The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 46

After this battle, the Shatong Tianma bandit gang in Shazhou was wiped out.But the weasel and fire fox that Lin Yifan wanted to kill the most still escaped, but now the Hengshan cavalry had exhausted their strength, and it was impossible to move forward again without a few days of rest.And the horse bandit group that was eliminated this time, there are still countless thieves waiting to be dealt with, and even the robbery rights within the five hundred miles east of the corridor have to make arrangements.

In this battle, the Hengshan cavalry suffered nearly 50 casualties and nearly 40% of their losses.Annihilated more than [-] horse thieves, captured more than [-] people, and the rest were scattered and disappeared. A total of more than [-] horses were captured.Such a result made Lin Yifan both happy and heartbroken. The cavalry training was not easy. In several battles, more than [-] knights had fallen on the battlefield.

Jin Jiuyuan greedily patted the war horses gathered around him, his whole body trembling with fat.When he came to Lin Yifan, he completely forgot that he was just a prisoner, his eyes shone with the brilliance of a businessman when he faced a big deal, and he begged: "My lord, these horses are too many for your current team, I am afraid that with your financial resources It is difficult to afford so many horses with material resources. I took a look and found that these horses are of good pedigree and are authentic horses from the Western Regions. If Your Majesty is willing to trust me, I am willing to buy one for 20 taels, how about it?"

Lin Yifan glanced at Jin Jiuyuan and ignored him.Jin Jiuyuan was in a hurry, and quickly stretched out three fingers, "For your sake, I'm adding a little more, 30 taels a horse, no more."

"I don't know how to sell this horse, so you don't have to think about it." Lin Yifan saw that he was still chattering here, so he said directly, "Let me tell you, I don't think there are enough horses for more than 700 horses."

"Oh! That's such a pity, what a horse." Jin Jiuyuan wailed, looking at the horses not far away, and said regretfully.

"Okay, don't just focus on the horses, we are going to raid Sha Tongtian's lair, there must be a lot of stolen goods. We are old acquaintances now, how about it, are you interested in going to see it?" Lin Yifan Patting Jin Jiuyuan on the shoulder, he said seductively.Since there is a ready-made merchant here, he can be used as a helper in counting the stolen goods, and by the way, see if he can find a sales channel for the stolen goods.

"Stolen goods? Ah! Yes, I'm interested. Let's go, let's go now." Jin Jiuyuan immediately forgot about the horses, and his mind was full of the treasure room full of gold and silver treasures.

Only then did Lin Yifan nodded in satisfaction, and led the whole army to rush towards Sha Tongtian's lair.

Sha Tongtian's lair is located in a forest near the promenade in Beishan County, not too far from Lin Yifan and others.With the leadership of the captives, the crowd soon came to a mountain stronghold.At this time, the village was in chaos, and Sha Tongtian's body was carried out and placed in front of the gate of the village without a leader. The thieves in the village panicked and didn't know what to do.Lin Yifan didn't want to fight any more, so he informed the people in the village to surrender, promising not to hurt anyone.

Under the threat of hundreds of cavalry, the village with only two hundred people had to open the door and ask for surrender.Lin Yifan immediately led the crowd into the cottage and controlled everyone.After everything was under control, Jin Jiuyuan couldn't wait to urge Lin Yifan to open the treasure room to have a look. Therefore, when everyone opened the door to take a look, they were immediately stunned by the brilliance of the room.Jin Jiuyuan howled even more, threw himself on the box full of gold and silver treasures and rolled over.Lin Yifan swallowed hard, the treasures here are more than what he seized from the bandits on Hengshan, Sha Tongtian is too rich, right?
"My lord, we have to quickly count these treasures, and then move them away immediately. We only have more than 400 people now, and when the news of Sha Tongtian's death spreads, I'm afraid there will be many sand thieves who want to divide up the treasures here." Luo Yi looked Looking at the treasure room, he said with some concern.

"There are too many treasures here, just us, I'm afraid we won't be able to move too many away." Lin Yifan's eyes showed a trace of determination, "These treasures are too important to us, we must not give them up."

"However, this is Shazhou, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time, not to mention we have to chase weasels, there is no time to waste time here."

