It would be unjust to say that they didn't spend money: "we have found a good person and said all kinds of greetings, but who knows that when we arrived at the gate of the city, the official changed his person. It's really a miscalculation."
"It's no use saying anything now. You should make a confession in the lobby and push your responsibility to Lao Li as much as you can. After all, other people are there. When the county magistrate sends someone to catch it, naturally everything will be understood. Then your responsibility will be much smaller. I can't tell you more. I have to give you more information outside."
Shi Qing and Wu Liang look at Jin Laosan gratefully. They really recognize their elder brother. When they are in the most difficult time, they are lucky to have someone to help them.
What they don't know is that when they get out of the prison, Jin Laosan is not the one they think. Outside the prison, Yu Laosan is waiting for him. As soon as he comes out, he asks, "what's the matter? Do they believe it?"
Jin Laosan snorted confidently: "it's just two Mao children, or we taught them by ourselves. I don't know what they look like. Naturally, it's what I say and what they believe. As soon as they give Lao Li up, we can take his iron factory at one stroke. At that time, our brothers will make a lot of money."
Yu, who had been serious all the time, also showed a smile: "these two idiots, who were not raised in vain, brought us a lot of benefits. When they came to the head, they also helped us so much. On the day of their execution, I have to see for myself. It's not in vain for us to get to know each other."
"If I didn't fall in love with Lao Li's cornucopia, I would not like to use these two silly boys. I don't know if I can meet such a cheat and useful person in the future. But it's also our fate. If we do our best, we don't have to think much about it."
Jin Laosan sighed and looked at the door of the prison. Thinking about how much money he could earn in the future, he couldn't help laughing.
Jin Laosan looked at Yu with admiration: "boss, you're too clever. Step by step, you've locked them up. But if they don't listen to us and say something else in court, will it be bad for us?"
"That's why I let you go today. When they think they are hopeless, they should show up in time and give them some hope. Not only will they not doubt that we have done harm to them, but they will also be grateful and remember our kindness. When they go to court, they will certainly follow our orders and will not give us up."
Since boss Yu has said that, Jin Laosan believes it. In his opinion, boss Yu is a smart and resourceful man. Since he has said that, he must be right.
Yu boss suddenly thought of a thing, asked: "you find that officer rely on not reliable, will not expose the matter."
"Don't worry, brother. I've bought that man for a long time. We've known each other for many years, and we won't be exposed. Moreover, he does everything without leaking. He won't fall behind."
As soon as they got to know that the people they were looking for were reliable and would not give them up, they were relieved. In fact, when Wuliang bribed an official who was guarding the city, Jin Laosan had already bribed the other in advance. After all, Wuliang and Shi Qing had little experience in the world. How could they think that the two eldest brothers who brought them out were the people who designed to frame them?
Qian Li, the official who was bribed by Wu Liang, thinks that he is sorry for Wu Liang and Shi Qing. After all, he took the money from others and didn't do anything good for them. What should he do if they have any way to deal with him in the future.
This kind of official who guards the city gate knows that it's not easy for anyone to sell iron. He must be someone with strength and background. Otherwise, he won't take risks and find the source of goods. He thinks and thinks that he can't let them think it's their fault, so he decides to go to the prison and explain to them.
They were all the Yamen's colleagues. After a few words with the guard, Qian Li was naturally released. According to their guidance, Qian Li found Wu Liang and Shi Qing in a dark prison.
At this time, they already have the backbone. Even Shi Qing, who was very worried, is now relaxed. Since they can't get out, they don't have to worry about being punished, so they have a rest here.
So as soon as Qian Li came in, he saw two people lying leisurely. Seeing this posture, Qian Li was even more flustered. It was not clear that they had backgrounds and backstage, so they were not afraid of anything.
He walked to their cell door with a smile and cried, "brother Wu, brother Shi, I've come to see you."
Wu Liang and Shi Qing both looked up to see him. Seeing that Qian Li was coming, Wu Liang sneered and said, "Hey, isn't this brother Qian Li? We can't find him when we are looking for you. Why are we here at this time?"
Qian Li said with a smile: "of course, I'm here to see you. I'm sorry that I didn't do what I should do for my brothers. If you need anything, I'll help you as much as I can, but don't hate me."
"Then you say, why did you say it well? When we arrived at the gate, you were not there. Were you greedy for life and afraid of death, regretted temporarily, and then deliberately avoided us?"
Qian Li didn't dare to be angry in the face of the aggressive words. He anxiously explained: "brother, listen to me, how dare I accept your money and don't do anything? It's just that I was very good that day and suddenly began to have diarrhea. When I came back from the toilet, you have been found, and I was scared at that time."
Wu Liang believed him because he didn't look like a hypocrite, but he was still a little bit upset. He couldn't help complaining: "now our brothers have become like this. It's useless for you to say anything. If you feel sorry for us, just walk around for us and don't make us too uncomfortable in this prison."
Qian Li nodded: "this is nature, this is nature. As long as my brother can do it for you, I will try my best to do it. You can rest assured that the jailer here has my good friend. He won't let you suffer any loss, but..." Qian Li hesitated for a moment: "I don't dare to guarantee the future."
Wu Liang also knew that he was just a small official and had little power. For prisoners like them, he couldn't intervene. Shi Qing sighed: "if it wasn't the person we met that day, maybe we would have passed. We knew earlier, we might as well bribe more officials."
"Brother, you don't know something." Qian Li told him: "among the watchmen of the city tower, this man is the most selfless. As long as he's on the guard, he can be found out for any dirty things, and this man is also the worst one to buy. That day, I figured out that he was not bad, and I don't know why. When he suddenly changed shifts with other people, it just happened that you two met."
