Chapter 30: It’s rude not to reciprocate. I’ll set a trap for you!

Song Qiangda vomited so much that he almost vomited out his stomach. Master Wang sitting opposite him looked embarrassed.

We are all martial artists, why did you vomit?

can not drink much?

Can’t eat spicy food?

Or is it that the situation is changing too fast and you can't bear it psychologically?

Why would Aikido arrange for such a waste...

Just as Master Wang was rolling his eyes, the door of the box was violently pushed open by someone outside.

"Song... Shopkeeper Song!"

The man who came in was startled and quickly patted Song Qiang on the back. Song Qiang spit out the filth in his mouth and gritted his teeth and said , " How many escaped?"

The man said anxiously , " Less than ten people escaped, the rest were all knocked out and captured!"

Song Qiang took a few deep breaths and said , " It's bad, we have to rescue our brothers quickly, otherwise something terrible will happen!"

He glanced at Master Wang and said , " Master Wang, Hua is a cunning guy. You should leave first!"

Master Wang bowed and said goodbye.

He was sent by Princess Shangguan, so he couldn't take too many actions, let alone reveal his identity.

The man from Heqimen asked , " Captain Zhao will be here soon, maybe he can stop our brothers from Hua Qian's hands?"

Song Qiang nodded , " He must be scared to death after spending money, it's impossible for him to guard so many people. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first and prepare to get the people!"

The chaos dissipated, Hua Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly directed everyone to pick up the scattered silver ingots on the ground and load them into the carriage.

A total of seven carriages were blown away. Apart from the silver ingots that were picked up, the loss was considerable.

The Hua family can definitely afford to compensate for this loss.

But no matter whether it was Hua Hua or Hua Duxiu, no one intended to use money from their own treasury to pay the compensation.

This is just the first round. Hua took it. There will be a second and a third round to come.

The outcome is still unknown.

Soon, the real officials arrived.

Qian Hua thought to himself: These bastards, they come only now!

I'm afraid that someone has given us instructions in advance and deliberately put us in danger?

Humph, don’t be impatient, there will be a moment of reckoning!

The head of the police was sweating profusely and asked in shock , " Hua, Manager Hua, what's going on?"

Hua Qian bowed and said , " It's Captain Zhao."

Hua Qian pointed at the bandits tied up on the ground and said , " Captain Zhao, what I am escorting is the governor's military funds. These people have bad intentions and have been captured by us."

"There are 113 people in total. They are now handed over to Captain Zhao for custody. Captain Zhao, you must keep an eye on these people. When I escort the goods to the Governor's Mansion, I will report the truth. These people are so bold. If the Governor asks you for them and you can't hand them over, you can't afford the consequences!"

Captain Zhao was shocked and said in a trembling voice , " Of course...there won't be any problems. Shopkeeper Hua, don't worry!"

Captain Zhao gritted his teeth and shouted , " Take all these criminals to jail! Keep them under strict supervision!"

Many constables immediately took over and tied up the hundreds of bandits on the ground.

Hua Qian bowed again , " I can't stay any longer, bye!"

Captain Zhao said , " Okay, take care!"

A large group of officials took control of the situation and did not dare to delay, and quickly escorted the carriage to the Governor's Palace.

He could no longer withstand the second round of attacks, and the most urgent task was to quickly escort the taxes to the Governor's Palace!

If he handed in the dart quickly, he could rest, but others had more important things to do.

That’s right, the escort team from Yanyu County set out almost at the same time as those from Shushen County. Shushen County is more than a hundred miles closer to Pomo City than Yanyu County.

In other words, the Hua family has entered the city, and the Song family's escort team is less than a hundred miles away from the Demon-Breaking City!

We can’t afford to waste time.

The top floor of the observation tower.

Peng Tianlin said , " Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. This time, Hua family won beautifully."

Wu Haotian said , " Yes, it was extremely thrilling. Sir, we should go back to the Governor's Mansion."

