Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"What?!" Zheng Xiu was taken aback when he heard this. "After they took the money, they actually knew how to work?"

Zheng Xiu always thought that it was just bandits charging protection fees in a different way. How could he think that bandits would actually protect them!

"Of course," Zhang Jing said mysteriously, "Have you heard of the four emperors (bcai) in the past? It has become history now! There are only one emperor and three emperors in the current great mountain road, and this is one of them. The first action of the top queen!"

Hearing what Zhang Jing said, Zheng Xiu immediately became excited.

He had heard that the recent Youzhou, as if it was blessed by a god, has developed rapidly like clouds and mists, and many businessmen who ventured to Youzhou have made a lot of money.

In addition, Youzhou has recently produced new products such as refined salt and straw paper. As a qualified businessman, Zheng Xiu is very aware of how great the potential of these high-quality products is. That's why he was so troubled just now.

"OK then!"

In the end, Zheng Xiu gritted his teeth and decided to say, "Wealth and wealth are in danger, I'll go with you!"

Having said that, Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing felt extremely uneasy when they really stepped into the great mountain road that was a place of lawlessness in the past.

After all, these rumors about the great mountain road are just rumors after all, and no one knows whether it is true or not until they have experienced it in person.

Just as I was thinking about it, a loud shout suddenly came from the front!

Just as I was thinking about it, a loud shout suddenly came from the front!

"I planted this tree, and I drove this road! If I want to pass through here, I will leave it to buy road money!"

I saw several thieves standing on the avenue with vigor and vigor, shouting the signature words that Li You personally taught, and they seemed very angry.

"Oops, I met a bandit as soon as I came up!"

Zheng Xiu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he gave Zhang Jing a vicious look.

It's all because of your nonsense, so at this time, you may even lose your life!

"I was so fascinated at the beginning that I believed in Zhang Jing..."

While Zheng Xiu was still crying, Zhang Jing greeted him with a smiling face and said, "These heroes, as the saying goes, if you want money, you don't want your life. We are willing to give the money with both hands. Can you all leave it safe?"

When he said this, Zhang Jing's heart was also thumping. To be honest, he was really afraid that the bandit in front of him would be unhappy and hack him directly.

But since Zheng Xiu was brought over by him, Zhang Jing also felt that he had to take responsibility. After all, Zheng Xiu was not only his partner, but also his friend for many years.

Who knows, the bandit in front of him waved his hand politely and said: "Misunderstanding, we mean that as long as you pay the road money, it is equivalent to buying the right to cross the great mountain road, and we will naturally send people to pass along the way. You are escorted to the territory of Youzhou."

Zhang Jing and Zheng Xiu were stunned at the same time when they heard the words, and then looked at each other in surprise!

The rumors are actually true!

This really made them overjoyed, and they felt like they had returned from hell to heaven. They immediately asked the price of the bandit, but the answer they got made them look at each other.

"The price of buying road wealth is based on the number of people in the caravan and the value of the goods, and it will gradually increase proportionally, so that it will not overburden the small caravan, and the money that should be charged to the large caravan will not be too small... Absolutely!"

Zheng Xiu blinked. He really didn't expect that the bandits now have such a complete and complete system for bribing Lu Cai.

When did even bandits become so literate?

"Yeah, this is what you get for every penny," one of the thieves said with a smile, "after all, when protecting the caravan, we need to send more people, so of course we can't let the escort brothers lose money. Yes."

It's actually very reasonable!

Zhang Jing also swallowed, thinking that this is already a super-large escort bureau, right?

After negotiating the price, both parties were very satisfied and went on the road.

Because the thieves' charges are unexpectedly reasonable, and Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing also know that the money can be earned back more than ten times after traveling to and from Youzhou, so giving a little money now can be a great value. !

Chapter 277 The Jicheng that feels at home

Soon, Jicheng, the center of Youzhou, was in sight.

Since Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing wanted to do business, of course they went to the most prosperous places—of course, most of the rest of Youzhou was more prosperous than their hometowns.

"Then we will send you here. Originally, the service ended after entering the territory of Youzhou. This is a great deal."

The bandit who escorted them said hello and was about to leave, and was greeted warmly by Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing.

All the way down, they had already lost their fear of the bandits, and they had a good chat with these bandits, and found that they were all outspoken people.

"Several big brothers walk slowly! I'll come to you next time!-"

The bandit nodded, and was about to leave when he heard Zheng Xiu say to Zhang Jing with emotion: "It's incredible to say that, even the officers and soldiers guarding can be fooled, the bandits of the great mountain road are really powerful. …”

"That's not true, we are all organized," the thief pouted. "Now we have to pay taxes when we collect money. If we don't let us go, isn't the tax paid in vain?"

"what?"

Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing both opened their mouths wide, and suddenly shrank their necks, wondering if they had heard a secret that would be silenced.

Is this tax payment... Has the collusion between the government and the bandits has become so serious! ?

"idiot!"

Hearing the words, the bandit leader came over and patted the bandit's head.

"Can this kind of thing be said clearly?"

Taking advantage of the bandit covering his head, the bandit leader smiled at Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing, who were shivering, and said, "Although it's a legitimate business that you're willing to do now, but after all, it's hard to see the light. Can you two keep your mouth shut?"

These gloomy words, combined with the scarred face of the leader of the bandit, are simply deterrent.
