop to place orders this morning came again.
It's just that, compared with the gentle face in the morning, the expressions of the three people who came here at this time have changed greatly, especially the person in the center.
"What about the order I ordered in the morning? Why haven't you sent it to me yet? Do you know how much I've been delayed?"
As soon as he walked into Long's shop, the purple-clothed middle-aged man in the center asked three questions. Suddenly, Long Hai, who returned from loss, looked extremely ugly.
It was also at this time that Long Hai finally figured out that this order was a trap from beginning to end, a trap that he had to drill, a trap that was enough to close Long's shop, and even hurt the vitality of Longwang Town.
But what can I do? I have no choice but to admit this bad thing.
After trying to calm down his agitated mood, Long Hai barely returned to his original state.
"The goods were robbed by robbers halfway, this is the deposit you paid, and now it will be fully refunded to you, as for the rest, I can only say sorry. β
Long Hai spoke very sincerely, and after returning the deposit collected in the morning to the middle-aged man in purple, Long Hai bowed again.
It's just that the other party doesn't seem to show affection, and I saw the middle-aged man in purple throw the silver that Long Hai returned to him to the ground, and shouted coldly: "You think it's enough to repay the deposit and apologize, do you know how much you delayed my lord today?"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man in purple deliberately paused, stared at Long Hai, and said word by word: "You listen to me, my lord lost 10,000 taels of gold because your goods were not delivered, so this loss must be borne by you." β
Although he had already guessed that the other party would definitely use this to extort a sum of money, what Long Hai didn't expect was that it would be such a big sum.
Ten thousand taels of gold, Long Hai has managed Long's shop for so many years, and he has never even said that he has seen so much gold, how can he lose it.
"Why? I don't plan to pay it? Or can't afford it? You have to think clearly, if you don't plan to pay, then I have to take the note between us and report to the official? If you can't afford it, my lord also said that you don't necessarily need to pay it off all at once, but you have to change the name of this shop, and you can pay back the rest in a month. β
Seeing that Long Hai was silent, the middle-aged man in purple knew that the other party was unable to repay at all, so he told the words he had prepared a long time ago.
At this point, everything is clear, the ultimate purpose of this order conspiracy is Long's shop, thinking that the shop that he has been operating for many years is about to change hands, a heart seems to be emptied, and the whole person is uncontrollably pumped up, and then he fell softly into the arms of Long Ya, who came to help.
On the side, Tianma Dieyi, who followed Long Ya silently all the way, was already in chaos in his heart, and he was always hesitating between making a move and not making a move.
At this moment, when she saw Long Ya with a grief-stricken face, the wandering heart suddenly settled, and she felt that she should make a move.
The decision was made, and Tianma Dieyi took a light step and came to Long Ya's side. With an angry face, he stared at the middle-aged man in purple on the opposite side, and said angrily: "Bring me the note, I will give you this ten thousand taels of gold." β
As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets with the words 1,000 taels printed on them from his arms, handed them to the middle-aged man in purple, and said, "Here are 5,000 taels of silver tickets, you take them first, and I will ask someone to get the rest immediately." β
After that, Tianma Dieyi wanted Yang Sheng to shout, she knew that the fart must be nearby. But at this moment, Long Ya, who was holding Long Hai, handed over Long Hai in his arms to the little fat man, and after the two guys in the store, he got up and interrupted the sound that Tianma Dieyi was about to shout.
"You don't have to worry about this, I can solve it myself. As soon as the words changed, Long Ya's eyes fell on the purple-clothed middle-aged man, and said coldly: "Three days later, you will come here to get 10,000 taels of gold, if not, do as you say." β
Long Ya's words made the middle-aged man in purple, who was afraid that Tianma Dieyi would really take out ten thousand taels of gold, settled, and immediately stopped hesitating, and followed Long Ya's words to take it, the goal has been achieved, and he naturally took people away.
"Why? If you don't talk to me well, don't you even want me to help you? Do I have a grudge against you?" She was very unhappy, very unhappy, and there had never been a moment when she was so unhappy, so she wanted to know the reason for her upset, and she wanted to figure out what kind of person this person who made her unhappy again and again was.
