"Why are they not moving?"
In the forest hundreds of feet away behind them, someone let out a small gasp.
Since these foreign businessmen left from Jinyu Pavilion, they were ordered to follow behind these few people.
Fanbang is just Fanbang, not alert at all, carrying treasures worth hundreds of thousands of taels, just walking on the road like this, all the way out of the city, and the roads are getting more and more remote. For the sake of those behind.
There is simply no place more suitable for doing things than this kind of place in the barren mountains and wild mountains, killing people and seizing treasures, destroying corpses and destroying traces.
When they go a little further, to a more desolate place, they can do it by themselves.
Suddenly someone whispered, "Why didn't they move?"
"They put things down."
"No, they seem to have found us!"
The leader was also taken aback when he heard the words, but then he twitched one person's head and said, "Why panic, there are only five of them, so what if they found us?"
"Do it!"
Twenty figures rushed out of the forest and came towards the direction of the five people.
One of the men carefully put the bag on his back aside and said, "Brothers, take a break and leave these people to me."
A person beside him gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be like this. My second brother just broke into the Tianbang. Everyone treats me as a soft persimmon. I was challenged eighteen times in three days. I can't help but feel so depressed. ah… "
On the opposite side, twenty people who took out black cloths to cover their faces were surprised to find that not only did the five people not escape, but two of them came directly to meet them...
"kill!"
The leader said something in a low voice, and the long knife was unsheathed.
A quarter of an hour later, the twenty people had bruised noses and swollen faces, all of their clothes were stripped to a loincloth, and they were tied to the tree with their hands behind their backs. Their faces were extremely pale, their expressions were frightened and desperate...
"Excuse me, forgive me..."
Watching helplessly as several Fanbang men even tore off their loincloths, as if they had thought of something, sweat poured down their foreheads.
"You guys, don't talk, morality!" One of the Fanbang men looked at them, said a few words in a stumble, and patted the long knife in his hand, which made everyone's heart tremble.
…
"Brother, why didn't you just kill them directly?" In the forest, a slightly younger man stepped forward and asked.
The man shook his head and said: "Twenty lives, the government will definitely investigate to the end, and if something is found by then, won't it cause trouble for the leader
Don't worry, after losing such a big face, these people will definitely not make too much noise. "
"It's cheaper for them."
The voice of the conversation became quieter, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
I don't know how long it took before the sound came from another mountain forest.
Two figures walked into the forest, it could be vaguely seen that they were a man and a woman.
"Sanlang, don't worry..."
There seemed to be the sound of someone undressing, followed by the woman's worried voice: "Sanlang, you won't be seen by others here, right?"
"No." The man's breathing was a little heavy.
"Then, that's fine." The woman whispered, and Xixi Suosuo's voice became louder.
"Both, can you wait a moment?"
Somewhere behind the two of them, a voice suddenly came.
The woman's face turned pale in an instant, and she turned her head to take a look, and the next moment there was a scream.
"—"
"Two, two, don't run away, two!"
"return!"
"Please help us, there will be rewards in the future!"
…
"Twenty servants of the Cui family were stripped naked, tied up in the woods outside the city, and were discovered by the woodcutter after a night?"
Li Yi frowned, looked at Miss Liu Er, and asked, "Is the person you arranged reliable?"
Miss Liu Er waved her hand, and the servants of the Li family carried a few large boxes into the room, and then retreated out respectfully.
With a sweep of her sleeves, the lid of a box opened automatically, and all kinds of pearls, gems and jades were piled up randomly inside, making the whole room a lot brighter.
"Okay, just do it!" Li Yi patted the table and said.
Liumeng, Chamber of Commerce.
"Have you all remembered your goals?" Lu Luo sat at the head and said in a low voice.
"Remember, Chuzhou, Jinyu Pavilion!"
"Qing'an Mansion, Jinyu Pavilion!"
"Qingzhou, Jinyu Pavilion!"
…
After more than a dozen people below responded, not long after, everyone walked out of the meeting hall, and one carriage after another drove out of the big field. Behind each carriage, there were more than ten people accompanying them, and gradually disappeared in the official hall along all directions. on the road.
…
In the past two days, from the dignitaries to the people, Liuli was naturally the hot topic.
Goulan has always followed the trend of the masses, and the stories circulated in Goulan have also kept pace with the times. In the past few days, a few legends about Liuli have been widely circulated among the people.
For example, in the "Journey to the West" mentioned earlier, the monk Sha was once the curtain-rolling general of the Heavenly Court, but he was demoted to the Heavenly Court because he broke a glazed cup of the Queen Mother. precious…
For another example, if you gather seven glazed balls of different colors, you can summon a dragon...
There is also a legend that Liuli is the leftover sky-repairing stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky...
There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that the pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata once made a vow when he was practicing the Bodhisattva way, wishing his body to be as clear as glass inside and outside, pure and free from blemishes; and with the solemn merit of the flame net, he could relieve the suffering of all living beings...
Of course, the dignitaries seldom go to Goulan to listen to that kind of stuff. What they care about is the glaze sale held by the Wang family in Furong Garden tomorrow.
The Cui family's main house in the capital.
Twenty people knelt on the ground in unison, their heads lowered, their faces pale.
The man surnamed Cui shouted sharply: "Twenty of you, can't beat five of them?"
Yesterday's leader didn't dare to say that the other party only dispatched two people. He buried his head very low and said, "Second Master, we don't know that every one of those foreign merchants is a master!"
The man surnamed Cui's face was extremely gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that those colored glazes were real, they didn't lose money in this deal. How could these people survive
"I underestimated those foreign businessmen..." He looked at a group of people kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Go and receive the punishment yourself!"
Outside the city of Kyoto, in a manor, two men in purple stood at the front, and there were dozens of people in blue and yellow behind them. They all knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Greetings, Madam!"
The middle-aged Taoist girl slowly floated down from the sky and stepped into the courtyard. A man in purple tore off the red cloth covering something in the courtyard, pointed to a towering white jade statue below and said, "Ma'am, this is the Send out skilled stonemasons, it took three months to carve it out, it will definitely be able to... "
The middle-aged Taoist nun glanced at him and asked, "I heard that many temples in Kyoto have glazed Buddha statues?"
The man in purple clothes was stunned for a moment, and said: "Returning to the empress, there is indeed such a thing, and my subordinates also thought that if they can also build a glazed statue for the empress, I am afraid that it will attract countless believers. The businessman got a glazed Avalokitesvara, and Chang'an county uncle gave the eldest princess a glazed statue, and the others are all from the palace, we can't touch it at all...
The subordinates have also sent people to look for the Fanbang merchants, but nothing has been found so far. However, the Luochuan Wang Family will hold a colored glaze charity sale in Furong Garden tomorrow, and our people will also participate at that time. We will definitely find enough colored glaze to make a statue for the empress! "
"Chang'an county uncle?" Taoist nun frowned.
"Yes, Chang'an County Bo Li Yi." The man in purple nodded and said.
