Chapter 353: All or Nothing
Zero One quietly divided the fire into two piles and put the rabbit on it to roast.
Xiaomi put his hand in his sleeve and tightened his grip on the dagger.
Xiaocao knew that he had no combat power, so he approached Xiaomi's side.
The guide glanced around, suddenly approached Lin Changsheng, and said in a low voice, "I heard that there are a lot of good things in the Ji family's forest farm, if you can pick them up and sell them, you will definitely be able to sell them at a good price." ”
Mu Jiu pretended to be puzzled, "Why?" Don't their workers pick all the good things? ”
The guide glanced around again, "Girl, do you know, I heard that they have planted a lot of valuable things on the forest that they have cut down, and they can sell them for a lot of money, and the things that are valuable in our eyes are nothing in their eyes, and they don't care at all." ”
"Why are you telling us this? Isn't there a good thing to hide and find a way to keep it to yourself? Mu Jiu deliberately set the guide's words.
I thought: It seems that there are many people in the town who know about it, but they don't dare to say it, or like the guide, they know a little bit, and they spread the rumors, and in the end, they may become the treasures that the Ji family has planted in the forest farm.
The guide touched the back of his head, "I want to too, but I don't have that ability, if I had that ability and what kind of guide I would have left the town with my wife and children to Qizhou!" ”
It is human nature to develop in a good place.
This man is very real.
Mu Jiu relaxed a lot, "Then why don't you take your wife and children to Qizhou?" Maybe you'll find another way to make a living. ”
The guide smiled bitterly, "I don't dare, I don't care if I'm alone, I drag my family with my family, if I can't find a way to live, won't my daughter-in-law and son have no way to live!" ”
Mu Jiu was silent, this is true, with a home, there will be more worries.
Mu Jiu changed his relaxed tone and asked, "How do you know that there are good things in the Ji family's forest farm?" ”
The guide was very careful to make sure that there was no one around, and then whispered, "I said it when I saw that you are capable people, you must not sell me!" I don't know how I heard about it, anyway, I heard about it, I didn't believe it at first, but then I saw the people of the Ji family coming in and out, and they used horse-drawn carts to load things several times, but they were not wood, so I thought, maybe those are their valuable things. ”
Mu Jiu: "......"
This reasoning......
Nothing seems to be wrong.
After speaking, the guide seemed to remember something, "My lords, let me tell you something, you must not betray me, can you get rid of those people you met when you came?" Those people are so hateful, they always go to the town to buy things without paying, I heard that they were fugitives before they came to town! ”
"You can report to the official!"
"Hey......" the guide said with a tearful expression, "Mayor Mare's heart is weak, anyway, you have a way to get them away, and the people of the town will definitely be grateful to you." ”
Mu Jiuxin said that I want the gratitude of the people in the town to do something, and I want to be safe is true.
The words, "If you tell us everything, you are not afraid that we will sell you?" ”
The guide was stunned for a while, and then said with little confidence, "You won't, I think you are good people." ”
Mu Jiu restrained his smile and said with a solemn expression, "Maybe, what if we are really bad guys?" What are you going to do? ”
The guide is sluggish again, shouldn't Mu Jiu admit that they are good people? This...... He could only say helplessly, "What else can I do, I have said everything, I hope you won't cheat me, but if you want to cheat me, I can't do anything." ”
Mu Jiu: "Well, even if we don't betray you, how can you be sure that we can help you with this?" Even if we have the ability, why should we do you this favor? ”
The guide paused for a long time, stopped talking, and went into the house in a big blow.
When he reached the door, Mu Jiu said again, "We can help get them away, but in the end, we have to go through the procedures of the government, can you really be sure that they are fugitives?" ”
The guide was overjoyed, and quickly turned around and approached Mu Jiu, "Definitely!" I'm sure of it! But there is no evidence, once I took someone into the mountains to dig medicinal herbs and met them, half of them were robbed, and I also heard them say with my own ears: I think we even killed people back then, what happened to robbing you of something, what can you do with us! ”
"That's not enough to prove that they're fugitives, is there any stronger evidence?"
"No...... Oh, and another time, I heard them say that Slap Scarface escaped from the north, and was also issued by the government with a sea fishing document, and there are portraits in each state capital. ”
It's much easier to do.
As long as there is, Zhang Jinwei will definitely be able to find it there.
Mu Jiu knew in his heart, the guide didn't ask them, and they had already asked Shannai and the others to take Scarface and others to Zhang Jinwei when they went back, even if they couldn't find out the previous case record, suing them in the name of robbing them was enough for these people to drink a pot.
But I just want to put a guide.
Now that there are portraits of sea fishing, things will be much simpler.
Mu Jiu: "Let's try our best, but you can't sell us, if I asked you today, you can't say a word, otherwise ......"
