Chapter 142 Spending Public Money
I saw a group of people surrounding Zheng Da and his two companions, with four people being dragged behind them. Su He guessed that they were the human traffickers who went to the toilet.
"Captain Zheng, are you seriously injured? Is there a doctor in this village? If there is, I will find someone to invite him. Tianyuan Village will cover the medical expenses."
Zheng Daben wanted to say no but swallowed his words immediately, "Yes, we can ask Aunt Luo to find them. They are familiar with them."
"That's the best. Aunt Luo and the others must have been frightened by what happened this morning. We'd also like to trouble Escort Zheng to help explain. We don't know whether we should report these traffickers to the police. We also need to ask a doctor to see the dozen or so abducted people in the room."
When Zheng Da saw what was going on, he realized that he was injured and couldn't run around anymore, so he called two old men from the escort agency to go.
Because the traffickers' house smelled too strong, Su He asked the injured to squeeze into the Wang family's house.
Several village heads rushed over after hearing the news. In addition to Zheng Da, two men from Sanshi Village were also injured, one of whom was Li Da.
"The injuries of the three people are not serious, but they need to be carefully cared for for a month. They can only work after their wounds have healed. During this period, the wounds cannot touch water. Everyone needs to drink Chinese medicine for two days."
The doctor in Umemura was a sixty-year-old man with all white hair. After bandaging the three people, he made a conclusion.
"Doctor, is there any ointment that can help heal faster? We want to buy it."
Everything in the Soho space was bought by Hyundai, and she didn't want to use it unless necessary.
"We do have this, but it's quite expensive, 5 taels of silver for a small bottle. According to the three of you, you'll need at least 9 bottles."
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the people around him gasped.
Even the wealthy Zhou thought it was too expensive, not to mention Zheng Da who only had 10 taels of silver on him.
"Buy 20 bottles."
Su He directly took out a 100-yuan silver note, which was just enough to pay for the medicine.
The old doctor didn't expect that these people, who were dressed in rags, could be so wealthy that they bought out his entire year's stock in one go.
"Haha, you are so generous, girl. Since you are so forthcoming, I won't charge you for the consultation. If you stay here for a few more days, I can come to your house and check it out for free."
"Doctor, there are a lot of people who have been knocked unconscious next door. Please go and take a look."
The old doctor didn't expect that he would come alive after saying some polite words, and his smile immediately became a little forced.
"Okay, in that case I'll go take a look."
The old doctor left two bottles of medicine and asked the medicine boy to get the rest. He took the medicine box and went next door.
Su He followed him, and the others stayed behind. The bandits who went to the toilet had not been searched yet, so everyone was searching the house now.
"They all drank an overdose of knockout drugs, and they will probably wake up after a night. But these people took an overdose of drugs, so they need to be well taken care of after they wake up."
The eldest lady was quite nice and she carefully checked the pulse of every person lying on the kang.
"Thank you very much, old sir. We will ask you again if there is anything else we can do for you."
"Haha, I live in the middle of the village. Aunt Luo knows me. You can ask her to call me whenever you need me."
The old doctor was very nice. No matter what, he made a profit on this trip.
The old doctor waited until his medicine boy delivered the medicine and then left.
Su He looked at the heavy rain outside, then looked at the young man wearing black sheepskin boots, and thought about his next itinerary.
Besides the unconscious person lying on the bed, Su He was the only one left in the room. She remembered that she had not looked at the bag she had robbed yet. Since there was no one around, she took it out and had a look.
The bundle was very thick and I had to open it layer by layer three times before I could see what was inside.
Niubi!
There was such a thick stack of silver notes, including 100 taels, 200 taels, 500 taels, and finally two largest ones of taels.
Su He didn't need to count to know that there were at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in the room. No wonder no silver was found in the house, it turned out that it was all looted by the leader who wanted to run away alone.
There were also several hundred taels of silver in the bundle, as well as some gold hairpins and bracelets, which were probably also searched.
Su He picked up a familiar jade pendant. Isn’t this the one that that person left in the kitchen?
The half-open door was pushed open, and Su He put all the banknotes and the baggage into the space without having time to think.
