Yan Laoer secretly opened the letter.
See above it says:
Dad!
er has taken down the coal convoy!
Yan’s second son: …
Surprised or not? Are you happy?
Yan’s second child: It’s true that I was a little frightened.
After that, Yan Yu talked about the process of the battle.
... After meeting Beirong and Xizhou, they left without making a deal, but met in one place, and we took advantage of this moment to take them down in one fell swoop.
Bei Rong killed all of them, and no one survived.
Xizhou soldiers stayed temporarily and took prisoners, none of them escaped.
Uncle Luo has brought the captives back to the place where we rested before.
I think it’s better to keep these Xizhou soldiers, they may be useful in the future...
But how to deal with it, I am still a little undecided, I want to hear your opinion, Dad, and uncle, I have sent someone back to deliver the letter, although the errands are slower, but Jiuxiao has just been tamed, so quickly I can find the right place to deliver the letter, let alone others, even I don't believe it.
Yan Laoer nodded secretly, he also thought the same way, so he hid every time when Jiuxiaofei came, for fear of being seen.
That's why he didn't dare to report to his son that his daughter led the militia to do such a big thing.
What do you want him to say, saying that he and Xiao Er have been communicating frequently?
Can't explain clearly!
Father, there is one more thing. After interrogation, it was learned that Xizhou is not the only convoy. Beibei wants to trade a large amount of coal this time, bringing cattle, horses, people, and leather goods...
Yan Lao Er was taken aback for a while, and was particularly focused when he saw this place.
His daughters understood him, and the numbers were clearly listed.
After seeing his daughter, he continued to write:
The ratio of the Beirong-Xizhou trade is roughly... I have confirmed from the captive that there is another coal convoy scheduled to arrive early tomorrow morning.
Dad!
God-sent opportunity! !
Yan Er Er felt her excitement from the number of exclamation marks in his daughter.
I was wondering how to cover up the coal robbery so that Xizhou would not suspect us.
Isn’t it here?
Bei Rong turned against each other, black hearted zero yuan to buy, grab Xizhou coal, what do you think?
Hahaha! I feel wonderful!
Xizhou will not admit the crime of adultery with foreigners.
They were robbed by Bei Rong, how dare they make it public?
The mine is a private mine, and the reason for transporting coal here is even more unclear. They probably dare not mention the word Beirong. This is a bad debt, and they can only bear to swallow it.
As for confronting Beirong?
Let's not worry.
All the people in Beirong died, and all the cattle, sheep, people, and leather goods they brought were gone. Wouldn’t Beirong suspect that Xizhou was doing bad things?
No matter how we suspect it, we can’t get it out of our head.
After all, our grandson in Guanzhou is still in Xizhou begging to buy high-priced coal!
We have handled the scene with care. Right now, the wind is heavy and the snow is heavy. It passed overnight without a trace.
Dad, do you think God is helping us?
So Dad, we have changed into Beirong clothes, hehehe, you know what to do, and when another coal convoy arrives tomorrow, we will kill them.
Rest assured, let them come and go.
No one can escape from Jiuxiao's pursuit, we Jiuxiao are great!
By the way, Dad, I plan to write a letter to my mother to report her safety. Do you have a letter to send back, let Jiuxiao bring it back and I will post it together...
Yan's second child laughed, he really used Jiuxiao as a postman.
He looked at the very handsome goshawk, who was looking around vigilantly, guarding against anyone approaching.
Finally, Dad, be careful!
Yan Laoer wrote a reply in a hurry, some to his daughter, and some to his family leader, carefully tied it to Jiuxiao's leg, and stroked its feathers.
"Go!"
…
"Brother Zhou, you see we came all the way here, and the other end of the house is still waiting to be used, so you can help us out by bagging us first?" Yan Laoer groped to find Manager Zhou, his face full of tears. Laughing, my heart hurts like a panic, but the movement of stuffing the money bag is still so neat.
Yan Laoer kept building himself up in his heart: don't feel bad or not, his daughter's hair is dead, it's not bad.
This is a mine in the suburbs.
It is also a coal mine registered by the government.
There is an iron mine not far from the left, which is also an official mine.
The capital city of Xizhou was established for this reason to facilitate the management of transportation.
Steward Zhou followed Yan Lao Er's instructions and frowned slightly.
"Brother Yan, wait a moment, I'll go and ask about the situation first." Manager Zhou said.
Yan's second child naturally nodded in agreement.
The line of sight has been following closely.
