Chapter 57: No one is idle
Zhu Gui, Du Qian, and Song Wan in front of the Lijia Daokou Hotel silently watched Chao Gai and the others go away, with more or less reluctant looks on their faces.
Just because of the parting words that everyone said before leaving.
Chao Gai's face was full of sorrow, he poured out his heart and lungs, and pulled the three of them to say like this: "Three brothers, Chao is not digging the foot of the wall, in the future, the foolish brother will really come over and do it!" At least follow me, you won't be a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law when you do business, and doing a great career will give you a due future. ”
These words of solicitation sounded very heartwarming, and Wu Yong added next to him that he would die: "Wang Lun's leader Xiao Keduo has heard a lot of people. It is true that he values love and righteousness, but he is indecisive in doing things, has no ambitions, and just wants to wait for amnesty for the world. In a few years, he became a good citizen, and you murderers and arsonists, even if the government spared you, they would settle the score.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been many such cases!
Du Qian, Song Wan's face was somewhat unnatural when he heard this. They have considered and discussed this issue more than once, and they do not want to be good. But now the owner of Dazhai is Wang Lun, and everything needs to be obeyed.
Suddenly, it was difficult to refute when he heard others poke the truth with big truths, and his heart was desolate, but fortunately, Chao Gai said in time that the two brothers valued love and righteousness and changed the topic. How do you know that this is an old routine, and if you can't accept it, you have to plant a seed.
Du Qian and Song Wan, two rectal men, couldn't see the red and white faces, singing and harmonizing. Looking back now, I can only be moved by the generosity and righteousness.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared in the distance that the three of them retracted their gaze.
"Hey, my brother is arrogant, and he is a real hero!" Song Wan let out a long sigh. Chao Gai dared to come to the Liangshan site with more than a dozen people to attend the banquet. On the other hand, the owner of his own big village still finds a reason at the door of his house to say that there is something that cannot be handled. subconsciously compared him with his own village owner, and made a judgment.
Du Qian noticed this sigh and was slightly melancholy, and glanced at him but didn't say anything. Because he obviously felt that Chao Gai had a lot to say. I also feel that my eldest brother is a little timid in this matter.
He is the brother who has followed Wang Lun the longest, and he feels a headache when he thinks of this kind of thing. He tiptoed into the distance and changed the subject scoldingly: "When will the five thousand stone grain that the thief said will arrive?" Won't it fool me and so on? ”
"Yes, that guy dares to pretend to deceive us, we can't be deceived."
"Two village owners, it's better to arrange a boat to wait, and I'll return to report to the village owner first." Zhu Gui did not forget the business and stepped forward to propose at the right time.
"Brother Zhu Gui is right, it's important to report first."
"Let's go, let's go back to the cottage, Brother Zhu Gui, I'll trouble you later."
The proposal to contact Chao Tianwang was Zhu Gui, and it was Zhu Gui who was responsible for sending people to win him over. During the conversation, it was Zhu Gui who spoke the most to fight for the interests of Liang Shan.
Du Qian, no matter how reckless Song Wan is, he knows that Zhu Gui is really capable, and he doesn't dare to underestimate him. When I went back, I planned to jointly mention to Wang Lun that the invitation was the master of the four villages.
Although Zhu Gui had a hunch that his status was going to be improved soon, he was not complacent. is still the same attitude as before, and the two village owners jumped on the boat.
……
Besides, Chao Gai led the team to leave the Lijia crossing, first joined the three guards led by Guo Sheng, who was waiting in a forest, and then went straight to Chaojiazhuang.
This is an ambush he arranged! Although I don't believe that Liang Shan will make any moves, it always hurts to be cautious just in case of preparing in advance.
The mighty horse army was like an army rushing along the avenue. In the distance, I saw a large convoy of hundreds of cattle and horses, loaded with sacks. The direction is the Lijia crossing, which seems to be a grain transportation team.
"So much food will be sent, and it will be sent with blood, and it will be courageous." Chao Gai looked at the vehicles on the road in the distance, silently counting, and sighed indifferently.
"San Lang, quietly send someone to find out where these grain transport teams are coming from. We pay attention to evidence, and it is not good if we get the wrong person. ”
"What my brother said is that it is estimated that eight or nine is not far from ten." Shi Xiu smiled and asked a few clever scouts to disguise themselves and approach the team to ask.
The team of horses slowly marched forward, and about the time of a tea had passed. A few scouts sent out returned to report that the grain delivery team was from Hangang Town.
Chao Gai naturally didn't believe this nonsense, and understood that the other party had either been prepared or had been strictly ordered, and sent several scouts to inquire about the situation. Immediately, he whipped his horse and led the team to return to Chaojiazhuang first.
He thought about waiting for the big-eared thief Han Bolong to come and catch him and kill him. But after thinking about it, forget it, and if you have a plan, it's better to act according to the plan. Compared with the life of a villain, he still prefers the accumulation of gold and silver.
If it is a strongman borrowing food, there is no need to pay attention to tactics when Hula goes down the mountain. But the robbery of good people is a technical job, not by mouth, and must be well prepared.
Shi Xiu sent a dark line to secretly pay attention to when Ma Dahu moved and where he went. The number of people in the accompanying procession is crucial.
Chen Bao took a few personal guards to contact Liangshan. Convey the news of both sides, and the other is to confirm whether the attitude of the Liangshan side is clear. If Wang Lun is unwilling to do it, then he can only implement the second plan.
Yang Lin led the team to transport back the last batch of grain from Wangjiaji Town, and without time to rest, he directly led people to find out where there were bandits entrenched in the surrounding mountains.
