Fan Yongdou's eldest son Fan Sanbu came, Wang Dengku's son Wang Youyi also came, and the Tian family and Zhai family also sent people.

They came for the batch of Loufan iron materials and iron pots.

Yang Yexing came to Loufan this time mainly to discuss the shipyard with Qinchuan. He did not bring many mules and horse carts, so he transported very little goods this time, only 80,000 kilograms of iron material and 3,000 iron pots.

After these goods fell into Liu Liangzuo's hands, he immediately sent someone to Xuanda to find buyers because the buyers there could pay higher prices.

Fan Sanbu and others were moved when they heard the news, rushed from Zhangjiakou Fort and entered Shouyang City overnight.

Although the number of iron materials and iron pots is not large, and there is not much difference among several people, these Loufan iron materials and iron pots are better than those of Guangzhou Iron and Guangzhou Iron Iron and Guangzhou Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron Iron I

On weekdays, they can't get these goods even if they try every means. Now a batch of them appears out of thin air, so they must not let them go. Even if one person gets tens of thousands of kilograms of iron or hundreds of pots, they can earn thousands of taels of silver when transported out.

Several people were introduced to the second hall of the county government. After sitting for a while, Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Yixiang and others arrived.

"I've met Lord Liu and Lord Zhang."

Liu Liangzuo was from Datong. The Fan family and other merchants also traded grains for Datong border troops. They knew each other well. When they saw him coming in, Fan Sanbu and others stood up to salute him.

"Please don't be too polite, please sit down quickly, please sit down."

Liu Liangzuo bowed with a smile.

After a few people sat down, Liu Liangzuo said straight to the point: "Everyone, the situation is a bit urgent now. The Qin thieves are leading troops to attack Taiyuan City. They will arrive in Shouyang in a few days. Therefore, these iron materials and iron pots must be transported out of Shouyang early tomorrow morning, otherwise they will not be able to leave when the Qin thieves arrive."

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Sanbao, Wang Youyi and others' expressions changed.

"Sir, can the Qin thieves divide their troops to advance to Shouyang?"

"No, according to the report of the horse exploration, after Qin Chuan came out of Luliang Mountain yesterday, he divided three thousand soldiers and horses to plunder. He personally led 5,000 main forces to attack Taiyuan City. When he withdrew his troops at dusk yesterday, there were still five thousand soldiers and horses, and there were no troops. The three thousand soldiers and horses were also dispersed to attack various villages and towns."

"Then...will he split his troops at night, or suddenly turn to Shouyang today?"

"No, Wang Zhong from Taiyuan City killed dozens of Guandi Army, captured his men, and robbed a lot of glassware and silver. He must have fought Taiyuan, but he only had five thousand troops. If he divided his troops, he would not have enough troops to attack Taiyuan."

"What's more, if his troops are ringing, the horses outside Taiyuan City will definitely be aware of it and will report it quickly. But today, several reports have been reported, only saying that after Qin Chuan rested for a night last night, he brought another 2,000 troops out of the camp early this morning and continued to bombard Taiyuan City. The people and horses in the camp were noisy and shouting shocked the sky. It was obvious that most of the troops were staying in the camp to practice."

Hearing these words, Fan Sanbu, Wang Youyi and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have 20,000 kilograms of pig iron, 60,000 cooked iron, 2,000 large pots of three feet, 500 kilograms of one foot and eight inch small pots, each of 500 kilograms of one foot and one foot and eight inch small pots. Please give me a price."

Everyone looked at Fan Sanbao together.

Fan Sanbao pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, let's make the decision according to the price of Qinchuan. It is fair to everyone. Among them, one or two kilograms of pig iron, one or two kilograms of cooked iron, one or two kilograms of large pots, five kilograms of medium pots, and two kilograms of small pots, how about it?"

"Um……"

Liu Liangzuo stroked his not thick beard and looked at the side.

Seeing Zhang Yixiang and Wang Shiyingdu nodding slightly, he nodded: "Okay, then according to Mr. Fan, I will get the money tonight."

"No problem, we have brought all the money."

"Okay, those people will discuss how to divide these goods. By the way, we have to have two drinks. After the discussion, we will send someone to count the goods. Let's just wait here for wine and buy and sell wine."

"Thank you for the hospitality."

"Come on, prepare a banquet."

...

The west wall of Shouyang City.

Just after the third update, two defenders who had just changed shifts patroled a few steps, threw a few torches outside the city, then hugged under the wall, took out a bag of wine he had secretly brought from his arms, and two lamb legs wrapped in rags.

After General Liu and Magistrate Zhang paid a large amount of money, they slaughtered dozens of pigs and sheep for them. The two lamb legs were secretly hidden in order to have wine and meat when they were on the night in the city.

The two were eating happily, and suddenly a sound of footsteps came not far away, which was so shocked that they quickly put away the wine and meat like mice, then stood up and looked at the visitor.

The visitor seemed to be a team of patrol soldiers, about a dozen people.

"The smell of alcohol came from afar. Have you both drunk?"

Before the arrival of the person came, a majestic voice came.

The two defenders were shocked and broke down and met the military governor.

