C53 Taiping Road Robbery

Qing Dynasty's one tael of gold was about 35 grams, and ten thousand taels was about 350 kilograms. Right now, there was a total of 700 kilograms of precious metals that had been stolen by someone, moreover, it was taken by one person. This kind of thing was incomprehensible to Xiao Letian.

"Are you saying that a masked man suddenly rushed out from the forest of Taiping Road and subdued all of you with a bowl of tea? Then, you placed the silver into two mouths, and each carried the silver away? " Xiao Letian asked with a guilty conscience, that was a 15 man silver team, they were subdued just like that?

In the forest on the west side of Taiping Road, a group of people knelt down. In the middle of the group were the fifteen Soldiers who had lost their silver. Under Xiao Letian's questioning, these men's faces turned red with embarrassment as they almost went to find a hole to hide in.

Right now, the two furnaces on the roof were extremely short of silver, Fan Lian had no choice but to use his contacts in the Beijing to create a large amount of treasures in the treasury.

As the capital, the Northern Capital City had always been the main dumping ground for the cultural relic market. Whether it was to buy a few to rush into one's own clan or to trade for a few to take a look at the back doors of the higher officials, good Baby never worried about being sold.

No matter what pearl jade treasure you are, or what antique calligraphy and painting you are, or whether you are made of gold and silver or porcelain, as long as it is real, you don't have to worry about the silver. Furthermore, Fan Sai Manager had a wide network of people, and there was a lot of Friends in the Liu-Li Factory.

Xiao Letian did not sell them for money just to enjoy himself. He did it for the sake of the silver furnace in the Taibai Top, so the treasures must be exchanged for real Silver s in the Northern Capital City. But when the Silver accumulated more, transportation would become a problem. 10,000 taels was 350 kilograms, 100,000 taels was equivalent to 3 and a half tons, such a large scale transfer of silver was simply too eye-catching.

Because of this, a team of five and a half people from Taibai Top was specially established to transport silver. Each team would transport about twenty thousand silver taels at once, and each person would carry an average of about fifty kilograms of weight.

Since the establishment of the Silver Carrying Company, they had successfully sent over eighty thousand Current silver to the village, and not a single one of them had met with mishap. However, today, a bizarre robbery that left everyone dumbfounded had occurred.

"Military Advisor, our death sentence …" The leading officer knocked his head on the ground and whimpered, "Taiping Road's forest has always been our resting place, but today, just as we were taking off our bags of silver and preparing to drink some water, a person suddenly flew out from the direction of the forest …"

In my entire life, I have never seen such a powerful movement technique. Like a gust of wind, it charged into the Team, and before I could pull the blade out, I was already on the ground after getting hit by it … "

"I was standing at the very end of Team, and I clearly saw the whole process. That Black Man only used his hand blade, swinging it left and right in the middle of Wu Tie's blade, and hitting every single part of his hand onto the same spot on his neck. As long as he got beaten up until he passed out …"

"I... I was the last one, so I thought I was going to get beaten up as well. I had already pulled out all my knife, so even if I was the only one left, I would still fight him with all my might … " At this time, the petite man suddenly said in a very shameful tone, "But he didn't attack me, he only used the scabbard to knock away my weapon. This subordinate was incompetent and used the scabbard to restrain him …"

The little guy, Soldiers, seemed to be ashamed that he didn't faint along with everyone else. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Military Advisor..." Black Man packed all the silver into two big boxes, and carried one on his shoulder into the forest. "But before he left, he left me a message …"

At this time, Soldiers was a little hesitant. Xiao Letian stared into his eyes and said, "Speak!" "Black Man said that if you want these silver, let Xiao Letian go into the forest alone, and you can find him when you reach the west side of the mountain and the stream …"

Xiao Letian did not say anything to urge the horse to go into the woods, but Sima Yun and the other Liu steelers grabbed the reins and refused to let him in.

"No, absolutely not. Wang Huaiyuanson's death order was absolute, and no danger would ever let Mr. Xiao near. Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan have already brought their men in. mister, you just have to wait for the news... "If you force your way in, we'll die here …"

Xiao Letian was sweating profusely. No matter how he pulled the reins, he couldn't get out of the human circle. In the end, he couldn't even get off the horse anymore.

"Bastard, let go of Laozi. Don't you understand this? The person who robbed the way isn't here for money, he wants to see me, he wants to use the silver to lure me out. [You guys, Bastard, have been looking at me to death every day. That's why this guy made such a move …] "Out of the way, all of you, get out of the way …"

Wu Tie would rather endure being whipped than to let go of Xiao Letian. Soon, they gathered around Xiao Letian, making the blue and white horses cry out loud.

Just when the scene was in a mess, a loud laugh suddenly came from the forest, "Hahaha, Alone overseasanggang is so gutsy?" You don't even dare meet anyone? "To tell you the truth, Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan's lives are in my hands. If you want to save them, then come in by yourself …"

"It's Xiang Shaolong!" Northern Sun Steel and Wu Steel... "You bunch of Bastard, quickly let go. I'm not in danger, since he released me last time, he has no ill intentions towards me …" Xiao Letian used all his strength to push the horse forward, and with a whip, he finally broke open a hole.

Daqing turned and ran towards the sparse forest, followed by a group of Soldiers and his girls.

The Taiping Road belonged to the place where the plains and mountains intersected. To the east was the vast North China Plains, and to the west were many hills. In the distance, even the Taihang Mountains could see the towering figure of a person.

The forest grew denser and denser. Ten minutes later, Xiao Letian finally saw a living person. A dejected Soldiers was tied to a tree trunk.

