Chapter Twenty-Nine: Taking My Brother to Chang'an (Part I)
The cool breeze was blowing, and a glimmer of the waning moon hung in the treetops. Liu Chang knew that the night was very quiet, but tonight was definitely not a calm night. This is a family of businessmen, and the family is very wealthy. The owner may have fled to avoid trouble, and all the valuable belongings that could be taken away were taken away, but there were still many belongings that could not be taken away, and they were left at home, so they had to leave only one steward to take care of the house. There will be a loot tonight, and after the looting, tomorrow the government will raid the house, today it will be for itself, and tomorrow it will be for the official.
Liu Chang is also more confident in his own strength, and after testing his strength the day before yesterday, he made a special determination that his strength is indeed amazing, and hundreds of pounds of heavy objects can be easily moved. Liu Chang knows that this is the strength given to him by his aunt, and it is the welfare of the chosen son, and his back pain must be related to this, the little ball that his aunt gave herself, and besides, her aunt also said that what danger she really encounters, that thing will save her life, and she has never encountered any real danger, so let's test it today.
It was late at night, and a trace of crescent moon did not play a role in lighting at all, and the surroundings were still pitch black. Xiao Budian found that it was in this environment that he could also see through the surrounding environment, and the moonlight was dispensable to him, although it was a little blurry, not as awake as in the daytime, but some obvious scenes were still clear and discerning.
The wine couldn't be drunk, so Liu Chang took off the bracelet and put it in the palm of his hand. Looking at this strange thing, it slowly reduced to a small sphere in the palm of its hand, and it was still like a walnut like the first time I saw it, black and inconspicuous.
Liu Chang held him in his hand, and then threw it into the distance, just like at the beginning, the round thing, as soon as it left him a few steps away, it stopped not moving in the air. Liu Chang walked over, took him back, nibbled on the chicken, sat down, and then threw it out.
Anyway, it's boring, Liu Chang repeats it like this, throw it out, then take it back, and throw it out again...
"It's too much, you call me a bastard, I'll put up with it, is it interesting that you throw it around like this?" Suddenly, a voice came from the ball, and although the tone was hard, there was obvious unhappiness.
"Can you speak?" Although Liu Chang was startled by this sudden voice, he regained his composure in a blink of an eye, looked at the monster floating in front of him, and asked curiously.
"Of course I can speak, what's so strange about being able to speak."
"Then why haven't you spoken before?"
"You didn't let me speak."
"If you don't speak, you won't speak? If you don't speak, how do I know you do? ”
"You didn't let me speak, why should I speak, I'm not stupid."
"Then why are you talking again?"
"You're like a fool, just throwing it over and over like that, do you know how long you've been throwing it? Hmmm~ Yes, an hour! If I don't speak, you won't be thrown until dawn, will you?。。。。。。 You're not really stupid, are you? ”
"Shh~~ Don't speak" Liu Chang lowered his voice, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent motion.
"What are you doing" Bastard also lowered his voice and asked curiously? "What's the fun?"
"Don't talk!" Liu Chang glared at the bastard.
"Okay, if you don't let you say it, you won't say it. You're the boss, and you're in charge. Remember to call me when you're done" The bastard flew back to Liu Chang's wrist and transformed into the shape of a bracelet.
Outside the wall, there was a sound of rustling.
"Coming" Liu Chang confirmed, a black shadow, climbed the tall wall, and then leaned over the wall, the other also climbed up, and then the third, after the three arrived, the first one came up and slid down the thigh of the second person, and the second person held on to the wall with both hands to prevent himself from slipping, while the third person pulled the rope tied to the waist of the first person and slowly lowered it. The one on the ground groped along the wall and headed for the gate.
This made Liu Chang a little confused, the door was locked from the outside, locked outside, they spent a long time, what is this?
Curiosity made Xiao Budian not make any movement, just watched there quietly. At this time, the second man also came down, and the two groped their way to the gate, and one squatted down, and the other stepped on the shoulders of this man, and slowly stood up.
"I see"
Liu Chang suddenly realized that they didn't want to open the door, but to tear down a door. There is a positioning wooden pin on the top of the gate, and as long as the wooden pin is removed, this door panel can be removed, so that neither the door nor the lock can be damaged. When you go, everything can be restored. The next day, when the government came, there was no trace of destruction, even the seals were intact, even if nothing was copied, they would not suspect that the things were stolen, but would only think that there was nothing valuable to be seized here.
After some manipulation, one door was torn down and placed behind the other, and the figure reverently entered. The figure is divided into three parts, one goes to the master's dwelling, one goes to the tower warehouse, and the other goes to the main hall, in an orderly manner, without a little clutter or sound.
