Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 12 018. The Assassin in the Night

Wang Hao and his party rode a horse-drawn carriage from Jiyang to the west along the territory of Liaoxi. After arriving in Hanoi, the space finally unlocked the fruit varieties, which also improved the economy of several people to a certain extent, and the ranch was upgraded to a level and four legs appeared. Animals no longer have to worry about meat problems.

Zhao Feng drove the carriage forward in the dust. Wang Hao rode a Dawan horse and drove a group of sheep closely behind. The sheep were followed by a group of tall horses. The horse dealer Zhang Ren met Wang Hao in Bingzhou and was heading west. It happened that he was also going west. He went down to Luoyang to sell horses, so he went west together with Wang Hao.

Traveling north and south in this world is not peaceful. Zhang Ren and his five gangsters can't make much money on one trip. If bandits are rampant or local tycoons encounter, it is a trivial matter to lose money and eliminate disasters. If the thieves are not happy, he and the others may die at any time. .

Along the way, he met several gangsters, but Wang Hao asked King Kong to deal with them. Zhang Ren saw that Wang Hao's horses were all old horses, so he gave Wang Hao a few Dawan horses by half selling and half giving them away. Wang Hao also gave Wang Hao some horses along the way. He bought them a lot of fruits, many of which were varieties they had never seen before. Zhang Ren had seen Wang Hao and others selling them to others, and they all sold them for a penny each.

"Brother Wang, where did you get this fruit?"

Zhang Ren rode side by side with Wang Hao. He was very interested in dragon fruit. If he was allowed to sell it in a big city like Luoyang, it would cost him fifteen cents a piece. Fruit business is better than horse dealer.

"This place of origin is outside the Western Region. Why does Brother Zhang dare to be interested in this gadget?"

Wang Hao is a little unclear, so everyone knows that horses were in short supply in the Han Dynasty. The cheapest horses cost ten taels of silver a horse, and the Dawan war horses like Zhang Ren cost at least 30 taels of silver a horse. Zhang Ren resold more than 50 war horses from Wuyang Wuheng and other places, and he could earn more than 2000 taels of silver in one trip. Wang Hao was a little jealous of this business. Wang Hao didn't understand how Zhang Ren would fall in love with the fruit business. ?

"It turned out to be something from outside the territory, but why did Brother Wang sell it so cheaply?"

Zhang Ren really doesn’t understand that this fruit tastes good, and there is no such thing in the Central Plains area. Logically speaking, it is a scarce product and expensive, but Wang Hao sells it at such a low price. Wang Hao and others who watched him along the way did not look like they were poor. He looked like a member of a noble family. Zhang Ren really couldn't figure out why Wang Hao was engaged in horse breeding and selling.

"To be honest, Brother Zhang and my younger brother are in urgent need of money. Originally, I wanted to join the Gongsun family when I went north this time, but the other party couldn't see clearly that I am from a poor family. My younger brother planned to go to Jingzhou to see if he could acquire a piece of land to farm and raise horses. , all the entanglements on the body were thrown on these sheep cubs, that's why..."

Zhang Ren heard that Wang Hao was going to Jingzhou and said that he would visit Wang Hao someday because his ancestral home was also from Jingzhou. After selling the horses, Zhang Ren would also return to his hometown in Jingzhou. Wang Hao had not yet decided where to stay after arriving in Jingzhou. , finally listened to Zhang Ren's words and decided to settle in Jiangxia.

"Stop..."

Just when Wang Hao and the others entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate stopped Wang Hao and his party. Zhang Ren approached the leading soldier and muttered a few words. In fact, he secretly gave the soldier a gold ingot. The flock of sheep entered the city without knowing this rule, and Zhang Ren naturally knew what the soldiers thought when he had been doing business all year round.

"Thank you, Big Brother Zhang, for your rescue. I still have some fruits in my car to sell, so let's leave now..."

Wang Hao and Zhang Ren walked around the West Market and sold more than 30 lambs quickly. After finally entering the city, Wang Hao naturally couldn't leave overnight. It was inevitable to find an inn and stay for a while. Camping every day No matter how many programs there are, he will get bored. Zhao Yu has not bought personal items for a long time.

"What are you?"

A boy from a rich family with a folding fan walked past Wang Hao's booth. It was the first time that dragon fruit appeared in the Han Dynasty, which was a novelty.

"Two pennies a child is not deceitful, I wonder how much the young master wants?"

Since it is natural to do business like a business, Wang Hao smiled cheekily. The other party picked up a dragon fruit and looked at it. He waved his folding fan and shouted to the boy behind him. The boy threw a gold ingot to Wang Hao and directly threw Wang Hao. The red dragon fruit from Hao's stall was taken away along with the animal skin.

After passing Wang Hao's stall, the young master entered a tea shed and saw a country girl selling old hens. He waved his hand and bought all the hens. The boy not only took away the chicken coop but also took the people away. Not only did the girl not get it, The money was also taken away by the boy. There were so many people in the market and no one stopped him. Wang Hao just stood up and was grabbed by the old man next to him.

"Aren't you going to die? That's the second son of the city lord Yang, and no one in the city dares to offend him..."

Wang Hao watched helplessly as the girl was taken away, and finally he could only stand there and watch stupidly.

After returning to the inn, Wang Hao has been depressed. The world has disappointed him, but he can't do anything for the world.

"What's the matter with you, my husband?"

Ever since Wang Hao came back at noon, he has been depressed. Zhao Yu couldn't help asking when he was sleeping at night. Wang Hao's mood is a little low today.

"Xiaoyu, do you think your husband is useless, let you and elder brother..."

Sometimes Wang Hao really has the idea of ​​recruiting troops and buying horses to revolt. After coming to this world for half a year, Wang Hao has had enough. He feels very uncomfortable when he sees many things. In his dreams, Wang Hao would dream of corpses lying all over the field and be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. On such days, he was really about to collapse.

"Catch the assassin..."

Just when Wang Hao turned over and wanted to sleep, there was a burst of shouting outside the window. Zhao Yu was a little scared when he heard the shouts from the street outside. Wang Hao comforted him and got up and walked towards the window. He opened the window and looked down the street. , a group of servants ran all over the street holding torches. Obviously, an important figure of a certain family was assassinated.

Wang Hao really wanted to close the window but was caught by a hand. The cold sword was placed on Wang Hao's neck. Wang Hao felt the cold metal on his neck and stood there without daring to move. The other party appeared from the window sill. Climb into the room.

"I just want to avoid officials and don't want to hurt anyone, so you'd better keep quiet..."

The other party was wearing a black night clothes to cover his face, but it could be seen from his figure that the other party was a man. King Kong was not wrong in Wang Hao's space, but Wang Hao was not sure to hold the man in black before King Kong appeared. The edge was too close, and the long sword in the opponent's hand was still bloody, Wang Hao didn't dare to take the risk of letting King Kong come out.

"Please don't worry, my wife and I are just passing by here and we won't tell you..."

Wang Hao pushed back step by step and said that the other party glanced at the shoes in front of the window and knew that Wang Hao had a female relative, so he put away the long sword and bowed his hands to apologize to Wang Hao. Was taken aback.
