The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 198

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu went back to their own room, they fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning, they punched a few times in the yard to exercise their muscles and bones, and then they came up for breakfast.

The two of them and Chai Shao took a few mouthfuls of food casually, and the three of them came to the yard where the money was kept.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, hey, have you had breakfast?"

"Returning to Mr. Chai, we have eaten it just now."

Chai Shao looked at the people he was looking at and said, "You all worked hard this time, everyone go home and have a good rest for a few days, who will go with you next time when you sell horses? You can talk to me after you get the money, I can do it I know what's in my heart."

Everyone nodded.

"Mr. Chai, from now on we will live with you, and we will leave whenever you say.

Anyway, following you will not hurt us. "

Chai Shao pointed to one of the silver carts and said, "Open this silver cart. Take your wages and go home to rest for a few days. Replenish your strength. We have to leave soon."

Duan Wuji gave these people money from the car, 30 taels per person, and these people were so happy to receive this white money.

Immediately smilingly packed up the money and said goodbye to go home, the number of people in the yard suddenly decreased.

After the money was distributed, Chai Shao looked at the soldiers led by Cao Qiubao with a smile and said: "You have worked hard on this journey. Although you were sent by the old man Yang Wang, we can't use it in vain." You, we will send you two small money, you can take it back to subsidize your family.

After all, your family is not very rich, and a few extra money can support your family after all.

Hey, Brother Wuji, you can send it to them. Each person gets 20 taels of silver. Everyone, don’t make less money. "

When these people heard that the Coke was broken, they didn't expect that they couldn't make a small fortune at the end of the day. This is really a surprise!

"Thank you, Mr. Chai, for the reward, and thank you, Boss Duan, for the reward. If there is such a good thing next time, then we will follow along!"

Duan Wuji took the silver from the silver cart and distributed it to these soldiers, 20 taels per person, thirty guard soldiers, and fifteen cart owners, a total of nine hundred silver was distributed.

Duan Wuji took another 100 taels and handed it to Cao Qiubao.

"Brother Cao, this hundred silver was given to you by Brother Chai, so you can take it too."

Cao Qiubao smiled and took the silver and put it away.

"Thank you, Officer Chai, and Brother Wuji, then I will keep the 100 taels of silver."

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"Put it away, put it away, you deserve it."

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and the others and said, "There's nothing else to do now, let's divide the remaining silver. After dividing it, we can store it separately!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What's the point? Didn't it cost two thousand and one hundred taels of silver?
We have three major stocks, and each share takes out 700 taels, and the rest of the money is ours.

Brother Chai, is it such an account? "

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"Brother, you usually always say that you don't know how to count, isn't that very clear?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, I don't know the big numbers, and the small numbers don't bother me.

After all, I am the son of that scholar, how can I be illiterate? "

Duan Wuji pointed at the five cars.

"These five carts of silver are mine now, Brother Cao, you can take the cart to my home later."

Duan Wuji unloaded 700 taels of silver from the cart and handed it to Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, I lent you the 2000 taels of silver last time, and the 700 taels of silver I should have paid just now. Order some."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Put it there, what else is there?"

Tie Niu also unloaded [-] taels of silver from a cart and put it on the ground.

"Brother Chai, here is the 700 taels we should pay. Take a look."

"Well, let's put it there too."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu bowed their hands at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, you are busy first, we will go home first, let's meet again in a few days.

Hey, Brother Chai, there are a lot of people in your mansion, let's take twenty of these soldiers away.

This way we will be safer on the road. "

Chai Shao laughed and said: "You can take as many people as you like, I don't need these people anyway. I have plenty of people in my house."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Cao Qiubao: "Brother Cao, let's leave now, this place is still fifty or sixty miles away from our home."

The servants at home brought the horses over, and the owner of the carriage harnessed the carriage, and immediately drove the carriage out of Chaifu.

Chai Shao personally sent them out from the mansion.

The servants brought the horses of these people, and these people got on the horses.Duan Wuji and Tie Niu cupped their hands at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, go back and get busy, we're leaving now."

After finishing speaking, Tie Niu and Duan Changqing led the way on horseback, while Duan Wuji and Duan Changhao led the way in the rear. The ten silver-carrying convoy drove towards the west of the city.

The pedestrians around all looked sideways when they saw it, and said to themselves, "Which convoy is this? Why is it so majestic?"

After traveling for less than an hour, a group of dozens of people finally arrived at the fork in Duanjiaji.

Duan Wuji reined in his horse and said: "Brothers, we got rich again, let's break up now.

Brother Changhong, there is nothing to do these few days, you should practice hard at home.

Brother Tieniu, let's see how our porcelain kiln is doing in a few days. "

Tie Niu laughed.

"Okay, okay! I'll find you in three or five days. Let's go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the little brothers separated, and each went home with their own money carts.

Duan Wuji led Cao Qiubao back to his home with ten soldiers escorting the silver cart, and Duan Yanqing immediately ran out of the house with his family after Wen Xun.

Duan Wuji smiled and said to his parents and brother: "Father, mother, brother, this is my good friend in Shandong, my elder brother Cao.

Brother Cao, these are my parents and brother, let’s all get to know each other. "

When Cao Qiubao saw him, he hurriedly slapped a thousand feet on one leg and knelt down to salute Duan Wuji's parents.

"Cao Qiubao pays respects to Uncle and Aunt, how have you been, Uncle and Aunt?"

When Duan Wuji's parents saw him, they quickly reached out to help.

"Cao Yingxiong, don't be too polite, get up quickly."

Cao Qiubao stood up and greeted Duan Changsheng again, and then immediately ordered the soldiers he brought to unload the money.

Duan Yanqing, Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji were also helping at the side, and when all the money was unloaded into the cart, they helped move all the money into the house.

When Cao Qiubao saw that all the money had been moved, he immediately ordered the people to get on their horses and leave.

Duan Wuji stepped forward and stopped him. "Brother Cao, you have come to my house, how can you leave without eating? Do you think our family can't take care of your meals?"

"Brother, where did you say it went? We also escorted the money, I think we should take the time to go back.

If we eat and drink outside here, once it reaches the ears of Old King Yang, it will be a great disadvantage to us!

After all, it is not easy for me to rise to this flag, brother, you can measure my difficulties.

Let's sit together again when we have a chance, brother, can you forgive me this time? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Cao, if you say that, then I won't keep you, let's meet again later."

As he said that, Duan Wuji took out 200 taels of silver from the house and distributed it to everyone, including the owner of the car.The remaining 50 taels were handed over to Cao Qiubao.

"Brother Cao, I wish you a safe journey, see you tomorrow."

All the soldiers put away the money, not to mention the joy in their hearts, everyone got on their horses one after another, and the owner of the carriage came out of Duan Wuji's house with an empty cart.

Immediately ran down the same road.

Duan Yanqing led the family to send them out, and turned back until they were out of sight.
