The jailer who spoke was probably drunk, his face was red, and he murmured: "It was a dark and windy night for a month, so I packed it in a sack, threw it into a barrel of night incense and transported it out of the city. When it was dark, I threw it into the Bahe River."
, God doesn’t know and ghosts don’t know.”
The jailer next to him was shocked and said: "This is murder! You don't want your life!"
Hearing this, the jailer who had just spoken was stunned for a moment. He was mostly sober. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Look what I'm talking about. I'm drunk and talking nonsense. How could I dare to do such a thing? I'm so happy."
It's just your mouth. Come on, let's drink, drink..."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing what he said. Someone said: "Three dogs, please don't talk nonsense. Human lives are a matter of great importance. If they really die, it will be you who will be held accountable."
"
"Yes, yes, I'm sure to pay attention." The man called "Three Dogs" picked up the jug and helped pour the wine. Seeing how attentive he was, everyone said nothing. One of them saw that the atmosphere was awkward and helped change the topic.
, said: "Have you heard that there have been a lot of missing people in Chang'an City recently?"
"You guys, you are so crazy, there are more than a million people in Chang'an City, do you know how many people are missing?"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" The man said eloquently: "My second aunt's cousin works as a clerk in the West Market, and he told me that. Recently, several famous rogues in the West Market have disappeared inexplicably, and they haven't been there for some days.
Saw it."
"Is there really such a thing?" Someone asked curiously: "Xi City is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, but Chang'an County didn't send anyone to look for it?"
Sangou interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about? The rogue is gone and the government is still looking for him? I think you are drunk!"
"That's right!" The person who spoke smiled and said: "The scoundrels have caused us so much trouble. One less is one. Anyway, it is a matter of Chang'an County and has nothing to do with us. Let's drink and drink."
At midnight, Sangou got off duty and changed shifts with others. He came out of the prison smelling of alcohol, staggered a few steps, and came to a wall to urinate. Seeing him like this, the prison guard joked: "Sangou, you drank too much again."
Really? You, the jailer, have a lot of time!"
"Go!" Sangou cursed, shook his head, pulled up his pants, and staggered home.
The reason why San Gou is called San Gou is because he has an older brother named Er Gou. There are three brothers in the Zhao family. The eldest brother died young, leaving only two of them. His father was originally the jailer of Wannian County and died of illness two years ago.
. The emphasis at the Yamen Gate is that after the father dies, the son succeeds, so a son who is a jailer is left behind. Working as a jailer in a prison is not a handsome job, but it is a lucrative job. If a rich and powerful person is thrown into prison,
These jailers made a fortune.
Originally, this job was going to fall on Ergou, but Ergou gave it to Sangou. He went to the West Market to become a tooth man, but he could barely have enough food and clothing. Sangou relied on his job as a jailer to save money.
I spent some money, got a wife, and gave birth to a son.
I originally thought that I was done with my own affairs, so I should save some money to think about it for my second brother. Unexpectedly, my second brother didn’t need him anymore. I don’t know where this shitty luck came from, but my second brother hugged Zhuluhou’s thigh.
Nowadays, we need money and power. I came to visit my nephew a few days ago. I took a lot of things and left behind a silver ingot before I left.
This is silver!
Ordinary people spend all their money on copper coins. If anyone exchanges a piece of silver, it must be for jewelry. But Ergou threw this piece of silver away, obviously not for jewelry. Sangou was hanging around at the yamen gate, so of course he heard
I have talked about Zhu Luhou's casting of Yuanbao. Seeing that the second brother spent a lot of money, I knew that the second brother was doing well in front of the Marquis, and I was happy for the second brother.
Ergou followed Li Mu and saw the world, and his horizons broadened. After hesitating again and again, he still wanted to win over his brother. While his younger brother and sister were drinking, he told his brother what he was doing now. 2
People are brothers, so they can be trusted.
The matter of throwing people into the Bahe River was what Ergou told him when they were chatting. Today he almost let it slip, which scared Sangou half to death.
Er Gou asked San Gou to quit his job as a jailer and follow him as a paparazzi to get information for the Marquis. He patted his chest as a guarantee that the money he would earn in a month would not be less than five guan. If he received a reward from the Marquis, he would earn ten
Guan, twenty Guan is also unknown.
This income is almost twice that of being a jailer. It would be a lie to say that he is not motivated. But there is one thing that makes Sangou embarrassed. The life of a jailer is inherited by the father after the death of the son. Now that he has a son, this
Sooner or later, the job of making a living will fall on his son. But if he and his second brother become paparazzi, firstly, they don’t know whether they can do well. If they don’t do well, even though the second brother has given them a guarantee, they will not be able to do well.
