Chapter 673

Shi Qing used to be an honest man, but he was honest because he had never seen the world before. Now that he has money and sees the colorful world outside, his vision and ideas are different. In this way, he and Wu Liang are brothers in need.

On that day, they went to pick up a business that Mr. Jin had already talked about. When they met the person they were talking with, the man looked them up and down and said, "are you Mr. Jin's people? It's just two young people. Is it reliable? "

Wu Liang and Shi Qing looked at each other for a while. Wu Liang said with a smile, "if it's not reliable, the third brother won't let us come. You don't know us. Don't you know the third brother?"

The man thought about it, nodded and said, "that's what I've said. I believe in Mr. Jin. You two should be more careful. Don't let the wind out. It's no joke if you leak a little bit."

They want to wrap the refined iron in a thick layer of cotton. If someone looks at it, they say they are in the cotton business. Jin Laosan has already said hello and won't check it too carefully. They just pull the car to go. When they get to the place where they want to deliver the goods, naturally someone will come and give them the money and then take the goods away.

After Wu Liang and Shi Qing picked up the goods, they didn't dare to delay, so they went to the place where they agreed to inspect the goods. It was a small village outside the city, deserted and uninhabited. It was the most suitable place to do this kind of shady business. They both thought that the plan was very good and there would be no mistakes.

On the way to the small village, we had to pass through a gate tower to check the goods passing by. The two men walked to the gate tower and stopped. The city keeper looked at them and asked, "what's in the carriage?"

"Huiguanye, there are boxes of cotton inside. They have to be transported outside the city and sold to the people in the village. There is nothing else of value."

The man lifted the curtain of the carriage and ordered people to take out the boxes inside. Wu Liang and Shi Qing began to be a little flustered. They still tried to be calm, hoping that they would not be found.

The officer ordered them to open the box and touch the cotton inside. Suddenly he smelled something. When he got close, he laughed and said to the other city keepers, "brother, I've got something good today."

As he said this, he pulled out his sword and thrust it into the cotton. There was a clank of the sword and the iron. Wu Liang and Shi Qing were too scared to speak. Dou Da's sweat fell down.

"Now I see what you have to say." He ordered people to pull the cotton away, revealing the black iron inside: "I've seen many patterns, and I'll open my eyes for you today."

At this time, an official came to see the people and things stopped, and immediately looked silly: "this, this is..."

"This is iron, man. These two men are peddlers of iron. What are you waiting for? Why don't you arrest me?"

Wu Liang saw that the official who had just come here was the one they had bribed before. He only hated how he had not seen clearly just now. He ran to the hands of an unknown official and was seen through.

The official who was bribed by Wu Liang can't say anything at this time, otherwise he will be taken in. Now, Wu Liang and Shi Qing can only admit their bad luck.

The officials sent the iron block to the yamen, and put Shi Qing and Wu Liang in prison, waiting for the county master's interrogation. Shi Qing and Wu Liang were sitting in the prison, speechless and silent. They all hated how they were so unlucky that they were found so easily.

After a long time, Shi Qingcai sighed: "our brother's life is really bad. He was stopped for the first time. I don't know if he has a chance to get out of this prison."

It's just a pity that Wu Liang has a rare chance to earn a lot of money, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to get out in the future. He comforted Shi Qing: "don't worry, elder brother and third brother have so many connections. What's to be afraid of? They shut us down for a few days at most, and then they let us out. What good officials are you? It's easy to buy them

But will Jin Laosan and Yu Laoda really spend this money to get them out? Shi Qing is not so determined as Wu Liang. He feels that as long as he stays in this prison for one day, he can't be completely at ease.

Wu Liang didn't think as much as Shi Qing. When he was in prison, he should eat and sleep. He didn't seem to worry about what would happen. He also advised Shi Qing to relax his mind and go out naturally at a certain time.

Shi Qing looks forward to it, and finally brings Jin Laosan to it. When he sees someone coming, he grabs the railing and asks, "third brother, are you here to help us out?"

Jin Laosan looked at them, then lowered his head and sighed: "this time, I can't do what I want."

Wu Liang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He also rushed up and asked Jin Laosan, "third brother, what's the matter with you?"

"You don't know, I went with boss Yu to bribe the county master to let him release you earlier. But the county master just took office and didn't like us at all. We are common people and have no right to order to be officials, but we have put out a lot of money. Who can think that the county master is also a rich family and doesn't like our money at all, Boss Yu and I really want to save you, but... "

Now without him saying that, Wu Liang and Shi Qing also know what they mean. Do they want to stay in prison for a lifetime and never get out, or worse, they will be exiled and beheaded?

Seeing that both of them stopped talking, Mr. Jin comforted him and said, "don't be too discouraged. Maybe there will be a new turn for the better. Why don't you turn yourself in to the county magistrate and give up Mr. Li, the iron seller. Maybe you can relieve some of the punishment."

This is a good idea, but Shi Qing hesitated: "is it really good to give Lao Li up like this? After all, Lao Li is the head of such a big iron factory. It's certainly not easy. What if we go out later and get revenge? "

Jin Laosan hated the iron and said: "Oh, when is it? You are still in charge of going out. As long as you can go out now, I'm lucky. What I fear most is that you can't even go out of this prison. If you're afraid of being retaliated, you'll fly away and go to a place where he can't find you. I don't believe that Lao Li can still chase you to the ends of the earth?"

Now it seems that this is even the best way. Wu Liang nodded and said, "the third brother is right. If we can go out and have our legs on us, it will not be a problem. What is he going to do?"

"But it's really bad luck for you. I'm telling you that if you bribe the officials of the city tower, it's OK? Are you reluctant to spend money? "
