Cousin Guo Xiaosi's words made Guo Xiaoliu's eyes widen and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Xiaosi, are you okay with Fenghan? That's the county guard. Who dares to arrest him? Who can arrest him?"
Guo Xiaosi smiled, shook his head, and told what happened in his store just now.
Then he persuaded: "Cousin, listen to me, now is our opportunity. Only when these gentlemen come in can we have a chance to make a fortune. The money in this box has not been accounted for yet. The county governor himself I don’t know.
We two brothers can definitely add two to one to make five, and we won’t know anything if we just divide it equally.
This may be the only chance in this life. Cousin, you need to know that the brave will be starved to death and the coward will be starved to death!
These days, if you want to transfer money, you have to be bold! Otherwise, everyone will be full and you won’t even be able to drink the soup! "
Guo Xiaosi thought that his advice would definitely make his cousin join him in the crime and share the money together, but what he didn't expect was that his cousin's face turned serious after he told about the arrest of Li Yi and others. stand up.
At this moment, she didn't listen to his advice and wanted to share the money equally with him. She quickly grabbed the box from Guo Xiaosi and said immediately: "Okay, Xiaosi, this money is not that easy to get, and the county guard It's not certain whether the adults can come out. Don't take the money, but you will also be killed.
Then it's really not worth the gain. "
Hearing what his cousin said, Guo Xiaosi looked at his cousin in surprise as if it was the first day he met him.
But looking left and right, he saw that his cousin had not been transferred, but what was going on with him?
My cousin is not someone who is so dedicated to his work. At this moment, when he knows that the county magistrate has been arrested for corruption and bribery, and he will never come back, he doesn't just leave with the money and still help him. Sheriff Li, who had already been arrested, was saving his money. Was his brain burned out by the cold?
Thinking like this, Guo Xiaosi reached out to touch his cousin's forehead, but was blocked by his cousin.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm not sick!"
"I'm not sick. What nonsense are you talking about? I saw it with my own eyes, Commander Li. He was arrested by the prince, how could he still be released? Your brain is definitely burned out!
cousin. Just listen to me and come with me, take some money and leave. These high-ranking officials are finished! "
Guo Xiaoliu looked at his cousin with a complicated expression and sighed heavily: "Why do you think I don't want to?
But it won’t work, Commander Li will guard him..."
…
"If we want to get out, this is the only way!"
"You are crazy! With the prince's character, he will never compromise!"
"No? Hum, that's just that he still has a choice. Once trouble breaks out, he won't even have a choice. Otherwise, could he still kill so many people?
As for crazy?
My life is almost gone. If I don’t go crazy, it will be too late!
If you have any questions, we’ll talk about it later. Let me save my life first! "
"No, I will never do this to you, you have to do it yourself!"
"Hmph, you are pedantic! Just do it by yourself. By then, the Sheriff will be alive and well, and I will just watch you two being beheaded!"
In the dungeon, Li Yi and Jiang He broke up unhappy and each found a corner to stay by themselves.
Jiang He had a complex look on his face, but Li Yi looked much calmer, looking out of the cell with eyes full of expectation.
Jiang He walked up to Zhu Tuo, who had been staying silently in the corner, with a complicated expression. Zhu Tuo made room for him, and Jiang He sat down.
"Did you hear what he just said?"
Zhu Tuo nodded silently.
"Don't you have any idea?"
Jiang He asked.
Zhu Tuo shook his head and said: "Let him make trouble, but I am too lazy to make trouble with him, and I don't think the prince will compromise with him."
Jiang He sighed: "Yes, with the prince's character, how could he compromise with him?
And they also united with all officials involved in the matter to stop and put pressure on the prince?
Ha...it was another moment when countless heads fell to the ground. "
"That's how he is, and he doesn't care. As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care if others die or are injured.
Even though he is the one who has followed the prince the longest among the three of us, he is also the most dissatisfied!
I was good at the beginning, and he was the one who pulled me into the water. Otherwise, if someone else had come the first time, I would have been arrested long ago! "Zhu Tuo sighed, and then said helplessly.
Jiang He was stunned when he heard this. Was Zhu Tuo dragged into the water by Li Yi?
His expression was obviously not well hidden, and Zhu Tuo saw it immediately. Looking at the surprised look on his face, he wondered: "What? Weren't you dragged into the water by him?"
Jiang He quickly came to his senses and immediately shook his head: "No!"
"Tsk..."
Zhu Tuo seemed to make a mockery, but then he thought that he was not much better, and the mockery suddenly became a bit like self-deprecation.
"Back then...how did you get dragged into the water by him?"
Zhu Tuo sighed after hearing this: "This starts with my cousin. That day my aunt suddenly came to tell me that my cousin had found a job. I was quite happy at first.
You don’t know that my cousin has been very lazy since he was a child. When he did some work, he would complain that he was tired. He didn’t want to do anything. He stayed at home and chewed on his parents all day long.
Now that I have found a job, even I am surprised.
Later I realized, haha, this was all Li Yi’s way of dragging me down!
What kind of job, you don’t even have to do any work, just give your name and get paid every month?
So the boss has something wrong with his brain to recruit people like this, right?
This is what I thought at first, but later I realized that it was not the other person who was stupid, but myself.
