On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 70 Getting Wealth
  On the other side, Hou Er also inquired about the Xiao family's affairs: "Master, I went to inquire about it. It is true that the Xiao family moved in one day earlier than us."

"It is said that the family is fleeing, and there are two mule carts, and they are going to Wuning County to settle down."

"Boss Xiao has five daughters, and Lao Xiao's family has three sons. Plus the old couple, there are a total of fourteen people."

Jiang Yu nodded after hearing this: "Send those two people to them."

Because he thought it was troublesome, it made them dizzy, and finally aroused a little guilt.

Moreover, the Xiao family are all good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

The female relatives didn't even look at him, but it seemed that his previous worries were a bit pretentious.

Hou Er agreed and went into the side room to see that both of them were still lying on the ground and had not woken up.

He didn't bother to carry them anymore, so he simply went to ask the Xiao family to come on his own: "For those who wanted to catch the eldest girl, can you send them to the Yamen? I heard that you can get a reward of ten taels of silver."

In many remote places, if you catch a flower girl, you will be beaten to death by angry people.

But in Nancheng, it would be more appropriate to send it to the government. How about getting a windfall?

Let them send it away because you want them to give it a few blows later to vent their anger.

Xiao Laoer hurriedly declined: "No, I'd better send it to you, little brother?"

He had a secret in his heart and was unwilling to deal with the government officials at all. He was deeply afraid of being found out that all three of his nieces were on the wanted list.

But Boss Xiao agreed: "Little brother must be busy with something, we will send him off, and we will invite you and your young master to have dinner in the evening."

After all, it was a life-saving grace. He thought about treating him to dinner and buying some expensive gifts for him.

Of course, he would never pretend to be fat, and the value of the gift could never exceed twenty taels.

Hou Er didn't dare to make the decision for the young master and agreed, so he just asked them to drive the mule cart to carry the people.

Xiao Dalang and Erlang, who were fighting with their sleepy eyelids, suddenly became energetic and said in unison: "Uncle, let's go with you."

Those who dare to kidnap their eldest sister will not only kill them, but also maim them. This is to eliminate harm for the people.

Boss Xiao nodded and asked his two nephews to follow him.

Xiao Xiao quickly stepped forward, leaned close to him and whispered: "Dad, let's see if there are any trophies to take."

Of course, if Hou Er has been raided, then it will be treated as if she did not say this.

Boss Xiao patted his daughter on the head and showed an appreciative expression: "Don't worry, I think so too."

Last night, I spent nearly twenty taels of silver to find out about my daughter.

I didn't feel it when I was flowering it, but now I can't help but feel pain when I think about it.

He decided that he would beat them up and search them again, and he would never leave a penny on them.

Xiao Xiao felt that her father did not understand what she meant: "One of them is a woman. It's not convenient for you to do it. Can you take me with you?"

Boss Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded after looking at his youngest daughter's expectant eyes.

They drove the mule cart over, and after putting the two people on the mule cart, Xiao Dalang drove away.

The two patters, who had woken up but were tied like rice dumplings, stared at them angrily.

If he hadn't been gagged with cloth, he might have provoked: If you have the guts, untie us and have a good fight.

Boss Xiao smiled coldly, raised his leg and kicked the man three inches below.

The man's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he wanted to curl up into a shrimp, with tears and sweat flowing down his face.

Xiao Erlang, who originally wanted to kick someone, shivered all over and silently withdrew his kick.

Boss Xiao did not forget to use real cases to teach his daughter: "San'er, if someone plots evil in the future, use this trick."

Xiao Xiao nodded obediently and thought to himself: Men understand men better. She knelt down next to the woman. When the woman looked at her in horror, she shook her hands into a fist and hit the woman on the back of her neck several times.

Mainly because she had read in novels that she could knock people out with just one strike of the blade.

She had always been curious to know if it was true.

But we can’t experiment randomly. Now that we have the right candidates, we certainly can’t miss the opportunity for certification.

After more than twenty times, the woman finally fainted.

If she hadn't been gagged and unable to speak, she would have wanted to curse: Are you a devil?
  Xiao Xiao muttered in his heart: It’s really useful, but it’s a bit laborious.

hand pain.

It would be better to get a stone next time.

Then Xiao Xiao took off a silver hairpin from her head, took off the silver bracelet on her hand, and even the silver ring on her finger.

Finally the body search began.

After waiting for the banknote, she saw her mother wrapping the banknote in oil paper and sewing it into her belt.

The eldest sister and the second sister had them sewn into old clothes.

She ingeniously asked her mother to sew the banknotes into her clean old shoes, which amazed them all.

Therefore, she now searches very carefully.

Although Boss Xiao didn't quite understand why his daughter kept hitting people on the back of the neck, he didn't ask any more questions. Now that his daughter was taking action, he was not to be outdone and began to search the man's body.

Only now did Xiao Erlang understand why his uncle and Xiao Xiao came to send people to the Yamen. Was it just for this moment that they co-wrote it?

"There is a twenty-tael silver note in the purse, and more than three taels of broken silver. Plus the silver jewelry, it's almost thirty taels." Xiao Xiao gave Erlang two taels of silver: "Here, I'll take the big head. See you soon." Have a share.”

Boss Xiao found out more: "Finally, we have blocked the hole where the flowers went out yesterday. Let's have a good meal tonight."

A little more was found on the man, including a fifty-tael silver note and five golden peanuts.

However, he was cautious and did not pour out the silver notes. He only poured out the golden peanuts, which was regarded as a clear path in front of his second nephew.

Don't blame him for being greedy for money, who made him poor?

After all, now that Mrs. Liu has another child in her belly, he has to make sure that Mrs. Liu eats and drinks well, so he is not going to take out the banknotes.

I have to admit that it makes sense to seek wealth through risk. These gangsters do make a lot of money. They can earn hundreds of taels of silver by photographing a few people.

But ordinary people, after working hard all their lives, cannot save a hundred taels of silver.

No wonder some people are willing to take risks even though they know they will die if caught.

After they sent the people to the Yamen, they explained the situation. Of course the Yamen servants would not listen to what they said, so they gave them the reward money.

Instead, after writing down the case, wake the person up and then interrogate them.

Unfortunately, when a bucket of cold water was poured down, the two people on the ground only twitched.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still breathing, the government officials would have doubted whether the two women had been beaten to death by them.

They simply went to invite the couple to come over and gave them a few injections before the two of them opened their eyes.

As soon as they opened their eyes, both of them started to cry and howl so loudly that the yamen officer had the urge to knock them unconscious.

Both of them were crying and complaining, and they insisted that they came to help after seeing a girl faint.

But it is not difficult for the government officials to try people separately.

There were also government officials who went to investigate the place where the accident occurred and asked Jiang Yu who rescued people.
