Chao Gai has been in the rivers and lakes since he was young, as a well-known private businessman on Jingdong Road. Involved in the sale of salt, iron, etc., there are many small minions who depend on him to eat. Since more than 10 days ago, money and food have been distributed and teams in various localities have been disbanded.

Most people from poor backgrounds are naturally grateful to Dade.

There are naturally people who are willing to follow Chao Tianwang to find another way.

Of course, there are also many men who add blood to the knife edge and do not want to be good. Those who have access to it take the money from disbandment and distribution to do it themselves.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it!

……

In mid-May, the sun is scorching and the weather is hot.

Somewhere in the nameless wilderness of Yunzhou, a group of people returned from the north with dozens of Taiping carts full of sacks. On the surface, it contains grain, but in fact it hides refined salt. There are thousands of catties, and selling them is a lot of income.

Whether it is the cart or the guards, they are all carrying a knife, vigilant against the abnormal. It is said that there have been many strongmen in this area recently, not only robbing money but also killing people. There was nothing abnormal after walking more than ten miles forward, and people's hearts were a little relieved.

The two big men who walked in the front to open the way urged the team to speed up. A black-faced man in his twenties looked at the team and sighed gloomily: "Hey, Brother Song, I don't know what the King of Heaven thinks, so he doesn't even do private business." ”

Another burly man with a slightly yellow beard snorted coldly: "It's not because of Song Jiang's house, Brother Chao sensed the crisis, so he withdrew as soon as possible." It's okay for him to wash his hands, and our brothers will pull the team to do it by themselves. ”

"That is, when the team is large, they will sell cattle and horses to Chaozhuang. I heard that the king of heaven has a lot of momentum there, and the magistrate of Yuncheng County also depends on him. ”

……

The two men chatted while walking, and the team marched all the way, and there was no accident. However, just as he was about to arrive at Sujo, he was suddenly attacked.

The bowstring swished and a large number of arrows flew out of the forest.

The team was caught off guard, and many people were shot, and the screams were endless.

The man who called Brother Song saw with his own eyes that the companion who was talking was hit by an arrow in the cheek and fell to the ground screaming. Seeing that his eyes were split, he didn't have time to think about rolling on the ground, and even so, he had an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

"Brothers, set fire to it and run back." This big man immediately abandoned the goods, endured the severe pain, took out the fire fold and threw it on the Taiping car, the raging fire instantly swallowed the car, and then took the lead to run back.

The others followed suit, and took out the things that started the fire and threw them on the car. One by one, the Taiping cars were burned, and as long as they could, they scattered and fled.

It is not a small crime for a private businessman to be caught, and it is another matter if there is no evidence. Most of the food on the cart is mixed with things that ignite and are easy to ignite.

Under the cover of the billowing smoke, the crowd ran as fast as they could.

Three or two hundred people poured out of the forest, and it was too late to catch up. Except for those who were shot on the spot, there were no live mouths, no goods, only cursing.

However, what this group of people didn't know was that Brother Song didn't run far and hid in the stinky ditch, and saw the scene behind him as real and real.

It's not over yet, and it's no accident.

In addition, there are two private merchant teams with goods that are attacked by others, and all of them suffer heavy losses, and the similarities are all the solitary teams of Chaogai's old department.

Sucheng, Zhongdu, Dong'e, Shouzhang and other private business outlets in the county were all destroyed by a group of people of unknown origin, and then many government officials arrested people.

Hundreds of people were arrested.

The yard covered by the private businessman Chao was smashed! The news spread and caused quite a stir. The hawkers are all in danger, and the heroes who mingle in the rivers and lakes have different guesses. Who is this group of people who have such courage?

……

"When a tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a biao. The little beast is really looking for death! "In Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Chao Gai received a message from the old department of Yunzhou and practiced martial arts in the martial arts field. When he learned about the situation over there, he was furious and scolded.

Although the private business teams in various places said that they had been disbanded, it had only been a long time since the incense was still there. And the people outside don't know it, and still think of these as their own team. Now he was attacked by unknown people and arrested by the government. Even if there is not much loss, it is like King Chao being slapped in the face.

"Brother, the younger brother led a team of people to kill and seek justice." Shi Xiu also saw the message sent, remembered the past and gritted his teeth and asked for his life.

As soon as Saburo took the lead, Ruan Thiong Sanxiong and Li Kui shouted to go.

"Brother, my brother is also willing to go with San Lang."

"I'll go too, and let that guy eat grandpa's two axes."

"Brother, the younger brother has just arrived, let me teach this group of thieves and birds a lesson." Su Ding, who had just joined Chao Mansion, saw that everyone was asking for battle, and naturally he was not far behind.

Chao Gai looked at these highly motivated brothers, and his heart was full of relief. I just couldn't cry or laugh when I saw Li Kui's big black head shaking. I really want to say buddy, you still have a life lawsuit on you, isn't showing up to add to the chaos?

However, he did not suppress this enthusiasm, but comforted everyone with kind words: "Brothers, brothers, don't be anxious. This revenge must be avenged. But not now, private trading is against the law. ”

"Brother, is it just a dumb loss?" Shi Xiu was a little unwilling. In his mind, Chao Fu gave up all private business because of Zhujiazhuang, and it would be unreasonable not to express his position in this situation at the moment.

