Chapter 304 Playing tricks
"Young Master, do you have any other instructions?" Butler Zhang lowered his head.
"Send a message to the Hu brothers. I want 60%." Wu Xingchen said.
“Yes…” —The sun sets and night falls.
A horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly on a small road in the suburbs in the night.
The wind was freezing cold, and the driver couldn't help but shrink his neck and gave a loud whip to the horses that were lazy and unwilling to move forward.
The horse felt pain and struggled to move forward.
The forward speed suddenly increased, and the carriage was shaken. Moreover, due to the potholes on the small road, it shook violently, and Wu Xingyu, who was originally lying flat on the carriage and was unconscious and even had difficulty breathing, was almost shaken and fell off.
"Drive more steadily!" another person sitting in the rickshaw shouted.
"Okay!" The driver slowed down a bit, looking at Wu Xingyu from time to time, and smacked his lips, "Do you think this guy is dead?"
"I guess he's dead," another person answered impatiently, "Why do you care if he's dead or not? Our job is to take him to a mass grave. Whether he's dead or alive is none of our business."
"That's right." The driver nodded and raised the lantern higher in his hand. "Once we send the person there, we will go back and have a drink to get rid of the cold and negative energy in our bodies..."
Speaking of this gloomy aura, the driver suddenly remembered the pile of white bones on the mass grave and the fact that he had heard people say that there were ghosts nearby. He shuddered and asked, "Do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
"You..." Another person was about to yell, but when he looked up, he saw a blue-green thing that looked like a flame, coming towards their carriage from afar.
Very fast.
Swallowing the unfinished words, he asked with trembling hands, "What is that?"
"Ghost, will-o'-the-wisp?" The coachman was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.
When the two people were shaking with fear, they saw a white shadow floating back and forth in the sky, swaying and moving with the wind, and coming straight towards them!
At first they seemed to be at a loss, as if their feet were nailed to the ground. When a gust of wind blew over and they came to their senses, they let out a loud scream and didn't even bother to take the carriage. They just crawled back, crying for their parents.
In the cold wind, there was only one carriage left on the path. The horse sniffed and sneezed loudly.
Shi Ding and Du Song walked up to them and looked at each other.
"These two guys are so timid. They ran away in fear before we even showed up." Du Song scratched his ear.
Shi Ding stretched out his hand and slapped Du Song on the forehead, "I told you not to carry the blue lantern but you refused to listen. You are wearing white clothes in the middle of the night. It's strange that people are not scared away!"
"We came here to rob someone, but now we're acting like ghosts!"
You can rely on your strength, but now you have to rely on skills.
Say it out loud, it will bring shame to the secret guards!
Du Song touched his nose helplessly, "I always wear a black nightgown on weekdays. I thought that since I came to rob openly this time, I could at least change into brighter colored clothes."
This dress was made in Linglong Pavilion. Wearing a moon-white dress and holding a blue paper lantern, when he walks outside at night, he will look like an elegant young man walking out of the misty rain of Jiangnan!
At that time, people would think that I was a weak young man who was powerless, and then I would show my fist and knock the opponent to the ground. This would be a very exciting thing! I really didn't expect that this would be the result...
All my ideas have been wasted.
Du Song sighed for a long time, thinking that it was a real waste to wear this outfit today.
"Don't be sad about the passing of autumn and the passing of spring. Take this guy back quickly." Shi Ding stretched out his hand to test Wu Xingyu's neck. "He is still breathing. He can still be saved. But if it's too late, he will really meet his death."
The doctor is already waiting, so we have to hurry.
"Yes." Du Song agreed, reached out to pull Wu Xingyu, put him in the carriage they had brought, and hurried to a farm in the suburbs under the cover of night. ——The sun was shining brightly, bringing some warmth to the early winter of early October.
As transportation is severely affected in winter, all industries involved in cargo transportation are particularly busy at this time. They all want to take advantage of the last month or so to prepare the cargo.
Therefore, Qinghe, as one of the ferry crossings and adjacent to the capital, became particularly lively.
The streets are bustling with merchants coming and going and vendors hawking their wares.
It was almost noon when two carriages entered the county seat of Qinghe County one after the other.
Although the leading carriage looked spacious, it was obviously a bit old, and it made a creaking sound when the axle turned. The second carriage was spacious and luxurious, and was maintained in a brand new state. Even the strings hanging on the carriage were made of beads strung with fine thread.
Next to the carriage, there were many servants in green clothes, making for a grand scene.
Such carriages were not common in Qinghe, and were clearly beyond the specifications of ordinary merchants, causing people walking on the road to avoid them.
The carriage obviously did not take ordinary people into consideration. It ignored other carriages and pedestrians on the road and just kept moving forward.
A peddler carrying a shoulder pole was nearly hit by a carriage because the goods in the baskets hanging on both ends of the pole were too heavy and he failed to dodge in time. He staggered for several steps before he managed to stand firm, but several of the baskets full of apples rolled down.
Some were picked up, some were crushed... Only the two at the feet were picked up by the peddler, and their skin was broken.
The peddler's face was full of heartache. He looked at the carriage and said angrily, "What kind of carriage is this? It's so arrogant and domineering. Its eyes are as high as the sky."
"Hush, keep your voice down. This carriage is so spacious and magnificent, and it looks quite impressive. Maybe it's a noble from the capital. We ordinary people can't afford to offend him. The mouth can cause trouble!" someone reminded.
The peddler was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately and walked into the alley with his shoulder pole.
Because of this, pedestrians on the road became more evasive, and the originally bustling streets were forcibly left with a huge gap.
The carriage moved forward smoothly and its speed increased rapidly.
Hu Xingxian lowered the curtain and said in amazement, "Look, for something like this, we have to go to the Wu family."
"Brother, what you said is absolutely right." Hu Xingyi nodded. "Butler You Zhang has come to Qinghe specially. This matter must be fine. Our Juweizhai can be saved!"
"Yeah." Hu Xingxian was also a little excited. His mind was full of scenes of Juweizhai being extremely bustling, packed with guests, and making a fortune every day.
When Juweizhai returns to its former glory, their family will still be able to make a lot of money! As for the fact that 60% of the money earned will be distributed to the Wu family...
