Chapter 81: The Story of Zhu Dashanren
Zhu Dashan looked at the two people who were a little hesitant in front of him, and smiled proudly: "Sure enough, you pretentious chivalrous people, for the sake of this innocent child, you don't dare to attack me easily, in this way, even if your knife skills are superb, it is useless, you can only become a fish on the chopping board, let me slaughter." ”
Zhang Fatzi gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's so despicable! You actually used these innocent children as a shield, and you still raised them for so long, and you get along day and night, don't you have feelings?"
Zhu Dashan smiled and said: "Exactly, don't forget, I was originally a killer, what kind of feelings do you have to talk about with me? What's more, I have raised these children for so long, it is time for them to return them to me." ”
Ye Feng snorted coldly: "Even if you can kill us today, what if you are not afraid of waking up the other children and letting everyone see your true face? You can still kill all these dozens or hundreds of children and block the mouths of this leisurely crowd?"
Zhu Dashan laughed and said: "Don't worry, these children have all been drugged by me, and they will not wake up even if there is thunder and lightning in less than an hour." As long as I kill you and erase all traces, I will still be a great and good man admired by everyone in the eyes of everyone in the future, and who will suspect that I am a traitor?"
Ye Feng immediately understood why there was such a noise here, none of the children who were sleeping in the courtyard were woken up to watch the excitement, and he also understood why the child was caught in the hands of Zhu Dashanren, but he was still drowsy and confused, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.
Zhang Fatzi said hatefully: "You try!"
Ye Feng blinked and asked calmly: "You raise so many children every year, it must cost a lot, right? Seeing that you are not the kind of person who is overflowing with love and stresses conscience, naturally you will never do such a good deed because of your kindness, what is your purpose?"
Zhu Dashan looked at Ye Feng and said with a smile: "Ye Gongzi is really smart, and he reacted so quickly. I know that your hearts must be full of questions at this moment, so I will tell you all this story, and let you go to the palace of Hades, so that you will not be a fool. ”
Zhang Fatzi snorted angrily, thinking to himself this treacherous dead old ghost, I don't know that he and Ye Feng have seen a living Yama over the years, the Ten Halls of Yama, and they beat ten of them to the point that there are not many left, what else would they be afraid of?
Zhu Dashan naturally didn't know what this fat man was thinking, he raised his head and thought about it, and said: "Where should I start? I'm afraid that all this will have to start from the beginning more than 20 years ago." At that time, I was already the number one killer of the famous rivers and lakes, and together with the ghost shadow of this little fat man's master, he was turned into a double ghost by the people in the rivers and lakes.
Zhang Fatzi said angrily: "You despicable villain, how can you be compared with my master?"
Zhu Dashan didn't mind, smiled and said: "Yes, I am different from your master, he has a lot of ability, but he doesn't know how to make good use of it, he acts according to his own likes and dislikes, and he is moody, so his reputation is not necessarily very good." I'm different, I've always done things cleanly, I never ask about good or evil, I only look at the reward, and I have never missed, so I can become the number one killer in the world. ”
"Once, I chased and killed a target, came to this remote town, and by chance I discovered that there was a gold mine hidden in the mountains here! We lived a day licking blood on the rivers and lakes, and what we did was nothing more than these yellow and white things, not to mention the killer's bowl of rice
You can't eat it for a lifetime. At that time, I was getting older, and my martial arts and physical strength were no longer at the peak, so I had to plan ahead and find a way back for myself, so I was moved. ”
"Soon, I learned all about this town, the Zhu family is the largest family here, and most of the real estate and land in the town belong to his family, so I decided to attack them. ”
Ye Feng snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "So, in fact, you are not a descendant of the Zhu family, and you are not even surnamed Zhu at all!"
Zhu Dashan should be a ghost and laughed: "It's not bad at all, I actually have nothing to do with the Zhu family at all, all I fancy is the Zhu family's industry and influence in this place, so I found an opportunity to easily poison it, so that the Zhu family was full of dozens of people, and all of them died violently overnight." ”
Dozens of human lives, in such an understatement as he spoke, as if these people's lives were worthless in his eyes, like ants.
Ye Feng recalled the past of the Zhu family told him by the old man who was on the guard in the town that night, and couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that all the Zhu family members were killed by you?" The people in the town still thought that their whole family was infected with the plague and died. ”
The ghost smiled proudly and said: "Naturally, it is my masterpiece, and what I used is just a little poison in the well water, anyway, their whole family is also rich and unkind, and the bullies in the township are not good people, and I am also doing the right thing for heaven." It's a pity that this group of fools in this town still thought that they were all dying of some plague, and they didn't know how to be grateful at all. ”
Ye Feng snorted angrily, for his own selfishness, he poisoned dozens of lives in a gesture, but he said something "for the sake of heaven", and he was ashamed to ask others to be grateful, this ghost is really shameless enough.
