Chapter 32

After having a sumptuous breakfast, everyone sat by the fire in high spirits to guess who gave the rice and grain. At the same time, Mr. Qiu ran to the yamen in anger and asked the county magistrate to arrest all the victims and torture them. He must find out the envoy behind the scenes and compensate him for all the losses.

The county magistrate organized a team of people, but before he could step out of the gate of the government office, he was blocked by the ceremonial guard of the magistrate who suddenly arrived...

The inside story is not explained in detail. I only know that in the afternoon, the prefect sent many doctors to treat the diarrhea victims and asserted that it was not an epidemic, but a poisoning caused by eating moldy food. All the new rice in Mr. Qiu's granary was stolen, and all the moldy rice was left behind, which became ironclad evidence.

Before, many seriously ill victims were gathered together by the county magistrate and burned to death. This time, the grievances were so serious that it aroused a lot of public anger. After the prefect found out the case, Lei Ting was furious and immediately put the county magistrate's family and the Qiu family in prison, appointing a date to be tried. Theft of rice and grain was hidden.

After hearing the news, the victims all celebrated, but what they were most concerned about was how to deal with the sudden appearance of the food. They would not take it back, right?

Baoda Ting hurried to the side of the fire, rubbed his hands, "I've found out clearly, the magistrate didn't plan to investigate theft at all. He only said one sentence: Anyway, the case was verified, the Qiu family was going to search the family and exterminate the clan, so he said as soon as the official sent a copy to help the victims in advance, without any effort."

The third prince smiled faintly and said, "Does he have any arrangements for the victims?"

"I heard that the instructions were made and sent documents to count the number of people. After making a list, I sent us to Lishan to practice the official road. Young and strong people can get ten cents a day, and they also take care of two full meals. The elderly, young and women and children help with some miscellaneous work. There are also five cents of copper coins and a meal of porridge every day. It is better than staying here and waiting to die."

"It is a good idea to use labor for relief, and it's a good idea to kill one stone." The third prince nodded with satisfaction.

Baoda heard that they had nothing to do and automatically stepped down. Jia Huan said slowly, "When the book is made tomorrow, you may check all your names, ancestral homes, and ages. If you don't want to be exposed, you should leave as soon as possible."

"Where are you going?" The third prince looked at him with confidence.

"I still have a few clean clothes here. After nightfall, we will find a place to change it, and then find an inn to settle down. I already had ten taels of silver in my bag, and I got fifty taels of taels at the Qiu family yesterday, which was enough." Jia Huan patted the big package that was bulging again behind me.

"Hey? I also held fifty taels." Xiao Ze took out a purse from his arms, looking very proud.

"San Master, take us with you, look, I have it too!" The mute sister carefully took out a few taels of silver from her sleeve. The brother immediately stared at her with a condemnation.

"What are you glaring? Do you know that we are robbing the rich and helping the poor?" Jia Huan praised his brother and said with a smile, "Little girl is more clever than your brother and has a future! Third Master, I am short of a few people who need to be used, so I will take you with you. But you don't need to sell yourself, you can sue me when you want to leave. Just remember that if you dare to betray me, you can find you out and peel it in the ends of the world."

The brother and sister did not doubt the authenticity of Master Huan San's words at all, and waved their hands repeatedly to show that they would never betray them.

The third prince looked at the big and two girls and smiled, and waited for their agreement to speak slowly, "It's not difficult to find an inn, how can you move in. Nowadays, bandits are rampant, and disaster victims are coming. When you stay in the inn, you need to show your identity documents and guide you. Do you have that kind of thing on you?"

"Of course I have it. The mute brother and sister are mine. Their identity documents are all my way to lead me to handle it. You have agreed before, and each person has two thousand taels of silver patterns." Jia Huan twisted his fingertips.

"You are indispensable, keep the account first." The third prince laughed.

Jia Huan nodded and searched in the package for a while. It took him a long time to pick out a coarse cloth bag from the bottom layer and put it on his knees to untie it.

Xiao Ze stretched out his neck and saw that the good guys were all in the same identity documents. There were at least thirty or forty pictures, including men and women, old and young.

"You, are you a human trafficker?" he stuttered.

"I'm from □□." Jia Huan replied seriously. Seeing that the two of them believed it, they couldn't help but sneer, "Didn't they die of illness and burn many people to death a few days ago? These are their relics, and I couldn't help but collect them all. Look, this is your brother and sister, the Liu family in Suohe Village, Qixing Town, the brother is nine years old, the name is Liu Gen, the younger sister is seven years old, the name is Liu Jiao, remember."

After asking his sister to repeat it, Jia Huan handed over the ID certificate for them to hide it, and took two more copies to the third prince and Xiao Ze.

When the two opened it, they looked a little subtle.

