Chapter 138 mixed with sand
The grain on this bag was still ordinary old grain, but Gao Jin grabbed it deeper and found that sand was seeping inside, and his face changed.
Seeing Gao Jin's face change, the old shopkeeper couldn't help but step forward, then he put his hand into the grain bag and tried hard to take it in. Then his face changed drastically. The batch of Chenliang was previously placed in the Fanji Store in Shenmuwei. Later, the master changed his mind temporarily and then pulled him to transport it to Hekou Fort.
"Grandmaster, the old man dares to guarantee this matter, my master will never know about it."
The old shopkeeper has accumulated years of experience, but he didn't know that this batch of old grain was tampered with and there was sand and stone seeping inside. While apologizing to Gao Jin, he called the guy to pour out the bag of grain. Only then did he find that most of the bag of old grain was covered with sand and soil. This made his face even more ugly.
After Gao Jin was over, Chen Sheng was quite calm. As for Wang Dou, if Chen Sheng had not held him down, he would have been afraid that he would have started on the spot.
"Don't worry, my master will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
The promised Chenliang is mixed with most of the sand. This is not the first time the old shopkeeper has encountered this kind of thing, but he never thought it would happen to his own family.
After such a thing happened, the old shopkeeper couldn't wait to take it lightly, so he immediately sent a friend to inform his master.
Not long after, Fan Xiu'an came out with a blue face. Seeing Gao Jin standing with the old shopkeeper, he forced a smile on his face, "Brother Gao, Fan is not strict, so you can make a joke."
Seeing Fan Xiu'an's gloomy eyes, Gao Jin confirmed that this batch of Chen Liang mixed with sand. Fan Xiu'an was indeed unaware of it. "Brother Fan is talking about it, and who has not had a few big rats in his family."
"Brother Gao, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Fan Xiu'an felt extremely hated. Losing face from Gao Jin was second. What he hated most in his life was someone fooling him. This group of Chen Liang was obviously passive in Shenmuwei. It seemed that he had not made any noise for too long, which made many people think that Fan Xiu'an could not take the knife.
"Where is our nearest granary?"
Fan Xiu'an looked at the old shopkeeper. Fan Ji's shop started with a grain merchant. There were Fan Ji's granaries in the area here and they had connections with local garages, otherwise he would not have been able to become the seventh shopkeeper of the Suide merchant gang.
"It's still in Shenmu County."
The old shopkeeper replied, but there was a cold sweat on his forehead. He knew the temper of his master best. However, there was something wrong with the Fanji business in Shenmu County, but I was afraid that the Master had already had murderous intentions and wanted to change the Fanji business in Shenmu County from top to bottom.
"It's great, Brother Gao, it will take some time to transfer my troops, but I can't wait for that long. I wonder if Brother Gao can help me and kill a few disobedient slaves for me?"
Fan Xiu'an looked at Gao Jin. Among the entourages he brought on this trip, there were only about ten people who could fight. Although there were only a hundred people in Fanji Store in Shenmu County, Fan Xian'an, who was in charge, dared to exchange food on his back. I think he must have something to rely on, so he had to.
"Brother Fan is right? You and I are one. Your business is mine. I also want to go to Shenmu County to see the fun."
Gao Jin naturally agreed that Shenmu Castle was still too small. Although there was no shortage of various products, there were no spinning wheels and other items he wanted to buy.
"Brother Gao is really happy. After the matter is over, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on it myself. There will never be any problem with the food sent to Hekou Fort."
Fan Xiu'an said in a deep voice. Perhaps he was too concerned about his position in the Suide Merchant Gang over the years, but he ignored the operation of Fan Ji's business name, so that the slaves below bully the master. Although Fan Xian'an, his surname is Fan, he was just an illegitimate son born to adultery with someone. He dared to make trouble with him. Do you really think that he dare not kill anyone?
Seeing Fan Xiu'an's eyes terrified, Gao Jin knew that this trip to Shenmu County would definitely kill people and see blood, so he said, "Brother Fan, then I will say goodbye first. Brother Rong will go back and explain some things. Brother Fan, you can go to Liu Qianhu Mansion to find me."
"Brother Gao walked slowly."
Seeing Gao Jin leave, Fan Xiu'an looked at the old shopkeeper and the guys around him, and his eyes became extremely gloomy, "Shun Bo, to be honest, are your staff still reliable?"
"Don't worry, Master, there is no problem with me, and the guys below are all reliable old people."
The old shopkeeper is a slave of the Fan family for decades. Fan Xiu'an can call him Shun Bo in private. Now that he has received the old shopkeeper's reply, Fan Xiu'an's face looks better, "Okay, you can choose a few smart and smart guys who can take over the business in Shenmu County and go with us."
"Yes, Master."
The old shopkeeper was shocked. Fan Xian'an from Shenmu County was a traitor who was not as good as a child in his family. If the master had not kept this evil seed back then, wouldn't there be any Today's slaughter.
...
In front of Liu's mansion, after Ding Silang and his peddlers arrived, he looked at the two big stone lions in the house and never thought that he would come to the mansion of the Qianhu Master to call the door one day.
"Who is this Qianhu Master's mansion that you can also break into?"
