Chapter 278 Unexpected Disaster
Deng Laoer chose a sparse forest to take a short rest and understand what the two men were saying.
It turned out that after his two brothers left, Head Guard Deng really couldn't sit still and began to take on some bodyguard jobs in a private capacity - there was no other way, he didn't have much skills to make a living apart from doing this.
However, he protects people, not goods, which is similar to a private bodyguard. He only charges a day's fee for the day he protects them.
He wanted to protect the goods, but Qingning Mansion was only so big and had so much business. If he were to protect the goods, it would overlap with the Xiongfeng Escort Bureau's business.
Deng Yifu used to be the deputy chief of the Xiongfeng Escort Agency. He was fired by the Escort Agency after he was injured. It is said that the Escort Agency felt sorry for him, but he always remembered his past love and was unwilling to compete with the Escort Agency for business.
He thinks that he can't have much influence on the Escort Agency by accepting small orders from guarantors - I rely purely on my own cultivation to make a living. In this market, even Xiongfeng Escort Agency can't take advantage of it.
In fact, in Xiyin City, there are many warriors who take on this kind of guarantor order, but the escort leader Deng is a mid-level martial artist with a high enough level of cultivation, and he has been in the escort industry. This means that he is skilled in the business and is better than a novice. Much more believable.
Speaking of trustworthiness, he has an advantage, that is, he is from a local in Xiyin City. Compared with those wandering martial arts cultivators, a person like him who knows the basics can easily win the trust of his customers - those who hire private bodyguards. , all attach great importance to safety.
Because of these factors, it is easier for Deng Yifu to take on jobs, his life is relatively relaxed, and sometimes he still has room for choice.
A while ago, an old client of Deng Yifu came over and said that he planned to build a fleet dedicated to transportation, and invited him to become a shareholder.
The transportation industry in this plane is similar to the concept of the earth world.
If you have a horse-drawn carriage at home, you can run transportation, run a single gang, or register under the name of other fleets, and even accept fleet dispatch--of course, this saves worry and improves safety, but the profits are also thin. .
As for the Yu family's horse and carriage shop, it belongs to a comprehensive transportation company, carrying both freight and passengers.
The racing gangs envy those who have a racing team, but those who have a racing team only dream of developing a horse racing business.
This old customer found Deng Biaotou because he trusted him as a person, secondly because he valued Deng Biaotou’s experience in the world, and thirdly... Deng Biaotou’s cultivation level was really good, and he was also well-respected in the world. .
It costs money to organize a convoy. If Deng Biaotou wants to become a shareholder, he also has to invest a lot of money. At the same time, he has to be responsible for escorting. If he doesn't go out and just wants to enjoy happiness, why should others let him become a shareholder? ?
Deng had some savings and borrowed some money from a bank. After being fired, he started a new business.
Seven or eight days ago, he escorted a group of farm tools out of the country, but was stopped by county soldiers at the border of Qingning Province. They said they had received a tip that there were weapons hidden in the convoy.
When the county soldiers searched, they found swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons among the farm tools, as well as two crossbows.
Donghua Kingdom does not control weapons very strictly. People can carry swords on the streets. However, there are certain procedures for selling weapons. Generally speaking, if weapons are sold across the border, they must be registered.
——You can sell weapons, but you must let the government know, otherwise it will be smuggling weapons, which is a serious crime.
The county soldiers discovered the weapons in the farm tools, and the convoy was involved in a lawsuit.
Deng Yifu knew very well that this was being framed, and the team's major shareholders also knew it, but there was no way, the law was the law.
The major shareholder approached someone and said that he wanted to make some changes, but the government's answer was that we are also investigating whether weapons are being smuggled. If you pay a deposit first, we will not put you in jail.
Needless to say, you know that if you hand over these deposits, there will be no return - even if you are innocent and want your deposit back, you will have plenty of time to wait.
The major shareholder paid one hundred silver dollars. He was originally a well-known businessman in Xiyin City. He was rich, powerful and respectable. This amount of money was nothing.
But the deposit Deng Yifu needed to pay was much higher, as high as five hundred silver dollars.
He was a small shareholder, so why did he pay five times as much as the major shareholder?
The reason is simple. Deng Yifu was in charge of this escort trip and was to blame for the problems. However, the major shareholder may have been "uninformed" and kept in the dark.
This amount of money is really hard to break for head escort Deng. You must know that a middle-level martial artist can only make a living in an escort agency for only twenty or thirty silver dollars a month - the escort agency is a high-risk industry, so he can only earn so much.
Even if he was still working as the vice-president of the Xiongfeng Escort Bureau, he had to save for two years to save such a sum of money.
For example, the Deng brothers can earn a salary of eight silver dollars a month from Feng Jun, which is quite a good salary for ordinary high-level warriors.
Captain Deng makes a lot of money, but he has two martial arts sons at home. They came from creditors in his previous life. It was not easy for his son to make money. Not long ago, he bought a stake in the team, and all his savings were spent. He still owed a lot of money. debt.
