Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 25 Rewards
Before leaving, Li Jing called Dahu, Liu Erleng, Zhuzi and others to him and whispered some instructions, and brought some wine for them to drink a little before letting them go.

In the middle of the night, most of the city was quiet except for the brothels. Occasionally, there were a few bangs, which made this famous city look a little angry.

Shopkeeper Zhou of Shenji Silk and Satin Village was looking at the dozen or so sealed boxes in the yard, pacing non-stop.

The silk and satin shop has been transferred out. Because shopkeeper Zhou is well-managed, the new owner kept him and let him continue to be the shopkeeper.

To be honest, the Shen family treated him well, and he didn't want to leave the Shen family, but he heard the rumor faintly, knowing that the Shen family seemed to have committed a crime, so he was in a hurry to transfer the shop.Shopkeeper Zhou didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the Shen family and the government, but just wanted to find a place to eat safely.

Shopkeeper Zhou received a letter sent by Shen Zheng during the day today, knowing that someone will come to accept the property tonight, as long as the final property is delivered, he will have no relationship with the Shen family anymore.It's just that the third watch has passed, but no one has come.

Shopkeeper Zhou went to the door again and listened carefully. This was the first time he heard the movement outside and he couldn't remember.

Suddenly, a burst of singing came from a distance, and shopkeeper Zhou frowned. Which rich young master finished drinking the flower wine?

Huh?wrong. . .

Why is this song so bad?The voice is like a broken gong, and there is not even a tune.

Shopkeeper Zhou was already anxiously waiting, but when he heard this piercing singing, he was even more upset.

At this moment, the singing stopped abruptly, and then a person shouted: "Who is it? Why are you hiding here? Grandma, don't be a few thieves. Brothers, put these The guy was caught and sent to the government."

Immediately afterwards, shopkeeper Zhou heard a crackling sound from outside, and there were several people's shouts in the middle, and it seemed that he had already moved his hands.

After a while, the fighting sound stopped, and the broken voice reappeared: "Brothers, tie them up and send them to the yamen."

"You guys are so brave, we are the people in the yamen, you dare to tie us up, it's against you!" one person shouted.

"Grandma, what are the people in the yamen hiding here in the middle of the night? I think you thieves are either stealing or trying to rob. Brothers, beat me to death. I think they are telling the truth." Broken gong shouted.

Suddenly there was another crackling sound outside.

"Grandpa, please forgive me, please forgive me, the younger ones are really the messengers from the yamen, Lord Wang sent the younger ones here." One person shouted.

"What is Mr. Wang? I have never heard of it. Damn it, you dare to speak so hard and beat me up." shouted in a broken voice.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I'm telling the truth, I just want to steal something here, you can send us to the yamen." One person shouted.

"Hahaha, what did I say, I knew it was a thief just by looking at you guys. Forget it, I'm in a good mood after winning money today, so I don't care about you guys, get out of here quickly, and let me see you again , interrupt your dog legs." Po Gong shouted.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Zhou heard the sound of footsteps outside, and when the sound gradually faded away, the voice of the broken gong sounded again: "Okay, I'm running away, and hurry up and drive the carriage over."

There was a sound of wheels rolling, and then someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked.

"I'm here to deliver the property under the order of Master Shen." He said in a broken voice.

"I have been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly." Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

With a broken gong, someone drove the carriage into the courtyard, looked outside, and then closed the courtyard door.

"Here, here are the house deeds and land deeds, and the money, we'll leave right away." Po Gong said in a voice.

"Wait a minute, I'll invite the new owner to take a look. The money is here, and you have counted it." Shopkeeper Zhou said.

"No need to count, Master Shen said that shopkeeper Zhou is a shrewd person and careful in doing things, and he will never be bad. In addition, Master Shen also said that when the Shen family starts the silk business again in a few years, shopkeeper Zhou will be asked to help manage it. " said in a broken voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your kindness. You guys will go back and tell Mr. Shen that when the Shen family will start the silk business again, Mr. Zhou is willing to serve you at any time. Wait a moment, the new owner has read the deed, and you can deposit money." Zhou The shopkeeper said.

"That's fine! Tell him to hurry up!" Po Gong said in a voice.

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, turned and entered the room.

The broken voice was Chen Dahu. Li Jing asked him to pretend to be drunk, find the government's eyeliner near Shen's shop, pretend to be stupid with alcohol, beat these people up and drive them away, and then find shopkeeper Zhou to make the delivery.

Chen Dahu acted according to the plan, and everything went smoothly.

After a while, shopkeeper Zhou came out and said that he had inspected the contract and asked Chen Dahu and others to load the car.

Chen Dahu waited for a few bandits to lift the box to the car, tied it up with a rope, then went out quietly and returned to the rice shop.