, I can’t put my second brother in trouble. I have to find my own way out, but the city of Chang’an is so big and I don’t have any skills, so where can I find a stable job like a jailer?
Furthermore, this so-called ‘paparazzi’ is just a whim of the Marquis. If one day the Marquis no longer needs them, what will these people do?
Because of these two worries, Sangou has not agreed. But he has been thinking about it. After all, it is twice the income, and the reward is not included. Looking at the life of the second brother now, how can he not be envious?
Woolen cloth.
When I got home, my wife and children were already asleep. Sangou did not disturb them and took a nap in the barn next door. At dawn the next day, Sangou got up, took a sip of the porridge cooked by his wife, and said hello.
Then he went out.
He wanted to go find Ergou, but after a night of hesitation, he decided to give it a try. He thought so, the second brother was his biological brother, and if he was born into a mother's womb, he could not harm himself.
Ergou used to live in Xishi, but after following Li Mu, he moved to Jingdongji. Sangou also came here once, and he was familiar with the roads, so he quickly found a place. But Ergou was not there, and there was a child at the door.
The third dog asked and learned that Zhulu Hou was here. The second dog was called over and said he had something to give.
Sangou's heart moved, and he thought to himself. He had always heard about Zhuluhou, and heard his second brother talk about it more than once. But he had never seen what Zhuluhou was like. Since he had decided to join Zhuluhou, he should take advantage of the opportunity.
Taking this opportunity to take a look, I felt confident.
Thinking like this, Sangou followed the direction pointed by the child and came to Fengqiuhuang. Looking at the carved beams and painted pillars at the front door and the plaque given by the emperor, Sangou didn't dare to enter. He walked around to the back door and saw several people.
There was a rogue at the door, one of whom Sangou recognized. He was Ergou's follower. The last time Ergou went to his house, this guy helped carry things.
This boy was also smart. He saw Sangou from a distance and hurriedly said hello: "Third Master, are you so idle today? Are you looking for Second Master?"
Sangou quickly waved his hand and said: "We are all brothers, how can we bear the word 'Master'? Don't call me that, just call me 'Sangou'. Where is my second brother?"
"The second master is being scolded in the yard." The rogue grinned and lowered his voice and said: "Early in the morning, the marquis sent someone to deliver a message and asked for two people. But you said that Chang'an City is so big, how can we find two people?
Is it so easy to find people? The second master and his brothers have been busy all morning, and they have no clue. No, the Marquis is here, and the second master can't deliver the work, which makes the Marquis angry. "
"Ouch" Sangou became worried and said, "Will the Marquis punish the second brother? The second brother is weak, so he can't help but beat him."
"That's not the case." The ruffian said with a smile: "Although the Marquis has a bad temper, he scolds and scolds, and rarely hits people. If anyone can get kicked by the Marquis, it will be a blessing.
Can’t grab it.”
Sangou couldn't understand and asked: "Why is this?"
"Hey! Our Lord Hou will hit someone when he is angry, and then he will be soft-hearted when he is calmed down. He will always make up for it. When he is young, he is still a silver ingot. If you complete what the Lord Hou told you, then you are not a silver dollar.
It’s about the Yuan Bao. The second master once got kicked by the Marquis, and then he got the job done again and got thirty guan in one go! Isn’t it scary?”
"Oh my God!" Sangou was already confused. He couldn't make this kind of money in a year even if he had thirty guan!
At this time, Li Mu's scolding came from the yard: "...If you can't find anyone, what's the point of raising you bastards? Get the hell out of here, don't show up in front of me if you can't find anyone!"
"
Then Ergou's voice came over: "Master Hou, you said you were looking for Crown Prince Gaochang, but you don't know what he looks like, what characteristics he has, or where he has appeared. How are we going to find him, Master Hou..."
"
"If it's easy to find, I'll look for it myself. Do you need me? I've told you, having a mustache isn't a characteristic? Is this all the paparazzi can do? I think you deserve a beating.
If you dare to quarrel with me, I will kick you..."
When the gangsters at the door saw their leader being beaten, they all laughed. The gangster talking to Sangou laughed and said, "Look, the second master is going to get rich again."
When Sangou heard these words, he suddenly thought of the two people in the prison. Didn't one of them have a mustache? He also shouted that he was the prince of Gaochang every day. It couldn't be such a coincidence!
The two dogs howling came from the yard. The third dog was worried and couldn't care so much. He bravely broke into the yard and shouted: "Master Marquis, don't hit me. I, I have something to say!"
