Chapter 89: Domineering Gu Poison
Scolding and scolding, seeing that the big man was dead and hopeless, Uncle Li had no choice but to look at the remaining big men and shouted: "What, do you want to follow this guy to hell, or do you choose to cooperate with us?" ”
When those big men saw Yang Yi and Wei Ergou shooting so black, they were all frightened, where did they dare to resist, they dropped the knives and guns in their hands one by one, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Next, Uncle Li asked Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to use knives to force those big men to open the boxes on the car, which were indeed slowly silver ingots, and occasionally some gold ingots and jewels and jade.
Looking at the yellow and white things shining in the moonlight, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's eyes were straight, and they couldn't wait to take off their pants immediately, but when they saw the disdainful eyes of the peach wood demon, the two brothers blushed, and stepped aside in a sneer, pretending to be nothing.
The strange thing is that in the face of the touching yellow and white things, Li Shu'er turned a blind eye, and after wrinkling his brows and thinking for a while, he began to interrogate those big men.
According to them, they all belonged to a mysterious organization called Midako, and the deceased man was called Cao Butong, who was the leader of these people, and was responsible for transporting the unenshrined silver taels of the Midasect branches in various parts of Shanxi to the city of Cangzhou, Zhili, and then handed over to a mysterious person to deal with. And as Li Shu'er expected, among these silvers, there are indeed Cao Tong's offerings, accounting for about one-third of the total.
As soon as he heard that the final destination of the silver turned out to be Cangzhou, Uncle Li'er raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many times have you followed this Cao Butong to Cangzhou City?" ”
"Basically, I have to go once or twice a month, and it seems to be urging over there lately, and I have run three or four times this month." A big man muttered.
"Three or four trips, that's the amount of tens of thousands of taels of silver, why do you need so much silver in this Cangzhou City?" Uncle Li twisted his beard with his hand and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"Oh, I see that you are all strong men, what are you not doing well, you have to do this kind of headless business with this Cao Butong, don't you know that according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, smuggling silver is equivalent to selling smuggled salt, and it is necessary to be decided?" Uncle Li thought for a while, and suddenly said sharply.
"The old man doesn't know, we were originally all a family of Zhuang who kept to themselves, but the government paid too many taxes, since the fight with the long hair, all kinds of taxes are as many as cow hair, even if we sell our wives and children, we can't afford it, and then someone told us that as long as we enter the Mida Sect, the government will not dare to collect taxes, a inquiry, it is indeed the case, so our whole village has entered the Mida Sect, and sure enough, the original fierce as a tiger and wolf The messenger heard that he was a member of the Mida Sect, and he really didn't dare to come, Therefore, there are more and more people who believe in Midasianism. Also, the church regularly gives us a pill, and after taking it, we will not get sick, and there is such a good thing, which one is not dead set on joining the church. "When a big man mentions the so-called Mida Sect, he can't help but show a sincere expression of reverence and obsession on his face, which shows the depth of poisoning.
"Mida Sect, Mida Sect, why have I never heard of it, isn't this the same thing as the God Worship Sect, it all means to gather people to make trouble, and besides, the power of this Mida Sect has developed so fast, and it has surpassed the long-haired posture, for the people who are already in dire straits, isn't this even worse?" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Taomu Demon who looked ignorant, and said worriedly.
"Uncle, you have to worry a lot, now it is the world of people who love Xinjueluo's family, and the Tartars surnamed Aixinjueluo should be worried, do you have a dime to do with a poor Taoist priest, you think too much, or think about how to divide these real money, hehe" Wei Ergou's eyes couldn't help but look at the wooden boxes of the four carts again, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile.
"Stupid, you recognize silver in your eyes, if you dare to take this silver on the road together, I guarantee that if you can't get to Cangzhou, you will be exposed to the wilderness, if you don't believe it, you can try." Uncle Li glanced at Wei Ergou and snorted coldly.
Of course, Wei Ergou knew how dangerous it was to carry such a conspicuous convoy through the city in this chaotic world, but the question was, why did these big men go all the way from Shanxi to Cangzhou City in Zhili, and what did they rely on?
As soon as he saw Wei Ergou's confused eyes, Uncle Li knew what this fat man of the rich second generation was thinking, smiled approvingly, and immediately looked at those big men and asked, "What kind of road do you take to Cangzhou on weekdays, say." ”
The men looked at each other for a while, and discussed in a low voice, and then one of them looked at Uncle Li and said, "We usually walk on a secluded path to drive away corpses......
