Chapter 26: Sending money is expensive
Annan pouted.
"Humph, old man, who are you fooling? I'm afraid you'll die on my bed."
He returned to the room, climbed onto the bed, and gently pinched her pretty face.
"Not sleeping yet."
Lin Yuxi shrank into his arms, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she fell asleep peacefully.
After getting used to having someone around me, sleeping alone again was a bit unaccustomed.
Early the next morning, the two went out together.
Lao Wang, who had just gotten up next door, couldn't help but look puzzled when he saw the two of them like this.
"Are you going on a long trip?"
"Yes. Let's go for a walk and take care of some things. I'm afraid Yuxi will be bored at home alone, so I'll take her with me."
There was an ambiguous look on Lao Wang's face.
"Hehe, I understand. No need to explain it so clearly."
Jiang Chuan didn't want to talk to this old boy.
By this time the carriage had arrived at the door of the house.
Annan arranged this for him.
Of course, they still have to pay for it.
He held Lin Yuxi's jade hand and gently pulled her into the carriage.
The two entered and the sound came out.
"Go to Ping'an County, five hundred miles away."
"okay."
The driver waved his whip, and the carriage slowly headed forward out of the city.
After leaving Gusu County, the carriage went much faster.
At this rate, it will take about ten days to arrive.
Within the Department of Justice.
Qian Gui and Mrs. Qian were pulled out by Director Ma.
Mrs. Qian had a confident smile on her face.
That arrogant look was like a downtrodden and proud peacock.
"Master Ma, can you finally let us go?"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Director Ma looked at the woman coldly.
He didn't mean to talk to her.
The clown in front of me has no value anymore.
Qian Gui didn't speak. From the beginning, he was observing Director Ma's expression.
Seeing him like this now, my heart skipped a beat.
A bad thought came to mind.
Sure enough, Director Ma's next words confirmed his guess.
"You two, your backer is gone."
"Come here, please send Qiangui on your way, and let Li Min'er go to the official kiln to pick up the guests."
Mrs. Qian was shocked, and the smile disappeared from her face.
"You! How is this possible!"
Director Ma didn’t want to explain that much.
Just two useless people. He has seen many such people.
He waved his hand and signaled his men to take the person away.
Qian Gui, who had lost three rounds of weight, broke away from the guard and quickly took two steps forward to ask.
"Director Ma, can't you be accommodating? I still have money! I can give all my property to Mr. Ma!"
Director Ma's face darkened.
"Money is expensive! I am a good official who serves the people with integrity! You actually want to tarnish my reputation in this way! You are really audacious! Come on! Beat me!"
Qian Gui was also in a state of panic, otherwise he wouldn't have said this.
This Lord Ma is a very hypocritical dog official.
He was not given any chance and a rag was stuffed into his mouth.
The stick falls.
After they finished fighting, Qian Gui only had half his life left.
For the next assignment, I'm afraid that if I don't make it five hundred miles, I'll die on the way.
Mrs. Qian was sent to the official kiln.
Some people's eyes suddenly lit up when they saw her name.
Especially those who had a grudge against the Qian family spent money to let Mrs. Qian serve the people.
Suddenly, her business was booming.
But within a few days, she went completely crazy.
This kind of worthless official prostitute has only one end.
Inside the cell.
"Hey, you are lucky today, you all have meat buns to eat."
"One for each person, no one is allowed to take more."
The prisoners suddenly became excited and stretched their hands out of the cells.
There are not many opportunities like this.
Improving the food is better than anything else.
In a mass grave, a pile of skeletons were randomly dug into a hole and buried.
After dark, a red resentment slowly condensed and took shape in the cemetery.
The carriage was speeding, and Lin Yuxi nestled in Jiangchuan's arms, unable to take her eyes away from the scenery along the way.
The last time I saw such a scene was many years ago.
She was still young then.
There are only his father and mother around him.
Ever since his father got busy with his business, he hasn't been around much anymore.
Even when his mother passed away, he didn't have time to come back.
It would be a lie to say that there is no resentment.
It's just that now that he is dead, naturally he won't care about this with him anymore.
The two of them just walked and stopped.
They would spend the night in a small room behind the carriage.
There's nothing wrong with saying it's an RV.
That night, Jiang Chuan was awakened by the sound of chirping.
Look around.
Although the other party is still hundreds of meters away from here, at this distance, the smallest movements of the other party can already be detected.
Robbery is a profession that has existed since ancient times.
The coachman had told himself this.
But this kind of thing poses no threat to him now.
It's just that things didn't turn out the way they thought.
Look outside the car.
The coachman is not here.
Following the breath he left behind, you will find that the old man is hiding behind a big tree and smoking leisurely.
Not far away, a middle-aged man casually threw a bag of Xuan Jing to him.
"This is the reward for this time."
The driver glanced at the fifty black crystals inside and nodded slightly.
He stuffed the thing into his arms.
"Remember not to kill anyone. I still make a living from this business."
"Don't worry, we have cooperated more than once or twice. We still know the rules."
The driver nodded.
He didn't pay any more attention to this matter.
For him, this kind of thing is too normal.
The people in the car are just his money-making tools.
It's not easy for everyone to have a bite of food.
The leader of the robbers quickly approached the carriage with his men.
There was no movement in the car.
Those who can go out in this kind of carriage are generally rich people.
I don't know how much money they can get from the other party this time.
Jiang Chuan didn't disturb Lin Yuxi's rest and got off the carriage carefully.
The leading robber immediately raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Jiang Chuan walked straight in the direction of the leader.
Only then did they realize that they had been exposed.
Just as he was about to say a few polite words, he saw Jiang Chuan making a shushing gesture.
"Keep your voice down, my wife is resting. Don't disturb her."
The leader was stunned, but still subconsciously whispered.
"Robbery."
"I know. How much do you want?"
This made the robbers a little unresponsive.
This is the first time I have seen such a good hostage.
How could they know that this was not the first time Jiang Chuan encountered such a thing.
He used to deal with such people.
He was more familiar with this process than anyone else.
A group of robbers looked at each other, and the leader raised a finger.
"We don't want much, just one thousand Xuan crystals. We brothers are just asking for food."
Jiang Chuan nodded and casually took out a thousand Xuan crystals in cash and gave it to him.
"Okay. It's late at night, you should go back and rest early."
Then he turned around and walked towards the carriage.
