In the middle of the night, two black figures kept shaking on the wall of the layman's room. Pang Yu and the two were still sweating profusely. He Xianya replaced them once in the middle, but they were still a little overwhelmed.
The transportation process is very cumbersome. First, you have to scoop it up from the manure pit with a long manure scoop, wash it briefly and then put it into prepared sacks. After transporting it down the mountain, you need to drag it to a hidden house outside the town of Trailer River.
There is a road at the foot of the mountain. They have a carriage and two single horses. A carriage can pull more than three hundred kilograms at a time. A single horse can carry more than a hundred kilograms on a camel. It can carry more than five hundred kilograms at a time. Forty thousand taels of silver is about two thousand
If the weight is high, they need to go back and forth more than four times.
The most difficult part is the part on the mountain. Only manpower can be used. Not only does it take a lot of time to clean the silver ingots from the manure pit, but it is also very physically demanding to carry sacks down the mountain road. There are a lot of cut branches on the mountain road, which greatly increases the difficulty of carrying the load down the mountain. Three
After working for half a night, I sent the goods to a secret location.
"It's too slow to use a dung ladle." Pang Yu sat on the ground and whispered. "Every time, you have to scoop up the dung water and the silver ingots together, and then flush them with water. After a while, the water in the dung tank will become more and more.
The more there are, the slower it will be."
Pang Ding was so tired that he lay on his back, "There's nothing we can do about it. If we can't finish it today, we'll come back tomorrow night."
"No, we have to finish moving tonight to avoid a long night with too many dreams." Pang Yu stood up and looked around. Due to the washing of silver ingots on the ground, there were a lot of feces that had not been washed back around the manure pit, which was a very obvious mark.
Yunji Temple is extremely quiet at night. Apart from the chirping of insects in the mountains, there is only the rustling of the branches and leaves in the wind. The occasional creaking sound of the door being blown comes from the hall, which makes Pang Ding inexplicably nervous every time.
Pang Yu tried not to look at the main hall. There were more than a dozen headless corpses inside. It looked extremely eerie in the middle of the night, but he had to pass there every time he carried money, and the two of them had to go together every time.
So he definitely didn't want to stay another night in Yunji Temple tomorrow. Moreover, the people from the Yamen would come again tomorrow to move the body. They would be walking around and maybe find some clues, so Pang Yu must finish moving it tonight.
"I think we don't have to go ashore, that would be much faster." Pang Yu stared at Pang Ding and said.
"Then how to clean the silver ingots? It's impossible..." Pang Ding said with some doubts, then suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at Pang Yu.
Pang Yu nodded silently, Pang Ding swallowed a sip of saliva, slowly raised his upper body, and said cautiously, "Master, you can't do this."
"Why can't I? It's for everyone's sake. If the move is completed earlier, the money will be distributed earlier." Pang Yu said while moving his hands and feet.
Pang Ding looked at Pang Yu nervously, suddenly stood up and turned around to run away.
Pang Yu was well prepared. He jumped behind Pang Ding with one big step and pushed hard on Pang Ding's back. Pang Ding fell to the ground face to face.
"Master, please forgive me. If I don't go into the cesspool, I will be sick for the rest of my life and I won't be able to eat for the rest of my life."
Pang Yu rode on Pang Ding's back to control him, "Is that a cesspool? It's obviously a silver nest. You bitch, do you want to share the money?"
"I don't want your dirty money, please spare your life!" Pounding screamed miserably.
"You still think the money stinks, so you can't help but don't want it." Pang Yu waited until Pang Ding's strength was exhausted before he lifted Pang Ding up and pulled him to the manure pit.
"Go down by yourself or let me push you down, it's your choice."
Pang Ding looked at the dark cesspit with a sad face, and waves of stench hit his face.
He couldn't bear the fear in his heart and turned around to run away again. Pang Yu pushed him hard. Pang Ding lost his center of gravity and waved his hands wildly, and suddenly grabbed Pang Yu's clothes.
"Oh, let go!"
Pang Yu was startled and rushed to hit Pang Ding's hand, but Pang Ding had already stepped on the air, and he couldn't let go in the panic. Pang Yu only persisted for a moment, and then he lost his center of gravity. With a scream,
They both fell into the pit at the same time.
...
"Thanks to the concerted efforts of our brothers this time, we were able to finally get the money in our pocket."
