Wang Yan's face turned pale, and the waiter told him that his two grandsons had just been taken away.
Wang Yan has a son and a daughter. His son died of illness three years ago, leaving behind two grandsons, one aged three and one five. After his daughter-in-law remarried, the two grandsons were handed over to him to be raised by him.
It can be said that these two grandsons are everything to him, they are his lifeblood, and his legacy depends on these two grandsons to be passed on.
Now that his two grandsons were actually taken away, Wang Yan was struck like a thunderbolt.
He looked at Hu Yun, who was still drinking tea outside, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He quickly walked out of the door and walked directly to the carriage.
Just as he walked to the carriage, he suddenly saw a big man next to him holding a piece of children's clothing, which was his second-grandson's clothing.
He pointed at the clothes and said, trembling all over, "These clothes, these clothes, where is my grandson?"
The big man snorted coldly and said: "How do I know where your grandson is? I picked this up by the river and I'm going to take it back to shine my shoes!"
Wang Yan slapped himself hard twice, walked to the car window and bowed repeatedly, "Master Hu, please let me go, a humble citizen like you! Give me your grandson."
Hu Yun slowly opened the car window and said coldly: "You also know that you are a commoner, but I don't understand. You, an ordinary store manager, actually want to steal King Yong's loot. How many brains do you have?"
, don’t think about your grandson, think about the fate of your entire family!”
Wang Yan burst into tears and said: "You deserve to die! You are so stupid!"
"Don't waste any more time here. The man you sent to report the news has been beheaded. Tomorrow go to the West Lake to collect his body. If you waste any more time, prepare to collect the body of your two grandsons!"
"Little man, go and open the door now!"
Hu Yun handed the box to him, "Follow the rules and tell your boss that His Highness King Yong did not break the rules."
Wang Yan took the box and went back. It was true that the main accounting room was not there, but he had the key to the main accounting room. As long as the procedures were complete, he could open the door.
The iron gates were opened one after another, and the three waterway iron gates behind them were also opened. Generally, money is transported by water, and no one will carry property on the street.
Hu Yun finally saw Zhang Tai's belongings stored here. They were all large wooden boxes filled with three warehouses, and the boxes were all sealed.
Hu Yun has always wondered why Zhang Tai would store his wealth in Lin'an. Did he really think that Baoji Cabinet Shop would not embezzle his customers' property?
They all put it nicely. This is an era where the big fish eats the small fish. Without strength and power, salt lords like Zhang Tai cannot keep their wealth.
Four strong men struggled to lift a large box and put it on a flat-bed wheel cart. The axle of this wheel cart was made of copper rods and could withstand a weight of several hundred kilograms. The big men carefully pushed the big box toward the ship outside the dock.
Send it, you can send it directly to the cabin.
Dozens of warriors moved quickly to transport boxes out of the warehouse. Wang Yan was frightened when he saw it. He never thought that Hu Yun would bring so many people, all of whom were highly skilled soldiers!
He was now more worried about his grandson. He approached Hu Yung and was about to speak. Hu Yun said calmly: "When the fleet leaves Lin'an, your grandson will naturally be returned to you."
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that five ships can't fit it!"
"It doesn't matter, there are five more ships heading this way, they will be there soon."
Wang Yan had hoped that they would be intercepted by the army before, but at this moment he changed his mind and just hoped that they would leave quickly.
Nearly fifty big men loaded the ships as quickly as possible, but there were too many big boxes. They were busy until dark, and then they finally finished moving the belongings in the three vaults. Ten large ships were loaded to the brim, and the outer door of Baoji was closed.
, the iron doors inside were closed one after another, and Wang Yan was finally relieved.
The use of ten large boats to transport property is unique since the establishment of Baoji Cabinet. Although the property is on board, the crisis has not been resolved. There are still two checkpoints at the city gate and outside the city. If you are unlucky, the army in the city will intercept and seize it.
The consequences are serious.
