Watching the carriage go away, Pei Shun raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of ridicule.
"Pei Changsui, wasn't the one that was just put on the carriage just carried in? Why was it carried out again?" A servant guarding the door came to Pei Shun and asked curiously.
The two guards guarding the yamen gate were the same two people as before, so when they saw the wooden box being carried out, they recognized it at a glance as the wooden box they carried in.
Pei Shunhui turned around, looked at the officer who was speaking, and said, "It's not your responsibility, don't ask around here."
"You are too talkative." The guard hurriedly slapped his face with his hand.
While working as an official in the yamen, he understood one thing: sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing.
Pei Shun snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the Yamen.
Returning to the back office, he looked at Pei Hong who was sitting on the Taishi chair, bowed and said, "Master, he has been sent away, and he will definitely go back with peace of mind when he sees that the money has been accepted by us."
"Since when did I accept other people's money?" Pei Hong's face sank.
When Pei Shun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "What the master said is that we did not collect the Tian family's money. When I just came back, the officer at the Yamen Gate asked me why I took the wooden box again. Returned."
"Hmph, tell them not to talk nonsense. The Tian family is collaborating with slaves and thieves. How can I accept their money?" Pei Hong snorted coldly.
Pei Shun bowed and said cautiously: "Don't worry, sir, I will give you all the advice that needs to be given. I guarantee that people in the Yamen will not talk nonsense."
"Yes." Pei Hong nodded slightly.
It was obvious that he had received money from the Tian family, but had no intention of doing anything for the Tian family.
It's a pity that Butler Tian didn't know this at all, and thought that after receiving the money, he would rescue the two young masters of the Tian family who were imprisoned.
………………
"Speed up and load everything into the car."
Outside a warehouse of the Liang family, a fleet of vehicles was parked. Many men came in and out of the warehouse, moving goods to the cart outside.
In addition to these workers, there were a group of men wearing armor and holding knives around the carriage.
Each of these men was armed with a horse, and some of them were carrying bows and arrows, and they exuded a violent aura.
People will know at a glance that these people are not easy to deal with.
"The safety of the convoy depends on Zhou Qiguan." Liang You cupped his hands in front of a man wearing an iron helmet.
The man named Zhou Qiguan smiled in a rough voice and said, "Don't worry, we are here to ensure that your Liang family's goods are safe."
He patted his chest and said generously.
"Haha, with Zhou Qiguan here, I believe those young people along the way will not dare to think about the team." Liang You laughed in agreement.
Zhou Qiguan was Yang Guozhu's personal soldier.
This time the Liang family’s motorcade invited the Zhou flag officer and a group of cavalry brought by Zhou flag officer as the motorcade escort. Liang You believed that with such a force to protect the motorcade, even if the people in the Tiger Flag knew about Liang The family's motorcade went to the grassland, and the people in the Tiger Flag did not dare to mess around.
With a lot of work by the workers, all the goods were moved to the car.
After tying up the goods on the car, the driver of the first car took the animals pulling the cart and drove the carriage away from the street outside the warehouse door.
The other carts behind were moving slowly, and Zhou Qiguan, with his troops and horses, left the warehouse along with the convoy.
Liang You stood outside the warehouse door and watched the convoy go away.
The Liang family has been preparing this batch of goods for a long time. Although it is not as large as the Huziqi, it is already a considerable amount for Shanxi merchants like the Liang family.
The Liang family's convoy left Xuanfu. In addition to the Liang family members, there were also personal servants like Zhou Qiguan in the convoy. Ordinary bandits would not dare to plan such a convoy.
The convoy arrived at Bian Dun as agreed with the Wang family smoothly.
The convoys of the two families merged to form a larger convoy. Under the arrangements of the guard general Biandun, they successfully exited the customs and entered the grassland.
There is no shortage of horse bandits on the grassland.
But the horse bandits don't rob everyone. As large as the Liang family's fleet, it's obvious at a glance that they have brought a lot of good things. However, because there are guards like Zhou Qiguan who are wearing armor and are not easy to mess with at first glance. , the horse bandits just walked around when they encountered them.
Three days after entering the prairie, the Liang family's convoy had traveled less than a hundred miles.
They dare not walk on the roads built by the Tiger Flag on the grassland, and can only walk on some remote and sparsely populated grasslands. However, such grasslands have no roads and are difficult to walk, and they have to beware of wolves at night.
The convoy carried a lot of goods, so the speed of the convoy was not fast, far less than the speed of the convoy with the tiger flag on the grassland.
The Tiger Character Banner has also begun building forts on the grasslands outside Zhangjiakou.
Wang Yuncheng led a military division of soldiers and horses to station here to ensure the safety of the civilians who were building the fort, and at the same time, he also garrisoned the fort under construction.
"Quickly, take me to see Wang Shizheng."
Several fast horses galloped from the direction of Zhangjiakou and appeared outside a camp in Tiger Flag.
The rider who spoke was holding a piece of copper in his hand and handed it to the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp.
After the soldiers checked the copper blocks and confirmed that the other party's identity was correct, they moved to the deer village in front of the camp gate and let the riding horses enter the camp.
The camp is the size of a military camp.
Although the Tiger Character Banner is equipped with a combat division on this grassland, because there are too many forts built, a combat division cannot stay in one place to garrison.
After each fort is built, a part of the troops will be allocated, and at the same time, soldiers will be guarded near the fort being built.
Several riders were taken directly to Wang Yuncheng's tent by the soldiers in the camp.
"See Wang Shizheng."
One of the several riders who came to the camp entered Wang Yuncheng's tent.
When Wang Yuncheng saw the person coming, he didn't recognize him, and he didn't look like someone from his own camp, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"My subordinate is a member of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau stationed in Xuanfu. On the order of Deputy Director Zhao, I sent Wang Shizheng the news that the Liang family and Wang family convoys have arrived at the grassland." The rider took out a letter from his arms. , presented it with both hands.
Guards have been assigned to personnel at the division level.
One of Wang Yuncheng's guards stepped forward, took the letter, inspected it, found that it was not damaged, and then handed it over to Wang Yuncheng.
Wang Yuncheng, who received the letter, opened the paint on it, took out the letter paper inside, and read it in front of his eyes.
After reading it, he said to the person in front of him: "I have received the letter. You go back and tell Mr. Zhao that I will immediately send someone to deal with the Liang family's convoy."
"My subordinates resign." The rider left the tent neatly.
