Chapter 102 Mobilizing and Tracking
Chen Lai has never dealt with monks before and knows little about them. He knew that monks were generally fasting and chanting Buddha, giving kindness, and did not participate in secular enmity. Suddenly, the two monks did not have any good impression.
No matter who accuses them, get rid of all their groups first!
He is not sure to kill this group of people, and he is still a little confident to get rid of this group of people.
Judging that Chu Tao should come out, Chen Lai walked into a tailor's shop and waited. They had an appointment in advance, and the last shop they went to was this tailor shop, and then they went to the carriage shop on North Street.
About the exact location of these shops, they all heard from the little clerks in the inn. They were worried that Chu Tao would forget this. Chen Lai stood in front of the door and saw Chu Tao coming before he walked in.
"Sung, are you buying clothes or making clothes?"
The shopkeeper is in his forties, with a thin appearance and a smiling face. He pointed to a few well-made cotton-padded clothes around him and said, "There are several sets that have been made. If they fit, you can choose one."
Chen Lai nodded and pointed to his figure, "Do you think it fits me?"
The shopkeeper observed Chen Lai a few times and picked up a set of golden turtleneck wide-sleeved cotton-padded jackets. "Son, this is a good fit for you."
Chen came to see that it was a silk cotton-padded coat, and the color was too eye-catching. He asked, "Do you have a black one? If you have one, give me a set."
Hearing Chen Lai's affirmative tone, the shopkeeper answered happily: "Okay!"
At this time, Chu Tao came in, holding the child in one hand and a big package in the other, exhausted. When she came to Chen Lai's side, she put the package beside Chen Lai and went to the other side to choose the cotton-padded clothes suitable for her.
"Shopkeeper, do you still sell cotton boots in your tailor's shop?" Chen Lai found several pairs of cotton boots of different colors in the corner of the counter and pointed to them.
The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "Sir, it's a few pairs made of deer skin and crocodile skin. If you like it, I'll sell it to you at a cheap price!"
Chen Lai nodded, "Then give me that pair, and by the way, bring me a pair!"
The shopkeeper asked, "Sung, how big are your mother's feet?"
Chen Lai didn't think about it and pointed to Chu Tao next to her, "It's very close to that lady."
The shopkeeper glanced at Chu Tao and replied with a smile, "I know the guest officer!"
When Chu Tao heard this, she smiled quietly and smiled very sweetly.
After packing, Chen Lai put the two packages together, picked them up and left. When he came to the door of the store, he glanced around carelessly and looked down at Tian Peng, Mai Wanxiu and others who were watching in the distance.
Then, Chen Lai strode to the North Street. There is a large-scale carriage shop, which specializes in selling and renting carriages.
Entering the carriage, Chen Lai saw many beautiful carriages in the hall, large and small, with different colors.
At this time, a big man greeted him with a shaved beard. He knew that he was not fastid at a glance. He looked at Chen Lai and said coldly, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Lai's upper body is a tiger leather cotton coat, and his lower body is a wide black cotton trousers. The legs on his short boots are very tight, looking like a hunter, and the hunters are generally not rich, so the attitude of the big man is somewhat rude.
Chen Lai didn't care. Because he was wrapped around his nose and mouth by a hat, he couldn't see his expression. He asked lightly, "Rent a carriage?"
The big man sneered, "It's snowy now, and it's very expensive to rent a carriage!"
Chen Lai took out a few silver tickets from his waist, picked out one casually, and raised them in the air. "I don't know if this one is enough."
The big man is not blind. He can see that it is a silver ticket of 5,000 taels at a glance, and he dares not take it with his outstretched hands. He laughed and said, "Master, isn't it difficult for you? This big ticket can't be found.
Pointing to a 200 taels of silver ticket in Chen Lai's hand, "This one is enough."
Chen Lai threw the 200-li silver ticket to him, "I'm going to Xijing."
"Xijing?!" The big man was shocked.
"What's going on?"
The man hurriedly explained with a smile: "Master, you have to climb over Hufeng Mountain to go to Xijing. The snow is too heavy and the mountain road is too slippery. You need to wait until the snow melts, at least until the day after tomorrow!"
Chen Lai doesn't want to wait any longer, "I'll give you more money!"
The big man smiled bitterly and bowed his hands: "Master, this is not a matter of money, but a matter of safety. The road on Hufeng Mountain is tortuous and steep. Even if the snow melts, you have to put on eight horses to pull it! To tell you the truth, I, Tang San, have been driving the carriage for more than ten years, and I know the bottom of Hufeng Mountain! Do you think...can we wait until the day after tomorrow?
This is the case. Chen Lai thought that he had to wait for two days and took the opportunity to investigate the identity of the two monks. He nodded and said, "Then the day after tomorrow."
The big man held a silver ticket in his hands and reminded with a smile, "Master, if you go to Xijing, there is not much money left."
Chen Lai waved his hand and said, "How much is left is yours. By the way, do you know the 'Hakka Inn' in the southeast of the town?"
Tang San nodded, "This little knows."
Chen Lai arranged: "The morning after tomorrow, you drive the best carriage to pick me up at the Hakka Inn, pick me up here first, and then follow my arrangement."
Tang San couldn't help nodding, "The little one wrote it down, the little one wrote it down!"
Seeing Chu Tao suddenly come in, Chen Lai took Tang San to a corner and took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and handed it to him. "Did you see the young lady who just came in? Together with my package, pull her out first..."
"Let's do it!" Tang San held the silver ticket and liked it so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
Chen Lai grabbed him, "You have to remember that if someone asks you, you can say that the lady rented the carriage and don't mention me at all, okay?"
Tang San swore, "If I mention you, you will kill me!"
After a while, Chu Tao got into a bright and wide carriage and drove out through the back door of the carriage. Chu Tao didn't say a word from beginning to end. She knew that Chen came to make proper arrangements for all this.
"There is a carriage driving out through the back door. Go and find out who is sitting in it!"
The disciple who had been in charge of monitoring on the back door of the carriage line immediately asked a young disciple to inquire.
There were also many people in the back street, and the carriage drove very slowly. The young disciple walked to the carriage, casually pulled the thick curtain on the carriage, took a look and walked away immediately.
"Brother, it's a young woman holding a small package."
"Are you sure it's Chu Tao?"
"I keep my head down and can't see my face, but it feels like..."
"You two continue to monitor, and you two go and report it to the general manager!"
After a while, Tian Peng, Zhu Tang and others appeared behind the carriage.
not far behind them is the cold beautiful girl Mai Wanxiu.
Behind Mai Wanxiu are the monks in yellow jackets.
And behind the monk is... Chen Lai.
Slowly, the carriage drove away from the central street. As there were fewer and fewer people outside the town, the carriage was getting faster and faster, but it was not very fast. If you walked fast, you could catch up.
Seeing that the few people in front of him were walking faster and faster, Chen Lai stopped with a smile. Oh, this group of people will not be so easy to deceive, will they?
