Chapter 62 Windfall
In the end, Chen Fei and Chen Fei decided to follow the Xianyun caravan. Not for anything else, just for safety.
Chen Fei was deeply impressed by the strange encounter on the way to Xingfen City. Chen Fei didn't want to experience such a thing again. That red candle cost a thousand taels. If you followed other small caravans and accidentally used one, it would be even worse.
The Xianyun caravan obviously knew their value, so they dared to ask for such a price.
When Chen Fei and the two arrived at the station of the Xianyun caravan, they found that the place was already crowded with people.
Of course, most of them came to trade with the Xianyun caravan, and only a small part wanted to follow the caravan. But even this small group has nearly a hundred people.
"That's enough to earn one hundred thousand taels." Chen Fei said enviously.
Regardless of the fact that Chen Fei can now refine Changfu Dan, the income seems to be okay, but if he wants to save so much money, he must be at least a few months old, and Chen Fei can't be lazy.
And if there are so many benefits, I am afraid that it will cause some troubles.
But if you have money but don’t make money, it’s too uncomfortable to hold back.
"After three days, the Xianyun caravan will leave. So, it's not just one hundred thousand taels."
Chi Defeng sighed a little, he also likes money, and has saved a lot of money, but compared with the Xianyun caravan, he is not even qualified to compare.
"Leave at Chenshi in three days' time, and don't wait when it's overdue. Hold this sign, and when the time comes, you will recognize the sign but not the person."
At the place where the money was paid, the people from the Xianyun caravan glanced at Chen Fei and the two, and counted the money after receiving it. Don't ask the name and origin, because this is not important to the Xianyun caravan.
"Thank you!"
Chen Fei cupped his hands, looking at the cloud pattern on the sign. It shouldn't be difficult to imitate this thing, but there may be other things mixed in it, which can be recognized by the Xianyun caravan.
And taking a ride with a fake brand, it is estimated that not many people have the courage. Otherwise, if it is discovered, it will peel off its skin even if it does not die.
Chen Fei and the two turned around and left. Because of the arrival of the Xianyun caravan, Xingfen City, which was originally a little quiet, seemed to have returned to its former bustle.
There were people coming and going on the street, suddenly a figure seemed to be walking too fast, bumping into Chen Fei. Chen Fei stepped back and squeezed a hand.
"Alas, let go of my hand, what are you going to do!" Xu Su's face turned pale in pain, and he wanted to break free, but he felt as if his arm was clamped by pliers, and he couldn't move at all.
"Stealing things depends on the person!"
Chen Fei glanced at Xu Su, and threw his right hand, Xu Su fell to the ground, hit his head and bled.
Xu Su knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, so he didn't dare to call out any more. After getting up, he ran into the crowd in desperation and disappeared.
"I probably saw our brand." Chi Defeng smiled and shook his head.
The Xianyun caravan recognizes the brand but not the person, as long as they steal one such brand, it will be worth one thousand taels. I don't use it myself, and if I resell it, I can get a few hundred taels, which is simply a violent transaction.
"It seems that there will be a lot of thefts in Xingfen City in the past few days."
Chen Fei couldn't help shaking his head. Some warriors might rely on their strength to steal directly, or even grab it directly.
Chen Fei and the two walked around the street twice and purchased a lot of things.
This trip to Xianyun City will take more than ten days. The Xianyun caravan only agreed to let you follow, but did not say to provide food and water, you have to prepare these yourself.
Turning back and forth in several alleys, throwing off the people following behind, Chen Fei and the two returned to the courtyard.
Kexian Restaurant.
"It's a great honor to invite Director Dong to come here today." Xu Wangliang looked at Dong Yi and drank a glass to show his courtesy.
"The caravan will have something to do later, if you have something to do, you can just say it."
Dong Yi acted as if no strangers were allowed to enter, and he was entrusted by a friend to come to the banquet today. But before coming here, Dong Yi also knew what happened to Xu Wangliang recently, so he didn't want to meddle in his own business.
"The dog was killed, the hatred is irreconcilable. Xu has the guts to ask Supervisor Dong for a favor!"
Xu Wangliang was not angry when he saw Dong Yi's attitude. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Dong Yi.
Dong Yi subconsciously glanced at the silver bills, one thousand taels, and this stack, no less than ten thousand taels of silver. This handwriting is a bit big, and the big Dong Yi's expression eased a lot.
Don’t look at the Xianyun caravan’s fare collection, one thousand taels per person, more than one hundred and two hundred thousand taels in three days. But the money belongs to the caravan, and even though he, Dong Yi, is in charge, he won't get any profit from it.
But the ten thousand taels will probably belong to him later.
"I've also heard about your son. It's just that the thief is cunning, and you haven't been able to find him for so many days. I want to help, but I don't know how to do it."
"The thief must still be in Xingfen City, waiting for an opportunity to leave. Now as long as the distance is close enough, I can find a way to find that person, so I hope that after three days, Supervisor Dong will allow me to delay the caravan for a while, and let me find the thief!"
Xu Wangliang said with a gloomy face. According to the inference obtained from Wu Changli, Xu Wangliang has taken many caravans recently, but he has not found anyone.
Then the biggest possibility is that that person is waiting for the Xianyun caravan.
When the time comes for on-site inspection, Wu Changli claims that Gu worms can find people if the distance is close enough. That's why Xu Wangliang invited Dong Yi to a banquet, hoping that the other party could help with this.
If it is other small caravans, naturally there is no need to be so troublesome. Xu Wangliang's own strength is enough to force other caravans to agree. But the Xianyun caravan failed, and Xu Wangliang didn't have the strength or the guts to force it, so naturally he could only find connections.
"Those people who will be there three days later all paid the money. I am a little embarrassed by you doing this."
Dong Yi frowned slightly, one thousand taels per person, the price is already high enough. But because the safety can be basically guaranteed, the Xianyun caravan can accept it with peace of mind.
But now that the money has been collected, it would be too ugly to sell the person again three days later. Although Dong Yi is in charge, it is not easy to do such things that damage the reputation of the caravan.
"I hope Director Dong can understand."
Xu Wangliang took out another stack of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.
Dong Yi blinked. This stack is still 10,000 taels, adding the original ones, it will be 20,000 taels. It will take quite a long time for Dong Yi to earn this amount of money.
Now just nod, the money belongs to him.
Dong Yi struggled in his heart, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this, and it's easy to attract criticism."
"I also know that other people in the caravan have worked hard recently. I have no other indications. These hopes can buy some drinks for other people in the caravan."
As Xu Wangliang said, another 10,000 taels of silver bills were placed on the table. And it didn't stop, and then five thousand taels were placed on the other side.
"I feel guilty for delaying those people's time and looking for them with me. The five thousand taels will be my apology when the time comes."
"This, how can this be done!"
Dong Yi looked at Xu Wangliang and shook his head for a while, but his movements were not slow, and he quickly put the thirty-five thousand taels on the table into his sleeves.
"Thank you Director Dong for your success!"
Seeing Dong Yi accept the money, Xu Wangliang could not help but smile.
