Chapter 1631 Robbery and Killing
"Dear gentlemen, may I ask whether you are coming to Da Nang for business or to visit relatives?"
An unexpected word sounded behind him, startling everyone in the Wu family.
Wu Yuanqing turned around and saw a wretched-looking man nodding and bending with a smile on his face, but the wrinkled Han clothes he wore looked nondescript.
Perhaps this is the original meaning of "monkey wearing a crown"?
Wu Yuanqing was a rare young man...
Wu Yuanshuang, who was beside him, was already dissatisfied and shouted: "You are sneaky, do you want to steal our things?"
The man was startled, waving his hands quickly, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, gentlemen, please don't misunderstand me, who dares to steal Han people's things in Da Nang? Is it because he doesn't die quickly enough? What's wrong with him!" He is a local from Linyi, and he usually leads the way for the newly arrived Han people at the dock. Health... In the streets and alleys of Da Nang and even the mountains and hills of the surrounding counties, there is nothing that I don’t know about. If you are not familiar with the place, you might as well let me guide you. The reward is very cheap. You only need a few rewards. For a copper coin, I will be very grateful..."
He was quite sharp-tongued, and his mouth was sputtering, making everyone in the Wu family look confused...
"Are you from Linyi?"
Mr. Shan felt a little incredible. He spoke Chinese so well, right?
And with a Guanzhong accent, it sounds very friendly in this foreign country, and my vigilance is inadvertently reduced to a minimum...
"Yes, yes, I am a native of Linyi."
"You speak Chinese so well, so proficiently. Does it sound like our Guanzhong accent?"
Wu Yuanshuang was also a little curious and asked.
The man nodded and bowed, with a harmless smile on his face: "In Da Nang, if you don't speak a few words of Chinese, you can't make a living! Now people from the entire Linyi Kingdom are flocking to Da Nang, just to be able to provide The Han people work and are paid hundreds of times what we usually pay for farming. The rice is worthless and is bought by the Han people one by one... The younger ones probably have some talent, so they speak Chinese well."
Wu Yuanqing thought for a while. Anyway, the sailors and merchants on the ship were not friendly to the family because of Shan's words. They went their separate ways after getting off the ship, without even a guide...
"Governor's Palace, do you know?"
"You must know this! Why, how many noble people are going to the Governor's Mansion?"
The man was a little surprised and a little shocked.
Probably the deterrent power of the Governor's Palace in Da Nang is strong enough to make people change their minds...
Wu Yuanqing straightened his chest and said proudly: "The current governor Liu Rengui used to be a servant of my family. This time we traveled thousands of miles to Danang to move our family at his invitation. From now on, my family will Based in Da Nang, the whole of Da Nang will be whatever you say!”
"Ouch!"
The man opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Seriously? Oops, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful. Are you going to the Governor's Mansion? I will lead the way for you nobles without any reward!"
Shanshi said happily: "That's a good feeling!"
Save money when you can, always mean and stingy.
Wu Yuanshuang asked curiously: "Don't you make a living from this? Why don't you want to be paid?"
The man said with a grimace: "Serve the Governor. I dare not ask for money, otherwise I will be beaten to death..."
"Haha!"
The Wu brothers looked at each other and smiled. Liu Rengui actually still has such authority in Da Nang. From now on, with his help, he can be popular and drink hot food...
"Well, take the lead and lead the way. When we get to the place, you will be rewarded!"
Wu Yuanqing said straightforwardly, these two brothers are used to spending a lot of money, and they have done a lot of things to spend a lot of money. As long as they are comfortable being served, how can they care about rewards?
I don't care at all that my family was very wealthy in the past, but today I left my hometown...
"Hey, you are truly a noble man! This magnanimity is beyond words! I wish you, sir, may you be a prince forever!"
Wu Yuanqing laughed heartily.
Da Nang is simply my own backyard. Isn’t it easy to make money?
A better life is just around the corner.
The man pointed to a long row of crudely decorated carriages on the roadside and said flatteringly: "You are a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty. You are rich in gold and cannot bear the fatigue. The Governor's Palace is in the west of Da Nang City, several miles away from here. If you go Maybe you two are too powerful to handle it, but you ladies may not be able to hold on... How about we find some carriages and take a ride over?”
When Wu Yuanshuang heard that it was so far away, he hurriedly said: "Okay, go find some carriages and bring them over. The price doesn't matter."
