Chapter 68 Forced Extortion
Fan Xi stood in front of Xiao Tianjian with a helpless face. After sighing, he said to Xiao Tianjian, "The big head is really powerful, but I don't know how the head Xiao can see my flaw?"
Xiao Tianjian replied proudly, "I'm so proud of you! This can only be blamed on the housekeeper Fan for mentioning that the shopkeeper Fan was tied down, which aroused my vigilance! In front of so many people, I kidnapped Miss Fan, but the shopkeeper Fan still suppressed the news. So I'm afraid that people who don't have any skills can do this. What's more, it's obviously not normal for Shopkeeper Fan to send you here this time. If there is anything, you can actually talk about it in Pingyang Mansion, but he is not. It doesn't make sense to send you here and bring a few maids! Isn't he afraid that you will be left by me again and become meat tickets?
So I was a little suspicious about this matter. Think about it carefully. If you think about it, the shopkeeper Fan can make the business so big. On that day, there were dozens of armed men alone. There must be his own force behind him. Maybe he will sneak into me with you, so I cheated you first. Your face told you. Tell me that there is indeed something wrong with you, so I sent someone out to inquire. This questioning found the more than 30 people behind you! So I invited them into my village and spent the Spring Festival together! Humph!"
Fan Xi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Xiao is really awesome! Fan admires it! This time we fell! Xiao said, how to deal with me! For the old general, you have to kill him, but please don't hurt our Miss Fan! It's our fault, and we are willing to compensate for it!"
Xiao Tianjian suddenly laughed and shook his head and said, "Housekeeper Fan's words are different. I, Xiao, really want to do business with the Fan family!" We will never hurt Miss Fan at all, and housekeeper Fan will see your Miss Fan early tomorrow morning! Let's see if someone has lied!
As for this matter, I can not blame in the past, but after asking Housekeeper Fan to go back this time, I will also tell the shopkeeper Fan that I don't want to do such a small action in the future! And those thieves, I want to stay. You can do this matter. I don't care about the relationship between you. In short, they will follow me in the future. Otherwise, we will give up our business. I'm looking for another master! As for Miss Fan, she is ready to stay with me forever! You can convince them that they must follow me in the future! As for when Miss Fan will go back, it depends on the attitude of shopkeeper Fan to cooperate with us in the future!
Come on, it's so late. I guess Housekeeper Fan is also hungry. Don't make it difficult for his people. Give them food. Let them have a rest first! Housekeeper Fan, please rest in peace. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for Housekeeper Fan to meet Miss Fan!"
Fan Xi really can't do anything about Xiao Tianjian. This guy is really too alert. He thought of so many things from his words and overturned his plan completely. This time, he had no capital to talk to Xiao Tianjian anymore, and he had to listen to others.
So he was taken out by the iron head and first went to the captured horse thieves and met them.
"Wang, it seems that I'm implicating your brothers today! I hope the king and brothers will forgive me!" Fan Xi said to the bearded man.
The bearded Wang Chengping also sighed, "It's not your fault. We were not careful enough to let people block the mountain pass, but we didn't find anything in advance! You can't complain about the housekeeper! The lives of us people were saved by Mr. Fan. This life has long been Mr. Fan, but we can't save Miss Fan today because we don't have the ability. What else can we say? If you want to kill, let them go!"
Fan Xi sighed and said, "You don't have to worry about the Wang family. The Xiao family promised not to kill you, but to stay with you and work with him in the future. I think this is the only thing I can do! When I go back this time, I will explain it to our master! You can stay here at ease for the time being!"
"Bah! What's the virtue of his surname Xiao? He actually wants me to work with him? No! I won't do it even if you kill me!"
Wang Chengping quit as soon as he heard it, so he immediately jumped up and quarreled with Fan Xi.
"Alas! That's all! I know that Wang was wronged, but this matter involves the life and death of our Miss Fan, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Just invite the head of the king and all the brothers to bear with it for the face of our shopkeeper! In my opinion, this Xiao family is not an incompetent person, otherwise they would not have seen through our plan. We will catch all the king's family so quickly. Maybe it will be more refreshing for the king to follow them in the future!" Fan Xi persuaded Wang Chengping.
After listening to this, Wang Chengping was stunned for a while. Suddenly, his shoulder collapsed, and he sat down again and sighed, "That's all! Anyway, my Wang Chengping and the lives of these brothers were also saved by the shopkeeper. I, Wang, will never break my promise. Everything is according to your instructions. You can do whatever you want! But I said that if his surname is Xiao, it is not worth me and these brothers to work for him, as long as Miss Fan's matter is over, I will leave here one day sooner or later! As for our family, please ask Shopkeeper Fan to take care of them for us!"
Fan Xi nodded and said, "It's so good that it's my Fan Xi who has dragged you down. Please rest assured that your family will be in charge of our Fan family in the future, and we will never let them be wronged at all! ......”
