Chapter 20 Little Firewood(1/2)
The reason why Xiao Chai He is called "Xiao Chai He" has to be mentioned more than thirty years ago.
He was from Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture. It was very cold that winter. He stole a bundle of firewood and was caught in the Yamen. Such a small case could have been laughed off. But for some reason, the county magistrate sentenced him to three
month's punishment.
So he was imprisoned at a very young age, and in the prison everyone began to call him Xiao Chaihe.
In fact, if he had not been in prison, he would probably not have survived that cold and hungry winter.
It was precisely because of the connections established in the prison that he entered the industry. More than thirty years later, Xiao Chaihe became Mr. Chai, who now lives in both black and white circles in the capital.
At this time, three little guys were escorted by the counter and when they found Xiao Chaihe, he was fighting crickets.
The counterman then squeezed over and leaned into his ear and said: "Master Chai, I caught three little guys. They all look the best and can be exchanged for a lot of money. But one of them said he wants to find you. How about you?"
,Have a look?"
The counter had made plans, and as long as Mr. Chai nodded, he sold the three of them. These three were all good-looking, fair and tender, and in their prime years. If they were packaged together and sold together, they would make a fortune.
income.
Xiao Chaihe turned around and looked around the three of them.
The counter quickly whispered: "You will sell people to the south. No matter what their background is, I guarantee that no one will find us."
Two ferocious crickets were fighting fiercely in the field, and there was a loud roar all around. However, Xiao Chaihe stopped looking at it. He walked out of the cricket field and calmly ordered the counter: "Bring it to the back.
Come to the hall."
The counter clerk was stunned, knowing that this single seller's business was in ruins.
"That kid is so dumbfounded that he actually came to see Mr. Chai?"
In the back hall, Wang Xiao and three others were tied up and stood firmly.
Xiao Chaihe sat down on the ground with a big horse and a golden sword, and then said: "Are you here to find me?"
Wang smiled and said, "I'm here to find you."
Xiao Chaihe said: "Who asked you to come?"
Wang smiled and said, "I came here myself. I have a business to discuss with you."
Xiao Chaihe smiled: "Not everyone can do business with me, who introduced you?"
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then whispered tentatively: "Tang Qian..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chaihe interrupted: "Are you from Mr. Tang?"
Mr. Tang?
Wang Xiao thought of the scene when Tang Qianqian pressed him there and said softly, "As long as the young master becomes a member of the slave family."
"Ahem, I...can be considered hers," Wang said with a smile.
Xiao Chaihe waved his hand and said, "Let go of this kid."
Qin Xiaozhu shouted quickly over there: "We are also in the same group as him."
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes, "You are the size of a group of people. If it weren't for the two of you shouting, I wouldn't have been tied up."
"We'll talk about your business later," Xiao Chaihe said. He chuckled, ignored Qin Xiaozhu, and smiled at the king: "Tell me, what's the matter with Mr. Tang?"
"There is nothing wrong with Mr. Tang. I am looking for you if I have something to do." Wang said with a smile.
Xiao Chaihe looked at him again, as if he was laughing at him, what could happen to a young man with tender skin and tender flesh?
"explain."
Wang Xiao turned around and looked around. When he saw that the person behind the counter was escorting Qin Xiaozhu and Qin Xiaozhu, he said softly: "Is this convenient?"
With so many people watching, what he was going to say next was something serious and illegal.
Xiao Chaihe said again: "Say."
Wang laughed and said: "I want to fish for people in the prison cells of the patrol camp."
"What did you commit? How was you sentenced?"
"Kill three people, and Qiuhou will kill them."
Wang Xiao was a little hesitant, thinking that the young man had broken the law after all and would not be able to be fished out. But when he thought about it again, it was too much to kill him. After all, it was a human life.
Xiao Chaihe just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, forty taels of silver."
"Forty taels?" Wang Xiao was startled and exclaimed: "Is it so expensive?"
He had no idea about money in this era. He only heard that the old man sold a pair of children for more than three taels.
