Bringing the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 105 - Tiger Leopard Bodyguard Bureau
Watching the merchant leave quickly, Hu Hu stroked his beard with satisfaction, took out the golden ball, rolled it up in his palm, and walked to the back hall humming a tune.
After retreating, Hu Hu closed the door and took out a hardcover booklet from a brocade box. He took the booklet to the desk and sat down, polishing and writing. Hu Hu opened the booklet and saw that the booklet was densely filled with small regular script.
.
As Hu Hu flipped through the booklet, the contents recorded on each page made people's scalp numb.
"In the summer of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, I robbed the Weiwei Escort Bureau and obtained thirty boxes of goods. I sold them for 3,300 taels of silver, and we received 1,800 taels."
"In the summer of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, I robbed a grain merchant on the road and obtained twenty carts of grain. I sold the goods for two thousand taels of silver, and we received one thousand taels of silver."
"In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, he robbed the family of a wealthy merchant and obtained fifty thousand taels of gold and silver. Twenty of his female relatives sold them for five thousand taels, totaling fifty-five thousand taels. We received twenty-three thousand taels."
...
It turns out that this is the real reason why the Hubao Escort Agency is so rich. Hu Hu is the eldest brother of Hu Bao, the leader of Hutou Village, and the real business of the Hubao Escort Agency is to plunder the green forests of Lingzhou.
Since the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, these brothers have committed many serious crimes in Lingzhou. However, although Hu Hu and Hu Bao are twins from the same mother, Hu Hu's own younger brother is much smarter.
Knowing that being a greenwood robber requires not only brute strength, but also brains, he started a bodyguard business in Lingzhou City. In addition to detecting news, he could also learn about the trends in the city.
In addition, Hu Hu knew how to be tactful and managed the government from top to bottom. Over the years, the government had carried out many sieges and suppressions on Lingzhou Green Forest, but Hutou Village had escaped. Over the years, the two brothers relied on these "bloody silver" to survive.
Extremely comfortable.
However, with the arrival of Shen Yulou, the rules of Lingzhou Green Forest were re-established, and the income of the Hu brothers was greatly reduced. It is not that Hu Hu never thought of hiring a killer to kill Shen Yulou, but Hu Bao tried his best to dissuade him and said frankly that Shen Yulou
The martial arts of controlling a building are very strong, and don’t cause unnecessary problems.
However, as the group of black-clad men came to Lingzhou, first destroying Xiaoloufeng, and then forcing Donglaifeng to disperse the village, Hu Hu couldn't help but sigh that his two brothers were really lucky, but then he also worried about this
The group of masters will then attack the two brothers' Xique Peak.
But after Hu Bao sent someone to inform him that the leader of this group of experts talked about cooperation, he felt relieved and thought that this group of people needed him as an internal agent in the city.
But the day before yesterday, my younger brother sent a handwritten letter saying that he was coming to live and sent Wan Jun's portrait and the ten thousand taels of silver note down the mountain.
Hu Hu, who had not received money for a long time, got the banknote and beamed with joy. Then he spread his eyes throughout Lingzhou City. Only then did the merchants discover Wan Jun's whereabouts and everything that happened after that.
With a little saliva on his fingers, Hu Hu turned the book to a blank page and wrote in the book, 'In the eighteenth year of Qi Yun, when he was intercepting and killing people in Jianghu, he received a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver.'
Then he carefully picked up the book, dried the ink, and looked at the book carefully as if admiring a trophy. Then he closed the book, put it back into the brocade box, and put it away carefully.
Then he summoned a man and told him in a low voice to go to the Fuhong Inn, the largest in the city, to keep an eye on the people coming from the north as mentioned by the merchant. If they leave, report them at any time.
After giving orders to this man, Hu Hu walked around the hall again, thinking that he had finally got a big deal, but he couldn't let him get away.
——
The merchant was galloping all the way on his horse. The mountain road was difficult to navigate, but the merchant seemed to be very familiar with the journey.
At sunset and dusk, we arrived at Hutou Village. The men guarding the village saw the merchant and were very familiar with it. They also knew that when he came to the village, he would have a big job, so he hurriedly opened the gate of the village and welcomed him in.
.
Zhang Da'er shook his big ears, stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked, "Why, I'm here again. This time you come in person, it must be an important matter."
The merchant ignored his fatigue and hurriedly said: "Where's the head of the house? The uncle in the family has something very important. Let me tell the head of the house orally."
"Don't bother me now. A few days ago, I passed by a few merchants. I took some people to the mountains to be kidnapped. There was a young lady among them. She was very handsome. I am afraid that I am enjoying myself at the moment. I advise you.
Don't mess with the master Yaxing." Zhang Da'er swallowed as he remembered the appearance of that young lady.
When the merchant heard this, he originally wanted to wait until Hu Bao finished his work before reporting it, but then he thought of the chief escort's order, and he didn't care much at the moment. He said eagerly: "Brother Zhang, this matter can't be delayed for a moment. The uncle of the family has personally explained it."
Yes, Brother Zhang took me to meet the boss."
Seeing how eager the merchant was, and hearing the explanation from the uncle himself, he did not dare to neglect, so he led the merchant to the middle of the village.
The men patrolling the village were also familiar with the traders when they saw them, and they all smiled and greeted the traders. Although the traders were anxious, they still responded one by one.
Following Zhang Da'er's guidance, we arrived at the largest house in the village. Zhang Da'er pointed at the house and said, "Here, the master is in the house. I won't go in and cause trouble, brother."
