Chapter 179 Is there any expert to protect me all the way?
"Oh, Yang Biao, you consume 90% of the wine brewed in the capital by yourself, so there have been no major conflicts with local wineries in the past three years," Cao Qiaoyi knew Yang Biao's background too well, and many of his real estate contracts were handled by himself.
"Are you sure you want your friend to enter the wine market in the city?" It only takes Cao Qiaoyi a word to give him some care, but the local wine shops can only operate with the permission of the court and pay taxes. The villagers sell wine in the city, so the government cannot collect taxes.
"Whether they can get a share of the wine market in the city depends on their own abilities. Since they are my childhood friends, I want to protect their safety here." Yang Biao naturally knew what he meant and promised not to interfere in the sale of wine.
"Well, if that's all you ask, I can ask the people from the City Patrol to patrol the streets more often. That won't be a problem." Cao Qiaoyi agreed and ordered his men to implement it.
"Well, those people are all on Ratetu Road now." Seeing him arranging manpower, Yang Biao spoke quickly and took out five hundred thousand taels of silver notes and put them on the table, "To thank everyone for their hard work in patrolling the streets in the future, this is tea for the City Patrol Officer."
"Take the men and ride on horseback to the Rutu Road." If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Didn't Cao Qiaoyi know that the gangsters were doing evil? If he knew, why didn't he arrest them? The gangsters should be grateful for the laws of the Shang Dynasty. Even if they beat the man to paralysis in bed, as long as the man was not dead and still had a breath, it would not be considered a criminal case. It would only be a small matter of being beaten on the buttocks.
"Sir Cao, here are some barbecues. Eat them while they're hot!" When Ji Lang heard Yang Biao say this, he hurriedly put the packaged lamb skewers and other barbecues on Cao Qiaoyi's desk.
"Hmm, it tastes good." Cao Qiaoyi smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but open the package and start eating.
"I will set off for the capital early tomorrow morning. I wonder if Lord Cao has any experts to protect me along the way?" The journey to the capital is long, and for safety reasons, Yang Biao still wants to hire some people to protect him.
"Hey, you're lucky, kid. This time a group of official guards in the official residence have been implicated and demoted to official slaves, but they have to be sold all 38 of them. Are you still interested?" Cao Qiaoyi had a mischievous look in his eyes. Although he knew that he could afford the money, it was unlikely that he would take all of them with so many people.
"How much money should I pay to the government for so many people?" Yang Biao thought that he also wanted to open a shop in the capital, so it would be okay to buy so many people to accommodate them.
"If you want to sell them in a package, then give them the same price as Xiao Kui and the others. You need a good horse to go to the capital, and I have some from confiscated houses. Come on, give them 100,000 taels." The members of the Guan Ge Guard were picked from thousands of military camps. They were famous for their high martial arts skills, but it was hard to find them even with a lantern. So they were sold at a low price of 800 taels of silver each. Cao Qiaoyi stretched out his greasy right hand.
"Okay, help me complete the transfer procedures now." Yang Biao was in a hurry to return to Lutu Road to see Yang Shuiqian and the others, and urged Cao Qiaoyi to hurry up.
"Okay, I'll handle it for you personally." Cao Qiaoyi wanted to find something on the table to wipe his hands, and Yang Biao hurriedly handed him his handkerchief.
Cao Qiaoyi glanced at him, took it, wiped the oil off his hands, took out a large stack of blank documents, and filled in the population and horse information on them.
"Sir Cao, you have a great memory!" He didn't even need to look up the files to fill out the form, and Yang Biao was full of admiration for him.
"It's all stored here." Cao Qiaoyi proudly tapped his temple with his hand. He had been doing the work of household registration management, taxation, etc. in the city.
"Sir Cao will officially become the prefect in two years. I congratulate you on your promotion in advance!" Yang Biao took the documents and congratulated him.
"It's less than two years, there are still twenty-three months left." Seeing that he was eager to return home, Cao Qiaoyi smiled and waved his hand, letting him leave.
"Wow, master, they are all great horses!" Cao Qiaoyi paid the price of war horses. Ji Lang was very happy to follow Yang Biao to the training hall to lead the people and horses.
"Let's go. Let's go to Ruetuo Road first." There were forty-two horses, so Dong Quan had to harness two more horses to the carriage. He took a group of people and horses to the empty Jiucheng Courtyard on the other side of Ruetuo Road. He and Ji Lang both rode on their horses to look for the villagers.
"The city patrol guards are here, run!" Just when Yang Shuiqian and his men were fighting the thugs, Cao Qiaoyi sent troops over.
"Are you all right?" The patrol captain Sha Haining, who was riding a horse, did not chase the fleeing hooligans, but stopped to ask the people lying on the ground. The adults' order was to drive them away, but they were not told to catch anyone.
"I...hiss..." Yang Bowen wanted to say that he was fine, but as soon as he spoke, the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled and he cried out in pain.
"Be careful next time. If anyone causes trouble again, ask the city patrol for help." Lord Cao asked the city patrol to increase patrols, which should be able to effectively deter the hooligans on the street.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder, sir." Yang Shuiqian put the stick in his hand on the ground and clasped his fists to thank Sha Haining.
"Well, I still have to inspect somewhere else. You can go to the clinic on your own." After saying this, Sha Haining left with his men.
"Shui Qian, the security in this city seems to be quite good. Our fight will only take less than a quarter of an hour." Yang Bowen put all the sticks on the donkey cart and came over with his mouth covered.
"Well, didn't you hear that officer say he was going to patrol somewhere else? The city is so big, it must be tiring to manage it. Look, they are patrolling on horseback." Yang Xiaoniu looked at the patrolling officers and soldiers who were riding away on horseback with envy. They looked so majestic.
"Okay, let's clean up quickly." The wine jars and donkey cart that Yang Keyu brought were smashed. Yang Shuiqian ordered everyone to carry Yang Keyu and the other six people onto his carriage.
"Shui Qian, the hooligans scared away one of our donkeys when they were destroying things." The hooligans were numerous and powerful, and they came over and attacked without saying a word. Yang Keyu and his friends were unarmed and completely unprepared, so they were beaten badly.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go and see the wound first." Seeing that Yang Keyu and others felt extremely guilty, Yang Shuiqian didn't say anything to them. Health is more important.
"Hey, Brother Biao!" Yang Xiaoniu saw Yang Biao riding a horse and shouted to him loudly.
"Xiao Niu, why are you here?" Yang Biao pretended to be surprised, pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
"Hey, we have been in the city for almost seventeen days, why haven't we seen you?" Yang Xiaoniu's eyes lit up when he saw the horse he was riding.
"I just came back from Yangjia Village a few days ago, and I have been studying at home. How could you have seen me!" Yang Biao got off the horse, and Ji Lang hurried forward to take the reins from his hand.
"What happened to you?" After all, he was still a step too late. Looking at the bruises on their bodies, Yang Biao felt secretly regretful.
"Oh, I didn't expect there are gangsters in the city." Yang Xiaoniu waved the stick in his hand and beat you to death again.
"No matter where it is, as long as there are people, there are good people and bad people!" Yang Xiaoniu's words made Yang Biao laugh.
"Brother Biao, have you ever sold your wine-making recipe?" Yang Biao's smile was very dazzling, and Yang Shuiqian looked at him gloomily.