Not long after Chen Dahu and the others returned to the rice grain store, Liu Erleng and the others also came back.When a few people got together and talked about beating the government's eyeliner with alcohol, they were all elated and even exaggerated their brilliance.

"Okay, don't talk about it, brothers, eat something first, it will be dawn in a while, and we will have to pack food soon. Let's leave the city right away when the gate of the city opens at dawn." Li Jing said.

"Yes!" All the bandits responded in unison.

"Nephew, don't we wait for those craftsmen?" Shen Zheng said to Li Jing.

"No, wait for them to come, please arrange for shopkeeper Wang to send someone directly to the farm outside the city, and we will wait for them there." Speaking of this, Li Jing smiled and said: "The city is a place of right and wrong, these people under me are not What good birds, don't let them make trouble."

"Hehe, my nephew is too modest. Although the brothers under your command are somewhat informal, as long as you are around, no one dares to be dishonest." Shen Zheng laughed.

"Young master is very true. Last night, young master Li gave these guys a good meal. I don't think any of them dared to say anything." Shopkeeper Wang laughed.

"If these guys don't fight for three days, they have to go to the house to expose the tiles. I can't help it." Li Jing laughed.

"By the way, in Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, Uncle Shi will immediately arrange for people to buy land and farms outside the city. Our goal is too big, and it will not be convenient to transfer property in the future." Li Jing said suddenly, looking at more than ten carriages.

Each of these carriages was loaded with at least 1 taels of silver. It was really inconvenient to transport so much silver out of the city.

In order to avoid these troubles, it is better to transport the property directly outside the city when transferring the property, which reduces the risk of future transshipment.

"Well, I will send someone to inform the second and third brothers to buy a few houses outside the city in Luoyang and other places." Shen Zheng nodded.

At dawn, a group of carriages came out of the backyard of Hexiang Mipu and headed straight for the North City Gate.

When the convoy arrived at the city gate, the city gate had just opened, and several soldiers guarding the city gate were checking the guideposts and luggage of passers-by to see if they carried any prohibited items.

There were already a lot of people entering and leaving the city in the morning, and the inspection by the soldiers made the originally very wide city gate look a bit crowded.

When Li Jing and his convoy came to the city gate, a city gate guard shouted: "Why are you so fucking crowded, step aside. What's in your car? Open it and check."

Seeing that the gate guard wanted to check, shopkeeper Wang hurried forward and said: "Hehe, this military man, the car is full of food. If you open it, won't it all be scattered? You are so precious, it's a small thing, I bought it for some lords." Drink and eat."

As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to the gate guard.

The city gate guard shook his silver and said with a smile: "This old man still knows how to handle things, that's enough, let's go!"

"Thank you, Lord Jun." Shopkeeper Wang cupped his hands.

If there is money to buy the way, then it will be released first, and Li Jing and his party Shi Shi ran out of the city gate.

When passing through the city gate, the city gate guard inadvertently glanced at Li Jing, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

"Boss, what are you thinking?" A soldier next to him touched the city gate guard who was thinking.

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that the person just now looked familiar." The city gate guard shook his head and said.

"Which person? We have seen a lot of people in this doorway all day long, so it's not surprising that one or two faces are familiar." The soldier laughed.

"No, I just feel something is wrong." The city gate guard shook his head as he watched Li Jing's receding back.

Suddenly the city gatekeeper seemed to remember something, hurried into the gatehouse next to him, and ran out again after a while, holding a portrait in his hand.

"Look, does it look like the man just now?" said the city gate guard.

"I didn't see what that person looked like just now, so I don't know." The soldier said.

"Idiot, there is a reward of 500 taels of silver in the Anyang Mansion. If it is really him, we will send it if we catch him. Alas, I was careless. I was checking all day a few days ago. I didn't expect to slack off just now. He Just got out. Damn, this kid is quite courageous, and he ran to our Zhengzhou, you stay here, I will go to Sun Zongqi and tell him, let him lead someone to catch up and see." The guard scolded.

"Boss, if it's really him, don't lose your reward if you catch him." The soldier laughed.

"Fuck you mother, when did I forget you?" The city gate guard turned around and left after cursing.

After a while, a group of officers and soldiers quickly left the city and chased after Li Jing and others in the direction they left the city.

Li Jing and others walked several miles out of the city, when they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, Li Jing suddenly turned his head and saw a group of officers and soldiers galloping towards them.

Although the bandits had fought with officers and soldiers a few times before, this was the first time they faced cavalrymen. They were a little flustered. Some bandits even showed their knives. Li Jing reined in his horses and shouted: "Brothers, protect the vehicles!" , don’t panic, damn, how do you usually train.”

After hearing Li Jing's shout, the gangsters came to their senses. Thirty people circled the carriage and stood still with the horse's head facing outward.

Seeing a group of officers and soldiers chasing after him, Li Jing was also a little confused, not knowing what went wrong.
