067 They all beg for food
Bai Poria admitted that what her father said was very reasonable, Hai Pushi was able to sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and it would definitely not be because of loyalty, honesty and luck, let alone a soft-footed shrimp who could be bullied and taken advantage of casually, so the reason why he behaved abnormally in front of her was very intriguing...... Is it because he deliberately tolerates her everywhere or is he deliberately pretending to be like this for other purposes?
White Poria prefers to be the former.
Casually threw the murder weapon "door latch" in her hand to Bai Guo, Bai Poria walked in front of Hai Pumice in a few steps, as soon as she approached, she obviously felt the other party's cramped and uneasy, her mood couldn't help but fly, and she also had a shallow smile on her face: "What are you using for those stolen goods?" Tell me about it? Also, you left in a hurry last night, why did you suddenly think of going back and thinking about these things? ”
Hai Pushi's eyes didn't dare to look directly at Bai Poria's overly beautiful little face, and he fixed his gaze on the top of her head with all his might, and then said calmly: "Last night, I learned the news of the Demon Cult Demon 'Yanxia Three Thieves' that I had been chasing from the mouth of the thief, so I had to rush there overnight for fear that they would escape. Now that they had been captured by the inferior, when they interrogated their accomplices, they knew that this gang of thieves had really plundered a lot of property over the years, amounting to tens of thousands of taels...... A few months ago, there was a flood in the Ning'an River, tens of thousands of victims, the imperial court has not yet allocated the relief silver, seeing the autumn and winter solstice, I don't know how many innocent people will die of cold and starvation, so I want to donate this stolen money and goods, how much can I help. ”
Hai Pumice just spoke quietly, his voice was not very excited, but his eyes slowly showed compassion, and Bai Guo and Bai Peony couldn't help but be a little moved.
A few months ago, the Ning'an River flooded, all the farmland on both sides of the river was submerged, now although the flood has receded, but the fields have all been washed away, there is no harvest, this winter even there is no rations, several well-known martial arts elders in the Ning'an River area distributed martial arts posts everywhere, hoping to raise silver and two rice of grain to distribute to the victims.
The reason why Hai Pushi is willing to get in the way and lead a large group of young master soldiers to hunt down the three thieves of Yanxia is also because the family behind these young heroines promised to donate a large amount of money for the disaster relief of the Ning'an River, so they had no choice but to be embarrassed.
Bai Poria listened to him roughly explain the cause and effect, and thought for a while: "I can ask you where to collect stolen money and stolen goods, and I can also help you exchange the stolen goods for silver taels or food and winter clothes at a reasonable price within half a month, but ......"
Hai Pushi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, but if you have something to ask, you will do your best...... As long as it does not violate justice and conscience......"
He paused and added a supplementary condition, and Bai Ling's stretched eyebrows suddenly twisted again, is this? Can't trust her character, are you afraid that she will let him go to the adulterous department?
Bai Guo and Bai Peony behind her are also very unhappy, although their young lady behaves absurdly and does things in extreme ways, she never does anything to hurt kindness, but she has saved a lot of people, how can this guy surnamed Hai look down on people so much?!
Seeing their faces, Hai Pushi also knew that he was speechless, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take them back if he wanted to, so he said apologetically: "It's to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Miss forgives the sin, and the young lady has any instructions but it doesn't matter." ”
"Humph! I can't remember what I want you to do now. "The fire of the white poria comes and goes quickly, but I just want to see the helpless appearance of the sea pumice.
Hai Pumice has also touched a lot of difficult women, and he just ignored them with a straight face, but now he can't make a face to the girl in front of him, and he has asked her, so he can't ignore it...... I don't have to deal with it.
He is about to escort the three thieves back to the public trial, listen to the confession of centipede scar, this batch of stolen goods is really a lot, if you want to escort it on the road together, it is even more difficult to shoot quickly at a reasonable price, saving people is like fighting fire, now the weather has turned cold, it will snow in a blink of an eye, the victims lack food and clothing, and I don't know how many people will die every extra day. Although these stolen money and goods can only solve a small part of the problem, it is better than nothing.
This Bai family looks very rich, and they are also wealthy businessmen in the northwest area, with their help, it is naturally the best, Hai Pumice weighed it, and finally said with a wry smile: "I owe Miss an invitation, Miss thinks of what to do in the future, and sends someone to tell me in the future, how about it?" ”
When Bai Poria's purpose was achieved, he said with satisfaction: "Okay! Deal! ”
"There's another thing to trouble Miss Bai......" Hai Pushi thought of his request, feeling very embarrassed.
"What?"
"Can the stolen goods be registered, the price and where they were sold?"
Bai Poria was really angry, and glared: "You can't trust me so much, why do you reluctantly ask us to help?!" You'd better be smart! ”
"No, it's not! Don't get me wrong, miss! Seeing that Bai Poria was angry, Hai Pumice hurriedly explained: "After all, these are other people's property, we have no choice but to misappropriate it for disaster relief, although it is a good deed, but after all, it is reasonable, and I want to find a way to redeem the things and return them to the original owner if I can find the owner in the future." ”
White Poria has been defeated, is this person really fake? Honestly pedantic like this?!
