Chapter 166
Xue Shun didn't have any good solution either.
The only power he could rely on was Luo Wendi. If Luo Wendi refused to take care of him, he would have no choice but to rely on those people in the hall who had their own ulterior motives.
Or...
Xue Shun suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we just hire someone? Brother Ma knows a lot of people."
Xue Shun was talking about the vendors on Tongguli Street.
“That’s a good idea, Brother Ma is still very reliable.
Birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps he can actually find some good helpers. Furthermore, those people have old grudges against the wealthy families in town and are uncompromising. They won't be easily bribed, so they could be of use."
It's just that these people are completely newbies...
Shen Jiao didn't say this.
Anyway, perfection is impossible, so just hand these people over to Ma Qianli. If they work, it's fine. If not, then don't use them. It doesn't cost her money anyway.
Shen Jiao went to talk to Ma Qianli about it, and he was quite happy. He disappeared without even discussing the money.
He soon returned with a group of people, about a dozen of them, all neatly dressed. Most of them were strong laborers in their thirties or forties, and there were also four or five young men and women.
Ma Qianli scratched his head awkwardly and said, "We all wanted to help, but we were afraid that you would think we were in the way, so we just followed you secretly... well... please don't mind, young lady."
He bowed in a proper manner.
The others followed suit, saying, "Please don't be offended, young lady."
Shen Jiao naturally wouldn't be surprised.
"Brother Ma, what are you talking about? We all mean well, and I'm so happy. If I really want to blame someone, it's your fault for being so unconventional. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I knew everyone was here, so why would I need to use other people..."
Shen Jiao looked around and whispered to him,
"To be honest, the guys who went with me to arrest someone today are all untrustworthy. I used some tricks to subdue them, but who knows if they have ulterior motives. I'll have to trouble everyone to help keep an eye on them. Don't let them get a chance to help those guys pass on the message. If we're not careful, they could ruin your plans."
"Don't worry, young lady. We know what's going on. The young master is standing up for us. We definitely can't hold him back..."
The words of loyalty sounded rather boring, but they took Shen Jiao out and dragged out two familiar spies and two spies they had never seen before from a secluded place. This was very interesting.
Shen Jiao also pushed the four people back and asked people to guard them separately. However, there were not many rooms, so they were just tied up in a few places. If there was no place else, they could be hung on trees or in wells, or on flagpoles or roofs. Just block their mouths tightly and leave them breathing.
After she finished speaking, she went to talk to the guards:
"Why are you all so sullen? Don't think that the Master really wants to employ you. I took pity on you and begged you for this opportunity. Otherwise, why would the Master care about you, who are accomplices to the evil?
Now the young master would rather use people from outside than you. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If I really want to drive you away, it will be time to settle accounts when we meet again tomorrow. I'll leave it here, and the antidote is also here. If anyone of you wants to leave, just go.
Take the antidote and go back, continue to harm the people, oppress the good, and make money with dishonest means. As long as you lose your dignity and act like a bad person, you will suffer retribution sooner or later!"
What Shen Jiao said was righteous.
It seems like a real thing.
These people listened seriously and none of them was willing to leave.
Shen Jiao could only sigh: "It's never too late to do good and turn from darkness to light. After all, you are also one of us. To be honest, I am still on your side in my heart. After all, you are serious disciples. Those outside are just rough men and women who don't know anything. At times like this, you are still useful and can listen to what I say..."
Shen Jiao watched as the eight men's chests grew higher and higher, almost turning into roosters. Then he patted one of them on the shoulder and left with satisfaction.
Xue Shun hadn't left yet, waiting for her reply.
He originally thought she took a little too long, but after he heard what Shen Jiao had done, he suddenly didn't think she was slow anymore.
"You're so busy trying to be picky, aren't you?"
Xue Shun asked sincerely.
Shen Jiao was quite proud: "Not bad, who would feel tired when doing something they like."
Shen Jiao sat down happily.
Xue Shun massaged her shoulders and said, "Sister, you've been really hard-working. Excuse me, what are you drawing?"
"What else can I do? I'm just trying to stir up discord between them."
If you treat each other like brothers and sisters, you will inevitably lose your vigilance. It is better to be on guard against each other, and things will probably be done better.
As for what the purpose of hanging the spies high and low is, that goes without saying.
Xue Shun is not that stupid, he just can't bear to do it.
When I went out, I also took a look at the tallest brother.
"How long will this hang?"
Xue Shun asked.
Shen Jiao: "What do you think, sir?"
Xue Shun, who couldn't bear to be ruthless, was also indecisive. He could bargain, but when it came to making a decision, he would just say, "Let's talk about it later."
Who has time to take care of these little gadgets?
Shen Jiao let them go last time, which was very good. If they dare to come again, they are seeking death.
If they were a crueler person, they would have been slaughtered by now.
"I'm still too kind."
Shen Jiao felt a little sorry for herself. She let them go with good intentions, but in return they became even worse. It was really unreasonable!
"What kind of world is this? Kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden, right?"
Shen Jiao muttered to himself and patted the horse under his crotch.
It was also fate, it was that stubborn guy again who could only move forward and not backward.
Shen Jiao named it Idiot.
It neighed.
Shen Jiao was surprised and asked, "Why? You like it, right? Then from today on, you will be called idiot, even though it doesn't sound nice..."
She thought hard and said, "I'll give you another name. It'll be Ah Dan! Shen Ah Dan... well, that doesn't sound good. Let's call it Ma Ah Dan. I'll give you to those two later. What do you think?"
Ma Adan wagged his tail and said nothing.
"You're a bit quiet, a bit mute..."
Shen Jiao curled her lips and didn't want it anymore.
How boring it is to ride a horse that both of you dislike each other to catch a doctor.
It's still unknown whether the doctor is at home or not.
The doctor who treated Li Yan and Quanfu that day was a doctor employed by Taihe Medical Clinic.
We also need to check whether it was replaced with something else later.
Doing this kind of thing is not enough to suffer.
She actually thought it would be fun before. She must have read too many storybooks to realize how hard it is.
And this broken map...
Can you draw a new one? Shen Jiao asked eight people along the way and even took the wrong route three times.
Every time she entered a narrow alley where she couldn't turn around, she had to go around in a big circle to get out, unless she was prepared to carry Ma Adan and retreat...
