Chapter 300 The Zhao Brothers

The jailer who was talking was probably drunk, his face flushed, and he murmured: "Looking for a month of dark and windy night, he put it in a sack, threw it into the night incense bucket and transported it out of the city. Before dawn, he threw it into the Ba River, without knowing it."

The prison guard next to him was shocked and said, "This is a murderer! You don't want to die!"

Hearing this, the jailer who had just spoken was stunned for a moment and woke up most of the time. He waved his hand in a hurry and said, "Look at what I said, I'm drunk and talk nonsense. How dare I do such a thing? Just have a good time. Come on, let's drink, drink..."

When everyone heard him say this, they felt relieved. Someone told me: "Sangou, don't talk nonsense. Human life is a major matter. If they really die, they will pursue it at that time. It's not you or you."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention." The man called "Sangou" picked up the wine pot to help pour the wine. Seeing that he was so attentive, everyone said nothing. Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, one of them helped to change the topic and said, "Have you heard that there are many people missing in Chang'an City recently."

"You guys are so gods and ghosts. There are more than one million people in Chang'an City, and you know how many people are missing?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" The man said in a casual manner: "My second aunt's cousin is a clerk in the West City. He told me. Recently, several famous rogues in the West City have disappeared for no reason and have not seen them for some days."

"Is this really a matter?" someone asked curiously: "Xicheng City is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, so why didn't Chang'an County send anyone to look for it?"

Sangou interrupted: "What nonsense is it? The thug is gone, and the government is still looking for it? I think you are drunk!"

"Yes!" The speaker smiled and said, "Roass, I don't know how much trouble we have caused us. One less is one. Anyway, it's the matter in Chang'an County, and it has nothing to do with us. Drinking alcohol—"

At midnight, Sangou got off duty and changed shifts with someone. He came out of the prison in alcohol. He walked a few steps and came to a wall to pee. When the prison guard saw him like this, he joked: "Sangou, have you drunk too much again? You jailer are so idle!"

"Go!" Sangou cursed, shook, lifted his pants up, and walked home swaying.

The reason why Sangou called Sangou was because he had an older brother named Ergou. There were three brothers in the Zhao family. The eldest brother died young, leaving only the two brothers. His father was originally a prison guard in Wannian County, and he died of illness two years ago. The yamen was concerned about the succession of his father and son, so he left a prison guard who worked as a prison guard. Although he had no face, he had a good job. If the rich and powerful person was thrown into the prison, these prison guards would be like making a fortune.

Originally, this errand was about to fall on Ergou, but Ergou gave it to Sangou. He went to the West Market to work as a dentist, but he could barely have enough food and clothing. Sangou saved some money with the jailer's errand, asked for a wife, and gave birth to a son.

I thought that after my work was over, it was time to save some money to consider my second brother. Unexpectedly, my second brother didn't need him anymore. I don't know where the luck came from, but my second brother hugged Zhuluhou's thigh. Now I want money and power. A few days ago, I came to visit my nephew, and I took a lot of things, and I threw down a silver ingot before leaving.

This is silver!

Ordinary people spend all copper coins. Anyone who exchanges for a piece of silver must be for jewelry. But Ergou threw down this piece of silver, obviously not for jewelry. Sangou was living in the yamen, and of course he had heard of Zhulu Hou's ingots. Seeing that his second brother was generous, he knew that his second brother was doing well in front of the marquis, and he was also happy for his second brother.

Ergou followed Li Mu to see the world and had a broader vision. After hesitating for a while, he still wanted to pull out his brother. While his brother and sister were drinking, he told his brother what he was doing now. The two were brothers and could trust him.

The thing about throwing people into the Ba River was that Ergou told him when the two of them were chatting. Today, he almost missed his mouth, scaring Sangou to death.

Ergou asked Sangou to quit the prisoner's errand and follow him as a paparazzi to find out the news for the marquis. He patted his chest as a guarantee and earned no less than five stakes a month. If he met the marquis' reward, ten stakes or twenty stakes would not be known.