If nothing else happens, he will be able to get his money back in a year, but now, he can't even raise a hundred silver dollars.
Even if you can't get it together, you have to get it together. Now the escort leader Deng is locked up in the government office. The government has said when the money will be raised, when the person will be released - and that is not a real release, just a bailout.
The wife of escort chief Deng borrowed money everywhere, and so far she had managed to borrow more than two hundred. She couldn't think of any other way, so she could only consider mortgaging the house to raise another sum.
The Deng family's house is not very big, just over an acre of land, but the house in Fucheng is still quite popular. According to the current market, it should be worth four to five hundred silver dollars.
Mrs. Deng found a pawn shop, but they only offered eighty silver dollars—yes, that’s what the pawn was worth.
Death is more expensive, one hundred and thirty silver dollars.
Mrs. Deng was so angry that she went crazy, so she asked Deng's friends and people from the dental industry to sell the house.
Someone originally planned to buy it for 300 silver dollars, but Mrs. Deng hoped to sell it for a little more. As a result, half a day later, a new price was quoted directly - 140 silver dollars. If it was higher, she wouldn't take it.
This kind of bargaining is so bad that it doesn't take more than one stab at the waist. It is really too much to bully others.
Mrs. Deng was furious when she heard this, saying that mountains and rivers meet each other. If you act like this, if all three men in my family are dead, then I will have nothing to say, otherwise we will find this situation again sooner or later!
The person who made the quotation was introduced by an old friend of the escort chief Deng. After hearing this, I could only ask that old friend to pass on the message: It’s not that I have a bad heart, it’s someone from the Hall of Heroes who found me and said that they are interested in your house. , I am not allowed to bid more than one hundred and forty silver dollars.
Immediately afterwards, someone from Qunying Hall came and said that they wanted to buy the house and offered a price of one hundred and forty-five yuan.
Not only was it only five yuan more, but the visitor also made it clear: I can guarantee that no one will spend more money to buy your house.
Qunyingtang cannot cover the sky with one hand in Xiyin, but those forces that can offend Qunyingtang will not come forward to confront them because of such a trivial matter.
The two people Deng Laoer met in the restaurant, one was a peripheral member of Qunyingtang, and the other was a confidant of the bank boss.
After Deng's accident happened, the bank boss did not add insult to injury because the money borrowed by Deng had not yet reached the repayment deadline. People in this dimension pay great attention to credibility, which is much better than banks in modern society.
Of course, the reason why he could sit still was because the two sons of Deng Biaotou began to make money.
This time, this peripheral member came to have the Deng family's house in mind.
The more Deng Lao Er listened, the more angry he became. He slapped more than twenty guys from Qunying Hall and knocked out more than half of his teeth, "The property of the Marle Gobi and my Deng family is what you villains dare to care about? "
Only then did the man know that the one who had captured him was actually the second among the Deng brothers. He wanted to explain something, but the second Deng simply waved his hand and said, "Gag these two first, let's go into the city!"
At the gate of the city, the guards saw these two dozen strong men with horses and weapons. They were extremely capable. They did not dare to neglect them and stepped forward to check their identities.
The guards were shocked when they saw the badges of the guards of Duke Yongyi's mansion. They checked a dozen people one after another and found that they all had such badges. Then they plucked up the courage to ask, "Why are you here?"
The man from the Duke's Mansion raised his chin and spit out the four-character mantra, "It's none of your business!"
When the guard heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: It was indeed Duke Yongyi, not a fake.
As for the dozen or so people behind them, they didn't bother to check. There were two twisting cloth bags tied to the backs of the two horses. Don't be afraid to check.
Of course, they still had to report this news to their superiors. The Duke's Crown Prince had just arrived, and the palace officials were very fawning over him. This time would be no exception.
Fucheng in the afternoon was not too lively, and the horses could actually speed up a bit. However, this is the city after all, and horses cannot run wildly. However, with more than 20 horses, the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the bluestone road also brought people a sense of excitement. A feeling of a storm.
Deng Laoer led his troops through the streets and soon arrived in front of his house.
The door of the Deng family's house is wide open. This is not because something happened to the Deng family. In this kind of society, except for high-ranking officials and rich people, most people's yards are not closed during the day.
In fact, the Deng family's house is divided into two parts: front and back. Because the Deng family is not prosperous, the front yard is rented out to several tenants to supplement the family income. Of course, it cannot be closed.
Most of the tenants were old tenants. When UU Reading www.uukanshu.net saw Deng Laoer returning with a group of people, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Second Young Master is back?"
Deng Laoer nodded. Before he could speak, he heard roars coming from the backyard. He couldn't help but change his face, jumped off his horse and rushed over.
At this time, the tactics of Duke Yongyi's guards were revealed. Seven or eight people chased in. Some were guarding the horses, while others jumped out to protect the way back. Two people even jumped directly onto the roof. Look around.
Seeing their well-trained appearance, several tenants exchanged looks: It seems that the matter is not a small matter.
But this is fine. If the Deng family can protect their property, they can continue to rent with peace of mind.
