MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 136

After Liu Yuru's warehouse cut the ribbon, it began to operate officially. The first batch of goods came from Youzhou. Most of this batch of goods was sent to Dongdu Shenxianxiang. Some merchants in Youzhou tentatively commissioned them to transport it.

Not to mention the transportation cost. This time, from the waterway they planned, the cost is at least 50% lower than the original, but the time is only one month.

But if something goes wrong with the first batch of goods, Liu Yuru's warehouses can only be built for their own use. If it is her own business to support so many ships, warehouses and various management costs, the cost is too high.

Since Youzhou started shipping, Liu Yuru has been following the news of this shipment.

The most worrying problem along the way is actually water thieves. To this end, Liu Yuru not only prepared a large number of people to protect the merchant ships, but also specially asked every person who built the warehouse to send money to the local water transport to do "dredging".

With the double guarantee, Liu Yuru is still a little worried. After arriving at the boundary of Youzhou, Liu Yuru couldn't sleep a little. She tossed and turned all day at night, and Gu Jiusi was aware of her anxiety.

Gu Jiusi went to oversee the river during the day, and often slept in the middle of the night to find Liu Yuru still awake, he couldn't help but feel a little headache, took the person into his arms, and said vaguely: "Auntie, I beg you , go to sleep, you can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."

"Sorry," Liu Yuru apologized, "Why don't I go to sleep next door."

"Then I won't be able to sleep anymore." Gu Jiusi sighed, he buried his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Why don't I talk to you, don't think about those things Son, just sleep. It's all about the road, you can't do anything about it."

Liu Yuru knew that Gu Jiusi was right, she turned around, reached out to hug Gu Jiusi, and said slowly, "How's the investigation on Wang Houchun's side?"

"I asked Zhao Jiu to hide first," Gu Jiusi casually followed her words, "By the way, check other people. Wang Houchun has done a lot of evil, now let him think I don't intend to touch him, relax Be vigilant, and when the investigations that should be investigated are over, I will do it all together in Yongzhou."

Liu Yuru replied, "What did Qin Nan say?"

"Shen Ming is still guarding," Gu Jiusi whispered, "He seems to be following a group of people, Shen Ming has not figured out where these people come from, those people are not Qin Nan's people, Qin Nan has not realized that he is being targeted, and it is unclear whether it is an enemy or a friend. Qin Nan should not be from Wang Siyuan's side, as for why he joined me, I still don't understand. "

The two fell asleep while talking. On the other side, in Wang Houchun's house, a man knelt on the ground and said with a worried expression: "Master Wang, I brought something."

Speaking, the man took out a letter from his pocket, Wang Houchun took the letter and said with a smile, "The seal is on?"

"It's covered." The man lowered his head and said quickly, "According to your order, an extra blank is covered."

"You worked hard."

Wang Houchun took the letter from the man. After reading it carefully, he nodded: "Come on."

After listening to his words, the man next to him came to Wang Houchun with a box. Wang Houchun squatted down and opened the box. The box was full of silver. , smiled and said: "The seals are all covered, do me a favor again?"

Hearing this, the kneeling man was stunned, Wang Houchun continued: "Tomorrow and night, the Liutong caravan's boat will pass by Liu Sanye, you send him this letter. In the past, let him call all the people in the surrounding stockades and tell them that if this batch of goods is robbed, they are all theirs, and if they can't intercept it, the government will immediately suppress the bandits, understand?"

"Big... lord!"

The man was a little anxious: "We only talked about stealing seals before, not about..."

"Do you want more money?"

Wang Houchun looked at the man, his expression froze, Wang Houchun put his hand lightly on the back of his neck, and then said, "Fate, do you still want it?"

Liu Yuru rested for the night, woke up the next day, and began to prepare ships, waiting for the caravan to enter Xingyang at night, and then change ships in Xingyang.

When it was night, Liu Yuru didn't go home, she led people to stand at the dock, waiting for the boat to enter the port. Gu Jiusi finished his errands on the river, and when he went back to take a shower and changed his clothes, he didn't see Liu Yuru coming back.

"No," Mu Nan sighed, "but the servant thought, according to the young lady's temper, he may not plan to return tonight, and it is estimated that he will not come back until the goods are delivered to Xingyang."

Gu Jiusi listened, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'll go to the pier to see."

He wore a white uniform, took the sword from the house, and led Shen Ming and Mu Nan to the backyard to get the horse. As soon as he arrived at the stables, he saw Luo Zishang was also fetching horses, Gu Jiusi couldn't help laughing: "Yo, Lord Luo, are you still up so late?"

