My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 7: Escape for thousands of miles
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
The black car bumped and bumped on the dirt road, but it was driving very fast, and the green gauze tents on both sides were quickly retreating.
Lu Ming, who was sitting in the back seat, opened a slightly worn small suitcase in his hand.
Looking at Mrs. Zhen beside her, she was looking at the scenery outside from the car window. She rarely traveled far, and for the first time, her beautiful eyes had a strange color and a little life.
Lu Ming then turned to the small suitcase and slowly opened it.
Although the small suitcase was worn out, it was filled with stacks of red banknotes.
This is an imperial coin, commonly known as a red ticket. The maximum denomination is one hundred yuan. One pile is 10,000 imperial coins, and there are twenty-six piles in it.
That is 260,000 yuan in imperial coins.
The four major governors in the north have the right to mint coins, and they usually mint silver coins. The most popular currency in the four northern provinces is silver coins.
The official exchange rate is ten imperial coins to one silver dollar.
In other words, there are more than 20,000 silver dollars in this suitcase, which is a huge sum of money.
For example, in Wu'an, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only one or two silver dollars, and they can barely support their families, leaving nothing at all. If they use current wages, they will not be able to save it for hundreds of years.
In addition, there is a small iron box in the corner of the suitcase, which is an heirloom of the Lu family.
This time I escape, I don’t know when I will come back, so of course I have to take it with me.
I have seen the iron box since I first started to remember, and my grandfather solemnly told me not to let my two brothers know about it.
Look now, when I was very young, I was chosen as the successor by my grandfather.
It is said that grandpa just had a dream, so it would be childish to choose himself as his successor, who was completely incompetent.
Close the suitcase and look ahead, the outline of a small town gradually appears.
It is the seat of Linchuan County.
"Master, they will understand sooner or later. How could you harm Mr. Long? Come back when everyone calms down." Jin Baoer, who was driving in front, said.
Lu Ming nodded.
Actually, why did he want to flee because he was afraid of the Double Dragon Society?
Jin Baoer is right. All the problems with the Double Dragon Society can be resolved by spending some time on your own.
The reason why I want to run for my life is because of the mastermind who wants to destroy the entire Lu family.
In particular, the other party probably thought that he was a **** before, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But now, especially when word spreads out, if he wins the lawsuit, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape the next time it kills him.
"Master, if you take all the reserves of the bank, nothing will happen, right?" Jinbao asked worriedly.
Lu Ming nodded: "Uncle Zhong will find a way."
This money is all the reserves of the Lujia Bank, as well as the money of many depositors.
Today in the lounge, I told Lu Zhong to close all businesses, and secretly told Jinbao to go to his bank account to get all the reserves. He also took out the iron box from the safe and wrote a letter of authorization. Let him show it to the security guard. If the other party disagrees, then he will be tough and take it by surprise. Jin Baoer should be able to subdue those guards, and the password to the vault is different from the difficulty of the robber.
There is nothing we can do about it. Time is tight, so we can only do this.
I also left a secret letter to my housekeeper, Lu Zhong, the general assistant manager of my family's estate, asking lawyer Xie Wenquan to hand it over to him tonight.
The letter asked him to shrink his property and sell most of it to offset his reserves, lest this matter turn into him running away with the money.
My own business is no longer viable, so whether I want to monetize it now or not, I just want to keep the two high-quality industries of banks and department stores.
Lu Zhong's brain is that the stall is too big and he really can't take care of it. He can just concentrate on running banks and department stores.
I have no relatives at home.
The eldest brother’s sister-in-law, who was married not long ago, is a new woman. Not long after the eldest brother died, he remarried.
The second brother is not married yet.
So, there is nothing to worry about at home.
However, I will come back sooner or later.
Looking in the direction of Wu An through the car window, Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
It's such a wonderful thing for one's soul to transfer to another world, but he himself has made it so embarrassing.