The guide recalled the scene where Lin Changsheng and Zero One scared the big black bear away, and his legs trembled with fright, and he swore to the sky, "Don't worry, girl, if I leak half a cent of today's events, I won't be able to die if the sky thunders!" ”
Mu Jiu never believed in the oath, but seeing the guide's sincere attitude, he was much more relieved, and continued to ask, "I heard that many of the lumberjacks in your town are fugitives from other places, do you know about this?" ”
The guide thought about it: I heard that the new prefect who took the throne last year was a good person, and I heard that this prefect had gained a firm foothold in Qizhou, could it be that these people were sent by the new prefect to inquire about the fugitives? If this is the case, the fugitives in the town will be cleared, and their town will be much more peaceful and their lives will be much easier!
The guide said everything he knew, "This is true, and in the past few years, the original residents of our town know about it, but they don't dare to squeak when they are robbed of money or given money." ”
Mu Jiu frowned, only to hear the guide say again, "Because they are all outlaws, and our families are all here, we have no ability to live in other places, in case we offend them, they will cut our family, and we have no ability to stop them."
Girl, you should see in the town, every street is a wood processing factory, except for the Ji family, the Guo family and the Yan family, which have their own forces, and the fugitives dare not act rashly, and the others are covered by forces, and the price is that half of the money earned must be handed over to those forces.
Those forces are made up of fugitives, just like I will be your guide, one or two pieces of silver a day, but you have to hand in 500 wen when you go back, and if you meet Scarface on the way, 500 wen has to be handed over to them 250 wen. ”
Mu Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Then the government has never taken care of this matter?" ”
Guo Buping is still one of the forest farm owners, and he holds the court's money, but he doesn't arrest these fugitives, but hits the idea on serious businessmen like them, what kind of tolls to collect!
It's madness!
When the guide said that he was excited, his eyes were red, "The girl doesn't know, when Lord Yan was the prefect in the past, he only managed to collect money everywhere, where to care about the suffering of the people, I heard that the newly appointed Lord Zhang is good, but the Qizhou family was greatly lost by Lord Yan, and Lord Zhang was only afraid that he would be powerless."
What's even more terrifying is that Lord Zhang probably didn't know about it. ”
The guide was very careful, and as he spoke, he kept looking around, worried that someone around him would eavesdrop, "Girl, the people in the town don't dare to talk to anyone about this matter easily, for fear that the people of the court will not handle it cleanly or even if they don't deal with it, and the fugitives will turn around and retaliate, and we will suffer!" ”
"Then why do you dare to say that?" Mu Jiu asked suspiciously.
The guide suddenly shed tears, "Don't tell the girl, you say, there are girls in our town, either regardless of the girl's life and death, sell the girl to those fugitives, in order to seek the protection of the fugitives and keep the family safe, or love the daughter, even if it is a dead end, you have to move away."
I raised a daughter, and seeing that my daughter was ten years old and growing up day by day, I ...... I can only gamble, I also think about it, if you can't help, girl, I will find a family affair for my daughter outside the town, and send my daughter to her mother-in-law's house in advance. ”
I see.
Mu Jiu believed in his instincts, and also believed that his eyes would not be wrong when he looked at people, and when the guide talked about his daughter, his eyes couldn't help revealing the old father's love, it couldn't be pretended.
"We can only do our best, if Lord Zhang wants to try the case, do you dare to be a witness?"
"As long as the girl cares about the safety of my family, I dare!" The guide was very excited, he made the right bet!
"You go and rest, I'll try as much as I can."
The guide suddenly knelt down in front of Mu Jiu and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, girl!" Thank you, Childe! You are the most righteous people I have ever met! ”
Mu Jiu: "......"
After living for two lifetimes, I was praised for my sense of justice for the first time!
Seems good.
"You get up first, I said just give it a try, it may not be successful!"
"If you try, you'll succeed!" The guide was frightened and said, "If it doesn't work, don't sell me!" ”
"No, no, you get up first, go rest, you haven't told us anything, we haven't heard of anything, and we won't do anything."
The guide wanted to say something, but Lin Changsheng picked it up and threw it into the house.
Mu Jiu: "......"
Very Lin Changsheng habit!
He Lin Changsheng walked to the fire and leaned on him, "What do you think?" ”
"He wasn't lying."
"I think so too."
The night breeze came slowly, blowing away Mu Jiu's long hair, and also blowing Lin Changsheng's wisp of green silk in front of Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu subconsciously raised his hand, rolled up Lin Changsheng's black hair, circled it a few times, and wrapped it tightly around his hand.
The girl's movements were very soft, her hair pulled her scalp, Lin Changsheng's whole body was crispy, the girl was wrapping her hair, she was clearly wrapping her heart!
