Chapter 12

Han Bao is a rough man, but he is not an idiot. He can naturally see the good or bad of Chu Xiu's plan.

In the past, among the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland, there were such people who specially advised them, and even a few leaders of the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland were such scheming and calculating people.

If Ma Kuo hadn't told him Chu Xiu's identity before, Han Bao would have wanted to recruit Chu Xiu into their cottage.

Although Chu Xiu's strength is not worth mentioning, based on what he said today, Chu Xiu is qualified to raise conditions with Han Bao.

"By the way, boy Chuxiu, you gave me such an idea. I still don't know what you want."

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. I also have a caravan in the Chu family. I hope that my caravan can go in and out of Shangmang Mountain unimpeded. And since I have cooperated with you, Boss Han, I also hope that I When I need to ask you, Boss Han, to help me kill, Boss Han, you can do it."

Han Bao showed a smile that was not a smile on his slightly ferocious face: "The first one is no problem. Although my thirty-six bandits in the Northland are still bandits, they also pay attention to the morals of the rivers and lakes. Since you I came up with such a good idea, so I will naturally agree to your conditions.

But the second one, are you going to use me, Han Bao, as your thug? This news alone is not enough! "

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Cooperation is only when there is reciprocity, and of course I can give Boss Han more than that.

My Chu family is the local snake in Tongzhou Prefecture. There is also an inn business in Tongzhou Prefecture. Most of the caravans traveling to and from Tongzhou Prefecture live in my Chu family’s inn. I can find out their information, including their plans to leave. route, what to carry, etc. "

Han Bao's eyes lit up immediately. If he had this information, his cottage would not be empty if he made a move.

At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, in a few days, I will send news of a Chu family caravan to you, Boss Han. If you take action to rob and kill, it will be considered as a meeting gift for you, Boss Han."

Han Bao frowned and said, "You asked me to rob the caravan of your Chu family? What do you mean?"

There was a gleam of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes and said: "That is the Chu family's caravan, not 'my' caravan!"

Han Bao and Ma Kuo looked at each other, their hearts shuddered.

In terms of ruthlessness, these bandits are not as vicious as these so-called disciples of aristocratic families. They are so vicious when they attack their own people, let alone other people.

Boss Han agreed to Chu Xiu's cooperation conditions, and Chu Xiu agreed with the other party on the contact information and returned to Tongzhou Mansion. Gao Bei was also sent back by Ma Kuo's men.

Seeing Chu Xiu again, Gao Bei almost didn't cry.

Facing these bandits all day long, Gao Bei can be said to have lived like a year. He was afraid that he would offend the other party and be hacked by the other party.

Seeing Gao Bei's appearance, Chu Xiu couldn't help shaking his head. Although Gao Bei was conscientious in his work, he was a little too timid.

After entering the city, Chu Xiu returned directly to Chu's house, but at this moment, there were a group of people busy in front of the gate of Chu's house, loading boxes of goods into the car, as if they were about to leave.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xiu's expression suddenly darkened.

Recently, the Chu family didn't have any caravans coming in and out, only a caravan leading to the country of Yan, so these people knew who they were without asking.

But the problem is that this caravan is under his own management now, and as a result, he is not there, and this group of people is about to set off. It is really like what Gao Bei said, the people in this caravan probably did not plan to listen to him from the beginning. if.

"Who told you to go?" Chu Xiu asked with a gloomy face.

A caravan steward in his forties trotted over. With a humble smile on his face, he bowed to Chu Xiu and said, "Villain Zhang Quan is the steward of the caravan. I have met the second son."

Zhang Quan's attitude is not arrogant, and even a little low-key, but Chu Xiu still said coldly: "Who is in charge of this caravan now?"

Zhang Quan smiled and said, "Of course it's under the care of the Second Young Master."

Chu Xiu looked directly at Zhang Quan, and said solemnly: "Since it is under my control, who allowed you to load the goods and set off now? How much money was sold for the last batch of goods, and what did you bring back? What are you going to transport, have you discussed this with me?"

