Chapter 14 Acting

Chu Xiu asked Han Bao to send people to rob the caravan, but Chu Xiu's intention was to kill Zhang Quan and other managers, and he was going to keep the others, otherwise there would be no one in the caravan, and he What's the point of this caravan?

In fact, not many of them died, but the rest of them seemed to have been scared out of their wits, and they didn't dare to go any further. This made Chu Xiu sneer in his heart. Don't care about the family's affairs, these servants have been used to this appearance, and he doesn't care about it.

Looking at the people present, Chu Xiu said coldly: "Cultivate for a while? Think of a countermeasure? It's a joke!

It wasn't you who died, you didn't even get hurt at all, so what's your self-cultivation?

As for countermeasures, the bandits in Shangmang Mountain in the north and south have been causing disasters for decades, and even the Beiyan court, the official of Wei County, can't control them. Do you still want countermeasures? A bunch of trash, just say it when you are afraid, what excuses are you looking for! "

The members of the caravan were all angry, but Chu Xiu was the second son of the Chu family anyway, they were not even in charge, and they didn't dare to challenge Chu Xiu, they just stood there silent with an angry expression.

Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Think it's over if you don't talk? The Chu family has so many businesses, and the caravan's treatment is the highest.

Other servants who do odd jobs only get one tael or two taels a month, but your caravan is at least ten taels, and the manager can even reach a hundred taels!

The Chu family gave you so much monthly money, not for you to become uncles, you are afraid of death and don't want to go, some people want to go! Be prepared! "

Chu Xiu yelled, and Gao Bei stepped out immediately and said, "The villain is here."

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Go, tell the servants in the Chu family's handyman's house that if some of them dare to work hard, my caravan dares to take it. The monthly payment is at least ten taels. As long as they return smoothly every time, half of the caravan's income will be paid." as their reward."

Chu Xiu turned his gaze to the rest of the caravan again, and said calmly: "As for you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to work hard in the caravan. Go find Steward Liu and ask him to reassign you places. Of course, Steward Liu is still lying on the bed right now. , I guess I don’t have time to care about you.”

The faces of the people in the caravan suddenly changed. They didn't expect Chu Xiu to do such a great job, and they were going to kick them all out of the caravan at once.

To be honest, among so many businesses of the Chu family, the caravans are indeed treated the best, and they have been walking for several years without encountering any great risks, only this time they were scared.

Just because he gave up such a good position this time, the person who was still determined just now hesitated immediately.

Moreover, compared with when Zhang Quan was in charge of the caravan before, the second son was very generous, and he was willing to give half of the caravan's profit as a reward.

Don't look at the half of it as if it is very little, and it is even less among the hundreds of people, but the income of each caravan is as much as thousands of taels. On average, they can also get a few taels of silver. It's a lot for them.

At this moment, the person who was the first to jump out to question Chu Xiu just now was the first to turn his back on him, and begged: "Second Young Master, it was the villain who was deceived by lard just now, and the Chu family treated me well. Also ask Second Young Master to give me a chance."

Chu Xiu didn't know anything about the caravan. Now that those stewards were all dead, he couldn't really drive them all out of the caravan.

So Chu Xiu just said lightly: "There is only one chance. If you don't grasp it again, then don't blame me for not showing affection. Anyone who is willing to stay in the caravan now, follow me."

Of the more than 70 members of the caravan present, only a dozen of them were so frightened that they would rather leave without the treatment of the caravan. As for the others, they obediently followed Chu Xiu to prepare and set off again.

The charter of the caravan is actually not too difficult. It is nothing more than exchanging needs, selling the special products of Wei County to Yan Country, making a lot of money, and then bringing some special products from Yan Country back to Wei County.

It's just that if you walk by the main road, although it's safe, the time is too long, and you can't bypass Shangmang Mountain in a month.

And if you cross Shangmang Mountain directly, you can go back and forth twice a month.

This time Chu Xiu led the team, he had already greeted Han Bao, and asked Han Bao's subordinates to cooperate with him in a play, which was for the people of the Chu family, and also for other bandits in Shangmang Mountain of.

After entering Shangmang Mountain, Chu Xiu took another commercial route that Zhang Quan and the others had traveled. The servants of the caravan along the way seemed to be frightened, for fear that there would be more bandits.

But the reality is that you are afraid of what will come, and at this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came: "Little ones, come out, business is coming! People are killed, things are left behind!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of bandits rushed out from the dense forest and surrounded the caravan.

At this time, those people in the caravan were almost regretting it to death.

