In the innermost wooden house of the racecourse, Chen Jing did not avoid suspicion, but was generous, opened the door, and piled the thick silver taels on the table.

Chen Jing and the seven Zhuang people were young and strong, sitting in a row. Including Xing Xiaojiu, the faces of these seven people all showed hopeful looks.

There were women, children, and children, who poked their heads cautiously, and looked at them with the same surprises on their faces.

"I said before that every time I run with me, there will be silver." Chen Jing froze his voice. This time to go to Luzhou, it can be said that it is dangerous, if there are not these villagers, I am afraid that he would have died long ago.

"This time, each person will take ten taels."

The few people present, except for Xing Xiaojiu, all looked surprised. Ten taels, put it in the past, such as their small families, they didn't dare to imagine it at all. Even if you save for a few years, you may not be able to save it.

"Xiao Jiu, you take it first."

Xing Xiaojiu laughed, picked up ten taels neatly, and stuffed them into his robe.

The rest of the people still couldn't believe it.

"Hu Dong Hu Xi, Li Heng, Zhou Yong, and Zhao San Hu Zhi. All six of you, take one of them. ”

"Thank you, owner!"

Outside the house, some of the villager's relatives were already crying with joy.

"The silk worn by the rich, the better ones, cost three taels and one horse, and a house facing the street also needs two or three hundred taels. You have also seen it, I, Chen Jing, don't know the ability to kill, but the ability to make money will not be less. ”

"Lao Tzu was born poor, but it doesn't mean that you have to be so poor for a lifetime. Your son, your grandson, in the future, will buy a good house and open a few good shops because of the money you earn, so that the people of the world will be safe, and they will no longer have to go to the wasteland to cultivate the fields, nor do they have to rush to scoop up those soup and rice. ”

Chen Jing stopped his voice and looked at the few Zhuang people in front of him. Xing Xiaojiu needless to say, but what he wants is to leave Hu Dong and Hu Xi in the racecourse.

The way to Luzhou to lick blood is enough to prove that these men are all hanging eggs, and they can grow slowly with him.

"In this world, others will only laugh at the starving dog, but who dares to laugh at the man with a severed head, how many brothers, are you willing to follow me Chen Jing?"

"I want to follow the owner!" This time, the seven young men stood up in unison, their faces resolute, and they clenched their fists steadily at Chen Jing.

"Okay."

Chen Jing smiled. Finally, he has the first batch of teams that dare to follow him all the way.

……

"Buying a horse?" A few days later, the fat man who came to the racecourse to deliver rice heard Chen Jing's question, and the whole person was stunned.

"You also saw that in my horse farm, I ran your round of business, but I lost a lot."

Not to mention the other horses for the time being, one of the nine Yongzhou stallions died, and another one was given to Tai Shiqing, and now the number of horses in the entire horse farm has plummeted.

"There is no need for Yongma, and there is no problem with the better southern horses. Does Master Ma know the place? ”

Ma Fatzi's face was sad, "You also know the little owner, Ping'an Town is still sealed, and in the nearby villages, where is there any land to sell horses, at most it is to sell two old pack horses, and the little owner will definitely not look down on it." ”

Chen Jing was a little helpless, it seemed that he could only find a way when the time came.

"By the way, Master Ma, during this time, what is the situation in Ping'an Town?"

"Not that damn ghost yet? There is a commotion everywhere, small proprietor, I have heard that this lockdown is to arrest a big man of the Restoration Party. ”

"Oh? Can you elaborate on Mr. Ma? ”

"I've heard that the man seems to have come from the south, and he has a master with him. The man was hated, and his head was worth a thousand taels of gold. ”

Chen Jing nodded. That great gentleman, with his own strength, presided over the reform of the law in the decaying dynasty, and it is normal for him to be hated by others.

"Master Ma, where did you hear this?"

"You know my cousin, right?"

"Ning Rong?"

"That's him. Trapped in the city and gambling with people, I lost another 3,000 taels, so I entrusted a whistle scout to send me a letter, and I could only go and make up the money. When he brought the money to the city gate, he heard him talk a few times. ”

Chen Jing's eyes moved, "Master Ma, have you heard about Xia Zhutou?" ”

"The Xia Zhutou who cut off the tiger's head with a knife?"

A few years ago, there was a big insect outside the city that came down the mountain to hurt people, and it was Xia Chong who led the men and horses to besiege and kill this evil beast. When he was stabbed in the head, he actually cut half an inch into the tiger's skull.

"Exactly."

To Chen Jing's disappointment, Ma Fatzi shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." But my cousin-in-law seems to have said that the situation in the city is not peaceful, and there are also the Restoration Party hiding, and under the fighting, several people have died. ”

Chen Jing frowned.

Xia Chong is like a brother to him. To put it mildly, at the beginning, he was pulling Xia Chong's tiger skin in order to gain a firm foothold in Ping'an Town.

Moreover, he really didn't want a clean person like Xia Chong to die in the filthy world.

"Master Ma, can you do me a favor and go to investigate again? If so, I will give a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Then Xia Zhutou, what does it have to do with the little owner?"

"It's my brother."

Ma Fatzi hesitated, "You can give fifty taels, the whistle scout sits on the ground and starts the price, and a mouth will cost fifty taels." How much rice did I have to sell before to get these fifty taels? ”

"Master Ma, how does this work?"

Ma Fatzi smiled, "Although I, Ma Cheng, am greedy for money, but I can't do anything, my ancestors have always taught me this, let me guard the tenant field and granary." Some time ago, the small owner took the big guy to fight bandits, and I also figured out a lot of things. Don't hide it from the small proprietor, I have already waived the tenant rent for half a year to those tenants in the village. Hehe, those villagers are so happy that they are clamoring for me to set up a shrine. ”

"I don't lie to you, when I was young, I really wanted to be the champion of martial arts, I wanted to learn martial arts, and I was a ranger at the worst, riding a fast horse, and punishing evil and promoting good with a sword. But I later found out that after inheriting the family business, I was a squire landlord who dominated the land. That's when I slapped myself twice. ”

Chen Jing laughed. The fat man also laughed with him.

"Old Ma, you're such an interesting person."

Seeing the small proprietor's bandits, it was like drinking a bowl of spirits, and his heart was very comfortable. If one day, the little proprietor still has to do these things, my old horse, I can't say that I have to do it with me. ”

"If you can not touch these things, then you will not be touched, you are not like me, I am a person who fights for my life with God."

The fat man laughed dryly.

"The little proprietor will wait, and I will go to ask someone to help inquire about a round of news."

"There is labor."

The fat man turned to take his leave, moved his bloated body, and boarded the carriage with difficulty. It's only half a mile away, and he can't walk anymore.

The carriage drove out.

"That year, I Ma Cheng was nineteen, studied under the Luojia Martial Arts Hall in the capital, learned to return to the sect with one hand, once singled out with a sword, killed two old people in the north of the city, strong, strong-"

Chen Jing retracted his gaze and stood alone in front of the racecourse. After only a while, with the dark clouds surging in the sky, it was another late spring rain, fluttering and sprinkling, falling all over the world.
