The weak scholar in the end of ancient times

Chapter 46: Killing Two Birds with One Fish

The guards at the city gate only discovered that there were some people trailing behind the team when these people from Luhua Lane passed by.

It looks pretty miserable.

Some were tied with hemp ropes, and some even had shackles!

Yes, the kind that happens in prison!

Thinking back to the internal strife in Luhua Lane the day before, where traitors were said to be executed, were these the traitors who failed in the fight?
Some were dragged across the ground, their breathing still unknown. To prevent blood stains from attracting evil spirits, they were tied with a layer of dry grass and... firewood?
hiss--

Are they going to be dragged out to the cemetery and burned?!
The guards felt a chill.

The burly men in the team who were pulling the ropes had fierce eyes and looked murderous, which was very scary. With their expressions, even if they didn't burn the traitor, there would be no good result if they dragged him out.

The guards who were close by didn't dare to breathe. They didn't even have time to avoid the attack, let alone try to stop the enemy and gain any benefits.

outside the city.

He Da and his companions, who had been paying attention to the movements at the city gate, stared at the grand battle over there for a long time.

He finally understood why Wen Gu said that if Lin Erdang and his men could stabilize the internal situation, there would not be only these few people coming out to pay their respects.

There are indeed a lot of people, no wonder they can protect so many good things!
The team from Luhuaxiang left the city and went all the way to the cemetery in Huangtian.

Lin Erdangjia didn't even look at how many people were following the team or how many were watching.

The traitor was dragged out in front of the graves of Boss Yan and his relatives and friends who were buried in the ground, in front of two or three hundred people from Luhua Lane.

During the fight yesterday, some of the traitors were executed on the spot, while some were kept here.

"According to the rules, traitors should be sacrificed with blood! But the world has changed now, and it is not appropriate to see blood."

Lin Erdang looked at these people indifferently, raised his hand and asked everyone to prepare a pile of firewood and put the traitors on it one by one.

Led by Lin Erdang and Mrs. Liang, several important figures, each holding a burning stick, lit the pile of firewood.

With dry grass as a lure, the flames devoured the person in the blink of an eye.

The miserable cries spread across the wilderness and were heard far and wide.

It frightened some people.

It also frightened some people and made their blood boil.

Execute the traitors and sacrifice them by fire.

Lin Erdang and Madam Liang brought two or three hundred people from Luhua Lane to pay tribute to their deceased relatives and friends.

He Da and Yu Er pretended to be county residents watching from afar. Although they couldn't see clearly from the distance, they could feel the terrifying cohesion!
Even he, an outsider, felt the urge to join in!

Is the situation in Bailu County about to change?
At the cemetery, after the fire sacrifice, the team did not disperse immediately. Some went to sweep the graves of their relatives and friends, and some went to help.

Under the protection of some people, Lin Erdangjia brought a few brothers to the place agreed with Wen Gu, blowing three long and one short whistle signals.

After a while, Wen Gu also came over with his men.

The second-in-command Lin came here now, firstly to discuss the matter of Wen Gu's entrustment.

They agreed, but needed some more time to prepare as they wanted to formally establish an escort agency.

Another thing is to ask the immortal to perform a ritual to appease the resentment of the deceased relatives and friends, and to make the traitor never be reborn!
County Magistrate Zhou, who was following next to him, felt particularly involved and could empathize with the situation!
What sworn brothers? The ones who are most likely to stab you in the back at the critical moment are these sworn brothers!

Survival threats, interest inducements, what will become of relatives and friends depends solely on luck.

He strongly agreed with what Lin Erdang did.

For those who betray you, not only their bodies must be killed, but their souls must also be destroyed!

Wen Gu agreed to ask Master Qingyi to help again. The fee would be deducted from the salary of the escort agency.

Seeing that Second Master Lin hesitated to speak, Wen Gu patiently asked, "Second Master, do you have any other questions?"

Lin Erdang said, "After crossing the bridge, how far do you want the escort agency to protect us? To be honest, we also want to go north..."

Lin Erdang was trying to figure out how to put it properly when Wen Gu asked, "Are you planning to go north and find a suitable place to open a branch?"

Lin Erdang, who was at a loss for words, said: "...Yes!"

Wen Gu's face showed concern. "Second Commander, will you also accept orders from Bailu County? Do you have enough escorts? The journey north is difficult, and safety is of utmost importance! Don't be careless!"

The emphasis was clearly on safety, but when put together, to the ears of Lin Erdang and the others, the focus was on the first half.

Huh?
Huh? ? ?
Can you actually take on other jobs at the same time?
One fish, many meals!
Lin Erdangjia immediately had an idea: since it was on the way, he could take more orders, get more pay, and maybe even win more connections in the city.

Thinking about the young and strong men who have joined in the past two days, after making such a scene today, there will definitely be more people joining their escort agency! There are enough escorts!
It’s not impossible to take on more orders.

Lin Er was secretly delighted, but he maintained a serious expression and replied earnestly, "Of course we will consider everything carefully!"

Wen Gu still showed hesitation.

Lin Er, the second in command, was worried that the scholar would be dissatisfied and cancel the commission. As he waited, he felt a little anxious.

