Chapter 42?? Surprised

The two bags of barley noodles did not attract the attention of the city gate soldiers. The soldiers just took a look and waved their hands to let go.

The carriages outside the city were waiting by the official road. Pei Changhao, Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui were still riding in a carriage, and they were still pulling carriages with double horses, which was faster.

On the carriage, Pei Changhao and Luo Wenhua both looked relaxed, while Su Chungui looked alert, and he turned his ears from time to time to listen to the movements outside.

Pei Changhao originally planned to go to the military camp outside the city to take a look, but he finally gave up this dangerous move. The military camp must be very vigilant. If a soldier finds that he is peeping in the distance, the ending will definitely be bad.

In less than an hour, the carriage arrived at its destination.

Su Chunhua was waiting at the intersection, and this was an agreed time period.

When carrying a bag of barley noodles, Su Chunhua's face was colorful. Didn't he talk about going to Zhoucheng to dig money? Why did he bring back two bags of barley noodles?

The iron box was placed on the table and two bags of barley noodles were taken out. Su Chunhua would naturally trade with the inn shopkeeper. In the past few days, food was still valuable.

Meng Daiping entered the room.

"Meng Daiping, these are the two iron boxes left by your parents. Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui dug out from under the locust tree. I went to your residence and shop to check it out. The governor of your residence and the governor rewarded the Yajiang's concubine. The Yajun's concubine lived in it. The Yajun forced her to sell your shop. However, she is still free. Many people know what your family has experienced. It seems that your parents are low-key, but they don't know why, they are targeted by Yajun."

Meng Daiping's body trembled slightly, looking at the two iron boxes on the table.

"Langjun, these two iron boxes are left to you for disposal, and I don't need them..."

Pei Changhao sighed slightly.

"Meng Daiping, no matter what you think, I regard you as a little brother. In fact, our experiences are quite similar. The only difference is that I have not seen my parents and family be killed with my own eyes. These two iron boxes are left to you by your parents, and naturally belong to you. What should I do is also your business. I think your parents will definitely leave you the most precious things. Okay, move the iron box to your room and open it and take a look."

Meng Daiping widened his eyes.

"Langjun, you, haven't you opened the iron box?"

Pei Changhao frowned and looked at Meng Daiping and spoke.

"Meng Daiping, what are you saying? This is the item your parents left to you. What qualifications do I have to open it?"

Meng Daiping held one of the iron boxes and left the room, Pei Changhao spoke again.

"Meng Daiping, I believe your parents hope that you will live a peaceful life and live a good life. If you are willing to follow your parents' wishes, I will not interfere. Your parents will definitely leave you enough money. If you can find a place to live, you must tell me that we will send you to your destination and follow me. There are many dangers and may not be able to live a peaceful life."

Meng Daiping nodded vigorously, without turning around, and left with the iron box in his arms.

Su Chungui helped to carry another iron box over.

In the room, Luo Wenhua, Su Chunhua, Qin Feng and others were packing their things. After Meng Daiping made the decision, they immediately started to rush.

Qin Feng quickly finished packing up and came to Pei Changhao's room.

"Brother Qin, have everything been packed?"

Qin Feng nodded, pondered for a moment, and looked at Pei Changhao and spoke.

"Brother Pei, Meng Daiping is your entourage. You have worked hard to get the money left by his parents back and gave it to Meng Daiping like this? I think these things should belong to you..."

Pei Changhao smiled, but did not strongly refute Qin Feng. After all, the understanding of each era is different. In the eyes of Qin Feng and others, Meng Daiping is his slave to Pei Changhao. Everything belongs to him Pei Changhao, but Pei Changhao does not think so. Of course, you cannot force others to have the same cognition as yours. Pei Changhao, who travels through time, still needs time to adapt to everything.

"Brother Qin, I don't see this way. No matter what Meng Daiping is, I can't move what belongs to him, let alone what his parents left behind. Meng Daiping is still young in the grade and suddenly encounters a big disaster. He is at a loss and needs time to recover. I let him follow him, and I also want to help him get out."

"I just told Meng Daiping that if he could find a place to go, or if his parents had planned his future life for him, I would never stop him. If possible, I would send him to his destination."

"Brother Qin, you don't have to look at me like this. I am not a savior, but I have principles and sensible things to do. What can be done and what can't be done? I have a scale in my heart."

Qin Feng widened his eyes and a sentence came out after a while.

"Brother Pei, do you think of my Qin family this way?"

Pei Changhao looked at Qin Feng and spoke slowly.