Starting with my cousin, then my brother-in-law, aunts and uncles, the younger generation, or their own children.
They all quickly found similar jobs.
Those bosses don't need them to work and just pay them money every month.
And the only thing they need to do is, when the boss encounters official trouble, just tell the government officials who are performing official duties that I xxx is the county captain Zhu Tuo!
Where are they recruited to work here? This was obviously someone who wanted to use my name to show off his power! "
Zhu Tuo sneered, and then continued with a sad expression: "As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. Finally, someone from below told me the matter, and then I learned about the good deeds they did.
When I want them all to come back from those people, I can't do it like this.
but……"
Jiang He looked at Zhu Tuo's strong and sad expression, and roughly understood what happened, and then said: "But you never thought that the benefits would move people's hearts. How could they be willing to spit out the benefits that have already been eaten by them? Come out?"
Zhu Tuo nodded: "That's right.
After I just told them, my wife, my aunt, my third aunt, all my relatives and elders who were involved in it all started crying to me on the spot, and there was only one central idea.
That is because I have finally become such an official, and I don’t help them much on weekdays. Now that they have found a job of their own, I won’t let them do it!
He said that ever since I became an official, I have developed a bad temper and made trouble for elders like them!
In short, there are various reasons, both soft and hard, with only one purpose, which is to make me relax and allow me to let them borrow their name to continue.
They are reluctant to part with the meat in their mouths.
They are reluctant to part with the benefits they get and are not willing to go back to the old days.
do you know?
When I looked at the strange faces of these relatives, I realized that it was like I was meeting them for the first time.
They were so strange at that time, completely different from what I remembered! "
Jiang He could roughly understand Zhu Tuo's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
Zhu Tuo continued: "Under their successive attacks, even my parents were handed over by them."
A look of pain flashed across Zhu Tuo's face.
"I could still be hard-hearted in the face of them, but when my parents joined in trying to dissuade me, I found that it was impossible to say no.
My parents raised me and worked hard to bring me up as a human being. With my current achievements, I can't refuse them.
In the end, I had no choice but to compromise. Later I found out that this was Li Yi's idea for businessmen who wanted to follow my path.
He knew that with my personality, I would never agree if he approached me.
So he asked those wealthy businessmen to start with my relatives and friends, and then they jointly put pressure on my parents.
Only when the old couple pressures me will I compromise.
He was right and he knew me very well, so I fell for it.
But, I feel uneasy!
I haven't dared to touch any of the money those people gave me, so I just left it in the store. I'm even afraid to look at the money! I only visit once every ten days and a half. "
Jiang He looked at Zhu Tuo in shock. He never expected that Zhu Tuo didn't dare to spend any of the money given by those people.
He really can't understand this!
"Then, do you know how big the net behind this is?"
Jiang He asked.
Zhu Tuo raised his head and looked at him in shock: "You don't know?"
Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I didn't pay much attention to it."
After giving him a deep look, Zhu Tuo withdrew his gaze.
Youyou said: "In the middle of last month, Li Yi summoned everyone for a dinner at Fushun Restaurant.
The people who participated in that event accounted for at least seven levels of officials in Yunzhou County. "
"Hiss! How many!?"
Jiang He took a breath of air.
Zhu Tuo shook his head: "Not only that, but there are also many low-level officials and so on, who are actually involved.
Only high-ranking officials went there that time, but those people almost supported the operation of the entire Yunzhou County, and their hands seemed to have a tendency to develop towards Nanli County. "
Jiang He was really shocked now. If there were so many people and the scope of involvement was so wide, the prince might really be in trouble.
Zhu Tuo glanced at him and then said: "Li Yi has a signature book in his hand. All the people who participated in the meeting signed their names on it, which is regarded as a certificate of submission."
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he was about to get up.
Zhu Tuo suddenly whispered: "You are actually the prince's man, right?"
Jiang He was stunned and looked at him.
Zhu Tuo didn't look at him anymore, he thought to himself: "He was sent by the imperial court, but he turned out to be the prince's man. The prince is really good at it!
What I did just now should be regarded as the last thing I, Lao Zhu, did for the prince. "
After saying that, Zhu Tuo leaned against the cold wall in the cell and closed his eyes.
Jiang He looked at Zhu Tuo with a complicated expression for a long time, and then sighed.
He turned around and walked to the cell, as if venting his grievances, he slapped the iron railings of the cell five times.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Five huge echoes echoed throughout the dungeon and spread far and wide.
Li Yi looked over in surprise, but quickly looked away without caring.
I was minding my own business, thinking about what I wanted to do, and wondering if there would be any mistakes?
After a while, a sound of footsteps slowly approached.
Several guards came to their cell with heavy shackles.
Thumping!
The guard slapped the bars of the cell hard, attracting the attention of the three people in the cell.
Then the guard said coldly: "Interrogation! Be honest and come one by one!"
After speaking, the guard glanced at the three people in the cell, and finally settled on Jiang He.
"You! Mr. Jiang, come and go with the brothers!"
After saying that, several guards opened the cell door and walked in without waiting for a response.
Immediately, the guards put heavy shackles on Jiang He and pressed him out.
Gradually walking away...
