The departure of the motorcade is a very grand event for the Qin family. After all, the Qin family invested a large amount of money in this business.
Qin Yuezong also followed him all the way outside the city. Shao Xi and Qin Yuezong saluted and said goodbye. Qin Yuezong also asked him to take care of Qin Miao along the way. Shao Xi naturally agreed.
After the two were polite on the surface, each with their own secrets in mind, Shao Xi called the convoy to set off, and everyone headed south.
Speaking of which, this is going back. Shao Xi and Lao Wu originally walked north from Zhiqiu Town to Huaichang County, but now they have to go south again in order to confuse the Qin family and his son.
However, Lao Wu didn't complain at all when he turned back this time, because he knew in his heart that everything Shao Xi was doing now was just to carry out the last step of the plan.
Qin Yuezong watched Shao Xi, Lao Wu and Qin Miao riding horses and leading the convoy farther and farther, but the worry in his heart was still faintly present.
Although Qin Miao personally escorted the batch of cloud yarn, Qin Yuezong always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong. He thought maybe he was thinking too much, so he shook his head and got on the carriage. Return to Huaichang City.
Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Qin Miao to the front of the motorcade, and was not in a hurry.
Although Qin Miao was anxious to rush to Nanshui County as soon as possible to complete the transaction of this batch of cloud yarn with Nan Zhao, seeing that Shao Xi and Lao Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry, it was hard to push them again and again.
He just thought that if he could complete this transaction within half a month, he would be able to take back the Qin family's property in time. After all, he was taking such a big risk this time, and he felt a little uneasy.
The convoy marched leisurely all the way for a whole day. To be honest, the speed was really not fast. Compared with the original trip when Shao Xi and Lao Wu came on horseback, only half of the journey was completed at the end of the day. Less than.
In fact, Shao Xi deliberately slowed down for his own purpose. If he walked too fast, he would have to check into an inn or a post house when he got to the next town or county, which would be very inconvenient for what he was going to do next. , so they delayed it until dark on purpose, and the convoy only reached a forest.
In this kind of place with no village in front and no store in the back, we can only camp temporarily for one night, and continue our journey after dawn the next morning.
The coachman and the guards were walking outside all year round, so they were used to this kind of life of sleeping in the open air, but Qin Miao was pampered all the year round, so sleeping in the wild like this really made him feel very uncomfortable.
In the evening, the guards and coachmen gathered around the campfire, eating dry food, drinking soju, talking and laughing.
Shao Xi, Lao Wu and Qin Miao were alone around a campfire, eating and drinking. However, Qin Miao was very worried about the current speed of the convoy, so he mentioned the matter to Shao Xi.
"Master Shao, we have walked for a whole day to get this far! Isn't it going to delay our trip if we continue like this? I wonder if we can reach Nanshui County within half a month to complete this transaction?"
Qin Miao did not dare to push too hard at this time. After all, the money was now in Shao Xi's hands, and Yunsha was also in Shao Xi's hands. All the initiative was not with him, so he could only ask tentatively, hoping that the other party would If you can understand what you mean, the rest of your journey will be faster.
Shao Xi naturally knew what Qin Miao was thinking at this time, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Boss Qin! Starting on the first day, both humans and horses have to adapt, and they will step up their efforts from tomorrow on." Cheng, we will definitely reach Nanshui County within half a month, Boss Chen, don’t worry, I naturally know everything well.”
"That's good, that's good! Then everything depends on Mr. Shao."
After getting a satisfactory answer from Shao Xi, Qin Miao felt more or less relieved.
At this time, Old Wu approached Qin Miao and handed over the wine bottle in his hand.
"Boss Qin, don't worry. My young master has been doing this business for more than a day or two. As long as you follow his arrangements, nothing will go wrong. Boss Qin, don't think too much. Come! Have a few sips of wine to warm your body. It's wet at night. Be careful not to catch a cold, my wine is the best Huadiao wine."
Qin Miao finally felt a little relieved after being fooled by Shao Xi and Lao Wu. She thought that Shao Xi must be more experienced than herself in running the cloud yarn business, so it was hard to say anything more.
After taking a few sips from Lao Wu's wine flask, Lao Wu reluctantly persuaded him to start drinking, saying that we were all men! There are no women out there, so it would be a shame if he didn't take a few more sips of wine, which would make Qin Miao too embarrassed to refuse.
After drinking most of the wine in the jug, Qin Miao's original nervousness calmed down a lot due to the effect of the wine, so she fell asleep leaning against the big tree next to her.
Lao Wu didn't forget to pull a blanket over him to prevent him from catching cold at night.
Watching Qin Miao fall asleep, Shao Xi and Lao Wu showed a mysterious smile on their faces by the campfire. The two continued to bake pancakes and drink wine until it was almost time, when the two stood up and started. One step taken...