After seeing the three groups separate, Liu Chang quietly followed behind the three people in the master's bedroom, holding a latch that he knocked on today. One by one, the three of them finally touched the second floor and entered the room. After entering the house, one of them took out a clay pot from his bosom, took out a pine branch, and there was a faint red color on the pine branch, and took out a clay pot, and the mouth of the clay pot led to a very badly pounded bark, and put the branch on the bark, and blew slowly, and after a while, the house was filled with a foul smell of burnt animal fat, and the fire flickered, and the house was filled with candlelight. Placing the illuminator on a higher level, the three dark workers began to get busy.
The first thing they looked for was copper coins and copper products, and they were lucky, although they did not find gold, and they picked the lock and found a large box of strings of copper coins, which were worth tens of thousands of dollars. The three of them cheered in a low voice, and found batches of linen cloth and some copper products one after another, and they did not start with some of the lower value, and these were enough. The copper coins were too heavy for the three of them to move at all, so they had to adopt ant tactics and take turns to carry these things to the yard first.
The other two roads also have achievements, not money, but bacon, dried meat and other meat products and high-quality polished rice, those coarse rice, they did not move, they have moved away, it is difficult to explain to the yamen, and their manpower is not enough.
More than an hour later, the sound of a car rolling outside the door arrived.
"Hurry up and load the truck, another hour. It's over", a person lowered his voice and commanded, with the help of their firelight, Liu Chang recognized that it was the young man who led the way today.
"There is a talent, a young age, and there is such a skill", Liu Chang, who followed in the dark, couldn't help but admire.
There are four flatbed carts, not ox carts, nor horse-drawn carriages, but rickshaws pulled by people, not that they don't use oxen and horses, but that cows and horses are too luxurious, once they miss, they even have to lose their capital, and also, cattle and horses are registered, and it is easy to be served in a pot.
Hearing the gentleman's arrangement, the people pulling the cart all entered the courtyard.
The experience of the young man is also very sophisticated, and he has definitely done this job many times, and more than a dozen people are in an orderly manner. The box containing the money was also removed and placed on the first cart, followed by copper coins and some of the most valuable copper utensils, the second cart for meat, and the third and fourth carts for polished rice. The first car was filled first, and the young man arranged for them to go first, and then, the second car also left, and the third car also left. When the last one was full, the gate was put back in place, and the last two people climbed out of the wall and left.
Liu Chang carried the latch on his shoulder, and followed from a distance with the footsteps of 258,000 tonghu. Now that the city gate has not been opened, they will definitely not go out of the city, their foothold must be in the city, Liu Chang wants to see where their den is.
"It's really far away" Liu Chang said in his heart, from the end of the Yin period to the present, it is almost an hour and a half, and the pedestrians on the road began to appear, and their group finally came to the northwest corner of Chang'an City, in front of a large mansion.
"It turned out to be here", the lintel of the gate is very old, and there is no door plaque. There should be four doors, and the two stone drums on the right side of the household are still there. The first three cars were already parked in the courtyard, and when the last car also pushed through the gate, the two dilapidated gates "squeaked and squeaked" and closed.
"Bang, bang, bang" Liu Chang came to the door, knocked on the door with a half-cut latch, learned the lesson of the last time, and didn't dare to use force.
"Who are you looking for?" A crack opened in the door, and a head protruded from the crack.
Liu Chang pushed the head that lowered his head and asked himself, the head and the body under the head, smack, took a few steps back, sat on the ground, Liu Chang pushed open the door and walked in, clamped the latch under his armpit, smiled brightly, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone for helping me move." Hard work, hard work. ”
Several people who were sorting out the goods, from the shock when they saw the door open and the fall to the sight of a small child who came in with a smile, were stunned and couldn't figure out what the situation was.
"What's wrong?" A person ran out of the main hall, Liu Chang looked at it, happy, and knew! It was one of the two officials yesterday.
"Ah, big brother, big brother, thank you! I'm really embarrassed to ask my big brother to help me move. ”
The official didn't squeak, and motioned to the two people next to him to look outside the door, if there was anyone else. The two of them ran out of the gate, looked around for a while, and shook their heads at the officials.
Only then did the official look again, standing beside him and trying to raise his head, he smiled brightly at himself: "Who are you and how did you find here?" ”
"Big brother is really busy, we just broke up yesterday and forgot about it today. Nobles forget a lot, and the big brother must be a nobleman. Liu Chang said.
"It's you?!"
"Yes, yes, it's not me" Liu Chang turned around leisurely, walked to the side of the flatbed, and sat on the wheel, "When you move, you should discuss it with me, I thought it was a thief." ”
"You've been following?"
"Hey, life is hard, I was born with a hard life. Yesterday, I borrowed a way, and I was arrested to work for someone to take care of my home. You say, am I born to work hard, take care of the house for others, and people don't care about food. “
"Just you?"
