I'm the best catcher in martial arts
Chapter 39 How could the Shen family be greedy for money?
"Have you ever heard of a saying? The official word is two-syllable. Don't reason with me. What I say is the truth."
Shen Lian signaled, and Zuo Shi stood up and poured a glass of wine for everyone. The wine was naturally from a clear stream, a first-class wine, but in the eyes of everyone, it seemed like poison.
Deng Dinghou said in a low voice: "Shen Captou, I just placed two bets. Isn't it such a big sin?"
Miss Wang turned her head and looked at Shen Lian: "They say that although Capt. Shen is ruthless, he is honest and upright. Only when I met Capt. Shen today did I know that the rumors were wrong."
Shen Lian agreed: "How can the rumors be true? Can the truth be called rumors?"
Zuo Shi covered her eyes in embarrassment.
Xiao Ma was indifferent to this and drank it all in one gulp. Then his eyes widened and he smacked his lips full of aftertaste. Seeing Zuo Shi covering his eyes, he immediately reached out to get the wine bottle and drank it all.
"Good wine! Good wine! Good wine!"
Xiao Ma said three good things in a row, and then rolled his eyes at Shen Lian: "Such a good wine will definitely not be cheap. Your salary can't afford it."
Miss Wang was shocked: "Is this really a corrupt official?"
Deng Dinghou said in his heart that you little bastards are more reckless and aggressive than the other. Can your brains be a little bit normal? Is Mr. Wang teaching his daughter this way?
"Shen Captou comes from a wealthy family, and his uncle is Shen Wansan, the richest man in the past. I can't guarantee anything else. I will definitely not be greedy when it comes to money."
Xiao Ma: So rich? If I had known better, I wouldn't have robbed the escort. How convenient it would have been to rob Shen Lian directly!
Miss Wang: Damn you old man, why didn’t you remind me earlier? This is really embarrassing!
Neither of them had much money, and everything they were thinking was written on their faces. Now it was Deng Dinghou and Ding Xi who covered their faces, while Zuo Shi explained in a low voice.
"I made the wine, not bought it."
Xiao Ma's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took away the other bottle of wine three minutes faster than Ding Xi.
Since it is Shen Lian's home-brewed wine, it means that it cannot be purchased elsewhere. If you don't drink more, you will have no chance in the future, so grabbing the wine is the most important thing.
Miss Wang was so embarrassed that she wanted to get into the table, thinking that today was really unlucky, and she had been humiliated at her grandma's house.
Looking through the gap between her fingers, Xiao Ma was busy grabbing wine, Deng Dinghou looked helpless, Shen Lian was eating meat expressionlessly, and Ding Xi looked at her with a smile.
"What are you looking at? What's so funny? You are the least like a good person and the most annoying!"
Miss Wang pointed at Ding Xi, bursting out like a small pepper, saying that Ding Xi raised his hands to surrender.
Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "I drank wine and ate meat. Now let's get down to business. I suspect that Wang Wanwu's murder case is related to this escort robbery case."
Xiao Ma said without raising his head: "I don't know Wang Wanwu, I am definitely not the one who killed him."
Miss Wang winked at Deng Dinghou and signaled Deng Dinghou to keep an eye on Ding Xi. Unfortunately, Miss Wang was an upright person and her ability to wink was really poor.
Even Zuo Shi could see it clearly.
Ding Xi explained: "The difficulty of robbing an escort is not to defeat the escort master, but to find clues. I don't need to find clues because someone took the initiative to send them."
Deng Dinghou was shocked when he heard this: "Someone also sent news about this robbery? How is this possible?"
Ding Xi said: "If not, how could I know that the treasure is in the flagpole? If Shen Captou hadn't helped you once, I would have sold the treasure."
Miss Wang scolded: "You look like a smiling guy, but I didn't expect you to be so bad. Our escorts earn all their hard-earned money, and yet we have to be robbed by you."
If you rob an escort once, we have to put in at least five or six times more effort, or even four or five years of hard work in vain. If there are too many robberies, the entire escort agency will go bankrupt.
Do you think escorts are very glamorous?
Do you think the head escort is very powerful?
To tell you the truth, if one million taels worth of gold, silver and jewelry are escorted, after deducting all expenses, the money distributed to the chief escort will not exceed five thousand taels at most.
If the chief escort is like this, how much more can the escort master get? Moreover, this kind of big business is not encountered once in two or three years, so the profit on weekdays is even less.
The profits are small and the risks are high. Bandits and bandits plunder along the way, and there are also government officials who want to take advantage of them.
If this escort is lost and cannot be found, how many escort agencies can afford to pay? Even if you can afford to pay, you will lose the escort agency's brand name and it will definitely plummet.
An escort agency not only supports the escorts, but also the relatives of the escorts. Taking our family as an example, the escorts and their families support almost 700 people.
If the King's Escort falls, who will be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these 700 people? Are you responsible?
Judging from your appearance, you are probably a righteous bandit who likes to rob the rich and give to the poor, but the cost of robbing the rich and giving to the poor is to create another group of poor people who need you to rob the rich and give to the poor. "
What Miss Wang said was so righteous, Ding Xi didn't know how to refute it for a while, because there was no way to refute this kind of thing, and they had mistaken the target of the robbery.
