Republic of China

Chapter 56 Sitting in court and watching things
Doing less and getting more for nothing is Zhao Sanyuan’s highest ideal.

Pay the minimum price to get the highest reward, be able to lie down without leaning, sit without standing.

Otherwise, why would you rather be a watchman when you are so young and smooth?
It's free, and it's still half a staff. At most, it's enough to work for the commander-in-chief.

But I’m afraid of giving enough.

When Gao Shou told Da Chongjiu's treatment, Zhao Sanyuan was immediately moved.

"In addition to having absolutely free working hours, you will get a monthly salary of 800 yuan with the Shaoyang waistband, and all your food, clothing, housing and transportation will be reimbursed. As long as you have a voucher and receipt, you will be clearly reimbursed for visiting the brothels!"

And this good thing?

Zhao Sanyuan made a calculation in his mind. Although big rewards come with big risks, a good job that pays 800 yuan a month is really rare. How much is Lao Li's salary?
Not to mention the various reimbursements, they are so considerate to the extreme. I really don’t know where the funds for Da Chongjiu came from.

"That sounds good, but before I answer you, let me ask you a question. Since you arrived at the horse and carriage shop first, can you tell me how you helped Lao Kang deal with the aftermath?"

Chief Gao had a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course I killed the raccoon demon who was fighting with Brother Kang. Do I want to keep it for the New Year? There were no other living people in the carriage and horse shop, so I burned it clean. As for the hat, The mountain wood factory is even simpler. Those bastards have already killed all the people in the wood gang and destroyed their corpses. All they have to do is dig a hole and bury the human skin and internal organs and carrion."

Zhao Sanyuan grinned.

Yes, bald old man, his behavior is really temperamental.

To cut weeds, we must remove the roots, leaving no trace behind.

"Since Da Chongjiu has this kind of temperament, it's not like I won't—"

"Wait a minute!"

Li Dongzhi quickly pressed Zhao Sanyuan's mouth.

Is this guy from Guandong?

Do you believe everything after listening to Gao Shou fooling around here?

It is true that the power and ability of Da Chongjiu must be very powerful, but it must also be combined with the current situation of Yanhuang.

Zhang Yinguang in the south was from the Alliance, and his influence almost covered half of Yanhuang. He had never been able to deal with the old Zhang family in Guandong.

If the commander-in-chief doesn’t know what you and Brother Kang are capable of, that’s all. If he knew, he would definitely pay a certain amount of attention. When he finds out that you two have joined the yamen in the south, the commander-in-chief will be so angry that he will jump to his feet?
Of course, who is Dashuai Zhang?He may not really like two young people from wild backgrounds.

What's more important is that Li Dongzhi doesn't want to be on separate sides. If Fengjun and Nanbian really start fighting in the future, it will be uncomfortable for both of them.

"Ahem, this is a big matter, and we can't make a decision in just a few words. They are not only my subordinates, but also my dead brothers, Lao Li. I suggest you let Sanyuan recover from his injuries first, and then make a decision after he recovers. Too late, you just have time to think about it carefully, right?"

Li Dongzhi is definitely an expert when it comes to using official accents. His words imply careful consideration, but the hidden meaning is very subtle. It seems to say that you are forcing a seriously injured young man to take advantage of others' danger.

Even though he doesn't have much hair on his head, he is still a fine person. How can you not see Li Dongzhi's twists and turns?

However, Gao Shou was indeed anxious.

In addition to the two points mentioned before, the more important consideration is that Dachongjiu has a vacuum of power in the Kanto region. Its power only radiates to North China. In many cases, after receiving the "information report", it takes several days to travel out of the country. , the day lily is so cold.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to attract local folk aliens who were born and raised in Guandong. However, the folk customs of Guandong are enthusiastic and tough. Anyone who has some ability does not like to be restrained, especially those who are well-known and have a strong resistance to eating public meals.

Taken together, a young and talented local born and bred young talent is an excellent candidate.

"We've arrived at Taoguan Village~ Lao Li, how do you go to my father-in-law's house?"

He was stunned and opened the partition. When he saw that Zhao Sanyuan was awake, he suddenly stopped in excitement, turning around and bursting into tears.

