Chapter 233 Conspiracy
In another secluded place in Chenjia Village, Wang Ergou, a lazy man from Zhangjia Village, weighed the silver in his hand and praised: "Sister, hehe, you have made a lot of silver again!"
Wang Qiuxiang, wife of the village chief, said: "You don't know, I heard that Su Yu made a lot of money by selling some stones behind Menghu Mountain, but he only gave us villagers a few melons and dates, which is not much at all."
When the name Su Yu was mentioned, Wang Ergou immediately became energetic. He asked, "Is it the Su Yu who lives in Taohua Alley?"
Wang Qiuxiang looked at her brother puzzledly and asked, "Yes, how did you know?"
Wang Ergou whispered: "Oh, sister, you don't know, in our Zhangjia Village, thanks to Su Yu's new method of raising pigs, the pigs are now fat and strong, and not fishy. Now in our village, pork is selling well, and everyone is making a lot of money."
These words made Wang Qiuxiang even more confused and asked: "Then why do you come to me for money? Haven't you made a lot of money?"
Wang Ergou complained: "Don't say that. I didn't agree with their way of raising pigs before, so I took the pigs home to raise them. Now I want to raise them with them, but they don't agree. I regret it so much."
Hearing her brother say this, Wang Qiuxiang's eyes turned, "Why don't you come here and follow me, we can secretly take a look and see what Su Yu is doing with the stones on the mountain? How he makes money, and then we can do the same, won't we also make a fortune?"
So the two of them discussed in whispers for a long time.
Until the wife of the village chief, Aunt Lian, shouted: "Dalang's wife, where have you been, you lazy thing? Come to the kitchen and help."
"Okay, Mom," Wang Qiuxiang responded loudly in a casual voice.
Before leaving, Wang Qiuxiang reminded Wang Ergou: "It's settled now. You go to Taohua Lane to ask around, and I will ask around in the village."
"Okay, sister."
Wang Ergou left Chenjia Village with increasingly brisk steps. Before he had even finished his business, Wang Ergou began to fantasize about becoming a wealthy businessman with money in the future and having several concubines.
He secretly hated the people in Zhangjia Village. Humph, you don't let me make money, so I will make it myself. You just look down on them for being outsiders. They don't have the surname Zhang, so you just bully the people in the Wang family.
He probably forgot the scene when he threw a tantrum and talked nonsense in order to avoid castrating the pig.
At the same time, inside the military tent, Wang Er fell into deep thought as he watched his father and brother leaving on an ox cart.
The emperor has issued an edict that half a month later, most of the people will set off for the northern border, and a small number of people will set off for the southern border. Therefore, a special amnesty is granted today, and they are allowed to see their families for a quarter of an hour.
The soldiers were grateful for the emperor's special gift, especially Wang Er. He learned from his younger brother that it was Master Su who saved his father's life when he was away from home.
Otherwise, even if he returned from the army many years later, even if he was covered in glory, he would never see his father again.
The tall and straight young man knelt down in the direction of Taohua Lane and kowtowed heavily in that direction.
Mr. Su, if you manage to return this time, I, Wang Er, will definitely repay this great favor within my lifetime. The young man's eyes were filled with incomparable determination.
"Brother Wang, what are you doing kneeling on the ground? Should we give Captain Niu some silver and choose to go to southern Xinjiang? I heard that the weather in northern Xinjiang is cold. Once winter comes, those who are not feeling well usually go there and never come back."
Wang Er climbed up, looked into the distance, and said, "No, I want to go to the northern border."
He was going to help Mr. Su's sister, Miss Su, go to that extremely cold place to collect the rare and good medicine that his father had mentioned.
He used to think that Young Master Su's family was a wealthy family, but after listening to what Bai Mufan said last time, he realized that the situation of Young Master Su's family was not as good as he thought.
"Ah, Brother Wang, if you go to Northern Xinjiang, then I will go too. Brother, I will follow you from now on."
"I follow Brother Wang Er too, me too," several strong men came one after another and said in unison.
Secret agent Zhang Feng looked at the young man. Although he was young, he was loved by everyone and admired by the soldiers. He had the qualities of a great general and should be a promising talent. He stepped forward and said, "I'm going to the Northern Frontier too."
He had already received a secret order to enter the northern border military camp.
Wang Erdao: "Okay."
After observing Zhang Feng who entered the camp later for many days, he found that he was not a bad person. He just made things difficult for General Bai from time to time, which was exactly what he wanted.
As the sky gradually darkened, at the entrance of Xingfu Alley, on the ox cart, Wang Sanxiao said like an adult: "Dad, my brother is really awesome. I see he has made a lot of friends."
When Father Wang mentioned his son, his face was also full of pride, "That's right, he has become much stronger. He is my son. It is said that sons imitate their fathers. It turns out that the ancients were right. Think about the past, look at me, your father..."
As the ox cart was moving, Wang San saw a fire suddenly appear in the alley and suddenly shouted: "Dad, the house is on fire."
Old Man Wang looked at the place where the fire was, wasn't that Madam Tao's house? "I, your father, have seen it, just stay here and don't move, I'll go down and take a look", and then Old Man Wang got off the ox cart and rushed into the alley.
At this moment, Old Man Wang suddenly saw Liu Ermaizi, in tattered clothes and in a miserable state, running out of Madam Tao's house in a hurry.
Liu Ermaizi looked flustered, his eyes flickering, as if he was guilty of a crime. Behind him, Tao Niangzi's house was already ablaze with flames. The fire was getting more and more intense, illuminating half the sky red.
Seeing Liu Ermaizi so panicked, Old Man Wang felt a little uneasy. He rushed forward and grabbed Liu Ermaizi's collar tightly.
He shouted angrily, "Liu Ermazi, what on earth did you do at Madam Tao's house? Did you set the fire?"
Liu Ermaizi was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He waved his hands frantically and stammered, "No, no, no... It really wasn't me. It was Madam Tao who set the fire herself. I didn't expect her to be so chaste..."
Old Man Wang was so anxious that he didn't even bother to listen to Liu Ermaizi's nonsense. He asked anxiously, "Where is Madam Tao?"
Liu Ermazi was completely intimidated by Old Man Wang's aura. He didn't dare to hide anything and answered honestly, "She...she's still in the house."
Hearing this, Old Man Wang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and hit Liu Ermaizi's head hard. There was a dull "bang" sound, and Liu Ermaizi fell to the ground with a scream.
However, just as Old Man Wang was about to rush into Madam Tao's house to save people, two black shadows suddenly rushed out from the side like ghosts.
