In the middle of the night, six men carrying hoes, axes, chisels and other agricultural tools stood in the woods beside the river beach digging soil.
"Boss, it's not as easy as wiping the neck with a knife. Why do we have to work so hard to dig holes to breed people?"
The leader of the cultivators slapped the man on the back of the head and reprimanded in a low voice: "What do you know? There are so many people who kill people by wiping their necks. We are the only ones who cultivate people. Only such a unique way of killing can make the whole world remember us. Otherwise, wouldn’t we be like other murderers, who have to wait until the end of the year to become famous, join the Demon Cult, and follow the leader of the Cult to eat well and drink spicy food?”
"Boss, you are so wise!"
"I'm so sorry for flattering you, are you ready to dig in?"
"It's almost done! It's almost done!"
"Hurry up! We're going to do something big tonight. There must be a lot of fat sheep on the flower boat. We'll rob whoever comes off later."
"Boss, you said yesterday that the real wealthy businessmen live in remote places where the air is good. As a result, we robbed two hundred and fifty people last night."
The leader of the cultivator kicked the speaker on the butt: "Don't mention that damn blind man, it's bad luck."
"Boss, the digging is done."
The six shadowy figures threw down their farm tools and hid them at the necessary place on the way back from the river bank.
Several people saw two disheveled and elegantly dressed men getting off the flower boat. They were swaying unsteadily, and two boys quickly came up to help him.
The two young men each supported their young master through a dark path. The young master of the household minister's family was okay and could walk on his own. Jia Zhengjing was already drunk and staggered. As he was walking, Jia Zhengjing suddenly felt sick. I was so drunk that I stretched my neck and vomited on the roadside with a "wow" sound.
"Ahhhhh..." The boss in black was taking a nap when he was vomited on.
Jia Bujia was startled, squinted his eyes and convulsed: "How can this grass scream? It's really unpleasant, far worse than the one just now, I don't like it, how can there be a knife in this grass? Hehehehe ..." As he said that, the man in black had already put the knife on his neck.
"Brother Jia is a strong...robber."
"Master, it's a robber. We met a robber." The two young men looked at the knives on their necks and trembled with fear.
The leader of the plowman said in disgust: "It's really unlucky to ride a horse today. Let's take him away and give him a good beating first. I'll go to the river to wash my hair."
After a while, the farmer returned to the grove, placed a sack in front of the three people, and said viciously: "Hand over any valuable treasures you have, or else my hands and feet will be chopped off."
The two boys rummaged through everything and found only dozens of taels of silver.
The man in black pointed the knife at Jia Zhengjing and another young man: "You two look like they are rich, hand over your treasure."
"My father is the Minister of Household Affairs, how dare you." Several men in black slashed his hands and feet with large knives, and then he changed his words and said, "I have money, I'll give it to you, I'll give it all to you, don't kill me." ."
I saw Jia Bujia staggering over, then jumped into the bag and squatted down.
"Master?" The young man was a little puzzled by Jia Zhengjing's confusing behavior.
"We only rob money, not people."
Jia Bujia's face turned red and her eyes blurred as she said, "My mother said that I am the most valuable treasure of the Jia family, hehe..."
"CAO, take off his clothes and search."
Several farmworkers went into battle together and stripped Jia Zhengzheng naked in three strikes. One of them said excitedly: "Boss, we've made a fortune. The jewelry on this kid's body looks like high-quality goods. He can definitely buy it at a good price. He also has so many gold bars on his body, which add up to ten thousand taels." Bar."
Jia Bujia had just picked up a batch of gold from his flower boat account on a whim when he was drunk. He would probably be so drunk that his intestines would turn green after he sobered up.
The leader of the cultivators looked at the gleaming treasures with great excitement: "With this money, we can recruit troops, return to the northwest, and join the Demon Cult, hahahaha..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"If you can't keep your laughter down, what will happen if we attract the night watchmen?"
"Boss, you too..."
"Stop talking nonsense, tie the three of them up and plant them in the soil. I originally planned to release poisonous ants to make their lives worse than death. For the sake of money, I won't bother with that fool about spitting on my head. Leave a hole for them. Let them live or die."
