Qian Sanming saw Zhao Lin carrying something in his hand, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face, "Are you here to inquire about your brother?" Your dad came yesterday......"

Zhao Lin said with a smile: "I didn't rush to say it in advance, I found a job in the county town and made some money." ”

"Thank you for taking care of my family in the past two years, and I came to visit."

"This is the flower cloth I bought for my sister-in-law, and I just happened to make two clothes when spring started."

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhao Lin deliberately raised his voice.

Qian Sanming refused: "Folks, what are you doing with sending things......

"Who?"

At this moment, a slightly chubby woman walked to the entrance of the courtyard and saw the flower cloth in Zhao Lin's hand, and her eyes lit up.

"It's Zhao Lin, right? I haven't seen you in a year, and I've grown so tall! Qian Laosan, how do you let people stand outside and talk? ”

"Hello sister-in-law!"

Zhao Lin crossed Qian Sanming and handed over the things directly to the woman.

The woman weighed it, smiled and said, "Come into the inner room, it's cold outside." ”

Qian Sanming had no choice but to close the door and follow up.

"You're chatting slowly."

The woman brought the tea and went back to her room.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Lin spoke: "Brother Qian, now make up for the autumn grain, can you let my brother out?" ”

Qian Sanming took a sip of the teacup, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's one thing to go in, it's another thing to get people out, and you should have heard about the new county order." ”

"This is the ...... It's not easy to do! ”

Zhao Lin heard him say that it was not easy to do, not that it could not be done, so he knew it in his heart, and asked directly: "So that you can release people with enough money?" ”

Qian Sanming took a moment in his hand and glanced at him sideways, "Brother Zhao, I won't hide it from you, except for the big crime of murder and arson, there is nothing in the yamen that silver can't do." ”

"There is actually a way, but the money spent can't be afforded at all, so I told your father that I can't do it, but I didn't mean to deceive."

Zhao Lin asked: "The county is not allowed to release people, how to dredge it specifically?" ”

Qian Sanming smiled slightly, "The county lord gave a death order, but what if it is a person who is seriously ill and about to die?" ”

"You can't work left and right, but dying inside is very different from dying outside."

"Prisoners die when they die, hard labor is also the rule of the people, the county is not good to do too much, always send people out to see their families for the last time."

Zhao Lin understood, and said very simply: "Brother Qian, you can count it, how much money can be used to operate this matter." ”

Qian Sanming stretched out a fist, "Ten taels of silver!" ”

Zhao Lin's brows jumped, "So many? ”

Qian Sanming said: "I can only say that your brother is unlucky, what can be done with one or two pieces of silver in previous years has increased tenfold this year." ”

Zhao Lin was silent for a while and asked, "Who is this silver for?" ”

Qian Sanming is also from a poor background and has a good reputation in the countryside, but he must ask where so much money goes.

"The priest, the chief, the warden, the bookkeeper...... It is necessary to deal with it up and down, after all, people are also responsible. ”

Qian Sanming decided that Zhao Lin couldn't take out the money, but since he accepted the gift, he patiently explained the matter clearly.

"If you make money, people will definitely be able to come out, right?"

"That's for sure, if you don't do anything if you collect money, who will send money to the yamen in the future?"

"Thank you, Brother Qian! I'll come back when I have enough money. ”

Zhao Lin got up and said goodbye.

"Well said, well said." Qian Sanming only took his last sentence as a deaf ear.

Can you take out ten taels of silver, but you can't pay the autumn grain at the beginning?

……

"Brother Zhao, you've been working at the docks for half a month, right? Why don't you stop all day, anxious to earn money and marry a daughter-in-law? ”

"Young man, your body is important, and you will understand when you reach the age of your uncle."

When Zhao Lin came to the dock, it was close to noon, and several familiar Lifu teased.

"I see that a few of you are quite idle, so you might as well go home and rest."

Zhao Lin had something in his heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile in response.

"Don't grind, the wooden ship is coming!" The overseer shouted.

The Leaflets rushed to the shore, and in groups of five or six, they carried the neatly stacked logs onto the boat.

"Brother Zhao, let's go."

A few Lifu who were gossiping with Zhao Lin just now pulled him to transport wood.

Zhao Lin works sincerely, does not steal and cheat, and when encountering this kind of multi-person cooperation, the husbands love to be with him.

