Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 100 The Thief Chief Kowtows ([-])
There is only one trouble left, but one more doubt.

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and asked: "You rely on the old gang of Bazhou thieves, and you are in charge of Bailixia. After the merger of the two parties, your strength has greatly increased. You have nearly a thousand people under your command. Presumably there are still many thieves in Bailixia now. There must be at least several thousand people in your family. This person eats horse chews, which must consume a lot of money. At the same time, you said that since you entered Bailixia, you have not harassed the nearby people very much, so as not to cause trouble. The government pays attention... Then, how do you support such a large group of people? Don’t tell me that you are farming in the mountains and valleys of Baili Gorge."

"Mr. Gao, don't tell me, even though Baili Gorge is in a valley, I have actually cultivated some fields, but if you really have to care about those fields, it is really useless." Cao Gan has a good attitude at the moment. After reading a lot, he glanced at Liu Ting, with some hesitation on his face, and simply added: "Bailixia has another way to make money."

Liu Ting turned his face away with a look of disdain, and muttered: "What if the rabbit doesn't eat the grass by the side of the nest? It's too embarrassing to rob it around the old nest. It's nothing more than robbing the business traveler. What else is there to make money?" , virtue."

"You!" Cao Gan glared, but forcibly held back, and also turned his face away, too lazy to respond.

Gao Wushi looked at Cao Gan, thought for a while, and said, "Master Cao, I already have a general understanding of your situation, and you must have already guessed the reason for my visit... how about it?" , should he listen to my persuasion and go back to the right path, or should he persevere and fight to the death?"

Cao Gan struggled a bit, hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Young Master Gao, you are really good at playing this hand. Now the surname Cao wants to advance or retreat, but he can only be slaughtered by you."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said comfortingly, "I'm really doing it for your own good."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gao, I still have two questions that I have to ask you first, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Gao Yushi would misunderstand, and added: "This matter is of great importance, Cao has to Let me ask clearly first, and ask Mr. Gao to forgive me."

Gao Wushi still kept smiling, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, Master Cao just ask."

Cao Gan stared into Gao Yushi's eyes: "Can Mr. Gao guarantee that we will be able to clear our identities?"

Gao Yushi's face remained unchanged, and he said: "You and your closest deployment, as long as the loyal and reliable elders or have a skill, they will be my family members in the future; those who are a little farther away or have mediocre abilities will be my long-term workers in Sanshen Garden; Can become tenants of Sanshen Garden. But I have to declare in advance that I may not have land for them to plant, but as long as they can still move, I can probably arrange some work for them. As for the elderly, disabled and other incapable workers , I can pay to feed them, but I can only guarantee that they will not starve to death."

Cao Gan's expression relaxed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your benevolence." Although Gao Yushi didn't say it explicitly, since he was willing to let them become his servants, long-term workers, or tenants, he was willing to endorse them to whitewash their identities.Although it should be difficult for such a large group of people to whitewash their identities, judging from the wisdom Gao Yushi has shown before, this person has a far-reaching understanding of Daming officialdom that is far beyond his own. Since he can agree, it must be true. grasp.

As for the conditions given by Gao Pragmatism, to be honest, they have already exceeded Cao Gan's expectations.In this day and age, don't think that being a servant is shameful. A servant can be directly equated with a "confidant" in many cases!So for ordinary people, being a housekeeper is a promising job, especially being a servant of a big shot—of course, Gao Yushi himself is not a big shot, but he can't stand up to someone with a prominent family background!Among other things, one word can determine the life and death of the entire Bailixia!This is not a big man, what is a big man?To him, Cao Gan, this is a big shot!
Gao Wushi asked again: "Is there anything else Master Cao wants to ask?"

Cao Gan smiled wryly, and said, "Young Master Gao is very thoughtful, and what I wanted to ask was answered more than half of what I wanted to ask without asking. In addition, Cao was a little puzzled, as Young Master Gao, why did he insist on... ...to..." He seemed unable to think of a word to describe the situation in front of him.

"You want to ask, why do I insist on... recruiting a group of thieves of yours?" Gao Wushi had a mysterious smile on his face.

Cao Gan's heart skipped a beat, but the matter had come to an end, so he nodded.

Gao Wushi suddenly looked at Liu Ting, with a calm but firm expression, and said, "Brother Zishou, I have a few words to say to Master Cao alone, can you avoid it a little?"

Liu Ting was startled at first, and then was taken aback: "Young Master Gao, this man used to be a traitor, but now he is a thieves. He is not a kind person. It is too dangerous for you to talk to him alone!"

Gao Wushi smiled and shook his head: "The reasoning has already been explained. With Cao Da's wisdom, he won't do anything stupid. Don't worry, brother Zishou."

Liu Ting shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, there is a saying that the son of a daughter can't sit down. Mr. Gao, what kind of status are you, why put yourself in danger for a mere Baili Gorge?"

Gao Yushi was a little bit embarrassed. Although he thought it was impossible for Cao Gan to threaten him personally, Liu Ting came here to protect himself. He stood in the position of others and refused to let himself take risks. Of course.

At this time, something unexpected happened to both Liu Ting and Gao Wushi.

Cao Gan stood up suddenly, Liu Ting's body tensed subconsciously, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at him suddenly, and saw Cao Gan kneel down straight in the direction of Gao Yushi, and kowtowed: "Little man Cao Gan, I have seen the young master. The villain is willing to worship the young master as a slave. In this life, I will never regret it. If there is any act of treachery, the villain is willing to kill off children and grandchildren, and the sky will be struck by lightning."

Liu Ting clenched his fists and stood aside in a daze, a little at a loss.

However, Gao Yushi took the opportunity to step forward, helped Cao Gan up with his own hands, and said with a smile on his face, "Get up, Cao Gan, since you have entered my house, some things will be easier to handle..." Then he turned his head and said to some angry people. The stupefied Liu Ting said: "Brother Zishou, what are you worried about now? In the future he will work in my house, I can't ask you to take care of me every time, can I? Don't worry, don't worry."

Seeing Cao Gan being lifted up by Gao Yushi, Liu Ting really just stood obediently by his side and waited, without the slightest intention of attacking back. Whether he admits it or not, Mr. Gao made the right bet this time.

He sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Gao, I'll wait outside. If you... have something to do, just call and I'll be there in no time." Without waiting for Gao Yushi to answer, he said to Cao Gan: "Cao, I hope you keep your word and don't force me to do it."
