Chapter 72: The Suspicious Brother

Now the floods have been going on for a month, and they are all gone.

Knowing that Gao Fengcheng's newly appointed county commander sent his eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law to come here in person to find out who was the richest here, Wu Mazi was particularly enthusiastic and emphasized to them that the really rich person in Wujia Village was Wu Hongsheng......

But now, Wu Hongsheng's family has run away. None of them were found.

As long as Wu Mazi, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, thought that the two nobles in front of him would definitely use him later, he was in a hurry, and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

"Two adults, we have just carefully examined it, and there is indeed no one in this cave, but there are many traces of their lives in that cave."

"The cave inside is large, and several wooden houses have been artificially made out of wooden boards. Although there is nothing of value in it, there is still a lot of wood. ”

"Why don't we just set a fire and burn you?"

Hearing that Wu Mazi in front of him also gave himself an idea, Zhao Minghui, who has always liked to be calculating and has little energy, raised his hand at that time and slapped him dozens of times in the face.

"Lao Tzu still needs you to teach him how to do things?"

"You dog minion, do you really think you're better than me?"

Seeing Zhao Minghui suddenly get angry, as a white-bodied Wu Mazi, he knelt straight on the ground with a plop and kept kowtowing to Zhao Minghui.

There was a jumping sound, and soon, Zhao Minghui's forehead became bruised.

"My lord, please spare your life, my lord!"

"Please give the little one another chance! This time, I promise to make it look good......"

When Zhao Minghui saw Wu Mazi like this, he thought about impatience for a while. His second brother Zhao Mingde noticed this detail, and he raised his foot without thinking about it. kicked Wu Mazi out two meters away.

Seeing the elderly Wu Mazi, he was paralyzed on the ground at that time, unable to move, Zhao Mingde turned his head and said to Zhao Minghui, "Brother~, I told you just now, let's not waste time in this place!" ”

"The people on this mountain are cunning! This pockmarked face just now swore that whoever is the descendant of a wealthy family, I don't believe it in my heart! ”

"Now we have walked for so long and come to this place, but we haven't even seen their figures, which shows that this pockmarked man has no good intentions towards us."

"I think there should be some kind of trap here,...... The burning of the cave that he proposed just now may be a code for him to tell others in advance. ……”

Zhao Mingde, although he likes to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. I don't usually do anything serious. But his suspicions are still very heavy.

He wondered every day, who was going to kill him?

However, in real life, no one takes him as a gentleman in his eyes.

And when Zhao Minghui heard him say this, he suddenly felt that what he said still made some sense.

If the people on the mountain really collude with the bandits on the mountain, then they will be in danger.

Zhao Minghui's eyes rolled a few times, and after he suddenly raised his hand, he ordered the people on his left and right to hurry up and tie up all the people who led the way just now.

……

After spending the night in a group of several hundred people in the bunker on the mountain next door, they brought back all the nearly 300 villagers in the bunker early the next morning, as agreed in advance.

After they took them to the county seat, they began to run up the hill again.

Running back and forth like this, within half a month, Zhao Minghui, Zhao Mingde, and other cadres and others collected all the dozens of villages around Gaofeng City.

The people who survived these dozens of villages add up to quite a lot.

They are at least much more than the people who survived Gaofeng City!

Wang Xinren personally looked at the number of people. found that his eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and some other cronies had been brought out of the mountain, almost 10,000 people,...... Wang Xinren was crazy with joy at that time.

In Gaofeng City, there are still 10,000 people......

There are more than 8,000 young men.

Wang Xinren had already thought about it, if he sold these more than 8,000 people one after another, he should be able to get more than 100,000 taels of silver!

He sold these people to black brick kiln factories and black coal mines. Sign all of them with death deeds. Then he will definitely be able to get nearly 200,000 taels of silver!

Then, he divided the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled into categories according to the old and the young.

Then, he can also get a lot of income.

Sell all the little girls inside to Jiangnan. Let them be skinny horses.

The old women and young women inside were all sent to the northwest.

Wang Xinren has heard that there are many soldiers over there, and there is an extreme shortage of women.

After sending all the women who had given birth to him, he should be able to get 60,000 taels of silver.

Thinking that he could make such a big windfall in the past few days, Wang Xinren began to rub his hands.

He paced back and forth at his desk.

When he thought that he was here, less than three months after he became the county magistrate, and there was nearly one million taels of silver, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Wang Xinren thought he wasn't laughing, but in fact he was already laughing.

Recently, his daughter-in-law Zhao found that he was red every day, and she kept this incident in her heart at that time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the old man laughing again, and Zhao, who was sitting on the side and was pulling the abacus, coughed lightly at that time.

Said it out loud to him.

"Sir, what were you laughing at just now? I've called you several times, and you ignore me......"

The Zhao family beside Wang Xinren personally went to the Zhao Mansion three years ago to ask for it.

At that time, he saw that she had clear eyebrows, a slightly chubby figure, and a very good appearance. I also heard the head of her family say that she was very good at managing accounts since she was a child, and she knew how to plan the market, so he spent dozens of taels of silver to marry her back.

Wang Xinren has always felt that since he married the Zhao family, his family has improved, and he has successfully bought an official seat......

So, Wang Xinren regarded his wife as his lucky star.

Every time he looked at her, his eyes were shining.

Seeing his two eyes shining at him, Zhao's heart was dark for a while.

"Master, you are so decent, why are you still in a daze?"

Hearing this, Wang Xinren laughed out loud at the time, but soon, a very confused emotion appeared on his face.
