Chapter 123: The People Have No Choice (Asking for Subscription Support)

As soon as he groaned, several big burdens were immediately placed in front of Zhao Dahai. [Four*Library*Book-siKsh]

Someone opened it in front of Zhao Dahai. Immediately, the lights in the room dimmed, but the whole restaurant was full of glory.

There was no gold or silver in the baggage, it was full of jewels and jade, and there was no treasure to be borne. At that time, Zhao Dahai's eyes were dull.

Don't look at this little thing, if you really sell it, you can buy this whole rice fat, how much wealth is this?

For a long time, in the midst of a burst of pleading, Zhao Dahai grabbed his soul back, and said angrily: "They are all old brothers, and they have friendships, but-"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce immediately stepped forward and said, "This is all for your filial piety. ”

At that time, Zhao Dahai suddenly changed color, and suddenly got up: "President Zhao, who do you think of me Zhao Dahai?" Do you want me to give up my brother in the cottage for the sake of this dung? ”

Seeing that Zhao Dahai was furious, the president hurriedly stepped forward and said again: "I said that these are for Lord Zhao's filial piety, and our chamber of commerce and the gentry have decided that if we can get rid of the great difficulty, we will secretly take several trips of goods, such as 500 stone of salt, 5,000 stone of grain, 1,000 horses of cloth, and 50,000 catties of iron. When Zhao Dahai heard this, he was very excited, this is something that everyone knows well, and when the time comes, a few people will go down the mountain and shout: "I drove this road, then this huge convoy of people and horses will immediately disperse." This is another harvest of 350,000 taels of silver, and the cottage will get urgently needed materials, especially iron, that is, there is nowhere to buy things if you have money. ”

The bamboo pole has to be knocked, definitely, but he can't afford to knock it, so Zhao Dahai frowned and said: "It's okay to be the other, it's just this iron material-"

The president immediately looked at the gentry, his son is in the south, and the south is the land of iron production in the Ming Dynasty, and 50,000 catties is already the limit of this rice fat merchant.

So the two of them immediately muttered, and then the president of the Chamber of Commerce replied: "One month, just one month, our Chamber of Commerce will have 50,000 catties of fine railway to pass through Baoshan." ”

Zhao Dahai laughed, and said boldly at that time: "Protecting the safety of my father and elders, this is my Zhao Dahai's unshirkable responsibility, so please follow my brother to Xicheng to be wronged." ”

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, everyone couldn't care about thanking Zhao Dahai if they were amnesty, and immediately hurriedly followed Zhao Dahai's brothers to Xicheng. Zhao Dahai picked up the spear and said to the brothers behind him: "Now, we don't care about his patrols, one hundred and fifty brothers are optimistic about these living treasures, this is a cottage of great wealth." ”

Everyone agreed loudly, but they didn't know that this decision also saved Zhao Dahai's life.

When everyone walked away, Zhao Dahai looked through the piles of jewels, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, and then sighed and said to the brother behind him: "Okay, let's just take a look, everyone on their backs, and wait for the dawn to hand it over to my brother." ”

Those brothers cheered, each found a burden to carry on their shoulders, and one of the brothers saw Zhao Dahai inadvertently put a piece of turquoise object in his arms, but he also looked at it, and immediately turned his head away.

So a group of people, led by Zhao Dahai, Hulala quietly disappeared into the dark night.

The night hides everything, but it can't hide the ghostly tricks in the night.

When Mao Da and Mao Sicheng broke, the first one ran home with knives, guns and arrows, and the brothers met and miraculously neither of them were injured, which was really lucky.

Mao Si won a reward of ten taels from the county lord, and when Mao Da returned to the house, he even took out more than five taels of silver in his arms, which was in the battle of Nancheng, and exchanged his head for a bounty, and this Mao Da also spat on the ground, "Actually, I definitely killed and injured more than this at that time, but the county government master book had to be a witness, and the battle was in full swing at that time, where did I find a witness?" I lost more than half of my money. ”

Mao Si hurriedly covered his brother's mouth, stomped his feet and said, "Brother whispered, when is this?" How dare you say these things? I can't say that the pole will be killed immediately, so bury these coins quickly, this is our life-saving money in the future. ”

Mao Da stopped making a sound, and hurriedly moved the water tank in the yard, dug up the underground soil, and buried it again with the original grain.

"And this bloody suit can't be kept." Mao Si looked at the bloody clothes on the two of them like mud monkeys, and they made a mistake in snoring at that time.

Mao Da said in a sullen voice: "However, we have nothing else but this clothes, can we still freeze in this cold day?" ”

"My brother, let's wear this bloody suit, and after a while, the pole will come in and loot, and we can see on the spot that we are the bloody war signatory? Didn't you immediately chop us up with red eyes? It is important to save our lives, as long as the pole is retreated, what kind of good clothes will we have with silver? ”

Mao Da thought about it, so he reluctantly took off his bloody clothes, so he stuffed the bloody clothes into the stove candy bare-chested, and Mao Si didn't care about his brother's jumping feet, and burned it with a fire sickle.

It hasn't burned out yet, and suddenly I heard the sound of the broken courtyard door being smashed on the mountain, and the two ** were shocked, could it be that the pole began to loot like this? Historically, the pole has only been driven to the rich, but rarely to the poor, what is the matter?

