In the Qin Dynasty, the law of sitting together was practiced. Five families were in a group, and ten families were together. Supervise each other and report each other. If you don't expose it, ten families will be together.
Ma Sheng and Tietou's family are right next to each other. If Tietou commits an offense, their family will definitely be implicated.
It would be fine if Tietou kept a low profile and made a fortune in silence, and others could say he didn't know. But today he was too arrogant.
He came back in a bullock cart and showed off to everyone. That's okay, he shouldn't feed the cows with straw mats, and he shouldn't eat them until their bellies are round.
Let me ask you, in the Qin Dynasty and Guizhou Province, who is willing to eat enough except during the Chinese New Year? Who dares to eat enough?
If it weren't for a windfall, who would be willing to squander it like this?
Therefore, Tieniu is no longer a thief. Ma Sheng didn't like this boastful guy in the first place, so he took this opportunity to arrest him so as not to miss his daughter anymore.
Thinking of this, Ma Sheng went to the theater overnight.
At this time, the gate of the theater city has been closed, but if I want to report rape, the county magistrate will definitely open the door if he is interested.
Sure enough, after Hemp Rope explained his purpose below, the city gate was opened.
The soldiers guarding the city carefully checked his signature, searched his body, and let him in.
When the hemp rope arrived, he was in high spirits. When he arrived at the magistrate's mansion, his legs began to tremble.
This place is so beautiful, so clean, so... Oh, this is the real rich man. What can that guy like Tietou do if he rides in an ox cart once? There is absolutely no way to compare with a truly noble person.
As Ma Sheng thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The servant who led the hemp rope to see the theater commander smiled and said, "Have you never seen a rich person?"
Ma Sheng blushed a little: "A villain born in a humble background, how can he be so lucky to meet rich people?"
The servant smiled slightly and said, "Aren't we going to see you today? It seems that you, husband, will be lucky from now on."
Hemp rope was elated after hearing this and thanked him repeatedly.
After a while, the two came to a room. The servant stood outside the door, bowed and said, "Sir, bring the hemp rope."
A breathless voice came from inside, "Who is Hemp Rope?"
The servant said, "The person who came to accuse me of adultery."
The breathless voice said, "I am reporting rape in the middle of the night. It seems there is a big traitor."
Then, the man seemed to be coming out. But then a woman's voice came: "Ignore him, just ask a few questions here."
So the people inside asked, "Who are you suing?"
The servant looked at the hemp rope, and the hemp rope quickly said, "Sue Tietou, the fellow villager."
The man said impatiently, "Kick him out."
Hemp Rope was a little confused. The servant glanced at the hemp rope and felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel, so he replaced the hemp rope and said inside, "Sir, this iron ox is mixed with a man named Ji Nu."
The voices in the room paused for a moment, and then a somewhat confused voice came, "Ji Nu? This name sounds familiar."
The servant said, "Ji Nu is the slave who escaped."
The people in the room exclaimed, "That's it."
The servant added, "This Iron Ox was originally very poor. But suddenly he came back in an ox cart. He and Ji Nu spent money lavishly, as if they had made a fortune."
The door of the room opened, and Yan Le, the commander of the theater, walked out while arranging his clothes.
Yan Le looked at the two people standing outside the door and said calmly, "So, this Tietou has befriended an escaped slave. And for some unknown reason, the two of them made a fortune? I think they probably did it." Thief."
The servant said, "Young man, I think so too."
Yan Le looked at the hemp rope and asked, "Are you his neighbor?"
Hemp rope responded nervously.
Yan Le smiled slightly and said, "You are very good."
Afterwards, Yan Le told his servants, "Pass my order to summon people immediately to capture Tietou and Ji Nu."
The servant responded and hurried away.
Yan Le took out another small piece of gold from his body and threw it towards the hemp rope. The hemp rope caught it in a hurry.
Yan Le said calmly, "There will be a reward for reporting traitors. You can take this first. When I catch Ji Nu and Tietou, there will be another reward."
Thank you very much for the hemp rope.
After getting the gold, Ma Sheng felt like he was dreaming. Gold, when have you ever seen gold in this life?
Ma Sheng suddenly thought that it would be great if there were a few more gangsters in Dahuaishu Village. Even if one was exposed in a year or two, he would be able to have enough food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Ma Sheng suddenly felt something in his heart and said to Yan Le, "Sir, I have a daughter who is twenty-eight years old and quite pretty. If you are interested, you can ask her to serve you."
Yan Le laughed loudly, "You are sensible, but there's no need for that."
So the hemp rope led the way in front and led the large group of people towards Dahuaishu Village. Logically speaking, it was just to catch a few thieves, there was no need for Yan Le to go there himself.