"How can you suffer?" Chao Gai's eyes flashed with cold light, although he was smiling, he gritted his teeth: "Zhu Jia Saburo likes to crack down on private businessmen, so let him fight." We can promote it for him and make a good name for him in the government. ”

Shi Xiu is a fan of the authorities, and like the other bigwigs, he didn't understand the meaning of the words. Only Wu shook the goose feather fan with confidence. How could he not understand that his brother wanted to capture him and provoke a group of attackers?

"Gamlight, this matter is left to you to operate, how miserable it is. In addition, it took more money to operate the arrested people, and the incense did not stop. ”

"Yes, the little brother must have done it beautifully." Wu nodded in response with a smile.

Chao Gai felt that it was very important to have strategists around him, otherwise they would be as stupid as Li Kui. Before doing something, you have to analyze and explain it to know how to do it. It seems that in the future, not only will you make friends with good men, but you will also be able to meet literati and.

At this time, Chao Fu ran into the inner courtyard from the outside to report: "Master, Teacher Chao sent someone to report, and the Zhujiazhuang convoy was found three miles outside the village. ”

"His grandmother's, while he was talking, he came, and I went to cut them up and dry." Li Kui reacted the most, jumped as high as he wanted, and turned his head around and shouted loudly.

"Hey, Iron Bull, don't be rude." Chao Gai sank his face, grabbed Tie Niu and reprimanded: "Collect your temperament, don't shout and kill at every turn." We must be reasonable in our work, and we must not mess around. ”

"Okay, okay......" Li Kui hung his head and responded again and again.

"San Lang, most of them are Luan Tingyu Luan's teachers, let's go to meet old acquaintances." Chao Gai patted Li Kui on the shoulder and beckoned everyone to go together. Only Li Kui, who wanted to join in the fun with the past, was stopped in place.

……

Chao Gai guessed right, the Zhujiazhuang team outside Dongxi Village was led by Luan Tingyu. The teacher kept his word, and as soon as he returned to Zhuangshang, he brought people to Yuncheng and spent money to get the arrested Zhuang passenger transport.

At present, Dongxi Village is sending 3,000 taels of silver as agreed.

Before entering the village, Luan Tingyu, who was strong in martial arts, noticed that his group was being targeted. As we get closer to Dongxi Village, this feeling becomes more and more intense.

This made him wonder, could there be a thief?

But this idea changed as soon as he arrived in the village. Because he saw a lot of men in small vests training, shouting loud slogans. They were tall and steady, exuding an iron-blooded aura.

This is an elite division!

Luan Tingyu was once fortunate to see the demeanor of the forbidden army, but it was far inferior to what he was in front of. Even if the Hebei border army came, it would be nothing more than that. With a stomach full of doubts, he came to Chao Mansion, which was located at the head of the village.

From a distance, I saw Chao Gai waiting with a group of people.

"Master Chao, Luan is late." Luan Tingyu hurriedly turned over and dismounted and walked over.

"Hehehe, Teacher Luan, welcome." Chao Gai led Wu Yong, Shi Xiu and others forward. First of all, they made an introduction to the two sides and greeted each other.

"Master Chao, the bad guys are in trouble, and three thousand taels of silver will be delivered." Luan Tingyu clapped his palms, and immediately someone came to open them with three boxes, and the neatly placed silver ingots were shining in the sun, so it was not tempting.

Chao Gai didn't even look at the money, and stepped forward to pull Luan Tingyu and didn't let go: "Hey, Teacher Luan, Chao has been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I have looked forward to you." ”

"Teacher, if you don't get drunk today, you won't go home." Shi Xiu and Luan Tingyu knew each other, and understood that his brother was eager to seek talent, so he also stepped forward to hold Luan Tingyu.

Luan Tingyu was very moved when he saw everyone receiving him so warmly. Pulled by Chao Gai, everyone flocked into Zhuangzi, and the entourage was received by their own people.

Entering the living room, everyone sat down and someone served tea. Chao Gai was just about to talk to Luan Tingyu when there was a shouting outside.

"Where's the guy with the surname Luan?" Li Kui appeared at the door of the living room with two plate axes, because someone ordered the lawsuit to probe his brain outside.

The big black man broke through the barrier and rushed in, glanced around and glared at Luan Tingyu with three strands of long hair: "The surname is Luan, look at what kind of apprentice you teach." The good deeds that my brother did did ruined my brother's business. ”

"Why did this guy come here?" Chao Gai's face twitched, this troublemaker. The fate has changed, but it can't change the nature in the trajectory, and now it is a scourge to Lao Tzu.

"Iron Bull, don't be rude!" Wu Yong, Shi Xiu got up and scolded. Ruan Thiong Sanxiong and Su Dinh hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reckless man and snatched two board axes.

"Master Chao, what is this?" Luan Tingyu's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at Chao Gai suspiciously.

"This black guy has drunk too much, talking nonsense, and pulling it down." Chao Gai snorted. Outside the door, several big men rushed in, hugged Li Kui, and dragged him out.

"I'm not drunk, that Zhu Biao is the most unpopular thing, Zhu Biao is a bad thing, Zhu family is going back on his word. Those dirty things he did in Lingzhou ruined my brother's business......"

Li Kui was twisted by seven or eight big men, hugged his waist and dragged away from the living room, but this black guy still stared at Luan Tingyu with a pair of bull's eyes, seven disagreed and eight were not angry, and his legs kicked and his mouth kept spitting.