The reason they decided to go north was all thanks to this scholar who had relatives serving as officials in the north!
If this person really tells them not to accept other orders, they... will have no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, the scholar opposite hesitated for a moment, and said with that exceptionally elegant face:

"Logically, you shouldn't be doing this. But the world has changed, and people's lives are difficult. We should be considerate of each other and give more people the opportunity to make it north to survive."

Wen Gu smiled kindly, "If we have enough escorts, you can take on other orders at the same time. However, I hope that you, the Second-in-Command, can explain the interests involved to other employers when you present your proposal. The journey north is bumpy and anything could happen."

Lin Erdang and his companions accurately grasped the first half: preaching?
There is actually this step?
Although it was the first time I heard it, I could roughly understand the meaning of the word.

I'll arrange it when I get back!!
Wen Gu said, "Besides, since the escort agency isn't just protecting us, then this reward isn't the full amount."

Lin Erdang said generously: "No problem!" What they cut here, they will get back more from other employers!
Moreover, the most important reason why they protected Wen Gu and his group was not for that little thing.

After a conversation that satisfied both parties, they left one after another.

I am very satisfied with the review.

It’s so delicious to eat multiple dishes with one fish.

There is also the remuneration for hiring an escort agency, which has been cut again and again and can be ignored.

the other side.

The big commotion caused by the people in Luhua Lane suddenly made the originally lifeless Bailu County like a boiling pot, and people were talking about it in every corner.

Zhang Xianwei, the most powerful man in the city, was sleeping soundly with his thirteenth concubine when suddenly his subordinates started shouting in panic, disturbing his mood.

County Magistrate Zhang was very dissatisfied, but when he heard what his subordinates said, all his selfish desires were scared away.

He just felt his scalp tingling and his whole body was cold.

My mind instantly recalled the civil unrest that had been suppressed in the past.

"What are they trying to do?! What on earth are they trying to do?!"

County Magistrate Zhang immediately summoned his confidants to discuss the matter.

By summarizing the information gathered from all sides, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of what the people in Luhua Lane have been doing in the past two days.

When the internal traitors were executed in Luhua Lane, some outsiders who were involved were also involved, and some relevant personnel took this opportunity to file a complaint.

But County Magistrate Zhang is too impatient to deal with these trivial matters. What he is worried about is that Luhua Lane will take advantage of the situation and shake his power!
If he had received the news in advance, he could have suppressed it in advance.

But Luhuaxiang gained momentum so quickly that no one expected they could cause such a big commotion!
"They didn't report this to you, County Captain Zhang, before this?" someone asked.

County Magistrate Zhang remained silent.

Lin Lao Er from Luhua Alley had indeed mentioned that he needed to deal with some internal matters, which might cause a lot of noise. He also said that he would be leaving the city again to hold another memorial ceremony.

When Lin Lao Er mentioned these things, he also gave some benefits.

They agreed casually, and no one took the matter seriously. They didn't even take the idea of borrowing the prison shackles seriously.

Who could have imagined that it would become such a big deal!
County Magistrate Zhang, who was sitting in the first seat, had a gloomy look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking, but he was definitely not in a good mood.

The other people in the seats below exchanged glances and communicated silently.

I really don't understand what the people in Luhua Lane are trying to do?
At the same time, there was an inexplicable fear in my heart.

"Are they crazy?" someone couldn't help but curse.

"Do Lin Lao Er and the others still want to stay in Bailu County?!"

There can only be one person in charge in Bailu County. Do they want to usurp the throne?
When was this planned, one thing after another?!
In just two days, there was no time for people to react.

Perhaps he had been planning this when Boss Yan got into trouble...

How insidious!

Many leaders of various forces were cursing at home, but they did not dare to take action immediately and could only continue to wait and see.

They watched as the people in Luhua Lane returned from the cemetery and returned to the lane, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

However, after one night, trouble started again!

Lin Laoer and his team announced the official establishment of the Huwei Escort Agency.

Taken from the names of Boss Yan and Boss Lin - Yan Hu and Lin Wei.

The dart flag was lit up——

The triangular flag, about three feet long and wide, was painted with a majestic, roaring tiger head, the same pattern as the plain cloth they had tied around their arms the day before.

We also hired people to preach in the streets and alleys of the city.

Well, they even changed their name.

The late Yan Lao Da is now called Yan Da Dang Jia. Lin Lao Er is officially called Lin Er Dang Jia. Please address him as such from now on!
There was no grand ceremony for the newly established escort agency. In extraordinary times, everything was kept simple and the news just had to be spread.

Official registration?

The county magistrate had already fled, and the county lieutenant...

I don’t know why, but now Lin Erdang and the others always feel that the title of “county lieutenant” is not enough of a status.

Are you qualified to review me?
Anyway, the situation has changed now and no court officials have come to investigate. If I say we are formal, then we are formal!
The leaders of various factions who were watching in the city felt their foreheads throbbing, their eyes were dazed and they had a terrible headache.

Is there something wrong with you in Luhua Lane?

The first day of fighting to quell the rebellion!
Fire sacrifice in front of the tomb the next day!
On the third day you said you were opening your business?!

What flag should be raised?

What business do you want to start?

What escort agency?

What are these?

Where on earth did you learn all these tricks?!
