Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

Liu Wendou hurriedly changed into the clothes he wore to meet the guests, fearing that he would waste time and drag his boots on the ground. When he got outside the door, he had already heard from the housekeeper that the guest came in through the back door, as if to avoid being noticed.

This reminder made Liu Wendou more sure of his guess. The people coming were the group of uncles in the city today.

In the yard, seven or eight big men were waiting there with seven or eight horses. Behind the leader stood two tough men. It was obvious at a glance that they were guards.

Judging from the momentum alone, these people are not just simple knights. They are neatly dressed, and there is no hint of alcoholism on their faces. Instead, they are upright and unpredictable.

The men leading the horses opened their clothes without scruples, revealing the stainless steel breastplates underneath.

You know, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty formulated by Boss Zhu, collecting armor at home is a crime against the nine clans. If one person is convicted, the whole family will be implicated. Most people do not have the courage. Those who have the guts have already taken care of themselves so that no accidents will happen, but they will not go out wearing them, let alone wearing armor so blatantly.

Someone among the armored men was gently stroking the horse's mane. The horse's mane, which was trimmed very short and neatly, was dyed with a light red under the setting sun. The shoes on the horse's feet clattered as the horse sniffed.

Among this small group of horses, there were two horses that were obviously pack horses, carrying two heavy oilcloth bags on their backs. It was unknown what items were inside.

"A few distinguished guests are here. What's important?"

After taking a brief look at the people who came, Liu Wendou was a little relieved that these people were definitely not bandits or pirates who killed people and stole goods, let alone anti-grain mobs from nearby counties. But his posture was still very low. This was the murderer today. If they disagreed, it was not impossible to take out a knife and hack him to death.

"This gentleman must be Mr. Liu, the old parent of Jinping County?"

Weizhou responded to Liu Wendou's questions with a smile.

"My parents can't bear it, but they are just doing something for the people."

"Master Liu, you're welcome!" Weizhou laughed, raised his head to Liu Wendou's side, and asked, "You and I had some interactions on the city wall today. I wonder if County Magistrate Liu still remembers me?"

"You, you are?!"

Liu Wendou took a quick look and saw that the gentle scholar-looking person in front of him turned out to be the person who sent hundreds of people to clean up in front of the King of Hell in the city chatting and laughing today. The leader of the group of uncles couldn't help but make Liu Wendou feel surprised. He took a few steps back.

"Yes, that's right. I'm here today because I'm so reckless and bothering you, sir."

"It's not in the way, no..." Liu Wendou replied robotically.

"Okay, then I won't delay Magistrate Liu's comfortable life, and go directly to the topic. The reason for coming here this time is for nothing else, but to talk about a big fortune with you."

After saying this, Weizhou nodded slightly to the two guards standing behind him. Then the two guards walked up to the pack horses, pulled out the long swords on their waists, and slashed at the two pack horses!

The sharp knife instantly scratched the cloth bag on the horse's back. Suddenly, a long gash opened in the bag, and the contents rolled out of the bag.

The paper package wrapped in oil paper was thrown to pieces on the floor paved with green bricks in Liu's Mansion. The contents of the paper package bounced around on the ground and collided with the blue bricks, making bursts of crisp and sweet sounds.

It seemed that he wanted to shock Magistrate Liu in order to create a more powerful visual impact.

The man waving the long sword in his hand pulled the two pack horses forward a few steps, and walked directly in front of Liu Wendou. The silver coins wrapped in oil paper in the cloth bag on the carriage were like rain falling, jingling all over the floor. Passing through the corridor.

"What I did during the day was an act of helplessness to protect myself, and it disturbed Magistrate Liu. A few trivial things, three thousand silver dollars, were used to calm the panic."

"What!?"

"Three thousand silver dollars?!"

"That's three thousand!"

"Given it to me?" Liu Wendou couldn't believe this sudden good thing.

"It's for Magistrate Liu, unless you are not Magistrate Liu of Jinping County!" Weizhou laughed and looked at the guy in front of him who was stunned by the silver dollar.

He was really afraid that if Mr. Liu accidentally suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and left happily, it would be a real joke. After all, such things happened often in history.

Even though he was repeatedly confirmed by the person in front of him, Liu Wendou still came over for a while before he reacted.

Today he is definitely valued by Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth!

You can actually receive money in and outside the city!

From the distribution in the city, he could get at least a thousand dollars, and a group of people outside the city sent another three thousand silver dollars. Today is definitely a good day!

"I wonder if this little brother has anything to teach me?"

Mr. Liu tried his best to move his eyes away from the road covered with white silver coins. This was more tempting to him than the charming concubine in his room. He reluctantly took a look at it, which seemed to be a few brighter Yonglu, then reluctantly turned around.

"My younger brother Weizhou is an ordinary businessman who travels between the north and the south. I want to make a deal with you."

merchant?

An ordinary businessman!

Liu Wendou smiled bitterly in his heart, and then sneered in his heart: I have been in Jinping County for many years and have met more than a hundred local merchants and gentry. How often have I seen a businessman like you? The merchants only bring guards and servants, but you today, tut tut. Those guards were simply much more fierce than the soldiers in the towns!

But when I think so in my heart, my mouth is just the opposite, very enthusiastic.

"Although I am a minister, I am also very interested in commercial goods. I fully intend that one day, if I can no longer sit in the officialdom, I will resign and imitate Tao Zhugong. I will help the world with my idle clouds and wild cranes!"

"Magistrate Liu has such great ambitions!"

"Haha, I'm just trying my best! Please! Let's talk in detail in the study!" Liu Wendou stepped forward and held hands with his arms, as if he and Weizhou were old friends for many years.

Stepping into the study, Liu Wendou stopped at the door of the study and reprimanded the housekeeper who was standing in the yard like a clay puppet.

"You bastard! Didn't you see that a distinguished guest came to your door? Why don't you just stand there and write! Why don't you quickly go and tell your wife to arrange good food and wine for my little brother and his entourage? Also, tell your wife, Clean up the yard!”

The housekeeper looked at the pile of silver coins scattered on the ground in the yard with his mouth open, and then touched the two pitiful silver coins in his pocket and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It is better for this person to be an official. He can’t earn more than ten taels a month from his hard work, but he has taken so much this time!

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious!

Even the housekeeper wanted to pay him a small sum of money to see if he could go to Mr. Xiong to ask for some errands, so that he could take the heat here.

Soon the housekeeper went to the inner house to find his wife. The wife was overjoyed when she heard the good news. She took everyone in the house to arrange food and drinks for the guards and clean up the floor. Especially when cleaning the floor, her eyes were very careful. If anyone was greedy for their own money, my wife would be a big mouth.

It took several maids and servants to suppress this unhealthy trend.
