Chapter 585: The Robbers Escape
In the evening, before it was dark at the entrance of the Huanggai Lake Oil Purchasing and Selling Company, a few lanterns were lit up.
The owner of the comptoir stood in front of the door and said something, and a group of comptoir employees were clearing the snow, and the spacious ground had revealed its undertones from the thick snow.
Wu Daode and seven other people, each carrying a basket of soybeans on their shoulders, walked towards Shang.
The owner of the comptoir came up and asked, "What's in the basket?"
Wu Daode replied: Soybeans.
The owner of the comptoir said that they were all placed at the door.
Wu Daode and seven others successively unloaded the baskets from their shoulders and stacked them at the door of the trading house.
The owner of the trading house reached out and grabbed a handful of soybeans to take a closer look, and then put them in the basket. He also grabbed the soybeans in other baskets and examined them. After that, I said with satisfaction that the soybeans were okay, the grains were full, and the dry bath was clean. He instructed the employees of the firm to weigh the soybeans they sent quickly, and to calculate how many catties there were.
Wu Daode asked, what is the purchase price?
The boss of the firm replied, 9 hangs a catty.
Wu Daode said, boss, the quality of the soybeans we collect is not bad, the purchase price is 10 yuan per catty, and now it is sold to you, you 9 yuan a catty, we will not lose? On such a cold day, it is not easy for us to ship from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, boss, you should also think about it!
The boss of the commercial bank is relieved, so let's pay 10 yuan a catty! After the scales are finished, do the math to see how many catties there are.
The employees of the commercial bank weighed 7 baskets of soybeans, and three of them carried a basket of soybeans from the snow to the scale.
The staff of the commercial bank crackled the abacus, and the indicator number of the abacus beads was just 1,000 catties of soybeans.
The owner of the comptoir said that tens of thousands of dollars were paid to settle the bill.
Wu Daode and the two of them each brought a basket and followed the employees of the firm into the firm.
It was also the evening of the same day, and the wind was howling and extremely cold.
Standing on the bank of the Chibi River, the day tour patrol put his hands into a horn barrel and shouted to the Yangtze River with an undercurrent: Hey Sijiang Great God......
Cao Hongyou, who was crying, and the other seven undead suddenly quieted down, and looked up together, only to see a big man with a big head and ringed eyes suddenly appear in the middle of the river, he is the great god of Sijiang.
The great god Sijiang responded, alas, the Hades Day Tour, why don't you go and capture the undead of the dead in the yang world, why do you call me?
The day tour shouted, oh, you don't know yet? Raising his hand and pointing at Cao Hongyou and the other seven undead, he continued, the seven ancestors and grandchildren of the Cao family took a boat from Chibi Wharf to pass through this big river today, and prepared to go ashore on the other side of Wulin, but when the boat reached the center of the river, they were brutally killed by seven masked robbers, and their bodies were all thrown into the river.
Sijiang God said, I really don't know, last night, the Dragon King of the East China Sea invited me to his Dragon Palace for a year-round tea party, and today I spent the New Year in the Dragon Palace at noon, and I didn't come back until the afternoon, so I don't know about it. Please patrol the Hades.
The day tour said that you are responsible for what happened on your river.
Sijiang God pleaded, I can't manage the affairs of the Yang world, and I shouldn't be responsible. Of course, I want to know, why did those seven masked robbers kill those seven members of the family? When did you commit the crime today?
The day tour said that the seven masked robbers killed people in order to rob the ship's full cabin of soybeans, and the crime was committed in the middle of the day.
Sijiang God said, then I will be even less responsible, and I didn't go back at noon.
I just asked you where the seven masked robbers went, of course, you don't know, you can ask your subordinates, let them provide clues, and you must assist the Yangjian government to capture them and avenge the innocent family of seven people who were killed as soon as possible.
Si Jiang said, you wait, I'll ask. Immediately, a fierce man got into the river waves and did not come out for a long time.
At this moment, Wu Daodao, Hu Xiangcai, Qian Wanguan, Wu Liangjin, Kan Nenglai, Xiang Laizao, Cai Wanmin and other 7 people, handed over 1,000 catties of soybeans to the after-sales service, and the Huanggaihu Oil Purchase and Sales Company paid 10,000 hanging money, and they used three empty baskets to fill them separately, which were full.
Wu Daode looked at the three baskets full of money and said, "You two of you carry a basket for every two of you, pass through the Huanggaihu street in front, and gather in the front yard of the Huanggaihu Restaurant.
Everyone willingly did what he wanted. Hu Xiangcai and Qian Wanguan took the lead in grabbing a basket containing money left and right and walking in front; In the back, Wu Liangjin and Kan Nenglai followed behind with a basket containing money, and at the back carried a basket with money, it was Xiang Lai Zao and Cai Wanmin. Wu Daode accompanied him empty-handed, and quickened his pace, walking from the back to the front. Along the way, he looked as triumphant as everyone else.
Wu Daode said, today is a very good job, the brothers have made efforts, the money is thirty-one thirty-one, divided equally.
Hu Xiangcai said, 10,000 hangings of money to divide the 7 of us equally, each of us can get 1400 hangings, then there are 200 hangings left, and each person will be divided into 30 hangings, there is still 10 hangings left, who wants to get 10 hangings less?
The six people walking down the street did not squeak, only heard the ho-ho sound of them stepping on the snow.
Wu Daode smiled, and continued, the 200 hangs will not be divided, and I don't want it, today is the New Year, so I will use this money to order a table of dishes at the Huanggai Lake Hotel, which is not only to reward everyone, but also to celebrate the success of today's business.
Hu Xiangcai was a little anxious, he asked, where to divide the money?
Wu Daode said that there is a row of lanterns in front of the Huanggai Lake Hotel, and we will divide the money with the lights when we get there, okay?
The six people, including Hu Xiangcai, all said in unison, okay!
At this time, the tidal flats of the Yangtze River, shrouded in the night, looked silver and shining because they were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The day tour tour made a gesture in the face of the night tour that came to be on duty, and clearly told the extraordinarily serious case of seven masked strongmen robbing a boatload of soybeans and killing seven members of the Cao family.
Cao Hongyou and the other seven undead knelt down in unison, crying and begging one by one, begging the great god to capture the seven masked strongmen to avenge our Cao family!
The night parade said, "I know, you don't have to kneel, but get up." Looking at Cao Hongyou and the other seven undead who were wet one by one, and some of them were still bleeding, he suddenly felt compassion. He said, "Look for the nearby City God Temple!" Let the city god arrange some dry clothes for you to put on.
The day tour went to the night tour and parted ways.
Suddenly, a slender and curved figure flashed on the tidal flats of the Yangtze River.
Night Parade approached him and shouted, "Lugod, I ask you something."
Lu Shen asked rhetorically, what is the matter?
Night Parade says, do you see seven suspicious people?
And the god of the road said, I did not see it.
The night tour opened his voice and said that today there was a bloody case on the river from Chibi on the Yangtze River to Honghu Wulin, and seven masked men killed people and crossed goods. Raising his finger and pointing at the seven souls who were still wailing in a low voice, they were the seven members of the Cao family who were killed. I hope you will provide clues to the case for the head catcher of the Yamen of the Yang World or the head catcher of the Hades.
The god of the road looked at the seven poor souls carefully, then shook his head and said, I don't know about this. The key is that it is snowing heavily today, and my pavement is covered with a thick layer of white powder, plus today is a small year, so I rarely come out in the court. In the afternoon, when the snow stopped, I came out to take a walk, and I only walked around on the land, and as for the bloody incident on the water, I really didn't know, if you hadn't asked and said it, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened on the river.
