Chapter 57: The Nightmare (1)
We drank, chatted and waited. It was not until midnight that shopkeeper Li's family and the tea gang brought us the banknotes.
As long as we have the banknotes, everything will be easy to discuss. We will release all the things that should be released and those that should not be released. Then we will call Guan Baotou and Jiang Liu, the leader of the Sichuan gang, to come to the hall to divide the money.
"A total of 4,850 taels, I will take 60% of it. These two thousand, nine hundred and 10 taels are mine, and you can divide the rest." Master Tao said this, but he felt a little reluctant in his heart, secretly
I thought a few dozen taels of silver would be enough for a bunch of government servants and poor porters, so why would they need so much money?
Han Xiufeng didn't know what he was thinking, so he picked up the banknote and muttered: "Uncle Guan, Sixth Brother, you have the most people and the most strength in this matter tonight. Some brothers were injured when we did it. In this way, the arrest team will
The side is nine hundred taels, and the Sichuan gang is also nine hundred taels. You take it and divide it among the brothers."
"Si Wazi, after such a split, you only have one hundred and forty taels left, how can this be good!"
"Yes, fourth brother, if you give more, we will be fine if we take less."
Master Tao Bo never expected that Han Xiufeng would be so critical, so he reminded: "Brother, it costs money to go to the capital to donate money. Besides, you have contributed a lot to this matter tonight."
"Thank you, Mr. Second, thank you, Uncle Guan, and thank you, brother six," Han Xiufeng put down the banknote and said in his hand, "Who doesn't like money, but a gentleman likes money in a wise way. To be honest, I have never thought about it.
Zhou Zhixian's rip-off just wanted to take advantage of him, but he refused to be accommodating, so he had no choice but to make this decision. With these one hundred and forty taels, if my master and servant are more frugal on the road, they will not have to worry about the cost of going to the capital.
That's enough. As for what to do when we get to the capital, there will always be a solution."
"Si Wazi, listen to me..."
"Uncle Guan, I know you are worried that there is not enough money to fill the vacancy, but you have to think about it the other way around. Filling the vacancy is a bottomless pit. It is no exaggeration to say that no amount of money is enough to fill that bottomless pit. For me, it is too much.
Carrying two or three hundred taels is no different from carrying two or three hundred taels less."
"But……"
"Uncle Guan, don't worry. You have helped me collect more than 300 taels, plus what I have saved over the years. With these 140 taels, I think it should be enough. After all, I only donated
A nine-level inspection. Besides, I don’t know when I will be back after I leave. I have to ask you to help take care of my aunt, Yaomeier, Zhuzi, Zhuzi’s mother, and my family members in the countryside."
Han Xiufeng not only insisted on not giving too much points, but also gave everyone a deep bow.
Master Tao Bo was full of emotions and kept lamenting that the Han family had a great success!
Captain Guan knew his temper and stopped being pretentious. He simply went out to share the spoils with the brothers in the catch squad, and even left a share for the leader of the strong squad who helped guard the Dian Copper on the dock.
Strong people don't know anything.
Jiang Liu's actions made Han Xiufeng a little surprised. He actually took out two hundred taels to honor Master Tao, and another two hundred taels to honor the officials on the arresting team. In the end, only five hundred taels were left.
On the way back, Guan Baotou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Jiang Liu is getting smarter and smarter. He is much more sensible than Yang Si of Chu Qi's family."
"The tea gang is backed by eight provincial guild halls. If not him, who else can you please?"
"That's true. If we hadn't helped them overtly and covertly, they would have been driven out and killed by the tea gang."
Pan Er first experienced a human life lawsuit in which he killed a person without paying for his life, and then experienced a strange incident in which he stole and sold official copper, and everyone got the stolen goods. He was fine as long as he spent money. He actually muttered: "Fourth brother, arrest the head.
I'm not saying you are bad, I just think those officials are too intimidating. We used to always talk about the King's Law, but now we know that the King's Law is to govern ordinary people like us. Only those who are officials can
Don’t be afraid of any royal laws!”
