It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 54

"A thousand in total, pulled by a horse-drawn cart."

A copper coin weighs about 4 grams, and it is always about 1,000 wen, about 4kg, and 1,000 coin is 4 tons. It must be pulled by a carriage, and a carriage may not be enough.

This is also the reason why it is more convenient to use silk cloth as currency than copper coins today. In this era, there is no silver bill.

"Is it enough? Will it be a little less?" Cheng Dalei asked.

"Enough is enough. For a big family, slaves are cheaper than we think. Adult slaves are only a regular amount of money, and a few hanging money is enough for the elderly, weak, women and children. The reason why I brought so much money here is that Liu Zhi's redemption money is more expensive, and second It’s money to manage all aspects and make the transaction go smoothly.”

Today's prices are about 20 bucks for a horse, 15 bucks for a cow, and 78 bucks for a donkey.

Four or five ounces can buy a beautiful little maid, and the price of adult strong labor is only consistent.

So in this era, people are not as expensive as donkeys.

"Hurry up and do business. I will redeem the Liu family this afternoon. We will go back tonight. How's the road going?"

At present, there are only Huang Sanyuan and Xu Linger in the cottage. If someone wants to fight the idea of ​​the Toad Village, the Toad Village is simply an empty city.

So things must be done as soon as possible, it is best to return to Toad Village tonight.

"The city gate will be closed at night, and it will not be opened until the next morning, but I have already ordered the city guards. They will open a stick of incense for us, long enough for us to transport people out."

"Then hurry up. The military advisor, Brother Qin and I will go to redeem the people. Shaoyu, you and Meng Ziyun will go to redeem Liu Zhi's body. We will reunite in the city."

After deciding on the task, everyone split up. What surprised Meng Ziyun was that Cheng Dalei was just a sack of wine no matter what, why did everyone else obey him.

When he was about to start the mission, the sun was already in the west, and Cheng Dalei's plan was to return to Toad Village tonight. Time is tight and the task is heavy, but in the case of money to open the way, this is not a problem.

He redeemed the Liu family's people at a price that was much higher than the market price. Things went well, and they were taken out of the city at the beginning of the night.

Cheng Dalei saw that these people included children, old people, and women who were already old and degenerate. There were about 80 to 90 people.

When they heard that it was Toad Village's cottage that rescued them, the crowd caused quite a stir.

"Master has been against the cottage all his life, how can we be thieves!"

"Shame on the ancestors, humiliate the ancestors!"

"I'd rather die than be a bandit! I'd rather die, I'd rather die!"

This scene was beyond Cheng Dalei's expectations, and he was also a little impatient. There were some deviations from the plan, and until now, Meng Ziyun and Lin Shaoyu have not returned.

There should be no surprise!

He didn't care about Meng Ziyun's life, nor did he care about Liu Zhi, but Lin Shaoyu was from a cottage, so he had to care.

The hustle and bustle sounded around, and Cheng Dalei was very annoyed.

"Stop!" Cheng Dalei shouted and threw the knife in his waist on the ground: "If you don't want to be a bandit, you can die, and there are many ways to die. If you don't want to use a knife, you can hit a stone to death or find a big tree. Hanging, this is not when you show your loyalty to the monarch and serve the country and are superior to others. If you want to die, do it yourself."

No one spoke.

No one spoke, whether it was the old masters who clamored that the scholar could be killed and not humiliated, or the young man who boasted of his passion.

In this way, the only thing that can be exchanged is Cheng Dalei's contempt.

He turned his eyes to the direction of the city gate, and felt a little anxious in his heart. Compared with the estimated time, Lin Shaoyu was too late.

At this time, a fast horse came running toward the city gate, and the man on the horse was Mencius Yun.

"What's the situation, what about Lin Shaoyu and Liu Zhi?" Cheng Dalei asked immediately.

"Miss... Today there is a banquet in the Huang family in the city. The lady was invited over. When we went, the lady had already been taken away. Lin Shaoyu asked me to come back and report the news. He wanted to see it himself."

Liu Zhi was listed in Huiyanlou, and she wanted to see her with a lot of rules, but when she really met a powerful person, all the rules had to be broken. The Huang family wanted her to go, and she had to go too.

This Huang family seems to be Huang Yuanwai, who wants to marry Su Ying.

"Then you came back by yourself?" Cheng Dalei looked at Meng Ziyun and spit out two words: "Idiot!"

Hearing this, Meng Ziyun blushed and said angrily: "Boy, I have endured you for a long time, what kind of person do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to teach me, and then dare to be disrespectful to me, I recognize it You, my knife doesn't recognize you."

This kid is a little too naive, he should be taught what rules are.

"Qin Man, do it."

"Yes!"

Qin Man slapped the horse forward, Meng Ziyun had long been brooding about what happened in the daytime, and wanted to find a chance to give these bandits some color, but the knife was already lit up at this moment.

But Qin Man didn't even move his spear. The moment the two horses crossed each other, he grabbed Meng Ziyun's collar and threw it out.

Qin Man's arms had at least 500 jins of strength. With this force, he held Meng Ziyun in the air with his head and limbs hanging in the air. He turned his body in the air, and threw it seven or eight meters away, hitting the ground abruptly.

It was quiet, and someone panicked and helped Meng Ziyun up. Although Meng Ziyun was not injured, he was ashamed. He was always proud, but this was the first time in his life.

He stood on the ground and stared at Cheng Dalei like fire. Such an insult made him want to die with Cheng Dalei.

"Are all the people in the Liu family so unruly?" Cheng Dalei rode on his horse and asked, "Next time, kill Wushe."

Cheng Dalei showed his killing intent for the first time. He first attacked a thousand with no one, and then blocked a hundred of Lu Heng's elite soldiers. The head of a thief in the Xiaoao Mountains and Forests.

"Master, Shaoyu is still in the city now, what should we do?"

"If you enter the city, it will be difficult to get out again." Xu Shenji said.

At this time, an old man from the Liu family suddenly said: "I know a road leading to the outside of the city, where there is a gap in the city wall, and there are no guards to guard it."

Cheng Dalei asked about the location of the path, still thinking in his heart. This group of people stayed outside the city for a long time, and they changed after a while, and they must be sent away as soon as possible. And Lin Shaoyu was still delayed in the city, but he had to take care of it.

He already had an idea in his heart, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Xu Shenji seemed to have guessed what Cheng Dalei was thinking, and said to him, "Master, when I came from the cottage, I brought your axe too, right on the carriage."

With that said, Xu Shenji brought the big axe to Cheng Dalei, and Cheng Dalei carried his Xuanhua axe, feeling a little more confident in his heart.

"Qin Man, Meng Ziyun, follow me into the city and grab people."