Seeing steward Zhou calling another junior steward, his expression was very stern, as if he would reprimand him immediately.
The little steward looked at him subconsciously with a bitter face.
kept explaining something.
What's interesting is that this little steward is a person with a very rich body language, so let's talk when he speaks. He not only moves his mouth, but also covers his hands and gestures.
Yan's second half guessed and guessed, and probably restored some.
Where should a batch of coal need to be transported, because these people came early, do you think they are making trouble in the mine? In short, it affects the speed of their coal loading.
Yan's second child pouted.
Really wronged!
They obviously didn't do anything well.
The big guys offered to help when they arrived.
Finally saw coal, as if seeing my own relatives, so happy!
It’s the people in this mine, everyone’s work is too boring.
He didn't let them help, pretended to be slow, and saw that they were so anxious, that's why Yan Lao Er asked Guanshi Zhou again to ask them to speed up.
Do you think he loves giving money?
Isn't this forced to fail!
What the hell, from top to bottom in Xizhou, it can be said that the word "dragging" has been fully understood.
What Yan Laoer didn't know was that he had wronged him.
The little steward doesn’t want to hurry up?
He was thinking so anxiously that he was about to die!
"Boss, you forgot, the coal we prepared for this trip is going to be taken away... The military master who escorted it has already arrived, and he is waiting outside. Who knew that the people from Guanzhou came so early, so they blocked us. It’s inconvenient for the soldiers to come in, we don’t have enough cars, this is the problem, seeing that tomorrow morning is the appointed time, I’m so worried!”
The little steward didn't dare to blame the superiors for their lack of careful arrangements, but he could only blame the people from Guanzhou for coming too early.
He inquired all about it, the prince was talking about tomorrow, and Manager Zhou explained that it was evening, how could it be afternoon for these Guanzhou people!
It was also because of his guilty conscience, knowing that the target of the transaction was Bei Rong, he was frightened to death, thinking that he would smuggle the mines as before, but he didn't expect it to fall on them this time.
Transporting coal from the official mine... His guts are going to be scared out of his wits!
Steward Zhou raised his eyes and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? On the contrary, there is no silver three hundred taels here. Do we need to explain to them the Guanzhou people where we want to transport coal in Xizhou? We transport ours, and they pull theirs." , the two have nothing to do with each other, but you are cowardly, if you miss the time and make a mistake, can you bear it?!"
"It's all the little one's fault, the little one is going to call someone..." The little steward nodded and bowed with a bitter face.
Manager Zhou was also concerned about the presence of Guanzhou people here, so he didn't train him too hard, he just made a note of this guy in his heart, hum! Useless!
How could Yan Laoer get him to say it, and immediately said sincerely: "Brother Zhou, look at our people, whether there is any individual ability, but they can work, isn't it a waste to let people like us do nothing? If you treat me as a brother, just use it. Then whoever, hurry up and call someone over to help, first help the brothers in Xizhou to load their coal, and then ours. I have been waiting for several days. It’s not a short time. , let’s stay up all night, hey, I don’t need this little work, it will be done in a few minutes, you said Brother Zhou, your brothers in Xizhou are also polite, you don’t need us, politeness is nothing outsider..."
Yan Laoer shouted and greeted people, assigned them here, placed them there, and the assignment was finished after three or two clicks.
Guanzhou people work hard and spare no effort.
This strength is really visible to the naked eye.
The corner of Zhou Guanshi's mouth twitched, so he had to admit it.
Let's do it, it's too early to finish.
Looking at the simplicity of the Guanzhou man, it doesn't seem like he can tell anything.
Besides, what they did was to transport coal out of the mine.
Who knows where they are going? Who to sell to? !
Steward Zhou stared at it for a while, seeing that the people from the relevant states joined in, the speed really accelerated, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Even his brother Yan ran over, rolled up his sleeves and started working.
It can be seen that it is really urgent.
When the mind is relaxed, one becomes sleepy.
Seeing that nothing happened, Manager Zhou found a place to rest.
Sleeping is not daring to sleep to death, just squint for a while, take a nap.
Another one, it's really too cold outside.
He had only stood for a while, and his feet were about to freeze.
Yan's second child was secretly staring at the steward that week.
Seeing that he went to the house to warm up, he put down the thing in his hand, and walked around pretending to be a supervisor.
Picking faults here, and shouting hard there.
But it is coal that has been bagged close to here without a trace.
One walk is not enough, walk two more laps.
After three laps, he can roughly count how many bags of coal there are.
