Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

There was a small stool in the room. Qiao Lianer moved the stool over and sat down in front of the two of them.

She played with the dagger in her hand: "It's really sharp. This cut will definitely cut my throat."

The sun outside was scorching, and the short knife reflected the sunlight, adding a bit of chill, which kept sweeping across the two men's faces, making them shiver all over.

Under normal circumstances, they would not take such a big girl seriously, but now a three-year-old child can kill them.

They tried to struggle, trying to break free from the rope with their own brute force, but they found that the knot on the rope became tighter the more they struggled, making them feel uneasy and they dared not move anymore.

"Little girl, what's going on? Why did you tie us up for no reason? You are so young, you don't want to kill people and rob them, do you?" After being shocked, Yang Laoer was filled with anger and ashamed.

If it fell into the hands of a little girl, she would be laughed at by her peers if anyone told others about it.

Then he thought, "Oh, I see. You think you're losing money selling the water to us for five taels of silver. If you want to raise the price, just say so. Why go to such lengths?"

"Let my two brothers go, and I'll give you ten taels."

Although he said this, Yang Laoer was actually thinking that as soon as he let go, he would subdue this girl and throw her into the well to become a female ghost.

How could Qiao Jianer not see through his evil intentions? She pretended not to hear anything, holding the dagger in her hand.

In ancient times, the use of iron tools was strictly controlled. All the iron pots and machetes in the house had to be registered. Moreover, they were worn out and had cracks. Even if you had silver, it was difficult to replace them with new ones.

The dagger in my hand is brand new and smooth, light and sharp. The handle and scabbard are engraved with flying eagles and waves, which is very beautiful.

Boss Yang was lost in thought. He looked at Qiao Jian'er with cold eyes and asked, "Are you in the same group with them?"

But he felt strange. Those people took advantage of their lack of vigilance against this little girl and knocked them down. Now this little girl shouldn't appear in front of them.

From what they said before and after, Qiao Jianer knew what he meant.

They felt that the group was plotting against them.

"Then tell me first, why are you following me? Are you planning anything bad?"

The two brothers looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

Was it because of this incident that the little girl tied them up?

Boss Yang said bluntly, "I wanted to discuss something with you, but I never thought you would drug my brother and me."

"I don't believe it. You just think I heard something just now and want to kill me to silence me." Qiao Jianer shook his head.

"Well, girl, it doesn't matter even if you heard it. When we come to discuss with you, we have to tell you the whole story." Boss Yang shook his head.

It seems this is a misunderstanding.

Besides, those people would not choose such a skinny little girl as their accomplice.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Qiao Jian'er said, "Tell me about it."

"We're from Yuezhou, three hundred miles away from Yongguan County. We're the chief and second chief of Ningwei Escort Agency, the largest escort agency in Yuezhou. This time, we were delivering a shipment of goods to the border, but we were ambushed in the mountains and wilderness twenty miles outside of Yongguan County. Several of our brothers were tragically killed. My second brother and I raced back in our carriage and took refuge in Yongguan County."

"Those people were relentless and searched everywhere for us. We've been hiding for five or six days."

Boss Yang sighed miserably, "If this batch of goods cannot be delivered safely to the border, we will not be able to explain to our boss and the company when we return, and we will have to pay compensation for the huge losses."

"Is this batch of goods legal and compliant?" asked Qiao Jianer.

Yang Lao Er said, "Of course, goods shipped to the border must go through several inspections and complete the formalities before they can depart."

Daze and Dayun are adjacent to each other. They have opened trade with each other for a long time and have always maintained friendly exchanges, which has promoted the economic prosperity of the two countries. Moreover, there are only ordinary outposts on the border and no troops are stationed on either side.

The Dayun Kingdom is rich in spices and jewelry, while the Daze Kingdom is rich in silk, porcelain, etc. These are items that both countries need but lack in their own countries. Therefore, it is very common for escort teams to transport supplies between the two countries.

Qiao Jianer: "So, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"We've noticed your family is as strong as an ox. If they receive some martial arts training, they can accompany us on the rest of the journey. From here to the border, there's only a hundred miles left. Your family isn't a formal escort, so the price should be lower, but that stretch of the journey is fraught with danger. If they can deliver the goods safely, we'll settle the payment at the normal price."

Qiao Jianer's mind lit up. This is the advantage of being as strong as an ox. Isn't good things coming to you?

"Then can I see the escort certificates you have?"

"Sure, it's in my sleeve." Boss Yang said happily.

Qiao Jianer took it out and found that it was indeed the chief escort certified by the government.

"Little girl, how many people are there in your family? Are they all as strong as an ox? The more people there are, the safer it is." Yang Laoer said.

"Yes, my family is strong. It's hereditary. I have three uncles. The man you see is my third uncle. My eldest uncle and second uncle each have a son and a daughter. I have seven people in my family who can go out as escorts. If there are not enough men, we can add women."

Boss Yang thought for a moment and said, "Seven people are enough. The women don't have to go. If they fall into the hands of the enemy, the men will be in a better situation after all."

What he said was already tactful enough. Qiao Jian'er thought about it and realized that this made sense. Although she did not think that women were weaker than men, in this era, when women went to the mountains, they were just a piece of fat meat in the eyes of those thieves. This situation was unavoidable even in the world she came from. Even if they did not deliberately appear in such places, many girls were abducted and sold to the mountains. It was better to be cautious.

"Also, the price and how often you'll be passing through here, all of this needs to be made clear."

Boss Yang said, "The price of escorting is calculated based on a certain percentage of the value of the goods being escorted, usually 10%. For example, if a shipment is worth 10,000 taels of silver, we can earn 100 taels for escorting it. Of course, it also depends on the distance of the shipment. There's no increase within 300 miles, but for every 100 miles beyond that, there's an increase of 0.2%, or 20 taels. Also, our Ningwei Escort Agency has the greatest reputation, so we charge more than other escort agencies."

For example, some escort agencies would accept a deal worth 10,000 taels for 50 taels.

"Of this one hundred taels of silver, those of us who are escorting the goods will share 70% with the boss, and then the money will be distributed equally to each of the brothers. Of course, the second-in-command and I will get a little more."

"We have seven here?"

"That's right." Boss Yang smiled and said, "After all, we are escorting the convoy with our lives."