However, Tian Jing is a powerful man in Qi, and his wealth is as great as that of his country. Ji Nu escaped this time and lost his face, so Tian Jing sent greeting cards to the governors and magistrates in various places. Once Ji Nu was captured, he would be greatly thanked.
How much this heavy thank you means depends on everyone’s understanding. But judging from Tian Jing's family fortune, it should be indispensable.
What's more, money is a trivial matter. Being able to make friends with powerful people is also a help.
When the group of people arrived at Dahuaishu Village, Ma Sheng became a little uneasy.
He said to Yan Le, "The villain points out the path for the adults, and the adults can go and catch him. After all, the villain and Tietou are from the same hometown. The adults come to arrest him, but after all, they feel a little sorry."
Yan Le said calmly, "I want to let these heads of Guizhou know. Those who do evil will be killed, and those who report rape will be rewarded. Follow me in with great fanfare, and let your fellow villagers see your glory today. In the future, they will be like you." Generally, one hates evil as much as he hates it. In this way, our country, Qin, will surely be in peace and prosperity."
Ma Sheng was still a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Yan Le's words and could only nod in agreement.
…………
At that time, Ji Nu and Tietou were sleeping in the bullock cart. The two of them looked at the starry sky and felt sleepy.
Tietou suddenly said, "I'm a little cold."
Ji Nu wrapped up his clothes and said, "I'm a little cold too."
Tietou said, "Why don't we cover ourselves with quilts?"
Ji Nu sighed, "Your quilt is too torn. It would be too embarrassing to take it out."
Tietou said helplessly, "It turns out that being a noble person is so hard, and I don't want to do it anymore."
Ji Nu said, "It's just hard work these days. When I marry your Ma... Ma... what's her name?"
Tietou said, "Little flower."
Ji Nu said, "Yes, if we marry this Mahua, we can return to Shangjun Courtyard and become truly wealthy people."
Tietou hummed, and then asked a little unconfidently, "Can I really marry her?"
Ji Nu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you are already generous enough today. This woman must have secretly promised her that if we propose marriage tomorrow, everything will come true."
Just as the two were talking about this, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. Turning around, I saw that countless torches had been lit up in the village, and it seemed that many people were on their way.
Ji Nu said with emotion, "Why didn't we think of this trick? We should borrow a few people from Lord Banished Immortal. Hundreds of people entered Dahuaishu Village in a mighty manner, and even if they were robbing the bride, they snatched the woman away."
Tietou looked at Ji Nu and was suddenly a little frightened. "Ji Nu, tell me honestly, have you never seen anything big in the world?"
Ji Nu felt angry as if he had been exposed. He said loudly, "Why haven't I seen it? I work in Tian Jing's mansion, what haven't I seen?"
Of course, what Ji Nu actually saw was just piles of things in the warehouse and a bunch of numbers on the account books. He never even left the courtyard. But he would definitely not say such disrespectful words.
Tietou pointed to the torch in the distance and said, "They are obviously here to arrest people."
Ji Nu snorted and said, "Yes, I've known for a long time that he was the one arresting someone. I just didn't tell you."
Tietou was a little puzzled and said to himself, "Everyone in Dahuaishu Village is as timid as a mouse and never dares to commit crimes. Who are they going to arrest?"
Before these two people could finish their sighs, torches surrounded them.
Ji Nu asked Tietou in a panic, "Are they here to arrest people?"
Before Tietou could answer, someone came out holding a torch and shouted, "Ji Nu, Tietou, something happened between you two. Come with us quickly."
Tietou was so frightened that he wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Brother Ji Nu, what should we do?"
Ji Nu looked at Tietou and said, "Do you have any extra clothes at home?"
Before Tietou could figure out what these incomprehensible words were about, officers and soldiers from Xicheng had already rushed in and arrested the two of them.
As for the cow, it was naturally regarded as evidence and was taken away.
The villagers in Dahuaishu Village were alarmed by such a big movement. They all stood at the door of their house, looking at the tied-up Tietou and Ji Nu, with disdain on their faces.
Someone spat and said, "I've known for a long time that you two are not good people."
Another person scolded, "You are just doing evil, but you dare to go back to your hometown. How audacious."
Some people were smarter and quietly ran to Tietou's home to see if there was anything valuable.
As a result, I kicked open the door and saw that the house was really bare. There is no way to get any benefits.
Tietou lowered his head while being scolded, and suddenly asked Ji Nu with a sad face, "Brother, do you think Ma Hua... is still willing to marry me?"
Ji Nu sighed and said to Tietou, "Brother, now it's not a question of whether Ma Hua will marry or not, but a question of whether you and I can survive."
Tietou suddenly came to his senses and asked the pawn next to him, "I...what crime have we committed?"
The pawn knew a little bit about the inside story and said calmly, "Make friends with traitors and enter the mountains as thieves."
Tietou and Ji Nu looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Do you know the thief?"