"This is really a problem. Oh, if I knew it earlier, I would have brought more people here." Lin Yifan patted his head in frustration, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"By the way, we are no longer officers and soldiers, but horse thieves. In this case, why don't we occupy here, replace Sha Tongtian, and become the horse thief king five hundred miles east of this corridor? In this way, we don't have to Instead, we can use this place as our stronghold to transfer the treasure, and develop Hengshan's trade to the long corridor and ancient road." Lin Yifan slapped his head again, his eyes brightened.

"My lord, it's good, but we have more than 400 people now, and the other horse thieves won't recognize us." Luo Yi smiled wryly.

"What are you afraid of, no one can go to Hengshan to transfer, no, this place is at least two hundred miles away from Hengshan, the movement caused by the brigade is too great. Well, if this is the case, why don't we recruit troops here? For example, here A batch of prisoners can be won over.”

"These captives are unruly, I'm afraid they won't be easy to control." Luo Yi wondered.

"Take them as a separate team and let them be the vanguard in normal battles. We don't ask them to defeat the enemy. As long as they can disrupt the enemy's formation, our cavalry can win the battle. It is still somewhat useful." Lin Yifan suggested.

"My lord's words are reasonable, this subordinate will do it now." Luo Yi thought for a while before nodding his head.

"Wait a minute, let Luo Feng lead the scout Qingqi back to Hengshan with 200 horses, and call [-] people over. We are cavalry, we can't garrison here, we can only rely on our people." Lin Yifan thought for a while, Quickly called Luo Yi to stop, and instructed.

After Jin Jiuyuan's unremitting efforts, on the second morning, he finally handed the bill to Lin Yifan with a pair of panda eyes and yawning, "Here, this is the result of my one-night counting. Now, I just hope that the king will give me the right to sell this treasure for the sake of the villain's dedication to the king. I promise to sell it for a good price for the king."

Lin Yifan took the bill and said with a smile, "I'll talk about it later, you're tired, go and rest. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly anyway."

After Jin Jiuyuan left, Lin Yifan carefully read the bill. The items listed on it were skimmed through, and finally it was the result. The stolen goods copied this time were far more than he estimated. After Jin Jiuyuan's own valuation, Sha Tongtian accumulated over the years His wealth is staggering, with a total of more than 2000 taels of gold and 35 taels of silver.There are countless rare treasures, worth no less than 50 taels.As for some looted goods that have not yet been sold, they are piled up in several rooms, and some of the unique goods in the Western Regions are even more valuable, conservatively estimated to be worth 10 taels.

Lin Yifan's hands trembled a little. This time he really got mad. He never imagined that the horse thieves on the long corridor and ancient road were so fat. If only one Sha Tongtian was killed, the wealth of Hengshan would not be less than that of the whole Hengshan. ?I'm afraid it's just too much.If you can control the entire promenade and ancient road, the benefits will be huge, just thinking about it is scary. "Weasel, even if I don't kill you for revenge, I will kill you just to get your wealth."

Called Jin Jiuyuan, looked at him, and said sternly, "If I hand over the sales rights of the stolen goods to you, how much can you swallow? How will you and I share? And how should I trust you?"

Seeing Lin Yifan's serious face, Jin Jiuyuan didn't dare to smile at the moment, and immediately put on a business face, "If the king is willing to hand over the sales rights to me, no matter how much you steal, we can swallow it. It must be that the king treats us with money. I don’t know much about them yet. Our Jin family is not only second to none in the empire, but even in the Western Regions, it is also a well-known merchant. As for the share, according to the general practice, it is four or six. Hongtu, in order to make you this friend, I am willing to pay three to seven, and I will give you seven, how about it?"

"I accept this, so the last question, can I trust you?"

"Trust needs a long-term relationship to build up. I can't prove whether I'm trustworthy." Jin Jiuyuan shrugged helplessly, "However, if the king doesn't dislike it, I can follow you and do things for you, and I will be responsible for you Stealing stolen goods. This way, I can be a hostage while also building trust by your side, how do you like it?"

"This?" Lin Yifan hesitated, after all, he still had some secrets to hide, how could there be someone he couldn't trust by his side.However, what Jin Jiuyuan did was not only bold, but also sincere. "Okay, you stay here temporarily. I believe that we will dispatch again in the near future to completely wipe out the weasels."