"Brother Qin, my attitude is very clear in front of you and Mr. Wuhui. A gentleman's words and a quick horse will not change. But there is one thing you must remember, if I regard you as a brother, it doesn't matter if you look down on me. We go our separate ways and do not interfere with each other. But if I use my trust, use that brotherly relationship, and deal with me in turn, I will never be polite."

"As it, I regard you as a brother, and I am willing to do what I do for you. I may ask you to repay you. If you don't want it, I may feel uncomfortable, but I will never force you. But from now on, you and me will be passers-by."

"The princes and nobles can become my brothers, and the peddlers can become my brothers."

"Brothers are united, and the key is to cut off gold. This is the key..."

Pei Changhao pointed to his heart.

Qin Feng looked at Pei Changhao, but did not continue to speak. He suddenly clasped his fists and saluted, and turned around and left.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Daiping came to Pei Changhao's room with two iron boxes in his arms.

Meng Daiping's eyes were slightly red and his expression was a little solemn, which was obviously inconsistent with his age.

"Mr. Lang, these are all the items left to me by my parents, a night pearl, two hundred gold leaves, ten gold ingots, a contract, and the letter my father wrote to me, I left it..."

Pei Changhao was a little dazed. Two hundred gold leaves were equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver. As for the Night Pearl, it was priced but not a market. One Night Pearl was worth at least 50,000 taels of silver. This was a very huge fortune. Ordinary families could not afford so much money. He originally thought that Meng Daiping's parents were low-key and earned some money in business, but it was not possible that they were too much. They might not pay attention when they spoke, and revealed something, and were targeted by Ya Jun.

Now it seems that Ya Jun may have mastered some situations, so he took action.

After reacting, Pei Changhao looked at Meng Daiping and spoke calmly.

"Meng Daiping, all this money belongs to you. You probably have something to say, don't worry, just say it directly."

Meng Daiping nodded.

"Mr. I didn't say something. Actually, I'm not from Lingzhou, I'm from Anyi. My parents used to do business in Anyi County, and our home is also in Anyi County..."

A trace of light flashed in Pei Changhao's mind, and he vaguely understood something.

"My father turned out to be doing business in Anyi County. I only know that Yanchi in Anyi County has some relationship with my father. Later, the Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong set his sights on Yanchi. My father felt that it was dangerous and did not plan to continue the Yanchi business. Last year, my father took us to Lingzhou and started the grain business. This contract is from Yanchi in Anyi County..."

The salt merchants of the Tang Dynasty were rich enough to rival the country. Of course, it was not easy to become salt merchants. Most people could not do it. Meng Daiping's ancestors should have an extraordinary relationship with the powerful and powerful people in the court.

Salt tax is an important source of income for the court's taxes. The salt ponds are all state-owned, but operating the salt pond requires merchants, so the court will hand over the salt pond to merchants for management and require merchants to pay full taxes every year. This leads to the close connection between the salt merchants and the government. Merchants who can operate can obtain enough money from the process of managing the salt pond.

The Jiedushi was dictatorial to the late Tang Dynasty, and all the tax revenues in Yanchi belonged to the Jiedushi, and the court could not get involved.

Since Meng Daiping's father had run the Yanchi business, it was normal for him to encounter the attention of all parties.

After Meng Daiping finished speaking, Pei Changhao pondered for a moment.

"Meng Daiping, your parents came to Lingzhou from Anyi County. They originally wanted to avoid disasters. Maybe someone leaked the news specifically, so your family was targeted by the Yajun, which led to such a tragic disaster. Forget it, this is all fate."

"Although money is something outside of your body, it is absolutely impossible to have money without money. Therefore, many people in the world are working hard for money. You must understand this."

"I guess your parents have found a place for you. If you want to live a peaceful life, I will help you and will not ask about your place. You just bring so much money along the way, so be sure to be very careful."

Meng Daiping waved his hands at Pei Changhao repeatedly.

"Mr. I won't leave, follow you. All the money, I will give you..."

When Pei Changhao was about to speak again, he saw Meng Daiping's decisive eyes.

...

After Meng Daiping left, Pei Changhao did not immediately pack up the iron box on the table.

After only two months of traveling, Pei Changhao met many things. He wiped out bandits, killed black merchants in the county market, met Luo Wenhua, got the bloody horses, and received the strong support of Luo Wenhua. He destroyed a black shop and saved ten men and ten horses from the Qin family, allowing Qin Feng to follow him. When he was in Wenchi County, Meng Daiping became a follower by chance. Unexpectedly, Meng Daiping was actually the son of a salt merchant.

These things, in the eyes of those governors, were all insignificant things, but for Pei Changhao, the meaning was extraordinary, the accumulation of small amounts became more, the sand formed a tower, and the strength always gathered bit by bit.