Zhang Quan lowered his head and put on a humble gesture: "Second Young Master, please forgive me, but at that time Second Young Master was not in the mansion, and the villain couldn't find anyone to discuss it with, so I went to inform the Patriarch, and after getting the Patriarch's consent That's it.

Time waits for no one, if the time of the caravan is delayed, it will be money, but second son, don't worry, the villain has been in charge of the caravan for so many years, but there has never been anything wrong.

Of course, if you are really dissatisfied, then wait for the villain to come back this time and let the second son dispose of him. "

At this moment, many members of the Chu family had surrounded the gate of the Chu family, and everyone looked at Chu Xiu with mocking eyes.

Any idiot can see that although Zhang Quan's attitude is extremely low-key and humble, he made it clear that even if he doesn't give Chu Xiu face, he also won't give him the opportunity to join the caravan.

However, compared with the arrogant Steward Liu before, although Zhang Quan was only in charge of the caravan, he traveled all over the world with a very smooth attitude, an old fritter, no oil and salt.

Now in front of everyone, his attitude has been lowered so low, and he is even talking about the interests of Chu Zongguang and the entire caravan. What can Chu Xiu do to him?

Beat him up for no reason? He was not Steward Liu, because Chu Xiu caught him because he said something wrong.

Besides, even if Chu Xiu was really crazy enough to attack him for no reason, someone would stop him in public, and Chu Xiu might even lose his position as the caravan manager because of this incident.

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. He walked over and patted Zhang Quan on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Guan Zhang, right? Very good, you did a good job, I just hope you don't regret it."

A smug look flashed in Zhang Quan's eyes, and he smiled humbly: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for your compliment. I will never regret doing things for the Chu family."

Chu Xiu said lightly: "It's good that you don't regret it, Manager Zhang, I wish you a good journey."

Zhang Quan frowned, why does the word "go all the way" sound so awkward? But he didn't care, he was already on the third son's side, and he was destined to be different from the unfavorable second son, if he offended, he would be offended, it's no big deal.

The other onlookers of the Chu family also smiled secretly and shook their heads. This Chu Xiu was still a little tender, and was so run on by an old fritter like Zhang Quan that he was speechless.

After the crowd dispersed, Chu Xiu led Gao Bei back to his courtyard with a gloomy face.

Just as Gao Bei was about to say something, Chu Xiu's gloomy expression returned to normal in an instant. He asked Gao Bei, "Can you find out the route of the caravan?"

Gao Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course, every time the caravan departs, it must be recorded in the Chu family, so that we can estimate where the caravan is at each time. Even if you look for it, this thing is not a secret, it is easy to see."

Chu Xiu took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, drew a strange mark on it, and handed it to Gao Bei, "Go and get the caravan's route map, and put it in the chaotic place three miles north of the city." Among the stone piles."

Although Gao Bei was honest, he was not stupid, and he could probably guess what Chu Xiu wanted to do, which made him shiver.

But he is already on Chu Xiu's side, he can only do what Chu Xiu asked him to do, otherwise, he has already felt the consequences from Chu Xiu's ruthless way of doing things.

At this time Zhang Quan's caravan had already left the city, one of the stewards approached Zhang Quan, frowned and said, "Lao Zhang, you offended the Second Young Master to death today, but I have heard people say that the Second Young Master How did you deal with Steward Liu during the family discussion? This Second Young Master is different from the previous Second Young Master after he came back from the Nanshan mining area."

Zhang Quan said indifferently: "Of course I know, but don't forget, how many benefits we have received from the third son over the years, including that time when we were deceived once and bought a bunch of fake medicines. But the third son and the second wife helped us cover it up.

We are all servants of the Chu family, but it is not certain who the Chu family will belong to in the future. Since we have already stood in line, then don’t be half-hearted. If something happens, the second lady and the third son will help us carry it down .

Just like today, I can't fault my attitude. How dare he kill me? The Chu family is a big family. Since it is a big family, we must follow the rules. As long as we don't break the rules, Chu Xiu can't move us. "

The steward nodded, but still felt a little uneasy.
