poor family prodigal

Chapter 20 Friends give money, enemies seek death

Wang Sihai hurriedly said: "I know, I have a good reputation!"

From all over the country, there are people who commit petty thefts, who are gangsters, and who are rumored to have committed murder and swindled goods.

He wandered around from the age of thirteen to nineteen, and he was very familiar with several nearby villages.

There were also thieves who wanted him to join their gang, but he was not brave enough and did not dare to do it.

After hearing this, Wang Yuan asked in detail: "Is there a three-person gang that knows kung fu and uses a knife?"

"……Have!"

Wang Sihai thought for a while: "In Guo Panzhuang fifteen miles away, there are three brothers Guo Cang. The courtyard wall is as tall as one person. They rushed up at once. I saw it once. His father also came down from the battlefield. It is said that they killed people in the army. The sword skills belong to the ruthless people of Guo Panzhuang."

Wang Yuan nodded.

These three brothers are probably the three thieves who were beaten away by the two tigers last night.

Who stole Wang Sihai's fifty taels of silver? The scope is quite large.

There are more than a dozen thieves in a radius of twenty miles. It is difficult to determine which one will get the information and come to the door.

We can only find three people first to see who has the news.

"If it's really them, we don't want the money. They are all ruthless people!"

Wang Sanhai said quickly: "You can make more money. Sihai, you can earn it back in less than two years if you make it three times a month. Don't take risks!"

My sister-in-law and two brothers also nodded. Officials want money, and robbers want their lives.

Soon, Wang Hanshan and his son arrived. There was no robber in their home last night.

The third aunt said in a bad tone: "Uncle Shanshan, Wang Yuan and our house were robbed, how come your house was not robbed!"

Dahai, Erhai and Sanhai also looked at Wang Hanshan, unable to help but doubt him.

Five people came back together, and both houses were robbed, except theirs.

Fifty taels is a huge sum of money in rural areas, so people can’t help but have other thoughts.

The father and son haven't spoken yet.

Wang Sihai was anxious: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Uncle Shanshan is not that kind of person!"

Wang Yuan explained: "Third sister-in-law, two tigers killed four of them yesterday. No one here knew it. The person who reported the news to the thief was someone in the field. He must have told the thief about the skills of the two tigers. Unless the thief was a fool, otherwise he would go The thief in Uncle Shanshan's house is just waiting to be beaten to death."

The third aunt reacted and lowered her head with a red face: "I, I didn't mean that!"

"Prodigal women know how to talk nonsense!"

Wang Sanhai scolded his wife and gave Wang Hanshan an apologetic smile!

Wang Hanshan waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Wang Yuan, what are you going to do?"

Wang Yuan's eyes darkened: "Find out the thief and send him to the county government!"

There is no reason to prevent thieves the day before if you are a thief the day before. You must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and deter the thieves!

Wang Sihai's scalp was numb: "Shall we go directly to Guopanzhuang to arrest the three Guocang brothers?"

"That definitely won't work!"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "Even if the third brother Guocang is a thief, his clan will not watch us take him away. When the whole clan comes up together, even if the big tiger and the second tiger know kung fu, we will not be able to defeat the four hands with two fists!" The best way is to ask Chief Zhao Wu to take us to get people."

The elder is one of the people most feared by the villagers in the countryside. He chases thieves and guards.

The villagers of Guopanzhuang dared to stop them, but they did not dare to take advantage of an elder like Zhao Wu.

Wang Hanshan shook his head: "I'm afraid Zhao Wu won't help. If you beat Liu Youcai, they both belong to the Yamen and they will definitely report it to the outside world."

A group of people nodded. The village head, elders, and household heads did not have a good relationship in private, but their attitudes towards the villagers were surprisingly consistent, and they joined forces to suppress those who dared to resist.

“Let’s talk about it after meeting the person first!”

Wang Yuan stood up and said: "Uncle Shanshan, you don't have to go. The fishing team will start work on the first day. I need you to take care of everyone and follow the plan!"

