"Yes! This time when we go to attack Phoenix Villa, there will be at least some casualties. Not to mention recuperation and compensation, I think the master must have made arrangements, but if the people in the Villa are killed, the government will have to give an explanation. [Full text Reading] This life-saving money is indispensable."
If there is no one to take the lead, the group of people fighting against the society will not be willing to die. They still understand the most basic principle of killing to pay for life.
"This is easy to say, how much will it cost?"
"Forty taels per person, at least ten lives must be prepared."
Shi Weng seemed to find it too expensive: "It costs four hundred taels of silver!"
Four hundred taels of silver is by no means a small amount. If a soldier is killed on the battlefield, the pension can only be ten taels, and the family members can get even less.
"Thirty taels of silver costs one life, and 10 taels of silver is the cost of management." Cao Guangjiu explained carefully. To take the blame for death, you not only have to buy a human life, but also spend money to manage every level from the county magistrate to the prison chief, the secretary of the execution room... otherwise, if you make things difficult at the moment, a big case will immediately break out. So this administrative fee is essential.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Half of July has not yet arrived, and the entire city of Hangzhou is already undercurrent. The foxes and rats in the city seem to have smelled something. Some are gearing up, preparing to fish in troubled waters and make a big profit; some are ignoring it and are unwilling to wade into the troubled waters this time.
In Phoenix Villa, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Not only do the combat teams practice every day and go to double posts day and night, they also set up a watchtower on the top of the mountain to monitor the surrounding activities at all times.
Zhao Yingong and Zhao Tong both knew that the enemy's attack would happen soon, but the specific day, how many people there would be, and how they would attack were still unknown. It's up to Xihua to find out.
However, there has been no movement since Jia Le came into contact with Xihua two or three times. Although people were secretly monitored day and night, no outside contact was found.
Judging from the conversation between the two reported by Xihua. Jia Le is obviously trying his best to persuade Xihua to turn against the enemy and become a traitor. But the "benefits" of being a mole never came up in the conversation.
According to general rules, if you want someone to be a traitor, you must first have great benefits. Secondly, there must be a way out in the future. But Jia Le never mentioned these two things.
Judging from Xihua's report, Jia Le continued to "show justice". Emphasizing that Zhao Yingong was a "one-man thief" who "brought harm to the people". This is a bit dumbfounding.
However, this method of instigating rebellion left Zhao Yingong confused: What kind of strategy is this opponent? What is the use of sending a little girl to say that this surname is boring?
Xihua is indeed a girl with a strong sense of justice, but Zhao Yingong also firmly believes that she will not be moved by the parrot-like words that the little girl heard from somewhere.
Zhao Tong, who was sent to inquire about the teacher of the free school, finally found some clues through bribery and kidnapping threats: the teacher who runs the free school is named Hao Yuan, and he has lived in Nanxiawa for almost a year. Hopes are high. He lives next door to Jia Le's house. I often interact with the Jia family. But that's all.
This Hao Yuan suddenly left Nanxiawa about ten days ago and his whereabouts are unknown. Zhao Tong sent several people to sneak into the house he left behind in the middle of the night to search, but found nothing. Zhao Tong calculated that when Hao Yuan left Nanxiawa, it happened to be the day when Jia Le entered the house. Obviously. Jia Le plays the role of messenger. Once the message reaches her, she becomes an abandoned child.
Even if she were caught and tortured, nothing would be gained. She knew the same thing as Zhao Tong knew. Zhao Tong then proposed that Jia Le be executed secretly or transferred to Taiwan for "reform through labor."
"Still, I'll keep her for now." Zhao Yingong shook his head. "Since she is here, she must have other uses, and she will never be just a messenger. Let's see how capable this Hao Yuan is. Send people to keep an eye on her╠╠and Xihua!"
"Chief, Hao Yuan will definitely try to meet Xihua next. Do you want to catch him then?"
"Of course not. Hao Yuan is still a pawn. He is just running the organization under the instructions of others. There must be a big shot behind him. It will be of no use to catch him. It is just to scare the snake. You keep an eye on him and use him as a thread to arrest him. Dig out all the culprits behind them and wipe them all out, leaving not a single blade of grass growing!" Zhao Yingong said viciously, with a irritable look on his face. Over the past few days, he had been tortured by invisible pressure and had trouble sleeping and eating. His cheeks were thin and there was a dark circle around his eyes.
He has already called the Executive Committee and requested to mobilize Kaohsiung's special reconnaissance team to prepare for a thorough "targeted killing" operation in Hangzhou.
"Tell Xihua that there will definitely be people meeting her these days and ask her to be more reserved. Don't agree quickly. I think the enemy is not simple."
On this day, Xihua was settling the accounts at Cihuitang Homeschool. She was not only the principal of the orphanage, but also a teacher, nanny, and also in charge of logistics and finance.
