Eternal traitor

Chapter 407

After arranging the people in the convoy, Li Hua took Li Yi and Li San to the outside and wandered around. After turning around, Li Hua frowned.

Although it was under construction, he saw many problems.

For example, at this time, the guard in charge of standing guard actually chatted with some merchants unscrupulously, without any sense of crisis at all. Even the weapons around him were placed between the two of them. If you attack, the guard will be beheaded immediately.

There was one more thing that made him feel uneasy.

There are too many entourages of the merchants, almost every merchant has about 20 entourages, and there are a few bodyguards here to guard the house. They all hold a wooden stick in their hands. If they attack others, the strength is also extraordinary.

Back in his own carriage, it has been repaired for half an hour now, Li Hua didn't say much else, but his face was not good-looking, which scared the officials in charge here, the officials here are One of Li Hua's subordinates who followed Li Hua to build the road was not a high-ranking official, and Li Hua didn't know him, but this sharp-eyed official recognized Li Hua at a glance.

Although he knew that Li Hua was no longer an official, he still did not let down his flattery. This is how the officialdom is. Although he is now in decline, he does not know when he will rise.

The carriage was on the road again, but it attracted the attention of many people in the service area, especially some people from the Lu family who had quietly sent the news back.

It was getting dark gradually, but the convoy didn't intend to stop. Instead, it took advantage of the darkness to move forward, and there was no place to recognize the way, as long as it walked forward along the cement road.

Because every other distance, there will be a small post station responsible for replacing the messengers with horses, and each post station has ten people to maintain it. These people are people in the government. Once something unexpected happens It will also be dealt with immediately.

I thought it would be a lonely night, but what Li Hua didn't expect was that there were a lot of pedestrians coming and going at night. I asked the reason and found out that there were too many people in the daytime, and they couldn't walk fast.Now you don’t have to worry about being robbed when walking at night. There are three service areas, and there are five post stations along the way. Small-scale guards are so powerful that merchants can put down their worries, and when walking at night, these merchants often count Everyone grieved together, and hired some defenders to accompany them.

And after these guards charge a certain fee, they will follow the merchants to advance together, and they can protect them when encountering situations, and these guards are equivalent to patrolling along the way.

But it is a trivial matter to hire guards to spend a certain amount of money. What is more important is that the number of guards needs to meet a certain number, otherwise, even if the money is given, they will not be given.With the vehicle merchants coming and going, followers are also indispensable, so that many people in Fenglan County now have a new job, that is, as followers and coolies, and even privately hired guards.

This road not only opened up the interests of merchants, but even the people living around started the road to wealth in business because of this road. And it is not certain whether it will be sold or not.

If you can't sell it, not only will you suffer, but you will not be able to receive a penny, and you will be pushing your things back and forth. As for staying in the capital of King Qin? ?
Where are ordinary people willing to spend such a sum of money?They would rather find a shelter from the wind and sleep on the street.

Well now, they just need to take the food, vegetables and things they want to sell to the service area, and someone will buy them there. If your things are old furniture, or some weird things, then There will also be a special market area for you to buy and sell. You only need to pay a penny a day to trade. Of course, there are good and bad locations. The good ones are more expensive, but the highest fee will not exceed One tael of silver.

It was already late at night, Li Hua slowly lowered the car window, and took off the partition along the way. With the experience of being assassinated a few times before, Li Hua's carriage has been changed into a special, wooden carriage. There is also a thin layer of iron, even if the carriage becomes a sieve, there will be no arrows that can pass through.

For safety's sake, Li Hua's car window was also fitted with a baffle. Today's unremarkable carriage has become an armored vehicle of this era.

Looking back, there were two little girls who were sleeping soundly beside Li Hua in the carriage. They gently covered the girls with a quilt, and Li Hua couldn't help showing a trace of worry.

Wonder how she is now?

In the darkness, Xiaoyuan's figure appeared in Li Hua's mind. Where is that silly girl now?Wang Ning is a smart person. Since he knows the importance of Xiaoyuan to him, he will definitely hide it and exchange it for something when necessary.

Xiaoyuan's grave was dug up by Wang Ning, and he must have taken her away. According to the information about the poison, Xiaoyuan is probably still alive.But on Tiger God Mountain, Wang Ning didn't take out Xiaoyuan in exchange for his own life, which is a bit strange.

It is definitely a narrow escape for him to escape from his grasp. Could it be that he is really so confident that he will be able to escape? ?This possibility is small but not impossible.

But compared to this possibility, Li Hua believes in another guess... Xiaoyuan escaped from Wang Ning's grasp.

Wang Ning is a scholar in Fenglan County. Does he have the ability to save his life? It is not easy for him to escape from Fenglan County's blockade for several months, let alone bring a woman with him.

In addition to these two possibilities, there is another possibility that Li Hua doesn't want to think about, and that is... Madoka is dead.In this way, the reason why Wang Ning would rather take risks than hand over people is established.

Several months have passed now, and I have issued a huge reward to find Xiaoyuan to get 10 taels of silver, but even so, there is still no news, the passage of time makes Li Hua feel more and more desperate, This fool who gave him everything, but he buried her with his own hands, Li Hua couldn't accept such a result.

This time, leaving King Qin wanted to avoid disputes quietly for one reason, and the other reason was to investigate Xiaoyuan's affairs again. I would not give up the possibility of searching. If I can't find it in a year, I will look for it in ten years. If you can't find yourself in ten years, you can find yourself for a lifetime.
