Although the small wooden box is not very big, after a preliminary estimate, considering that what I just looked at is full of banknotes, it must be at least hundreds of thousands of taels, or even nearly 120,000. It is really unexpected, but it is just a
He was just a businessman from Dahua, but he actually had so much extra wealth, which really made Yu Tu envious.
It also made him greedy.
Hundreds of thousands of taels or even more, which I will never be able to earn in my lifetime. But now, with everything in front of me, how many people can tolerate this temptation?
At first, he was still hesitating whether to take action, but now Yu Tu became more confident that he must win.
Even Yu Tu has already thought about it. He will not report the matter of this small box of banknotes. Then when he solves Jin Zhen and others, the wealth will be his own. With so much money,
He doesn't have to work for General Chaicheng. He will take the banknotes and fly away. Where will he be able to become an uncle?
He made up his mind, but did not show any other meaning on his face. Instead, he put the five thousand taels of silver into his arms and said with a smile, "Master Jin is really too polite. Since we
Once we met, it was fate, and we should keep visiting each other in the future."
"Yes, yes, what the general said is absolutely true. We will have to trouble the general in the future. By the way, because we are anxious this time, we will only rest in Chaicheng for one night today, and we will bring some gifts to the general when we come back next time.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Yu Tu agreed, but he was thinking in his heart that the other party would stay here for one night. It seemed that he didn't have much time left for him. The best time to take action was tonight.
After drinking tea, collecting the money, Yu Tu left, full of worries. Just after he left the inn, a person walked out from behind Jin Zhen, it was Zou Zihe, one of Long Ya's team leaders in charge of Qingzhou.
The person in charge is Qingzhou, Chaicheng is part of it, and he naturally understands the situation here. So when he saw Yu Tu leaving in a hurry, he said with determination: "Master Jin,
This person will definitely take action tonight."
"Oh, that's great, but in this case, Captain Zou will have to work hard." Jin Zhen said without any surprise. Do you really think that he deliberately showed off his wealth when he had nothing to do? If it wasn't to lure fish to the bait.
, he would not do it like this.
"Please don't worry, Mr. Jin. I'll leave this matter to my subordinates. But time is tight. For the sake of safety, Mr. Jin, please leave first."
"Okay, you make arrangements." Jin Zhen nodded heavily. He should have finished all the work he had done. The next step is the time of Quan Wu Xing. If he stays, it will not have any effect. On the contrary, it will make the people below unable to let go.
Just use your hands and feet, that's it, it would be better to leave first.
Yu Tu had no idea what was happening behind him. On the way out of the inn, he tightly grasped the five thousand taels of silver in his hand and made his final decision.
When he returned to the governor's house and saw Lu Se again, Yu Tu's story changed completely. He first concealed the five thousand taels of benefits and the small wooden box filled with banknotes.
Then they concealed the fact that Jin Zhen was a member of the Dahua Chamber of Commerce, and only said that he was a stupid young businessman who bought a lot of grain from Dahua and wanted to transport it to the Southland for sale.
"Oh, are there still such people who don't care about death these days?" Lu Se was also a little curious. But it was just a curiosity, and then he became excited. This is more than a hundred carts of food, and it will be his own soon.
"Yes, my subordinate is also very strange. It's just that such an idiot's subordinate should have a bigger chin, hahaha." Yu Tu chuckled, which immediately attracted Lu Se's laughter. "Okay. , then you should be prepared, didn’t you say that they will stay here for one night? Then we will send them to the west tonight.”
"Promise, I understand." Having achieved his goal, Yu Tu happily agreed and went down to prepare.
In October weather, it was already very cold here in Qingzhou at night. When the dark clouds completely covered the sky, no pedestrians were seen on the streets. But soon, rows of officers and soldiers walked out of the originally silent streets. Counting, there are at least five hundred people.
Yu Tu was too excited. In his eyes, Jin Zhen and the others were already dead. Even so, without even basic cover, his men in military uniforms and armors surrounded them towards the inn.
These soldiers were very familiar with the terrain in the city and quickly surrounded the inn. Then they fired hundreds of arrows and rushed into the inn. Soon there were shouts of killing inside. Yu Tu took the lead, After cutting down several caravan guards, he rushed into the master bedroom, where Jin Zhen received himself during the day.
I rushed into the room, but I didn't see anyone. All I saw was a quilt being lifted. It gave the impression that the person had just escaped after getting the news.