"Are these two scapegoats?" The third prince frowned.

"Well, one is the coachman of the Jia family and the other is the servant of the Jia family. If you don't take these two pictures, how can you explain your inseparable situation with me all day long? Let's be patient for a few days. If you have a matter of this, I am still the illegitimate son of the Jia family. Of course you still..." Jia Huan glanced at the confused mute brother and sister and hid the words that had not been finished.

The third prince quickly explained, "No, Huan'er, you misunderstood my meaning. Your carriage fell off the cliff before, and I guess you might have been plotted. Seeing the planner's identity document, I was just disgusted and had no other intentions."

"He is not the one behind the scenes, at most two little Ronaldo." Jia Huan sneered, not wanting to talk more.

Several people sat around the fire and waited silently. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they were about to find a hidden place to change into clean clothes. But they asked for a bag but came over with a strange man sneaking over, with a guilty tone, "San, Master San, this person said there is something important to talk to you."

"What's the matter?" Jia Huan raised his chin and looked at the person without any trace.

"That's right, I've heard of your righteous deeds last night." The man laughed.

The third prince and Xiao Ze immediately sat upright with a look of alertness. The mute brother and sister bared at him.

Jia Huan smiled contemptuously, twisted a straw and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and glanced at him sideways, "You can only ask for things from others to find out what you have from others' mouths, but no one asks for things from your bag to find out what you have. You are quite capable."

Baodao shook his head anxiously and said that he was not revealing it. However, there were many people in the refugee camp, so Jia Huan didn't care much about this and urged him sternly, "If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have nothing to say, you can give it away!"

The man swelled in his temples, as if he was holding back his anger. After a while, he squeezed out a smile and praised, "Brother, I know how you took your brother out and how you got food. To be honest, I appreciate your ability. If you are willing to work with me, you will be rich and prosperous in the future, and you will be rich in wealth, and you will be full of beautiful women. Whatever you want depends on whether you have the courage."

"San, San Master, he wants to drag our brothers to be bandits. We said, "You are willing to do it, so we can do it. Give us a correct word." Baoda Ting added in a low voice.

The third prince and Xiao Ze secretly hid their clenched fists in their sleeves.

Jia Huan still looked so lazy, and said with a smile, "What are you doing to be a bandit? Is your mind flooded?"

"You can't say that. The world is different now." The man waved his hand and patiently persuaded him, "Now, you have a way to survive as a bandit. Be a good citizen. Can you live a life of success? Years of years are either severe droughts, floods or cold, but the court just ignores it. Tax reductions, have you ever seen when you reduce taxes? In order to highlight their good governance, those dog officials even have to add taxes up to the top of the peak of filial piety, and they can even spread taxes up to 30% to 50% but they are trying to scrape oil from the common people. The better places are leashed, and the worse places are sold for their children and displaced. Do you still have fewer tragedies along the way?"

"But the master of the prefect said that we should go to work, not only to manage food, but also to receive wages." Bao Ting said softly.

"Little brother, don't be naive! Last year, the prefect of Bingzhou also said that the victims would go to repair the river. Did he ever pay for wages? He didn't even have a meal of porridge. He would use a whip to whip it if he didn't work. It was worse than animals. Those who starved to death, exhausted, and slapped to death, were dragged to the suburbs and burned to ashes. That's awful! The souls in the sky gathered together for several months."

Bao Tak was so scared that his face turned pale. He hid behind Master Huan San. The mute brother and sister grabbed Master San's sleeve from left to right.

The third prince and Xiao Ze seemed to have indifferent expressions, but they knew what kind of anger was burning in their hearts. It turned out that the people of Daqing were living such a life of stagnation, but the court praised merits and whitewashed the peace. If this time was not experienced personally, the people of Daqing would rebel, and they might not be able to figure out the whole story.

Jia Huan spit out the chewed straw and said in a man's voice, "Which road do you have on? I have so many brothers, it's a bit ugly. If you go up the mountain with you, you'll take off your head and put it on your belt. You don't even explain your origin clearly and want us to work hard for you? Is it a good idea to look at us rough guys?"

The man pondered for a moment and smiled, "Third Master, you are so good at such a young age. How dare I fool you? It's really hard to speak out for me. Just a few of you know." As he said that, he opened his collar and exposed a black python entrenched on his left chest. Then he quickly covered it with a slut, and lowered his voice, "This is our totem, which can protect us from all poisons and will be invincible when we are killed. Not all brothers have it, unless they sit in the first ten seats, they are not qualified."

Python Mountain! The third prince's pupils shrank violently for a moment. Xiao Ze almost couldn't help but pull out the axe from his waist.

Jia Huan then sat down and sneered, "Kill the Prince of Jin. When the disaster in Mangshan is approaching, he still recruits soldiers and horses? Why do you want to take us up the mountain to be cannon fodder?"

