Chapter 232 - so-called acquaintances (2)
There seemed to be fewer people on both sides of the road than four years ago.
When Qiu Jinzhi first came here four years ago, both sides were filled with people, and they had all sorts of postures. The better ones had straw mats, while the worse ones only had a few people huddled together to sleep.
At that time, Qiu Jinzhi bought a row of houses for the homeless people to sleep in. However, he later realized that there were more and more homeless people gathered in that row of houses, waiting for the porridge to be cooked every day.
More and more people came out, and the quantity of porridge was completely insufficient.
More and more people gave Qiu Jinzhi a headache. Later, they would simply say that the kind-hearted outsider had died of illness.
He still remembered the day the "kind-hearted member of the staff" passed away.
Qiu Jinzhi even specially came to the slums to the east of the city.
The number of people lessened by more than half.
"One of the patrolling soldiers who happened to pass by couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "He's finally gone!"
Qiu Jinzhi turned around and saw the young soldier asking, "How come you look so relaxed?"
The soldier looked at Qiu Jinzhi's pretty good clothes. He didn't look like a poor civilian either, and his aura made it difficult for others to look away.
"What else can we do? Ever since the great benefactor appeared, there have been more and more refugees in the east side of the city. They are all staying here and not producing any food, just waiting for the two meals a day. The ones who really got their hands on food are those who have healthy limbs, the elderly, the weak, and the handicapped. They can't even win against those lazy lackeys who are still stealthily stealing chickens and dogs in the city all day long. The soldier explained.
He felt a lot more gratified looking at the street which was much more refreshing.
Qiu Jinzhi: "Even so, we can't just kill them with a bat. Those homeless people also didn't have any job to do. Otherwise, how could they become homeless people?"
Soldier replied: "Even if that's the case I don't see many workers at the dock who go to work every day."
"We won't starve them to death." The soldier said. The more work there was, the more reluctant they were to do it themselves.
"Something quickly popped up in Qiu Jinzhi's mind. "So that's how it is."
"Brother, do you want me to show you the way for the officials to make a fortune?" autumn brocade
"The soldier looked at the refreshing street and was in a good mood." I am all ears! "
"In the future, I will definitely become your benefactor." Qiu Jinzhi laughed.
"Our White Escort Office just happens to be lacking people. We need a lot of manpower, and we also need to expand the scale of our business."
"The soldier's eyes lit up when he heard that." You can't be from Bai Family... Second Young Master? "
"I'll introduce you to my adults."
Qiu Jinzhi patted his shoulder again, "Level one recommendation, there will always be a lot of twists and turns, are there any shortcuts?"
Hearing that, the soldier immediately understood the meaning of Qiu Jinzhi's words.
"Yes, yes!"
As long as the money was in place, there was nothing that could not be solved.
From that moment on, the Qiu Family's Escort Office expanded its territory and slowly started to nibble at the supplies of the surrounding Country. They used the fastest horses and the most site.
He accumulated less and made enough money. Official business cooperation, mutual benefit.
Now, four or five years later, Qiu Jinzhi once again stood at the east side of the city. He had tried to say that he was here, but … There were always those who were useless, the old and the weak and the handicapped were not part of his responsibility. There were still many poor people living in that row of houses. Every day, there would be someone else to deal with the bodies of the sick and dying.
This place was just like the other side of the bustling west capital.
As he was standing on the street, he suddenly heard someone shout: "Zhao Er is dead! Hurry up and leave him! "
Hearing the voice, Qiu Jinzhi walked over step by step, and saw a man covered in blood. Although he was wearing coarse hemp clothes, Qiu Jinzhi could see a satin cloth at the corner of his clothes.
Although there was a lot of blood on his body, there was no cut on the surface of his clothes.
Curiosity spurred Qiu Jinzhi to take a closer look.
It was fine to not see it, but upon seeing it, he was shocked.
"It's you!" When Qiu Jinzhi wobbled, he was really dead.
Qiu Jinzhi had seen this person before.
He had brought a dagger with him to have a look at this before, but now he had actually died here.
"What …" "Will he die?" All the people involved were dead.
"How did he die?" Qiu Jinzhi asked. Isn't it all over? Isn't it time to end it? "
Princess Rui was dead, so Qiu Jinzhi thought of what Bai Ze had told him.
"Lord Third …"
"This is a long story." Could it be … None... "Die?" Qiu Jinzhi muttered in his heart.
In the end, the idea grew larger and larger in his mind. He only needed a little bit of evidence to make it official.
The calm and tranquil Qiu Jinzhi looked at the people around him became even more nervous and fearful, but his expression never changed. He reached for his breath and felt his pulse. This person was truly dead. Dead.
In the same place, they were all wrapped in a circle of straw. In this place, the only difference was that the sun was about to set, and it was still early in the morning when the arachnoid was discovered.
It was like the cycle of fate, but also like a curse that had yet to end. How many people would have to be killed to stop these crimes?
From the very beginning, all of this had nothing to do with Qiu Jinzhi, and he himself had never taken responsibility for any of it.
Returning back to official residence, Qiu Jinzhi looked up and saw that there were no candles in the room next door. He took over a dozen candles from the house and jumped over the wall to the next room, then stood in the courtyard obediently.