This income is almost twice as much as a prisoner. If you can't tell the truth, that's a lie. But there is one thing that makes Sangou embarrassed. The prisoner's life is born, and his father dies and his son will succeed. Now he has a son. This life can sooner or later fall on his son. But if he goes to be a paparazzi with his second brother, he doesn't know if he can do it well. If he doesn't do it well, although his second brother gives a guarantee, he can't make it difficult for him when he doesn't do it well. He has to find a way out, but Chang'an City is so big and he doesn't have the skills, so where can he find a stable life like a prisoner?

Furthermore, this so-called "paparazzi" was a whim. If the marquis didn't need it one day, what should these people do?

With these two worries, Sangou didn't agree. But he kept thinking about this matter in his heart. After all, it was twice the income, so the reward was calculated. Look at the life of my second brother now, how could he not envy him?

When they got home, their wife and children were already asleep. Sangou did not disturb them, and took a nap in the warehouse next door. The next day at dawn, Sangou got up, drank the porridge made by his wife, said hello and went out.

He was going to find Ergou, but after a night of hesitation, he decided to take a try. That's what he thought, his second brother is his second brother, and his mother fell to the ground, so he couldn't harm himself.

Ergou originally lived in Xishi. Since following Li Mu, he moved to Jingdong Ji. Sangou has also been here once and is familiar with the passage and soon found the place. But Ergou is not there, and there is a child at the door. Sangou asked and learned that it was Zhulu Hou who came. Ergou was called over and said that he had something to do and gave instructions.

Sangou felt aroused in his heart and thought to himself. He could always hear about Zhulu Hou and also heard his second brother say more than once. But he had never seen what Zhulu Hou looked like before. Since he decided to join Zhulu Hou, he took this opportunity to take a look and felt at ease.

Thinking of this, Sangou came to Feng Qiuhuang in the direction the child pointed. Looking at the carved beams and painted buildings at the main entrance, there was also a plaque given by the emperor. Sangou did not dare to enter. He went around and reached the back door and saw a few thugs at the door. One of them, Sangou still recognized him as Ergou's follower. Last time Ergou went to his house, the kid helped him carry things.

The boy was also smart. When he saw Sangou from a distance, he hurriedly said hello: "San Master, are you so idle today? Come and find the Second Master?"

Sangou waved his hand quickly and said, "It's all brothers, how can you afford the word "Master". Don't call me that, just call it "Sangou". Where is my second brother?"

"The Second Master is being scolded in the yard." The rascal grinned, lowered his voice and said, "The Marquis sent someone to come to deliver the letter early in the morning and asked to find two people. But do you think Chang'an City is so big, so it's so easy to find someone? The Second Master and his brothers worked hard all morning, and they had no idea. Now, the Marquis is here, and the Second Master can't handle the work, which makes the Marquis angry-"

"Oh—" Sangou became worried and said, "Will the Marquis punish the second brother? The second brother is weak, so he can't help but beat him."

"That won't be." The thug laughed: "Although the Marquis has a bad temper, he scolds him, and rarely hits people. If anyone can get beaten by the Marquis, it's still a blessing, and he can't even get it."

Sangou couldn't understand and asked, "Why is this?"

"Hey! Our Marquis, we beat someone up in anger, calmed down and softened. We will always compensate for it. When we were too young, it was also a silver ingot. If you did what the Marquis taught us, it would not be a silver ingot. The Second Master once, he was kicked by the Marquis and then got the matter done. He got thirty cents at a time! Isn't it scary?"

"My God!" Sangou was already confused. He was thirty stakes, and he couldn't make this money a year!

At this time, Li Mu's scolding came from the yard: "...I can't find someone even if you find someone. What's the use of me raising you bastards? Get out of here, I can't find someone, don't show up in front of me!"

Then Ergou's voice came: "Mr. Marquis, you said you were looking for Prince Gaochang, but what he looked like, what characteristics he had, and where he appeared. I don't know at all. How can we find it, Marquis..."

"If it's easy to find, I'll use you if I go and find it myself? I told you that I have a mustache, which is not a characteristic? Is the paparazzi the only skill? I think you deserve a beating, and you dare to argue with me, and I'll kick you..."

When the thugs at the door saw their heads being beaten, they all laughed. The thugs were talking to Sangou and said, "Look, the second master is going to get rich again."

When Sangou heard these words, he suddenly thought of the two people in the prison. Isn’t one of them just wearing a mustache? He even yelled every day that he was the Prince of Gaochang, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence!

