"The immortal thinks that the embroidered glazed skirt can be regarded as the most precious treasure in the world?"
"Naturally, it took the whole country to make a rare treasure. Although the auction is 350,000 taels, the manpower and material resources spent on it are definitely not a mere 350,000 taels."
"What the Immortal said is absolutely true, so naturally everyone covets this kind of treasure!"
"What you mean is that you, Qushui Sanjiang, are holding an auction and you want to rob it yourself?"
"Of course not. Qushui Sanjiang has held auctions for more than ten years, and its credibility has been recognized by everyone. Otherwise, there would be no prosperity today!"
"Then, what do you mean by that?"
"The good teaching immortal knows that although the Qushui Sanjiang occupies the land of a county, it cannot be counted on every dollar. Although the thieves and bandits are eliminated, it is difficult to eradicate them! Therefore, the Qushui Sanjiang can only guarantee merchants.
The security of the county and major county towns is beyond our capabilities in other places!"
"I see, there is such a thing as Qushui Sanjiang, so the information about the family of the person who bought the embroidered glazed skirt today must have been in the hands of the bandits long ago!"
"Xian Chang Ming Jian!"
"While allowing the thieves to rob property, and at the same time cleaning up and taking the property back, it is indeed a good deal!"
"So, what do the immortals think?"
Yin Xiuxuan sneered and said: "In this case, such treasures cannot fall into the hands of villains!"
"Just follow the instructions of the Immortal!" Liu Yiyi cupped her hands and said.
"You just have to make arrangements. If I need to take action at that time, I will take action!" Yin Xiuxuan nodded and went into the inner room.
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi's face was filled with joy, and she seemed to have swept away the sorrow of having just told her life story. This shows how much status gorgeous clothes hold for women.
At nightfall, two black shadows flashed out from the Sanjiang Pavilion. The figure in front was light and agile, like a civet cat. The figure in the back was elegant and agile, more like a shadow behind the previous one. It was Liu Yiyi.
Leading the way, Yin Xiuxuan followed behind.
After leaping across the city wall, two black shadows fell outside the county city.
Liu Yiyi took off her mask and said to Yin Xiuxuan: "Chief Immortal, according to my subordinates, the merchant surnamed Yu will slip out of the county tonight, and the largest group of bandits in Qushui County also got the news, and they are at the front
Shiliting is in ambush."
"In this case, you and I will take action after the bandits are dispatched!"
"I will obey the instructions of the Immortal!"
The two black shadows merged into the boundless night in a flash.
As night fell, it was the most tiring time of the day. With a creak, the gate of the county city opened a crack, and dozens of figures filed out of it, but they made no sound at all.
Halfway through the journey, dozens of horses and two carriages came out of the darkness. Several figures entered the carriage, while the rest of the people, apparently as guards, jumped on the horses, stood guard by the carriage, and headed south.
After walking ten miles, I came across a long pavilion, which was built by an official for travelers to rest.
All the people in this group were carriages and horses, and they did not appear to be tired. They would not stop here and would drive their horses quickly.
Suddenly, a loud roar came. The guard headed by the carriage and horse shouted: "No!" He spurred his horse back, ran to the carriage, and shouted: "The guards return to the defense to protect the master's family and property."
!”
The guards agreed and rode back, guarding the carriage with the leader of the guards.
Just when the guards and others were responding, groups of people emerged from the ditches on both sides of the pavilion. Through the moonlight, only about a hundred people could be seen, but there were several times as many as the guards.
Seeing that his side had stood firm, the leader of the guard drove his horse forward and shouted: "Brothers, which road is ahead of us? We are ordinary traders. We are just taking advantage of the road. Please be accommodating to all brothers." As he said this, he took it from his arms.
He took out a bulging leather bag and threw it into the crowd.
The leather bag was smashed to the ground, revealing an apricot. It was obvious that there was a lot of silver in it, at least two to three hundred taels. Even if distributed among nearly a hundred people, it would be enough to cover a month's expenses.
A small man ran out from the crowd, picked up the leather bag and walked back, but the group of people showed no intention of retreating.
After a while, the little man ran back and shouted at the top of his voice: "The leader said that we in Bibo Village are not beggars. If you want to save your life, you should keep the treasure. Otherwise, no wonder we are cruel! The leader also said, give
You have half a stick of incense to think about it."
"Bibo Village! Not good! Why did we encounter these water thieves on the dry road!" The guard leader's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to say something else. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little man finished shouting, he ran towards the back.
, not giving the guard leader a chance to speak at all.
The leader of the guard rode back to the carriage, knocked on the door curtain and said: "Master!"
There was a coughing sound in the carriage, the door curtain opened, and a wealthy middle-aged man walked out and said, "I heard what you just said, what do you think?"
The leader of the guard thought for a while and said, "It seems that the news that we obtained the treasure was leaked, otherwise these water thieves would not have come to the shore to rob it."
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Your analysis is very reasonable. If so, can we defeat each other?"
The guard frowned, shook his head and said: "Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although our guards have skills, if we are alone, we can fight with one against three. But the master and the lady are in the car, and I
I’m afraid it’s not well protected!”
The middle-aged man looked at the smaller carriage behind him, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "If we hand over that thing, what do you think the chances are for these water thieves to let me go? What if?"
If we fight hard, will we suffer any casualties?"
When the guard heard this, his face was startled for a moment, and then he fell silent.
"Hey, in this case, I will hand over my property to them. You have been with me for many years, but I can't let you die for these dead things! Let's bet on the humanity of these thieves!" With that, the master wanted to
Walk back to the carriage to pick up something.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the guard hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the master, and said loudly with determination on his face: "We, the guards, are here to protect the master. If this little obstacle is going to embarrass the master, what use are you waiting for me!
"As he spoke, the leader of the guard shouted excitedly to the guards around him: "Master treats me very well, so why should I be loyal?"
"Loyalty to the death, loyalty to the death!" The surrounding guards were aroused and shouted, shocking the nearly a hundred water thieves in Bibo Village.
Seeing the guards like this, the middle-aged man showed an excited smile and shouted quickly: "Since you have been so loyal to me, I can't repay you. If I can ascend to heaven today, the injured will be supported until death by me, and the deceased will be supported by me."
If someone supports his family, his young son will be treated by his family's descendants!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Yu made a promise, which aroused the already high morale even more bravely. It seemed that they would rush forward even if the water thieves didn't take action.
Ten miles long pavilion, two black shadows fell on it, it was Yin Xiuxuan and Liu Yiyi.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yiyi sighed: "Master Yu is worthy of being the richest man in the country, and his skills in governing his subordinates are profound!"
Yin Xiuxuan didn't answer, just nodded.
"But it won't be easy tonight. If it's within his own country, no matter how far away it is, Master Yu won't have to worry about these thieves. However, it's hard to tell when he enters the Jiang Kingdom!"