Wang Hanshan nodded: "I'll take good care of it!"

The two discussed it last night.

Divide the fishing team into four types of work.

One digs buddleia roots, one group mashes the roots into liquid, one group carries them to catch fish, and one pulls fish to sell in markets or county towns.

Everyone does their own work and doesn't ask too many questions.

Even if you can’t hide it for a few days, everyone will know how to catch fish!

There are also people who will not abide by the confidentiality agreement and leave the team to fish and sell alone.

But this is how you can see your character.

It's common for those who are petty to seek profit and forget their own good. Let's fish for food and clothing.

If you have good character and keep your promises, you can make a lot of money by taking them with you to do other things.

After seeing the huge profits from sugar, none of the five people took the secret method of fishing seriously.

After a hurried breakfast, Wang Yuan took the three of them to Zhao Village, five miles away, in front of an eight-room blue brick house with two stone lions in front of the door.

In rural areas, those who could live in such courtyards were either landlords or gentry.

This is the house of Zhao Wu, the elder of Beiping Township.

Seeing Wang Yuan in silk robes, Wang Sihai in satin clothes, Dahu and Erhu holding jujube sticks higher than their heads and leaning on stone lions, the two strong men hurried back to the courtyard.

"I heard that you beat Liu Youcai?"

Not long after, a tall, bearded, middle-aged man wearing a hunting suit, with an oxtail knife in his waist, strode out with a fierce look on his face.

Last night, news came about what happened in Dawang Village. He and Liu Youcai didn't have a good relationship.

But in the countryside, they are all government servants and belong to an interest group.

This kid dared to beat the village chief yesterday, and he will dare to beat him, the elder, in the future.

Must give him some color and see!

Facing the menacing Zhao Wu, Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Let's talk about Sihai first!"

Wang Sihai looked at Zhao Wu and said timidly: "Sir, someone stole fifty taels of silver from me last night."

"What?"

Zhao Wu looked at Wang Sihai suspiciously, with a look on his face that said you deserve fifty taels.

The look in his eyes made Wang Sihai extremely uncomfortable and said loudly: "Senior, someone stole fifty taels of silver from me, and I would like to ask you to help capture him."

"Even if you really lost fifty taels, where would I find it for you?"

Zhao Wu rolled his eyes: "Young Master Wang is so capable that you dare to beat Liu Lichang, why don't you let him find it for you!"

Wang Sihai frowned.

Everyone was mentally prepared before coming, Zhao Wu should not care about this matter.

Wang Yuan said: "Let me take a step to speak!"

"If you have anything to do, just say it in front of everyone, don't be sneaky!"

Zhao Wu looked sarcastic.

He knows the tricks very well for this kind of borrowing and talking, and it's all about giving gifts to please him.

If others do this, he will accept it, but he must give Wang Yuan some color.

The four helpers had cold faces.

Even the head of the village dares to hit him, and he will definitely not be polite to the helper.

Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "Do you know how Sihai got fifty taels of silver?"

"None of my business!"

In order not to look good on Wang Yuan, Zhao Wu planned to say nothing to Wang Yuan without being polite.

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Sihai, tell him."

Although Zhao Wu ignored it, he pricked up his ears and was obviously curious!

Wang Sihai snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhao, I, Wang Sihai, don't have the ability to make fifty taels, but Mr. Yuan does. I helped him for a day yesterday, and he gave me fifty taels of silver to build a house and marry me." My wife’s.”

"What?"

Zhao Wu looked at Wang Yuan in shock.

What a prodigal, a second-rate boy was given fifty guan to help him out for a day.

Isn't this driving up the price of help?

The two helpers looked at Zhao Wu sadly: The helpers get fifty taels of silver a day, but we will give you, the elder, a year of help, and you don't even get five taels of silver.

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Chief Zhao, I am a very simple person. Be my brother and I will give him money. Be my enemy and fight to death. I don't know if you want to be my friend or mine." enemy?"
