When the convoy set off again, it was already the next morning.
Although everything was as usual, Qian Wubing always felt that something was wrong. A few officials from the county government actually came and interrogated everyone in the inn, but of course they couldn't find them.
The so-called "treasure" lost by the other party has been delayed today, so it can't be delayed tomorrow. During dinner, Liu Fu sealed several yamen each with a few taels of silver. Naturally, the government officials smiled and let it go.
, I guess this case has become an unsolved case in their files.
Qian Wubing felt that something was wrong, that Manager Liu, well, Liu Fu said his name was Manager Liu. Manager Liu clearly saw the private actions of Liu Fu and the government officials, but he just sneered and didn't
It was revealed that the next morning, when the people in the Liu family's motorcade packed their bags and walked out of the inn, Manager Liu and his companions behind him looked at the people in the Liu family's motorcade as if they were looking at dead people.
.
Compared with yesterday, today's weather is much worse. Thick clouds hang above people's heads all the time. There is a feeling of drowsiness between heaven and earth. Not far from Wangjia Town, there is even more rain in the sky.
It started to rain lightly, one autumn rain and one cold one. The raindrops hit people's faces, making them wet, cold, and greasy, which made people really uncomfortable.
Under such a situation, some of the people in the convoy naturally began to curse the guys who delayed their schedule yesterday. If it weren't for them, how could they have suffered like this today? In addition, the tea loaded in the convoy was even more deplorable.
As soon as the rain started, everyone worked hard for a long time to ensure that the goods were not soaked by the rain. By the time they were done, they were almost soaked through, and their resentment became even greater.
"How about we stay here for another day?" Qian Wubing asked Yan Qi in a somewhat inquiring manner. He didn't have any cargo in the car, but it didn't seem to be much fun to follow the convoy here and be soaked in the rain.
"There is no reason for this caravan to go back!" Yan Qi shook his head: "Everyone who goes out is looking for good words. This is unlucky!"
Qian Wubing said, "I took it for granted. There are a lot of things to do in business. You only know what is going on in one industry. If you really make a rash suggestion to Liu Fu, I'm afraid that Liu Fu will
It's really a bit difficult.
"Master, there seems to be something wrong with that little moth in the inn. I always feel like something is going to happen?" After a moment of silence, Yan Qiweng said angrily.
"Oh, you still have real skills. If you don't work for the imperial court in the future, you can make a living by being an outspoken fortune teller!" Qian Wubing said with a smile, and his brother Yan Jiuhua said
Not long ago, he had been sitting in front of the car. At this time, when he heard Qian Wubing joking in the car, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master, you will know just by looking outside the car window. My brother is not just guessing!
"
Reaching out to open the car window, Qian Wubing remained silent. Yan Qi was really out of breath when he spoke. What does it mean to feel like something is going to happen? This is the rhythm of something going to happen.
In the light drizzle, the convoy had slowly stopped and could not go any further. Further forward, there was a group of guys riding horses and wearing bamboo hats. There were about twenty or thirty of these people, standing in silence.
In the middle of the road where the family's convoy was twenty or thirty steps away, looking at the weapons in their hands, Qian Wubing knew that they were definitely not waiting here to ask for directions.
The convoy broke into commotion, and Sha Luo's men who were guarding the convoy rushed forward one after another. The other guys in the convoy also stopped running around in panic under Liu Fu's loud scolding, and even more so under Liu Fu's shouting.
Under Fu's command, the carriages and horses slowly gathered together to form a simple formation. The man with weapons had already drawn out his weapons and hid behind the carriage with an uneasy expression, looking at his house in front of him.
The guards were confronting the knights.
Yan Qi babbled towards the back. When Yan Qi turned around, Manager Liu's motorcade was also behind them, slowly following them. From the looks of it, they were attacking from both front and back.
Regardless of whether the people coming behind were here to help, Liu Fu did not dare to take the risk. After a few shouts, the carriages from behind came around again, and the entire convoy formed a small circle, but Qian Wubing's carriage
It's exactly in the middle of this circle.
The knights in front had been silently watching the movements of the convoy, but no movement was seen. The convoy following behind also stopped twenty or thirty steps away from the Liu family's convoy, neither looking back nor stepping forward.
It seemed that the former helper was just trying to watch the fun.
"In front of me are my friends along the way. I am Sha Luo from Nanzhili. The piers along the way have been bowed a bit. I am afraid I have missed my friends. If there is anything, please sit down and talk about it. I won't call you friends after all.
Walking all the way in vain..."
"Leave the carriage and get out!"
Sara was still talking. The one at the front of the knights, who seemed to be the leader, interrupted him coldly. His voice was hoarse, as if it had been scratched by a knife, which made people uncomfortable to hear.