The merchant cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Leader Zhang."
Watching Zhang Daer leave, the merchant hurriedly approached and was about to knock on the door, but he heard calls for help coming from inside the house.
"No, no."
"Little lady, my boss will be fine today. Even if you scream, no one will come to save you. Hahaha."
The woman's cry for help, accompanied by Hu Bao's lewd laughter, reached the merchant's ears through the door. She knew that she had ruined Hu Bao's good deeds and would definitely offend him. However, considering the chief escort's method of punishing people, the merchant was still
He knocked on the door bravely.
Hu Bao has long coveted the woman's beauty since he kidnapped her and went to the mountain. However, these days he has been ordered to do things by Shake Qianren and has never had time to taste the woman's beauty.
This time, Chi Qianren and others had completed all the tasks assigned to them, and received another ten thousand taels of silver. Hu Bao was in a good mood. When he returned to the stronghold, he thought of this woman again, so he ordered people to bring her into the room.
He really wanted to do something casual, but when he heard someone knocking on the door, Hu Bao couldn't help but become angry with shame. He turned around and forgot to take a look at the woman's beauty, and ignored the person who knocked on the door.
But the knocking on the door didn't stop. It kept ringing for a while, which made people panic. Hu Baozi glanced at the woman huddled in a corner with messy hair, cursed and walked towards the door.
"Whoever dares to ruin my good deeds at this time, I must castrate him." The lustful Hu Bao opened the door angrily and was about to slap him in the face.
"Why is it you?" Hu Bao's slap stopped in the air.
Seeing that he was a capable person in his eldest brother's house, Hu Bao instantly understood that he must have some information about the person in the portrait, so he sent someone to report the news.
"You go find them first, and when I'm done, I'll go find you." Although Hu Bao knew that his elder brother had sent someone, it was an urgent matter, but when it came to the meat, there was no way to let it fly, so he wanted to play this way first.
After the man left, he had to enjoy the woman first before talking about it later.
When the merchant saw the appearance of the woman in the room and knew Hu Bao's virtue, he was about to turn around. He could see that the woman's eyes were pleading for help, but he still couldn't bear it.
So he flattered Hu Bao and said: "Second Master, it's not because I want to ruin the family's good deeds, but the message from the eldest brother in the family is that I must tell the matter to the Second Master as soon as possible, in case...
If you mess with the uncle, your life will be at risk."
After hearing what the vendor said, Hu Bao couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought about it carefully. He looked back at the trembling woman, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Zhang Da'er, Zhang Da'er."
Zhang Da'er, who had not yet gone far, heard the master calling him and hurriedly turned back, bowing and saying: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Take this woman down for me and keep her under guard. If she dies or is lost, I will take your life." Hu Bao ordered angrily.
After receiving the order, Zhang Dayer entered the room and took the woman away without saying much.
Let's say that this vendor followed Hu Bao into the village master's house and sat down. Hu Bao casually grabbed a piece of clothing, covered his upper body covered with oil and sweat, and said: "Tell me, what's the important thing that the uncle asked you to pass on?"
matter."
"I'm going back to the Second Master. It's the man in the portrait who has arrived in Lingzhou City. The Master asked me to tell you to make preparations in advance," the merchant reported.
"Oh, it's so fast. You really get what you want." Although Hu Bao expected that the man had news, he never expected that he had already arrived in Lingzhou City. No wonder his elder brother wanted this man to come to the village in such a hurry to deliver a message.
"Okay, I understand. You go back and tell your elder brother that I will leave immediately to arrange things properly." Hu Bao thought for a moment and then gave instructions to the merchant.
"Yes, let's go and do it." Although the merchant still wanted to save the poor woman just now, but thinking that he was just running errands and letting others take advantage of his customers, he could only think that the woman could be free.
Seeking blessings, he obeyed Hu Bao's instructions, got up and left, heading for Lingzhou City.
After Zhang Da'er handed the woman over to the care of his men, he returned to Hu Bao to resume his duties. He saw that Hu Bao was fully dressed and asked curiously: "It's almost night. Is the master going down the mountain?"
"You came just in time. Bring a team of people and follow me to Xiaolou Peak." Hu Bao was disturbed by the merchants, and the matter ordered by Chi Qianren has made progress. Liu and Fei Er, who entrusted the matter,
People are so generous with their actions.
Now I am going to report the news. When the two people hear the good news, they may be happy and give them another banknote. Wouldn't it be a good thing? As for that little girl, I might as well wait until I can finish it with Qianren and Liu.
It's not too late to enjoy this matter slowly. After making up his mind, Hu Bao hurriedly ordered Zhang Da'er.
The leader of the village had an order, so Zhang Daer quickly went to do it. After a while, everyone was ready, and everyone followed Hu Bao and rushed to Xiaolou Peak.
——
Chi Tianya and Gu Xiao, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for several days, saw that the dry food they carried with them was almost exhausted, so Chi Tianya was unwilling to accept the food sent by Chi Qianren.
After the two discussed it, Gu Xiao took Lin'er and Xue Hu to drive to Lingzhou to buy some food, while Chi Tianya, Gui Sumei and other Mohists waited under Xiaolou Peak.
Gu Xiao was naturally worried that the Chi Qianren would try another trick, but Chi Tianya was sure that the Chi Qianren would not attack him and the others before the interception and killing of Wanjun was completed, so Gu Xiao could just rest assured.
In this way, Gu Xiao took Lin'er and Xue Hu with him, drove the carriage, and headed towards Lingzhou City. This chapter has been completed!