Just as Li Mugang kicked his feet, he suddenly saw a person coming in from the door. He stopped, frowned and looked over, saying: "Where can a good man come from who dares to meddle in my own business?"
Ergou also turned around and saw that it was his brother. He was so frightened that he knelt down and crawled for two steps. He put his head on the ground and said, "Master Hou, this is my third brother. He is not sensible. Your Excellency, there are so many people.
Don't blame him."
After saying that, he turned back to Sangou and yelled: "What are you doing here? Why don't you get out!"
Sangou was a little shocked when he saw Li Mu's appearance. This man was too young and had a weird shape. Why was his hair so short? There was a black and white thing on his head. It looked like a living creature and he was wearing a uniform.
A white tiger skin. Although Sangou didn't know much about fur, he knew it was priceless when he saw this white tiger skin.
After hearing Ergou's words, Sangou quickly knelt down and said: "Master Hou, the younger one is the jailer of Wannian County. I heard Master Hou at the door just now saying that he was looking for the Crown Prince of Gaochang. Young Master, the younger one may know that they are there.
where."
"Oh?" Li Mu said suspiciously: "The paparazzi have been searching all morning and couldn't find it. Do you know where it is?"
"Yeah!" Sangou nodded fiercely and said, "Second brother and the others can't be found because they are in prison."
"In prison!" Li Muqi said: "Why is Prince Gaochang in prison? Could it be that he has committed a crime?"
"Well……"
Seeing that Third Gou was hesitant, Ergou scolded: "You are a worthless thing. If the Marquis asks you, just tell me what hesitating looks like! Tell me!"
Sangou gritted his teeth and said bravely: "They didn't commit any crime. This matter has something to do with Mr. Hou. On the morning of the opening of your store, two people were hanging around the back door and were discovered by the guards. They were afraid of teasing Mr. Hou.
So they were arrested. They should have been released in the past two days, but the one with the mustache kept shouting that he was the prince of Gaochang all day long, and they couldn't come up with money to accommodate the brothers, so everyone wanted to make him suffer.
, I didn’t expect that he was really..."
After saying that, Sangou kowtowed and shouted: "Please rescue me, Lord Marquis. My brothers have given him a lot of hardships in the past few days. If he is released from prison, he will definitely take revenge and the brothers will suffer!"
"That's what happened..." Li Mu almost laughed out loud. The prince of a country came all the way to Chang'an to be imprisoned. He is really an idiot among idiots! But it is also understandable that the guy who robbed a woman from me must be an idiot even if he is not an idiot.
Idiots, the difference is just being born stupid and being stupid the day after tomorrow!
Li Mu tried hard to hold back his laughter and said, "How did you torment him?"
"He thought the prison food was not delicious, so the children starved him."
"Hungry?" Li Mu asked again, "What is prison food?"
Sangou said truthfully: "Mixed bean steamed buns and clear soup."
Li Mu was furious: "You bastard!"
Sangou quickly kowtowed: "Master Hou, please calm down, you guys have realized your mistake. But the main reason for this deduction is the prison boss..."
Li Mu said angrily: "I'm not satisfied with having mixed bean steamed buns! I think back when I was living in Mayi, I didn't even have to eat mixed bean steamed buns. During the lean years, I only relied on wild vegetable soup to satisfy my hunger. He still had mixed bean steamed buns.
Not satisfied, hateful! Annoying!”
"..."
The third dog was confused and looked at the second dog for help. He thought to himself, is the Marquis's words ironic?
Ergou was also confused, and he couldn't figure out what Li Mu was thinking.
"Three dogs, right?"
"The little one is here!"
"Wait a minute, you take me to the prison to have a look. If your information is accurate, I will not hesitate to reward you. Do you have a way to make me see them and they can't see me?"
"Yes, yes!" Sangou nodded. He had been in Wannian County Prison for several years, and this matter was not a problem for him.
Li Mu took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it in front of Ergou: "Take it to drink medicine, prepare the car, and go to Wannian County Prison!"
Ergou picked up the silver ingot and went to arrange the car happily. Sangou looked at it with eyes wide open. What the second brother said was true, and what the rogue at the door said was true. The Marquis really rewarded the money.
Now, the silver ingot is given as promised, without any ambiguity at all!
Thinking of what the Marquis had just said, if the information was accurate, he would also have a reward. Sangou became excited. Isn't this pie in the sky? The city of Chang'an is so big, but these two people bumped into him.
, It’s time for the old Zhao family to become prosperous, and I, Zhao Sanxi, now have the luck to make some money!
