Chapter 54: Nesting and Bait

In the end, Lu Zhi agreed to send a letter to Penglai to see if he could invite this great Confucian to come out of the mountain.

When pouring tea and drinking slowly, it is time to unitary.

The winter days are short and the twilight is getting late, Huang Fubiao said goodbye and prepared to go to the army to select a boxer and archery master for the academy, and by the way, deploy a secret operation.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the flow of people on the street is surging, bringing the old and the young, purchasing New Year's goods, the snow on the stone road has been trampled, and the New Year's flavor has begun to brew. It is not known how long this prosperity can last, but this prosperity looks beautiful like a poppy, but it consumes the efforts of this empire, intoxicates the eyes of those in power, and withers the backbone of an entire nation. The sunset was warm, but Huang Fubiao felt a little chill, because he knew that this bright world on the surface hid barrenness, hardship, sickness, and hardship, all of which were the unwillingness and resentment of the people at the bottom.

Under the military camp, the handsome tent was bright overnight.

Huangfu Biao only recruited a hundred scouts and generals from various departments, but the discussion did not end until dawn, including the sphere of influence of the bandits in the vicinity, the number of men, and the route of the march, all of which were carefully considered.

In the end, the candidate who was selected to swallow this batch of military horses was not a bandit, but a small leader of the Salt Gang, named Sun Ergou, who was the godson of Zhu Changhe of the Hedong Salt Gang. This person is shrewd but also bold, colluding with water bandits, befriending Zhao Yin, Zhongtong Zhushang, the means are very spicy, black and white eat, people give the nickname Smiling Pixiu, which means that there is a knife hidden in the smile, only eat and not pull, especially suitable for swallowing this batch of war horses. But to put this cunning beast in the cage, you can't just bait it, you still need to put the news of the horses in the green forest, and wait for the fish to take the bait, and you will be able to achieve a lot of success depending on how quickly the news spreads.

The people who hang the bait are naturally Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, who are born in the green forest, well-informed, and familiar with the dark market, which is the most suitable. Dressed up in disguise, the two of them became two horse thieves, followed by more than a dozen good players with excellent ideas, like flying mountain thieves across Taihang Mountain.

Behind the gambling stall in Luoyang, there is a stall for black trading, the seller puts the price, the buyer counteroffers, all by the stall handover, the buyer and the seller never meet, and after the success of the transaction amount of 15% as a reward. Zhou Liao and the others came here to take bait.

"How much do you bid for this shipment?"

There is a small window open at the stall, and the person behind the window does not talk nonsense, so he asks directly, and a seller enters a room, and there are people queuing up behind, so he naturally doesn't want to procrastinate.

"Millions!"

"What?!"

"Millions!"

After listening to this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and handed out a piece of paper and a tube of wolf hair, signaling to write down what was sold. But Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were illiterate, their old faces turned red, and they lowered their heads and drew a picture and handed it back.

"You two can't fool me?!"

Because the guy inside opened the paper and saw that there were no words, so he drew a horse. In fact, it looks more like a donkey, because the brush is too thick, Zhou Cang's hands are clumsy, and the horse's ears are a little long, which looks like donkey ears, but fortunately, the horse's tail is relatively wide, so that this guy recognized the horse again in a quick glance. Are you made of gold? Dare to ask for a million gold! A horse on the market is 100 gold, do you have 10,000 horses? This galloping horse is still used to trade in the dark market? It is estimated that the army came to snatch it.

"I put a sample for you outside the door, and there are also 3,000 horses, people who know how to go and see the goods, and I will come back in three days!"

Zhou Cang was not verbose, and said that he and Liao Hua walked away, ignoring the call of this guy. There were a few guards at the door blocking the way, and a few moves were put down by the two of them, and when the people came to see it, their arms and chin were down, and they couldn't move, but fortunately they didn't hurt their lives. Everyone chased out, the perpetrator had disappeared, and a big horse was tied under the big tree at the door.