Those merchants who have been looted by thieves are all passing merchants, and they don't know where they have gone, and even if they do, God knows if they will see the wealth and impersonate the property?
However, she didn't bother to argue with the sea pumice, and said angrily: "Okay, good!" It's all up to you! ”
Hai Pushi said deeply: "In the next generation, the victims on both sides of the Ning'an River have thanked Miss Gaoyi." ”
After distributing the spoils in front of a kind of thief, Bai Poria was depressed and planned to find the thief boss to continue to extort a confession, but when she turned her head, she found that the person could not withstand the severe pain, foaming at the mouth and fainted.
Her eyes rolled and fell on the other thieves, the thieves watched their boss being tortured by a small pill to the dilemma of life and death, they were all frightened, and before she could ask, the thieves who were the second and third in line had already rushed to explain in detail the place where the stolen goods and money were hidden, and that place was not far away, in the hidden stone cave of a barren mountain outside Puye Town.
Bai Poria instructed Bai Guo to record the place in detail on a piece of paper, and said to Hai Pushi: "There is a boss Ge who runs a pawnshop in Puye Town, you go and ask him to find someone to transport these things out for you, tell him how much silver taels, grain, and cold will be exchanged, and where to send them. ”
This Boss Ge is a steward cultivated by the Bai family, and although the pawnshop opened in Puye Town does not bear the name of the Bai family, it is one of the industries of the Bai family.
Before leaving, Bai Poria suddenly stopped him and said, "Now I am your creditor!" My surname is Bai, my name is Bai Poria, you have to remember it. ”
Hai Pushi silently turned the three words white poria in his heart a few times, such a fickle and fierce, moving and scary little beauty in the city, how could he forget?
Sent away the sea pumice, the Bai family also packed up and set off on the road, and finally crossed the mountain in the afternoon and arrived at the next town, which is larger than Lushan Town, and the only small inn and even a few surrounding houses were chartered by Bai Pingzi in advance, sprinkling a new sweep to welcome the guests.
Bai Poria got out of the car in front of the small inn, and was about to go in quickly to take a good shower and rest, when suddenly a figure rushed out of the corner and rushed straight towards her!
The Bai family's guards were not good-looking, and the person was still a foot away from Bai Poria, so he was stopped by Bai Ah Wu and Bai Ah Liu at the same time. This person was very slippery, and he didn't touch the two of them, and in a flash, he changed his direction and rushed to Bai Poria again, his body was very fast, and Bai Poria didn't even see his face clearly.
Bai Peony and Bai Guo immediately stepped forward two steps in front of Bai Poria Cocos. The strange man rushed left and right several times and couldn't break through the Bai family's guards, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, turned over and jumped onto the roof of the inn.
At this time, Bai Poria saw clearly, it was an old beggar with gray hair and dirty facial features that could not be seen clearly!
Bai Chou and Mu Peilan also got out of the car to protect their daughter when they heard the voice, and Bai Chou said loudly: "I don't know which hero my predecessor is, why do you want to block my daughter's way?" ”
The old beggar was startled by the appearance of the white ugly couple, and then looked at the beautiful little face of Bai Poria, shook his head and said, "You are father and daughter?" How can it be? ”
Many people have similar questions, but there are very few people who dare to say them in person, and the three members of the Bai family are unhappy and ignore him.
The old beggar shook the rags on his body, and said with a smile while reaching out to catch lice: "The old beggar is the fourth Yue of the Relief Hall, but I want to ask the little girl for a few silver dollars to buy some food to satisfy her hunger, but your family is so vicious that they actually stopped the old beggar and didn't let him!" ”
There are no beggars in this world, but there is a similar organization called Jiqiao Tang, this organization has no leader, and it is controlled by the Council of Elders composed of seven elders, and this Yue Lao Si is the fourth in the Council of Elders.
Different from the beggars, the members of the Relief Hall are more extensive, and all the poor people who have no food and clothing are the target objects of their development. Inherited for hundreds of years, a huge and special force has been formed, not to mention the famous factions, even the emperor does not dare to take them lightly.
It is precisely because Jiqiao Tang has such a mass base that even a three-year-old doll in Qi Kingdom knows his reputation, and the seven elders in the door are even more well-known.
When the Bai couple heard his name, they looked at each other in amazement, but they didn't expect that in the barren land in the northwest, top figures in the martial arts would appear one after another in two days, first the martial arts alliance leader Hai Pushi, and then the four elders of the Relief Hall in front of them.
Bai Poria was relieved when she heard the name of the Relief Hall, although this organization was mainly composed of poor ghosts, it was still reasonable, and it strictly ordered the people in the door to bully ordinary people, and acted even more openly than many famous and decent people.
Villains are not easy to offend, but these poor ghosts who want to save face and claim to be gentlemen are not afraid of offending.
