A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1401

[Chapter 1390]

On Dongmen Street in the capital, the bluestone road stretches straight out. A magnificent mansion is located in the middle of Dongmen Street. There are two stone altars on the left and right in front of the door. A flag is fluttering on the top of the pole, and the flag on the right is embroidered with a red morning sun. Although the sky is already dark, the lantern at the door is still as red as blood according to the rising sun, while the flag on the left is embroidered with “Rising Sun”. The four characters of escort bureau, silver hook and iron stroke, domineering without losing restraint.

The door of the house is covered with copper nails the size of teacups, shining brightly, and the plaque at the front of the door reads “Rising Sun Escort” in four large gold lacquer characters.

The imperial city was besieged, and the Rising Sun Escort Agency was like ordinary people, closing the door and never opened the door to receive business all day, but at this time, it was impossible for anyone to come to the escort.

Among the four major escort bureaus in Beijing, the Rising Sun escort bureau is the strongest. Even many people know that Ding Yitu, the chief escort of the Rising Sun Watch, has a close relationship with Dou Kui, the minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

Ding Yitu used to be a general of the Qinhuai Army, but he violated the military law and was expelled from the Qinhuai Army. The backbone actually opened the No. 1 escort bureau in the capital.

Among the four major escorts, the Rising Sun Escort is the latest to open, and the business of each line is almost monopolized by the other three major escorts. I don’t know what means Ding Yitu used to get through Dou Kui’s path. During the Qinhuai War, he helped the Ministry of Housing to escort food and grass to the front line. For a time, the Rising Sun Escort became famous. Not only did the business boom, but also directly monopolized it. business on the northern line.

This is not because the court has no officers and soldiers to protect food, but at that time, the Rising Sun Security Bureau offered to participate in the task of food protection and did not ask for any fees.

After the Rising Sun Escort became prosperous, the Ministry of Household even often handed over the messengers who escorted the tax and silver to Ding Yitu, so in just a few years, the Rising Sun Escort had become the most powerful escort among the four major escorts.

Ding Yitu sits at the head office of the Rising Sun Escort Bureau in Beijing. There are hundreds of people in the escort bureau. Apart from some brave men who came out of the army, there are also good players from all corners of the country. In the past two years, Ding has hardly been used. Yi Tu personally darts.

The soldiers and horses entered the city, and the Rising Sun Escort thought it was impossible for business to come to the door today, but after dark, the door of the escort was knocked open, and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came to the escort with two entourage, claiming to ask the Rising Sun Guard to protect him. Escort, according to the rules of the escort bureau, when a guest comes to the door, of course, they are invited to the living room for tea first. After taking a seat, the tea comes, and Bai Li, the deputy chief escort of the Rising Sun Escort Bureau, came into the hall, cupped his hands and smiled: “My dear Rising Sun escort bureau Bai Li, Dare to ask your honorable name?” Before speaking, he had already scrutinized the other party.

There are guests at the escort, please enter the living room, it seems to be the way of hospitality, but there is a doorway in the middle, which is actually used to observe the identity of the guests.

The people in the escort bureau are ushered in and sent to the escort. The ability to observe words is very good. From the clothes and behavior of the other party, you can roughly judge the status of the other party. If you are an ordinary customer, you can find a dart head at will. , it will let the deputy chief dart come forward, and the really powerful role will be played by Ding Yitu himself, but now there are very few people who can really let Ding Yitu come forward, that is, let Bai Li come forward people are not very common.

This middle-aged man is in his forties, with a strong back and a strong waist, but his skin is dark and rough. Like ordinary people, it is precisely because of this that Bai Li came forward to receive him today.

Originally, he came out as Bai Li to receive him, but he could be considered as giving face to the other party. Who knew that person was holding a teacup, glanced at Bai Li, and asked, “Is Mr. Ding’s head available?”

“This…?” Bai Li said with a smile: “The chief dart still has some things to deal with.

Bai can call the shots.

”

“Come over to Director Ding.” The middle-aged man said, “I have to talk to Director Ding this time.”

Bai Li frowned, but still smiled apologetically: “Bai Mou said, I can call the shots of your dart.”

“You can’t be the master.” The middle-aged man said rudely: “You are not qualified enough, this trip is too important, and the head of the escort Ding must come to discuss it in person.”

The guards eat Jianghu rice and give them face. The other party’s attitude is not good, and Bai Li is a little annoyed, but he still smiles reluctantly: “The Rising Sun Escort has received from 1,000 to 800 darts. For us, Every dart trip is very important. Even if you tell us what you want us to do, Bai will do it according to your request, and there will be no mistakes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a “choking” sound. The middle-aged man smashed the teacup on the ground, and the good teacup suddenly shattered to the ground. Bai Li stood up abruptly, and several escorts rushed in outside the door. It looks fierce.

The Rising Sun Escort is very powerful. These young people are not allowed to walk through the darts for many dignitaries, but no one dares to throw things in the escort.

