Li Si would occasionally ask Wang Zheng: "Master, are we rich now?"

Wang Zheng nodded patiently, "Yes, we are rich now, at least we won't have to worry about food and drink in the future. Li Si, do you and Zhang San have a favorite girl? When do you plan to marry a wife? Then I will give you a big gift, okay?"

"Hey hey hey"

Li Si's big black face had turned purple-red. He didn't say anything, but just smiled foolishly to himself.

Wang Zheng was amused, "You have found a sweetheart, right? Tell me, who is the girl? I'll propose marriage to her for you, or someone else will get there first."

After hearing Wang Zheng's words, Li Si not only did not become happy, but fell silent. "It's too early to say these things now. The real thing is to help the master's family make more money."

Seeing Li Si's unnatural expression, Wang Zheng thought about it for a moment and understood.

"who."

Zhang San glared at him and said, "What do you know? Just follow the master's instructions."

It mainly serves as a warning. Of course, if you are unlucky, you may get stabbed in the foot in the event of sudden weightlessness.

In the dead of night in early spring, not even the sound of insects or birds can be heard, but every movement outside can be heard clearly.

After setting the trap, Wang Zheng asked Zhang San to go to the market to buy a dog. It didn't need to be a very good dog, just one that could make a noise at night to remind himself.

The trap set by Wang Zheng was also very simple. He just had to dig a pit more than a foot deep and put some bamboo thorns in it. It didn't need to be too big, as long as it could trap one foot.

Li Si, who followed him, said in surprise: "More important? Isn't it more important to make more money by making yellow paper now?"

Li Si stayed at home to guard the place, while he rode on a horse, took some copper coins and bacon, and bought some practical things like salt and iron at the market as gifts, preparing to visit Luo Wu.

Zhang San's voice sounded a little anxious. "Idiot, how do you know if there is anyone to pick them up? What kind of equipment do you have? You rush out so rashly. Do you want to deliver food to them?"

If Zhang San and Li Si want to make a name for themselves in life, they can either escape into the mountains and forests, come out after a few years to change their identities and start over, or they have to wait for Wang Zheng to become rich, and then their status will naturally improve.

Zhang San and Li Si are obviously the latter, and even if the Ba people escape into the mountains and forests, they rarely join the court's slave class, because once they join the slave class, they are equivalent to animals, and even if the master kills them for no reason, it is not considered a big crime.

The master and his two servants only needed to set up some traps at several intersections and places where the reeds were sparse.

Even if the injury is not serious, it will always cause inconvenience in movement. Think about the inconvenience caused to your life by minor punctures on your hands and feet, and you will know that people actually do not have that strong endurance.

Wang Zheng stopped Li Si's impulse and listened carefully to every movement outside.

"Don't go out, wait and talk, don't make any noise."

Well, the crime is at most as serious as killing a cow.

"Don't worry, follow me. One day, I will let you hold your head high and be a man. When the time comes, if you like a girl from a certain family, she will be proud to marry you."

Li Si's shout was like thunder. He turned over, grabbed the wooden fork and wanted to go out to check.

Li Si's rough voice came from the darkness: "Master, it seems there is only one person. Shouldn't we go out and catch him?"

I will go to Luo Wu tomorrow to have a look and spend some money to find some people to help us hold out for a while. When we have money, we can think about it and see how to arrange it."

Wang Zheng waved his hand at Zhang San and said with a smile: "It's okay. If you don't understand, just ask. Just make it clear. If you don't understand and don't ask, it will cause more trouble if you cause misunderstandings.

Everything related to interests in this world is likely to attract the prying eyes of others. If we go to the county town to sell yellow paper today, it may also cause some trouble.

Wang Zheng nodded secretly, "Zhang San is right, the most important thing is to protect ourselves first, things have become serious, let's just get through tonight.

The dense reeds on Jiangxin Island greatly reduced the workload of making traps. After all, ordinary people cannot walk dozens of meters in such a dense reed marsh.

After returning to Jiangxin Island, Wang Zheng asked Li Si to take the copper coins back and put them away. He led the horses back to the bamboo shed and got some soybeans to reward them.

From the light and heavy footsteps, as well as the intermittent suppressed cries of pain, Wang Zheng could tell that there was only one person, and that he was getting farther and farther away.

Although slaves and servants did not have to pay taxes, they were of low status and would be looked down upon. Generally, people would change their status in two situations: either they had committed a crime or they could no longer survive.

Therefore, I want to dig some traps in various places on Jiangxin Island to guard against them and see how the situation turns out. If nothing happens, that would be the best. If things go beyond our expectations, we can think of another way."

Zhang San, who learned about the situation from Li Si, was also delighted. He ran out excitedly with a tow pole, bamboo strips and a hatchet, saying that he wanted to harvest more reeds to store, as the more he harvested, the more yield he would get from the land.

That night, the screams of pain coming from far outside the house and the crazy barking of dogs proved that Wang Zheng's arrangement was not groundless.

The next day, Wang Zheng wrote two letters, and Zhang San rode on horseback to mail the same letters to two different post stations in different counties.

The most common houses in the Ba people's villages are made of low bamboo fence walls and bamboo frames and thatched roofs.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Let's not cut the reeds today. I have more important things to arrange for you."

Hearing Wang Zheng's comfort, Li Si immediately perked up again and nodded vigorously, "Well, the master is a capable person, and I have confidence to follow the master."

Nothing happened that night. It seemed that the person who was snooping was not fully prepared and just wanted to find out.

Wang Zheng, who arrived on horseback, became the focus of attention in the village.

Not only were there children watching, but even many adults who were pounding the kudzu root with pestles in the stone mortar put down their work and focused their attention on Wang Zheng.

"Hey, the spotted horse that Han kid is riding seems to be the horse our village used to have?"

"It is indeed our horse. I heard that it was given away by the leader. We are thanking someone."

"So he is the one our chief is thanking?"