However, the other party's voice was very strange, unlike the people in their camp.

"Which camp are you from?" A defender asked with courage.

"Hmph! The Ming Military Law strictly prohibits drinking during nighttime hours. Are you two guilty?

The man did not answer them, but led a dozen soldiers straight to them.

The other party's appearance was not clear in the night, but when he heard this, the two defenders were so scared that their faces turned pale.

If the visitor is a policing officer with strict law enforcement, they will not be able to escape military law.

"Well, for the sake of everyone living and dying together, I won't pursue you two this time, but..."

The officer in charge stretched out two fingers and twisted them.

The two defenders immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then obediently took out two cents of silver from their respective pockets.

When they handed over the money, the two took the opportunity to look at each other a few times, but they had never seen the officer before.

The officer took the silver and frowned: "Where are you sending the beggars with four cents of silver? Go and search their bodies, silver, and wine and meat, and don't let them go."

"yes."

Ten soldiers behind the officer rushed over without saying a word when he heard this.

"Hey... sir, the only one who is small is this little money, so why don't you wait until you get the salary..."

The two defenders begged with bitter faces, but without saying a word, they suddenly stretched out a big hand behind them, covering their mouths at the same time, and each had a sharp knife stabbed into their backs, and a small piece of the knife tip appeared from their left chest.

The two defenders twitched a few times, let out a muffled groan, and soon fell limp.

"Hurry up, your hands and feet are quick."

Among the ten soldiers, an old man grinned with big yellow teeth and said to others with a smile.

"yes."

The others quickly took out two bundles of ropes they brought with them, tied the two bodies, and hung them down the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, two more people wrapped the rope in rags and flexibly slid along the rope out of the city wall.

When they arrived at the corner of the wall, the two cut off two pieces of rope, tied two stones to the corpse, and then gently pushed the corpse into the moat.

Immediately afterwards, the two went into the water to swim across the moat and ran wildly towards the west.

After running two miles, a muffled shout suddenly came from the woods ahead: "What are you doing?"

"Dish seller."

"Give two Penglai certificates."

"Okay."

The two of them deserved to be so quick that they rushed straight into the woods without reducing their speed.

Not long after, a few fast horses came out of the woods and continued to run west.

...

Shouyang City is more than 150 miles away from Taiyuan. In the past two days, there have been many Ming army probing horses sent by Liu Liangzuo, Wang Zhong's people, and Yuci, Yangqu, Mengxian and other prefectures and counties.

Most of the many people who are not aware of each other, and there is no unified code. They identify each other entirely by clothing, accents and waist brands.

Starting from last night, there was another straitor dressed in the Ming army, which was like a net, moving from Taiyuan to Shouyang.

All the Ming army probes I encountered along the way were either tricked by the group of people dressed in the Ming army and killed them unexpectedly, or were forcibly surrounded and killed by three or five people.

Even if someone runs fast, he will be shot down by the opponent's bird gun.

In this way, this group of people was like a sickle, fighting from Taiyuan City to Shouyang City.

Behind them was a cavalry wrapped in horseshoes, with a total of two thousand people, leading a general with a hideous scar on his face.

He was Liu Youzhu, who, under the order of Qin Chuan, quietly rushed to Shouyang, preparing to intercept Liu Liangzuo, and wanted to recover 100,000 taels of silver.

When they were only twenty or thirty miles away from Shouyang City, several cavalrymen shouting "Selling Discs" suddenly appeared in front of them.

Soon, the cavalrymen who sold discs were brought to Liu Youzhu and saluted. One of them said respectfully: "Report to General Liu, Mr. Huang, I ordered us to come and send a message. A group of merchants came to Shouyang City and entered the city tonight in the evening."

"Old Master Huang spent some money and found out from the people from the county government that this group of merchants came from Zhangjiakou Fort, including the Fan family, Wang family, Tian family and Zhai family. The four families had a total of about 1,300 guards, more than 200 coachmen and a small number of servants."

"After the four merchants entered the city, they went directly to the county government. Mr. Huang probably went to Liu Liangzuo to buy iron materials and iron pots."

"Old Master Huang also estimates that they will start shipping to the north early tomorrow morning or even in the early morning."

"There are also the 100,000 taels of silver. Liu Liangzuo and others will never leave the silver in the city. They will probably ship north with the Fan family and other merchants to other prefectures and counties for temporary storage. They may also be transported to the Zhending Prefecture area in the east alone, because that area is the safest."

"Old Master Huang said that he would take his brothers to keep an eye on the batch of silver. Once Liu Liangzuo sent someone out of the city, he would wait for an opportunity to follow him."

After hearing this, Liu Youzhu nodded, then frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

"Lao Qi, you lead five hundred brothers and set up an ambush from the south to the east of Shouyang City overnight to prevent those dog officials from transporting silver to Zhending."

"The rest of the people, follow me to the north of Shouyang City to set up an ambush. Tomorrow morning, let's kill the group of profiteers from Zhangjiakou Fort first."

"The general said that in the future, I will meet the Fan family, Wang family, Tian family, Zhai family, Jin family, Liang family and Huang family in Zhangjiakou Fort. Even if I kill them, no one will be left."