Seeing the escort rushing in, Bai Li raised his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, held his temper, stared at the middle-aged man and said, “If your Excellency is an escort, you can say now that if you are here to make trouble, the Rising Sun Guard is not vegetarian. ”

“Are you deaf?” The middle-aged man looked at Bai Li and said, “I’m looking for Ding Yitu, didn’t you hear?”

“Please!” Bai Li raised his hand towards the door and made a gesture of seeing off guests.

The middle-aged man had no intention of leaving. He leaned back on the chair and sneered, “Is the Rising Sun Escort Bureau escorting escorts? Since I’m here today, you have to take escorts this time, or even if you don’t!”

Bai Li clenched his fists, his eyes were like knives, he snorted coldly, and said: “If you really came to find fault, don’t open your eyes to see where this is.” Shen said: “Come on, send them out!”

Several escorts did not hesitate and rushed forward. One of them stretched out his hand to pull the middle-aged man out of the chair. Before they touched the middle-aged man, they heard a cold drink: “What are you doing?” But it was the middle-aged man. A follower of the man came out, and the hand was already on the shoulder of the escort. It was just a pull, but he did not see how hard he was, but the escort stepped back a few steps. When the others saw this, they knew The visitor was unkind, and with a “choking” sound, someone had already drawn a knife.

The middle-aged man sighed: “The Rising Sun Escort Agency has a reputation, but I don’t want to have a false name. I went to the door to support the escort, and you guys even drew your swords to face each other. Why, do you really want to see blood?”

Bai Li was about to speak, but heard a voice coldly say: “Stop!” Everyone followed the sound, only to see a person wearing a purple robe coming out from behind, with a stern look, but it was the chief escort of the Rising Sun Escort. Ding Yitu.

Seeing Ding Yitu appear, the guards did not dare to act rashly, Ding Yitu just winked, and everyone looked at each other and retreated.

Ding Yitu looked at the middle-aged man, showed a slight smile, and cupped his hands: “My dear Ding Yitu, dare to ask your honorable name?”

“Boss Ding’s head is such a big frame.” The middle-aged man laughed, but he didn’t mean to get up, “Today, there is a dart to be entrusted to the head of the head of Ding, and no one else can take it except head of the head of Ding. ”

Ding Yitu smiled and said: “It’s easy to say.” Sitting down opposite the middle-aged man, he asked with a smile: “I don’t know where your darts are going and when will you leave?”

“Go to Xiangyang.” The middle-aged man said: “Boss Ding, I wonder how many people in your escort bureau can make darts right now?”

“As long as you are in the escort bureau, you can make darts.” Ding Yitu said: “In addition to Ding Mou and Bai Datou, there are eight dart heads and dozens of darts. If you feel that there are not enough people, I am here. While you can still call up people, just ask your Excellency how many people do you need for this dart trip?”

“The more people, the better.” Ding Yitu took out a small brocade box from his arms and put it on the case at hand, “This is the cargo of the dart!”

Bai Li glanced at it and said with a sneer: “Your Excellency, we will send an executioner to deliver it smoothly.”

“It’s not big, but it’s really important.” The middle-aged man said: “I mean, I want to ask all the available people in the Rising Sun Security Bureau to guard the body.”

Bai Li stared at the middle-aged man and said, “The bodyguard is fine, but do you know that you have to use so many people, this dart…!”

“Don’t worry.” The middle-aged man said with a smile: “As long as the darts are delivered smoothly this time, the darts will be enough to save you from taking other business for a year. Two silver…!”

Bai Li was stunned, but Ding Yitu was calm and said with a smile: “You can have 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver. Your Excellency is indeed very valuable. It is natural to send more people to escort it. I will arrange it here. , Your Excellency clearly states the location and delivery time, and after paying some deposit, I can issue a dart list for you.”

“That’s very good.” The middle-aged man said: “Then the head of Ding should ask your people to prepare. After an hour at the latest, we will set off. This trip will be escorted by the head of Ding, and it is naturally a horse. to success.”

Bai Li showed a slightly surprised look: “Let’s go tonight? Do you want… the chief dart head to guard the dart himself?”

“That’s right.” The middle-aged man nodded and said, “This cargo cannot be delayed, and we need to leave immediately. The three of us will go with you.” He took out the silver ticket: “I heard that the dart board usually charges 20% of the dart fee. , according to the 50,000 taels of darts, you need to take out 10,000 taels first, which happens to be 10,000 taels of silver notes, and the rest will be paid immediately after delivery.”

Ding Yitu smiled and shook his head: “I can’t leave tonight, and Ding will not personally escort this trip. Ding will arrange for Chief Bai to lead the team, and we will not be able to leave until tomorrow at the earliest.”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “I can’t wait, I’m leaving tonight, and I’ll leave immediately in an hour.”

Bai Li sneered: “Don’t you know that all the gates of the capital have been blocked today, and it is impossible to go out tonight. You want to go out of the city tonight, it’s just whimsical.”

“Others can’t get out, but the Rising Sun Escort can.” The middle-aged man said with a smile: “I heard that the Rising Sun Escort is very powerful and has good relations with many officials in the DPRK. Why spend a lot of money to find you?”
