There are very few homicides in Qingshi County.
The police officers in the yamen didn't have much experience in solving major cases, so they made a lot of inquiries and finally settled on robbery and murder.
As for how much money was robbed, I don’t know.
Anyway, there were copper coins all over the place. Maybe the gold and silver had been taken away. People looked down on the copper coins, so naturally they wouldn't pick them up.
It's almost the same. It was indeed a robbery and murder case, and what was taken away was just a book.
Zhou Xiaozhou was a little frightened when he witnessed it.
Killing someone for a book, right?
He still didn't know that the entire Zuo family was bloodbathed because of this book, but he just thought it was a bit exaggerated and a bit unbelievable.
Perhaps there are other reasons. The head of the Zuo family met an old enemy, or someone knew that he was in trouble and came all the way from the royal city to kill him. He just took the book with him...
This book "Forged by God" is actually also obscure and difficult to understand.
When he had some free time, Zhou Xiaozhou copied out the words he didn't know, along with some words from "Ming Yue Jue", and went to the school to ask his master for advice.
Qiao Yan thought he had studied seriously and was very satisfied.
Because he had a lot of money, he didn't have to worry about supporting his family for the time being. Zhou Xiaozhou stayed at home comfortably for more than half a year.
It's definitely not possible to just sit back and have nothing. Instead, find a new way for yourself and strike the iron.
However, blacksmithing is not something you can just do if you want to, and it is not that easy to turn theoretical knowledge into reality. You have to work as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop for a period of time...
While he was thinking about this issue, someone from the escort agency came to see him, saying that something had happened again.
The escort team traveling to and from the county town was robbed again!
It was almost the same as last time, two carts of rice were moved cleanly, and escort Xiao Wang was beaten up.
It was probably that the so-called martial arts people in Qingyuan County had no food to eat, so they thought they could get two bags of rice here and move there easily.
The point is, easy.
There is no risk at all.
If this escort route is robbed again and again, things will get serious.
Ordinary business travelers would be robbed, and the escort would secretly rejoice, but being robbed twice would be no big deal.
The escort agency was going to hold a meeting, so Zhou Xiaozhou, who was preparing the escort, was called back.
After not coming to the escort agency for half a year, Zhou Xiaozhou immediately went to the accounting office.
"Do you have my money?"
The accountant rolled his eyes at him: "What do you think?"
Zhou Xiaozhou said: "If I don't have money, it means that the affairs of the escort agency are no longer my business. I can just slap my butt and leave."
"Your name was not crossed out."
The accountant threw him two taels of silver and said, "If you don't work, you will get paid. This is not an example. It will be hard to say after that. I have to tell the chief escort. Maybe he has forgotten that you are such a famous person."
Qiao Hao seems to be a rough guy, but he is actually very smart. He raised Zhou Xiaozhou with only two hundred and fifty dollars, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb because he thought it was a good deal.
He was injured in a secret escort trip before, and he didn't get a penny in reward.
Because of this incident, Qiao Xing ran back from the county town.
Although two carts of rice are not worth much, no one can bear it if they are robbed frequently. This escort route will definitely lose money.
The brother and sister had a secret discussion and called Zhou Xiaozhou over.
"I heard that you know those robbers?"
"Nonsense..."
Zhou Xiaozhou looked at Qiao Xing and wondered how much she had sold him. After all, they were brother and sister, and they were not close to each other.
"I haven't been out for half a year, how could I know these things?"
Qiao Xing said: "Those people are addicted to robbing. They come here every now and then. You must take this escort route. Don't let something like this happen again, otherwise you will pay for it."
Zhou Xiaozhou rolled his eyes. He hadn't dated each other for half a year and felt that the relationship between them was alienated.
Women value relationships the most, and they will take sides with whoever is closer to them.
"I'm not an escort. No matter what the compensation, I won't do it."
Qiao Xing said: "You will be an escort from now on..."
Qiao Hao was unwilling and said, "Not everyone can be a bodyguard. You must be qualified."
It is an unwritten rule that a bodyguard must start at the Xuan rank and cannot be messed up.
Besides, since Escort Wang had been friends with him for decades, he had to take into account Escort Wang's face and not fire Escort Xiao Wang.
Qiao Xing said: "Whether he is considered an escort or not, the question is whether he can deliver the goods safely. It doesn't matter whether he is a mysterious person, but his ability is important."
"The rules cannot be broken."
Qiao Hao refused and asked, "Zhou Pai Gu, what is your cultivation level?"
I really don’t know.
I have been practicing hard at home for half a year, but I have also taken two Suppressing Army Pills, and I can’t tell what kind of cultivation it is.
There is a cultivation test stone here. Zhou Xiaozhou went up and pressed it, God!
The middle stage of the Yellow Stage.
The cultivation level does not rise but falls.
In fact, this kind of cultivation is more reliable. He is only seventeen years old and has been working in the escort agency for three or four years. No matter how diligent he is, he has just reached the middle stage of Huang rank.
Qiao Xing said: "Cultivation is all imaginary. Xiao Zhou can defeat Xuan Jie and is worthy of being a bodyguard."
"No, rules are rules."
Qiao Hao shook his head resolutely, "Be a waiter, don't be lazy."
"No."
Zhou Xiaozhou also shook his head firmly. He only had such a small income in a month, which he already looked down upon. "I want to resign and plan to go to blacksmithing and become an apprentice in a blacksmith shop..."
"Are you not crazy? Being an apprentice in a blacksmith shop is very hard, and you don't get any wages."
Qiao Xing grabbed him and said, "Don't think too much and work hard. I'll give you three taels of silver per month as an escort."
The basic salary of an escort is three taels of silver, which is much higher than that of a bodyguard.
You can also extract money from the gangsters, and the treatment is indeed not low.
Qiao Hao was a little helpless and had no choice but to say: "Let's have two escorts on this line for now."
The sudden increase from two hundred and fifty to three taels is a qualitative improvement.
Zhou Xiaozhou was a little surprised, so he gave up the idea of going to the blacksmith shop to strike iron, and collected the wages first.
The five new crew members were so happy to see him come back that they felt very kind to him.
Previously, when Qiao Xing led the team, travel expenses were not deducted, and the income was not bad.
After escort Xiao Wang came, he picked them all off, just like escort Wu.
This kind of rule must have been taught to him by his father.
Without comparison, there is no gratitude.
Only the old cat was unhappy, feeling that his good days were coming to an end.
Another smile appeared on his face: "Pai Gu, long time no see, I miss you so much, I really miss you!
You are finally back. With you here, we will not be robbed. You can defeat those thieves by yourself. There are not as many people as you fought last time. You will definitely win. "
There must be at least one person in the escort team who can fight, but Escort Master Xiao Wang is not better than Escort Master Wu. He usually shows off his power, but when he really acts, he is nothing.
Because the escort was missing, Hejia Rice Shop had to replenish its supplies, so they hurriedly got together two more carts.
During this escort trip, I mainly used Lingmi from the He family. When I came back, I brought back some various things. If it runs normally, I can still make money, so I can't give it up casually.
After reloading the truck, the tour operators were much more efficient, hoping that Zhou Xiaozhou could help them get their travel expenses back.
The escort Xiao Wang came over in a hurry, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Without saying a word, he sat down on the shaft of the car with his knife in his hand.