Because standing in the manure tank improved their efficiency, Pang Yu and others finally sent all the money to the secret house before dawn. The place where the silver was hidden was in the cellar. They were afraid of being discovered by other people, so they always only
Light the lamp in the cellar. At this time, the cellar is filled with silver bags, and the four-person gang is having a temporary meeting.
After saying this, Pang Yu wiped the water from his head. Fortunately, there was a small stream originating from the mountain in front of his house. Not only could he wash the sacks containing silver, he could also take a shower.
After the last move, Pang Yu couldn't care less about the cold water in the stream. He washed in it for a full quarter of an hour, and Pang Yu felt like his skin was about to be rubbed off.
Even so, Pang Yu could still feel the disgust in Jiao Guozhao's eyes.
Pang Yu coughed dryly and continued, "Mr. Yang asked me to be the leader of the fast class. Naturally, I can't forget the two brothers. There are more than 20 people in the fast class. I plan to divide them into five teams. The eldest brother will lead one team and any
The third brother has just entered the yamen and will be appointed as the deputy of the team. The team is being reserved for you. After some time, he will be promoted to team leader. Pang Ding also joins the fast class and will be my personal soldier first."
Pang Ding pursed his lips and tilted his head to one side. He was willing to be a yamen servant, but compared to Pang Yu pushing him into the cesspool, it was only a small favor and could not eliminate the resentment in his heart.
Jiao Guozhao and He Xianya were both very happy. Jiao Guozhao had been highly valued by Captain Li in the fast class before, but he was not assigned to be a small boss. He had always had this desire in his heart.
He Xianya has always been a non-staff member. He does not have any money for work and food. He has to earn everything by himself. He always has to look at other people's faces. In the yamen food chain, a helper is the lowest pedestal. Now Captain Pang has turned him into a
As soon as I got a full-time job, I immediately became the vice-captain under my command. Needless to say, I was very excited.
"Thank you second brother for your support. Second brother is still loyal. Even when he became famous, he never forgot his brother."
Pang Yu waved his hand magnanimously, "The so-called brothers in battle, in the future, I have to rely more on the two brothers to help me come up with ideas. We must make Tongcheng Express Class the richest and most powerful in the Ming Dynasty.
It’s a fast class.”
Jiao Guozhao laughed and said, "Hahaha, look at how those gambling stalls will dare to look down on me in the future."
"What the second brother said is that I have thought a lot for the second brother today." He Xianya couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, licking his lips and said eagerly, "After this civil unrest, both groups, Mr. Zheng and Huang Wending, were harmed. It turns out that
The pawnshops, gambling stalls, grain shops, dental shops and other industries they occupied have been severely damaged, and these are closely related to Kuaiban. Instead of waiting for new forces to take over, why don't we brothers take over."
Pang Yu clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, the third brother has used his brain. I also thought the same. I must take advantage of this purge to wipe out the remaining parties and uproot both sides. But that's a story later. Let's talk about the money first.
distribute."
Everyone was attentive. Pang Yu didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and continued, "Let me tell you my thoughts first. The proportion of money distribution must be consistent with everyone's contribution, otherwise everyone will be dissatisfied.
There will definitely be disputes in the future. For example, Ponting, although he was involved from beginning to end and contributed a lot, did not even mind that the cesspit was dirty. But he was not involved when we were planning. In this matter, planning is extremely important.
, Without planning, everything is like water without a source. Without this, he cannot share the same amount of silver as us. I think Ponting's share of one thousand taels is enough."
Jiao Guozhao's eyes rolled around. He had already prepared that Pang Yu would not share the money equally with them. At this time, Pang Yu asked to divide the money according to contribution. Of course, Pang Yu contributed the most, from the initial planning to the later command.
The execution depends almost entirely on Pang Yu, so that he can have the tens of thousands of taels of silver in front of him.
But Pang Yu used Pang Ding as an example. Pang Ding naturally would not refute, and lowered the price to one thousand taels. Later, it would be difficult for Jiao Guozhao and Jiao Guozhao to negotiate. Jiao Guozha felt that Pang Yu was bargaining too hard.
.
He was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. He looked at He Xianya with his eyes, wanting He Xianya to speak.
When Pang Yu saw this, he could guess it without thinking, because the two of them had been guarding Wang Guohua here in the past few days. It was impossible for the two of them to just sit around. They must have discussed these matters, and this time it was Pang Yu who took the lead, Jiao Guohua
The status of Zha and He Xianya is almost the same. Starting from their own interests, they must discuss it in private first in order to form a united front and maximize their interests.
