Chapter 38: Repaying kindness all the way

Half a quarter of an hour later, two guards came back from there, leading the bandit head who had already picked up his arms.

"Sir, they said there was a business bank supporting them behind their backs. They all came from other places to make a living. As for what kind of business bank it was, he didn't know that the business bank would send different people to contact them.

At the beginning, they were given some money to give them enough food, and later they were asked to stop people on the river. After more people were waiting for them, they began to grab goods. Those goods would be transported away by ship, giving them money less than the value of the goods.

Those people said that when they have more people in the future, they don’t have to do such things. If they find good things for them to do, they can earn at least 200 million yuan a day.”

The guard said what he had just interrogated to Zhang Zhong.

I don’t know what the guards did just now. The bandits looked pale, but there was no sign of any injury on their body. Zhang Zhong couldn’t think of which business company was helping him behind his back. Since it has not been exposed, wait a little longer and solve the matter in front of him first.

"Did you ask if they live? Go directly to catch people. The river cannot be messed up, and you also expect more merchants to come and go. They will be held at the dock first, wait for others to catch them, and send them to the yamen in Huayuan County together."

Zhang Zhong gave instructions to the yamen runners in Sanshui County. The yamen runners in Sanshui County were no different from those in Huayuan County, and they were even better used.

The yamen runners in Sanshui County also think so. They think they are the yamen runners of the Zhang family. They are not only not angry when they have something to call the Zhang family, but are also very happy. The yamen runners patrolling the water are not only patrolling, but also helping to transport goods occasionally. They don’t have to give the money they get, and they just need to divide the yamen runners.

After arranging the arrest, Zhang Zhong found the person who was robbed of the goods at the dock. The ship was fine, only the goods were stolen.

This man also joined forces with others to build two fleets, set out from above, preparing to go to the capital to sell. After the goods were stolen, everyone went to the dock and told the people on the dock. The dock quickly passed the news to the county.

Zhang Zhong's arrival made them feel a little flattered. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate came here in person and respectfully told Zhang Zhong how they were robbed that day and how much they lost. They did not expect the county magistrate of Huayuan County to compensate, but they wanted the county magistrate to catch the people and find the things as much as they could.

Zhang Zhong knew that those things had been shipped away. If you want to follow this line, you would not get anything. No one knew where the ship was transporting the cargo, and many ships probably looked similar. The goods transported to the capital were all kinds of.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong said to these merchants: "The goods are gone, the approximate price is 420 guan? This money is issued by the government office of Huayuan County. You can walk here with confidence in the future. As long as the same thing happens, all the goods will be managed by Huayuan County. After all, something happened in Huayuan County."

"Sir, you are such a great man." A businessman knelt down there and shouted when he heard Zhang Zhong's words.

"No need to do this, continue to do business in the future." Zhang Zhong had his own plans. There were about 200 bandits, which were just enough to work. There was no need to pay for wages. As long as they didn't starve to death, they could eat whatever they were wrong, and they could eat enough wild vegetables.

It is easy for those yamen runners to catch some bandits without weapons, they just need to wait at the dock.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan received a large sum of money today, 80,000 guan, including silver, copper coins, and some silk. They first took out the ones belonging to their own families, and put the rest into the warehouse and sent additional staff to take care of them.

Those silks were picked out according to the population of Yushu Village. No matter how big or small, one person made clothes for ten-foot cloth. Three hundred and twenty-two people needed eighty and half a piece, and preparing eighty-one was enough.

The silk used for money is not all that accurate. Some even have worn and insect-eaten places. They picked and picked them, and finally found 81 good ones, and the rest were not good. When Huayuan County paid taxes to the top.

In order to maintain the monetary value of silk, the court could allow the heavily damaged silk to continue to have the same purchasing power, equivalent to 200 cents.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not going to keep them. They usually buy things at home and use them as long as they can. They are all large-scale transactions. They exchanged them for others and took up space in the warehouse. They also have to worry about being rotten or being eaten by insects.

The two of them cleaned up, called the people at home, and took a bus to Yushu Village.

After a short half a day, the team of two people arrived outside Yushu Village. Sure enough, there were a lot of elm trees growing. Because it rained two days ago, some coal was washed up on the road here, and the black and yellow colors mixed together, making people feel uncomfortable and very muddy.