Another point is that robbing the rich and giving money to the poor is not just about robbing the rich and throwing money to the poor. This will only bring disaster to them. Those big families can't offend martial arts masters, so can they not offend poor farmers?
It is not easy to "safely" rob the rich and give to the poor!
This involves selling stolen goods and laundering money, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Each step costs tens of thousands. If you want to exchange gold and silver for goods, it is another huge expense.
One million taels worth of gold and silver jewelry, and finally receiving rice grains worth 300,000 taels, is already an extravagant act of kindness, and the kindest person cannot be more kind.
When Guo Bujing taught his disciples, he described the joints in detail, and even asked prisoners in the sky prison to teach his disciples how to solve the case.
Deng Dinghou said in a deep voice: "This little brother knows our route, which means someone inside has leaked the secret.
When Five Dogs Blossoms was first established, I approached Mr. Wang and hoped that he would join. Although Mr. Wang refused, he did not completely refuse.
At least when Baili Changqing came to him, Brother Wang had already relaxed. If he persuaded him two more times, he would probably be able to join, and he might die because of this. "
Shen Lian said: "You should all know about the Xiangjiang Escort Agency. Some forces are targeting the Escort Agency."
Xiao Ma curled his lips: "I think you are targeting the escort agency now. Your family is also a powerful one."
Shen Lian waved his hand: "If you mean that the imperial court wants to use the Escort Bureau, then you are totally wrong.
The imperial court's method was to recruit people, and all the large escort agencies in the world were related to the imperial court.
If you are talking about my eldest brother, he is very busy in Jingxiang and does not have so much time.
If you are talking about my uncle, he is living happily overseas and enjoying his old age. Unless the end is approaching, he will not come back, let alone form a force. "
After a pause, Shen Lian asked: "How many people know the escort route? How did he leak the secret to you?"
The previous question was asked by Deng Dinghou.
The latter question was asked by Ding Xi.
Deng Dinghou said in a deep voice: "The value of the escorts this time is really too high. I dare not be careless. There are only five stewards who know the specific route."
Ding Xi said: "Three months ago, someone sent me a letter, saying that he could leak the route of your escort to me. The condition is that after I rob the escort, I will give him 30% of the escort. If I am willing to accept him, Under the conditions, the person who sent the letter must be killed first."
"You accepted his terms?"
"I have no other choice, because whether I accept it or not, the person who sent the letter will definitely die."
"Then you robbed an escort!"
Deng Dinghou clenched his fists. They had lost 60,000 taels for that escort trip, and the trust of the escort agency was seriously damaged. He had to go to escort the escort himself to restore his reputation.
"After I kidnapped the escort, he asked someone to send a letter to send his share to the place he designated.
After delivering the goods, you have to leave immediately.
If I dare to spy and follow, there will be no next business. Of course, the person who sent the letter will not end well either. This person is very cautious.
Not only cautious, but powerful.
Not only does he know your secrets, but he can find them wherever I hide them. "
Deng Dinghou said: "Including this time, you have robbed three escorts in total. This time you did not go to deliver the goods, so five messengers died and you received five letters."
"That's right!"
"Where's the letter?"
"In the arms of a corpse."
"Where's the body?"
"I buried them in Hungry Tiger Hill."
Hungry Gang is a famous bandit den and the escort's biggest enemy. When crossing this road, you have to either pay a high toll or use a knife to rush out.
The terrain of Hungry Gang is steep, and the bandit leader inside is well versed in the art of defense. He operates like an iron bucket and is as powerful as five dogs blooming, but he cannot defeat the Hungry Gang bandits.
Over the years, the number of bodyguards who have died in Hungry Gang has exceeded three figures in total, and the number of bandits who have fought to death is even more numerous. The two sides have a life-and-death feud.
If Marquis Deng Ding dared to go to Hungry Tiger Hill, the bandits would surely cut his body into pieces with knives and chop him into meat paste.
Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to investigate about Hungry Gang. Instead of thinking about Hungry Gang, it is better to think about how this person can sell the 30% of the goods."
Zuo Shi whispered: "There is no big force near Baoding that is good at selling stolen goods, but in June, July and August, there will be two brothers from the outside world who will go around collecting treasures."
Marquis Deng Ding was shocked and said: "Brothers from outside the land, is it possible that the girl is talking about Black and White Maha?"
The Black and White Mahas are twin brothers. Their father is from Tianzhu and their mother is a Tibetan girl. After they were born, one was black and the other was white, which is why they got this name.
The two are proficient in Tianzhu yoga and Tibetan mudra visualization methods. They can speak seven or eight different local languages and specialize in the business of selling stolen jewelry.
Every year in June, July and August, the two brothers would come to the Central Plains to collect treasures. They dared to collect any treasures, and the collection was quite fair, and they would never take advantage of others.
After receiving the jewelry, they will sell the treasures to Persia, Tibet, and Tianzhu. Even if the six gates have the Dharma Eye, it will be difficult to track down these treasures.
Therefore, whether they are lone thieves or certain underworld forces, they all like to make deals with them.
In terms of black market business, Black and White Maha is very famous. It is said that Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiayulou plan to recruit them and have had several secret talks with them.
If it were them, there might be an unexpected gain!
