The dust in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Qin Dong had already stood in front of the caravan, waiting for the arrival of the team of people.

More than 200 people came, which was obviously a relatively large force nearby. Sand thieves or horse bandits are all names. Even these people did not rely solely on robbery, but also did some business, trading population, buying and selling iron tools, buying and selling horses and camels, all of which were all for a living.

Cloth towels cover their mouths and noses, and even use more translucent gauze to cover their eyes. They are all for the purpose of preventing wind and sand. The horses are running next to the desert. The people in front of them are fine, but the people behind them are full of sand and soil, which is the only way.

The leading man came to his head, and did not pose a bow or arrow, nor did he draw a sword or a gun. Instead, he pulled the horse and untied the cloth scarf on his face. The horse stopped not far in front of Qin Dong, and he laughed and spoke in Northwest Chinese dialect: "Old man Qin, are you not dead yet? I thought you were dead and hadn't seen you for almost two years. I was thinking whether to send someone to Qinzhou to visit you for grave?"

When Qin Dong heard this, he smiled. But when Qin Dong's son Qin Wu heard this, his eyebrows were grim. Some people said that their father was definitely unhappy.

Then he heard Qin Dong answer: "If you don't die this year, next year and the next year, you will probably be buried in the soil, so there is no need to visit the grave. This time, when you go to the aisle, you will be considered as the cost of visiting the grave."

The man waved his hand and said, "Look at this time, such a large caravan, the one who passes here is your old man Qin's team. This time, there seems to be a lot more goods than before. It would be fine if you don't raise the price with you, but there will be less money. My brothers under my command will also have to eat to support the family. If you really die, you will definitely send someone to sing a stick of incense to you in the future."

The man spoke Chinese, which shows that this man was really a Han person. Although the land of Zhangye was the territory of the Tuoba tribe, there were quite a few Han people, and perhaps not necessarily fewer than Tuoba people. This was also the reproduction and reproduction since ancient times. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, over the past thousand years, the Han people were still the main population here.

Even though these words have grown old, today's affairs have probably passed just like this. Qin Dong did not have the intention of bargaining anymore. Instead, he turned to show another old man. The old man turned around and went into the fence of the carriage, probably to get the money.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wu, who had never spoken, suddenly asked: "How much does it cost to pass this road?"

When Qin Dong saw his son coming to ask, he thought Qin Wu was interested in going to business, and immediately replied: "Leader Li's territory is 1,400 taels."

The surname Li is obviously a Han Chinese. There are many surnames in the northwest. Just because the center of Li Tang is in the northwest. If the surname Li here has a genealogy at home, most of them can be related to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Just like Liu Bei, who weaves mats and sells shoes, it is the same thing that he is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.

When Qin Dong heard this, he looked up at the leader Li not far away, and suddenly said, "Two hundred cavalry, one thousand four hundred taels are needed to block the road. What's the reason? Can't those two hundred people be successful?"

Qin Dong spoke very much, and seemed to be talking to his father, but it seemed to be talking to the leader Li on the opposite side.

This naturally made Leader Li frown, but he still asked with a smile: "Old man Qin, who is talking?"

Qin Dong quickly replied: "Captain Li, this is a dog son. He is a business trip for the first time. He is a little young and energetic. Don't blame him!"

Qin Dong was naturally circling and explaining. Leader Li waved his hand when he heard this and said, "Young and energetic. Young people must gain more knowledge. In the future, will your son lead the traveler?"

This sentence stopped Qin Dong. Although Qin Dong had given up, he looked back at his son, thought about it before saying, "Maybe the dog will not go on this path."

Qin Dong turned around and looked at Master Zhong who had just come down from the mountain, without saying a word. Qin Dong seemed to really like Master Zhong.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wu, who was standing beside him, made him feel neglected when he heard the words of Leader Li. Leader Li was only over thirty years old, but he was so arrogant. He said that he was young and energetic. If he wanted him to gain knowledge, Qin Wu could not bear it. He spoke in a bad voice: "If you have the surname Li, you dare to collect 1,400 taels here? This road in the future was my way. Today, I will not pay the 1,400 taels, and I will not pay the 1,400 taels in the future. What can you do?"

Qin Wu was angry, and seemed to want to help his father once and for all. The money he earned by his old father will be his Qin Wu in the future. Why did he pay 1,400 taels for others in just a few words? Over the years, I don’t know how many 1,400 taels I have paid.

