Outside Liangshanbo, nearly 10,000 people are wielding hoes and digging in the dry river, and people carrying soil continue to carry the soil to the river bank to build a dam. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Huang Tuanlian, when is this day going to be the head!"

He Tao, who was wearing coarse linen clothes, tanned skin, and had calloused hands, looked at Huang An, who was digging in front of him, and asked, They have been working as coolies in Liangshan for more than half a year.

"How do I know!"

Huang An waved his hoe irritably.

The regimental training is a military general, and he can still adapt to this kind of physical work, but He Tao, a pampered and well-pampered arresting envoy, is different, and he can't endure this hardship at all.

"The people of Liangshan are cruel, I advise you not to think about running!"

Huang An suddenly said this, he knew that He Tao had the idea of escaping again.

"There are a lot of civilians here during this time, let's gather some people, it's not that there is no chance!"

He Tao said in a low voice, just a few days ago, Liang Shanbo hired a large number of disaster victims to help dig the river and repair the river embankment, and now the construction site is mixed together, as long as the two of them sum it up, gather some cronies, and it is not difficult to escape from the crowd.

"Where can you go? Jeju? What if the people of Liangshan chase after you? Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, they are strong and ruthless, do you really think Jeju is safe? ”

Huang An opened his mouth and said, Liangshan is a den of bandits, and the trick of assassination and sneak attack will definitely be used, and their escape is no different from looking for death.

"Also, we don't have cronies! Look at those soldiers, they have long been accustomed to working in Liangshan, they won't listen to our words anymore, and only those officers will still think about escaping, and you conspire with them? ”

Huang An stopped the hoe and said, the treatment of the box soldiers in the state capital is average, although the work of Liang Shanbo is hard, but the ordinary box soldiers don't care about this, they only care about whether they can eat enough, and Liang Shanbo makes them full every day, and also gives them wages as a ransom, and in two or three months, ordinary soldiers will be free, who will risk escaping at this time? ?

"Then we're going to do hard labor all the time?"

He Tao looked at his calloused hands and said helplessly, ordinary soldiers can be redeemed by work, because they are only worth ten yuan, but what about officers? The smallest officer is 300 guan, and the largest regimental training makes Huang An 30,000 guan, if he is redeemed by work, he will not be able to redeem it in ten lifetimes.

"Wait for the family to redeem it, as long as the money is given, Liang Shanbo will release him."

Huang An opened his mouth and said, in the past half a year, except for the Jeju Mansion at the beginning, some disabled people went back, and many of the other officers' families also ransomed people back with money privately.

"It's been more than half a year!"

He Tao was depressed for a while, he was not a person without furniture, it was not that he couldn't take out 10,000 yuan, but there was no movement at home, which made him suspect that his wife had embezzled the family property.

"Huang An, come up, your family has come to redeem!"

The nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang stood on the embankment and looked at Huang An below and shouted, now Tao Zongwang is in charge of the river dredging.

Huang An didn't react at first, thinking that there was some dirty work to arrange for him, but when he heard that the family came to redeem people, he stood in place in a daze, and He Tao and the officers next to him had different faces, with envy, jealousy, resentment, and annoyance...... All sorts of emotions are mixed in.

"Great! That's great! ”

Huang An threw the hoe and clenched his fists excitedly and roared, he finally didn't have to suffer this anymore.

"Huang Tuanlian!"

He Tao's face was half envious and half resentful. I envy Huang An that he is free, he can go back to enjoy the big fish and meat, and resent that his family didn't save him.

"Not up yet? Don't you want to go! ”

Tao Zongwang looked at Huang An, who was not moving, and shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Huang An ran to the river embankment.

"Supervisor Tao, I want to leave too, I have money, I'll go back and get the money!"

He Tao couldn't bear it anymore, Huang An was gone, he could still stay, and if the family didn't send the money, he would go back to get it in person!

As soon as He Tao called like this, the rest of the officers and officers rushed up to plead, they were all officials, and on weekdays, they were beautiful wives and concubines, so they didn't enjoy it. If you do hard labor every day, you can't be miserable, who doesn't want to go? Not to mention some money, even if you are willing to go bankrupt.

"And no one ransoms you with money, why should you go?"

Tao Zongwang looked at He Tao and said.

"Supervisor Tao, I have money at home, but no one has brought it, I'll go back and get it!"

He Tao hurriedly said.

"The rules of the rivers and lakes, pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other, if you don't have money, you will continue to work, and in another nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-three months, you will be free."

Tao Zongwang looked at He Tao and said, after deducting food and accommodation for a month, He Qing wanted 10,000 yuan to redeem himself, and he had only worked for seven months so far.

When he heard that he was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-three months, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his heart was desperate, and the officers and officers next to him looked at He Tao and shook their heads, which was too miserable, but when he thought that he would have to spend hundreds and thousands of months to redeem himself, he was bitter.

"Please, overseer Tao, if you want money, I'll give you as much as you want! It won't do me any good to work here, but I'll go back and get the money, and you can hire a thousand people to work for a year!" ”

He Tao knelt down and begged, and the rest of the people also begged, no one wanted to spend their lives on this construction site.

"Why is it so noisy? Don't work hard? The deadline is very tight, but it is going to snow recently, and it is not easy to dig if the riverbed is frozen. ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and walked slowly.

"Strategist, these people want to go home and get money to redeem themselves!"

Tao Zongwang looked at Xu Guanzhong and said.

"Will the person who went back send the money himself? Isn't that credit? We in Liangshan never accept credit. ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head.

"Good man, I swear to God!"

He Tao had no other way but to swear by God.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's really that the world is not ancient, people's hearts are sinister, and you can repay your debts if you have an IOU, not to mention your empty mouth and white teeth."

Xu Guanzhong looked at He Tao and the others with an embarrassed expression.

"Hero, we are sincere! We're definitely taking the money, a lot of money! ”

He Tao and the others repeatedly assured that at this time, there was nothing else to do but guarantee them.

"Look at you so sincerely, so let's go back one by one, if someone doesn't take the money, then don't blame us."

Xu Guanzhong finally shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, whoever dares to break the contract, we will cut him with a thousand knives!"

He Tao and others assured in unison.

"Remember that you are vows, and go and discuss the order yourself."

After Xu Guanzhong finished speaking, he left with Tao Zongwang.

"Strategist, why are you cheap these dog officers? Let them be coolies for the rest of their lives, and also taste the taste of being oppressed. ”

Tao Zongwang looked at Xu Guanzhong and said.

"Brother Tao, now we are not short of labor, and it is said that there are still victims from all over the country. Look at these people, they are not material for work, it is better to change the money to help the community solve the problem of money and food. ”

Xu Guanzhong pointed to the victims working on the riverbed, these people are all able to endure hardships, men, women and children go into battle together, this is the person who works.

"My brother is really a god, could it be that my brother has thought of this day a long time ago? That's why you keep these people for money at any time? ”

Tao Zongwang said with a smile.

"Haha!"

Xu Guanzhong also smiled, he was not sure if Sun Lei was an unknown prophet, but these people had been detained for more than half a year.
