After arriving at the delivery location, Zhan Beihan immediately counted his men and led the two hundred most elite soldiers in the guard army, dividing them into two groups.
One hundred of them disguised themselves as ordinary civilians, dressed in plain clothes, and transported iron ore to the cliff for delivery.
Another hundred people broke into pieces and lurked near the cliff, just waiting for the person to receive the goods to appear and as soon as the signal sounded, they rushed out and took away the stolen goods!
In order to ensure that no accidents occurred during the transaction, Zhan Beihan specially brought Du Jingui with him.
The reason why I took him with me instead of King Pingyang.
It's because of the many previous transactions where Du Jingui was the one involved in the imperial mausoleum.
King Pingyang is greedy and loves to enjoy himself. He is willing to hide behind the scenes and give orders, never appearing at the transaction scene.
Therefore, Du Jingui has a better understanding of the transaction process, and it will be more useful to bring him along.
As for King Pingyang.
Now he only has half his life left, and he is lying in a cage as if he were alive, fearing that he would never be able to walk with his legs for the rest of his life!
Zhan Beihan looked at the cliff with cold eyes, his mind drifting away unconsciously.
In the past two days, he had been working vigorously in the imperial mausoleum and had no time to ask about the situation in Yuanmu Town. He only sent back a brief message from Ye Yi, saying that everything was normal.
Xiao Lingyue's side is probably over soon, right?
Prince Xiang is staying at the county magistrate, with Minister Shen and a group of guards around him, so there is no need to worry.
And Xiao Lingyue.
Most of Li Zhai's caravan consists of ordinary people, with only a few dead soldiers hiding, so the danger is very small.
With her ability, dealing with three or two kittens is definitely not a problem.
He could also use the situation in Li's house to hold her back, lest she notice the movement in the imperial mausoleum and come to him without permission to cause trouble.
A cold scolding voice came from behind: "Du Jingui, how did you deliver the goods? Tell me clearly!"
Du Jingui trembled, not daring to hide anything: "Delivery is very simple, as long as the goods are delivered to the bottom of the cliff in a hanging basket at the set time, that's it, there is no need to do anything else...
.”
"You think I'm easy to fool, don't you?"
The guard disguised as a civilian husband sneered: "The iron ore is so heavy, how can we transport it down the cliff? Who will be there to help it when it reaches the bottom? Moreover, if so much iron ore is sent to the bottom of the cliff, how can we transport it out of the mountain? You'd better be honest.
explain clearly!"
Du Jingui said in fear: "This is very simple. Just use a pulley to connect a hemp rope, fix it on the rocks on the edge of the cliff, and use a hanging basket to send the iron ore down. It can put more than two hundred kilograms at a time, which is very convenient.
After the iron ore is hoisted down, there will be people at the bottom of the cliff to help it, and then it will be pulled up when the basket is empty.
Repeat this several times, and it won't take long for the one thousand kilograms of goods to be transported. After that, all you have to do is collect the pulleys and hemp ropes and hide them in the cave."
The guard's face changed slightly: "Then how was the iron ore sent down transported away?!"
Du Jingui shivered and said, "I'm not sure about this either..."
"Qiang!"
The guard directly pulled out his saber, and an icy cold light shone on Du Jindou's face.
"...It's a boat! It should be a boat!"
Du Jingui was frightened and blurted out: "I saw it with my own eyes. A black ship came down from the upper reaches and stopped at the bottom of the cliff! They must have hidden the goods on the ship and transported it away from the river!"
"You mean, there is a dock for ships to dock under the cliff?" Zhan Bei's cold voice sounded.
