Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 39
(I wish you all a happy holiday, and also ask for support. Whether you can successfully advance to the third round depends on everyone! Go, go, go!)

On this day, the gold husbands were busy, and a group of bandit cavalry galloped over, stirring up dust in the sky.

Behind a horse was dragging the body of an old man. His body was still sound, but at least he couldn't see what he looked like. It was a bloody mess.

The gold men stopped what they were doing and approached the stopped cavalry from different directions.

Xiao Jinli walked over and asked Zhu Chuanren:
"Oh my god, what's going on?"

Zhu Chuanren frowned and said nothing. He had been thinking about how to get the bandits' situation for the past two days, but he didn't expect the bandits to kill him first.

Over there in the wooden house, Dana Jin heard the noise and ran over with a gloomy face to talk to the bandits.

Zhu Chuanren pricked up his ears and couldn't understand the slang at all.

"who are you?"

"I am me."

"Press your wrist!"

"Shut the fire."

"Where are you coming from?"

"Hulan Haka."

"The grass is dry and empty? The grass is rich in water, and the dry grass is connected to the sea. If it is not empty, it is not dry, and the grass is curled up?"

The bandit suddenly stopped talking nonsense, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Are you the locker here?"

Dana Jin cupped her fists at a 45-degree angle and raised her hands: "Exactly."

The bandit raised his riding whip and said, "Well, it's none of your business. I've taken care of everything. This is an old gold digger, not one of our people. This old man wants to take the sand gold he mined last year back to Qilu. This is This is his fate!"

Zhu Kaishan and others looked indifferent, while Xiao Jinni next to him looked at the corpse in horror.

Da Jinli, Niu Dejin, Lao Yaner and others listened with different expressions.

All the gold men looked at each other with different expressions.

The bandit continued to raise his whip and scolded Fang Qiu, speaking full of truth:

"As the old saying goes, nothing can be achieved without rules. This Laojingou is our territory, so naturally we have to obey our rules.

We want to protect you from digging for gold in peace and safety. If you find gold, you cannot hide it or take it out.

You have also seen the consequences of taking it privately. If you don’t believe in evil, you can try it and see if my sword is sharp! "

After saying that, the small mouse-like eyes swiped across the faces of the gold husbands one by one with murderous intent, snorted coldly, hit the horse's buttocks hard with the whip, and the horses neighed and flew away.

The gold men gasped and looked at the blood gourd lying motionless on the ground in silence.

Dana Jin looked at the direction in which the bandits were leaving, turned around, and said to everyone with a "sad" face:

"Guys, have you seen it? Is it easy for us gold diggers?
There are officials in charge of us, and there are several caravans waiting for us all around, and they are all masters who kill without blinking an eye.

Therefore, when we find gold, we must not hide it. We have to hand it over to the counter and exchange it for wages. This is the rule!
The emperor has ordered that gold is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and the foundation of the country. Taking out even one grain is treason and a capital crime.

Most of you are from Qilu. It has been hundreds of years. How many of you have brought gold back home?
I would like to advise everyone, don’t take risks and follow the rules.

Guys, take a look at the mountain over there. All the gold diggers from Qilu are buried there. The gold mine has been opened here since the Daoguang period. Until now, no one can take the alluvial gold out!

Those who did not follow the rules will leave behind these bones. Think about it carefully. Which one is more valuable, gold or life? "

Dana Jinda's "sincere" advice really frightened a group of people, especially those who were timid in the first place. After being so frightened, they dared not have any second thoughts, and they all lowered their heads and went to work.

Only Zhu Chuanren and Zhu Kaishan, father and son, looked at each other without saying a word. The bandits could not scare them, and that Jin Dana was not taken seriously by them.

The question now is, how many bandits are there? Zhu Chuanren, the government official, has basically figured out. Once he knows the number and level of bandits, he can start to grab the gold mine!
"Dad, is there any good way?"

In the evening, the gold lovers finished their work and walked to the wooden house in twos and threes.

Zhu Chuanren and Zhu Kaishan were at the end, 30 meters away from the team in front, walking slowly and leisurely. "There is a way, but"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Chuanren couldn't help asking when he saw that his father was hesitant to speak.

"It's okay, just go find a horse, an old horse will do."

"Looking for a horse? That's easy. There are plenty at the stable, but Dad, what do you want to do?"

"You will know when I find him."

Zhu Chuanren paused and glanced at the mouth of the ditch downstream of the river. He seemed to have guessed what Zhu Kaishan was going to do.

At night, Zhu Chuanren took advantage of the time to go to the toilet and touched the stable. There were more than a dozen horses here, most of them were old horses with almost missing teeth.

He walked into the stable, touched the faces of the old horses one by one, said sorry secretly, untied the reins of a horse at random, and led it outside.

The narrow mouth of the ditch was silent. Zhu Chuanren led his horse and hid quietly behind a tree, looking at the quiet mouth of the ditch.

After a long time, he suddenly stabbed the horse in the butt, and with a pop, blood spurted out, almost splashing on his face.

The horse neighed and ran towards the mouth of the ditch, even faster than at its peak.

Zhu Chuanren leaned on the tree trunk and paid close attention to the direction of the Mizoguchi.

About a few minutes later, a row of intensive gunshots suddenly came from the mouth of the ditch.

Then there was the pitiful cry of a horse neighing.

Zhu Chuanren leaned against the tree trunk, squinting his eyes for a long time, and returned to the wooden house silently.

When Zhu Kaishan saw his son coming back with a slumped face, he immediately guessed what he was doing.

As soon as he was about to ask, he was scolded by Da Jinli and the others. It wasn't until the next morning, when everyone was on their way to work after breakfast, that Zhu Kaishan found a chance to ask his son when no one else was around:

"San'er, did you try it yesterday?"

"Well, there is indeed someone guarding the other side of the ditch. There were at least a dozen gunshots. It was impossible to get through."

Zhu Kaishan muttered:

"This bunch of gangsters have been entrenched in Jingou for many years and know every pass like a master."

"Yeah, it looks like it would be best to have the opportunity to get them together so that we can catch them all through an ambush."

Zhu Kaishan glanced at his son in surprise and said:

"Where did you learn these tactics?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War, 36 Strategies, things from our ancestors are still very useful."

"Haha, we have plenty of time, just think about it slowly."

"Dad, how did those Qing soldiers discover that there was something wrong with He Laosi?"

"I don't know. I can't tell. I'm afraid I can only ask He Laosi about this."

However, He Laosi has long been reduced to bones, and it is unrealistic to ask him. This is a dead end.

The weather has warmed up, it is approaching evening, and after another day of work, the gold husbands who live in the same house are having dinner in front of the wooden house.

Everyone was squatting or sitting, talking while eating.

Niu Dejin said: "The horse died so miserably, it was almost turned into a sieve! Fortunately, there was no one riding on it!"

A gold man said enigmatically:
"What do you know? I'm using horses to test my reputation first! Master!"

Xiao Jinli asked suddenly:
"Who is this man?"

Da Jin Li laughed:
"Oh, no matter who he is! Anyway, this is a dragnet. Once you're in, don't even think about getting out. Just accept your fate..."
