Jiang Dalang did not leave, but reminded: "Making dyes requires water, and there are some powerful poisons in the world. They are not fatal to people if they drink them, but they can cause rashes if they come into contact with the skin. So the river and the well are two important places. Please also ask the Xue family to send someone to guard it, otherwise the bad guys can ruin the reputation of the dye with just a packet of poison. Let’s do this business. It won't work."
Xue Feng was shocked and said quickly: "Thank you for reminding me, little brother. I will send two people to guard it."
They thought that no one would dare to harm the whole village. People's lives were concerned, so I didn't go to guard the water source, but I forgot that the cloth had to be worn on the body. If someone got a rash after wearing it, it would be a big trouble.
Xue Feng immediately sent people to guard the two water sources. When he went to find Jiang Dalang, there was no one there. He said: "That's strange, where did the little brother go?"< br>
The subordinates were also stunned: "They must have gone back."
Xue Feng frowned when he heard this, and asked them again: "Did you hear the footsteps when he came?"
The men shook their heads: "I didn't hear it. It was only after you asked, Brother Feng, that we learned about the darkness." There is someone inside.”
After hearing this, Xue Feng felt more and more: "These families are not simple. The girls can make new dyes, and the boys are so skilled that they can come and go silently in front of us practitioners."
No, he has to tell his employer about this tomorrow morning.
Xue Feng and the others kept watch for half the night, but they didn't catch any more thieves. When it got dark, Xue Feng ran to find Xue Dong's house.
Dong Xue was not awake yet, so he closed his eyes and listened to Xue Feng's report... He was not interested at all in catching villagers from neighboring villages, but when he heard that Jiang Dalang could come and go silently in front of Xue Feng, he was so surprised that he opened his eyes. , pointed at Xue Feng and said: "You mean, that little brother is better than you? Impossible."
Xue Feng and the others were taught by Old Man Wei.
The old man Wei was once a dead soldier. After his master's family was executed, the old man Wei became a man without an owner. Later, he was in danger and was saved by his father. He became the secret instructor of the Xue family. .
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xue Feng still nodded and said: "Well, Brother Jiang is indeed better than his subordinates... The subordinates were able to find him because he deliberately made noise."
He said very puzzledly: "I don't know where he learned the footwork. He walked very lightly, lighter than the sound of insects in the mountains and forests. His subordinates failed to discover him in time."
Tsk, Xue Dongjia looked at Xue Feng with disgust: "Then you are so useless. After studying with Old Man Wei for so many years, you are not even as good as a young man."
Xue Feng felt guilty: "Yes. The subordinate is not good at academics and disappoints his employer "
Xue Dongjia waved his hands: "I don't blame you."
Old man Wei said that people who can withstand the training of dead soldiers cannot be used by ordinary people. Once they are used, they may be afraid. There is a risk of being killed by subordinates for money.
So, Old Man Wei did not train Xue Feng and the others to be dead soldiers, he just trained them to be guards who were several times more powerful than bodyguards and soldiers.
"Thank you, my boss, for being kind." Xue Feng asked again: "My boss, what should we do with the villagers in Kaihe Village?" Villagers. After the shock is over, they will be redeemed to show their kindness to the neighbors."
Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao's family still want to live in a ghost village, so as not to have a big grudge against the nearby villages.
Xue Dongjia added: "The nearby villagers should be here soon. Move out the wooden horses and block the entrance of the village. Don't let them disturb the Qin family."
The Qin family girl is a She hates trouble, so he has to keep it out of her way.
"Yes." Xue Feng went to do it immediately. Soon, the villagers of Kaihe Village were pulled away by carriages.
By the time the head of Kaihe Village arrived, the carriage had already left Taifeng Town.
He village chief was so angry that he jumped to his feet. After learning that he was caught by the Xue family, he hurriedly went to see Xue Dongjia.
Xue Dong’s family didn’t see him and asked Manager Xue to deal with it.
Manager Xue said straight to the point: "He Village Chief, our Xue family already knows your purpose of coming, but the Wei Dynasty respects etiquette and anyone who commits a crime must be seen by an official, so please come back."
The village head He said anxiously: "Manager Xue, He Baiguan and the others broke into the village in the middle of the night with evil intentions. They were arrested and beaten." , They all deserve their punishment, but no one has committed any crime in Kaihe Village for a hundred years. It is a well-known and kind village from all over the country. The old man cannot let the good reputation of the village be ruined! "
If the reputation of this village is ruined, From now on, people in the village will be looked down upon when they go out to walk, talk about marriage, or do business.
"So I beg Manager Xue to send someone to accompany us to the county government office to bring them back. We can't let them ruin the reputation of the whole village."
And promised: "Wait for them After they come out, the old man will definitely keep an eye on them and not let them come to the ghost village again!”
After saying that, he handed Guanshi Xue some money.
Guan Xue didn't want to do anything. After scaring the village chief He enough, he said: "Mr. He, let me tell you everything... The Xue family wants to do business with the Qin family, so they will not let the nearby villagers come to the ghost village to do business. hands and feet , He Baiguan and the others were caught by our boss to scare the monkeys, so they won’t be able to come back within half a month. The Xue family will naturally rescue them."
< br>He said again: "Their cases will not be brought to court, and your village's reputation will not be affected in any way. Please don't worry, Chief He."
Guanshi Xue looked at Chief He and said, "So Chief He, don't worry. If you don’t waste time on their affairs anymore, you might as well dig up more weeds and sell them to the Qin family.”
He was relieved after knowing that He Baiguan and the others would not be brought to court.
But...
"The Qin family only paid ten cents per catty, but the Yan family, Jia family, Tang family, and Qu family paid fifteen cents per catty." Village Chief He felt that selling to the Qin family What a shame, he smiled and said: "Manager Xue, your Xue family will take over Grass? How about we sell the grass from Kaihe Village to you for fifteen cents a pound?"
Guan Xue said: "The rules of our Xue family business are that you need to sell half of the grass roots to Qin. Home, otherwise our Xue family won’t accept it.”< br>
“Isn’t this just a disguised price reduction?” Village Chief He was a little unhappy and said with a smile: “The grass roots haven’t been dried yet, let’s talk about it after we dry the grass roots.”
He didn’t I'm happy, but Village Chief Zhou is very happy, especially He brought a group of villagers to the ghost village without entering the village. He only said to the Xue family: "Please tell the Qin family that we will sell half of the grass roots dug in Zhoujia Village to the Qin family to thank the Qin family for finding a way for the villagers to make money." ! ”
After hearing this, Dong Xue's family came out in person and said with a smile: "Old Village Chief Zhou is indeed the father of Team Leader Zhou. He has a really good vision. He never makes mistakes in big things."
He Village Chief listen , hurriedly ran out and said: "You, you are Dong Xue? What do you mean by what you just said? Can you explain it to the old man in detail?"
Old village chief Zhou said: "He Da, you are so stupid. It's stupid You have been stupid for decades. Even if the Xue Dong family explains it clearly to you, you still won’t understand... For the sake of our neighbors for generations, let me remind you that this kind of business is related to the livelihood of the entire county. Your Majesty is watching, don’t be greedy, and don’t take advantage of yourself.”
He Village Chief: “What do you mean? Is it your intention to sell weeds to the Qin family?”