However, it was precisely because of Da Lengyan's interruption that Gao Shou could not continue to persuade him, so he could only give up for the time being.

Speaking of Taoguantun, it is actually one of the divisions of Anshan, and it is also the most prosperous place nearby except Haicheng. It is called a tun, but it is actually more like a prosperous town.

People are coming and going, traffic is busy, shops are lined up one after another, and there are even several brothels and gambling houses, which shows how rich this place is.

The truck stopped in front of a teahouse. The place was not big and the business was quite good. After all, not many people in Guandong really liked drinking tea.

It used to be the property of Liu Mangfan's father-in-law. Since he went to Yingkou in recent years to sell aquatic products, the tea shop was handed over to Liu Mangfan. However, Liu Mangfan was also a hands-off shopkeeper and did not come back to take care of it for a long time.

Now due to the war and chaos, the area around Fengtian City is no longer peaceful, so Liu Mangfan decided to return to Anshan, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to his wife and children and quickly returned to her parents' home to meet up.As for Zhao Sanyuan, he also had a place to recuperate. The courtyard behind the tea house had two entrances and two exits, and the place was large enough.

"Both brothers, I have official duties and must return to Fengtian City immediately. When the situation stabilizes, I will personally come to pick you two up. This is all I have with me. You can treat it as advance payment. You're welcome."

After handing a banknote to Kang Muang, Li Dongzhi rushed north to Fengtian City without saying anything.

Gao Shou originally wanted to take advantage of the good opportunity to persuade him to join the gang, but for some unknown reason, he left in a hurry. When he left, his face looked like he had eaten two pounds of fly cakes.

Come fast, go fast.

Liu Mangfan went to the front to check the accounts, while Lao Kang went to grab medicine. Zhao Sanyuan was left lying on the kang in the backyard room.

"Uncle Yan, come out and chat for a while."

Mang Qingyan gradually appeared and stood beside the kang head without saying a word.

Zhao Sanyuan muttered to himself: "I remember, Uncle Yan, you said before that my immortal hall would not accept my request unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the situation in Maoshan Wood Factory is dangerous, it is not an emergency. What’s more important is that I killed a living being after binding my orifice, which is different from when I dealt with the substitute ghost before. Isn’t it difficult for you to explain to the great leader?”

"Think about it."

The simple answer is enough to explain the problem.

Just kill the raccoon demon and those brats, the bald man who took out the corpse oil was a real living person.

As the protector of the Immortal Family, not only did he fail to stabilize his disciples, but he also went crazy with everyone behind him. It was strange that the leader of the sect was not impatient.

"Hey, by the way, Uncle Yan, you were the one who gave me the warning and sent the message. Why did you come when I invited you?"

"Damn them."

"I definitely deserve to die. I mean, why didn't you stop me in the first place?"

"Because I couldn't hold it back either."

Zhao Sanyuan rolled his eyes helplessly.

Sure enough, he is really a master of the Python family, but he is very irritable.

Pointing at it, it seems quite difficult to maintain sanity at the pass.

"Uncle Yan, have you thought about who will replace you?"

"You'll know then."

After saying that, the Python Qingyan turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated, presumably to receive his punishment.

It happened that Kang Muang pushed open the door and walked in with a medicine bowl in hand, acting like an old mother.

"Lao Kang, I thought about it. It's not good for us to eat and drink for free here. It would be unreasonable to pay Lao Liu for food, so I have an idea."

Kang Muang nodded, "You are smarter than me, so I will listen to you."

Both of them are now unemployed, and they have no idea how widespread the mutiny will be and how long it will last.

Therefore, we must find a way to support ourselves. Even if the money left by Old Liu is enough to live for a year and a half, it is not a long-term solution after all.

He was injured and couldn't work on duty, and Lao Kang had to take care of the injured, so he had to solve the problem according to local conditions.

"We have to live a quiet life. We are fighting and killing all day long. If we don't get killed, we will be exhausted. So in this tea house, let's sit and watch things and live a peaceful life."

Of course Kang Muang agreed. Strictly speaking, the two of them were professional counterparts when cooperating in this field.

But there was one sentence that rarely stuck in my heart.

Brother Sanyuan.

With our fates, can we be reconciled?