"Miss Xihua, a shopkeeper from Maoxing has arrived, saying he is here to check the accounts with you."
"Invite him in." Xihua didn't take it seriously. It will be July and a half soon, and in a month's time it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the "three festivals". Every shop must settle accounts and clear out debts.
Maoxinghao is a local grocery store that specializes in supplying Phoenix Villa. Cihuitang's orphanage has a special chapter in this mulberry house.
Children have always been the most important human resources of the Senate. No matter where they are, there is always a policy preference for the "children of the Senate". Whether it is living conditions, health care or culture and education, all they enjoy are naturalized civilians. The best one. Therefore and Maoxinghao
Although there is no such condition in Hangzhou, the orphans in the orphanage are still the "highest class" among the refugees. The cost is also the highest. We also have a lot of dealings with Maoxing.
"How are you, Miss Xihua." What came in was a young man, neatly dressed and elegant in manners, much like a "big man" from a big shop.
"Okay, how are you, shopkeeper He?" Xihua felt that the person coming here was very strange. He was not a regular guy at Maoxing, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Sit down."
"He is well, old man. Thank you for sitting down." The young man had a cool attitude, gently lifted his clothes and sat down.
Xihua was waiting for him to check the account, but saw that this man took out the account book and put it on the coffee table without checking it. He was surprised when he suddenly heard him say: "Is this kid Jia Le still suitable?"
Silver suddenly felt his heart tightening, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "His talent is still useful, but sometimes he can't help but be smart."
"After all, she is a filial piety, a little clever, so she can't help but get carried away. Thanks to the girl for bearing with me." The young man said with a slight smile, "I have heard about Miss Xihua for a long time, and I am really lucky to meet you today."
"Enough with the flattery, what are you doing here?"
"This is Hao Yuan. I am Jia Le's tutor." Hao Yuan said very calmly, "I think the girl also knows why I am here."
"I will definitely not do what you want to do." Xihua said expressionlessly, "I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. I know that you are a kind and responsible man, and I don't want you to get involved in it. Just leave quickly. .”
"The girl is indeed benevolent and righteous!" Hao Yuan praised, "If a person like the girl works for Zhao Yingong, she is aiding the evil."
"Master is kind and righteous to me."
"This is a small favor." Hao Yuan said seriously.
"Small kindness and small righteousness? Could it be that you have great kindness and righteousness to others?" Xihua sneered and pointed out the window, "None of the tens of thousands of refugees outside can survive in the world without relying on Master Zhao's kindness. Many of these children originally He died of cold and hunger. Now he has enough food and clothing here, and he still has Shu Nian. Is it because of your kindness?"
Hao Yuan was not angry at all: "Of course I don't have the financial resources of Mr. Zhao. In terms of doing good, Mr. Zhao can be regarded as the number one person in Hangzhou, no, maybe in the entire Jiangnan."
"Since you know this, why do you want me to do something that is not beneficial to the proprietor?" Xihua said, "This villa is where many people live and feed. Once the villa is destroyed, what will these people take care of? Could it be that you are responsible for them all?"
"I'm just a small private school teacher. Of course I can't take on such an important responsibility."
"Then what else do you have to say?"
"Of course the food and clothing of these tens of thousands of people is important, and the good deeds Mr. Zhao has done are a feat. But have you ever thought about where these mountains of gold, silver, and mountains of rice and cloth come from?" Hao Yuan opened the fan calmly. , shaking it gently, "Mr. Zhao doesn't know how to turn stones into gold, and he doesn't have a cornucopia at home. This money may not necessarily fall from the sky."
"What's so strange about this? I'm just good at business and hair growth."
"To make money in business and seek profit. This is the proper meaning. It's just that Mr. Zhao's business is to make money unconscionably. What he earns is not money, but people's blood!" Hao Yuan changed his expression. Smiling calmly, he said seriously. He then lowered his voice and said, "Everyone can see what Zhao Yingong did in Hangzhou. Could it be that only girls can't see it?" He pointed out the window with his hand, "You only saw how many refugees he took in and how many lives he lived. Starved to death. Look at how many people he has caused to starve to death with his own hands!"
"That's nonsense!" Xihua scolded with a straight face, "How dare you! How dare you come here and talk nonsense! As long as I say hello, you will no longer exist in the world!"
"Conspiracy for the poor people in the world, why should Hao be afraid?" Hao Yuan said calmly, "It's just a naked skin that comes and goes without worries. If the girl wants to take it away, Hao will have no complaints. He will die in his rightful place." "
Hao Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xihua, please be patient. Zhao Yingong is very kind to you. He is as kind as a mountain to you and to everyone in Phoenix Villa. But have you ever thought about the people in Phoenix Villa?" Tens of thousands of people are fed and clothed, how many poor people outside are supported by their people?!" He looked serious, "You have clothes to wear, food to eat, books to read to your children, paper and ink... Do you know how many people there are? Selling land and going bankrupt because of this?”