But hiding the property in the city would be even more risky. From the beginning, Hu Yun and Dong An decided to leave the city overnight and transport the property out of the city at all costs.
Fifty big men jumped on the boat, Hu Yun waved his hand, and the fleet set off, sailing towards the Qiantang River a few miles outside the city.
The fleet was traveling along the Cao River. At this time, the drums for closing the city gates were already beating. Although there was no curfew in Lin'an, the city gates had to be closed at night. Before the drums for closing the city gates stopped, ten large ships arrived at the city.
door.
There was a ship in front that was being interrogated and blocked the river. Several soldiers ran over and shouted: "Close the city gate immediately. All the ships behind will stop and will not be released. We will leave the city early tomorrow morning."
Everyone looked at Hu Yun, who said decisively: "Rush out!"
The boatman on the leading boat suddenly punted, and the boat accelerated and rushed straight towards the city gate. 'Boom!' The bow of the boat hit the boat being inspected. The other boat shook violently. Two soldiers were caught off guard and fell into the water from the boat.
.
The other soldiers quickly pulled the two soldiers ashore. Just as they were about to yell, they saw dozens of crossbows pointed at them. The soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. "Go and report to the general to close the floodgates!"
The ships blocking the road in front were pushed out, the river emptied, and large ships sailed out of the water city gate. At this time, the iron gratings and sluices above began to rumble down. The warriors were prepared and used long-handled steel forks to lift them.
After two sluices were closed, large ships sailed out of the city gate one after another. The ships behind them watched helplessly as the fleet left, but no one dared to follow suit.
The fleet had traveled less than three miles, and there was a checkpoint in front of them, specifically to inspect taxes and contraband. Wei Yanzong was also prepared in advance, and planted the flag of Zhang Jun Trading Company on each large ship. They have always done this with no disadvantages.
No checkpoints dare to intercept and conduct inspections.
But there are always exceptions, especially when there are many things you don't want it to happen, it often happens.
There was a new chief officer at the checkpoint today. Of course, he didn't just take office today, but three days ago, but this was the first time he encountered the fleet of Zhang Jun Trading Company.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to let him go without conducting an interrogation, the sentry officer was furious and stepped forward and yelled: "What's going on? Are you going to let me go without doing an interrogation?"
A veteran pulled him aside and whispered: "Third Master, this is Zhang Dushuai's ship. An investigation will cause trouble. We have never conducted an investigation. It has been for many years."
"Zhang Jun?"
"Exactly, you can tell by looking at his flag."
The sentry officer's face sank and he said: "You can get that kind of flag anywhere, how do you know it's not a fake?"
"Third Master, no one dares to impersonate the Zhang family's ships unless they are tired of living."
"No, I have never dealt with any of the Zhang family's fleet, and they have never greeted me. They treat everyone equally. They go up to me for interrogation and ask them to come up with the tax bill. If they can't produce the tax bill, they will seize the ship!"
Reluctantly, seven or eight soldiers carried lanterns and came forward to question them. But as they got closer, they discovered that the big men on the ship were pointing crossbows at them.
The soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. The sentry officer was furious and whipped the soldiers, "Go up and check!"
At this time, Wei Yanzong faintly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and a pursuer was coming. He raised his hand and fired an arrow, which hit the sentry officer's thigh. The sentry officer screamed, took two steps back, and fell on his back.
The big ship rushed directly towards the checkpoint, and 'Crack!' The wooden pole blocking the water was broken. The fleet broke through the checkpoint and sailed towards the Qiantang River two miles away.
From the rear, two thousand cavalry were chasing after them. The fleet forced its way out of the city, causing an uproar in the city. However, the soldiers guarding the city could not explain why. They did not know who had broken through.
Yang Yizhong was furious and personally led two thousand cavalry to pursue him. The two thousand cavalry galloped all the way. After a while, the cavalry caught up with the checkpoint. They saw a chaos at the checkpoint. He asked sternly: "What's going on?"