The man's face was tense for a moment, and soon calmed down again, explaining, "No, no, our boss wants to do a great career, and it is the time to seek talent. I see, Third Master, you are born with that piece of material. If you go up the mountain, you may be able to make a name for yourself. It is better than the hungry and full life now. Then you said rashly. Look, the court wants to destroy our Mangshan, fighting and killing for more than ten years, have you ever made any achievements? Not only that, even the Flying General Bai Zhu, Shenwei General Duan Dehan, and Weiyuan General Lin Jing were ruined in our hands. If we can fight, we can fight, but we can't evacuate from tens of thousands of cave tunnels. What can the court take us? We have silver, rice, grain, talents, and strongholds that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Maybe after a few years, Mangshan will look different..."

"Stop! I have no interest in knowing what the future of Mangshan will be like. I just ask you, after going up the mountain, my brother may be full, may he wear warm clothes, can he spend money, can he play with women?" Jia Huan asked casually.

"A woman who eats full, wears warmly, spends endless money, and plays with endless women." The man promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, please let me think about it. I'll come to you when I'm at night." Jia Huan waved impatiently.

"I live in the shed on the east side. You go over and whistle, and I will come out immediately." The man finally showed a real smile on his face.

Bao Chatun found out that there was something to say. Seeing that Master Huan San’s cheeks were tightly collapsed, it seemed that he was very upset, so he didn’t dare to touch his bad head and tiptoed away.

The mute brother and sister went to cook rice by obediently.

Xiao Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air and whispered, "Prince, why not let me go up the mountain with them and find out the situation clearly."

"No." The third prince immediately denied it, his voice was cold, "As he said, the bandits in Mangshan were always the same as they could beat them, and they ran away if they could not beat them. This time, because I died, my father would definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them at all costs. Not only did they not retreat at this moment, they also recruited people. As Huan'er said, they wanted to find some disaster victims to be cannon fodder to make Li Daitao's dead. You can't go up the mountain at this time, as you go up the mountain, you will die. And there are traces of collusion between officials and bandits behind it. I don't know who is playing such a big game of chess. This matter must be investigated, but you have to find another breakthrough."

Jia Huan was almost asleep when he heard this, and said lazily, "Isn't the breakthrough point already delivered to the door? He tied the bandit up and tortured him to confess. He is not a kind-hearted man. If he is hungry for three or five days, he will be punished. I am not afraid that he will not take any advice."

The third prince smiled and stroked his hands, "Huan'er is right. Sure enough, there are benefits of simple minds!"

"What do you mean?" Jia Huan's eyebrows stood up.

"Literally, Huan'er, you should wash your hair, it's all clumped." The third prince rubbed the young man's bun, his expression was extremely disgusting.

That night, the group sneaked to the easternmost shack and whistled. Soon a black shadow rushed out and led them into the woods not far away.

"Have you thought about it?" the bandit asked in a low voice.

"I've thought about it, but I have a condition." Jia Huan said with a smile.

"What conditions?" The bandits were prepared to be blackmailed. If these people agreed, they would have become suspicious.

"Let us find the best inn to stay in our house, let us sleep on the high bed soft pillow, eat the delicacies of mountains and seas, and it is best to make a few more powder heads to play. When we have enough food and drink, we will be able to play with our brothers and you."

"You've got a fan head, can you play tricks?" The bandit looked up and down at Jia Huan's thin body.

The third prince and Xiao Ze smiled unkindly.

Jia Huan was about to smash his punch.

The man quickly begged, "No, no, I'm kidding! Since you asked you to work hard for me, I will naturally let you taste some sweetness. Even if you don't say it, I will take you to see and experience it. Let's go to Fuyun Inn, which is the best inn in Ze'an. But, do you really have to bring these two furry children?" He pointed to the mute brother and sister hiding behind Jia Huan.

"These two are my cousin's children. The only two of them are left to my cousin's family. Naturally, they have to take them with me. Can't you?" Jia Huan said a little nervous.

"Chengcheng." The man nodded quickly, took out a large package from the shed, took out five sets of brocade clothes and handed them over, and whispered, "Change the clothes, then put them neatly in the hair, let's go to the inn."

Several people changed their clothes and walked to Fuyunlai Inn and asked for five rooms.

Seeing the bandit taking out six identity documents from the package and leading them, Jia Huan sneered, "This bandit is quite professional."

Xiao Ze endured it and endured it, and finally couldn't help it. He praised sincerely, "It's still not as professional as the third master! Compared with you, no matter how fierce the bandit is, it's all the gun tips!"

The author has something to say: I especially thank my financial supporters! Thank you to all the greats who support the genuine version!