As for eldest brother Wang Zhenhua's one hundred taels, it was reserved for a certain building. Rich people can't compare with their money.
"Expensive?" Xiao Chaihe frowned, stood up, and said, "I was fighting crickets just now, did you see it?"
"I saw it." Wang Xiao said honestly.
"Do you know how much the bet was?"
When Wang Xiao heard this, he felt depressed. Just talk about business. Why are you pretending to be with me? Did I tell you to stop fighting with crickets?
I heard the counterman next to me take two steps forward and say as if he was complimenting me: "Master Chai left thousands of taels of games without even looking at them, and came to talk to you. It's just for Master Tang's sake. Do you still think it's inappropriate?"
expensive."
Wang Xiao doesn't like this trick. He used to run an online store and bargain with manufacturers when purchasing goods. He has seen this kind of routine too many times.
So he thought carefully and asked: "Excuse me, if I hire a guard, how much money will it cost?"
The counter clerk was happy when he heard it.
Hey, how could a young bird dare to do business with Mr. Chai?
Xiao Chaihe was too lazy to pay attention to him, nodded to the counter, turned around with his hands behind his back, meaning: Tell this kid.
The counter said: "It depends on how you invite them. Did you see those thugs in our gambling house just now? They have strong fists? Like this, you can get three taels of silver a month."
Wang Xiao then calculated silently in his heart.
Calculated based on the salary of a bodyguard in this gambling house, one tael of silver here is probably equivalent to... nearly two thousand yuan.
Then the eldest brother, a prodigal, booked a big hotel for a party and spent 200,000 yuan?! What kind of poetry party was this? It was clearly a Haitian banquet.
A dead loser!
Knowing that he had lent two hundred thousand yuan, Wang Xiao was quite depressed.
"Do you want to fish for that tall young man?"
The security guard at the casino looked strong and capable, and he was so cheap. But he struggled to catch the tall and thin young man, which seemed very foolish.
"Do you know Du Liangjun? He seems to be some kind of shopkeeper." Wang Xiao asked again.
The counter was a little impatient and hummed: "What are these small fish and shrimps? How can we recognize them?"
But a thug who was escorting Qin Xuance heard this and responded: "I know, he is the shopkeeper of Ruyi vinegar shop in Dongduoqiao, and he has three brothers."
Wang smiled and said: "Yes, what kind of person is he?"
"Hey, the guy named Du knows a lot about fists and kicks, so he is very arrogant and has caused trouble to many people, but he was actually chopped into pieces the day before yesterday..."
Wang Xiao asked: "How happy is it?"
“Great pleasure!”
"Okay." Wang Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to fish the tall and thin young man out, then gritted his teeth and said, "Forty taels is forty taels."
Xiao Chaihe then turned his head and asked, "Who are you trying to catch?"
Wang Xiao was stunned.
He realized that he didn't even ask the tall, thin young man his name.
"I don't know what his name is."
Xiao Chaihe curled his lips and was speechless.
Wang Xiao added: "But I know that he was imprisoned the day before yesterday for killing brother Du Liangjun."
Xiao Chaihe nodded and said calmly: "I know, pay the money first, and pick up the person after three days."
Wang smiled and said: "Okay, how much deposit should I pay first?"
"Hey, don't you understand? Pay the money first."
"Oh." Wang Xiao was somewhat reluctant, and he honestly took out the one hundred taels of silver notes in his arms and handed them over.
"By the way, I want to ask you one more thing. There is a man named White Tiger, and he has a tiger tattooed on his neck. He looks good at fighting. Do you know him?"
"White tiger?" Xiao Chaihe said casually: "He was originally a personal soldier of Commander Li. After Commander Li was beheaded, he became a desperado and committed several murders. He was ranked among the toughest gangsters in Gyeonggi Province.
If you get the number, this person's skills are pretty good, but his brain is a bit weak."
"How many murder cases have you committed?" Wang Xiao asked curiously: "Then if you are caught, you can't be executed?"
"Haha, who would catch him after having enough to eat and nothing to do?" Xiao Chaihe sneered.
