Chapter 358 Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts
At that time, Xie Wuying made a vow to Zhao Gong on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Xie Yuchuan and Xiong Jiushan also had a thorough understanding of each other's thoughts.
Xiong Jiushan only agreed to half of Xie Yuchuan's proposal. The other half was that as a court official, he could not act without authorization and had to learn from others.
Then he still had to find a way to bring Feng Chen in. Xie Yuchuan was noncommittal and nodded happily.
As for the route, Xie Yuchuan compromised and said: "Then separate the people and goods."
"How can that be done?!" This move was too risky, and Xiong Jiushan was worried.
Xie Yuchuan said: "Separate the people and goods and go their own way. Then we will know whether they came down from Qinglong Village to rob the people for gold and silver, or for - people!"
"If the goods are lost, how can we move forward? No! No!" Xiong Jiushan felt that his eyes would turn black if he heard him say another word. He had never seen anyone do this.
Hundreds of people, separated from their goods, lost their goods, died, no matter which side is in trouble, they can't bear it.
He stared at Xie Yuchuan, "Aren't you kidding?"
"I never say such uninhibited words." Xie Yuchuan said.
Xie Yuchuan's eyes fell on the teapot on the table. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiong Jiushan. Xiong Jiushan didn't know why and followed his line of sight. He saw Xie Yuchuan placing his palm on top of the teapot in front of him. .
In doubt, he suddenly blinked.
The teapot on the table is missing!
Xiong Jiushan blinked hard, looked up at him, then looked down at the table again. He reached out his hand and scanned the place where the teapot disappeared. It was empty.
Xiong Jiushan stared at Xie Yuchuan with eyes like bells: "!!!"
Xie Yuchuan said lightly: "It's just a little trick."
Xiong Jiushan said in his heart, you take me for granted. Three-year-old furry child? !
Is this something that can be done with just a little trick? !
A chill ran up his spine. Xiong Jiushan didn't say a word for a long time. His lips moved several times. It was obvious that he had a lot to say and ask, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know how to ask.
After a long time, he finally calmed down his shock and raised his eyes to speak.
Xie Yuchuan gently stretched out his hand in front of him, and in a moment, the teapot that had just disappeared appeared in front of Xiong Jiushan again out of thin air.
Xiong Jiushan, who was about to speak, almost choked to death on his own saliva!
“You, you, you——”
Xiong Jiushan pointed at him and took two steps back unconsciously.
He stared at Xie Yuchuan in front of him, looked at the surrounding air warily, looked around, looked directly into Xie Yuchuan's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Is the family god here?"
Xie Yuchuan shook his head.
Someone took a breath of air and his heart beat rapidly.
"Then you..." Xiong Jiushan looked at the teapot on the table and glared: "You...how did you do it?"
Xie Yuchuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes shaking. .
"I'm afraid Master Xiong is not very eager to learn."
Nonsense! Who wants to know how to learn? I’m asking you, how did you become useless? !
Xie Yuchuan saw the clear meaning in Xiong Jiushan's eyes very clearly.
He said calmly: "The secret must not be leaked."
Xiong Jiushan really wanted to hammer him to death at this moment!
Xie Yuchuan actually possesses the power of transformation. This is something Xiong Jiushan never expected. Along the way, Xie Yuchuan's hand just now was so exposed that he almost stood up on his hair.
This is more impactful than knowing that the Xie family is really protected by gods!
The way Xiong Jiushan looked at Xie Yuchuan was wrong... Xie Yuchuan, who had expected such a reaction from Xiong Jiushan, looked as usual.
Closing the map, Xie Yuchuan said: "Separate people and goods. If you really think something is valuable, you might as well leave it to me for safekeeping for the time being, and return it in full when the matter is completed."
"I can't believe you."
"Oh, that's also a problem."
The two of them talked in a hurry, and Xiong Jiushan knew in his heart that if Xie Yuchuan could really "change" like just now, then What he proposed was no longer a problem. On the way to exile, the most important thing was food and money. Would you hand your life and worth to a prisoner for safekeeping? What a joke!
"How can I covet your things when the family god is here? What are you worried about?"
Xie Yuchuan's words made Xiong Jiushan feel a little moved again.
I had just taken a nap in the afternoon. It was a cold day when the superiors suddenly gave an order to pack the trucks.
The escorts, who were woken up by their companions in a daze, yawned, put on their coats, came out of the warm room, and followed the flow of people to the backyard carriage yard to organize their things.
In the stables, the groom who was in charge saw many officials coming and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Many government servants were buttoning up their coats and wearing their hats. When they saw the carriages and horses placed in the backyard, they suddenly started to stir up trouble again, their faces full of bewilderment.
Among the people who were least happy was the young government servant Liu Chan who was woken up less than half an hour after his shift.
I don’t know what’s going on in the front, but a bunch of people are gathering in the yard behind where the smell of cow, horse dung, and eggs is everywhere. Liu Qian looked at several carts of things being tied up, and couldn’t help asking from his soul: “Okay, suddenly "What are you doing here and there?"
After saying a few words, a group of more than a dozen people suddenly came from the side door, all of whom were prisoners in custody.
Liu Chou frowned and muttered: "What's going on?"
"I don't know." The companion on the side also sounded surprised.
Soon, the officers knew the cause and effect. These prisoners, who looked more muscular, were specially selected by Xiong Jiushan to work among the prisoners.
I didn’t hit him or scold him, so I asked him if he wanted to work in exchange for food.
Hula stood up a bunch of people.
Don’t mention the food. When I mention the food, I instantly think of the delicious lunch.
If they could eat something like this every day, they would be willing to work whatever job the officials asked them to do!
Xiong Jiushan was also unexpected.
Since he didn't need so many people, he selected a dozen strong men and went to the back with several guards from the Xie family to assist the escorting officials.
Originally, the food and grass accompanying the exile team were not much. It was all set by the government, and the money was about the same. They bought and replenished it along the way. According to usual practice, as long as it was not extravagant and wasteful, all the post offices along the way could provide it. Take care that it will be enough to get to your destination.
The person in charge of the escort mission this time is Xiong Jiushan, who always strives for stability. As early as when he set off, he had calculated how much he walked and how much he consumed every day, so that there would be no mistakes on the road. Unexpectedly, several changes occurred while escorting the Xie family and his party, and people sent "gifts" and added "things" one after another. Whether they were enemies or friends, in short, the team's resources were not less, but more.
Coupled with Wulibao, he helped out at the request of the eldest daughter of the Tian family.
Nowadays, food, fodder and other things used on the road have doubled compared to before.
Have enough food in your hands and don’t panic in your heart.
If these things can be brought out of the customs without any damage, Xiong Jiushan believes that the second half of the journey will not be too hard.
But now, Xie Yuchuan wanted to use people and goods as bait, while Xiong Jiushan stood in front with his chest folded, watching the guards and prisoners packing the carriage with a serious expression.
"Are you sure these fake things can contain the opponent's troops?"
"Of course." Xie Yuchuan said solemnly.
"Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts."
