Chapter 152: Forced Buying and Forced Selling
Strong buy, strong sell
The caravan captain thought about it, and still told His Royal Highness King Jing.
No matter what he decides, at least something really happened and he won't be blamed.
The caravan captain chose a trusted man and told him to go back to Liangdu to deliver the letter.
The others continued on their way.
The carriage that Tian Yunyun was sitting in was deliberately arranged in the middle of the convoy.
No one else has anything to say about this treatment.
Seeing the power of the White Wolf King with his own eyes, he subconsciously became a little polite to Tian Yunyun.
The coachman was gone, so Pei Shuyi drove the carriage.
Only Tian Yunyun and her grandson were left in the carriage, and they suddenly became spacious.
The child was frightened, he ate and slept on the road, and the old man was not in good spirits.
When Pei Shuyi was bored, she turned around and chatted with Tian Yunyun.
"Miss Tian, where is your home?"
Tian Yunyun: "Jindu's." ”
Pei Shuyi: "Oh, no wonder you're going to Jindu, why are you in Liangdu?" ”
Tian Yunyun: "My father was in business and got separated. ”
Pei Shuyi answered and didn't ask again.
Tian Yunyun thought to herself, the original body should have run away from home and was betrayed by the nurse and the maid.
But many things have changed in this life.
As soon as she woke up, she was lying in the back of the carriage when a man in black appeared and chased her.
If she was not mistaken, when she fled, there was no one in the carriage, not even luggage.
"It's Douxian ahead." Pei Shuyi suddenly reminded.
The caravans were all on official roads, and they had to pass through each city to get supplies, so sometimes the road was far away.
Tian Yunyun has no impression of Douxian at all, and is very sure that she has never been here in her previous life.
She glanced out of the carriage, and the person walking next to the carriage had a solemn face, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a little nervous.
Tian Yunyun asked curiously: "What is Douxian?" ”
Putting everyone on the verge of the enemy?
Pei Shuyi: "There have been several bandit leaders, and Douxian was originally very poor. ”
Tian Yunyun suddenly thought of a sentence, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.
She thought to herself, the system should be fine!
Lord God is not going to really hack the system to death.
I wish I could notify King Jing in time if something happened.
Tian Yunyun found an opportunity to secretly talk to the caravan captain and tell King Jing about the bandits she encountered on the road.
The caravan captain whispered, "I've already had someone deliver the news." ”
Tian Yunyun nodded and touched her pocket.
If the situation is urgent, take out the powder and hidden weapons.
The caravan successfully entered Douxian.
The group was even more nervous than before.
The captain of the caravan instructed the people: "Leave as soon as you have finished shopping." ”
A man in a hood passed by the caravan, with a long scar on his face, and he was stout and burly.
Everyone in the caravan looked at him vigilantly, and he glanced at the caravan and walked in the opposite direction.
The head of the dart grabbed the saber: "Go to the county office and inform me." ”
The dart master nodded, and quickly ran in the direction of the county office, it seemed that he was very familiar with Douxian.
Tian Yunyun stepped down from the carriage and planned to buy something to eat, but she had finished all the food she brought.
In fact, it's not good to take things out.
Her baggage is only that big in total.
Pei Shuyi jumped down from the carriage, shook off her hair, and stared at the hairpin on Tian Yunyun's head, "It's very good-looking." ”
How can anyone wear expensive jewelry to passers-by, the more low-key the better.
Pei Shuyi put her hand on Tian Yunyun's shoulder, "Be careful of being targeted by others." ”
Tian Yunyun nodded and put the hairpin away, she just let the hairpin be revealed, so that she wouldn't feel strange when she used it.
The two walked to a steamed bun shop, Tian Yunyun wanted to buy steamed buns, Pei Shuyi stopped her, "One bag of steamed buns per person." ”
When it was time to pay, Tian Yunyun finally knew why?
It's like somewhere prices are particularly high.
Pei Shuyi nodded at Tian Yunyun and said secretly.
The caravan stopped in front of a grain store, and the caravan leader paid the money and waited for the grain to be loaded onto the car.
The shop owner counted it and asked people to move out.
Pei Shuyi and Tian Yunyun went to walk around the street, and then came back empty-handed.
The carriage was still parked in front of the shop, a bag of grain was scattered on the ground, and the boss and the caravan captain were talking.
"This little worker is new, and I won't make up for you with dirty food."
The caravan leader stood with his back to him, unable to see the expression on his face clearly: "It's easy to say." ”
Pei Shuyi retracted her gaze and said to Tian Yunyun: "Let's go to the carriage and wait!" ”
After a while, the grandfather and grandson also returned, carrying several oiled paper bags in their hands.
The child smiled and stuffed a candied fruit into the old man's mouth, "Grandpa eats it too." ”
The old man smiled from ear to ear and looked at the child lovingly: "You eat, grandpa has eaten." Eating two pills a day, eating too much toothache. ”
The child nodded, and handed the candied fruit to Pei Shuyi and Tian Yunyun.
The sun was setting in the west, and the distant roofs were gilded with a golden glow.
Pei Shuyi lifted the curtain and glanced outside, with a solemn expression on her side face.
She whispered, "The gates will be closed in a moment." ”
The grandfather and grandson looked out of the carriage worriedly, "Can't get out of the city tonight?" ”
At the door of the grain shop, the people of the caravan clashed like the people of the shop.
