"General, how would I dare to play with you, and even more so, I wouldn't dare to lie to you. What I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, come with me to take a look. An hour ago, a big customer came to the carriage shop and said that he wanted to transport a batch of goods to the south. He was very generous and offered a price 10% higher than usual. After asking the main family, I sold all these carriages to him, mainly to form a good relationship!”
"Although that person was dressed like an ordinary person, he couldn't hide his military aura. Therefore, I suspect that the other party is from the south, so I don't dare to offend him. General, you should know that the southern side is about to attack us. Who would dare to find trouble with them at this time? Stroking their beards, unless they don't want to live anymore. With our small arms and legs, how would we dare to disagree?”
The shopkeeper said this to raise the flag of the tiger. Now the entire Beiping knew that the people from the south were coming. Didn't they see that the Northeast Army had already run away? It was not an exaggeration to say that they were jittery at this time. No one dared to risk their lives to offend those people in the south. After all, if they were to settle accounts later, they would definitely not be able to escape. Moreover, there was no way to verify this matter. Only by doing so could the other party have some misgivings.
When the officer heard the shopkeeper's words, his anger dropped from full to zero. This matter actually involved those people in the south. He had no choice but to consider carefully. Even his current commanding officer was trying to pull strings, and Bajie could not avoid those people, let alone a small shrimp like him. However, just hearing her lips move had scared him back. If word got out, it would be too embarrassing. Fortunately, the other party had also found a way out for him, so there was no need for him to hold on to it. It was the right way to go down the stairs.
"Alright, I'll go to the city gate first to see if I can find a carriage to Beiping City. If I can find it, I'll ask the other party to take it along the way. If not, I'll come back and book it from you. Since that's the case, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.”
As soon as the officer stood up, the shopkeeper immediately stood up and came to the other party's side. He secretly placed a bag of money in the other party's hand. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Everything was in their eyes.
"General, I'll send someone to follow you to the city gate to see if you can find it. If you can't find it, work overtime tonight to finish the carriage so that it won't delay your use tomorrow. As for the rental fee for this carriage, I'll directly exempt you from it. Consider it a small apology from me. General, I hope that you can forgive me and take care of our carriages in the future!”
"Not bad, kid. You know when to stop and when to retreat. There are fewer and fewer sensible people like you these days. Don't worry. In the entire county, no matter how big the matter is, I can take care of it for you. I have people above me. Do you know the leader of the security team? That's my brother-in-law. In this county, who doesn't give him some face? I don't want to talk to you anymore. I still have things to do!”
The shopkeeper sent the officer to the gate and watched him get on his horse and drive towards the city gate. After the other party disappeared from sight, he immediately ordered someone to wait at the city gate to see if the general could find the carriage. He could not let go of the promise just now.
Soldiers were not to be trifled with these days, not to mention that the other party was an officer. Looking at the military uniform that the kid was wearing just now, it was not the uniform of the security regiment at all, but the uniform of the regular army. In addition, he had a relationship with the head of the security regiment of the county. In this small area, the head of the security regiment was not to be offended. Otherwise, there would be countless small shoes for him to wear in the future. If the boss knew that he had neglected the other party, he would definitely not forgive him. He might even be used as a scapegoat. In any case, it was not his own money that was spent. It was the boss's money. There was no need to bring trouble to himself.
After arranging this matter, the shopkeeper hummed a tune and walked into the carriage shop. He was very happy. This time, he could easily put 600 yuan in his pocket from this transaction, which was equivalent to his annual salary. Where else could he find such a good thing? He really hoped that there would be a few more such fools, and it would be best if they came in a dozen at once. With so much money, he would no longer have to work for others. He would go to the countryside to buy some land and be a landlord. His life would be much happier than now.
However, it was just a thought. How many years did it take for such a fool to appear? It was just a fantasy just now. However, he was about to get 600 yuan. He could be free for a while again. Tonight, Cui Hua Lou would be leaving!
……
"Aiya, I'm so hungry! He had only eaten breakfast and had not eaten lunch yet. He had been busy just now and did not feel anything! Now that he was relaxed, his stomach was growling and he was even a little dizzy! Sigh, I wonder where we are now and how far we are from the Lin Manor? It was impossible to stop before they reached the Lin Manor. No one knew what the situation in the Lin Manor was like now.”
