Chao Gai watched the two walk away, and the smile on his face retracted. Snorted coldly, turned around and looked at the door of the secret room: "Jialiang, what do you think of the two of you?" ”

"Mercenary, philistine." With the sound of clear laughter, Wu Yong pushed the door out and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really wise." ”

"Hey, where, I just happened to see the two of them plotting against each other!" Chao Gai waved his hand, he wanted to snub the two of them and squeeze them out, but he could use the waste first. It's like delivering a letter over a long distance, and the drudgery is left to them.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention!

Wu Yong groaned slightly, stroked his beard and sighed: "Hey, my brother's dream is really true." ”

When Chao Gai heard it, he knew that Wu Yong would be wrong, but he didn't explain. picked up a letter from the table and put it in his arms, pulled Wu Yong and said: "Jialiang, I should also go, if it goes well, I will be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" As for the field, I leave it to you to bother, and you must do it beautifully. ”

"Brother, don't worry, this matter will definitely be known to everyone!" Wu Yong repeatedly assured.

Chao Gai talked to Wu Yong again, and got Zhuang Ke to report before leaving the house. He was accompanied by only a few guards, as well as roast sheep in a food box, more than a dozen fat chickens and ducks, and a few jars of fifty-year-old wine.

Last night, I had a long talk with Wu Yong, in order to show sincerity. Chao Gai thought that he would bring letters and wine and meat to Shijie Village to visit Nguyen Thiong Sanxiong in person.

Originally, the three dragons in the water had a strong personality, Ruan Xiaoer lost the battle of Wulongling in the expedition to Fangla, and he was unwilling to be captured and humiliated and killed himself.

And he is loyal to Chao Gai. There is even a saying that Song Jiang had sores on his back, that is, the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu secretly used puffer fish poison to avenge Chao Gai. Ruan Xiaoqi's appearance in a dragon robe is also a helpless protest.

was originally in the trajectory of his own team, and now Chao Gai has the opportunity to go naturally in person. skillfully straddled the horse and raised the whip, leading the guards to throw stone to the village.

Compared to the last time I couldn't ride a horse, this time I had the leisure to look around. Leaving Dongxi Village, in addition to the barren mountains and wild mountains, there are ancient woods and forests along the way, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. It is no wonder that most of the poor people in this era have been to the county seat at most, and they have never left their hometown at all.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have that condition!

It's too far from home, and there will be beasts without strongmen, and it is estimated that they will die on the way!

Most of those who dare to walk outside will be copied a few times.

Chao Gai felt a lot of emotion on the horse, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles! It seems that if you have time in the future, you will have to go out and walk around to make friends with heroes.

A few people are good horses in the north under their crotches, beating horses and whipping. From the morning to the morning, in the afternoon before the sun has set west, we have arrived at the destination - Shijie Village.

When he came to the vicinity of the village, Chao Gai felt that this was a good place to go!

In the distance is Shijie Lake, with rivers and reeds. Except for a small half of the village on the outskirts, most of the villagers' houses are located on dry land one after another, surrounded by rivers, which cannot be reached by boat.

Moreover, this body of water is connected to 800 miles of water, as long as you have a boat and are bold. If you commit something and do something, you are not afraid of officers and soldiers coming to catch it. As long as you manage it well, you can definitely become a bridgehead in the future.

Chao Gai really has the potential to be a robber, and he thinks so much when he sees the terrain. To avoid bumping into the villagers, he ordered to dismount and walk into the village, and when he inquired and learned that the Ruan brothers were in the lake, he asked several guards to lead the horses to the village store to stay overnight.

He led people to the lake with his things, trying to find a fishing boat to ferry. I didn't go far along the fork of the port, and I happened to see a fishing boat fishing. No matter how the guards shouted, the old fishermen just wouldn't ferry.

Even if you give money, the old guy won't come!

Chao Gai knew more or less about the turbulent years, and the village was very united in order to prevent the invasion of thieves. Especially near the edge of the water, the fishermen are probably organized. It is estimated that many people have been on guard since they stepped into Shijie Village.

He simply took out the certificate issued by the government, and the official relied on the guide. It also explains where the people came to visit the deceased, revealing the food box and the wine jar. Finally, the fishing boat lurked to the shore with the promise of payment.

"Hey, it's not easy!" Chao Gai sighed with a heavy heart. If the world is peaceful and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, how can there be such a situation? He is a strange face, and Wu Yong's situation is different.

After the old fisherman put down the plank, he looked at the three people on the shore, his eyes fell on Chao Gai, and when they got on the boat, he smiled and asked, "Great official, where are you going?" ”

"Uncle, go to the house of the second brother Ruan." Chao Gai replied.

"Erlang's family? Stand firm and go. The old fisherman nodded, and with his habitual prolonged voice, he shook his head and drove into the reeds.

"Hehe, the old man was born in Shijie Village......"

The boats shuttled through the forks of the river, and the old fishermen also hummed fishing songs.

Chao Gai looked at this old man with dark skin due to perennial labor, and inexplicably thought of his grandfather, who was a hunter, with the same dark skin and the same forehead lines.

Unfortunately, the past is a cloud of smoke!

After all, I have to stay in this world, doing nothing or being vigorous!

Except for the deep singing, no one on the boat spoke.

Fishing boats twist and turn in these waters, and I don't know how far they have gone. After about half a pillar of incense, the speed dropped suddenly. The old fisherman's singing also stopped abruptly, and there was a faint noise in front of him. And it's getting louder and louder.