Seeing that his young master was still squatting in the sack and having fun, one of the servants lost his composure and struggled: "We are the nephews of our master, Jia Shutang, who is the governor of the town. You... uh uh uh... uh uh..."
"It's much quieter. Let's start planting. Remember our spell?"
"Never forget"
Five men in black stood in a circle with serious faces, holding farm tools, and muttered:
“Dig a hole, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five;
Your own soil, your own land, whatever you plant, you will gain fame in the world. "
Then, several people escaped into the night and disappeared.
At dawn, a fishing boat passed by. The boatman jumped when he saw eight little legs on the river beach saying YES.
…
A new day has begun again, another day of paddling. Su Xiaolou went to Donglin Academy to show his face and then slipped away. Director Liu and Director Cui also turned a blind eye. As long as Su Xiaolou didn't Just make trouble.
Su Xiaolou walked into Bai Xiaosheng's teahouse in a big way. A waiter saw Su Xiaolou coming and said: "Hey! The official is here. Please come inside and specially reserve a seat for me. The melon sales have been good recently. I want it." Don’t you want some?”
The scholar asked: "What melons are there?"
"There are so many melons these days. They have everything. They are very exciting and some are still ripe."
When Su Xiaolou saw Bai Xiaosheng at the counter, he waved Su Xiaolou over and left.
"What's up?"
Bai Xiaosheng whispered: "A few more people were planted in the soil last night."
Su Xiaolou's curiosity was suddenly aroused and he asked: "Who?"
"It's Jia Zhengjing, the son of the Jia family whom the official mentioned to me some time ago. I heard that when the person was dug out, he was stunned and only half of his life was left."
"They're not dead. What a disaster!" Su Xiaolou then asked, "Where were they robbed?"
"On the river next to Yanliu Lane, there are many flower boats floating on it at night."
"It seems that there are indeed new people in Nanjing. Jia Zhengzheng will not let that group go."
"Jia Zhengjing was robbed of nearly 10,000 taels of silver. How could he be willing to do so? He cursed and went to Yingtian Mansion to beat drums and complain, saying that he must find those people."
The Jia family has been really unlucky recently, with ups and downs happening one after another.
…
At this time, the Yingtian Mansion became lively. Jia Shutang chased Jia Zhengjing all over the house and beat him regardless of dignity. Jia Zhengzheng covered his buttocks and howled all over the room. It was Mrs. Jia who hurriedly arrived and shocked Jia Shutang. Mrs. Jia held her son in her arms. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Jia Shutang with a vicious look.
What happened last time was that Jia Shutang was sorry for Mrs. Jia, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Dad, I fell into their trap just because I accidentally got drunk, otherwise I..."
"You still have the nerve to say, what are you doing with so much money on your body? Are you going to climb into the wishing pool to be a bastard?" Jia Shutang angrily interrupted Jia Zhengjing's words. Just as he was about to leave his mouth, he saw Mrs. Jia holding back his words.
Jia Shutang changed his mind and said: "There are no clues now, and you are drunk and unconscious. You don't know anything. The group of people had their faces covered, and the two boys couldn't see anything clearly. We can only admit defeat."
Mr. Zhao from Yingtian Mansion said: "The study hall can't be said to have no clues. Last night, one of Su Xiaolou's subordinates from Jinyiwei Xiaoqi was also attacked with the same technique. It may be the same group of people. Presumably he will know something. "
Mentioning this Su Xiaolou, the Jia family's father and son are itching with hatred. Now the Jia family is restless every day, thanks to Su Xiaolou: "It must be that Su Xiaolou, who pretends to be suing for peace on the surface, and maliciously retaliates behind the scenes. First of all, Let your men be kidnapped and escape suspicion, then follow me and take advantage of me."
When Jia Shutang saw that Mr. Zhao from Yingtian Mansion was still there, he sternly rebuked: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence and frame others."
Jia Shutang led the family away and sent the Jia family's mother and son back to Jia's house. After that, Jia Shutang rushed to the house of Mr. Sun, the minister of household affairs.