Peng Tianlin said , " Okay, it's time to meet with Shopkeeper Hua Qianhua."

…

Hua Qian led the escort team and marched quickly through the city. They finally arrived at the Governor's Mansion half an hour later.

Spend the money with a sigh of relief.

The iron gate of the Governor's Mansion was wide open, and the motorcade drove in majestically. Hua Hua handled the handover with the commander and the advisor who came to take over the goods. However, Hua Duxiu, Biaotou Liu, Biaotou Ren, Biaotou Hu and others quietly changed out of their escort clothes and led the elite escorts to quickly leave from the back door of the Governor's Mansion.

After the handover, the governor's advisor frowned and said , " Manager Hua, the loss on this escort mission is not small."

Hua Qian bowed and said , " The Hua family will compensate for all the losses."

The master nodded and said , " The Governor has been waiting inside for a long time. Please ask Shopkeeper Hua and Master Hua Duxiu to move in and have a chat."

Hua Qian said , " I'm very sorry, my son was slightly injured and has already gone to the inn to recover. I will follow you to meet the Governor."

The master said , " Okay."

After passing through layers of buildings, we were led to a small building with elegant style in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Entering the hall, Governor Peng Tianlin was chatting with the Lord of Moliu Mansion.

Huaqian immediately knelt on one knee and said , " I, Huaqian, pay my respects to the Governor!"

Peng Tianlin looked him up and down and said with a smile , " Manager Hua is handsome and gentle, nice to meet you."

"Please take a seat."

Hua Qian stood up, glanced at Peng Tianlin, and then clasped his fists towards Wu Haotian and said , " Palace Master, long time no see."

Wu Haotian smiled and said , " Brother Hua, how are you?"

After paying and sitting down, the maid served tea and left.

Peng Tianlin stroked his gray beard and asked with a smile , " Manager Hua, did you suffer a big loss during this escort mission?"

Hua Qian stood up quickly and said , " Your Excellency the Governor, the escort team had a problem in the city and was attacked and robbed by criminals. The loss was about 30,000 taels of silver. Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor, the Hua family will make up the full amount, not a penny less!"

Peng Tianlin nodded , " Although this is the first time we meet, I have heard of your name."

Peng Tianlin glanced at Wu Haotian and said with a smile , " Palace Master Wu praised Shopkeeper Hua a lot, saying that Shopkeeper Hua is very good at dancing and especially has strong martial arts skills, and that he is a rare talent."

Qian Hua clasped his fists and said , " I am a humble man, but I am very grateful for your kindness, Governor."

Peng Tianlin waved his hand, asked Qian Hua to sit down, and his expression became serious.

"Manager Hua, your son and those fake officials are in a hurry to leave the city. I'm afraid they have something important to do, right?"

A cold sweat immediately oozed out of Hua Qian's forehead. He quickly stood up and knelt on one knee again:

"I dare to ask the Governor to punish me!"

I'm a bit nervous about spending money.

It turns out that the Governor knows everything.

I can't hide it from him!

No wonder Xiu'er had instructed before that he should speak frankly and reveal the whole plan to the Governor and try to get his consent.

Qian Hua thought this was a very risky matter, but he didn't expect the Governor to point it out first.

Peng Tianlin said , " There is an old saying: It is impolite not to reciprocate. You want to retaliate against your opponent, and I don't want to interfere or ask about it. However, this matter involves hundreds of thousands of taels of military expenditure for me. How are you going to explain it to me?"

Qian Hua thought to himself: You old fox, you even guessed this.

Qian Hua hurriedly said , " Your Excellency the Governor, I have something important to report!"

Peng Tianlin asked Qian Hua to stand up and sit back in his chair.

Qian Hua secretly glanced at Wu Haotian, and Wu Haotian nodded imperceptibly.

Spend money with peace of mind.

The Hua family has been on good terms with the Moliu Mansion for generations. Hua Duxiu specifically told his father to ask Mansion Master Wu to go to the Governor's Mansion to pay a visit to the Governor today, and it would be best if Hua Hua could be with him.

