"Cao, you have made a fortune this time. Do you still want to eat this fat without our recommendation?"
In the dark night, more than a hundred people were carefully infiltrating toward the west side of Tianjin Wei, muttering something while searching for possible enemies.
It was Cao Futian's group and three Ouchi guards who believed that these talisman-drinking water were invulnerable. This 'battle team' crossed the west side of the railway and passed the foreign concession and began patrolling.
The officialdom of the capital is filled with a bunch of old-timers, and they use blackmail and extortion one after another. If a fly catches someone, they will chop off a piece of thigh meat.
The Xiang family offered such a high price, how could they not be tempted? If you work hard, you will have six thousand taels. If the matter is completed, there will be another six thousand. This is twelve thousand.
Even if he is disabled, he still has a small amount of 10,000 yuan, which adds up to more than 20,000 yuan!
A house in the capital is only at this price, and the luxury of this house is too great!
But what does this have to do with court officials? This time, the Xiang family hired experts from the martial arts world and paid for the recruitment of soldiers. As for these government officials, it is only natural for you to save Hunchun. Of course, the money will not be given to you.
Jealous, with the money passing through their eyes but unable to reach it, these few people felt itchy in their hearts, so they began to give Cao Futian eye drops!
"Cao Futian, you have to remember, even if you have extraordinary abilities, if you are not recommended, you are just a waste among the people!"
"Where is the Forbidden City? Without our help, who would know you?"
"Do you still want to be an official and meet the Long Live Lord? Are you still waiting for the title of Marquis and Prime Minister? Then you have to know some rules..."
Can Cao Futian not understand the rules? These people are the local bullies and evil gentry, ruffians and hooligans. They are all obedient and obedient.
"Don't worry, gentlemen... My surname is Cao. I am also a loyal person. If I get the silver reward today, I will count every one of them and take half of them to honor the three adults!"
"Three adults don't be too few. The key is that it's not easy for each of them to support their families. We have to leave some money for them to support their families... But don't worry, we will keep this kindness in our hearts. In the future, there will be no chance of promotion or wealth." Half of the benefits are yours!"
"Ouch... Haha, how embarrassing this is... no reward for no merit, hahaha..."
"No! The adults have paved the way for us and said good things to us. We also need money for tea and drinks! We have a long-term friendship and have a lifelong friendship. We run errands for the adults before and after. This is our blessing!"
It's a big deal. Cao Futian will give out half of it right away. If there are more than 100 numbers, he will give out half a million. It's big enough.
But can it really satisfy the appetites of these people? I'm afraid it's not that simple.
After patrolling for another ten minutes, a guard pulled Cao Futian aside and whispered, "Old Cao... I'm not telling you, you need to be smarter..."
"Money is always good these days, but people are worthless...are these crooked people like yours really worth ten thousand taels? Don't you give them something for free?"
"Think about it, you leave fifty or sixty direct descendants of a hundred people, and you pick out thirty or forty people who grandpa doesn't love and grandma doesn't love... How about we just kill them directly, even if they are sacrificed?"
"The living person only got 12,000 yuan after completing the task, but the dead person sacrificed, they can get 20,000 yuan! Don't you know how to calculate this account?"
"What kind of bullshit is the support for the family? There are so many people killed on the battlefield, but we can still get pensions? Why don't we brothers share this money equally?"
"Twenty thousand silver, each of the four brothers will share five thousand taels. How about we kill forty of them?"
"One person gets two hundred thousand taels of silver for nothing! Think about it, how many times will you have such a good opportunity in your life? Think about it..."
Cao Futian was so frightened that cold sweat spurted out like spring water on his back. He had finally seen what it means to be a wolf with a heart and a dog with a dog's lungs. He really didn't take human life seriously!
Killing forty of his brothers in exchange for a pension of eight hundred thousand taels of silver is too cruel!
"Is this...isn't this bad? We have no excuse...I haven't seen any enemies for a long time. I can't explain it!"
"Haha...Cao Futian, are you scared? It seems that we just looked at you for nothing, you know nothing!"
"That's what war is like. When the South was peaceful and long-haired, the merits were calculated based on heads. Do you think those heads are all long-haired thieves? Pull them, the common people are credited!"
"It's really not enough. I'll kill a few of my disobedient camp leaders. I'll establish my authority again, get rid of dissidents, and get money again!"
"You have money to make, why do you care whether you are your own people or not?"
"See for yourself, aren't those the only ones who can become invulnerable by drinking talisman water? The rest are just fooling around with you. To put it bluntly, they just want to make a living!"
"Haha... Where in the world can you eat and drink for free? At the critical moment, you have to pay for it with your life!"
"You have nothing to do with it? Haha... don't regret it! Don't regret it..."
Cao Futian was so frightened that his knees trembled. "Sir... you guys... I... I either don't dare, or I just can't do it. Please let me slow down, slow down..."
Just as Cao Futian and several guards were plotting, suddenly a whistle imitating the chirping of birds came from the sentry in front, followed by the faint sound of horse hooves.
"Careful cover...there are cavalry...fuck, I really gave you a chance, the rebels are really coming!"
"Haha...Cao Futian, isn't this a good opportunity? Send your people up and rush up to fight the rebels!"
Cao Futian was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "No, this is the cavalry. Can we stop it..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Futian felt a stabbing pain in his lower back. A sharp knife was pressed against his waist. The tip of the knife tore through the flesh and blood seeped out.
"If you don't do it... haha... then I can only exchange your life for 20,000 taels of silver!"
"I'll do it... Sir, don't worry, I'll do it... the brothers in front! Come on, they're just a few stragglers, there aren't many rebels, kill people in exchange for credit!"
These people Cao Futian brought out were all township party members and distant relatives, and they had developed the habit of following orders by hanging out with him.
Whatever the elder brother said, a group of lunatics took out the runes from their arms, licked them with saliva and then they stuck to their bodies!
"Invulnerable... Invulnerable... Taishang Laojun is as urgent as the law... kill!"
More than a hundred lunatics rushed out from the cornfield where they were hiding and rushed in the direction of what they thought were a few stragglers.
The cavalry on the opposite side was none other than the scheming Ronglu. He knew that if he wanted to accomplish extraordinary feats, he had to be imaginative and not stick to the old ways, so his cavalry was approaching Tianjin Guards consciously.
It was almost like seeing the city wall of Tianjin Wei. Suddenly, a group of lunatics with talisman stickers on their foreheads came out in the middle of the night, shocking everyone.
"Ouch... Are there zombies in that cemetery? They are running towards us..."
Ronglu's eyes shone with cold light, "Bah... zombies? The army is coming to the sun! The Lord of Hell has to give way..."
"No shooting, end the battle with cold weapons!"