Ergou's wailing sound came from the yard. Sangou was anxious and didn't care about so much. He stubbornly broke into the yard and shouted, "Mr. Marquis, don't beat me, I have something to say!"

Li Mu kicked twice when he suddenly saw someone breaking in at the door. He stopped, frowned and looked over, and said, "Where did the hero come from? How dare you care about my husband's affairs?"

Ergou also turned around and saw that it was his brother. He was so scared that he was scattered. He knelt down and crawled two steps, and said with his head, "Marquis, this is my third brother. He is ignorant. You have a lot of pride. Don't blame him."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Sangou: "What are you doing? Why don't you get out!"

Sangou was a little shocked when he saw Li Mu's appearance. This man was too young and had a weird look. Why was his hair so short and there was something black and white on his head. He looked like a living creature and was wearing a white tiger skin. Although Sangou didn't know about fur, he knew it was priceless when he saw this white tiger skin.

Hearing Ergou's words, Sangou quickly knelt down and said, "Marty, the youngest is a prison guard from Wannian County. I just heard the Martyr at the door saying that he was looking for Prince Gaochang, the youngest, the youngest may know where they are."

"Oh?" Li Mu said suspiciously: "The paparazzi searched for the whole morning but couldn't find it. Do you know where?"

"Yeah!" Sangou nodded violently and said, "Second brother and the others can't find it. Yes, because they are in prison."

"In prison!" Li Muqi said: "How could Prince Gaochang be in prison? Could it be that he had committed a crime?"

"Well……"

When Ergou saw Sangou hesitating, he cursed: "The unhealthy thing, the Marquis asks you, just say, what is hesitant! Say!"

Sangou gritted his teeth and said, "They did not commit any crime. This matter is related to the Marquis. On the morning of your store opening, two people were wandering around the back door and were discovered by the servants. They were afraid that they would mess with the Marquis, so they arrested them. They should have been released in the past two days, but the bearded man yelled all day long that he was the Prince of Gaochang and could not afford to pay for his brothers. Everyone wanted to make him suffer a little, but he didn't expect that he was really..."

As he said that, Sangou kowtowed and shouted, "I'd like to ask the marquis to help him. The brothers have given him a lot of hardship these days. If he is out of prison, he will definitely take revenge and the brothers will suffer!"

"That's the case..." Li Mu almost laughed out loud. The prince of a country came to Chang'an and went to prison all the way. He was such a fool among fools! But it is understandable that the guy who snatched me a woman must be fools either. The difference is just that he was foolish and was fooled by me!

Li Mu tried hard to hold back his laughter and said, "How did you mess with him?"

"He thought the prison food was not delicious, so the young men hungry him."

"Hungry?" Li Mu asked again: "What is prison rice?"

Sangou said truthfully: "Mixed bean steamed buns and clear soup."

Li Mu was furious: "Bastard!"

Sangou kowtowed quickly: "Honor Marquis calmed down, the young people knew they were wrong. But the main thing to be deducted was the prison chief..."

Li Mu said angrily: "I am not satisfied with eating mixed bean steamed buns! I remember when I was living in Mayi, I had no food for eating mixed bean steamed buns. When I was not able to pick up green and yellow, I only rely on wild vegetable soup to satisfy my hunger. He was not satisfied with mixed bean steamed buns. Damn it! It's annoying!"

“…”

Sangou was stunned and looked at Ergou for help, thinking in his heart, is the Marquis' words slander?

Ergou was also confused, and he couldn't figure out Li Mu's thoughts.

"Sangou, right?"

"The little one is here!"

"Wait a minute, take me to the prison to see. If your news is accurate, I will give you no stingy rewards. Do you have a way to let me see them, but they can't see this marquis?"

"Some, some!" Sangou nodded like a pound of garlic. He had been in Wannian County prison for several years, and this thing could not help him.

Li Mu took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it in front of Ergou: "Take it to drink medicine, prepare the car, and go to Wannian County Prison!"

Ergou picked up the silver ingots and went to arrange the car happily. Sangou looked at him, his eyes straightened. The second brother said it was true, and the rascal at the door was true. The Marquis really rewarded money. He gave it to the silver ingots as soon as he said it, and it was not vague at all!
