A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 91: Hurrying but Not Leaving
Soon, the clothes were brought and I put on the warm wine. As expected, my spirit and energy were different.
"Thank you, brother. This is your reward for driving the car for me."
Before Zhang Can could ask her for a favor, Wen Meijiu automatically shut him up.
Zhang Can smiled helplessly and said:
"Okay, okay, you are much better than our county magistrate. You are not so greedy. I have to thank you."
The county magistrate issued a clear ban on individuals hoarding goods on the streets, but what about himself?
He tried every possible way to get other people's grain, and instead of sending it to the county granary, he hid it all in his private residence. Only the county magistrate knew whether it was sold or stored.
He interpreted shamelessness so vividly that Zhang Can, who knew the inside story well, couldn't help but want to insult him when he spoke.
"Be careful, the walls have ears."
Wen Meijiu reminded him quietly beside him.
"We're about to leave here anyway, so I'll just bear with it a little longer."
Soon, the grain was unloaded and the carriages were driven out again. Zhang Can led everyone away from here and went to Qingfeng Tower to transport the grain.
Money makes the world go round. When they arrived, the people Cheng Lu had sent out earlier had already found ten carriages and parked them at the back gate of Qingfeng Tower waiting for them.
Zhang Can went forward to inquire and found out that these ten carriages were requisitioned from the military camp a long time ago. Thanks to Cheng Lu's strong connections, he was able to help Zhang Can solve the problem so quickly.
"It seems that your ancestral jade pendant is a good thing."
Wen Meijiu felt sorry for Zhang Can.
Zhang Can said with a proud look on his face:
"That Cheng Lu is a rough guy. He can't tell the difference between good and bad jade. To tell you the truth, don't tell anyone else. That jade pendant is fake. I bought it for fun last month."
So that's why, Wen Meijiu wondered why he was so generous.
"Aren't you afraid that they'll ask someone else to look at it and then come after you?"
Zhang Can was so smart that Wen Meijiu guessed that she didn't go in to ask for the jade pendant for him, but had her own purpose. Unfortunately, she couldn't tell Zhang Can openly.
"He has to be able to find it first!"
Yes, after Zhang Can gets the food tonight, he will take his family and leave far away, so Cheng Lu will have no chance to look for them.
"Sister, I just can't bear to leave you now. Even though this is our first meeting, we still know each other by fighting."
Zhang Can looked at Wen Meijiu's still dirty little face, his eyes filled with sincerity and reluctance.
"Hey, I'm going to leave Minhuang County in the future, and maybe we'll meet somewhere else someday."
Wen Meijiu comforted him, but his mind was not entirely on that.
The previous five carriages, plus the later ten carriages, made a total of fifteen carriages, and the transportation speed was twice as fast as before.
During the time when the grain was being loaded onto the truck, Zhang Can disappeared, and Wen Meijiu knew that he had gone to make a connection.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wen Meijiu, dressed in a soldier's clothes, swaggered into the backyard and roughly counted the food in the yard.
There are about 10,000 kilograms of grain here. If 15 carriages are filled, it should be enough in one trip.
She counted the county magistrate's yard and found that there were six entrances in total, plus a garden.
As she expected, all six yards were filled with food.
Soon the grain was loaded onto the carriages, and Zhang Can appeared in the yard at the right time. The convoy began to drive out of the backyard of Qingfeng Tower in an orderly manner.
On the way, Wen Meijiu was worried and asked Zhang Can whether everything had been done. Zhang Can patted his chest and assured Wen Meijiu that he could do the job.
"You are going to lead the charge, and Big Brother will definitely not let you be alone."
Trust the people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust. Although Wen Meijiu had only known Zhang Cang for a short time, he still chose to trust him.
Because he was afraid of missing the deadline, Zhang Can led the convoy to drive two more streets, and finally arrived not far from the county magistrate's private residence when it was getting dark.
The brothers who had been waiting around came forward to meet Zhang Can.
"Brother, is this reliable?"
The sturdy man whose arm was injured by Wen Meijiu for the first time was called Dou Dashu. He was still unconscious when he was dragged away, but he has woken up now, but the wound on his arm is very painful. He just asked someone to take out the remnants of the hidden weapon inside, and then hung his arm wrapped in white cloth around his neck.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Zhang Can, but the last failure made him pay a heavy price.
Fortunately, he received timely treatment and saved his arm. God knows how painful it was when the doctor took the iron piece out of his arm.
Although Zhang Can was his childhood friend and there had never been any problems in their previous cooperation, Cheng Yaojin, who showed up last time, was a ruthless character and he was so scared that he was traumatized and was still nervous.
"Don't worry, Dashu. After we finish this job, we will take our relatives and food and flee far away.
The days ahead for Minhuang County will not be easy. It is unknown how long the thousands of disaster victims outside the city can hold out.
The county magistrate is incompetent, greedy and unjust. He doesn't care about our lives at all. We will find another wise leader, and you should follow us."
The past two years have been bad, and Dou Dashu's family could hardly make ends meet. In a fit of rage, he went up the mountain and became a bandit, at least so that he and his family could have something to eat.
But the good times did not last long. This year, he could not even survive as a bandit, so he found a way to contact his childhood friend Zhang Can. The two of them worked together to do a lot of things, and only then were they able to support the brothers who followed him.
"Leave? What do you think, brother?"
Minhuang County is where he was born and raised. Dou Dashu never thought of leaving. Even after he went up the mountain to become a bandit, he still never thought of leaving.
Even his mother said that it would pass if he just endured a little longer and better days would come.
Zhang Can had someone inform him that they were coming to rob food, but he didn't inform him that he was leaving. Why did he suddenly bring up this matter?
"Don't worry about it. There are experts to guide you."
Wen Meijiu was standing behind Zhang Can at this time and did not dare to speak rashly. After all, it was she who injured Dou Dashu's arm, and the two of them were enemies who were bloodthirsty at the time, so it was not her fault.
Zhang Can scratched his head and didn't feel comfortable mentioning Wen Meijiu. Dou Dashu's arm was still hanging around his neck. If he knew that he and Wen Meijiu had become friends, Dou Dashu would definitely hate him to death.
Seeing his childhood friend, who usually seemed carefree, suddenly becoming uncomfortable in expression and movements, Dou Dashu couldn't help but suspect that there was something else going on.
"No, brother, have you been threatened?"
Dou Dashu asked worriedly, saying that you have to be careful in everything you do these days.
Zhang Shen is different from Dou Dashu. He has ideals and ambitions, otherwise he would have followed Dou Dashu to the mountains to become a bandit.
He left not only to solve the problem of food and clothing, but also for a better future.
In private, he couldn't use what Wen Meijiu said to him to convince Dou Dashu, nor could he convince him.
Dou Dashu saw that Zhang Can was silent and looked anxious, and he felt even more unsure. Could it be that what he said came true?
