Chapter 209: The Beggar
Brother of the family?
This is a high-quality war horse, look at this hair, it is almost comparable to the mounts of the army.
If you take it for sale, maybe you will have a coil on the way back to your hometown!
In the crowd, there was a man covered in stains, and his clothes were also tattered and did not fit properly, and he did not know where to pick it up.
This person was attracted by Hou Shigui's shouting before, and after discovering the dozens of war horses, he couldn't take his eyes off.
He stood by and listened for a while, until the boy paid a lot of money to buy a few rooms on the next floor and let the horses sleep in the rooms.
"Tsk, let the horses sleep in the guest room? Have you heard of this new thing, man? ”
Someone around patted the person on the shoulder and talked, but he just said it very casually.
But the man turned his head to look at the passer-by with a cold face.
His eyes were full of murderous aura, which frightened the passer-by, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, only to feel that this person seemed to be a demon crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood.
After Hou Shigui and the others entered the inn, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The man turned around and came to an alley where he could take shelter from the wind.
And there are already three people lying in this alley.
As soon as this man entered the alley, someone asked:
"Chen Jin, can you step on the idea?"
These slackers!
Although Chen Jin was not very happy to let these three people join him, after all, there were more than twenty horses, and the guards around the boy were not good at looking at it.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed on my own.
Chen Jin and these three people have only known each other for a few months, and after the defeat of the Southern Expeditionary Army that day, he returned with the army, thinking that he would be dismissed on the spot and return to his hometown.
But who knew that Yu Wenhao actually asked more than 10,000 soldiers to set up camp in this Xiaoping territory.
Although he was only a ten-man commander, and he had a team of ten people under him, he alone survived and escaped from Ascension.
But he also knew that the imperial court would never let himself go, he must be dead to this commander, and the reason why he didn't let the soldiers return to his hometown was because he wanted to support the army and respect himself!
Chen Jin is also shrewd, knowing that with only Yuwenhao's ten thousand horses, even if Xiaoping is the head of his Yuwen family, he is definitely not the opponent of the imperial court.
When the time comes, the imperial court will mobilize a large army to surround him, and he will only have to accompany Yu Wenhao to the funeral.
But your own life is no longer just your own business.
So on a dark and windy night a month ago, he and a few others escaped from the camp, not wanting to be chased by the sentries, perhaps with his own life.
He was the only one who escaped.
I am afraid that the bodies of the remaining people will be dried in the barracks.
Then I entered this riverside county, and I wanted to return to my hometown by boat, but I didn't have enough money on me, and I couldn't even buy food.
In desperation, he had no choice but to join the beggar gang and become a beggar to eat.
"Well, there's a fat sheep, but it's full of thorns and."
The three beggars lying on the ground heard that there was a fat sheep, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly got up from the ground and went to Chen Jin's side:
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it still you? ”
Chen Jin is a ruthless horn that crawled out of the pile of dead in the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the barbarians he has killed are at least one palm.
After joining the beggar gang, he took the lead in several street fights, beating the other party's farts and urine, which won the trust of the He'an County branch of the beggar gang.
Another old beggar also hurriedly asked:
"How fat? Is there a little lady? ”
As he spoke, the old beggar showed a look of remembrance:
"Chen Jin, you don't know, let's read that we met a little lady who was separated from her father and mother outside the road, it is called a fine skin and tender meat, and the aftertaste is endless, but unfortunately I died after a few days of playing, it's really ...... Alas. ”
Seeing the appearance of this old beggar, Chen Jin tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and tried his best to make his tone appear calm and light:
"No, but there are twenty-one good-breed war horses, and with my eyesight, these war horses can be sold for at least twenty taels of silver each!"
"Twenty taels!! Each horse can be sold for twenty taels?!! ”
Hearing Chen Jin's words, the rest of the people were shocked.
But none of these three men had ever read a book, and they did not know how much silver they could get for twenty-one horses sold for twenty taels.
I don't understand how to count it with my fingers crossed.
When Chen Jin saw their appearance, he said impatiently:
"If the twenty-one horses are stolen and sold, at least four hundred and twenty taels of silver can be obtained, which is more than enough to buy a spacious manor in He'an County to be a master."
"Be a master?"
When the old beggar heard this, a look of yearning appeared on his face.
Look at his intoxicated face, as if he had lived in the manor and become an old man.
The rest of the people were also amazed.
These people have seen the most money in their lives, and they have not exceeded ten taels of silver.
The allure of more than four hundred taels of silver is great for them, one can imagine.
However, Chen Jin still explained the benefits and disadvantages to them:
"But there are a few good players around that fat sheep, and I don't think they're simple characters, what's the matter? To do it or not to do it? ”
These beggars have nothing, and there is such a big temptation in front of them, and the king of heaven is not afraid.
When even one by one patted his thighs and shouted:
"! Why don't you do it! What about a good hand? I don't believe that they don't sleep! ”
The old beggar smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't sleep, Lao Tzu still has half a bag of ecstasy here, give them a meal, see if they sleep!"
These three people, two young and one old, are all people who want money and don't want their lives.
Since he decided to do it, he didn't report the matter to the hall, and wanted to swallow this huge amount of money privately.
asked Chen Jin to take him to the outside of the inn to step on it.
After recognizing all the guards around the fat sheep, he returned to the corner and began to discuss the plan.
At nightfall, it's time to eat.
An old beggar walked into the inn trembling with a broken wooden stick.
The innkeeper also recognized the old beggar as a member of the beggar gang, and did not dare to drive him away, so he only let him beg for food.
But Xiaoping County is now in a disaster year, and how many people can afford to eat in a restaurant?
So the old beggar had to walk pitifully towards the only table of diners in the inn.
"Stay."
Before he could get to the table, a man with a knife stopped him.
The old beggar's voice was not as treacherous as before, but full of sadness in the vicissitudes of life:
"Master, my daughter hasn't eaten for a few days, I don't ask for anything else, just ask my lord for half a steamed bun."
Even his eyes were filled with tears, and his back was even more hunched.
At a glance, it only gives people a sense of unbearableness.
"Jiang Yong, that's it, it's also a poor man, so he asked the shopkeeper to give him a few steamed buns, and count them on the account of this son."
One of the guests at the table was a richly dressed young man.
When the old beggar heard this, he immediately burst into tears:
"Great good man!! You are the rebirth parents of me and my granddaughter!! ”
Crying and shouting, the old beggar didn't care about the guard with a knife in front of him, and rushed directly towards Hou Shigui to kowtow to Hou Shigui to thank him.
Just as everyone was scrambling to stop him, they didn't notice that he rushed to the table, and some faint and unsmelling powder was emitted from his sleeves on the food.