"It's better than Lord Gu who can rely on his wife," Luo Zishang smiled, "In addition to official business, I have some business affairs to be busy with."

Gu Jiusi heard Luo Zishang's mockery, but he didn't care, and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Yes, my daughter-in-law makes a lot of money."

Luozi Shang: “…”

Shameless.

"Okay, Lord Luo, you can handle your official business," Gu Jiusi got on his horse and said happily, "As for me, I'm going to see my daughter-in-law, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Gu Jiusi led the people out of the house happily, Luo Zishang turned on his horse expressionlessly and followed behind.

Although they didn't ask each other's destination, they both knew the destination was the same. So the two rushed to the dock one after the other, and when they were about to approach, Gu Jiusi suddenly tightened the reins.

He saw Liu Yuru standing in front of the pier from a distance, she was wearing a purple robe and a white embroidered crane cape, her hair was tied behind her with a white hosta, showing her slender neck, elegant And noble, people can't take their eyes off. Jiang Feng passed by, she stood in the distance, her clothes were flying, Gu Jiusi watched quietly for a moment, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone beside him, he glanced sideways and found that it was Luo Zishang, he did not know why, but stopped , quietly looked at Liu Yuru.

Gu Jiusi suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly laughed, hearing his whisper, Luo Zishang couldn't help turning his head and frowning: "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing," Gu Jiusi explained, "I just remembered that I already have a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law is very beautiful, but you haven't married yet."

"Oh," Luo Zishang sneered, "It's extremely boring."

Gu Jiusi clicked his tongue twice: "Since you think I'm boring, why are you angry? A duplicitous person."

Luo Zishang was annoyed by what he seemed to say, and there was a coldness in his eyes, Gu Jiusi laughed and rushed forward to Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru heard the sound of hooves and turned around , and saw Gu Jiusi turn over and get off his horse, and shouted happily, "Yuru."

Liu Yuru looked for the sound, and saw Gu Jiusi wearing a white jade crown, a sword hanging from his waist, and trotting towards him.

Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing when she saw people, and when Gu Jiusi came to her, she stretched out her hand and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes for him, and said gently, "Why are you here? "

"I heard that you are guarding the goods," Gu Jiusi said happily, "I will come to accompany you."

Liu Yuru lowered her head and smiled, and was about to speak when she heard Luo Zishang's voice: "Boss Liu."

"Lord Luo is here too."

Liu Yuru was a little surprised, Luo Zishang nodded: "I heard that the goods will arrive tonight, so I'll come and have a look."

"Lord Luo has to worry about it," Liu Yuru said respectfully and politely, "But don't worry, I'm ready, and there won't be any trouble."

"It doesn't matter." Luo Zishang shook his head, "I can't let Boss Liu take care of everything alone."

The two sides chatted for a while, and then continued to wait on the pier. Gu Jiusi was there, he talked a lot, and the originally quiet pier suddenly became noisy. Liu Yuru stood by and listened to him talking and couldn't help but chuckle.

Everyone could not help frowning, Shen Ming said strangely: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Before he finished speaking, a small boat was seen on the river. The boat was lit with a light, and then someone shouted: "But Boss Liu?"

The voice was intertwined with the voice of the river, and it was not very real, but Liu Yuru was very alert, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "It's me! But the old black brother?"

Lao Hei is the person she sent to pick up people and knows the situation in Xingyang. His voice was a little hoarse and very distinctive, and Liu Yuru immediately heard it.

"It's me! Boss Liu," the boat slowly approached, and the other party's voice became clear, "Someone hijacked the boat!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuru's expression suddenly became cold, she watched the boat getting closer and closer, and said loudly: "Do you know who is coming?"

"Fourteen boats have come," Lao Hei said loudly, "Huming Mountain, headed by Liu Sanye. There are ten villages next to it, and everyone has come."

Speaking, the old black ship approached the dock. Gu Jiusi and Luo Zishang glanced at each other, Liu Yuru lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Gu Jiusi said, "I'll go to the government to call someone."

"Wait."

Liu Yuru raised her hand to stop Gu Jiusi's movements. After a while, Liu Yuru looked up at him: "You can't go to the government to call someone."

"But..."

Gu Jiusi was about to speak when she heard Shen Ming say, "Brother Jiu, you really can't go. If you go to the government and call someone, you will be using power for personal gain."

Gu Jiusi fell silent.

Shen Ming understands the truth, he naturally knows. Even though these bandits robbed Liu Yuru, it would be more justifiable for the government to send troops to suppress the bandits, but on the Xingyang site, Liu Yuru had deliberately dealt with it before, but Liu Sanye actually called ten stockades to rob Liu Yuru. This was obviously not a rush. It came with Liu Yuru.