"Jin Baoer, stop the car! Get out of the car and change clothes." Seeing that the vehicle was about to drive out of the Qingshazhang dirt road and onto the asphalt road, there was no cover.
Jin Baoer immediately braked suddenly, and the black car stopped at the asphalt intersection that was about to drive up.
In the trunk, there were cloths, trousers, wigs, dyes, etc. that Lu Ming asked Jin Baoer to prepare.
Lu Ming took a few pieces and threw them to Zhen in the car, as well as wigs and dyes, "You change in the car, put the wig on, and make your face a little dirty. You have studied singing, so you know how to put on makeup, right?" ? The more ugly you look, the better."
The clothes and pants worn by these farmers stinked. Lu Ming thought that she would at least complain a few words, but who knew that she just hummed and started doing what he said, but she was extremely well-behaved.
After returning to the car, Lu Ming and Jin Baoer changed into cloth clothes and trousers, and put on wigs. In this way, they matched the shabby small suitcase containing the huge sum of money.
"Go to Linji, the largest pawnshop in Linchuan, now and tell them you have a car and sell it to them for 20 silver dollars!"
Jin Baoer was stunned, "Master, is this too cheap? Even if we are in a hurry to get rid of it, it is too..."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Old Lin and Ssangyong will never deal with it. Moreover, because it is cheap and they can make a lot of money, they cannot let anyone find out the origin of the car no matter what. If I sell it to them for 20 silver dollars, they will also He will know how urgently we are running for our lives and how serious the situation is. He will handle it faster and help us deal with the aftermath. ”
Pointing to the vehicle and the suit he had just changed into in the trunk, etc., "They will do their best to help us destroy these, and the vehicle will soon change its appearance, do you understand?"
Jin Baoer's eyes lit up, "Master, you, you are so smart."
"Go ahead." Lu Ming waved his hand.
Looking at Jin Baoer's back, Lu Ming nodded.
In fact, asking Jin Baoer to pay him such a large sum of money was a test for Jin Baoer and his humanity.
Although in the memory fragments, Jin Baoer is extremely loyal.
But after all, he is a person who licks blood at the edge of a knife. Sometimes, many things happen in just a thought.
I never want to test human nature, because sometimes, people's bottom line is so low that you can't even imagine it.
But I had no choice but to gamble. It seemed that I was right.
……
Lao Lin came very quickly and was obviously a smart man.
Pay one hand and deliver the goods, and the two parties concluded the transaction quickly.
Lu Ming and the others were sent to the train station by Lao Lin's carriage.
There is also a train station in Wu'an, but Lu Ming went in the opposite direction to Linchuan County, a hundred miles away.
This is definitely not because he is afraid of the police or the Ssangyong Association, but in the future, the man behind the scenes wants to trace his traces, which makes it difficult for him from the beginning.
I bought a train ticket from Linchuan to Heishan City.
Heishan City is the most prosperous city in this province besides the provincial capital.
When they arrived in Montenegro, the three of them found a small hotel to stay for a few days.
What Jin Baoer didn't expect was that Lu Ming broke up with him in Montenegro and asked him to stay here.
It was also agreed that if Lu Ming came to look for him in the future, he would publish a missing person notice in the Montenegro Evening News on the first of every month, and Jin Baoer would write the content word for word.
After staying for another two days, Lu Ming and Zhen boarded the train to a neighboring province.
When breaking up with Jin Baoer at the inn, Lu Ming secretly stuffed a wad of banknotes into his pocket.
If you deposit 10,000 imperial coins in a bank, in a small city, the interest would be enough to feed a family of three for a lifetime.
Three people came and two left, creating another barrier for the pursuers.
When he arrived in a city in a neighboring province, he stayed in the same small hotel for a few days. Lu Ming also made a deliberate effort to make a friend, and then they went with him and bought tickets to go west together.
In this way, the two people became three people again, three people with completely different images.
In the meantime, Lu Ming saw news from Wu'an in the local evening newspaper.