When Chief Li heard this, he raised his hand and touched his chin, and actually replied: "One thousand four hundred taels, one thousand four hundred taels, keep the 500-mile Gobi road peaceful, your Qin family will not lose money!"

Qin Dong turned around and glared at his son, scolding him: "If you are talking about the caravan, just listen to me! Don't say too much."

However, Qin Wuli ignored him. The more he heard his father scolding him, the more angry he became. He took a few steps forward and said angrily: "You can't get the money today. If you want to take action, I will take it one by one. If you don't dare to do it, get out with your eggs in your arms!"

When Chief Li heard this, he grabbed the reins with his hands and laughed, and he was a little harsh and fierce: "Old Man Qin, you really gave birth to an amazing son."

Qin Dong bowed to Leader Li repeatedly, and it was a loss. He said to Qin Wu: "Take you on the road, I hope you learn how to go business. If you really succeed, you will not be able to make trouble. Why don't you come back quickly."

Qin Wu was not willing to come back, and he still glared at the leader Li. The old man who took the money came out and a large package in his arms passed by Qin Wu. He saw Qin Wu pull out the knife from his waist and lift it up. The package in the old man's arms was picked out by Qin Wu with the back of his sword. It can be seen that Qin Wu is really capable of using a knife.

The old man was not prepared just now. Seeing that the money in his arms was gone, he turned to look and saw Qin Wu throwing the package on the ground with a package in his hand. Nearly a hundred kilograms of packages spread out, and silver ingots on the ground were scattered all over the ground.

Qin Wu also heard him say, "Today, even if you throw this money here, you can't get any of it."

Leader Li on the opposite side saw this scene, the silver scattered all over the ground was an insult. When the reins were lifted, his face turned grim. The horse was already half turned, and he said, "Excellent, he is a hero!"

After saying that, Leader Li turned his head and shouted, "Go!"

Two hundred knights left like the wind, leaving only dust all over the sky in an instant. Qin Dong couldn't even chase him.

"Why are you trying to ruin my business? Are you crazy?" Qin Dong was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

Qin Wu turned around and laughed: "Dad, how about it? Do you think he dares to do it? You are so easy to talk to. My son said a few words. Didn't this leader just run away with his tail? No wonder you used to go there and paid the toll for ten thousand taels of silver. Today, I took me and saved you this ten thousand taels. When I went back to Qinzhou, it would be no problem for me to buy more street shops."

Qin Dong was so angry that he couldn't even speak clearly. He covered his chest and coughed a few times, cursing: "You spoiled guy... you guy... are you scared away by you? He is going to gather people to buy a storefront. Is there a different way to say whether he has a life or not? I don't know how much money I have to pay for it. It's all that. If you die, how many families will it harm?"

Qin Dong naturally understood the ways of these horse bandits. He left at this time and walked very decisively. But he would definitely come back in a few days. At that time, it would no longer be a matter of buying money, but killing people and robbing people.

How could the livelihoods that the horse bandits rely on for survival pass through so easily? Although there are only two hundred people under the command of Leader Li, what about two? What about three? What about ten or eight?

Although these horse bandits compete for each other, it is too easy to gather such murder and robbery. Moreover, the Qin family broke the rules, which would make the horse bandits along the road easily gather.

Qin Dong understood this, but Qin Wu didn't understand it. Instead, he was still laughing: "Dad, I'm helping you once and for all. If you gather people, you'll gather people, kill one, and kill one pair. The knife in my hand is not a joke. Let's see how many people come to die. From now on, even if I don't follow this path, this path is my Qin family. This is the smart way. Fight him today. If the brothers come again, who dares to block the way and ask for money? The brothers will be brisk in the future."

Mr. Zhong frowned when he heard this. Under the power of King Tuoba, these horse bandits can still go around. Are these horse bandits an idiot? Can they get it once and for all?

Qin Dong sighed, shook his head repeatedly, turned over and got off the horse, leaned over and picked up the scattered silver ingots one by one. Who said this was his son? Helpless and helpless.

In desperation, he slowly picked up the silver ingots and put them in the package, then turned around and said to the old man: "Old Bao, go and prepare more silver, eight thousand taels. I hope that my old face can leave room for my life and say a few more words."

