Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 117 The Sour Scholar Enters the Mountain

As the saying goes, good times will come after bad times. Just when Chen Ke was looking for talented people, Chen Minghua actually brought his whole family and Bian Shichun to Fobao.

Chen Gu specially sent someone to notify Bian Shichun to come to Fobao. The purpose was naturally to let him pass on a message to the Han family and bring kerosene, preservative oil and lubricating oil to the Han family for a look. If the Han family is interested, they can send someone to Fobao to discuss cooperation matters.

As for the sour scholar Chen Minghua going into the mountains, it was completely beyond Chen Gu's expectations, and he also brought his whole family with him, which made Chen Gu even more surprised.

In his previous life, Chen Jue had few relatives. As he grew older, he felt less and less family love. He had no love and not much friendship.

After coming to this world, although Liu Er and Suan Xiucai were not talkative, Chen Gu could feel that they cared about him and were willing to spend time teaching and training him. Now that Liu Er was dead, Suan Xiucai chose to come into the mountains, which really surprised Chen Gu.

"Killer, hello, sir. Hello, mistress. Hello, eldest brother. Hello, second brother. Hello, two sisters-in-law!" Chen the Killer bowed to them one by one, performing the ceremony meticulously.

"Okay, why all the empty formalities!" said the sour scholar with a smile.

"It's my duty, sir. I am very grateful that you allow me to go into the mountains!" Chen Gu said with a smile.

"I know you are short of people, so I came here." The sour scholar said with a smile.

Such a simple sentence moved Chen Gu deeply. I knew you were short of people, so I came here without considering what you could give me. This is enough.

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Gu's voice trembled a little, and he bowed to the sour scholar again.

"Please arrange accommodation for us first. We'll talk in detail when you've finished your important business!" Sour Scholar glanced at Bian Shichun and said.

"This~!" Chen Gu was stunned. The sour scholar came suddenly, and Fobao didn't have a suitable place to accommodate his family of more than ten people. "Zhongyi Hall has a backyard. Why don't you take your family and live there temporarily!"

Bian Shichun couldn't help but look at Chen Gu in surprise, then looked at Suan Xiucai. He knew that Chen Gu was living in that backyard now, and he was willing to give it up to Suan Xiucai to live in. In this case, he might have to re-evaluate the status of the Chen family in Chen Gu's heart.

The sour scholar shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I have never been to Fobao, I know that backyard, and I know that you live in it, and you live with two women. This is not appropriate. I will arrange a new place for you to stay temporarily. It is enough to be able to shelter from the wind and rain. Anyway, you will not be frozen now, so there is no need to be so particular."

Chen Jue knew Suan Xiucai well. Since he said so, he would definitely not live in the small courtyard behind Zhongyi Hall. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll have to inconvenience you and let you stay in the warehouse for a few days. I will build a courtyard for you as soon as possible!"

"Okay, take us there!" said the sour scholar, nodding.

Chen Gu called a few people to help move things. Not only did Suan Xiucai's whole family come, they also brought a lot of things, which showed that they were planning to settle down here.

After settling the sour scholar, Chen the Assassin took Bian Shichun to Zhongyi Hall.

After Chen Gu left, Chen Qicai, who had just returned from Renhuai and didn't know much about the situation, frowned and asked, "Dad, why did our whole family have to go into the mountains?"

"It was the result of a family discussion." The sour scholar sighed and explained, "First, in order to avoid disaster, Delentang used Liu Er's plan to trap Prajna, but was killed by Prajna who brought people into the city.

Not only did they lose five hundred elite soldiers, but even Delentang himself fell into Prajna's hands. It was said that he was brought back here by Prajna and beheaded to commemorate Liu Er.

I gave him the name Prajna, and everyone in the county knew that he went to my house to study. The reason why Rongzhao didn't touch us was because the Jianrui Battalion had been completely destroyed and he didn't have enough strength to protect himself, so he just endured it temporarily. When the time is right, I'm afraid he won't let us go.

Therefore, at this time, the clan has publicly expelled our entire family.

Secondly, we went into the mountains to assist Prajna. Although Prajna's strength is not strong enough to resist the imperial court, her potential for development is very large, so the family is ready to bet on Prajna, and our family is just playing a vanguard role. "

"This guy was able to kill 500 elite soldiers?" Chen Qi asked in surprise, "How many people did he bring into the city?"

"Two hundred people!" Chen Tao said with a smile.

"Two hundred people?" The expression on Chen Qi's face turned into shock.

Chen Tao smiled and said, "That's why everyone is betting on him. Didn't you see that the Bian family is involved with him? They are really powerful!"

"It's really amazing!" Chen Qi agreed, then smacked his lips and his expression gradually became excited.

After all, if you can defeat a battalion of 500 elite soldiers with just 200 people, then you can really achieve great things. If given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to do something big?

Everyone wants to climb higher.

What is Jianrui Camp?

When the court's most elite army attacked Jinchuan, Emperor Qianlong only formed a battalion of 1,000 elite soldiers. Not only were all of them selected from the most elite soldiers, but they also had the best weapons, training, salaries, etc.

Such a powerful force was actually annihilated by Chen Gu with a smaller force. That means Chen Gu had an army that was even more powerful than the Jianrui Battalion.

It has only been more than three months since Chen Gui entered the mountains, but he has already built such a powerful army. With time, great things may be accomplished.

"Did he suffer heavy losses? How did he win?" Chen Qi couldn't help but ask.

"We only lost a few people. I heard that they were killed by Delentang himself who led the cavalry to attack us." Chen Tao laughed and said, "As for how we won, I don't know the details. Those guys who are recovering in the mountain village are saying all kinds of things. It's a mess. I always feel that they are bragging!"

"If it's just the loss of a few people, it doesn't matter whether he brags or not. Even if he succeeded in a sneak attack, it's already very impressive.

After all, they defeated the enemy with fewer troops, and they fought against an army like Jianrui Battalion. They only paid the price of a few people to annihilate 500 people. Their combat power is definitely extraordinary!" Chen Qi said excitedly.

In Zhongyi Hall, Bian Shichun was looking at the oil lamp in front of him with great excitement. Such good lamp oil was only sold for more than ten cents per pound. The profit that could be made would be enormous.

The key is that the quantity is also sufficient, with an output of more than 10,000 kilograms every day, which means that if it is sold at double the price, more than 100 taels of silver can be earned every day.

Although the Bian family can be said to be wealthy and powerful, there are many members in the family. Even for Bian Shichun, the eldest son, it is impossible for him to earn more than one hundred taels of silver every day, let alone one hundred taels, he cannot even earn ten taels of silver.