Naturally, Pang Yu would not let the situation develop. As Pang Ding expected, Pang Yu had already changed his title when he spoke again.
"If you have something to say, Captain Jiao, you can say it directly. From now on, I will be eating in a pot in the fast class. I am most afraid of hiding my words in my heart. As time goes by, we will be divided. Otherwise, Captain He will say it first."
Jiao Guozhao and He Xianya looked at each other. They also noticed something was wrong from this title. No wonder Pang Yu wanted to put them into the fast class first, and then give them a captain position first.
They were overjoyed just now, but when Pang Yu talked about how to divide the spoils, they felt it was hard to speak up. Now that Pang Yu had become their superior, the status was no longer an equal brotherly relationship. How could the subordinates open their mouths to bargain with the superior? It seemed that
I was tricked by Pang Bantou.
When Jiao Guozhao saw that He Xianya was silent, he kept winking at He Xianya and his eyebrows jumped unnaturally, but He Xianya still didn't respond. He couldn't help but feel anxious and glanced at Pang Ding next to him. He didn't dare to ask Pang Ding to speak.
, this person is Pang Yu's domestic servant, speaking will definitely be beneficial to Pang Yu.
He really had no choice but to fight for such a huge benefit anyway. He coughed and said, "The main credit for these tens of thousands of taels of silver belongs to my second brother. We have no objection to this. But after all,
It was carried back by everyone together. If it's too different, it doesn't seem to be suitable. Brother, I think..."
At this time, He Xianya suddenly interrupted Jiao Guozhao. He looked at Pang Yu and said, "This matter is almost entirely due to the second brother's efforts. I am just helping from the side. If the second brother finds other people, he can also do these things. But.
If I follow other people, I will never get this money. I am a contented person, so I want to share two thousand taels. This is already a large amount of money. I never thought that I could earn so much at once in this life. It’s all thanks to trust.
Second brother’s blessing. These two thousand taels will depend on whether second brother thinks it’s appropriate.”
Jiao Guozhao was speechless. This was obviously not the result of the discussion between him and He Xianya. At that time, He Xianya's opinion was to start with five thousand taels and strive for seven or eight thousand.
Pang Yu turned to Pang Ding again, "The third brother said what he meant, Pang Ding, you also have a share, you have to say it too."
"Then I will give you five hundred taels." Pang Ding said sincerely. Of course, he was not sincere, but Pang Yu forced him to say so on the mountain.
"The young master took a big risk and almost lost his life. We just put in a little effort, so how can we be so embarrassed to open our mouths? Besides, the young master is gifted with talents. As long as you follow the young master, you will have a lot of money and high officials in the future."
Of course, you don’t care about the small profit at hand. If you leave the money with the young master, you may earn more.”
"Pang Ding, you are too polite. Five hundred taels is still too little. Master cannot treat you badly. At least one thousand taels." After Pang Yu finished speaking, he turned to Jiao Guozhao.
"I..." Jiao Guozhao originally thought well and insisted on competing with Pang Yu, a second-rate idiot, but Pang Yu came up and refused to let him speak. He Xianya betrayed the revolution midway, but Pang Yu won him over, and arranged for Pang Yu to win him over.
After some restraint by Ding, the atmosphere of the entire negotiation was completely in favor of Pang Yu. It seemed that if Jiao Guozha wanted to fight now, he would be unsatisfied and ungrateful, let alone his subordinate.
Jiao Guozhao was suffocating in his heart. In the past, he wouldn't have cared about the feelings of these people and would have made a big fuss.
Pang Yu across from him was smiling. The impression that Pang Yu was full of murderous intent in the hall that night had been deeply implanted in Jiao Guozhao's mind, and he immediately remembered that he would have to work under this second brother in the future.
Thinking of this, Jiao Guozhao suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. He slumped down and said, "I think what they said is reasonable, and I also want to divide the two thousand taels."
Pang Yu clapped his hands and said, "Thanks for your kindness, brothers, I will give you what you said. This is what you said is fair. Brothers, I will never bargain, and no one can gossip behind my back in the future. Captain Jiao, Deputy He, we
The three of us need to work together as brothers to make this fast class prosperous."
Jiao Guozhao looked at Pang Yu's sincere face, hesitated several times, and finally let out a long sigh.