Getting the goods back is the end of the Liutong caravan's reputation.

The first batch of goods was robbed, and it will take a long time to get them back, how can this work?

So once Gu Jiusi goes, he will inevitably have a conflict with the government and forcibly order the bandits.

Everyone was silent. After a while, Luo Zishang finally said, "Boss Liu will report to the official, and I will handle it."

This is the best way, Liu Yuru reported to the official, Luo Zishang secretly found someone to deal with this matter.

Gu Jiu thought for a while, and replied, "That's the only way."

"No." Liu Yuru categorically refused, Gu Jiusi and Luo Zishang were stunned, Luo Zishang subconsciously asked, "What do you want?"

"I'll get it."

Liu Yuru said calmly, Gu Jiusi subconsciously said: "No!"

Liu Yuru looked back at Gu Jiusi: "When I go to report to the official, I don't know whether the government will send troops, nor when the government will send troops, and once the government intervenes, I will have no chance if I think about it privately. That's it. The reporting officer is like handing over the initiative to others, I can't do that."

"Then how are you going to be private?" Gu Jiusi frowned, Liu Yuru turned her head and said slowly, "What the caravan is most afraid of is the tolls on the road. In the future, the goods will be handed over to Liu Yuru. Commercial banks are responsible for the delivery, and safety is the top concern of these employers. If I can't show the courage to keep this shipment, it will be too difficult to win the trust of major merchants in the future."

"Sister-in-law is right."

Shen Ming interjected, looked at Gu Jiusi and said: "Ninth brother, if my sister-in-law wants others to move her goods in the future, she must be like the Cao Gang and beat them to the point of fear. The government and the mountain bandits colluded, otherwise Liu Sanye couldn't call so many people."

"But..." Luo Zishang said hesitantly, and was about to dissuade him when he heard Gu Jiusi: "Then what are you going to do?"

Speaking, Lao Hei's boat came to the shore, he went ashore panting, and heard Liu Yuru say: "Lao Hei, the ship is hijacked?"

"Not yet," Lao Hei shook his head and said, "We have a lot of people, and we have a lot of goods. They can't eat this bone for a while."

"Good."

Liu Yuru nodded and said calmly: "Go back and tell the team leader that the things will be moved by Liu Sanye, and try to ensure the safety of the personnel."

"Yes."

Lao Hei responded, Liu Yuru ordered someone to **** him back, then Liu Yuru turned to look at Luo Zishang, calmly said: "Lord Luo, I have three hundred people here, may I ask you to borrow some of me?"

Luo Zishang looked at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru looked very calm, he looked into her eyes quietly, after a long time, he smiled slowly, but said: "You are really..."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and raised a finger: "One hundred."

Liu Yuru nodded, turned around and followed Yin Hong and said, "Tell Huzi to prepare people and go to Huming Mountain immediately."

"Wait," Gu Jiusi immediately said, "Are you going to hit Huming Mountain?"

"Yes." Liu Yuru said immediately, "Take down Huming Mountain and find out who is behind him. I will hand it over to the government tomorrow, and you will start handling the case."

"Okay," Gu Jiusi nodded, "I'll accompany you there."

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yuru was a little dazed, "You are a third-rank official," Liu Yuru laughed, "don't make trouble."

"I'm not only a third-grade official," Gu Jiusi pulled her with a serious look, "I'm still your husband."

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, Gu Jiusi turned her face, and said with Shen Ming, "Call the people on my side and prepare with Huzi."

"In that case," Luo Zishang laughed aside, "Let's join in the fun."

Luo Zishang finished his voice, and turned around to instruct others to start preparations. When Liu Yuru came back to her senses, she looked at Gu Jiusi helplessly and sighed, "You can do it."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yuru stepped out and said loudly, "Call the Master, go!"

As she spoke, she hurried to the front of the horse, and after turning over on the horse, she led the people out like an arrow from a string.

She went from the pier to Huming Mountain, Yin Hongmunan and others turned back to the city, called everyone, and rushed out of the city to Huming Mountain.

Wang Siyuan and Wang Houchun didn't sleep. The two played games in the house. The housekeeper came in and said respectfully, "Sir, many people from Liutong's shop have left the city tonight."

Hearing this, Wang Houchun laughed: "What's the use of the past now?"

Speaking, he dropped the pawn: "The goods are gone."

"She didn't report to the official." Wang Siyuan said calmly, "Will there be something wrong?"

"I thought I could save myself," Wang Houchun glanced at Wang Siyuan, "don't worry, when she comes back, she will come to report to the official. Then let's delay, Gu Jiusi should come forward When he comes forward to settle the matter, we will join him and deal with him directly."