"I'm the only one"
"You didn't tell anyone else?"
"Big brother wants to invite dinner, great, I also have an older brother, I will call him in a moment."
The official didn't care what the chattering little guy said, and made a look behind the little dot. A strong man behind him pulled out a short knife and tiptoed towards Liu Chang, just when the strong man drew a knife and wanted to stab, Liu Chang turned around suddenly, pinched the blade of the short knife that stabbed him with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, and snatched the knife away with a slight force, and at the same time, grabbed the half-cut latch with his right hand, and resisted the big man's body leaning forward: "It's a big person, and he still plays with knives, what to do if he hurts someone, it's really not worry-free." ”
Seeing Xiao Budian snatching the white blade empty-handed like a flowing cloud, several people around him showed surprised expressions, and their contempt was all restricted, that big man is a standard big man, a big man with five big and three thick, more than twice as tall as Xiao Budian, his arms are thicker than his waist, and the knife in his hand was actually taken away by this child-like person, they can't be acting, right? That was the officer's first reaction.
"No matter who you are, don't pretend to be a ghost here, today, even if you are a child, you can't be left behind" The official can't take care of a lot, today's matter must not be leaked out, otherwise, he is not the only one who is unlucky. He pulled out the Pu knife on his waist and approached Liu Chang step by step.
"Wait, wait," Liu Chang clamped the half-cut latch under his right arm again, and stretched out his right hand to stop the officials.
"What else do you have to say, that today you will die." The official pointed at Liu Chang with the tip of his knife and said viciously.
"I just want to ask, why do you talk more than me? Isn't there a saying about what's coming? That's right, called, if you don't agree with each other, you should cut directly, grind and chirp, no profit! ”
"You're looking for death!" The official was also really obedient, and he raised his knife to cut, but before he chopped, he still shouted these three words, maybe it was a habit for many years. After shouting, I felt ashamed, why did I have to shout before I went out? If you don't shout, you'll die!
"Then and that, are you embarrassed?" Liu Chang raised half of the latch against the falling blade, "If you don't shout, you'll die." ”
"I'm going to kill you!" After shouting these words, the official himself was eager to find the corner of the wall and knocked himself to death. His eyes were red, he was so angry that he collapsed, and the knife was out of order, like a village woman chopping vegetables, holding the knife in both hands, straight up and down, one knife, one knife.
"You are really hopeless," Liu Chang held up half of the latch, and he didn't even have to change his posture, "Not only are you not strong, but even a five-year-old kid like me is not an opponent, do you say that you have eaten all the rice in vain in the past few decades; The mind is not even better, a few words are like a madman, why are you still alive? , but also engage in some chicken and dog thieves, no, no, no, should not be called chicken and dog thieves, other people's chicken and dog thieves are all big skills, you should be called stealing chickens and touching dogs.
Stop it, be a good person in the right and bright way, be a person in your duty, do this job, you need intelligence, you, obviously not, one day you are sold, you still help count the money. Liu Chang still spoke in a calm tone, bitter and bitter.
"Ah!! I'm mad at me! The corners of the officer's mouth were bleeding, and his eyes were hideous, "You guys, come here!! Kill him!! ”
The people around him, hearing this order, were about to rush forward, but when Liu Chang's eyes swept away, they all retreated back like shrunken turtles, this is not a child, this is a child-like plague god!
The yacha was tired of chopping, and Pu Dao hung on the ground, bending over and gasping for air. Seeing that everyone else was frightened, not only did they not listen to his order to go forward to besiege and kill, but they retreated farther one by one, not only were they angry for a while, but when they saw a person retreating to their side, they went up and kicked him: "Go up and cut him"
"I, I, I don't have a knife" The thug, looking at his hands, found an excuse.
"Now, take this knife!" The officer handed him the sword.
"Oops, my hand and neck are twisted, and I can't hold the knife anymore." The latter trembled to pick it up, but as soon as his right hand touched the handle, his left hand covered his right wrist with a painful expression.
"Rubbish!" The officials were itching their teeth, and they didn't care about panting, so they went up and kicked them and scolded loudly.
"You, you go" The official saw the big man just now, so he held the back of the knife in his hand and handed him the handle of the knife.
"Oops. Oops, my stomach hurts, I'm going to have diarrhea, oops, no, I have to hurry to the thatched house, otherwise I'll pull it. You resist, I'll come after I pull it, oops, hey~~ Little thing, you wait, when I finish pulling, I'll clean you up, you watch, don't let him run! Dahan looked at it, and let himself go, but he was scared into a cold sweat, how his short knife was won just now, he still hasn't figured it out, and now let him get on again, he doesn't have the guts, this little thing is not a person at all,