…
When Qin Miao woke up and opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings were still dark, and even the light of the bonfire had disappeared. He wondered for a while, thinking that he must have slept for a long time, why was it not bright yet?
So I wanted to raise my hand to rub my eyes, but when I raised my hand, I found that my elbow seemed to hit something, and there was a "dong" sound.
So he reached out to touch, but he felt something that seemed to be like a wooden board next to him. When he was wondering, he raised his leg and found that his knee also hit the same wooden board-like thing, making a "dong" sound.
At this moment, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he reached out and touched around.
After touching it, he discovered that the surroundings were all flat wooden boards, and when he tapped it with his hand, it made a "dong-dong" sound. He immediately realized that he was not leaning on the big tree now, but was being put into a wooden box. in the box.
So after groping for a few times, he reached up to touch his head, and also touched a wooden board. He pushed upwards hard, and actually pushed the wooden board above his head away.
The moment the board was pushed away, a dazzling light shone on Qin Miao's eyes. He felt a stinging pain in his eyes and couldn't open them for a long time.
After I gradually recovered, I opened my eyes and looked around. I was shocked and shouted, "No, I was cheated!"
At this time, Qin Miao was sitting in a large wooden box used to hold clouds and gauze. Dozens of similar large wooden boxes were placed around his wooden box. These wooden boxes were exactly the same ones used by the 20 cars from the previous day. Pulled out by horse-drawn carriage.
At this time, these wooden boxes were being thrown in the woods in a mess, and the twenty carriages, their drivers, and guards, including Shao Xi and Lao Wu, had disappeared.
Qin Miao looked up at the sky. It should have been past noon. He didn't understand why he slept for so long.
I just drank a few sips of wine last night. Why do I have such a headache now?
Not caring about the discomfort, he hurriedly climbed out of the box, turned around and saw several pieces of cloud yarn placed on the board he had just pushed away. Due to his movement just now, several pieces of cloud yarn were placed on top of the board. It has fallen to the ground.
Looking at the empty box again, he immediately realized something and hurried to the other boxes and opened each box one by one.
At this time, he discovered that each box of cloud yarn was just a layer on the partition. After opening the partition, the boxes were all filled with rags. Only then did he realize that he had really been deceived.
It turns out that these twenty loads of cloud gauze are just a layer on top of each box, and there is nothing underneath except rags. In other words, these twenty loads of cloud gauze are all fake, so naturally there is no relationship with them. What cloud yarn was traded in Nan Zhao?
He had no chance to earn back the 20,000 taels of silver that Shao Xi took from him, let alone earn it back. At this time, he didn't know who to get back the 20,000 taels of silver.
At this time, he had no idea where Shao Xi and Lao Wu had gone. He was left standing alone in the wilderness, facing a lot of empty wooden boxes. At this time, he couldn't help but cry. All.
After he knew it was over, Shao Xi personally came to talk to him about the business. It was a scam from beginning to end.
The father and son were not only deceived, but they were deceived even deeper. They even borrowed an additional ten thousand taels from Taihe Trading Company without telling their father by mortgaging their family property. At this time, everything was in Shao Xi's hands.
Now let alone the two thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that the Qin family's property that I mortgaged cannot be saved now.
Qin Miao seemed to have gone crazy. He opened dozens of boxes one by one and looked at them one by one. The more he looked at them, the colder and panicked he became. Finally, he couldn't help but howl like a wild beast.
It’s over! He knew that the Qin family was completely finished from today on!
Without the 20,000 taels of silver, he would be unable to redeem the Qin family's property. If he could not repay the loaned money after half a month, Taihe Trading Company would come to collect the debt. The final result was that the father and son were kicked out. , all the Qin family's property was taken away by Taihe Commercial Bank to pay off debts.
After some crazy venting, Qin Miao gradually calmed down. He finally understood that this was a trap set by Shao Xi for the Qin family from beginning to end.
Shao Xi had been luring the father and son into the game ever since he showed himself the gold medal of Taihe Trading Company and the night-light pearl, and now he had defrauded him of all the Qin family's property and disappeared without a trace.
What their father and son will face next will be the situation they least want to see!
At this time, Qin Miao remembered why Lao Wu repeatedly persuaded him to drink last night, and he couldn't sleep since he drank the pot of wine. The headache at this time also told Qin Miao that Lao Wu had added ingredients to the wine.
Everything he was facing was planned by Shao Xi and Lao Wu, and even persuading him to drink was part of the plan.
Thinking of this, Qin Miao was going crazy.
"Shao Xi! Don't let me find you, otherwise I will never let you go."
This hysterical, hoarse howl scared the birds in the forest and fled in all directions.
