Chapter 334: Like a Friend, Like an Enemy
It's naturally best to save him, if you can't save him, but give him an end, it's okay to kill people. At least he doesn't have to worry about revealing secrets and endangering his family.
Thinking of this, the old man looked forward to seeing Old Man Zhou when he passed by the Zhou Family Tavern.
Tonight, the treacherous old man felt that he had been unlucky, and prayed that he would have some good luck now that he would be able to get his wish.
He looked up, and when he saw that there were still two bright lanterns at the door of the Zhou family's tavern, the door was still open, and there was a faint sound of drinking and bragging.
The treacherous old man struggled, twisting his body frantically and frantically, and although his mouth was gagged, the sound that came out of his throat became more and more obvious and frightening in the night.
Chen Qingshan was startled, he didn't expect this old man to struggle at this time. It's just that there are so many people now, even if this old man struggles to loosen the rope, it is impossible to run away, after all, there are so many strong men around.
"You old man, be honest with me." Tang Yunshan scolded, dry, I don't know where the strength comes from?
The treacherous old man continued to struggle, and the whimpering sound coming out of his throat was even more unpleasant and harsh.
Liu Pan'er naturally heard it, she got out of the carriage and wanted to carefully observe why this old man behaved so abnormally.
Just when the ox cart was about to pass the Zhou family tavern, the old man Zhou, who was drinking happily and eating fennel beans, saw the old man Cai who was tied up.
At the beginning, they worked together in the Xishan Silver Mine, and they did the work of abducting and selling displaced people together. It was only seven years ago that he washed his hands of gold.
This old man Cai originally stopped doing it, but he was a good gambler, and he lost the gambling of the family foundation he saved, and he was still doing things that he couldn't see one after another over the years.
Now that Old Man Cai has been caught, it can be seen that he must have done something wrong and was caught by Mrs. Derui.
Old man Zhou suddenly got up from his chair, shouted babblingly, and ran out of the house, "Mrs. Drey, where did this bad guy come from?" Do you need our help when you come to our town to make a trip? ”
Old man Zhou's gaze swept over the old man Cai on the ox cart, and he was uneasy.
This old man Cai was arrested, what if he confessed to him?
He now has money, a shop, and a coquettish half-aged, and he has a good life, but he doesn't want such a good life to disappear like this.
Liu Pan'er squinted her eyes and looked at the indignant old man Zhou, "This old man is very bad, he actually abducted outsiders." Yuan Qing's friend and two sons were almost deceived and sold by this person, which is really bad. ”
Old man Zhou's gaze looked at the two strong young men with raw faces. scolded in my heart, this old man Cai, he only got the old man Zhao's family last time, and he got a lot of silver, how long has it been, and he came out to work again.
Now that it's in the hands of Mrs. Drey, it's going to be difficult.
Old Man Cai continued to struggle, looking at Old Man Zhou with fierce eyes.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou was about to dodge, but when he saw Liu Pan'er's inquiring gaze, he hurriedly scolded: "The traffickers deserve to die, and Mrs. must be severely punished." If these two strong guys disappear, how sad it will be for the father and mother in this family! ”
Liu Pan'er also nodded, her eyes were meaningful, "Yes, Uncle Zhou, I won't tell you, there are still things to deal with." You don't need to do these things, you can do business with peace of mind. These helpers I invited are not vegetarians, and if they dare to do bad things in my auspicious town, they will not be spared! Take it away and keep it under strict guard. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Tang Yunshan responded, and didn't understand why Madame stayed alone to talk nonsense with Old Man Zhou.
In the past, even if I spoke, I would say a sentence or two at most, but today I said so much.
The treacherous old man who was tied up was even more excessive, at the door of the Zhou family tavern, the struggle was even more severe, and the gaze that looked at the old man Zhou was also very complicated, like a friend and an enemy.
It's a bit inexplicable, and it's scary to watch.
Old man Zhou also hurriedly responded, "Yes, what Madam said is that you must be strictly guarded." ”
Old man Zhou is old and refined, and he doesn't have too many gaffes.
However, Liu Paner saw jealousy and horror from Old Man Zhou's eyes and expression.
This week, the old man's reaction was a bit big, and the other drinkers in the tavern also came out to see the excitement, and everyone talked about it, but none of them showed an expression like Old Man Zhou.
The treacherous old man continued to look at Old Man Zhou viciously, as if he had a grudge against Old Man Zhou.
Old man Cai was taken away, leaving Old Man Zhou standing in place and silent for a long time.
There were some people's discussions in my ears, "This seems to be the old man Cai of Caijiazhuang, my niece married into Caijiazhuang, and I once saw the old man Cai." Obviously, he looked at a very enthusiastic person, but he actually abducted the young man. ”
"That is, if you want to kidnap the big girl, the traffickers can sell it into the Qinglou and make a lot of money, what's the use of buying a strong young man?"
"Hehe, you don't know, do you? It is true that a strong young man cannot buy a green house, but selling it into a mine, especially the kind of dead deed, is not cheaper than selling it into a green house. ”
"Huh? Sold into the mine, there is such a thing! What is a Deed of Death? Is it the kind of person who can only stay in the mine for the rest of his life and never come back until he dies? ”
A person who seemed to know a little bit of the inside story drank too much, lowered his voice, and made a fool of himself, "Of course, I haven't seen it, but what I've heard is that there is such a kind of person who specializes in stunning and kidnapping outsiders and selling them into mines." These people who don't know each other well, even if they are gone, no one will report the crime. Even if the family members in the distance know that the person is gone, and then report the case, after such a long time, they will not be able to find out······"
Hearing the man who was drinking, he said this, which made Old Man Zhou feel cold all over his body.
It was originally a very secret thing, but it turned out that it had been known unconsciously. It can be seen that there have been a lot of displaced people in the Xishan Silver Mine recently, so that even ordinary people have heard the rumors.
Old man Zhou regrets it very much now, the last time he cooperated with Old Man Cai, it was not worth it for a little silver. If I knew this, it would have been better to stun the three members of the Zhao family, and then they would be buried in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one would know.
The three widows were in the counter, not daring to look up, and their legs were so frightened that they could only sit on the stool.
Although she lived with her remarried husband for only half a year, the three widows did not know much about Old Man Zhou. Seeing Old Man Zhou's reaction so strongly, she guessed that Old Man Zhou knew the old man who was tied up by Liu Paner.
Coupled with what Liu Paner said just now and what the drinkers in the tavern said, the third widow vaguely guessed the identity of the old man, who should have done the same business as Old Man Zhou.
Now that the old man has been caught, what if he confesses to Old Man Zhou?
The third widow was satisfied with her current life, but after thinking about it, she ended up pretending not to know anything. In case the old man sees her panic, even if he doesn't kill people, he will let her get involved.
It was a great crime to kill the head, and the three widows didn't want to get involved.