Really, Yan Er felt that he might be overthinking.
But in his heart, he faintly felt that it was just what he guessed.
This time, this amount.
This Xizhou...wouldn't be so bold, would he?
Transport coal from the official mine and trade with Beirong? ! !
However, considering that King Qi may have even more exaggerated big ideas, these are not difficult to understand.
Compared with rebellion, selling coal to foreign enemies is nothing!
The crown prince is not here, but Guanshi Yan is quite easy to speak.
Hearing that he wants to follow these convoys loaded with coal, and see which direction they are going.
The person who was found didn't say anything, and took the order to leave.
Yan's second son and the rest of the people loaded the car until midnight before he ran back in the snow.
Xizhou soldiers really didn't even bother to turn a corner, probably because they didn't think that the group of idiot presidents in Guanzhou had such a mind, and they went straight to the agreed trading place.
Yan Laoer's face was a little grim, and he asked about how many people were in the **** convoy.
Finally relieved.
This kind of person, his daughter can eat.
But the coal they are currently loading has a big problem.
The number is not enough!
Yan's second child is really irritable.
It’s so expensive, it’s not enough, Xizhou...it’s too deceitful!
The entire mine was just coal, so much coal was taken away, and they bagged all the rest, not even half of it!
The little steward saw the situation and quickly hid.
Signal everyone to go back and rest.
As soon as the people from Xizhou withdrew, the entire mine was empty, and they were the only ones left.
"Guan Yan, can we go back tomorrow?"
Except for Yan Lao Er, no one found anything wrong. Although they worked hard, the coal was pulled home. What's wrong with the little effort, let them watch it. Going back, they couldn't be happier.
"That's right, it's still Guan Yan who is good at things, or we have to wait another day."
Old Yan thought that if he waited another day, the mine would not be able to collect enough coal for them to buy.
It doesn't matter whether King Qi is illiterate or intentional.
The most important thing now is to inform the son of this matter and discuss countermeasures.
He looked at the happy men around him, couldn't bear to tell them the truth, and said: "You are here to guard our coal, I will go back and report to the prince."
"Go, go, Guanshi Yan, don't worry, we must be optimistic about it, and make sure that there are not many bags."
Yan Laoer was worried, and took advantage of the darkness of night to ride the three treasures and gallop all the way.
The crown prince didn't live in the city, and he was also anxious. He found an inn outside the city, so that it was convenient for people to send messages back and forth.
It is already late at night, and it will be dawn soon.
When Yan's second son came back at this time, Shi Yunyan felt a little bad.
After hearing Yan Laoer finish talking about the lack of coal in the mine, Shi Yunyan only felt bitter in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were burning hot.
"Hold the book, pack your things, let's go to the mine!"
Shi Yunyan doesn't care much right now, he wants to go to the mine in person and check bag by bag to see how much is missing!
He became ruthless and decided to live in the mine.
So that Uncle King Qi knows that his nephew is not easy to deal with.
If you don’t give enough, he will stay in the mine and never leave!
…
Yan's second child is also depressed.
After returning to the mine with Shizi, not only did they not stop them, but they called for people to move around with great fanfare.
number!
It's a huge number!
Counted, let's see what Xizhou people say!
At that time, Yunyan's face was as heavy as water, and the Guanzhou soldiers who stayed behind realized that something was wrong. If the prince wanted to count, there was no need to come in person, just order the people below.
It won't be the way it is now.
This is obviously very angry.
Someone secretly asked about the book and learned the reason.
Almost exploded my lungs!
Yan's second child was walking around the mine in a fretful manner.
The wind and snow slapped him **** the face.
He himself gave himself a sudden and severe slap.
"Yan Lao Er, Yan Lao Er, this is a lesson, no matter how much money opens the way, there are times when it doesn't work!"
An evil fire ignited.
Yan's second son was shocked by the small steward of the mine.
I was caught out from under the blanket, and asked fiercely, "How much coal can you mine in a day? Tell me!"
The little steward saw that his eyes were red and his face was full of ferocity. He was frightened to death, and reported the number without any concealment. This is an official mine, and they dare not falsify the number of mines.
The batch of coal traded with Beirong will be replenished from the private mine afterwards, but it is only temporarily embezzled. On the books, they are clean and can't find any mistakes.
"That's...that's..." The little steward stuttered.
"What is it?" Yan Laoer asked in a rough voice.
"We can't...can't dig in this mine in winter!"
It’s August, please guarantee the monthly pass~ hehehe~(ω)~
