Chapter 31 Besieged by Betrayed Thieves
The roads in this era are all official roads, and the government ordered the levy of corvee labor. Under the leadership of officials of the Ministry of Works, the people who were performing labor must first consolidate the roadbed, then lay gravel or loess, and then continue to compact the road surface. After many compaction and long-term trampling, a flat and hard road surface is formed. It can be said that the best official road is not much worse than the current Youbo Road, but it is very slippery when it rains and cannot walk.
Today is a good weather. The three of them sat on the carriage back home. Shiqing and Zhang Wei sat on one side, and Wenqing sat opposite Shiqing. It was estimated that they would take about two hours to sit along the way. Although the official road was flat, even if the carriage was covered with a lot of cushions or even bedding, with the carriage technology of this era, they would probably be distracted by the carriage when they arrived at the place. The hard work of the carriage refers to the tiring of riding and riding a carriage.
The two sisters were chatting about trivial matters, and Zhang Wei also occasionally interjected a sentence, but Shi Qing ignored him, but Wen Qing kept trying to smooth things over. The few of them were talking and laughing along the way, but gradually they were tired. The carriage gradually became quiet. The two girls leaned on each other and were about to fall asleep, so Zhang Wei also began to close his eyes and rest.
After a while, Zhang Weibing felt something was wrong. Since the beginning, the carriage became particularly bumpy. He lifted the curtain and looked at it. He found that the carriage was actually driving in the woods, and there was no way to come from behind. He was a little surprised and gently pushed the two girls who were about to fall asleep. Seeing that the two girls opened their eyes and looked at him, he winked at the two girls and whispered: "Do you need to pass through the woods without roads in this place we are going?"
Shiqing and Wenqing looked at each other for a moment, shook their heads and said, "Every time I go back, I only walk on the official road."
Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically and he whispered: "We are in the woods now, and there is no shadow of the official road behind us. This groom must have a problem. I will open the car door later and we jumped off one by one. Now the carriage cannot go quickly. Remember to protect your head when you jump, remove some force when you jump, and don't hurt yourself, and don't shout."
After saying that, he opened the car door and made the two of them jump first. The two were a little confused. However, Shi Qing trusted Zhang Wei and jumped down first. Then Wen Qing also jumped down. Finally, Zhang Wei jumped down and turned around to find the two girls. The three of them were only three or five steps apart, and soon they got together. Zhang Wei led the two girls to the side so that the coachman would not find them back the same way.
As soon as he started a few steps, Wen Qing whispered in pain. It turned out that she sprained her ankle when she jumped off the car just now. She lowered her voice and said softly: "Brother-in-law, you take your sister first, I'll find a place to hide and wait for you to come back to pick me up."
"No!" The couple growled in unison, joking, in the wilderness, a weak and beautiful little girl would not have any good results when she met a human or a beast.
At this time, there was no need to avoid suspicion. Zhang Wei went over to carry Wen Qing on his back. Fortunately, Wen Qingyin was light and light, but she would definitely not run fast with the person on her back. As soon as the three of them walked a hundred meters, they heard someone shouting behind her: "Come on here, hurry up and don't let them run!"
Wen Qing struggled hard on Zhang Wei's back, but her voice softly said, "Let me go down quickly, no one can escape."
Zhang didn't understand this truth, but he had no choice at this moment. If Wen Qing really left behind, Shi Qing's family would never forgive him for his whole life. He could not overcome this hurdle in his heart and said, "Shut up, there is the official road ahead, don't move around!" There will be caravans on the official road. If it is an ordinary bandit, he will definitely be afraid of the mouse, so as long as he meets others, he may be out of danger.
Zhang Wei and Shiqing ran, and were about to run to the official road. A black-faced thief with a steel knife appeared in front of him. It was the Black Killing Star. This person is so murderous and has a ruthless heart. Seeing this, Zhang Wei and Shiqing immediately turned right, but found that they had been surrounded by three thieves and their own coachman. Shiqing pointed at the coachman and scolded: "Yang Zhijie, you are so heartless!"
The coachman Yang Zhijie was originally honest, but now he smiled evilly: "Miss, I was also bribed. I owe too much gambling debts and I will be forced to death. I can only blame you for offending people! I am still your distant brother! You just treat it as helping me pay off my debts."
Zhang Wei protected the two women and said, "Dear heroes! No matter who you sent you, I believe everyone licks blood from the knife, it's all for money. You guys offer a price! I'll buy the lives of the three of us!"
Hei Shaxing, who blocked their way, said: "Don't make unnecessary struggles, you should go with us! Otherwise, you will start killing here!"
When Zhang Wei saw him answer, he quickly said, "This hero should be the eldest brother. Brother, please tell me a number. As long as you can afford it, I guarantee it with my personality. Swear to God that you will definitely get the money. You can specify the location. We will never report to the official!"
The black killing star was a little disdainful and said, "I said 10,000 taels, you can..."
"No problem, 10,000 taels will buy the lives of the three of us!" Zhang Wei interrupted before he could finish his words and immediately offered a bid code. Saving his life is the most important thing at this time.
Several people looked at each other, and the Black Killing Star was about to nod, but Yang Zhijie said anxiously: "Don't fall into his procrastination plan. He is a son-in-law, and he has a 10,000 taels!" Yang Zhijie was afraid that the three of them would not get the money if they left, so he quickly stopped him.
Shi Qing quickly interrupted and said, "He is my husband. What he said means that my Yang family will definitely be delivered! Yang Zhijie, why do you want to force us into a dead end? How much money do you have to get if you kill us? Is there a 10,000 taels?"
The coachman Yang Zhijie shouted: "Don't believe them, they are all lies!"
"Shut up!" said the black-faced thief and Zhang Wei.
Yang Zhijie looked at Hei Shaxing's steel knife in his hand and didn't dare to say more. These three thieves were obviously not easy to mess with.
The Hei Shaxing hesitated and said, "You come with me first. If you take out ten thousand taels from your house, I will guarantee you nothing." Hei Shaxing was a little moved. They didn't make ten thousand taels even if they fought to the death. If Zhang Wei and the others could really give ten thousand taels, then the deal would make a lot of money.
"Nine thousand taels! Let us go now!" Zhang Wei thought to himself, but at this time he had to use some small strategies and he had to walk with his mind.
Hei Shaxing was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it ten thousand taels?"
Zhang Wei said seriously: "The sooner you give us, the more we give us, if you hesitate, you will only have eight thousand taels. I believe that no matter who sent you or killed us, you will never get more than we give us!" This is a sales force technique, which requires creating some sense of urgency for the other party.
Hei Shaxing really said, gritting his teeth and said, "I said 10,000 taels are only 10,000 taels!"
Zhang Wei shouted: "Eight thousand taels!"
Hei Shaxing held the steel knife tightly and acted to chop.
Zhang Wei immediately became timid and said, "Okay! The deal will be ten thousand taels. Give me an address and I will send someone to deliver it after I go back!"
In the short negotiation, Zhang Wei used many skills. He first accurately found the other party's decision-maker, and then used the price that the other party originally thought was impossible to make the other party moved, and then created a sense of urgency for the other party, which finally made the thief fall into his own rhythm and finally made the final decision.
At this time, the Black Killing Star had been brought into the rhythm and nodded, "Then you send it to..."
-------------------------------------
I suddenly felt that the road was wrong when I returned home.
He jumped out of the car and escaped and was surrounded again;
Zhang Wei said that he led the rhythm,
The final word is done.