"What? Chase out the corpses? Are you lying and looking at the realm? This is Shanxi, not Xiangxi, and you are still driving out corpses, who are you going to be, you can be reliable with calves, okay? As soon as he heard what those men said about driving out the corpses, Wei Ergou blew up at that time, and he was about to collect them with a machete.
"Wait, wait, what they said, eighty percent is true......" Uncle Li stopped Wei Ergou, covered his cheeks and thought for a few minutes, and said something that made Wei Ergou stunned.
"Old man Mingjian, what we said is true, in the past few months, we have followed Cao Butong to take the path that the corpse chaser said, because along the way we hit the sharp and stayed in the hotel, and we all lived in the dead corpse inn, so what the villain said is the truth." The man knelt down at Uncle Li and swore an oath to show that he was not lying.
"Think about it, that Cao Butong carries so much silver, if you take the thoroughfare, even if those robbers don't come to rob the darts, the checkpoints of the government along the way are continuous, they transport silver privately, even if they bribe all the way through, and when they get to Cangzhou City, I'm afraid most of this silver will have to be consumed, therefore, they must have another secret passage to Cangzhou City, I also guess based on this, I believe that what the man said is true, let's give it a try, how?" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi and the Peach Wood Demon, who had not spoken, and asked.
"I agree with my uncle's opinion, if we take the avenue, we will inevitably encounter the Taiping army and the Qing army fighting on the way and other messy things, if we run into a state and county gate closed again, we will be even more distant if we want to return to Cangzhou City. What these people are talking about, I feel more like a corpse to cover people's eyes and ears, but in fact it is a secret passage for smuggling, if this is the case, its security is higher, what do you think? Without waiting for the peach wood demon to speak, Yang Yi took the lead in expressing support for Uncle Li's opinion.
In fact, as soon as he heard that these big men were transporting silver taels to Cangzhou City, Yang Yi's heart was about to sink, because from the uncertain expression on Li Shu'er's face after hearing about the Mida Sect, Yang Yi had already guessed that this Mida Sect was a leftist cult, and why did these cultists transport a large amount of silver to Cangzhou City, there must be an ulterior conspiracy in it, so Yang Yi, who had never been concerned about Lu Linger's safety, couldn't return to Cangzhou City immediately at this moment, and naturally expressed great support for Li Shu'er's idea of winning in danger.
The peach wood demon is also a long-standing son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and seeing that Yang Yi has no different opinions, he also agrees. And that Wei Ergou has always been bolder than Lao Wogua, and the goddess in his heart has already approved Uncle Li's proposal, of course he is unconditionally obedient to please the goddess.
Seeing that the internal thinking was unified, Uncle Li clapped his hands, looked at those big men and said: "Since this is the case, then let's continue to hurry, but this main thing has to be changed, that is, everything has to be under my command, understand?" ”
Seeing the suspicious eyes of those big men, Li Shu'er smiled slightly, took the machete from Wei Ergou's hand, walked to the corpse of a dead big man, and with one hand, he broke a hole in the corpse's chest with great difficulty, and then beckoned those big men and Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to go over and watch, the peach wood demon was disgusted by the bloody scene, frowned and walked to the side to stroke the green mule.
Those big men walked up to the corpse with Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, just as they didn't know what Uncle Li was doing earlier, and when they looked at it again, they were all startled, only to see that all the organs in the corpse had turned into stone-like substances.
"You are all fooled, the so-called divine pill that Namida taught you to take is actually an ancient Gu poison, you, as well as your wives, children and villagers, after taking this Gu poison for a long time, the internal organs in your body will mutate and gradually become stones, so that of course you will not get sick, but over time, these Gu poisons will not only turn your internal organs into stones, but even your body and limbs will slowly turn into stones, and when the time comes, you will be the same as that Cao Butong, Do you want to be an emotionless, irrational, bloodthirsty stone demon who is manipulated by others to kill? Uncle Li threw down the machete in his hand, looked at the big men with dead faces and cold sweats, and asked in a stern tone.
"Old and old immortals, we are all fooled, please, please, save us, and our wives and children at home......" The living example was in front of him, and those big men didn't believe it, plus they witnessed Cao Butong's habit of killing people without blinking and eating people, knowing that what Uncle Li said was true, they couldn't help but kneel down around Uncle Li, begging Uncle Li to turn them and their relatives back to normal people.
"I don't want to deceive you, to be honest, at the moment, I really don't have any good way to solve this Gu poison, I can only take you back to Cangzhou City first, and try to suppress it with the talisman seal, as for whether it is successful or not, I don't dare to pack a ticket." You know, this kind of Gu poison is really too domineering! Uncle Li took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.