Anyway, we were going to see Liu Rengui soon, not to mention arranging a place for their family to stay. The fare for the train had to be paid for, so why bother saving money for Liu Rengui?
Only Shanshi muttered: "Just walk there, why waste money..."
But after all, when I’m away from home, I can’t keep arguing with the two uncles, so I have no choice but to admit it...
The Linyi man trotted to the roadside and called three or four carriages. The coachmen together loaded the luggage carried by the Wu family onto the carriages, and then served the nobles to get on the carriages. Then they shook their whips and drove away swayingly. After arriving at the bustling dock, we headed straight to the west of the city.
On the carriage, the Wu brothers looked at the Linyi people with black boxing skills who passed by the roadside from time to time, pointing and marveling.
Unconsciously, the road became narrower and narrower, the brick walls on both sides became taller and taller, and the number of people on the street gradually became sparse and eventually disappeared...
Wu Yuanshuang was more lively than his brother. At this moment, he felt something was wrong. His eyebrows twitched and he raised his voice: "Car driver, is this the wrong way?"
The driver was silent.
The guide from Linyi sat on the shaft of the carriage, turned around and said with a smile: "Noble man, please don't be anxious. Passing through this narrow alley is the Governor's Mansion."
Wu Yuanshuang was relieved.
However, after a moment, my heart suddenly lifted again.
A brick wall suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the already narrow alley...
It's actually a dead end.
Wu Yuanshuang suddenly stood up from the car and shouted: "What do you want to do?"
Following his shout, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides. They were all muscular and covered in black scarves. They all jumped down from the wall, waving the sharp swords in their hands, and killed them quickly without saying a word. Come!
The Wu family were all dumbfounded!
What's going on?
Did you say that Tang people are the best in Da Nang?
It’s not that you don’t even dare to reward money, why do you even use a knife?
Wu Yuan Shuang reacted quickly. Although his calves were spinning with fear, he still shouted with a pale face: "All heroes, listen to me! We are nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and the Governor of Da Nang also knows it. He has harmed me. If you wait for your life, your life is at risk! We have abundant money around us, you can take it by yourself, we will not stop it, and we will not pursue it afterwards..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
First, a strong man in black turban leaped onto the shaft of the chariot. He swung the sword in his hand, the sword was bright, and then a burst of hot blood spurted out. Wu Yuanshuang's big head flew into the sky, and then rolled to the ground... …
At this moment, the rabbit had risen and the falcon had turned into an elbow and an armpit. When everyone in the Wu family came to their senses, Wu Yuanshuang's head was in a different place and his body was lying on the spot.
Wu Yuanqing was sitting next to Wu Yuanshuang, watching his brother's head fall to the ground, blood spurting out of his head and face, but he still sat there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open but unfocused, he was so scared...
He was so frightened that these killers moved without any sluggishness. Their steps were light and their strikes were ruthless. They rushed forward like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, raising their swords high.
Cries, begging for mercy, screams...howling in the narrow alley.
The group of men in black seemed to have fallen from the sky and fled away. They had long since disappeared. The guide and the coachman also disappeared without a trace. Only the women and children of the Wu family and underage children were left crying like crazy...
The corpses were strewn about in a horrible way, and the ground in the alley was stained with blood.
As the cries attracted many passers-by and nearby residents to come and see, a huge case in which all the adult men of a Tang aristocratic family were slaughtered and all their belongings swept away spread wildly in Da Nang, like an unstoppable event. The typhoon immediately set off a huge wave!
Not only in Da Nang, but also in the land of Lin Yi, the Tang people are like gods and Buddhas all over the sky!
Normally, even officials of Lin Yi State had to be polite when they met Tang merchants when walking on the street. Even when they met Tang army generals, they had to step to the side of the road to give way! Once there is a dispute or fight involving Tang people, the officials of Lin Yiguo are first concerned about whether any Tang people are injured. As for their own citizens, they do not care whether they live or die...
The people of the Tang Dynasty could walk sideways on this land. Even the king of Linyi had to be respectful to the generals of the Tang army and could not be messed with at all...
However, under this background, a nobleman from Chang'an was robbed and killed, more than ten adult men were brutally killed, and all their property was looted.
All the people in Linyi were horrified and did not dare to guess what kind of revenge the Tang people would launch if the killer could not be caught for a while... (End of this chapter)