It now seems that Lord Wu and the Governor have become quite familiar with each other.

That’s even better!

Hua Qian said solemnly , " Governor, the Shenwei Escort Agency and the Tiannan County Heqi Sect behind it hired bandits to rob Shushen County of taxes! Now the criminals have all been captured, please make the decision, Governor!"

After spending money, I felt a little nervous.

According to Hua Duxiu's arrangement, he should have talked endlessly about how Princess Shangguan Jie colluded with the Heqi Sect to disrupt the governor's control over the army by destroying the taxes escorted by the Hua family, and even colluded with several other princesses and military commanders to take the opportunity to reveal the conspiracy to create chaos in Kunmo Valley.

But I didn’t dare to tell you how much money I spent.

First, these are all Hua Duxiu’s deductions and analyses, without sufficient evidence.

Second, these inferences involve high-level political struggles and should not be pointed out by an ordinary citizen like him.

So I hesitated a lot before spending the money and didn’t dare to say so much.

Peng Tianlin waited for a while, and when he saw that Hua Qian didn't continue talking, he asked , " Is that all? Anything else?"

Spend money and be stunned.

Still let me say it?

Besides, isn’t this an overstepping of authority?

After all, spending money is not as lawless as Hua Duxiu, who lets his imagination run wild and says whatever he wants.

After a moment of hesitation, Peng Tianlin asked , " The Heqi Sect attacked your escort team, so you used their own method to retaliate against them and also attacked their escort team? Then you are no different from them? I can do justice for you, so should I also do justice for them?"

Qian Hua was shocked: It's all over, I haven't made a decision yet and I'm suffering from the consequences. The Governor is forcing me to express my opinion!

Xiu'er, your guess is so accurate.

Qian Qian mustered up his courage and looked up at Peng Tianlin.

Peng Tianlin was stroking his beard with one hand and looking at the money.

do my best!

Just listen to Xiu'er's arrangement, I'm going to overstep my bounds once.

Qian Qian clasped his fists and said excitedly , " Mr. Governor, Hua has something important to report!"

…

Outside the Demon Breaking City, two groups of people were marching quickly.

The group in front, nearly 400 people, dressed in different costumes, ran quickly under the leadership of Shen Feng and Shen Lijia.

The group behind was less than a hundred, but they were all dressed in black and very well-trained. They were galloping on horseback under the leadership of Hua Duxiu and several bodyguard leaders.

Although the brothers from "Heifeng Village" left the city first, everyone from Hua's Escort Bureau rode on horseback and quickly caught up with them, becoming one with everyone from Heifeng Village.

It was rare for Hua Duxiu to ride a horse, and her buttocks felt itchy and numb, making her very uncomfortable.

Shen Lijia smiled evilly on the side.

Hua Duxiu frowned and asked , " You are so ridiculous, are you ready?"

Shen Lijia said sternly , " Brother-in-law, don't worry! We're still ten miles away, and this time there will be absolutely nothing wrong!"

Hua Duxiu nodded , " Get on the horse."

"Okay, later you see how I scold them to death."

One of the escorts dismounted and was replaced by Shen Lijia.

Hua Duxiu raised her hand, and everyone took out the black scarf they had prepared in advance and covered their faces.

Hua Duxiu said to Shen Feng , " Uncle Feng, let's go first. We've got work done."

Shen Feng smiled and said , " Don't worry, we are all old professionals, brothers will definitely do well."

Hua Duxiu led all the bodyguards in black to surpass the people in Heifeng Village and quickly headed south along the official road.

Hua Duxiu secretly thought: I hope everything goes well with dad, he is the key.

With more than 40 years of experience, the old man will not be defeated in front of the governor, can he handle him?

If you can't figure it out, you have to take action yourself, hey!

You rely on me for everything, and you promised to be a quiet and handsome man?

Sad!