Suppressing the hunger in his stomach, Lin Yuanshan opened the curtain on the carriage window and looked outside. He saw the endless fields around him. The carriage drove on the small road, raising a cloud of dust. What was even worse was that he and these soldiers did not know where the Lin Family Village was at all. They could only follow the direction of the main group. Although Lin Yuanshan had been to the Lin Family Manor when he was young, he had been staying in the Lin Mansion in the county town since he was three years old. He had never been to the Lin Family Manor in the countryside. Naturally, he had no impression of the road to the Lin Family Manor. He could only order someone to go ahead and ask to see how far it was to the Lin Family Manor.
After receiving the order, Number Six, who was guarding the carriage, rushed forward. From afar, he saw the other party asking the coachman of a carriage. The two of them chatted for a while before Number Six turned around and headed towards Lin Yuanshan's carriage. When they arrived in front of Lin Yuanshan's carriage, the other party blurted out the news he had heard.
"Sir, I asked the driver in front of us. He told me that we are about ten miles away from the Lin Family Manor. It will take about 35 minutes for the carriage to reach the Lin Family Manor. From here to the Lin Family Manor, the road conditions were not very good. The speed of the carriage could not be increased, so it would take some effort.”
"Alright, I got it! Pass on my orders. Inform the people in front to speed up. Don't worry about the horses and carriages. Try to arrive in fifteen minutes. There are some things that we have to arrange in advance. We still need to send people to receive the grain convoy. "So we don't have much time left. We still have to build a simple defense in the Lin family's old residence today. There are too many things to do. The earlier we arrive, the safer we will be!”
"Yes, sir! I'll go and pass on the order now."
……
Two hours ago, when Lin Yunhai saw Number One, he gradually understood that today's incident was definitely not an accident. His young master must have sensed something and could not wait to make a move on the grain trading company. According to the conversation between the two sides this morning, they shouldn't have acted so quickly, unless those shopkeepers and stewards had gone too far in some matters and caused a strong rebound from their young master.
Coupled with the appearance of a few soldiers from the Lin family today and the Lin family's guards, his young master's strength had risen to another level. He had completely suppressed the second and third families. That group of people was really incompetent and always had a knack for messing things up. They had done a lot of bullsh * t things on a daily basis. At this time, they should admit defeat and hand over a little benefit to fool them. They should not cause more trouble.
"This time, the young master asked the guards to capture the families of those people. I reckon that those people's faces have offended the young master greatly. He couldn't get anything useful from them, so he could only use their families as threats. Originally, this move was a good move, but the mistake was that there was a spy inside. He had also received a lot of benefits from the grain trading company in the past two years, so he still had to protect this group of people. However, he still had to do what he had to do. Otherwise, he would have a bad reputation as a weak master and a strong servant, which would add some variables to his future plans.”
"I guess this matter is just a child's hot-headedness. Since that's the case, I'll accompany him and put on a good show. However, the other party was currently in a fit of anger. If he did not do as the other party said, the relationship between the two sides would immediately become estranged. Once this estrangement was formed, it would be difficult to eliminate it. Moreover, the other party had a new force in his hands.”
"Although it's weaker than the power in my hands, I can't underestimate it. In history, those famous officials and generals often fell into inconspicuous small details. Since I've decided to continue using the Lin family, I have to do what I should do. Moreover, I have to do it flawlessly and flawlessly so that no one can find fault with me. Otherwise, it would only attract more attacks and suspicions, and it would even make it difficult for the plan to continue.”
“……”
Lin Yunhai thought about some of the key points and understood that he could not be vague about this matter. He had to support Lin Yuanshan clearly. Otherwise, the entire Lin family would be in chaos. Once the Lin family's guards were involved, many of the following operations would be impossible to carry out, let alone cooperate with those bandits.
"Big Mountain, pass on my orders. Get everyone in the guards to be on high alert and strictly carry out the orders. Capture all the family members of the managers and shopkeepers and send them to the Lin family. No matter what relationship you have with them, you have to show this attitude now. As for the safety of these people, I can give you a promise. I will do my best to ensure their safety!”
