Chapter 1903 - Compensation for silver taels
After arriving in the study, Chi Zhongtian said: "Something happened."
"What happened?"
"The batch of silver you asked me to help you transport is gone." Chi Zhongtian said.
"No more?"
"right!"
"What's going on!" Hu Chuanhai suddenly stood up.
"My men were robbed, and more than forty bodyguards were all dead, but your men are missing."
"Wait!" Hu Chuanhai suddenly waved his hand, and then said: "All your people are dead, but mine are missing?"
"Exactly."
"You mean, my people killed your people and then took away the escort money?" Hu Chuanhai asked with wide eyes.
Chi Zhongtian shook his head and said: "That's impossible. Your men don't have that ability. I think it was one of my enemies who did it, but why are your men just fine?"
"The ones I sent were some servants from my mansion and some people hired temporarily. Except for those servants who can barely do a few fists and kicks, the rest of them don't know any martial arts at all."
"Big brother, don't worry too much, I think this matter is not for you." Chi Zhongtian comforted.
"I hope not, but you were a little careless."
"Well, I am indeed a little careless about this matter, but don't worry, just give me some time and I will find out the matter!"
"Brother, I always feel at ease when you do things, but you really have to pay more attention to this matter."
"Don't worry, I know. I came to you today just to ask you to say hello to the Yamen of Shezhou City, saying that the goods of our merchants in this city have been robbed, and asking them to help investigate."
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
"Also, eight million taels of silver is not a small amount. I think I won't be able to get it back within a few days. I have to find a way to make up for it first, otherwise you will be in trouble."
"Yes, but I don't have much else to do right now. It's not a small amount after all."
"Well, I can take out some now, and I'll ask Mr. Cao from the Xiaoshan Escort Bureau to come up with some and make up for the money first."
When Hu Chuanhai heard this, he immediately said: "This is not good, let you do it, I..."
"That's right. After all, the money was lost in my hands. According to the rules, I have to compensate you ten times, haha."
"You're kidding me again."
The two chatted for a while, and then Hu Chuanhai left immediately.
...
Luzhou City, Guan Family.
The Guan family is no longer in the city, but has moved outside the city, bought a large piece of land, and built some houses. As for the Guan family's old house in the city, it has been turned into a bodyguard agency.
Today, there are four to five hundred disciples of the Guan family, and in the past few years, Guan Ziyu and Wu Yang have been training these disciples intensively, so their skills are now very good.
"Master, the flying pigeon in Shezhou City delivers the message."
Guan Ziyu made an appointment with the newly appointed magistrate of Luzhou City to have a drink today. Just as he was about to go out, Tong Fei came in a hurry.
Tong Fei is now the general manager of the Guan family, and Guan Ziyu has left almost all matters in the family to him.
"Oh? Bring it quickly."
"yes!"
Guan Ziyu immediately opened it and read it carefully. After reading it, his expression felt a little wrong.
"Have there been any changes in Rongzhou City recently?"
"I haven't heard anything unusual."
"Where is Binlin Villa?"
"I haven't heard of it either."
"In this case, you immediately take a few people with you to inquire and see if Gu Aoyun and Lu Zuiliu are at Binlin Villa and whether they have been there all the time. In addition, also check whether a large number of Binlin Villa disciples have left Rongzhou.
city."
"yes!"
Tong Fei turned around and was about to leave, then came back and asked, "Master, do you want to inform Brother Wu and the others?"
"Well, go and tell him that the escorts in the escort agency must be extra careful these days and not do any long-distance business for the time being."
"What about the ones that have already been picked up?"
"If you can withdraw, then withdraw. If you can't withdraw, just come and tell me."
"yes!"
The loss of eight million taels of silver transported by the Zhongtian Escort Bureau caused another disturbance in the martial arts world that had been peaceful for a long time.
...
"Leader, we have found out that the woman lives in Wanmulin outside Shezhou City."
"Wan Mulin, um, how many people are guarding it?"
"Leader, that place is too evil. I asked around, and people nearby never dare to go near it. They said that once you enter that place, you can't get out."
"There is no need to rush this matter. There are many doubts about that woman. Since she dares to live alone in this deep mountain and forest, I am afraid she has something to rely on."
"Don't worry, leader, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter well."
"Has all the money been placed?"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."
"Okay, Chi Zhongtian, Chi Zhongtian, let you live a stable life for a few years, huh, it's time to come to an end."
...
A few days later, nothing was found about the missing silver.
Chi Zhongtian sent out many people to investigate, and the Yamen also sent out many detectives, but nothing could be found.
Hu Chuanhai's men seemed to have disappeared from the world, with no one alive or dead bodies.
There is not even a shadow of silver taels.
Chi Zhongtian was a little anxious.
In order to make up for his mistake, he had already taken out five million taels of silver himself, and asked Cao Gang from the Xiaoshan Escort Bureau to take some more. Only then did he collect eight million taels and return it to Hu Chuanhai.
But although Chi Zhongtian is not short of money now, five million taels is enough for him to drink a pot.
More importantly, this breath cannot be swallowed.
The dignified Zhongtian Escort Agency was actually robbed, and the murderer has not yet been found.
When the news spreads, where is Chi Zhongtian’s face?
At noon that day, he was preparing to go with Ye Luo and Qin Shang to see the escort carriages and the bodies of the escorts. As soon as he reached the gate of the inner village, he saw Uncle Liu walking towards it.
Uncle Liu is now the general manager of the foreign village. Because he is getting older, Chi Zhongtian asked him to go home and rest many times. He agreed to give him some silver coins on time every month, but Uncle Liu refused, saying that his health was not bad.
He was still tough, but out of desperation, Chi Zhongtian asked him to take care of the affairs of the outer village. In addition to taking care of the tourists coming and going every day, he had to take care of everything the handymen were eating, drinking and doing.
Fortunately, although Uncle Liu is old, he is in good health, and Chi Zhongtian is happy to let him take care of it, so he can rest assured.
"The owner of the village!"
"Hey, Uncle Liu, didn't I tell you earlier? You don't need to salute me. At your age, you have to take care of yourself. Your knees won't hurt." Chi Zhongtian quickly helped Uncle Liu up.
"That won't work, I'm an old man here, I have to abide by the rules." Uncle Liu said with a smile.