As soon as I thought of this, there was a ** shouting outside the door: "Mao Da, open the door, I'm your cousin." ”

The two glanced at each other, the feeling is to appease the family to follow the cousin, this cousin is also a warm-hearted person, usually there is no shortage of help to their brothers, want to see the broken city is also to come to the west of the city to take refuge, quickly ran out to open the door, as soon as the door latch, the door was rumbled open, already a tattered cousin crashed in, behind him also pulled a crying woman and child, with a few burdens in his hands.

As soon as my cousin came in, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up and close the door." ”

The two hurriedly closed the door again, and the cousin didn't speak, but took the woman and ran into the house, and when he entered the low house, he took out a handful of pot ashes from the stove, and he didn't care that the ashes were still hot, so he smeared it on the woman's face, and the woman who was still thin and tender just now became a sloppy old woman in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the brothers of the Mao family followed up, he asked eagerly, "Can you hide the place?" I hid these baggage. ”

The brothers of the Mao family seemed to listen to their cousin's assignment on the wood, and urgently dug a pit under the thatched toilet in the backyard, and put a few heavy burdens into the pit. ”

Mao Si felt like he had burned his hands and threw the burden into the pit, and several people buried it with their hands and feet, and threw the excess soil into the distance to see that they could no longer see the flaws, so they rushed back to the front yard out of breath.

The cousin entered the house, whispered something to the woman, and then came back, went to the yard, and asked Mao Sidao carefully: "You Xicheng, can you see my family to calm down the adults when the city is broken?" ”

Mao Si hurriedly said: "When I ran, I saw Lord Zhenfu sitting on the powder keg, holding a torch in his hand, and when I ran down the city wall, the powder keg exploded, I think it was——"

The cousin raised his face motionlessly, and a line of hot tears fell, and then he slowly fell to his knees, put his head and face on the ground, and muttered to himself.

When he stood up again, he said to the Mao brothers: "Whoever asks about the two mothers in the house in the future will be your sister-in-law and nephew." ”

The two nodded again and again, and the cousin thought about it and told again: "Don't make up your mind about those burdens, you will benefit from it after the matter is over." ”

Mao Da took a step forward and said, "Where did my cousin come from, you don't know our brother's character?" Starve to death, don't rob, don't steal, we exchange our lives for money, we won't move anything else, and we won't want it if you give it to our brother in the future. ”

The cousin looked at Mao Si again, and Mao Si didn't say anything, just nodded firmly.

At this moment, a monstrous cry suddenly sounded in the west of the city, rolling like a wave, and in a short time it reached the left and left of the door.

Just when everyone was nervous, the door was kicked open without wind and rain, and a group of people with sticks, knives and guns rushed into the yard, and the Mao brothers and cousins hurriedly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Those poles didn't talk nonsense, some of them began to rummage in the yard, and the others immediately rushed into the house, and there was a sound of rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the house, and the woman and the child screamed, but after a while, the people in the house came out and said to a small leader: "This family is poor, so I found two catties of husband Kang in a broken jar, and a woman and a child on the kang were wrapped in a bed without quilt wool, and the others didn't even have a mouse." ”

The leader looked up and down at the three people squatting on the ground, casually asked about their identities, and then looked at the neat house and said, "Go, drive that woman and child out, our team will camp here today." ”

The few agreed, turned around and went into the house, and after a while, the child and woman and a broken bed were thrown into the yard, and a dozen poles were hula into the house and settled.

The Mao brothers had no choice but to gather around a bed of broken quilts, squeezed to check and hide in the corner to avoid the wind, and watched those poles come out and go in in horror, not even daring to breathe.

At dawn in the second half of the night, another group of poles strode in, and one of them walked up to the five people who were crowded together and said angrily: "I said, do you want to kill people?" ”

Mao Da said angrily: "Why don't you dare, give me a knife, I dare to kill the king of heaven." ”

"Good, good." The pole praised the head, and then said: "You three men, two out of us to join us, rest assured, I won't let you do it in vain, the big boss said, at dawn, fight, kill one and give five taels of silver, when the living brothers are each fifty taels of silver, ten stones of rice, and the brothers who died in battle, give him one hundred taels of silver and twenty stones of rice to his family." Win this battle, how about staying casually? ”

Mao Si and Mao Da stood up at that time and said loudly: "It's hit, it's done at dawn." ”

The little boss didn't expect the two brothers to be in such pain, but hesitated, and suddenly saw the three cousins in the corner, and said with a smile: "Okay, I accepted you, but you, the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and little nephew, have to be wronged here, and we will have someone to watch." You know the rest. ”

The Mao brothers glanced at each other, nodded at the time, and said, "I know, but we have been hungry for a day, and you have to give us a full meal first." ”

"No problem, flatbread and pickles will be said right away."

When those people walked away, the cousin grabbed the hand of the Mao brothers and couldn't speak, Mao Si smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, we have a big life, and following the killing is not killing, as long as I exchange my life for my life, I will do it, in case we die, the pension money will make a living for the cousin." ”

After saying this, the five of them fell silent again, what kind of world is this.