But two brigade commanders aligned their carriages and horses in Wu'an, and a war broke out.
All this was due to the riots of the local society Shuanglong Club. Another brigade commander felt that he had an opportunity. He felt that the brigade commander who originally controlled Wu'an had weakened his power, so that he could make the gang do whatever they wanted.
Looking at the newspaper, Lu Ming could only scratch his head.
The newspaper also said that the Double Dragon Society rioted and besieged the court, and even seriously injured a police officer named Li.
As for his own case, although it was the origin of everything, it was obviously insignificant to this important matter and was not mentioned at all.
Li Mingxuan is an unlucky child, and Lu Ming is dumbfounded.
When the evening paper was thrown into the wastebasket on the train, the train also left the four northern provinces and entered the area directly under the imperial jurisdiction, blowing black smoke.
……
After staying in a city for a few days, Lu Ming and Zhen boarded the train going south again.
In this way, we went around in circles, going south and north, and in a big circle, we arrived at Anshan Province, one of the four provinces in the Northern Territory.
It has been more than two months since they left Wu'an, and Lu Ming and Zhen Shi have already changed their clothes several times.
Zhen never asked Lu Ming what he wanted to do, she just followed him around on the train going north and south.
In Anshan, Lu Ming bought a ticket to a city thousands of miles away in the Western Regions.
Then, when I arrived at that city, I went around in circles a few more times, and finally, I bought a train ticket to Donghai City from a city in the hinterland of the empire called Hanzhou.
Donghai City is Lu Ming’s final destination.
Donghai City, officially known as "Donghai Special Autonomous Metropolitan Area".
This was once the capital of the Central Continent Dynasty and was extremely prosperous.
In this world, Lu Ming is from Central China.
Thousands of years ago, the Westerners destroyed the Central Continent Dynasty and turned Donghai City into the private domain of the royal family. The favor was a free city-state, which has evolved into a special autonomous region. Because of its special geographical location, Donghai City has become the most prosperous city after the imperial capital. largest city.
In Lu Ming's eyes, Donghai City was to the empire similar to what New York was to the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, or what Shanghai was to China at the same time.
I have seen photos of those bustling high-rise buildings.
In the memory fragments, a dude like "himself" is also very interested in the highly developed Donghai metropolis with all kinds of entertainment and life. If it is not too far away, thousands of kilometers away, he really wants to go there. look.
The various photos of Donghai City are also reminiscent of New York in the 1940s and 1950s. From the perspective of urban development, the two are too similar.
And this year is the year 949 of the Empire. From a certain perspective, the technology and development level of this world are very similar to our own world in the 1940s and 1950s. However, because of this world, Until now, due to the surrounding uninhabited areas and the strange and chaotic electromagnetic waves in the vast ocean, the map of the entire world has not been illuminated at all. It is only based on scientific calculations that the world is also a sphere.
Because of these geographical features that are completely different from those of the earth, the technological points of this world are also different.
Of course, I only have a general idea of these, but I have to understand the specifics slowly.
As for now, Da Yin is hiding in the court, but he can't hide in Da Yin, so he is hiding in the city.
There is no city where you can hide yourself better than Donghai City.
If I went to the countryside, I would be more conspicuous.
East China Sea has three religions and nine streams, and its population structure is extremely complex.
It is a giant city with a population of millions, and it is unknown how many fugitives from other places are hiding in it.
Moreover, Donghai City, which is thousands of miles away from the four northern provinces, is simply two different worlds from the four northern provinces. They have different lifestyles and mental states, and are almost isolated from each other.
The man behind the scenes may be able to change everything in the four northern provinces, but come to think of it, he won't be able to do whatever he wants in Donghai City.
Of course, you still have to be extra careful.
More importantly, my family heirloom has something to do with the East China Sea.
I have many questions, including why my family caused such a huge disaster.
Perhaps, the answer can only be found from family heirlooms.
So, the East China Sea is an inevitable journey.