The ghost continued to tell triumphantly: "It's time for me to appear next, I claim to be the descendant of the Zhu family for many years, and I came to the town to inherit all the properties of the Zhu family, but unfortunately these ignorant townspeople are used to it, and they have no doubt about it, and no one has any objection to it, and all this is going more smoothly than I imagined." ”
"After the Zhu family's property is in hand, I will prepare for the gold mine. The first is the issue of transportation. It's a remote place, the roads are rough and difficult, and I definitely need to transport the gold out after mining it, so the transportation problem is the first to suffer. ”
So I pretended to be hypocritical, claiming that the Zhu family had been oppressing the township for many years, sorry for the villagers, and now I want to atone for their sins, so I contributed money and efforts to pave the way for the bridge here, and renovated the place, and successfully bought the hearts of the people here. ”
Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but snort coldly: "What a good Zhu Dashan person! You renovated the shops in the town, I'm afraid that it was just to be able to control the whole town, and also to squeeze out the little hard-earned money of those who worked hard to open mines for you, right?"
"Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone," said the ghost, "Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, if these shops of mine provide them with the necessary places to rest and recreation, so that they can enjoy the fruits of their hard-earned labor?"
Zhang Fatzi rebuked hatefully: "What a profiteer!"
Ignoring him, Ghost said, "The next biggest problem is the manpower problem for mining the mine, although it has been due to wars and disasters for many years
There are a lot of homeless people who have become famine, but they usually drag their families and families, support the old and the young, and have too many scruples. And such a thing as mining private mines is a big violation of the laws of the imperial court, and naturally the people who know the least are the better, so they are not suitable. ”
"Coupled with the poor conditions in the private mines, the frequent occurrence of injuries and illnesses, and the difficulty of receiving timely medical treatment, the number of deaths is also quite large, so how to replenish manpower has become a top priority. Fortunately, among the homeless people, I found a large number of orphans, who had no relatives and no cause, who could starve to death and freeze to death at any time, but they met my needs very well. ”
Ye Feng's face changed: "You use these orphans to open mines for you?"
The ghost smiled sadly: "Do you still think that I am really a good person, and I am so kind to raise these orphans? I tried my best to collect them here, spend money for them to eat, clothe, and live for them, and of course I need them to give me something in return." ”
"I raised these orphans until they were teenagers, and when they were able to work, I sent them to private mines, where they were so helpless that they could not survive, and they could even kill people for the sake of food. It was I who raised them to such a big age, gave them food and clothing, and they naturally thanked me and were loyal, not only able to keep their mouths shut, but also work hard, loyal and reliable, and it is really a rare labor force. ”
"In the past 20 years, I have adopted thousands of orphans, and this is a lot of money, which is really distressing, but the return is also very considerable, and the wealth they have created for me over the years is by no means what you can imagine. ”
"What's more, I am here to raise them at a very small price, and when people outside see me, they will all think that I am a kind deed that touches the heavens and the earth, and they all praise me, and no one will doubt that I have anything to do with these private mines, I can not only gain fame and fortune, but also successfully hide myself, killing two birds with one stone, why not?" he laughed proudly.
Zhang Fatzi was so angry that he trembled all over, and scolded angrily: "It's really shameless to use these poor orphans!"
Ye Feng asked hatefully: "What you are doing here, is it possible that the imperial court knows nothing, so no one cares?"
The ghost smiled sadly: "How can no one take care of it? Mining gold mines privately, this is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, if you want to mine smoothly, no one will cover it, so in fact, I can't swallow the income of this gold mine every year, I have to find some partners." ”
"In my years as a killer, I often deal with some high-ranking officials in the imperial court, eliminate dissidents for them, eliminate political enemies, and do some dirty work, and naturally I know many of their secrets. So, taking advantage of their secrets, I negotiated with them and promised them a lot of money, and they provided me with refuge in the court. ”
"These high-ranking officials are all characters who eat people and don't spit out bones, and their appetite is really not small, and every year almost half of the income from these gold mines needs to be taken out to honor them, and they can sit and enjoy a large amount of gold and silver without doing anything. With these gold and silver, they are up and down, and their position is getting higher and higher, and the higher their position, the safer I am here, so this is actually a win-win situation. ”
"It's just that there is no impermeable wall in this world," Ghost shook his head and sighed, "No matter how well-designed the plan is, there will inevitably be omissions." ”