After being busy for half an hour, the wooden boat was full and drove away, Zhao Lin looked at a small handful of bamboo sticks in his hand, and thought: "If you want to save enough ten taels of silver at this rate, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the Year of the Monkey." ”

Although it is hard to be a husband by yourself, it is much easier than that of my brother. The food and housing conditions over there are extremely poor, and if there is an illness or something, it will kill people.

Thinking of his parents' eager eyes, Zhao Lin gritted his teeth, and the shadow of Zhou Paotou flashed in front of him.

"It looks like I'm going to have to do it if I don't do it!"

Zhao Lin decided to ask about the killing of Xiong Zhen clearly, and if there was something to do, he would accept Zhou Paotou's invitation.

He didn't go directly to Zhou Paotou, after all, he had just rejected someone two days ago, and now changing his words would make people feel capricious and look down on people.

Zhao Lin looked around the dock and saw Zhou Paotou squatting not far away munching on a burrito, his eyes drifting over from time to time.

This guy hasn't given up yet.

Zhao Lin pretended not to see it, and walked to the street to buy a stack of cooking cakes and two large slices of salted meat.

Returning to his original position, he finished the food in a hurry, patted his belly, leaned on the stone pier and pretended to sleep, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhou Pao's head was quietly moving to this side.

"Brother Pao."

Zhou Paotou moved closer and closer, and Zhao Lin suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"Hey, such a coincidence, Brother Zhao is also there."

Zhou Paotou made a surprised expression, as if he had just seen Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin was almost amused by his clumsy acting skills, and held back a smile and asked, "Isn't Brother Pao going to kill that bear?" Why are you still working on the docks? ”

"It's not that I haven't found the right manpower, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to carry a big bag every day."

Zhou Paotou saw that he did not shy away from it, and immediately poured bitter water.

Zhao Lin smiled: "There are so many hunters in the mountains, how can there be no helpers?" ”

"The hunt was missed twice, and they were so scared that few of them were willing to take any more risks."

"Besides, that bear is wearing armor, and it can't be of great use if there are many people, so there must be a strong man with a gun."

Zhou Paotou said, his eyes looking at Zhao Lin again.

Zhao Lin avoided his eyes and asked, "Then why don't you ask a martial artist for help, didn't you say that there are masters in the sect boxing gym?" ”

"Hey, I'm going to be moved!"

Zhou Paotou's head shook like a rattle, "Even if I have a way and find a master to help, the money from Xiong Zheng's sale may not be worth the honorarium, wouldn't I toss it in vain?" ”

"It turns out that in addition to avenging your father, you also want money."

Zhao Lin secretly said in his heart, and changed the topic: "Last time you told me that there are three treasures on the bear, how much can it be sold for?" ”

As soon as Zhou Paotou heard that there was a door, he hurriedly said: "The market price is twenty taels of bear skin, thirty taels of bear paws, and the bear bile depends on the color, there are gold gall, iron gall, and cauliflower gall, the better the condition, the higher the price, how can there be one or twenty taels." ”

"Xiong Zhen is an outlier among bears, and the price can still go up."

Zhao Lin thought for a moment and asked, "How many people are there now?" ”

Zhou Paotou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Three, the other two are masters who are proficient in archery and have good skills." ”

Zhao Lin didn't speak for a long time after listening, and Zhou Paotou stared at him nervously.

"I want to know, how to divide the money from beating Xiong Zhen?"

After a long time, Zhao Lin finally said.

Zhou Paotou's expression became serious, "I started at the beginning, I know where Xiong Zhen is hiding, and I will take 30% according to the rules; Brother Zhao took the lead and also took 30%, and the two of them took a total of 30%. ”

"The remaining one percent depends on performance, and whoever performs well will be given to whom, how about it?"

Zhao Lin silently estimated that according to the minimum of sixty taels, he could also get eighteen taels.

This money can not only save my brother, but also pay for three months of martial arts learning, and I can't help but be very moved.

Zhou Paotou observed his words and looked at his feelings, thinking that Zhao Lin would agree immediately, but he heard him: "Didn't you say that you have a foolproof method?" ”

"What's the idea?"

Zhou Paotou was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother is really cautious, in this case, let's find a secluded place and listen to me slowly." ”