"Zhai Lao Wu, this fish is very useful, don't sell it."

"Yes, don't make it difficult for others, the money will be returned in two days."

"No, today I want this fish, converted into two dollars."

……

Chao Gai was suddenly awakened by the sound of an argument and hurriedly followed the prestige.

I don't know when I paddled into the very wide river, surrounded by more than a dozen fishing boats of different sizes in front of me. The fishermen were watching a few men arguing and sighing.

"The big golden carp of more than 20 catties has not been seen for a year or two."

"Well, this is a rarity, more than the price of mutton, and worth several dollars."

"Hey, isn't it? Who told those two boys to love to gamble, it is estimated that they can't keep it. ”

……

"I don't know who was lucky." The old fisherman sighed enviously, he originally wanted to go around, but when he looked at the crowd, he exclaimed: "Hey, big official, isn't it Erlang and his two brothers who are arguing with people?" ”

"Then why don't you hurry up?" Chao Gai rolled his eyes angrily. Looking at the crowd arguing in front of them, their eyes finally locked on the three men.

They were about the same size, seven feet in size, wrapped in a rag turban, wearing oiled silk trousers, dark skin, knotted upper body muscles, and barefoot. The facial features are also good, but they look vicious. The appearance of the three of them is somewhat similar, and they are arguing with a few men.

The three heroes of the Nguyen Thi gathered?

Chao Gai was surprised and delighted when he saw this scene, and remembered that Wu Yong came forward to move Sanruan in the original trajectory. Only the boss is at home, and the remaining two are pulled out of the casino. How can I be so lucky, and my brothers get together.

Could it be that this is fate? He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, seeing that something seemed to have happened in this posture, and he just came to the aid to make friends.

The old fisherman was a very qualified captain, and while rowing the oars and rocking the oars, he said that Shijie Village, a village of more than 300 households, had a hotel and a gambling house in the dark. That Zhai Wu is the owner of the gambling house, and he also knows people in the city.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi love to gamble, and almost all the money from fishing and selling on weekdays is used on this. The more you lose, the more you gamble, the more you gamble, the more you lose, and the family lives in poverty. If it weren't for a big brother to help, most of them would have become flower beggars.

The old fisherman looked like he hated iron but not steel, and sighed at the two offspring. Chao Gai knew that the two guys were addicted to gambling, and he felt the same way. When the boat approached, the tall man looked up a little and saw the cause of the dispute, the large carp covered in golden scales bouncing in the barrel. Not only is it dazzling, but it's also quite fat!

Both sides of the quarrel are red-eared, and their arms are rolled up their sleeves.

"Zhai Lao Wu, you'd better not move, otherwise don't blame the master for being unkind." Ruan Xiaoqi, one of the Ruan brothers, is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his temperament is impatient and his tone is very impulsive. He grabbed the harpoon from the boat and stared at a fat man.

"What's up? Ruan Xiaoqi, the fifth master will take it, you still dare to beat people? The fat man in the round-necked green robe was none other than Zhai Wu, the owner of the blockade, and pouted disdainfully. Waving his hand, he motioned for a few followers behind him to go up and get the fish.

"You dare?" A few followers wanted to step forward, how could Ruan Xiaowu let his brother suffer? picked up the harpoon and shouted, seeing that the two groups of people were about to fight.

The oldest man grabbed the two brothers, glared at him as if shooting tens of thousands of cold lights, but he didn't open his mouth but forced a few people to not dare to take a half step forward.

This man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a burly body, a fleshy beard, and a tuft of yellow hair on his chest. The eyes shot a cold light, majestic.

Good looks! Chao Gai saw it and sighed secretly! The eldest of the three heroes of the Ruan family has the strongest martial arts, as powerful as a tiger, and is known as the Tai Sui of Lidi, and he is really the demon king of the world.

Let's take a look at the other two brothers, the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, and the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi. The face is full of meat, the eyes are round, and the appearance is more fierce than the other. Fortunately, the fishermen knew the three brothers very well, and most people were definitely afraid.

This appearance alone is a good man, but it's a pity that a penny is difficult to beat a hero.

"Ruan Xiaoer, don't scare people, killing people to pay for your life, it's natural to repay debts." Zhai Wu was stunned, but he had the courage to shout.

"The surrounding folks came to testify. They lost all their gambling money and borrowed from me, they owed me money, I came to ask for the debt, and I didn't have the money to pay me back, is it wrong for me to use this fish to settle the account? The lawsuit went to the county office, and I said the same. ”

"The money will be returned in two days, we won't ...... this fish" Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi scolded angrily. It's just that before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by Ruan Xiaoer, looked directly at Zhai Wu and said in a deep voice: "This big golden carp should be sold, how much can you give?" ”

"Didn't you say that? Convert it into two dollars! Zhai Wu stretched out two fingers.

"Hahaha......" Ruan Xiaoer laughed when he heard this, and there were boos around him.

Chao Gai also learned from the old fishermen that ordinary fish are not worth a few dollars, usually a few pennies a catty. However, the more important the fish is, the more valuable it is. In particular, this kind of golden carp, which is more than 20 catties, is expensive because of its rarity.

The big carp weighing more than ten catties is comparable to the price of beef and mutton!

And this one is worth five times no matter how it is sent to the restaurant!

And right now, this Zhai Wu wants to buy it, and no one will sell it if he changes it.