Chao Gai is also not idle, and is also preparing things intensively. After getting the news from several scouts, grain was transported out of Songjiazhuang overnight half a month ago. Sure of being correct, of course, there will be no mercy.
He personally wandered around the village, looking for people who matched their height and appearance. He also instructed Yi to dress up, and led the personal guards to exterminate the bandits. The first is to raid the house and loot money and food, and the second is to capture the prisoners and escort them back to the village for later use.
All kinds of things are carried out in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, but few people know about it. After two or three days, the scouts heard the news and sent it back. Chao Gai, Wu Yong took care of each stall, and personally commanded the preparations. The respective teams were in place one after another, waiting for the time to carry out the robbery.
Chaojiazhuang's defense is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the construction of internal buildings is in full swing. Every day, there are still out-of-town traders who send goods to the business......
……
The former Ma Dahu in Xixi Village, Mrs. Ma is the Baozheng of the village, and the second brother is the master in the city. In this small place, he is rampant, with thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of tenants, who are exhausted and clothed, as if he is the emperor of the soil.
However, more than a month ago, he was involved in a robber robbery incident, which provoked Chao Gai, an old enemy of the neighboring village. Not to mention the destruction of wealth and avoiding disasters, the position of Baozheng has also been lost. The key is that Ma Erye, who was on an errand in the county, was also targeted by his colleagues.
During this time, the Ma family can be said to have made matters worse, from the door to the door. It interprets a sentence that the tree is scattered, and the tea is cold before the person leaves.
Mrs. Ma stood in the courtyard and looked at the mansion, looking at the cold and deserted gate, she couldn't express her melancholy, it wasn't like this before!
Thousands of acres of land and tens of thousands of stones of grain were sold at low prices, and they were sold one after another. The main members of the Ma family packed their bags and prepared to relocate. As for those local dealers, if they don't want to follow, they can only go with them.
It is not the old lady's wish to abandon the ancestral house and leave the hometown, but the old enemy has become the climate and can only leave. If you don't leave the other party's control, sooner or later, you will be poisoned by the other party. Even if you don't dare to do harm openly, you will secretly plunder your family wealth.
"Sir, when are we leaving?" A butler in his fifties ran over.
"Old man, we'll move tomorrow." Old lady Ma came back to her senses, was silent for a moment and said, "Go down and send money, and let those who don't want to leave leave at noon tomorrow." Put all the cars on and do whatever I want to do......"
The boss of Mafu answered, and hurried to do it!
"Hey, Chao Gai, Chao Gai, you win." Mrs. Ma glanced at the mansion again, sighed inexplicably and turned to leave, her back a little lonely. I didn't notice that a dark shadow flashed in the corridor not far away.
……
Shuibo Liangshan, these two days are a happy day!
Three batches of grain went up the mountain, adding up to a total of 11,000 stones. It's really piled up, enough for thousands of people on the mountain to consume for a year or two.
The little minion was carrying the sack, his shoulders were very sore, but he laughed like a stupid fork. It is really a steady stream of food delivered to the cottage that makes them feel at ease.
They were beaming, and Wang Lun, Du Qian and other leaders were also a little excited. Yesterday, at Zhu Gui's suggestion, 15,000 pieces of gold and silver arrived, and the yellow gold and white silver shone brightly.
Only Zhu Gui, who became the master of the four villages because of his merits, was not moved, and only pouted in his heart that this was a chicken, and the underground secret room of Brother Chao Gai was called a mountain of gold and silver.
On the golden beach, Wang Lun took several leaders on Liangshan to personally send Han Yong down the mountain.
"Brother Han, why don't you stay for a few more days, so that Xiao Ke can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Wang Lun took Han Yong's hand affectionately, his face full of reluctance. After all, this is a real God of Wealth, and courtesy is a must.
"Yes, Brother Han, wait a few more days, and I'll lead Erlang to kill him and turn him on his back." Du Qian, Song Wan shouted to stay, one more fierce than the other.
"Hey, several leaders, there is something in the family that has to leave." Han Yong's face was full of pain and regret, and when he saw the boat on the shore, he arched his hand: "Domeng a few leaders are hospitalized, and the younger brother will send news, so he will bother the elder brothers." ”
Wang Lun's white face flashed unnaturally, but soon he was full of seriousness: "Brother, you can rest assured, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, Wang dares to guarantee." As long as the time is ripe, Wang and I will let the two leaders of Du and Song lead the team down the mountain to Nachaojiazhuang, and they will definitely vent their evil anger to their brothers. ”
Du Qian, Song Wan and the two reckless men patted their bare chests and assured loudly: "That's it, Brother Han, when I meet that Chao Gai, I will definitely not show mercy." The first strike is strong, kill people and set fire to the village, and rob money and grain. ”
"Brother Han, the ship has arrived, I'll send you." Zhu Gui didn't speak until he was 30 years old, sneering, and took a step forward to pull Han Yong onto the boat.
Du Qian, Song Wan said I'll send you too, and then flew on the boat. With a few small minions swinging oars and rocking, the boat fluttered and quickly left.
"If life is only as it was when I first saw it, I hope Brother Han will not go to Liangshan again." Wang Lun, who was on the golden beach, looked at the few people on the boat, talking and laughing, and couldn't help sighing.
His subjective intention was that he didn't want to mix, but the money and food were tempting and he was persuaded by others. simply don't do anything, and join forces to pit a big-eared thief. Chao Gai's plan made this scholar reflect in his heart, who is the robber?
