A basin of dirty and smelly sewage poured down.
Ma Biao shook his groggy head. When he could open his eyes and see his surroundings clearly, he realized that he had been tied up. Qin He was standing beside him, holding a sewage bucket in his hand.
He was about to get angry, but after seeing the strong man next to the boy named Qin, he temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest.
"Brother Qin, isn't this Ma Biao?"
Xu Gang sneered.
"This bastard has been a bandit for several years, and he no longer knows how high the sky is. Brother Qin, I will cut off his fingers one by one for you to vent your anger!"
Unlike Qin He, who is famous for his loyalty, Xu Gang is cruel by nature, and everyone knows that what he says is not a threat!
"Brother Xu, I have no enmity with you!"
Ma Biao dared to shout when facing Qin He, but not when facing Xu Gang.
"This is Liang Zi, surnamed Qin, and I. Don't come into this muddy water!"
After hearing this, Xu Gang smiled honestly and ignored him. He reached out and patted his body, but couldn't find anyone who could take advantage of him, so he directly grabbed one of Ma Biao's hands.
Before Ma Biao could ask for help, he heard a "click" and one of his fingers was broken by Xu Gang with a smile.
Evil people will have their way, and Qin He will not stop him.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Gang had broken three of Ma Biao's fingers.
He suddenly said: "It's too troublesome to break each root. I'll find a stone and smash his hand to pieces!"
Xu Gang was not threatening, but actually bent down and rummaged around on the ground.
Seeing that Ma Biao was sweating profusely in pain, Qin He smiled and stopped Xu Gang.
"Gang'er, this Ma Biao is a fugitive wanted by the government. Don't let him die. If you send him to the government, we can still get some rewards."
"I listen to Brother Qin." Xu Gang threw down the stone he just picked up and said with a naive smile.
When Ma Biao heard this, his face became even more ugly.
After this incident, he also knew that Xu Gang had obeyed Qin He, so he begged.
"Brother Qin, I...I'm just here to collect the bill, so I don't have any deep grudges. Otherwise...will you spare us this time?"
Ma Biao, who was mad not long ago, actually softened at this moment.
Liu, who had been knocked to the ground and was pretending to be dizzy with a pockmarked face, heard Xu Gang's words. He knew that if Ma Biao was really sent to the Yamen, his days would probably be over.
At this juncture, he no longer pretended to be faint, got up and begged: "Brother Qin, I...I..."
But after holding it in for a long time, Pockmarked Liu didn't say anything. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but when he was talking, Xu Gang stepped on his back, making it difficult to even breathe, not to mention talking. .
"Brother Qin didn't say not to kill you." Xu Gang smiled grimly, "You can't exchange for reward, and you can't be sold into a brothel, so it's useless to keep it!"
After saying that, he pinched Pockmarked Six's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Brother Qin——!" Maw-faced Liu used all his strength, "I'm willing to do anything for you, please-please spare my life-!"
"Xu Gang, stop it." Qin He said.
Xu Gang followed his words and threw the pockmarked Liu away.
"It's not impossible to spare you..." Qin He said leisurely.
Xu Gang couldn't help but said: "Brother Qin, why do you keep this kind of person? I will strangle him to death and throw him into a mass grave at night. Who cares about this business?"
Hearing that Xu Gang wanted to persuade him again, Ma Biao, who was half lying on the ground, hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, no matter what the conditions are, as long as you don't send me to the Yamen, I will agree."
With Ma Biao's words, Qin He's face didn't change much, but he had already begun to make calculations in his heart.
It's not that Qin He has a good impression of Ma Biao, on the contrary, he completely hates this kind of person.
But now that he is in the private salt business, it is naturally impossible to ask ordinary people for help with some things. People like Ma Biao still have to do it.
After all, such a risky business as selling smuggled salt will inevitably lead to death in the future. Only the death of such a scoundrel wouldn't make him feel bad.
Seeing Qin He's expressionless face as if he was thinking about something, Ma Biao couldn't help but panic and began to plead again.
"As long as you spare me this time, my life will be yours!"
Before Ma Biao could continue to plead, Qin He's voice rang out.
"It's not impossible to spare you, but you have to do things with me from now on."
After receiving Qin He's affirmative reply, Ma Biao took a breath.
The pockmarked Liu who was thrown to the ground by Xu Gang was also relieved when he heard this.
As long as the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. As long as the life is still there, then everything is easy.
"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next." Qin He said coldly.
After a while.
Both Ma Mian Liu and Ma Biao had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Smuggling salt..." Pockmarked Six whispered.
You must know that selling illegal salt is a serious crime that will kill your head. If you are caught...
Ma Biao next to him gave the answer faster.
"Brother Qin! I'll do it!"
He is already a bandit, why should he be afraid of adding another crime to his body?
Qin He nodded with satisfaction. Knowing that this kind of desperado is the easiest to agree to.
Ma Biao had already given the answer, and Qin He's eyes fell on the pock-faced Liu and another man on the side.
Pockmarked Liu's expression was very complicated, especially after hearing his brother's promise, he still nodded decisively.
"Damn it, do it! If you really rely on selling these small items, you don't know when you will get ahead!"
Now, only the last taciturn man remained who had not made a decision, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
Seeing this, the man bit his lower lip and nodded vigorously.
"That's right! I forgot to introduce you! This is someone I met when we were on the mountain. His name is Li Yang! Like me, he was forced to go up the mountain by the Yamen."
After seeing Li Yang nodding, Ma Biao started to introduce.
Qin He didn't care about this. Seeing that the three of them had agreed, he nodded with satisfaction.
"In this case, I won't treat you badly. From now on, if you help us work, you will get four silver coins per month, and one silver coin every six months. Of course, if there is any injury or the like during work, I will be fully responsible for it."
Qin He paused for a moment before continuing.
"If someone loses his life, he will give two taels of silver to his relatives as a pension, and one tael of silver will be added for every six months of working time."
Hearing this, the six or three people with pockmarked faces could not help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
They didn't expect Qin He to offer such conditions.
——Not to mention the precarious untouchables, even the yamen servants who work as errands in the yamen only get this little salary.
Everyone knows that selling salt can make money, but they never thought that selling salt can make so much money!
It is said that money can make people go around, and this is even more true in southern Xinjiang.
The eyes of the three people have begun to shine.
After listening to Qin He's words, Xu Gang untied the three people and asked in confusion: "These are not good people, why should we use them?"
"The road of selling salt is not accessible to good people."
Qin He said with a smile.
"We are at the bottom of this world. If we are still timid about employing people, how can we turn around?"
Xu Gang didn't understand the truth behind Qin He's words, but he was also restrained by Qin He's aura.
Qin He patted Xu Gang's shoulder and said no more.
Xu Gang was stunned for a moment - in a trance, he saw a carp with raw horns and was about to climb over the dragon gate!
