C107 Black Merchant

Yu Longtang strolled around the mansion. Yu Longchen only came up after a long time with another new pet, servant girl. He spat out some alcohol and asked, "Why is Second Big Brother here?"

"Greetings, Second Prince." servant girl, who was beside Yu Longchen, bowed. She had a pretty face and a curvy body.

"You can leave now." Yu Longtang waved his hand.

Servant girl wanted to leave, but Yu Longchen pulled servant girl back. "What is Second Big Brother doing? This is my personal servant girl!" He bit more heavily and servant girl, who was beside him, said with a shy and strange voice, "Your Royal Highness..."

"Go down!" Yu Longtang got angry, and servant girl got scared as well. She gently broke free of Yu Longchen's arm and blessed herself. She dodged and looked at Yu Longtang. She stepped back.

"Why are you so angry?" Yu Longchen waved his white brocade robe and looked indifferent.

Yu Longtang did not know why he was angry. Looking at his current appearance, he felt uncomfortable. "In the past, I asked you to take in a few servant girl, but you were not willing. Now, you really have a lot of wives and concubines."

"Second Big Brother, let's get down to business." Yu Longchen rubbed his hands together. "She left. It's so cold."

"Although he has cut ties with Master Xun, Royal Father is starting to suspect him. Why didn't he just put the matter on Xun Yu..."

"He has planted doubts in Royal Father's heart. Slowly, it will be more beneficial to him. Have you finished the work of the Ministry of Works? "

"This is what I came to find you for today. You can make the things yourself, but you can only change them when you're in custody. Only once a year. There are a lot of people accompanying you, it's hard... "

" That's why we have to do this... "

"Everyone, our station is the safest, rest assured. If there's anything you need, just call me." The shopkeeper carried his long robe and walked up the stairs. These officials were from the Ministry of Works. They only passed by once a year, but they gave the most silver taels. So they were a big guest.

"We brothers have also been betting for a few years. We can rest assured here. You serve the best food for us brothers, there's no need for the wine " escort officer had a serious expression on his face as he circled around his mouth. "Place it on the table on the second floor. We will come out to eat later."

"Yes." The shopkeeper smiled and bowed. After leading the waiter to his room, he ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.

After a while, the fragrant dishes were all served. escort officer had just taken off his armor after a tiring day. When he smelled the fragrance, he stretched his back and twisted his neck. He laughed and laughed as he surrounded the table and began to eat heartily.

Just as he was eating with relish, the door opened and a few people wearing bamboo hats came in. The manager's post house was doing business on the road outside of the capital, and he would meet everyone. The manager went up to take care of them with familiarity.

Escort officer's head sat on the second floor, drinking tea as he looked at the people on the first floor. Looking at his attire, he did not look like someone from the capital, so he could not help but stare at them more.

He couldn't hear what those people were saying to the manager. Following the direction they were pointing at, there were seven or eight carriages at the door. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly. escort officer wanted to turn his head back and think that they were just some passing peddlers.

In the blink of an eye, the wind outside the door blew, bringing up a piece of fabric. The moonlight was shining down, reflecting the light of the things on the car. It was dazzling. escort officer's heart skipped a beat. This was a weapon!

He narrowed his eyes again, wanting to see more clearly. After confirming, he made a hand gesture to his subordinates. Everyone acted as if nothing had happened and only held the sword at their waist with their left hands.

Perhaps because they noticed something, the people on the first floor looked towards the second floor. escort officer had just turned his gaze away when the people on the first floor stopped looking. He looked at the few carts of goods outside the door and personally saw the waiter carry them down.

There was always killing intent hidden in the night. escort officer ordered his subordinates to get up, but before they arrived, all of them put on their clothes and waited at the door of the room. They only waited for escort officer to give the order, and then they went out in full force.

Their goal was only to find out the origin of the people on the first floor, as well as the things in the vehicles.

The group of people jumped off the second floor and ran towards the backyard.

The cold wind hit the thing that blocked it, making a series of sounds, just enough to cover the sound of footsteps.

"Boss, the door is locked." His subordinate went up and fiddled with the handle.

"As expected, this post house is full of customers' goods. There are special rooms for all of them, and there are four to five strong men inside. The door was locked and opened the next day when the customer took his things out. Therefore, this door cannot be opened forcefully. " escort officer frowned. This was indeed not easy to handle. He could only blame himself for forgetting about it just now.

"Boss, I know how to open locks." One of the people volunteered to come forward. There was a thin wire, "I've learned a little before, but I don't know if it's useful or not."

"Let's try it." escort officer did not care. How would he know if he did not give it a try?

That person went up and fiddled with it. He didn't open it for a long time. When escort officer thought that there was no way to open it, a cracking sound was heard and the lock was unlocked.

"Sure, kid!" escort officer patted his shoulder, "I'll reward you with a few taels of silver later."

"Thank you, Chief." Although that person was puzzled, this lock shouldn't be so easy to open, but getting a reward was better than anything else.

Escort officer slowly opened the door. Looking at the room that was not very quiet, he wondered why he had not woken up yet. He reached out and lifted the cloth covering the nearest car. Under the moonlight, the metal sheet was cast with a cold light. So this was what he had seen just now.

It was like a wave from inside. More than ten people carried knives and walked in. They surrounded the bed of the night watch. There were seven or eight people. They were not the waiters in the post house, but the people who pressed things.

Escort officer arranged good people. He picked up the iron sheet and let out a sound." This time, the night watchman was woken up by the sound of "Ka La Ka La. A few of them crawled up with sleepy eyes and were about to take out their weapons. However, they were already surrounded by people who were holding knives around their necks. They did not dare to move. They didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Bring out the candles." escort officer stretched out his hand and handed over a burning torch.

There were boxes under the iron sheet. He asked someone to bring one down and open it. Inside were all kinds of gemstones. His eyes lit up. "Let's see if the rest of the cars are here."

After his subordinate gave the order, they all started moving. escort officer picked up the gemstones in the boxes one by one. He looked carefully. Although he did not understand much, judging from the color, it should be the upper layer. There were jade and jade. If they were black goods, cut them off and sell them. That would be enough to spend more than ten lifetimes.

"Boss, this car is."

"This car is also the same."

"And this car."

"[Head, both of them.]"

"Then they are the black merchants!" Hearing their report, escort officer became excited and walked in front of the merchants. "Where is your tokens for entering and exiting the pass?"

"Master, we are just ordinary merchants. Let us go..." One of them begged with a different tone.

Escort officer smiled strangely. "These are all black goods, right? Where are you people from?"

"Reporting to Lord Shangguan, I dare not hide it. It's all the truth. " escort officer saw that he was not telling the truth, so he killed the person beside him with his own hands.

That person's face was covered with warm blood, and he was so scared that he directly knelt on the bed. "Master Guan, these few carriages are for you. Let us live a cheap life, Master Guan."

"Then will you tell everyone about what happened tonight?"

"I'll rot in my stomach for the rest of my life!"

"Alright, escort them out. Don't let me see them again!" escort officer turned around and pointed at the few of them. He caressed the carts full of gemstones. He smiled sinisterly and whispered in the ears of the person who sent the merchant out, "Clean them up!"
