Chapter 44: Seeing Profit and Forgetting Righteousness
"Childe, there's movement outside. Zhao Yuechen whispered to Chen Qi.
"I know, don't alarm them just yet, see what they're going to do. ”
"They made such a big move, it shouldn't be people from the rivers and lakes. ”
"Yes, it looks like they don't know martial arts. ”
"You can all hear that there's someone outside, but I can't hear it. Ah Niu asked softly.
Zhao Yue Chen said: "You can hear it when your martial arts practice reaches a certain level." ”
Chen Qi said: "It's very difficult for him, don't worry about the big cow." ”
......
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing inside the house, there was also a conversation between the two outside.
"This temple is so big, so many rooms, when will we find it?"
"I have to look for it for as long as I can, but it is two large boxes full of silver, and if we find it, we will be rich. ”
"Do you think this third child is reliable?"
"I also inquired, this kid did come here today to deliver food, and there were indeed two big wooden boxes, at that time, the people in the grain store also asked the third child what was in it, and the third child told the family to follow the girl's clothes. ”
"Hey~ Do you say that we are too ruthless, the third child is our sworn brother after all, and we killed him like this, it's really ......"
"If he hadn't stopped us, would I have been willing to kill him? Anyway, we are also brothers who have kowtowed together, but he is too reasonable, if I don't kill him, we will definitely not be able to do this, according to his character, he will definitely come to report the news, and if people are on guard, can we still get it? I said the second child, don't be like a girl, when the silver is in hand, we will also divide the silver into three parts, and send the third child's share to his family. ”
"Okay, where are we going to find it next?"
"Room by room. ”
"What if someone finds out? There are thousands of people who have fled here. ”
"If you find that one kills the other, Lao Tzu and his brothers are all killed, are you afraid of how many more people?"
"Okay, listen to big brother. ”
As he finished saying this, the footsteps of the two people were heard outside, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
"Uncle Zhao, you go and capture those two people, don't alarm the others. ”
Zhao Yuechen opened the door softly and left the room, he just opened the door, and Ding Muxi was standing at the door.
"The girl went to the house and waited, and the little one went and caught the two thieves. ”
Ding Muxi nodded and entered the room.
Chen Qi said to Ding Muxi: "That person didn't listen to me in the end, and he gave his life in vain." ”
Ding Muxi said: "He didn't expect that his sworn brother was a villain who forgot his righteousness. ”
Chen Qi said: "Yes, he didn't tell outsiders, which shows that he is still on guard, the reason why he told his sworn brothers is because he believes in them, but he never thought that it was the person he believed in the most who saw the wealth, and in order to prevent him from reporting the news, he killed him mercilessly, and people's hearts are sometimes really difficult to guess." ”
Ding Muxi said: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people." I think how unwilling that man was when he died!"
"Childe, I've arrested these two people. ”
Zhao Yuechen grabbed a person with one hand, waited into the room, pushed the two of them easily, and fell to the ground. At this time, Chen Qi had also turned on the lights in the house.
Through the light, I could see clearly that both of them were about thirty years old, and their faces were very ordinary. The two of them were thrown to the ground by Zhao Yuechen, they didn't dare to get up, and when they saw Chen Qi and Ding Muxi sitting in front of them, they immediately kowtowed and begged: "The little ghost is fascinated for a while, I want to come to this temple to see what valuable objects there are, I don't know that your uncle is here, and please spare the small one." ”
Chen Qi said: "Why didn't your third brother come with you?" ”
As soon as Chen Qi said this, the two of them were taken aback, and one of them said, "We don't have a third brother." ”
Chen Qi said: "Isn't the coachman surnamed Wu in Zhongfu Grain Store the sworn brother of the two of you?"
The man hurriedly said, "No, no, we don't have a brother surnamed Wu." ”
Chen Qi said: "It seems that I recognized the wrong person, the coachman surnamed Wu drove for me today, I saw him frowning, so I asked him what was the matter, he said that there are two sworn brothers, has been unsatisfactory, and he can't help, I feel very guilty, I told him, you can let him bring his two brothers to Xingyun Temple, I will help them, I have prepared one hundred taels of silver for each of them, I want to wait for them to come tonight to give them ......"
"It turns out that Childe is my third brother's friend, and we are here to get the silver. Hearing Chen Qi say this, the man hurriedly smiled and said.
Chen Qi asked, "Didn't you just say that he wasn't your brother?"
The man said: "It's really a misunderstanding, my third brother can't come if he has something, and our two brothers have something to delay, so I rushed here at this time, I wanted to find a place to rest for a night, and when my third brother came tomorrow, I would look for Gongzi together, I didn't want to be arrested by this eldest brother as a thief, we were afraid of ruining my third brother's reputation, so we deceived Gongzi." ”
Chen Qi said: "How can I prove that what you said is true?"
"This ......"
Chen Qi said: "The coachman surnamed Wu told me about the situation in his family, if you are his sworn brother, you must know." ”
"I know, his family lives in Willow Lane in the south of the city, and the third family in the west of the alley, their family of four, his father and mother, and their brothers. ”
Chen Qi said: "What you said is consistent with what he told, which shows that you are indeed his sworn brother." ”
The man said: "Since Childe has identified our identity, let's ......"
Chen Qi shook his head, "I can't give you this silver now, I can't give it until your third brother comes." ”
"This ...... My third brother was sent out by the grain store to pull grain, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so what about our brother waiting for the silver to save his life?"
"Help, whose life is being saved?
"Oh, Brother Qi, don't give them nonsense, you already know what you want to know, this kind of person has nothing to say to them. Ding Muxi said.
Chen Qi looked at the two who were surprised by Ding Muxi's words, "The reason why I told you so much is actually to want to know the situation in your third brother's family, as for you, I already knew it when you first entered the temple, and I also heard everything that the two of you said outside, he is your sworn brother, and he believes in you very much, but you killed him." ”
After hearing this, the two immediately collapsed to the ground, stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed together and begged for mercy, "Childe spare his life, Childe spare his life......"
Chen Qi said: "When you attacked the sworn brother, did you hear him beg for mercy, but did you ever think about stopping and sparing his life? So now you don't have to beg for mercy, Uncle Zhao, I'll leave it to you." ”
Zhao Yuechen nodded, and then lifted them out one by one, the two of them were still screaming and begging for mercy.
Chen Qi said: "If you still want to do something for your family, tell him your address, and I will send some silver." ”
When the two heard Chen Qi say this, they stopped making a noise and let Zhao Yuechen carry it away.
Not long after, Zhao Yuechen came back, "It's buried, and the address is also recorded." ”
Chen Qi nodded, "Tomorrow, you and Ah Niu will send one hundred taels of silver to each of their families, and the coachman's family will send fifty taels more." ”
"Good. ”
