Chapter 141: Robbery of Silver
Ye Yi was the talkative one, so he asked casually, "Master! You really don't need us to follow you? Isn't it a bit risky? The three of us have always been together, and suddenly we don't have to follow you, I feel uneasy."
Ye Er nodded and said, "Master! Should we just follow from a distance?"
"That's fine, but don't let Miss Du know." Ye Tingxiao lowered his voice, his eyes inadvertently revealing a rare tenderness, "She said she wouldn't let me take you with me."
Looking at his master's back as he walked away, Ye Yi suddenly felt like he had been abandoned by his master.
"It's over. The master listens to Du Dalang so much. What are we going to do in the future?"
"What do you mean? If we don't protect the master's safety as usual, what else can we do?" Ye Er thought Ye Yi's question was a little funny, and asked him back, "What do you want to do? Compete with Miss Du for favor?"
Ye Yi was startled: "Competing for favor? Ye Er! What are you thinking? I don't mean that."
"You'd better not." Ye Er got in the car, beckoned Ye Yi to get in, and walked towards Fang Xi in the County Magistrate's Mansion, "Let me tell you! Miss Du will most likely be our mistress in the future. Didn't you realize that the master is deeply in love with her?"
"She is quite good as our mistress. Du Dalang is very capable, and all the brothers have benefited from her." Thinking of the brothers who had improved their internal strength during training, Ye Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart, "She is the best mistress for us. If we have any difficulties in the future, we don't need to ask anyone for help, just go to her."
Ye Er glanced at Ye Yi and said, "Now that you know this, you must respect Miss Du. Don't be so careless and call her Du Dalang. The master will be unhappy if he hears it. Be careful that he will punish you."
"ah?"
When he heard that he was going to be punished, Ye Yi became nervous. A few days ago, his master's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he acted as if everyone owed him millions of taels of silver.
Later, he felt much better. He had been worried for many days before he finally let go. He was also told that he would be punished. He was really scared. Once the master punished someone seriously, he would be merciless and would torture him to death.
He won't stop until he has exhausted the opponent.
"What? Be polite when talking to Miss Du in the future. Even though she is dressed in men's clothes, she is still a girl after all." Ye Er was worried about her and advised Ye Yi earnestly, "She doesn't care and she is familiar with us, but we can't disrespect her. She will be our master in the future.
It is a blessing for us brothers to have such a capable mistress. Look at the good things she gave us, did you feed them to the dogs? In exchange for your respect for her?"
Ye Yi felt aggrieved: "She told me to call her Du Dalang, not that I don't respect her."
Ye Er was so disappointed: "She was just being polite, why are you taking it so seriously? Okay, okay, I'll spare you the trouble. You can shout whatever you want, but don't blame me for not reminding you."
The two men drove the carriage in silence all the way. When they arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, they handed the carriage to someone else, picked out two horses from the stable, and took their master's "Black Wind" with them, and went out of the city again.
Du Wanwan and Ye Tingxiao went out of the city gate and followed Xiao Qi all the way south. Afraid that Ye Tingxiao might not be able to find them, Ye Tingxiao made marks along the way that only their secret guards could understand.
In a valley sandwiched between two southern mountains, there is a farm that looks quite large.
Xiao Qi stood on Du Wanwan's shoulder and kept shouting "Wow wow wow wow". Ye Tingxiao didn't understand anything, but Du Wanwan knew the front and back doors of the villa clearly.
She told Ye Tingxiao: "Many men have come to the villa and are staying inside. We must be careful when we go in."
Xiao Qi flew away with a whoosh: "Master! I'll go call my mother to report the situation to you."
Yetingxiao looked at the wind passing over his head and thought that the little crow was actually quite cute. It was so black that it would not be easily noticed wherever it went at night.
"Baofeng Bank actually has a farm here. It's so secretive. There must be some unspeakable secret." Ye Tingxiao squatted down, "Wanwan! You don't know Qinggong. I'll carry you on my back and go over to take a look."
"Wait a minute, wait for Aunt Hua to come. We must understand the situation in the villa. If we go in rashly, we might easily alert the enemy."
Du Wanwan asked Ye Tingxiao to stand up first, and the two hid behind a big tree, waiting for Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua arrived very quickly, and with Xiaoqi leading the way, there was no wasting time at all.
"Master! You've come just in time. I've counted and there are forty-eight men inside. The tall and burly one is the leader. Everyone calls him Mu Tou."
"Wood?" Du Wanwan was surprised. "Why does it sound weird? What else?"
"I heard from them that the silver will arrive in a different place only. It needs to be sent to Dezhou Wharf as soon as possible and brought to Beijing by water."
Aunt Hua is indeed an old crow. Even though she doesn’t know what those people mean, she can still mimic them.
He had learned the words of the "wooden man" completely. As soon as it finished speaking, Yaya gave it food and drink, not in front of Ye Tingxiao, but behind Du Wanwan.
Du Wanwan pestered Ye Tingxiao to talk to him, just blocking his view and distracting his attention.
"Ye Tingxiao! How long does it take to get to Texas Pier from here?"
"Texas Wharf?" Ye Tingxiao frowned. "Texas Wharf is a very small wharf. Generally, no one loads or unloads goods there. It takes at least ten days to get there. Wanwan! Why are you asking this?"
"A batch of silver will arrive at Baofeng Money House tonight. It will go through Dezhou Wharf and be shipped to the capital by water." Du Wanwan told him what Aunt Hua had just said, and she was eager to see his reaction.
"Go through Texas Wharf? Are you sure?" Ye Tingxiao frowned deeply, "The King of Qi is really capable, he chose a road that no one would notice.
The Dezhou wharf is not big, and there is not much cargo. If there is not much cargo, it is reasonable for him to choose this route. Silver? Why would he transfer silver from Liangjun City to the capital? This is too strange. "
"What's so strange about that? I guess the money he used to open Baofeng Bank was not taken out from the capital, but he used Baofeng Bank to transfer money to the capital. Otherwise, why would he open a bank? And he did it so covertly, there must be something fishy going on."
Du Wanwan never thought that someone would overestimate their own abilities and do something that would be laborious and fruitless. The King of Qi must have had a hidden purpose in opening the Baofeng Bank.
"Your analysis is correct, Wanwan! What are you going to do?"
Ye Tingxiao didn't know where she got the information from. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be from these two crows. It must be said that having these two little birds around her was like someone else's hard work and experience of more than ten years to cultivate an intelligence organization.
If this ability could be used in a battle between two armies, I wonder how many soldiers would be saved from death.
Du Wanwan laughed maliciously: "I want to rob the silver, put mud and sand in the box, and let them carry it back happily. What do you think?"