Yu Tu didn't have much thought about Jin Zhen's life. He was more interested in the small wooden box filled with banknotes. Fortunately, after searching for it, he actually found it under the bed. , opened it and saw that there were indeed a lot of banknotes lying inside.
The excited Yu Tu quickly wrapped the small wooden box with something, then left the room and shouted loudly to the other men he brought, "The businessman named Jin has escaped. I will chase him. You guys should protect the food here. Send it to the governor's house after dawn."
After giving the last order of his life, Yu Tu took four close soldiers and confidants out of the inn, and quickly ran in the other direction under the cover of darkness.
Yu Tu was naturally ready to escape. He led his people quickly to the west city gate, where one of his men was responsible for guarding the city. The general arrived and said that the suspect had probably escaped from the city from here. Others Naturally, no one dared to stop the Daqian soldiers, and they allowed the five of them to leave the city.
After leaving Chaicheng, Yu Tu felt that the air was so fresh. He led the people to run for a while. After about ten miles, they found a small patch of dense forest and hid. After working for half a night, they were indeed a little tired. , they wanted to have a good sleep and wait until dawn before continuing to run away.
It soon dawned again, and Yu Tu and others woke up, but before they could decide where to go, more than a dozen black-clad knife-wielding killers appeared around them. The leader was Zou Zihe. I followed them all night. It took a lot of effort when I left the city, but I finally made it over. I met up with Long Ya outside the city and knew where the target was hiding. I rushed here just in time for dawn. .Seeing the killers appearing, there were quite a lot of them. Yu Tu’s expression naturally changed, and he reached for his waist and said, “Brothers, fight with them.”
Yu Tu wanted to fight, but Long Ya would not give them such a chance. One by one, Shen's small crossbows had been taken out, and then there was a burst of rapid fire, and soon the five people who were targeted were They were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground like hedgehogs.
After killing the target person, Zou Zihe took the initiative to step forward and found the small wooden box that was held in Yu Tu's arms. He found that not only was his previous silver tael here, but there were also more than 10,000 taels, which must have been It must be all Yu Tu’s remaining wealth over the years.
Not even after retrieving the banknotes, Zou Zihe ordered everyone to strip off the clothes, armor and weapons of the five people. This was the physical evidence of the Daqian army's attack on the Dahua caravan, and it was indispensable.
After grabbing everything they could, a dozen or so people dug a deep pit and buried the bodies of the five people. At this point, as far as the outside world was concerned, there were no people alive or dead bodies in Yu Tu.
In Chaicheng, the soldiers below came to report that everything went well. A total of one hundred and twenty carriages were captured. The people in the caravan were also dead and could not escape. The only thing that is puzzling is that That is, their general Yu Tu went to hunt down the merchant leader and has not returned yet.
After Lu Se got the food, he no longer cared about where Yu Tu went. He ordered people to leave sixty carriages of food for him, and sent the other half to his uncle in the upper capital, and then happily went to the wing. There is a girl there who was just found in the city yesterday and needs to be comforted by herself.
...
Lancheng, the first administrative place of Suzhou.
Jin Zhen quickly returned here, and with him came Zou Zihe and others as well as five sets of intact Daqian Army armors.
"Haha, okay, things are going beautifully. You have all worked hard, go down and have a good rest." Zeng Tong personally received them in Zhizhou Mansion, and then said with an excited face.
Zeng Tong came to Lancheng from Taiyuan Prefecture to make preparations for the upcoming battle. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first.
When it comes to Dahua's first battle after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there must be no problem with all preparations.
The preparations were carried out in an orderly manner. Now that we had the handle sent by Jin Zhen, we began to take the next step, which was to launch an army to investigate the crime.
He took out the secret letter he had written a long time ago, called a confidant and handed it over to him, along with five sets of battle armor of the Da Gan Army. Then he watched the group go straight to Taiyuan Mansion.
There is still chaos in the south, but it is unusually quiet in the north for a while.
Regardless of whether it is the Dahua Army, the Daqian Army or the Xuanjia Army, they have all become extremely restrained, and everyone is deliberately reducing friction at the border between the two sides.
But all this tranquility changed because of the appearance of a team of envoys in Daliang City.
Meng Ziqing, an outstanding student in the political science class of Longyuan, was taught by Tang Ao, the Emperor of China, and claimed to be a student of the emperor. After studying for a long time and training in some positions, this time he finally ushered in his first external experience. The action was to raise an army to Emperor Qianwen to question him.
