On the wall, everyone clenched their swords and arrows, waiting for news from the front. A battle was imminent.
In Ruijin Town, in Jin Sanzhong's courtyard, the shabby cotton curtain blocked the light of the oil lamp, and the spicy smell of rough wine mixed with the turbid air filled the room.
On the kang, Jin Sanzhong was drinking with five men.
The thin "third daughter-in-law" opened the curtain and entered the house, lowered her head and brought a large plate of chicken to the table, then bowed and stepped back, as light as a shadow.
"Brother Sanzhong, you used to be a well-known figure. Who would dare not give you some face when talking in the town? How come you are like this after not seeing each other for two years? It makes me feel very sad."
A man in his mid-twenties sighed, feeling very sorry for the decadent Jin Sanchong.
Jin Sanzhong took a sip of wine, opened his eyes hazy with alcohol and rebuked: "Tang Xiang, don't look at me thin, brother, I am still a man, but I am plagued by illness and I haven't been able to take good care of myself for a while."
The man named Tang Xiang chuckled: "In the future, I will visit my elder brother often like today. I will eat and drink whatever I need from now on. I just need to take good care of him."
Jin Sanzhong's family was so poor that they couldn't even see a drop of oil during the New Year. The chicken on the table was brought by Tang Xiang from Qili County.
Jin Sanzhong said gratefully: "Hey! It's better for you, Brother Tang. We have a life-long friendship."
Tang Xiang chuckled: "That's of course. It's just that when I first came out, I was too busy to expose the blame. Every day I think about the good things that the three great brothers did back then. That's why I have survived until now."
Several people were silent after hearing such disgusting words.
Jin Sanchong, on the other hand, smiled happily and found it very useful.
After a few chats, Tang Xiang asked about Ruijin Town: "How many people are there in the guardhouse? Do the sergeants come to the town every day?"
Jin Sanzhong shook his head: "The people in the health center don't have contact with us, I don't know how many people are there.
The places where the sergeant goes a lot are the grocery store, Xue Junhu's wine table, and the Song family outside the town."
Tang Xiang nodded, thoughtfully: "You said that the Song family is the military household that grows vegetables?"
Mentioning the Song family, Jin Sanzhong's already dim eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a sinister light: "That's that family. You don't know that there are monsters and ghosts in that house. Whoever goes there will be unlucky."
Tang Xiang looked at the red scar on the back of his neck, and remembered what he had heard when he first arrived in the afternoon, and his eyes suddenly showed contempt.
In Qili County, he heard one of Ming Qiande's men who had escaped said that there was something fishy about the female boss in Ruijin Town. He only saw Ming Qiande holding the woman with his own eyes, and then he twitched all over and died soon after.
Tang Xiang also personally found Ming Gande's body and saw it. There was no injury or trace, but it was weirdly twisted, as if his heart was in pain.
As for the man who beat Han Dasha to death, it was obvious that a piece of the bone in his head collapsed and his brains came out.
When he thought about it, Ming Qiande had always suffered from heart disease, which would occur whenever he drank too much alcohol these years.
In order to block Han Ming, Min Qande braved the cold wind all morning, and he couldn't bear it for a long time.
The woman surnamed Song just happened to encounter Ming Qiande's illness.
As for the white smoke issue, it must have been deliberately made up to avoid being accused of not saving people.
Tang Xiang had already said things even more exaggerated than this.
Now that Jin Sanchong has also broken into the Song family, he can live a good life.
And Han Ming is even more alive and feeling more alive than before.
Jin Sanzhong didn't notice the looks of several people in the room, and was still chattering about things in Broken Gold Town: "I heard from people that Xue Junhan earned seven or eight taels of silver from selling vegetables these few times. You don't know, Song
There are many vegetables grown in my backyard, and the beans and eggplants that Xue Zhuang sells today are in there."
Among the dishes Xue Zhuang sent today, in addition to the usual Chinese cabbage and small green vegetables, there was also a handful of tender beans and five fat, large eggplants.
This is really fresh product. Tianxianglou gave a price of one tael of silver per catty, and also said that there was as much as needed.
In this day alone, the Wei Institute received eight taels of silver. Xue Zhuang was also smiling and bought a lot of drinks when he came back.
When Tang Xiang heard about beans and eggplants at this time, the corners of his mouth turned up and he chuckled. A few eggplants are nothing. If you want to get them, you need someone who grows them.
Moreover, the Song family is a military household, and even the government does not care about it. As long as it is tied up and taken away, it will be sold at a high price.
At this moment, a sharp copper whistle suddenly sounded outside the town. Tang Xiang got off the kang, and the five people rushed out of the house in panic. They froze in place as soon as they went out.
At this time, there was a blazing fire in the direction of Broken Gold Guards, reflecting half of the sky red, and there were people shouting in the night wind.
Soon the voices changed direction, and the night wind became calm.
The sergeant didn't come to town.
"What's going on?" One person asked with a trembling voice. The sound just now was from the guards dispatching troops. He was so frightened that he thought they were coming to arrest one of his own.
Tang Xiang was also startled. When he saw that there was only a whistle but no movement at the guard station, he realized that it was a misunderstanding.
He had been living in Ruijin Town for five years and knew the terrain here very well. At this time, he began to make crazy calculations in his mind: The direction the sergeant was going should be towards the newly built Guanqiang. Could it be that the Di tribe came here again?
No, after the group of Di people succeeded five years ago, they had already fled deep into the Dilu grassland with the money from human trafficking.
Without anyone to guide them, they didn't dare to come here, not to mention there was a sergeant from the guard station here.
Tang Xiang stared at the sky in the courtyard for a few breaths, then suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, listen, it should be the gang from Lao Shanlin who came out again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
, we can’t wait, we have to take action first. Come on, go into the room and talk in detail.”
Five people got into the house again.
Seeing the panic on the faces of several people, Jin Sanchong suddenly became suspicious and his eyes widened: "What do you want to do here?"
"Brother Sanzong, do you want to make a fortune?" Tang Xiang asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean, please explain?" Jin Sanchong's drunkenness subsided and he sat upright. He had a vague idea of what Tang Xiang was going to do. These people had done it five years ago.
Tang Xiang pulled out a large package from under the edge of the kang, untied the sheepskin wrapped around it, and revealed several knives.
Today, under the pretext of looking for relatives, he followed Xue Junhu, who was returning from selling vegetables, and came to Suijin Town to pay homage to his ancestors' graves.
Xue Zhuang was still suspicious at first, but two people who were selling vegetables with Xue Zhuang testified against him one after another.
It is said that Tang Xiang was originally from Suijin Town, but he went to Qili County to do business because he needed to make money to support his family.
It's the end of the year now, so it's time to come back and pay homage to the grave.
Someone testified that Xue Zhuang naturally dispelled his suspicions, and Tang Xiang sent a few more things, even the bag he brought with him was not opened.
Seeing the long sword at this time, Jin Sanzhong still didn't understand anything.
Tang Xiang pulled the sheepskin and slowly wiped the edge of the knife, and said in a low voice: "Brother Sanzong, let me tell you the truth, we brothers are here to see Xue Zhuang making money selling vegetables, and we also want to find some money to spend."
Thank you all for your support, allowing me to continuously push and update until now.
To be honest, I really can’t add it anymore, my hair is about to leave me.
In the next few days, I will resume the rhythm of two updates at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock every day, so that I can save my manuscripts and update again one week later.