"Aunt, my grandma is looking for you."
Tiantian took Miaomiao and ran to find Suhe.
Now everyone was under control, and the little kids at home became active, running to the kitchen and then to their own bunk beds.
"Okay, I'll come right away."
After getting the reply, Tiantian and the other person ran back. Su He adjusted his mood and went out as well.
"Hehua, three hundred and twenty taels of silver for two people, three hundred tael silver notes, a twenty tael silver bar, fifteen copper coins, and two gold bracelets."
Zhou smiled and showed their results, which were the result of their three repeated searches.
"Aunt, you guys are amazing. Keep it for now and we'll share it in the evening."
Zhou hid the silver quickly and said, "Okay, we can discuss this among ourselves."
"Let my cousin and his friends drag these people back to their own house and we can deal with them together in the evening."
It's daytime now, and even though it's raining hard, there will still be people passing by. It would be very dangerous to drag someone into the woods, so we'd better wait until late at night when everyone is asleep.
Su He brought her family back to her big bunk bed. This time no one left and people were crowded on and under the kang.
"Lotus, we have found six hundred taels of silver notes, two thin sheets of gold, and two pieces of jade."
Wang Zhun put all the gold and silver he found in a cloth for Su He to see. Su He looked at the smelly silver bills and refused to touch them. It was obvious that they were picked out from his feet.
"Well, hand over 30 taels, and you can divide the rest among yourself. Everyone who participated will get a share, and the three injured people will get an extra taels for nutrition. The other people will share it equally."
Zheng Da was very surprised, "Hehua, do we have some in our escort agency too?"
"Of course, you have also paid, and we all advance and retreat together, and we are treated the same."
There were four people from the escort agency involved. They were all laughing happily. This employer was really generous.
"But we also spent money on the plaster, should we deduct it first?"
It was common for people like them to get injured, and Zheng Da felt a little embarrassed to share the money with the host.
"This is what I think. We are fighting against human traffickers for the 200 people in Tianyuan Village. Since the money we get should be handed over to the village, then we should use the money we handed over to see a doctor if we are injured for the sake of the village. Otherwise, who will be willing to do this in the future? So this money will be deducted from the taels handed over to the village."
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something. Village Chief Xu smacked his lips. At this moment, he only hated that he was too old, otherwise it would not be the turn of these brats to take advantage of him.
"Oh, by the way, I remember this group of people had five or six carts and mules. These will be considered as the property of the village and will be temporarily used by those who don't have carriages to travel."
Now some people in the crowd were excited again. There was a man named Xiaozhao, whose family had three men who ran every day. The blisters on the soles of their feet had not yet gone away but new ones appeared. This time their family signed up to save more money to buy a mule. They didn't dare to think about it before, but since the trip to the valley began, everyone knew that danger comes with opportunities. If they succeed, they will be like Wang Bin and will not have to worry for several lifetimes.
Su He looked at the still rainy weather and said, "Village chief, please keep the silver you handed in this time and go buy some supplies from the villagers, such as raincoats. Everyone is soaked by the rain. Go back and boil some water and ask the innkeeper for some ginger to add to the water. The cost will be deducted from the village's reserve fund. Everyone go back and have a meal to replenish your energy and take a nap in the afternoon. I guess we won't be able to leave today again."
Su He was a little worried. She was really afraid that the people in Tianyuan Village would be trapped here.
"Okay, Lotus, then we'll go back first, hehe."
After hearing this, everyone left happily. It was really nice to use public money.
Zhou and several other village heads as well as Zheng Da left and took their people home to make a fire and eat.
Wang Quangui also came up at this time, "Hehua, that man still has 500 taels on him."
Su He smiled. She was lucky as she caught the fattest fish.
"Uncle, you don't have to hand this in. You can keep half and the remaining half will be used as our Wang family's own reserve fund."
Wang Quangui smiled happily, he was lucky to get this.
"Hehua, you take the three hundred taels, and use the rest as a reserve fund. I don't want it. Your uncle can't take advantage of this."
Su He did not shirk the responsibility. She was the one who killed the man alone. If she did not have a space, she would have been reincarnated long ago. She took the greatest risk.