There are servants in front of Liu's mansion. Although Ding Silang and his group of peddlers were dressed neatly and cleanly, they still looked shabby and would not be taken seriously by the servants in Liu's mansion.
"This master, the young Ding Si, came to the mansion to find someone named Wang Ding in the name of the high-ranking master."
Ding Silang straightened his back and walked forward, and reported his name. The Liu family's servant who was in the door was stunned for a moment. He thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't dare to stumbling. He just said, "You wait here, I'll go in and ask you."
Ding Silang was not in a hurry and waited in front of the Liu Mansion gate. Not long after, the side door of the Liu Mansion opened, and a group of black-clothed servants wearing spears and armor walked out, and the head was following the Liu Mansion servants who had been talking to him.
"I am Wang Ding, you are Ding Si."
Wang Ding looked at Ding Silang and the peddlers behind him. After receiving the reply, he saw the bag of silver in Ding Silang's hand, so he nodded and said, "Grandmaster has given him instructions. After leaving the city, you will make the decision and follow your orders."
While he was talking, several large trucks came out of the Liu Mansion, which were loaded with tents, coal stoves, grains and other supplies. Wang Ding took a few sets of black cloth cotton coats from the front cart and handed them to Ding Silang and the others. "Grandmaster said that we will not be able to come back for several days when we go out. If you put on these cotton coats, don't freeze. In addition, Gao Master also left a message. In that bag of silver, you can take one or two to go home to tell your family about the situation so that they can avoid worrying. I will wait for you here."
After taking the cotton coat and listening to Wang Ding's words, Ding Silang and the others were all very moved. No one would have thought that the high-ranking master would think so thoughtful for them. Moreover, they hadn't done anything, so they allowed them to take the money home first. You must know that they would not make this tael of silver in a month when they traveled to villages on weekdays.
Ding Silang untied his skin, gave silver to other peddlers, and then gave Liu Heizi two taels, "Liu Hei, please go there with my mother, and ask your family to help take care of it."
"Don't worry, I'll take your mother to my house later and be a companion with my wife."
Liu Hei agreed immediately, and after receiving the silver, he left with the others. Wang Dingze, who heard their conversation, said to Ding Silang, "You won't go back and see. Is it impossible to tell if we will come back this time?"
"Since my grandfather values me so much, I should serve you."
Ding Silang hugged the bag of silver in his hand tightly. Of course, he wanted to go back and announce the good news to me, so that I could know that he is promising now. When he meets a noble person, he might be able to shine his family in the future!
However, the bag of silver was handed over by Gao Ye himself. Ding Si did not dare to hand it over to Wang Ding and the others, and he did not dare to bring so much money home alone, so he could only ask someone to do it for him.
After hearing this, Wang Ding smiled. He didn't care who Ding Silang was, as long as he was loyal to the high-ranking master.
The peddlers go quickly and come back quickly. After all, they often leave home, but they rarely go out in winter. However, this trip is filled with money and the high-ranking men's soldiers, so everyone has no worries at home. Instead, every family is happy. Even Ding Silang's mother asked Liu Hei to bring him a message, asking him to do things well and not to embarrass the nobles.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the peddlers arrived, Wang Ding called them to get on the bus, so the group took the bus to the north city gate in the shattered wind and snow.
...
In the Liu Mansion, after Gao Jin brought Chen Sheng and Wang Dou and the others back, Yang Dayan, who followed Ding Silang all the way, reported to Gao Jin, "This Ding Si is not bad, and my second brother really did not see the wrong person."
"Big Eyes, go and call me brothers and call Ergou by the way. We are going to go out for a long trip!"
Yang Dawei left without even asking in detail. However, a short while, the remaining companions and Li Ergou's team of servants arrived at the front yard of the Liu Mansion, and even Liu Xun was alarmed.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is it because I am not well served for me? Why are you leaving just by saying that you're leaving!"
Liu Xun was still thinking about staying at Gao Jin tonight, so that Liu Wufu would pick a beautiful one from the maids in the mansion to send him to Gao Jin's room to warm the quilt, but he didn't expect Gao Jin would leave the door in the afternoon and leave.
"It's not that my brother is not well-received, but I really have something important to do. I have to go with Manager Fan."
Gao Jin and Liu Xun walked aside and briefly explained the matter of Fan Xiu'an asking him for help, which made Liu Xun feel at ease.
"Brother, this slave must be trusted by his master. If you go to Shenmu County, you have to be careful. After all, it is the Weili area."
Liu Xun frowned. He had also heard of the shopkeeper of Fanji Store in Shenmu County. It is said that it was a member of the Fan family and had some relationship with Ou Xin, the commander of the Weili. According to Liu Xun, the mixing of sand in the grain was a tacit rule that everyone in the border areas could understand, not to mention that this might involve Weili. Gao Jin really didn't need to go to this muddy water.
"Brother, you have to think clearly. Then Manager Fan is not a good deal. He said he wanted to ask for your help, and maybe he was cheating you."
Fan Xiu'an is the big shopkeeper of the Suide Merchant. According to reason, Liu Xun should not have dismantled his position, but he and Gao Jin were indeed in love. When things came to an end, they couldn't help but persuade him.
"Brother's reminder, I've written it down."
