"Dear gentlemen, may I ask whether you are coming to Da Nang for business or to visit relatives?"
An unexpected word sounded behind him, startling everyone in the Wu family.
Wu Yuanqing turned around and saw a wretched-looking man nodding his head and smiling, but the wrinkled Han clothes he wore looked nondescript.
Perhaps this is the original meaning of "Wan the Monkey and Crown"?
Wu Yuanqing was a rare young man...
Wu Yuanshuang, who was beside him, was already dissatisfied and shouted: "You are so sneaky, do you want to steal our things?"
The man was startled, moved his hands quickly, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, gentlemen, please don't misunderstand me, who dares to steal Han people's things in Da Nang? Is it because he doesn't die fast enough? What the hell!"
He is a local from Linyi, and he usually makes a living by guiding the newly arrived Han people at the dock... In the streets and alleys of Da Nang, and even in the mountains and hills of the surrounding counties, there is no small place that you don't know. If you are in life
If you are not familiar with the place, you might as well ask me to guide you. The reward is very cheap. I only need to reward you with a few copper coins. I will be very grateful..."
He was very sharp-tongued, and his mouth was sputtering with foam, which shocked everyone in the Wu family to look confused...
"Are you from Linyi?"
Mr. Shan felt a little incredible. He spoke Chinese so well, right?
And with a Guanzhong accent, it sounds very friendly in this foreign country, and the vigilance is inadvertently reduced to a minimum...
"Yes, yes, I am a native of Linyi."
"You speak Chinese so well and so proficiently. Does it sound like our Guanzhong accent?"
Wu Yuanshuang was also a little curious and asked.
The man nodded and bowed, with a harmless smile on his face: "In Da Nang, if you don't speak a few words of Chinese, you can't make a living! Now people from the entire Linyi Kingdom are flocking to Da Nang, just to be able to provide
The Han people work and are paid hundreds of times what we usually earn from farming. The rice is worthless and is bought by the Han people one by one... The younger ones probably have some talent, so they can speak Chinese well."
Wu Yuanqing thought for a while. Anyway, the sailors and merchants on the ship were not friendly to his family because of Shan's words. They went their separate ways after getting off the ship, without even a guide...
"Governor's Mansion, you know, right?"
"You must know this! Why, how many noble people are going to the Governor's Mansion?"
The man was a little surprised and a little shocked.
Probably the deterrent power of the Governor's Palace in Da Nang is strong enough to make people change their minds...
Wu Yuanqing straightened his chest and said proudly: "The current governor Liu Rengui used to be a servant of my family. This time we traveled thousands of miles to Danang to move our family at his invitation. From now on, my family will
If we establish our foothold in Da Nang, we can do whatever we say to the whole of Da Nang!"
"Ouch!"
The man opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Seriously? Oops, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful. Are you going to the Governor's Mansion? I will lead the way for you nobles without any reward!"
Shanshi said happily: "That's a good feeling!"
Save what you can, and always be mean and stingy.
Wu Yuanshuang asked curiously: "Don't you make a living from this? Why don't you want to be paid?"
The man said with a grimace: "Serve the Governor, I dare not ask for money, otherwise I will be beaten to death..."
"hehe!"
The Wu brothers looked at each other and smiled. Liu Rengui actually still has such authority in Da Nang. From now on, relying on him, he can be popular and drink well...
"Well, take the lead and lead the way. When we get to the place, you will be rewarded!"
Wu Yuanqing said straightforwardly, "Both these two brothers are used to spending a lot of money. They have done a lot of things that cost a lot of money. As long as they are comfortable being served, why would they care about rewards?"
I don't care at all that my family used to be very wealthy, but today I left my hometown...
"Hey, you are truly a noble man! This magnanimity is beyond words! I wish you, sir, may you be a prince forever!"
Wu Yuanqing laughed heartily.
Da Nang is simply your own backyard. Isn’t it easy to make money?
A better life is just around the corner.
The man pointed to a long row of poorly decorated carriages on the roadside, and said flatteringly: "You are a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, with a body of a thousand pieces of gold, and you cannot bear the fatigue. The Governor's Palace is in the west of Da Nang City, several miles away from here. If you walk
Maybe you two might not care about it, but you ladies may not be able to hold on... How about we find some carriages and take a ride there?"
When Wu Yuanshuang heard that it was so far away, he hurriedly said: "Okay, go find some carriages and bring them over. The price doesn't matter."