Han Xiufeng didn't expect him to express such emotion, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Although these words are not very pleasant, they are rough but not rough."
"So it's better to be an official. Fourth brother, you are on the right track by donating an official position. I don't have your ability. If I had the ability, I would donate an official position."
"Brother Pan, I thought you... I didn't expect you were interested in the benefits of being an official."
"It's really good to be an official. You can turn the clouds with your left hand and cover the rain with your right hand. Big things are nothing to the official. You can also make money and make a fortune. Tell me, the second master didn't do anything and made money in one night.
More than two thousand taels."
"It's not like he didn't do anything. Let's put it this way. If it hadn't been for him, not only would Han Si and I not be able to make the one hundred and forty taels of silver tonight, but we might also have stolen the chicken without losing the rice. The man named Zhou
The turtle son bites back."
"And there's this!"
"You don't know it outside, but that turtle son is very clever. He really has two official words. He can turn black into white. He actually said that I entangled a group of people to frame him!"
Guan Captou was in the hall at that time. He was really worried about Han Xiufeng at that time, but thinking that the matter was over, he immediately changed the subject: "Four son, you can't sit on the smooth sailing ship transporting Yunnan copper. He is right
You hate him so much that even if he agrees to the ship, you can't get on the boat."
"This is, if I get on his ship again, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."
"If you can't catch his boat, then take the land route. Taking the land route also has the advantage of taking the land route. At least you can marry the second girl of Duan Jingcheng's family calmly. I will go and talk to Duan Jingcheng early tomorrow morning, and I will do as I said before
It's easy to do one thing a day, finish it in six days, marry the second girl of the Duan family and live at home for ten and a half months. It's best to wait until the second girl of the Duan family is pregnant with your baby before leaving."
Han Xiufeng also wanted to stay a few more days, but for every extra day he stayed in the Pan family, one more day of interest would be calculated, and even if he arrived in the capital, it would not be easy to fill the gap. He didn't know how long he would have to wait in the capital, so he weighed it and found out.
He said with a face: "Uncle Guan, when I marry Qin'er, I can only stay at home for ten days at most. If I stay for a long time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Guan Baotou is someone who has been here before. How could he not know what he is afraid of? He couldn't help but smile and said: "Heroes' Tomb of Wenwen Township, Si Wazi, are you afraid that you will fall into Wenwen Township and not be able to climb out, and don't want to go to the capital to submit confessions again?"
Han Xiufeng looked back at Pan Er and said with an embarrassed look: "A little, no, I'm really scared."
Guan Baotou laughed and said: "Good men are everywhere, so be afraid! Ten days are all ten days, but you have to work harder in these ten days to make the second girl of the Duan family pregnant, otherwise you will be in a hurry to marry
What is she doing?"
"Yes, fourth brother, there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having children. This matter cannot be ambiguous."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else, okay?"
"Stop talking, I'll take a shortcut through the alley ahead and go home quickly to get some sleep. I have to help you find Duan Jingcheng tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Uncle Guan, please slow down."
…
Watching the arrester leave, the two of them chatted and laughed before returning to the paper figurine shop.
Zhuzi came back early and had already gone to bed.
Da Tou slept even harder and snored loudly. It was really hard for Zhu Zi to fall asleep.
Han Xiufeng was so tired that Pan Er couldn't bear it anymore. He was too lazy to wash up and went to sleep on the upper bunk. As soon as he lay down, there was a sudden rush of footsteps on the street outside.
Han Xiufeng thought that it was Zhou who had a grudge and wanted revenge, but how did he, a magistrate from Yunnan, know about this place? Just when he was suspicious, there was a loud "bang" sound coming from downstairs, and the door seemed to have been hit from the outside.
It's open.
"Zhuzi, Datou, get up!" Han Xiufeng was shocked and hurriedly kicked Zhuzhu.
