The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 379
On the top of the lush vegetation, a wooden cottage is quietly hidden in the middle of the towering old forest.

In the center is a wide hall called Juyi Hall.

At this moment in the Gathering Hall, the atmosphere was quite silent.

All the middle and high-level people in the cottage are present.

The second leader and the third leader, together with their respective little bosses, looked at the big leader above with distressed faces.

The atmosphere became more and more serious.

After a while.

The second leader, who was still sitting in the second chair, spoke up.

"Brother, now our village is almost out of food, and we should take some money from the money we hid years ago, so that we can go down the mountain to buy some wine, meat and food. Brothers haven't seen meat for a long time! !"

"Yes, brother, isn't money supposed to be used? And now is not the time to be stingy."

The third leader also quickly nodded and echoed, "Brother, there is no oil or water in the stomach of the big guy now. If this continues, what are we going to do? I'm afraid everyone will become soft-footed shrimp..."

The other bosses, big and small, looked at the big boss with burning eyes.

There was another mountain wind whistling outside, blowing the "Yi" flag on the flagpole at the entrance of Juyi hall to rattle.

After a while, the head of the family sighed.

He smiled wryly at everyone, and said: "Brothers, this time it's really not that I've been stingy, it's that I can't afford the money!"

"what?!"

"Impossible, what about the several boxes of white silver ingots, how can they be gone?!"

"Is this the head of the family wanting to steal all the money?"

"Put your mother's stinky fart, the head of the family is not that kind of person..."

In the gathering hall.

Everyone buzzed and made a fuss, everyone had everything to say.

"quiet!"

Seeing this, the second master yelled sharply.

The loud voice startled everyone in the Juyi Hall, but they managed to control the noisy scene.

Looking at the first master above, the second master's expression was extremely solemn.

"Brother, don't you have anything you want to explain to the brothers?"

"Explain what? What explanation do you want?"

The face of the head of the family also sank, "You all know what kind of person I am, from the time when the three of us formed a friendship with Jinlan and created a foundation on this mountain. Li's business?"

"That's what the master said!"

"We must have blamed the big master..."

There was another burst of noise.

The second head and the third head looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.

"Brothers, be quiet, listen to me first!"

The leader stretched out his hand to press down, and the gathering hall suddenly fell silent.

"Do you still remember the batch of brand-new swords and some half-new cotton armor from years ago?"

The head of the family asked: "What do you think of those things?"

"Could it be..."

Everyone vaguely reacted.

The head of the family nodded, "That's right, those weapons, cotton armor, etc., I bought them from outside with money!"

"That should be replaced!"

Everyone nodded, it was a matter of eating and saving their own lives, so it was reasonable to spend some money.

At this moment, "Gululu..."

A thunderous roar sounded from the stomach of a little boss.

Facing everyone's staring eyes, the little boss scratched his head, "Then what, boss, I'm just getting hungry, I'm hungry for a while..."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

It's just that there are a lot of forced smiles in this laughter.

Wait for the laughter to stop.

The third master couldn't help frowning, and said, "Now the village doesn't even have money to buy food, why don't we go to the villages at the foot of the mountain and collect this year's insurance premiums in advance?"

"no!"

The head of the family flatly refused.

"We just collected the insurance premiums from the surrounding villages last winter, and now it's the time for spring plowing, and the families are not picking up the crops. We really have to go again, I'm afraid we will starve to death!

It's fine in other places, but the ones around our own cottage are absolutely unacceptable! "

"Brother is right, this can't work!"

The second leader nodded, "Rabbits don't even eat the grass beside their nests. Besides, most of the brothers in our cottage came here from many villages at the foot of the mountain. There are a lot of relatives in a mess. If we really do this, we may The brothers under his command are about to mutiny!"

The third leader sat down on his own chair.

"This is not allowed, and that is not allowed! Those two brothers, tell me, what should we do now?!"

The head of the family and the second head of the family, "..."

"...it's up to me to figure it out."

In the end, it was the head of the family who came forward and took the matter down.

……

At the stall where everyone is worried.

Outside the Juyi Hall, the watchman in charge ran in with a gust of wind.

"Report!!!"

"Brother Qi... the head of the family, there is a convoy coming down the mountain, it should be a big fat sheep, I think there are nearly a hundred people in the convoy just of maids and servants."

Such a big fleet?

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

The young man continued: "In addition, the ruts of the four carriages in the middle of the convoy are extremely deep, and it takes two horses to pull the carriages, but there are only three or four large boxes on the four carriages. It is most likely all gold and silver!"

Gold, silver and jewelry loaded with four carriages

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't sit still.

"Brother, I think it's God's will," said the third head of the family with a happy face, "We just talked about the matter of having no money, and a big fat sheep came to the door later, it is really God's eye."

The head of the family had never been opened by those Jingying, and asked: "How many guards are there in the convoy? Are there other flags or signs?"

"Going back to the head of the family, the convoy has neither flags nor signs, and even the guards inside are only about forty servants with weapons..."

"This is really a fat sheep delivered to the door!"

Everyone's eyes are shining.

Hearing the words, the head of the family no longer hesitated, and immediately waved his hand, "Brothers, hurry up and gather people, let's make a big one today!"

"Yes!"

All the big and small bosses responded loudly, and then trotted back to gather their subordinates.

…………

at the foot of the mountain.

The convoy that the thieves regarded as a big fat sheep was Jia Jing and his party who had just been sealed off in Yunnan.

"Master, is it really okay for you to say that fishing like us does?"

Shuan Zhu looked at the stretching and curving convoy. The signs and flags on the vehicles were all put away under Jia Jing's order.

What stands out at this point is one meaning.

I am a big fat sheep, come and rob me!