"Are you the brother of Opening Door Sister? When I passed by here the year before last year, I had the honor to meet Opening Door Sister. Although Sister didn't meet me, a small character, we are old acquaintances. We can discuss everything. If it wasn't Opening Door Sister
Brother, if you are doing business here, aren't you afraid that if the business gets off to a good start, the public will find out about it and get blamed?"
Sharo was still making his final efforts, both tempting and threatening. He could clearly see the posture in front of him. Although he showed a defensive appearance, the opponent had a horse. With his brother's dozen or so knives, this
Dozens of men and horses didn't need to be beaten, just pushed over and crushed them flat.
"My master also served as a county magistrate in Shanxi, and his official reputation has always been good..."
"Why is this person talking so much?" In the carriage not far away, the little lolita Liu Yunniang stretched her head out from behind the matchmaker who was pretending to be a coachman, and looked at the somewhat frustrated Sha in front of her with interest.
Luo.
"He still wants to leave some money to buy the way and get through without talking. Why can't he just start fighting?" Sister Hong smiled slightly. The people standing opposite were all her people. If she didn't send a signal, she would definitely not take action first. As for this signal, what was it?
When the time comes, it depends on what Liu Yunniang behind her wants.
"It's so boring to bully them!" Liu Yunniang curled her lips, "Ten fingers, if they don't leave, then never leave again!"
Sister Hong raised her hand and raised her clenched fist. In the drizzle, thanks to the sharp eyesight of the knight on the horse, she actually saw clearly what her boss meant. Without talking nonsense, she directly stretched out her hand and started
Counting: "Number ten!"
When the knights behind him heard this order, they also began to take action, carrying weapons and building up their horsepower, and they were actually ready to attack at any time.
Seeing the leading thief, his raised fingers were bent down one by one. Liu Fu's face turned pale. This was the first time he had encountered such an unreasonable thief. Now, the opponent was charging towards him, let alone
The goods cannot be saved, and even the lives of these workers, I don’t know how many can be left behind.
But neither he nor Sharo dared to tell the other party to steal the goods and leave on their own. If Sharo softens this time, he will not be able to survive in this industry in the future. And if Liu Fu does this
If all the goods and the valuable gifts in the car were lost, he would not be able to explain to the Liu family and his son who were like family to him.
"You win, the goods are yours, we don't want them any more!" When the leading thief's fingers were reduced to the last one, a voice came out from the car formation. Liu Fu looked back and saw that
When Qian Wubing jumped from the carriage to the wet ground, he couldn't help but look grateful in his eyes.
With Qian Wubing in the spotlight, his responsibility is much smaller. Didn't the young master say that he treats young master Qian just like he does to him? Liu Fu felt slightly at ease, while Sha Luo and several other guards were holding knives in their hands.
The knuckles on the handle were a little blue. Hearing this sentence coming out of the convoy, everyone felt relieved. The feeling of losing strength was like fighting with someone.
Qian Wubing didn't care what they were thinking. He walked out and asked the guys to get out of the way. He led the Yan brothers to the outside of the car formation. Guys in the car formation, look at me.
Looking at you, then at Liu Fu, Liu Fu sighed, followed Qian Wubing and stood out, and they all followed suit.
After a while, the car formation was already empty. Everyone followed Qian Wubing and stood on one side of the road. Even Sharo and others who had been standing in front of the knights gave up.
He confronted the horse thieves and surrounded them.
The knight over there rode his horse and walked slowly over, circling the caravan. When he passed Qian Wubing, he reined in his horse slightly and snorted: "You know your name, you are the caravanner."
The steward?”
"Old man is, old man is!" At this time, Liu Fu did not dare to let Qian Wubing get ahead, and stood up hurriedly.
"Tell your master, if you want to do business, do some serious business. If you still do these things, then don't come to Shanxi again. If you come here once, our brothers will visit you once. Let's see if you, the master of your family, can handle it.
We brothers can still withstand it!"
"Yes, yes, I know, but I don't know the name of Haohan yet! I don't know how to explain it to my master!"
"In Wangjia Town, do you still need to ask whose name it is?" The knight snorted, reined in his horse and walked over. Among the knights behind him, someone walked over with some things, which were scattered on the carriage of the convoy.
After each carriage was taken care of, the people threw the things in their hands, took out the fire sticks from their arms, lit the fire, and threw it on the carriage.
I don’t know what they spilled. In such weather, the carriage was on the verge of burning. In the blink of an eye, the convoy turned into a big fire. These thieves worked so hard, but they didn’t just want to steal the goods, but
It is burned on the spot.
Qian Wubing and Liu Fu looked at each other, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes at the same time.