Anyway, we are going to see Liu Rengui later. Not to mention arranging a place for their family to stay, we have to pay for the car, so why save money for Liu Rengui?
Only Shanshi muttered: "Just walk there, why waste money..."
But after all, when I'm away from home, I can't keep arguing with the two uncles, so I have to risk my luck...
The Linyi man trotted to the roadside and called three or four carriages. The coachmen together loaded the luggage carried by the Wu family onto the carriages, and then served the nobles to get on the carriages. Then they shook their whips and drove away in a swaying manner.
After arriving at the bustling pier, we headed straight to the west of the city.
On the carriage, the Wu brothers looked at the Linyi people with black boxing skills who passed by the roadside from time to time, pointing and marveling.
Unconsciously, the road became narrower and narrower, the brick walls on both sides became taller and taller, and the number of people on the street gradually became sparse and eventually disappeared...
Wu Yuanshuang was more lively than his brother. At this moment, he felt something was wrong. His eyebrows twitched and he raised his voice: "Coach driver, is this the wrong way?"
The driver was silent.
The guide from Linyi sat on the shaft of the carriage, turned around and said with a smile: "Noble man, please don't be anxious. Passing through this narrow alley is the Governor's Mansion."
Wu Yuanshuang was relieved.
However, after a moment, my heart suddenly lifted again.
A brick wall suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the already narrow alley...
It's actually a dead end.
Wu Yuanshuang suddenly stood up from the car and shouted: "What do you want to do?"
Following his shout, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides. They were all strong and strong, covered in black scarves. They all jumped down from the wall, waving the sharp swords in their hands, and killed them quickly without saying a word.
Come!
Everyone in the Wu family was dumbfounded!
What's going on?
It is said that Tang people are the best in Da Nang?
If you don't even dare to pay the reward, why do you even use a knife?
It was Wu Yuan Shuang who reacted quickly. Although his calves were spinning with fear, he still shouted with a pale face: "You heroes, listen to me! We are nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and the Governor of Da Nang also knows it. He has harmed me.
If you are waiting for your life, your life is at risk! There is abundant money around us, you can take it by yourself, we will not stop you, and we will not hold you accountable..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
First, a strong man in black turban leaped onto the shaft of the carriage, swung the sword in his hand, the sword was bright, and then a burst of hot blood spurted out. Wu Yuanshuang's big head flew into the sky, and then rolled to the ground...
…
At this moment, the rabbit had risen and the falcon had turned into an elbow and an armpit. When everyone in the Wu family came to their senses, Wu Yuanshuang's head was missing and his body was lying on the spot.
Wu Yuanqing was sitting next to Wu Yuanshuang, watching his brother's head fall to the ground, blood spurting out of his head and face, but he still sat there dumbfounded, his eyes were wide open but unfocused, he was so scared...
He was so frightened that these killers moved without any sluggishness. Their steps were light and their strikes were ruthless. They rushed forward like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, raising their swords high in the air.
Cries, begging for mercy, screams... ghosts crying and wolves howling in the narrow alleys.
The group of men in black seemed to have descended from the sky and fled away. They had long since disappeared. The guide and coachman also disappeared without a trace. Only the women and children of the Wu family and underage children were left crying like crazy...
The corpses were strewn about in a horrible way, and the ground in the alley was stained with blood.
As the cries attracted many passers-by and nearby residents to check out, all the adult males of a Tang aristocratic family were slaughtered, and all their belongings and valuables were swept away. This super big case spread wildly in Da Nang, like an unstoppable event.
The typhoon caused huge waves in an instant!
Not only in Da Nang, but also in the land of Lam Yi, the Tang people are like gods and Buddhas all over the sky!
Even when officials of Lin Yi State walked on the street and met Tang merchants, they had to be polite. Even when they met Tang army generals, they had to step to the side of the road to give way! Once there was a dispute or fight involving Tang people, Lin Yi State officials were the first to respond.
We care about whether any Tang people are injured, but as for our own citizens, we don’t care whether they live or die...
The people of the Tang Dynasty could walk sideways on this land. Even the king of Linyi had to be respectful to the generals of the Tang army and could not be messed with at all...
However, under this background, a nobleman from Chang'an was robbed and killed, more than ten adult men were brutally killed, and all their property was looted.
All the people in Linyi were horrified and did not dare to guess what kind of revenge the Tang people would launch if the killer could not be caught for a while...