Hearing this, Wang Siyuan looked up at Wang Houchun: "You boy," he said with a smile, "Ghost spirit."

As they spoke, they both laughed.

And Liu Yuru led the people all the way to the foot of Huming Mountain. After waiting for a while, the follow-up people came.

Her people plus Luo Zishang and Gu Jiusi's people, a total of nearly 500 people, all waiting at the foot of the mountain. Liu Yuru called Shen Ming over: "Can this kind of stockade be attacked?"

Shen Ming raised his head and looked at it seriously, nodded and said, "There is no one now, so you can go up the mountain."

Liu Yuru was relieved after hearing this, she said to Shen Ming, "You command."

Shen Ming responded, Liu Yuru turned her head to look at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone obey Shen Gongzi's orders, go up the mountain!"

After finishing speaking, everyone rushed up the mountain in unison under the command of Shen Ming.

Liu Yuru, Gu Jiusi, and Luo Zishang were at the back, watching the two sides fight.

At this moment, most of the people in Huming Mountain haven't come back yet. Only some basic people are left on the mountain to control the defense. Liu Yuru took all the horses and captured Huming with little effort. Mountain. At this moment, there were only some old and weak women and children left on the mountain. Liu Yuru asked them to put them all together, and then asked Shen Ming to take people to restore the organs at the bottom of the mountain, and then led Gu Jiusi, Luo Zishang and others to wait. in the lobby.

Not long after, there was a noise from the bottom of the mountain, Liu Yuru's people all hid in the dark, listening to the noise from the bottom of the mountain getting closer.

"I didn't expect the sheep to be so fat this time."

Liu Yuru heard someone say: "I really want to thank Butler Fu for tipping off the letter. I knew that Liutong's store had so many goods this time, and I couldn't let go of how much money I gave."

"Silly," said another humane, "with so many goods, that owner will only make such preparations. Now that the robbery is so easy, I still feel chills in my heart. Will they make a move? The caravans of these rich people will never deal with the government at all, will they?"

"Who knows?" Another voice sounded, with a little worry, "We don't have to choose anyway, right?"

As soon as the words were finished, the footsteps outside stopped, and a voice said: "Do you think something is wrong? Since we went up the mountain to now..."

The man suddenly said, "Where is the guard's brother?!"

"Go to bed... It's so late. The two people on the watchtower are still there."

"No, that's not right," said the humane who found something wrong at first: "How long has it been since the two brothers in Wanglou have changed their postures?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man seemed to have reacted to something, raised his voice suddenly, and shouted: "Go! There is an ambush!"

As soon as the voice fell, arrows were shot around, and there was screaming outside.

Liu Yuru sat upright on the lobby, she held up a tea cup from the side, the whole lobby lit up, and a female voice came out calmly from the lobby.

"Liu Sanye." The girl was gentle and calm. In this chaos of soldiers, there was an unexpected magical and calming power. The moment the sound appeared, the arrow suddenly disappeared. After stopping, Liu Sanye led the person and held the knife, and turned his head blankly.

Then he saw that in the brightly lit lobby, the red carpet was spread all the way from the door to the end, and at the end, a woman in purple and white sat on the golden chair directly above.

She was born soft, not a kind of aggressive beauty, but a kind of graceful and dignified like a crane, like a water hibiscus, in this dark and barbaric, noble and gentle blooming Come.

There are two men standing behind her on the left and right, one in white with a golden crown and a sword hanging from his waist, the other in a blue shirt and brocade robe, holding a small golden fan, they are all unparalleled in the world.

And above her head, a plaque with gold characters on a black background hangs in the main hall, and reads: Shunchang is defeated.

It was originally written and hung on it by himself, but at this moment, under the plaque, there was a woman sitting there, he couldn't help being a little stunned, and at this moment, he heard The woman said calmly, "Come in and have a cup of tea."

Liu Sanye's eyes were cold, he squeezed the knife tightly, and said nervously: "Where are the other people in the stockade?"

"Alive."

Liu Yuru knew what he cared about, and said lightly: "I won't attack the elderly, young, women and children for no reason."

"Who are you?"

Liu Sanye continued to ask, Liu Yuru smiled lightly, and she looked up at him: "I robbed my goods, but now you come to ask me who I am? Liu Sanye, you are really doing things. Not at all concerned."

Hearing this, Liu Sanye was shocked: "You...you belong to Liutong Trading..."

"Liu Yuru, the head of Xia Liutong Commercial Bank," Liu Yuru put down the quilt in her hand, stood up slowly, folded her hands in front of her, nodded slightly towards Liu Sanye, and said in a salute, "I have seen Master Liu."
