He tried to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope on his feet became.
All in vain.
He also looked up to the sky and sighed, no, he looked up to the ground and sighed.
The sound of a carriage came, making him look over.
Even if it was upside down, he could recognize it at a glance. It was his carriage.
Then the carriage stopped not far away.
He watched a young man walking towards him.
No need to guess, he knew that it was Li Qian.
In fact, he had met Li Qi'an, but he didn't have a deep impression of Li Qi'an.
At least before that, if he mentioned Li Qian, he would think about it for a long time before he remembered that he was the bastard in Beiba Village who beat his wife and children all day long.
It is very common for men to beat their wives and children in this era, but if you beat them every day and do not do your job properly, you will be notorious, so this is Qin Wenzhao's only impression of Li Qian.
But it was such a bastard that caused him to be completely defeated.
Qin Wenzhao felt a little incredible, but had to accept this fact.
After all, it was a fact that he was hanging upside down from the tree now.
"Mr. Qin, we have met!" Li Qian said with a smile, "In other words, we have met before, but you may not have much impression of me."
"My carriage, my money, and my people are all yours, right?" Qin Wenzhao just sighed. After all, there is no point in mentioning it again.
Li Qian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin is indeed wise and he guessed them all correctly. However, of the twenty-three people, only Hu Da and the others are left. It's a pity. Mr. Qin, where did you find these people?" Ah, he is loyal enough and not afraid of death. It is really hard to find people like this."
"Loyal enough? Then why would they seek refuge with you?" Qin Wenzhao said with a bitter smile.
"You don't care about them anymore. Who will they turn to if they don't turn to me? In order to get these people to turn to me, I went through a lot of effort. For those who died, I even gave you a pension of 150 taels." Li Qian said.
"One hundred and fifty taels, fifteen people, ten taels per person, is indeed a lot, but your one hundred and fifty taels can not only appease their families, but also people's hearts!" Qin Wenzhao said.
Ten taels of silver is indeed not a small amount. As long as they don't spend it arbitrarily, most people can live with it for several years without any problem.
"I, Qin Wenzhao, have never admired anyone, but I really admire you! Use my money to do your work, and others will be grateful to you. Moreover, you should bring Hu Da and his family to Beiba Village Go?"
"Mr. Qin, you can guess what I do?" Li Qian looked surprised.
"If it were me, I would do the same thing. With their family members as hostages, they can't give up even if they don't want to." Qin Wenzhao sighed again.
It was indeed not unfair for him to lose to this person, but it was a pity that he did not realize the existence of this person earlier.
"Mr. Qin, you may be wrong about this. I don't want to take their family as a hostage. I really want their family to live a comfortable life. Living in Beiba Village is better than hiding in hiding. It's better." Li Qian said.
"Li Qian, I don't care if you really want their family to live a comfortable life, or if you use their family as hostage, in short, I lost, and I lost miserably!" Qin Wenzhao sighed deeply.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Does Mr. Qin know where he lost?"
"Li Qian, I'm willing to do anything else, but why did I step into your trap? How did you guess that I would enter this forest?" Qin Wenzhao just asked.
This is his biggest confusion.
Li Qi'an could use the bandits from Black Wind Ridge to fight with his people until both sides were injured, and then reap the benefits. He could figure it out.
But after he escaped, he accidentally stepped into Li Qi'an's trap, leaving him puzzled.
If Li Qi'an had arranged the manpower to catch him at the exit of the secret door, he would have thought better of it.
Li Qian smiled, "Because I like hunting, and I can understand the habits of some prey. If the prey is frightened, they will definitely not dare to run around in an open place, and will choose to go into the dense forest. And this area, this forest. , so I thought that if I set a trap in this forest, I would definitely be able to catch one or two prey."
"Actually, Mr. Qin, it's really just a matter of probability that you stepped on my trap. I actually wanted to catch a rabbit or two. Who would have known that Mr. Qin would be so unlucky to step on my trap."
Qin Wenzhao was speechless for a long time before he said, "In other words, I am not even as good as a rabbit?"