"Military Advisor!" "Why are you here, you can't go in. It's Xiang Shaolong, he's the one who took the silver …" Xiao Letian didn't even pay attention to him, he just waved his hand and told Sun Tie, who was behind him, to untie the rope.

The deeper they went in, the more Xiao Letian became surprised. He discovered that Xiang Shaolong was simply an expert in wild battles in the forest. The Zhou Steel that Wang Huaiyuan and the others brought had almost been cleaned up by all kinds of traps.

Some were knocked out on the ground, some were hanging upside down in midair by tree vines, some were tied to tree trunks, and there were even some who had their legs sprained from the simple fall of a horse pit … When he finally saw the river in the depths of the forest, he finally saw Xiang Shaolong himself.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong had already started lighting up a bunch of bonfire s. The two people tied up beside the fire were Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan, while Liu Tie was concentrating on forking at the fish swimming in the river.

"Ai …" Master Xiao, a few more forks will be enough for us to roast. "Don't look at how thin the fish is in the beginning of spring, but the taste is the best. After eating it and gaining strength …" Xiang Shaolong didn't even look back as he said that, as if he didn't know that he was surrounded by 40 to 50 strong men.

Xiao Letian dismounted and walked over to the campfire. He sat on the silver box and casually picked up Xiang Shaolong's treasured blade. A cold light flashed and a sharp blade appeared in front of Xiao Letian. "If even an ignorant person like me can tell that it's good, then it must be a good blade …" With that, he took the knife and cut off Xiao Hexin's and Wang Huaiyuan's rope.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward now. Everyone in Xiang Shaolong had already been released, even his weapon was in Xiao Letian's hands. Right now, the only weapon that he could be considered a decent weapon was the sharp wooden stick in his hand.

Xiao Letian waved his hand. This time, underhand didn't stop them and they all backed away ten steps to form a circle as they stared at Xiang Shaolong vigilantly.

"Alright, these few fish are enough for us to have a taste …" With that, Xiang Shaolong sat on the other silver box and started to clean up the fresh fish.

"I am convinced. I never thought that Mr. Xiao would be even braver than the heavens, actually colluding with bandit's private silver coin? "The white silver ocean is flowing into your pocket like seawater. Although I'm an amateur, I know a business that Mr. Xiao cares about must be a huge business deal. I wonder how much this business deal will earn."

Xiao Letian was like a child playing with the treasured blade passed down in Xiang Shaolong's family. He didn't even think about it, "That was simply a waste of money. If we collected the scattered silver from the common folk, it would earn us 30% of the profit. You give me 10,000 taels, and I will definitely return you 13,000 taels of native silver coin …"

"What's wrong? Dragon Lord is interested... That's easy, go and collect the scattered silver. When the time comes, we'll split the profits, even if it's six or four of us … "

Speaking of which, Xiang Shaolong's expression suddenly became lonely, "Mr. Xiao is rich, but my home is gone." I had managed the Xiang Jia Village for three generations, and in the end, the Tarantula was burned into a wasteland, so I was even charged with the crime of using bandit as a scapegoat … It's really hard to explain the different situations and situations in one's life! "

Hearing that, Xiao Letian laughed, "Haha, how can Dragon Lord not see this coming? You should have thought of it when you took the deal that killed me. "Kill me, the Taibai Top's Brothers will definitely slaughter your Xiang Jia Village to avenge me, you didn't kill me, but in the end, your employer also wanted to kill you in order to keep your mouth shut, this fate has long been decided …"

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this business is too unprofitable. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, my Xiang Family will be in trouble. There's no other way. You guys are both great figures. I overestimated my status before. "How can a little green woodsman be a match for you guys …"

"However, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for Master Xiao's righteous action to inform us in advance, our Xiang Jia Village would really be annihilated. To be able to escape with his life, that would be the luckiest thing that could happen …"

Xiao Letian had never stopped spying on Xiang Shaolong. He knew that everyone in Xiang Jia Village had safely moved outside the entrance. With Dragon Lord's connections, hiding a few hundred people was not a problem. However, Xiang Shaolong himself had gone missing from Xiao Letian's information network. Even Chun Shisanniang of the Capital City did her best to not find him, but she never expected that Dragon Lord was hiding in the Beijing.

"Dragon Lord, what are your plans? Are you planning to wander off like this?" Let me be honest with you, when firearms become more powerful, it will become more and more difficult for people like you to survive. Xiao Letian earnestly advised.

"Oh? Master Xiao, do you have any ingenious methods to guide me? " Xiang Shaolong stuck the clean fish on both sides of the fire and asked without raising his head.

From today on, I will hire you as my personal bodyguard. With a monthly salary of 1000 Ocean s, you will work for a full ten years, then you will be rewarded with a manor with 500 mu of land. Then you will be rewarded with another ten years, then you will be rewarded with a manor with 1000 mu of land. "Oh forget it, you should retire after thirty years …"

"Alright, I'll be a bit more magnanimous. You have protected me for 30 years, so not only will I raise your wages every year, I'll also give you a two-thousand-acre manor. How about it?"

Xiang Shaolong did not expect Xiao Letian to be so generous. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Dragon Lord was a little stunned, "Are you trying to trick me using the land of prairie that you know nothing about?"

"Look at what you're saying, what I'm giving you is definitely a watering ground on the plain. Is that enough?"

"No, it's not enough …" Xiang Shaolong suddenly stood up, scaring dozens of Soldiers to the point that they drew their sabers and were about to fight. However, Xiao Letian waved his hand and stopped them.

"If Dragon Lord has any conditions, then speak …"
