As Gan Ning woke up, Ma Zhong and Yu Ji also woke up after a while, and after figuring out the current situation, several people were speechless. Unexpectedly, the dignified "Yellow Sky Envoy", the powerful figure who was in charge of 100,000 "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals", would become a commodity in someone else's mouth at this moment.

This "Taihang Eighty-Eight" is not an ordinary bandit, but a group of bandits with "dreams". Under the leadership of Yide, this group of people knew that it was not so easy to buy a road by robbing homes and houses, but they found another way to start a head business.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, taxes were heavy, not only asking for money and grain "taxes", but also the indiscriminate release of local officials.

Taxes, each household needs to pay 200 yuan per year; Adult men also have to pay 300 yuan a year for "more contributions", and those who are disabled are not exempt. There are also countless tax names such as "oral endowment", "calculation endowment", "dedication", etc., anyway, it is to collect money in a different way, and if it is not enough to collect it once, it will be collected a second time.

Conscription means that every man with Fu nationality must serve one month of unpaid labor in the place of household registration every year, and engage in civil engineering, building bridges and roads, managing rivers and canals, and transferring water valleys and other infrastructure work. It is said that the levy and issuance of conscription is limited to 30 days, but as long as the quality of the project is not up to standard and it is necessary to rework, it is called "not counted as conscription", and it is not counted in the fixed period of conscription, so it can be seen that conscription is often more than a month or even longer. In addition, because of the relationship between the emperor and the emperor, it is never new for local officials to issue conscription indiscriminately.

And some wealthy families who have nothing to do with the DPRK can't even if they want to spend money to be exempted from forced labor. Therefore, Yide suddenly thought, if he could find some labor for this rich family and exempt them from forced labor, would he be able to make a lot of money with his brothers? Together, they immediately put this idea into action, and the reward was greatly beyond their expectations. The wolf has more meat and less meat, and as soon as this coolie came out, several wealthy families rushed to buy it, and the price of the "goods" sold also rose again and again. This group of horse bandits saw hope, and actually made the business bigger.

These things are naturally not guessed by Xiang Cheng, let alone asked by Xiang Cheng, but by Yide himself, it seems that he has an indescribable sense of pride in treating this industry as big now. Don't you know that there are only countless disgusts for this kind of person, even if it is not yourself who is treated as a commodity.

Ever since they learned what this group of people was doing, everyone looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to confirm one thing to each other. Xiang Cheng and the others are very clever, and after seeing this team of less than 100 people, they did not mention Zhang Ning and Guo Jia, who were not in the prisoner car, and they did not say a word. There is even a doubt in everyone's hearts, they want to kidnap people to serve in the service, these three young men also said in the past, I don't know what these people think, even Yu Ji, who has a white beard, also brought it to the car. However, Yu Ji is proud, and Lian praises these people for their eyesight.

It's a pity that after Xiang Cheng and others were forced to eat dozens of "soft tendons" for three consecutive days, they still didn't see Guo Jia and Zhang Ning. Even Xiang Chengdu felt that it was unrealistic to rely on a scholar to save himself.

When they went on another journey, they saw that the path in front of them was dusty, and they saw that seven or eight horsemen had come to the front of the procession.

"Yo, isn't this Boss Cheng, so anxious this month? Can't wait for me to go to the 'market'? Yide saw someone coming and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. There were seven people who came, and they also carried a cart, and the leader was dressed in silk and satin, but it was a pity that the fat head and big ears were born, but it was a waste of this good fabric.

After hearing Yide's words, Boss Cheng smiled bitterly again and again: "But isn't it, this conscription is two days in advance, if you don't come again, my son will be in a catastrophe, and I have no choice but to disturb my brother." After that, he hugged his fist apologetically.

Taihang Eighty-Eight has their rules, they will never trade until they reach the "market", but this Cheng boss is an old customer, and it is inconvenient to offend. Yide said helplessly: "Boss Cheng knows our rules, if the rules are broken, this thing can't be done." Boss Cheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, don't look at this round body, there is still a little chic between this leap, but after this chic, it is even more embarrassing. didn't think about it, as soon as Boss Cheng landed, he knelt in front of Yide Ma with a puff. Yide is not surprised by the change, it seems that this kind of thing has become commonplace.

"Boss! Checkmate! King! Help my son! Boss Cheng begged repeatedly, and seemed to remember something, so he waved at the back and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze!" Take out the money we have prepared. Hearing this, the remaining six people hurriedly removed two wooden boxes from the car.

The wooden box was opened, and the treasure was soaring, full of layers of gold bars, which dazzled people. Yide's eyes also widened, first looked at the gold bars, and then looked at Boss Cheng, his eyes were full of puzzlement. "These two pieces of gold, each weighing two hundred taels, one box is the money I bought, and the other box is for you to make amends." Boss Cheng looked at Yide and was a little moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

Yide was greedy in his eyes, but he stubbornly resisted the temptation, collected his heart and said: "Boss Cheng is a big deal, but there are rules in one line, and I can't break them." But the hammer struck the diamond, and instead of striking out the shape, it lost the hammer.

Seeing that Boss Cheng's face was gloomy, Yide hurriedly said: "But we can speed up the process, and I will send these people to the market before the conscription." Boss Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then thank you to the leader." Yide then said, "This gold should be our money for changing horses." Boss Cheng was overjoyed and said, "That's that." ”

Although this group of people did something desperate, they didn't expect this principle to be so strong, and seeing the bright gold in front of them, it was rare that they were not moved.

"Boss Cheng, do you choose someone first?" Closing the gold box, Yide asked. Boss Cheng was also polite and said casually: "Okay." ”

Walking to these four prisoner cars and looking at them one by one, Xiang Cheng felt indescribable in his heart, after all, it was the first time he was selected as a cargo. Gan Ning scolded loudly, causing Boss Cheng to shake his head again and again. Ma Zhong lay down towards the prisoner car, turned his ass at Boss Cheng, who came to pick people, and turned around without saying a word. Finally walked in front of Yu Ji, Boss Cheng was shocked: "How can there be such an old man?" Yide replied with a smile: "As long as you buy one of the first three, this old man will be given by me." ”

Yu Ji originally secretly praised Yide for having vision, but at this time, he was angry like thunder. And Gan Ning laughed after hearing this: "Old man Yuji, you have become a gift!" Hahahaha, how did Ji Yu say that, yes, you were given by someone else who bought Hu cakes. Hahahaha. Yu Ji rolled his eyes after hearing this, and then stopped paying attention to everyone.

After looking around, Boss Cheng returned to Xiang Cheng again, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "This person is the strongest!" I'm sure this guy is good. Yide smiled: "No problem." Then he said: "Brothers, set out and hasten your feet." Taihang Eighty-Eight and the others laughed and said, "No." ”

Xiang Cheng muttered in his heart: "Why do you say that I am strong? ”

Xiang Ji sneered: "This fat man may be when he is picking pork." ”

Xiang Cheng: "......"