"If a big fire occurs here, will it explode?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan got out of the car, looked at the mud and coal stuck on their feet, and thought that when it was hot, the wind blew the coal powder floating in the air, lit sparks and other things. With a bang, the whole village was gone.

"It's impossible. If so many coal yards exploded, they would have exploded into the sky one by one. The remaining section of the road is going forward and you will be there after a turn." Wang Juan wanted to take a good look, pulled Zhang Xiaobao and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Turning around the little play in front, I saw a lot of people working there from afar, and the little kids ran around, and they were a little closer. Finally, I saw clearly that the people in Yushu Village were building roads there, pushing a truckload of sand and stones from somewhere in the village.

When they got here, they piled up on the road. Several people carried shovels and spread them out, filling some sand in the gaps. Some people found stone crocks and pressed them repeatedly there.

The little kid is responsible for bringing water to adults, washing towels for sweat, and the slightly larger ones are followed by broom tied with bamboo leaves.

When the car on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan turned around, the people in the village finally discovered that for a few days, people would come to deliver meat to them every day. The meat was not easy to preserve, so they could only deliver it every day. The meat delivery truck today has not arrived yet, and they thought that the few cars that appeared were for delivering meat.

As soon as the old man Muramama saw the car, he greeted a few young men and went up. When he got closer, he saw that there were two little kids. He had never seen any of the people driving the car before, and he became confused.

"It's from the Zhang family. Look at the rice seedlings on the car, which are similar to those sent by the Zhang family. There is one more, and the drawing is different." A man saw the rice seedling logo belonging to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the car, and said to the people around him there.

The few people were relieved now. It would be better if they were from the Zhang family. The old man walked forward with a stick and asked, "Who is the one who gave the meat?"

"It's not a meat delivery. This time I put on a cloth to make clothes for the people in the village. I have to work, so I have to make two clothes." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say anything, and a person beside him said to the old man.

"Work? OK, I'm fine, I'll wait for you to call me. I can't eat your food in vain." When the old man heard that there was work to do, he said happily, and attacked the people behind him. The people stepped forward and began to help him get things down.

When the road was built in front, many large stone gaps had not been filled and the car could not pass. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also held hands and walked into the village. The others helped to move things together, and several people from the village ran over.

Old Man Muramasa watched the two little kids struggling to walk on such a road, and asked the Zhang family who had just spoken, "What are these two?"

"This is the young master of our Zhang family, this is the young lady of the Wang family. I will come here to play for a while this time." The people from the Zhang family introduced to the old man.

"Oh, you can't leave. Go and find a few people, bring the airs that are about to carry the county magistrate, and carry the two little ancestors away."

The old man was surprised. The two little kids who came had such status. How could they be neglected and asked someone to get something?

"No, no, we can leave ourselves." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand there.

"That won't be done. You have to carry it all the way. If you bump it and can't explain it, the people in the village will feel sorry for you." The old man did not give in at all. He had agreed at the beginning that as long as the county magistrate came, he would carry it all the way and not let his feet touch the ground. The child would have to do this.

The old man was blocking the front, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could not play the game of catching chickens with the old man, so they had to stand there. In a while, four young men who looked strong came, including Tian Gouzi, who were each large on their shoulders, one piece of wood as thick as their arms, two in front and two behind, and on the wood in the middle was a big chair with a shed.

"Put it here, go back alone and tell the people who cook in the village to take out the dried meat we made in the first two days to cook, and take out all the food we can eat, and kill the chicken from Big Cat's house."

The old man used a stick to dot the ground and called out to someone who was carrying a cloth to pass by.

The chair was placed half a foot above the ground. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went up and could sit side by side. The four of them stood up steadily at the same time and lifted Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan pretended to be a child. They couldn't say too many things that adults should say. They couldn't say a word and looked around. They were carrying them all the way to the village. When they arrived at the road construction site, the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with respect.

"Everyone continues to work, and they still eat together during dinner. You kid come over and call a few people, and wait and listen to the instructions."

The old man was there to ask a thirteen or four-year-old child to come over and wait for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

People from the Zhang family knew what the young master and the young lady came here for this time, and said to the old man: "Where is that coal place? The young master and the young lady want to see something new."
