Section 0098 Spending money to buy life
In the dark night, the group did not speak, but just rushed to the guard house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info quiet on the surface, in fact, everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts. This 'local guard' never thought that he would pick up a life at this moment, which is really lucky, thinking that his trick of kowtowing to buy his life succeeded, so he couldn't help but be complacent and complacent, and in front of a few cronies, he came out so decently and captured the Mongolian general, so the humiliation he suffered in the 'closed-door meeting' just now naturally had to be concealed forever.
And his subordinates, who have accumulated money, are naturally more aware of the wind and rudder than this guard, just now I saw that the 'guard' came out safe and sound, although he knew that the plan to make money was in vain, but he hurriedly smiled and served. However, some of these wealthy relatives were still holding on to their beliefs, and secretly said: "Bastard! Why did there still come out of that caravan with a few martial arts masters? If just a few of us escorted this guard back home, we could still find a place where no one was guarding the pass on the road at night, and then blame the Mongolian generals or the group of merchants, naturally we would still be able to take away all the silver taels in the guard storehouse!" But he also thought about it secretly, and on the surface, he still looked at the guard, smiling all over his face, and carefully supporting him.
After a while, a group of people waited, turned a few alleys, and came to the back door of Shouguan Mansion. Under the light of the lantern, the guards at the back door, seeing the return of the 'guard', hurriedly summoned the guards to greet them. In an instant, the guards with guns and halberds in their hands lined up and came out, and this pomp and circumstance was really not small! This guard naturally put on a swaggering appearance again, first secretly glanced at Huan Tianxi and the others, coughed, and then said in a tone: "You things that are only interested in escaping for your life, go to the prison and get a pair of the heaviest iron shackles used by prisoners! This general of a neighboring country who smuggled across the border, with the assistance of a businessman and a good man, has been arrested by me, and he will be put in prison first!"
The guards replied in unison, "Yes!" and four of the guards turned and entered the back door. After a while, the four of them together lifted out a pair of handcuffs and leg shackles. The Mongolian general, because he wanted to die early, drank a large bowl of potion that was actually sweat medicine, so he was unconscious at the moment. Uncle Tian hurriedly stepped forward to untie his fishing net, released the sleeping Mongol general from the net, and put the net away. Several guards quickly stepped forward and shackled the Mongol general with the heaviest shackles they had just taken. The local guards also specially ordered: "With the assistance of the merchant and the hero just now, I have found out that this person is a smuggling felon, but he must be strictly guarded!" Several guards hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Immediately, several people carried the Mongolian general who was still asleep into the prison.
So, the guard turned around and smiled at Huan Tiandi and the others: "A few good men wait for a while! I will return all the hard-earned silver taels that are temporarily stored in my house at the moment." Uncle Huan was already impatiently shouting, "Go quickly!" So the guard called a few personal guards, and entered the back door with his cronies. After a while, I heard the sound of "gurgling" wheels in the backyard, and then I saw that the guard was holding a silver package, and first ran out of the back door, and stepped forward to wait for people happily: "Fellow businessmen and heroes, this is exactly what the lower officials temporarily stored for you, the five thousand taels of silver." It was sent by the lower officials to take it back from the soldiers under the Mongol general. ”
Uncle Huan took it, opened it and took a look, and saw that it was not bad, so he immediately wrapped it and carried it in his hand. Immediately afterwards, I saw a cart pulled by a horse also coming out of the back door and stopping at the door. The guard smiled again: "This is 500,000 taels, since you have helped the officials and caught the generals of the neighboring country, it is a trivial matter, and I ask you to accept it with your face." "Huantian Zangfeng and the others, when they heard this, they were all surprised!
It turned out that just now, after the guard entered the mansion with his cronies and guards, he also went to his private silver treasury and counted and took out 500,000 taels of silver. Because according to the habitual thinking of guarding the pass: "The reason why he happily waited for those good men to spare him was because he kowtowed and begged for mercy in that closed-door meeting just now, promising to spend 500,000 taels of silver to buy his life, and he increased his weight step by step, and after reaching 500,000 taels, those businessmen and heroes finally ignored themselves, but instead turned the Mongolian general overturned! It was really because the Mongolian general was too ignorant and refused to give up a penny, so he ended up and was imprisoned by himself!" He thinks that this is like spending money to buy officials, and if you are willing to spend money, you can become a big official, and this truth, judging from his experience as an official for so many years, has been tried and tested, so he is naturally convinced! So he thought to himself: If he didn't give away 500,000 taels, maybe his life would still not be saved!
Zang Feng saw it on the side, although he didn't understand the mind of guarding the pass. But Huan Tianxi and the others followed Lu Lianshan, and indeed they had specialized in robbing corrupt officials, so why didn't they do this business? So Uncle Huan smiled and said: "Hehe! Okay! You are very knowledgeable in guarding the pass! I will take it for our lord first! Go back and tell you!" The guard hurriedly said: "Thank you for your care!"
Uncle Tian said at this time: "Okay! You guard the pass, remember: you have to take good care of this Mongolian general!" The guard hurriedly replied: "Yes! Yes! Rest assured!"
Immediately, Zang Feng and others happily sent off the surface of this gatekeeper, took the silver taels, and drove the silver carts, and hurriedly went back to the inn. And this guard also hurriedly went to the palace, first changed his clothes, so it was inevitable that he would sit in the hall all night, and thought: "How should this Mongolian general be punished? What does it mean that the merchant told him to take care of this Mongolian general?" It turned out that this 'guard' thought to himself: "While the Mongolian general is asleep, let him put his fingerprint on the blank verdict first, and then I will fill in the charges.
A short time later, the soldier returned with the verdict, which had been forcibly fingerprinted. The soldier replied, "Lord Hui, exactly!" The prisoner was still asleep at the moment, and we held his hand to press it unconsciously. But this guard sat in the hall, still hesitating, how to punish this Mongolian general?
