"That's all right, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"
After counting at three o'clock, Xie put the money into the cash box.
"Stutter, take the men and put all the money in the cellar. It will be offered as tribute the day after tomorrow."
Xie San gave an order, and Jie Ba brought a few people to carry the boxes in the house out of the main room, including the box against the wall containing dollars and gold.
Several people came to the yard, lifted a stone slab in the corner of the wall, and lowered the box down with a rope.
"Everyone has been busy all night. Let's have a sip of the rabbit and pheasant stew we made today to relieve our fatigue."
Xie San ordered people to start pouring wine.
"Third…Third…Third Master, the rabbit…rabbit…rabbit leg…the leg is yours."
Jie Ba picked up a wild rabbit's hind leg and placed it in the small bowl in front of Xie San.
"You should all learn from Brother Stutter. Even though he has trouble speaking, it doesn't stop him from flattering the Third Master."
This person's words made everyone laugh.
"Whatever...whatever...you say. It's not...not...shameful to flatter...the Third Master."
Jie Ba was not angry, because he knew that his brothers had no ill intentions.
This put Zhang Shuguang in a difficult position. He lay on the roof, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"Don't make fun of the stutterer. Why tease him for no reason? Let's drink, brothers."
Xie San couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.
"Third Master, it's time to pay tribute the day after tomorrow. We brothers should be so careful and work so hard to earn this little money. We should give it all to them as a filial gift."
"Those black-hearted people have an ever-increasing appetite. It seems like we earn a lot every day, but after paying our tribute, there's nothing left."
"If we keep going like this, why don't we switch to the black market? At least it's much safer."
“It’s too late. There’s no turning back on this path. They’ve gotten used to it.
Believe it or not, if we don’t pay them tribute this month, they’ll dare to arrest us next month.”
"There's nothing we can do. The people won't fight the officials."
People tend to talk a lot after drinking. Things that they usually don’t dare to say, they can’t help but say after drinking a little.
"Shut up, don't talk about this topic again, be careful of what you say.
The night after tomorrow, Jie Ba took some money and gold and silver jewelry and went to the old place to meet Captain Yue of the joint defense team.
Erlaizi, take the dollars and money and go to the police station to find Director Liang. Remember to go through the back door.
Brothers, I know you have complaints, but we are now in a difficult situation.
Initially, for convenience, I contacted these two bastards, but who knew their appetites would grow bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, we have earned enough. After two more years, my brothers will divide the money and we will quit completely.
If they dare to arrest us, we will throw them all out."
A ruthless look flashed across Xie San's eyes.
"Yes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If we can't defeat them, we will fight to the death."
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor."
"If you don't let us live, then no one else can live."
Xie San's words gave them hope.
Once we have earned enough money, we will completely retire and live a peaceful life for a few years.
Zhang Shuguang, who was lying on the roof, unexpectedly gained something unexpected: he learned about their protective umbrella.
Unexpectedly, the ones who protected them were not tigers, but just two small officials as small as mung beans.
But if you think about it, it makes sense.
It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now. As long as the joint defense team and the police station do not investigate them, and even provide them with protection, the people above will not know at all.
Even if the surrounding neighbors find something unusual in Yard 15, what can the people do as long as the police station says there is no problem?
Tonight there were two large pots of wild rabbit and pheasant stewed with potatoes. Xie San and his friends took advantage of the delicious food and got drunk.
By the time they all left and Xie San fell asleep, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
There were loud snoring sounds in several rooms, and they were still dreaming of retiring in two years.
Zhang Shuguang jumped down from the roof, lifted the stone slab on the cellar, and went down into the cellar.
The cellar is not only their gold hiding place, but also their arsenal.
In addition to six boxes of different sizes, there are also more than a dozen Hanyang-made poles.
Zhang Shuguang opened the six boxes. One of the boxes contained scattered banknotes, which Zhang Shuguang did not intend to touch.
Firstly, he was not short of money, and secondly, he wanted Xie San and the others to eat peanuts, so he needed the stolen money as evidence.
Among the other five boxes, two were filled with silver dollars, one was filled with gold and silver jewelry, and the remaining two were filled with old items.
Zhang Shuguang put his hand on the box, and the system voice sounded in time.
[The system has detected 8625 silver dollars, worth gold coins. Do you want to sell them?]
[The system detected 6742 silver dollars, worth gold coins. Do you want to sell them?]
[The system detected 20 kilograms of gold jewelry and 28 small yellow croakers, worth gold coins. Do you want to sell them?]
[The system has detected 128 old items, worth gold coins. Do you want to sell them?]
There are still too few cultural relics in the county that are truly worth collecting. Has the system not even bothered to mention a Qing Dynasty imitation or a Republican era imitation? Let's just go straight to an old item.
"sell."
【Get gold coins.】
[Current balance: Gold coins.]
It’s worth the trip!
Zhang Shuguang was very satisfied with tonight's gains.
A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass.
If you want to accumulate gold coins quickly, you still have to do more business with no capital.
The system gold coins have accumulated to 40 million. According to the current rules, when the gold coins exceed 100 million, the system will definitely be upgraded again.