Shop owner: "If you don't have any food, you can make up for it with other things." ”
Caravan Captain: "Huh! We bought new grain, and what you paid was old grain or mixed with stones. ”
The shop owner raised his finger and pointed to the sky, wearing a huge emerald and gemstone ring on his index finger: "Love or not, you are really so cheap as new food, and you don't want to inquire about how cheap I am." ”
Caravan Captain: "You're buying and selling." Give us back the money. ”
The shopkeeper clapped his hands, and suddenly all the pedestrians on the street gathered around, all looking at the caravan unkindly.
Caravan Captain: "You want to do it?" Who would dare? ”
The chief dart head heard the movement and rushed over, and all the dart masters showed their weapons in their hands and looked at the passers-by defensively.
The two sides confronted each other.
The shop owner raised his head triumphantly, thinking that it would be better for them not to go out of the city.
Someone has been eyeing their shipment for a long time.
The caravan captain looked at the opponent's posture and knew that it would be troublesome if he dragged it any longer.
He raised his hand and ordered, "Go!" ”
The shop owner shook his sleeves, played with the ring in his hand and said arrogantly: "Slow." So many people were invited, and the cost was settled. ”
The caravan captain turned back: "You! He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The others glared at the shop owner.
"Don't go too far!"
"That's it, if so many of us fight, you may not be able to bargain."
The caravan and the dart master argued angrily with each other.
In the carriage in the distance, the grandfather and grandson hugged each other nervously.
Pei Shuyi only left a slit in the curtain, her right hand had already grasped the handle of the knife, and her eyes were watching the movement on the opposite side without blinking.
Tian Yunyun took out two packets of medicinal powder from her body, handed them to the old man, and didn't say anything but gestured twice.
The old man nodded, and put away the two packets of medicinal powder tremblingly.
The carriage was originally the caravan captain as the coachman, and if he wanted to run at this time, he couldn't run.
Pei Shuyi put her hand to her mouth and signaled not to make a sound.
She dismounted lightly and sat down in the coachman's seat.
The shopkeeper suddenly saw a carriage running away, and it seemed to be with the caravan.
He craned his neck and glanced at it twice, and ordered left and right, "Go and see, don't let anyone fly out of Douxian." ”
The two men on the left and right of the boss heard the command and trotted to chase the carriage.
The dart master tried to stop the two men, but was blocked by passers-by, so he could only watch them run away.
In the carriage, Tian Yunyun reminded in a whisper: "Someone is chasing after you." ”
Pei Shuyi: "Got it, sit down." ”
She grabbed the reins in her hand and flung the whip, and the horse ran faster in pain.
The carriage was running down the street, and in the blink of an eye it had reached the gate of the city.
The two people behind him held their waists, tired enough to choke, and shouted: "Stop, stop them." ”
The guards at the gate heard the cry and hurried to close the gate.
Pei Shuyi secretly screamed bad and sped up.
Just as her carriage was about to leave the city gates.
Suddenly a crowd of people appeared outside the city gate and blocked the city gate.
Seeing that they were about to collide, they had no intention of backing down, Pei Shuyi had to tighten the reins, and the carriage finally stopped.
A scar-faced man stood under the horse, and the horse's hooves would step on him if he took one more step.
Scarface didn't blink his eyes just now, and he was a ruthless character.
Pei Shuyi recognized the man as the person she saw on the street, but he didn't wear a hat.
Scarface's two eyebrows kept shaking, and he said excitedly: "Come down!" ”
The people behind him were yelling and looking insane.
Some wore animal skins, some wore wild animal teeth around their necks, and some carried a large knife the length of a man.
Scarface became impatient and raised his right hand to point forward, and the people behind him rushed to the front to fence the carriage.
couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the car and dragged the grandfather and grandson and Tian Yunyun down.
The old man looked back at Tian Yunyun and saw her shaking his head, the old man retracted his gaze and lowered his head, protecting his grandson in his arms.
When the group of subordinates saw Tian Yunyun, they screamed, and some even whistled.
"Big boss, this girl looks like the painting."
"It's not a god in the sky!"
Scarface shouted: "Shut up the labor, a word will slip through, what the hell are you." ”
The subordinate shrunk his neck, and his belly scolded her for being so good-looking.
Scarface walked up to Tian Yunyun and reached out to touch her chin.
Pei Shuyi shouted: "If you are not afraid of being struck by lightning, move her." ”
Scarface was stunned for a moment, then laughed, withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at Pei Shuyi: "Could it be that the gods in the temple can't move?" Hahaha! ”
The subordinates all laughed, looking at Pei Shuyi as if she was looking at a madman.
Pei Shuyi's two arms were restrained, and she struggled and shouted, "Do you know how the man and woman you sent died?" ”
"It was hacked to death!" The child suddenly spoke up and answered very seriously.
The old man hurriedly covered the child's mouth.
The child took the old man's hand away and opened his eyes wide, "Grandpa, what I said is true, didn't you say that you have to be honest?" ”
His subordinates leaned over to Scarface, "Big boss, what they said can't be true!" I heard that the corpses of those Jiao were found, and there was not a single hair on their heads. It's so dark that you can't even tell the difference between men and women. ”
Scarface: "Shut up!" ”