The old man was already thinking about the aftermath and how to rewind the matter. Qin Dong was familiar with the bandits along the road. As long as there was still room for talk, Old Man Qin still wanted to use money to solve the problem, and it would be okay to apologize for the crime.

The No. 500 Swordsman made some people extinguish their intention of killing and robbing people and do things according to the rules, rather than fighting and passing through the barriers.

The old man is not afraid of death, but is responsible for those businesses that trust him, and for those who follow him to do business. Doing business is always about seeking wealth, making good fortune with harmony, and an eternal truth.

Obviously, Qin Wu never regarded himself as a business person.

The world is full of rivers and lakes!

Just like Master Zhong, he has never been a member of Qin Dong. Master Zhong may be able to choose aisle, but Qin Wu actually has no choice. Qin Dong obviously wanted to choose, but he didn't know if he had the ability to choose.

Qin Wu saw his father leaning over under the horse and slowly picking up the pickup, so he quickly dismounted. While pulling the wrapping cloth in Qin Dong's hand, he said with a smile: "Dad, I've thrown it, I'll pick it up, you can rest. Just now, I'm just showing that person, I can't bear to give up this thousand four hundred taels of silver."

Qin Dong suddenly pulled the wrapping cloth in his hand and scolded: "Get out!"

Qin Wu seemed to be angry and said, "Dad, I'm all for your own good, and even more for my Qin family's business. This time, I will teach you how powerful I am! I will also let you know that your old and scheming thoughts are really useless."

After saying that, Qin Wu turned around and pulled the horse, and went into the fence by himself, and even bet on a gamble. He was so angry that his father was so unreliable that he was so angry that his hot face was pressed against his cold butt.

Master Zhong looked down at the knife in his hand, rubbed the handle of the knife wrapped in cowhide, shook his head, dismounted and went forward to help Old Manager Qin clean up the money on the ground.

Bianjing, the war factory.

Xu Zhong came back happily with a post and went straight to find Xu Jie.

Xu Jie and Liang Boyong were writing at their desks, and they were writing the case files of the three trials. The trial process was decided, which person was taken first, which witness was brought, and how many crimes were tried. After writing the decision, they would also be sent to the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple.

Xu Zhong put the post on the case a few times and laughed: "Jie'er, the matter is right. On the third day of September, it is appropriate to marry. Both parties have decided to welcome the bride on September 3rd!"

Xu Jie opened the post and saw each other's birth dates, many auspicious words, signatures written by Ouyang Zheng and Xu Zhong, and signatures by Xie Fang as matchmakers. The ceremony has been completed, so I will be waiting for the wedding to be married.

Xu Jie was naturally extremely happy, but subconsciously appeared in his mind like a white-clothed person, and the smile on his face stopped.

Xu Zhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that it will be lively for you. There are no shortage of horses and chariots. My second uncle also plays gongs and drums well. I lack a few suona players. I will go to the street to find them, buy some red silk jokes and red lanterns, and buy some new brocade quilts and clothes. My second uncle knows how to arrange them. Just do it and make the difference, and my second uncle has arranged them for you."

What are the struggles for power and profit, what are the fighting and killing? Xu Zhong only cares about the nephew getting married and having children, and the family is full of children and grandchildren.

Xu Jie heard the words and laughed loudly, saying, "Second uncle, you asked you to marry and have children, but you refused in every way. You are so concerned about my marriage. Why don't I find a good man for my second uncle? Our uncle and nephew will celebrate together, and we are happy."

Xu Jie was a joke. He thought Xu Zhong would shake his head and wave his hands, but Xu Zhong turned red and replied: "Now you have really grown up, passed the Jinshi, and became an official, and you will soon get married. I will no longer have to worry about it. It's okay for the second uncle to marry a house."

Xu Jie was shocked when he heard this, and was happy again. He stood up and asked again: "Does the second uncle take what he said seriously?"

Old Xu Zhong's face turned redder and nodded and smiled: "Take it seriously, take it seriously! Any widow who manages the family can marry a wife and stay at home to take care of her mother."

Xu Jie originally wanted to say "If you want to marry, marry Huanghua's eldest daughter", but he didn't say it, but said: "Then I will really pay attention to the second uncle."

Xu Zhong never answered again when he heard this, but picked up the post, got up and went out, and said, "I'll go to the street to find a few suona."
Chapter completed!