Not long after, Wang Chengping was brought to Xiao Tianjian by the iron head. Xiao Tianjian laughed and personally came forward to untie Wang Chengping's rope. He smiled and said, "Brother Wang is wronged! You are really brave. Unexpectedly, you can sneak into the territory of my Xing Tianjun without knowing it. This ability is enough for me to admire Xiao! In the future, I will rely on Brother Wang more!"
Wang Chengping looked at the Xiao master and was a little surprised after watching it. Xiao Tianjian's height made him feel depressed, and his temperament also made Wang Chengping quite convinced, but he was not willing to be soft easily. After moving his wrist, he carelessly found a chair and sat down and said to Xiao Tianjian. "Don't give me this! I fell into your hand today, just admit defeat! Moreover, my life, Wang Chengping, was saved by the shopkeeper of Fan. The Fan family would do whatever they asked me to do. Since they said that they asked me to stay and work with you, then I will stay!
But my Wang also said that if you are not worth working for you, sooner or later, I will still leave! You can't keep me at that time!"
Xiao Tianjian looked at the careless Wang Chengping and laughed: "Good man! Brother Wang is really a good man who will do what he says! I admire Xiao! According to your words, if Brother Wang thinks that my Xiao is not worthy of your service in the future, he can leave at that time! However, I, Xiao, also believe that as long as the Wang brothers stay, they will not easily talk about leaving in the future! Since we are all brothers, let's have a drink! I want to have a good drink with Brother Wang!"
Sitting at the table, Xiao Tianjian took his main generals and Wang Chengping to change the cup. Although Wang Chengping was reluctant, he could not turn against him, so he had to drink with Xiao Tianjian and others.
After drinking this wine, Wang Chengping and Xiao Tianjian became familiar with each other. At the banquet, Xiao Tianjian said many of his thoughts, his comments on the current world, and his hatred for the current court officials, but he had a good appetite for Wang Chengping.
So Wang Chengping also told his experience at the banquet. It turned out that he was originally an officer in the Datong town army, but his personality was not suitable. He didn't like those officers, so he often clashed with the peak. The experience was quite similar to that of Yan Chongxi in those years, so one day he was defeated by Shangfeng because of food and salary. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I led my subordinates to make trouble. As a result, they were surrounded by the officials and wanted to slaughter them.
However, Wang Chengping was not easy to provoke. He fought well with his soldiers and actually broke into an ambush. Since then, he began to be a horse bandit in the area of the border town, specializing in fighting against the government, and often attacked Mongolian tribes, relying on robbery and horse trafficking.
Later, in the first two years, he was accidentally arrested by the government. He thought his head must be unpreserving, but he met a nobleman. When Fan Yaoshan heard that Wang Chengping was a figure, he spent a lot of money and bought Wang Chengping's life. Wang Chengping was grateful to Fan Yaoshan, so he promised to follow Fan in the future. Yaoshan works.
Fan Yaoshan is a businessman. He often has trade with the Mongols. Wang Chengping took his men to secretly protect Fan Yaoshan's caravan, but also secretly listen to Fan Yaoshan's dispatch and attack some of Fan Yaoshan's commercial enemy caravans, so that Fan Yaoshan controls a lot of lives with Mongolians. I mean.
However, Fan Yaoshan has a good one, that is, he does not forget his capital, and rarely trades with Houjin Tare. In recent years, he has suffered a lot of losses in business, and Wang Chengping also respected Fan Yaoshan, so he sold his life to Fan Yaoshan.
This time, Fan Yutong was robbed by Xing Tianjun. Fan Yaoshan immediately transferred Wang Chengping from the border town to the area of Wenxi County to track down who was bound by Fan Yutong. During this period, Wang Chengping and his men have been investigating Fan Yutong's whereabouts. At first, they thought it was just a pole in Wenxi County or Xiezhou. What they did, but after investigation, there was no news about Fan Yutong. Later, they also began to notice Xing Tianjun, but they could not believe that it was done by Xing Tianjun's people. When they were about to visit this area, they received a message from Fan Yaoshan, saying that they asked them to follow Fan Xi and his party here and wait for the opportunity to take Fan Yutong. Get out.
So Wang Chengping took people to decorate Fan Xi and others, quietly sneaked into the boundary of Yangcheng, and pretended to be a horse dealer and slipped outside the lotus village and hid in the mountain pass. As a result, he didn't think that their plan had not been implemented, so he was caught by Xiao Tianjian first. Fortunately, it didn't happen to the two sides. There will be a fierce conflict, otherwise the beam will be big this time.
After listening to Wang Chengping's experience, Xiao Tianjian and others also sighed. They have a good impression on Wang Chengping. At least, Wang Chengping is a very faithful person. He must do what he says. He is by no means the kind of person who sees the wind. Therefore, the first impression is that everyone has a good impression of Wang Chengping and respects Wang Chengping one after another. Wine.
Wang Chengping also refused to come. After a drink, the relationship with the crowd was much closer. He was not so resistant to being forced to work for Xiao Tianjian this time.
