Chapter 261: Luring the Wolf into the House (1)
Cui Sheng stood in a col only a dozen miles away from Tianchang Town, looking around at the snow that had not yet melted, just like wearing a white hat, the snow that melted in advance gathered into a stream that flowed slowly from the mountainside, and finally converged together, flowing to a distant place where I don't know.
I also came to Tianchang Town like these snow waters, at first it was only one or two households, and slowly became more than a dozen households, and now there are almost 100 households, nearly five or six hundred people, every day there are three three two two people entering here, and there are also people who are quietly taken away, Cui Sheng is very curious to know where the people who left go.
Cui Sheng knew that if there was anything abnormal in his words, those with weapons in his hands would isolate themselves, and then carefully check them, and warn those who are talkative, such things happen every day, and he has stayed in the col for three days, and today is the day to leave.
Three months ago, Cui Sheng suddenly received a letter, the person who wrote the letter turned out to be a fugitive from his own clan, and the people in the clan thought that the person had died while fleeing, but he didn't expect to write a letter to himself.
The letter is very simple, the original runaway is now very good, thinking of Cui Sheng, who got along well with him at the beginning, and honestly thinks that a good life should be shared with good friends!
Cui Sheng is half a scholar, because the family has no money to support his own study, usually can only help the people around him write and paint to make a living, life is tight, in his twenties so far, no matchmaker is willing to marry a woman to himself, seeing that this life is going on like this, at this time he received a letter that changed his fate.
Datang is not a big deal, because of natural disasters far from home, because of debts have to avoid creditors, or because of a deep grudge with others incognito and so on.
If it weren't for receiving this letter, Cui Sheng almost forgot about this fellow clan, and he really couldn't think of why the other party wrote a letter to him, didn't he understand that the fugitive was caught and wanted to be confiscated?
When he opened the letter, Cui Sheng couldn't believe his eyes at all, and the letter promised that if he was willing to come over and live together, his life would definitely be better than now.
Cui Sheng didn't think about the authenticity of the letter, but there was no doubt about the other party's character, what he suspected was that there was such a good place in the world, which made Cui Sheng a little tempted, anyway, his two younger sisters were already married, and none of them were worried about being deceived.
Of course, Cui Sheng still has a world that people don't know about his identity: a secret spy spy, if there is really such a good place as the same clan said, he should know it, this kind of thing must be very interesting, Cui Sheng thought about it for a long time, or decided to go and take a look in person!
The people who came into contact with Cui Sheng were very cautious, they couldn't find out a little bit of wind at all, and they suspected that they didn't know the insiders at all, the more Cui Sheng's curiosity became, and according to the requirements of the letter, he came all the way from Xingzhou with the people to see what he was doing, if it was really not worthy of the name, it would not be too late to leave!
However, Cui Sheng soon found that his behavior was restricted, and at first Cui Sheng protested, hoping that the other party could tell him his destination, and he didn't want to go to a strange place in such a daze.
But Cui Sheng's protest was ignored at all, and even found that someone was secretly spying on him, which made Cui Sheng feel even more panicked, it was obvious that the other party was not good, the more Cui Sheng dispelled the intention of leaving, and became more and more curious, what kind of place was the place that his clan was talking about.
Cui Sheng is not worried about his own safety, he can be said to be a family with four walls, and the other party's actions obviously have nothing to do with robbery and kidnapping, I really don't understand what secrets are hidden here?
The answer will soon be revealed!
Cui Sheng saw two strong guard-looking people walking in his direction, still holding a wooden card in his hand, checked the information on it and said, "Cui Sheng!" A native of Qingshan, Xingzhou, four out of twenty this year, unmarried, and tall. Weight ***, parents died early, two younger sisters are married, have attended private school, can read and write, and help people do some writing work in the township ......".
I checked my information all the way, and sometimes the other party deliberately said it wrong, but fortunately, I didn't hide this information and successfully passed the other party's verification.
"Bring your salute with me!"
Cui Sheng picked up a big cloth bag and followed behind the two, left the temporary campsite and walked forward for a while, seeing that he was about to walk out of the mountain pass, several black four-wheeled carriages appeared in front of him, and there were more than a dozen people standing next to the carriage, including men and women, old and young, dragging their families with large bags and small bags, no matter how they looked, they looked like they were fleeing the famine.
During this waiting time, Cui Sheng carefully observed that the people around him should be the people of Hebei Province, most of the poor people don't even have luggage, and only less than one percent of them have luggage to go out.
In the unconscious conversation with the people around him, Cui Sheng learned that these people all have a skill, and the other party obviously noticed this when selecting people.
"Put all the luggage on the roof of the car, there is still a long way to go, there will be no stop to rest on the road, you can go out of the car, six people can sit in a car, men and women are separated ......!"
Those guards with weapons in their hands were stuffing people into the carriage, Cui Sheng wanted to say that he was not used to riding in such a carriage, but seeing that those guards didn't listen to other people's complaints at all, they didn't even explain ruthlessly, and directly locked the carriage from the outside, and they had already vaguely guessed something?
Cui Sheng pretended to complain a few times, and those guards didn't even blink an eyelid, and pushed themselves into the carriage, warning the people in the carriage not to make a sound, let alone have any ...... on the next way, of course they would treat those complaints and requests as farts.
The carriage was not dim, there was not a single window to see the outside scenery, a gas lamp hung overhead, and as the carriage started to sway, although the carriage door was closed, Cui Sheng felt more and more that his adventure was very correct, and the more the other party was like this, the more he had an ulterior secret.
However, Cui Sheng is not worried about his current situation, since it is still in the territory of Datang, there is nothing to be afraid of, if he really goes to the Northland, or the wild land, he is afraid that he will have to consider the safety issue.
There were a total of six people sitting in the carriage, three of whom were stout men, and Cui Sheng had spoken, but now he didn't want to talk to these people, and silently calculated the time and route in his heart, and after a short silence, a man on the opposite side finally couldn't help but speak: "Cui Dalang, aren't you worried?" ”
