In the middle of the night, there are still not many houses with lights on in the city of Stanlow, especially in the slums in the south of the city, which will be completely darkened at night, while in other areas, you can occasionally see a little spark.Ordinary people usually have kerosene lamps for walking at night, and candles are a lighting prop that only the more wealthy in the city can afford.And because there are few entertainment activities at night in Stanlow City, and everyone has the habit of going to bed early, it is rare to see people walking outside at night.But tonight there was an extraordinary, and I saw two carriages rolling slowly towards the city gate, the front one carrying people, and the one behind carrying goods."
Who" was guarded by a night watchman at the gate of the city, and when he saw the carriage coming, he surrounded him with a torch."
Knights, our Naibao Chamber of Commerce, this time we are in a hurry to go out of the city to deliver goods" I saw a middle-aged rich man jump down from the carriage, blocking the night watchman who was about to surround and hurriedly said affectionately, and took out a cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the person led by the night watchman."
It turned out to be the boss of Naibao, brothers, this is the owner of the Naibao grocery store in the city, my acquaintance."
The man weighed the cloth bag in his hand and immediately smiled."
Exactly, exactly" The middle-aged rich man also nodded hurriedly when he saw this."
Release" one person waved at the people on the city wall.The huge wooden gate made of alpine red pine, covered with iron leaves, and chiseled with large copper nails, was slowly opening, and the night watchmen who had been surrounding them were making way for the caravan to pass."
Wait," suddenly came a cry from behind the caravan.A fast horse came out of the way, and it was none other than Gna, one of Mick's lieutenants."
Captain Mick has an order, stop all movements, and close the city gates" Suddenly the night watchman was in a commotion, and the person who was the leader just now suddenly turned pale, especially after seeing Gna glaring at him.As soon as the words fell, several fast horses appeared behind the carriage, and then slowly appeared in front of everyone under the light of the fire.It was none other than Mick and his party."
I said, anyone who goes out of the city gate in this short period of time will be strictly searched, how dare you be so negligent" After speaking, he stepped forward immediately, and directly whipped the leader of the night watchman, and suddenly the thick cotton jacket cracked, and brought out countless cotton wool against the horsewhip, and then I saw the raised horsewhip splashing a little blood stain.As soon as he lifted the reins, Mick turned the horse around his crotch and looked up and down at the two carriages."
Boss Naibao, why are you in such a hurry to go out of the city?"
"The other party is in a hurry to receive the goods, so I chose to go out at this time on this cold day."
It's not easy for us to be the head of the Mike, and recently the lords have been advocating the development of commerce, presumably the head of the Mike group should not be able to stop it" "Commerce is business, but whether it is related to business in your carriage is not necessarily.What if it's human trafficking," Mick said."
Don't make such a joke, adults," the middle-aged rich man looked serious."
I'm not joking, how can Boss Naibao not know that since Boss Naibao said that I was joking, it is better to let us search these two carriages to find out if it is not, isn't it the best and fastest way to prove Boss Naibao's innocence.If I'm really wrong to blame Boss Naibao, I will definitely come to the door and apologize in person" Mike's words were also extremely firm, not like a joke."
My boss is here in this carriage, he doesn't want to show his true face, Captain Mick shouldn't be strong" "Lord Lord ordered me to search everywhere and find out the behind-the-scenes promoters in the central square today, it's not easy for me, so Boss Naibao shouldn't be strong."
Besides, even if I see the true face of this boss, I will definitely not leak it to the outside world" "You" Boss Naibao was angry, and it seemed that he was really angry at Mike's unreasonableness.But in an instant, I didn't know what the man heard, his face changed and he smiled, "Okay, our boss also said, I don't ask Your Excellency to come to the door to apologize, but you must not leak the boss lineup" "That's right" Mick laughed, "A few of you go and search the goods in the carriage behind."
After speaking, he didn't care about the mood of the boss of Naibao at this time, and rode directly towards the carriage in front of him."
Why is Captain Mick so embarrassed by a merchant?"
and his familiar voice came from behind the curtain of the carriage, and Mick thought of a man.The curtain was lifted, and it was the Duncan priest.But Mick smelled blood, very light, but it was very familiar to him, especially when he saw blood all over the floor in the central square today.Mick jumped off his horse and slammed into the carriage, startling the groom, and Duncan frowned slightly.Regardless of Duncan's reaction, Mick lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.This move made Duncan, Boss Nanaibao and others unaware of it, and by the time a few people reacted, Mick had already forced himself into the carriage.The smell of blood was stronger, and it was quite a spacious place, but Duncan was sitting at the front at this time.There was a charcoal fire inside the carriage, which was burning vigorously, dissipating all the cold air in the carriage."
It's too cold outside the carriage, and when I see such a charcoal fire inside, I can't help but want to come in, Priest Duncan, I'm sorry" Although Mick said apologetically, he didn't behave in his demeanor.As soon as he entered the carriage, Mick stared at the empty space of the carriage behind Duncan.Duncan seemed a little uncomfortable with the extra person in the carriage, so he moved his position, but it just blocked Mick's view.Mick looked down and looked at Duncan instead."
This carriage is really luxurious, I didn't expect that Officer Duncan is still the behind-the-scenes boss of Naibao, and I hope that Officer Duncan can take care of it more in the future" "What happened to Captain Mike in my carriage, I don't know what happened now" Mike looked at the vacancy in the carriage behind Duncan a few more times and said, "There is indeed only Officer Duncan alone in this carriage" "But" Mike stared at Duncan's eyes and said, "Officer Duncan may need to change the carriage, this carriage seems to be a little unclean, I don't know if it's a red thing or something else" "Since Captain Mick didn't find what he was looking for, please go back" Duncan didn't make any superfluous movements because of Mick's words, he just wanted to ask Mick to leave."
Since Priest Duncan doesn't welcome me so much, it looks like there should be something urgent and inconvenient to rush, so I won't bother" With that, Mick turned to leave.，，； mobile phone reading,