If they had known this, they wouldn't have continued to seek death with Chu Xiu, but now they didn't get the money, but their lives were almost gone!

But at this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said to Gao Bei: "Take the kerosene and prepare to light the fire!"

Gao Bei nodded, opened the carriage containing the goods directly, and opened a clay pot on the top of the carriage, which exuded a pungent smell. It was a can of kerosene, and Gao Bei also took it out from his arms at this time A piece of flint can ignite the fire oil at any time.

Chu Xiu pointed at the clay pot and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is such a fire oil tank on every carriage. You are asking for money and killing your life, but my Chu family will not let anyone slaughter you!

At worst, I will burn the goods with a fire, and then fight to the death with you, and you don't even want to get anything! "

The people in the caravan looked at Chu Xiu with surprise in their eyes. They obviously didn't expect that the second son had such a skill.

But what if I meet a bandit with a bad temper and would rather kill them than this thing?

Among the bandits, a strong man with a machete came out. Chu Xiu knew this man. He was one of Han Bao's confidantes. One knife means that his knife skills are very fast, and he often kills with only one knife.

Feng Yidao pretended not to know Chu Xiu, and said with a sneer, "I'm still young to play with you, sir. Believe it or not, I'd rather not have these things than kill you guys?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Why bother? This hero, how about this, you have a competition with me, I lose, and you can do whatever you want. If I win, everyone will let us go, how about this? "

Feng Yidao laughed loudly and said: "A son who has no strength to restrain a chicken also wants to fight with me? Since you want to court death, then I will help you!"

The members of the other caravans were all frowning. No wonder they were worried. In fact, the second son was never famous for his strength in the Chu family.

In the entire Chu family, only the eldest son is recognized as having a good martial arts talent, and now he has reached the blood coagulation level.

Chu Xiu dismounted, took out the dagger in his hand, cupped his hands at Feng Yidao, and attacked Feng Yidao directly.

Chu Xiu is good at the technique of sharp swords, and Feng Yidao is not an ordinary bandit. He was born in the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland, and his martial arts inheritance is not inferior to the disciples of the sect, but he is also good at fast swords.

But now that the two of them are acting, it is naturally impossible to use that kind of quick knife technique to kill the enemy with one move, so they fought back and forth like ordinary warriors.

Among the servants of the Chu family, there were almost no real fighters, and most of them had only learned some superficial boxing skills, so in their opinion, the fight between the two sides was very fierce.

After exchanging dozens of moves, Feng Yidao deliberately released the water, and Chu Xiu directly chopped off the machete in his hand with a single blow, and cupped his hands and said, "I accept it."

Feng Yidao's acting skills are not bad, he showed a depressed look on his face and said: "Okay, okay, you go, I didn't expect you, son, to have some strength, it's my uncle who underestimated the enemy."

Upon hearing this, the people on the caravan team breathed a sigh of relief and cheered collectively.

But at this time Chu Xiu said: "This hero is waiting."

Feng Yidao frowned and said, "What else do you have to do?"

The people in the caravan were also very puzzled, they wished to get as far away from these bandits as possible, why did the second young master go to the other side?

Chu Xiu arched his hands and said, "I want to talk to you, a hero, for a business deal."

Feng Yidao pointed at himself and said, "Did I hear correctly? Are you looking for a bandit to do business with me?"

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, it's about business.

This caravan transports this batch of goods to Yan State, and they can sell them for thousands of taels, but in fact, if this batch of goods falls into your hands, with your ability, you can only turn them into a few hundred taels.

This is a difference of ten times. I am now willing to take out one thousand taels of silver, and ask all heroes to escort my caravan to leave Shangmang Mountain. In this way, all heroes have not made this trip in vain. It is even more expensive than ordinary murder. The goods earn more money. "

Feng Yidao's eyes lit up immediately: "Your idea is good and interesting, sir, I agree!"

The people in the caravan present all looked at each other. They had been walking Shangmang Mountain for more than ten years, and this was the first time they had seen this kind of practice. But after thinking about it carefully, they were really not too bad.

Although one thousand taels of silver was a lot, they had to hide from the bandits in the past, but now they were directly escorted by these bandits to leave Shangmang Mountain, and the time it took was much shorter.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone seemed to realize that the Second Young Master had really changed, and he was completely different from the Second Young Master in their impression.

Chu Xiu's play was very successful. His side has completely established his prestige in the caravan, and Han Bao's side can also spread the matter to let other bandits know the feasibility of their establishment of such rules.
