Changle County is very busy.
When the ten-dollar reward for the thief was first announced, many people in the county were really excited.
In the past, there must have been people who carried swords, guns and clubs, packed their bags with dry food, and went out to look for those thieves.
It's just that today is different from the past.
In the past two years, all the hard-working young people in the county have to do business.
Those who do business do business, those who work in workshops work in workshops, and those who farm land.
There used to be several small and medium-sized gangs in and around Changle County, but now most of them have been disbanded.
The one or two that are still alive have lost their main force.
There are only a few soldiers and generals left, which is not a big deal.
If those thieves were not discerning and came to Changle County, they would just catch them and treat them as nothing.
It would be too dangerous to ask the people of Changle to go out to look for these thieves, especially in a place like Bai Zhang Shou Zhu.
Besides, everyone has to work every day, and there is no time.
Don't let the thieves be gone by then.
If you catch him, your job will be ruined.
I heard that in Dunhuang and Jinchang, several gangs have rushed to the hundreds of tents to arrest them in the past few days.
After all, Dunhuang and Jinchang are a large place with a large population and many various gangs.
It is difficult for people in this era to survive, and it is not easy for these gangs.
Those wealthy and wealthy gentry from well-off families have tribes at home, and not everyone can move them if they want.
Caravans are also not easy to mess with.
Those who dare to go out to do business these days are not soft persimmons.
Many caravans are outnumbered and powerful, and a fight is even more dangerous.
The remaining ordinary people are so poor that they can't even support themselves, and naturally they have little money.
Besides, not all of these gangs will attack the poor people.
"Yang Laosi and those cowards are used to using dirty tricks to earn ill-gotten gains.
They deserve to fall into the hands of Naluo Coffin Board this time."
That night, a group of more than ten young men went out of the Hehe garrison overnight.
They couldn't get to Baizhang to guard the capture that night, so they rented a felt shed with an outsider at the market next to Daze.
I lit a fire outside the shed and planned to cook some hot soup and eat it with the dry food I brought.
"Then Boss Liu is really so kind.
He actually asked us to get a share of the pie," a man said in a low voice while sitting beside the fire.
"Why are you talking about this again?"
said the man who was lighting the fire impatiently.
"Didn't Bai Qiyi make it clear to you earlier?
The hundred tent guards caught the dragons and snakes mingling over there.
Boss Liu and the others must have been a little overwhelmed, so they called a few of us over to make up for the loss."
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
"I made it clear before I left, why are you talking about it again now?"
"If you are afraid, just go back and we can go alone."
"I just think this trip is a bit dangerous."
"You don't think anyone knows.
If it wasn't dangerous, why would you point to that copper coin falling from the sky?"
"After earning this amount, we will have capital."
"Whether I go into business or work in a workshop in Changle County, my family will always be hungry."
"Don't think about useless things.
Eat a few mouthfuls and go to bed.

We have to go on the road tomorrow morning." "" They are from Dunhuang.
They are about the same age and have known each other since childhood.
Because they were born in poverty, they have to start thinking about ways to make money to support themselves and their families at a very young age.
In order to survive, they have also done some not-so-good jobs. matter.
Boss Liu was the leader of a big gang in Dunhuang.
He wanted to get them to join the gang early on, but they held on and refused to join, because once they became their people, they often couldn't help themselves.
If something big happens in the future, not to mention your own life, the whole family will have to be buried with them.
The laws of this era are like this, and they will be buried together at every turn.
They have had some interactions with Boss Liu over the years, mainly to help with some less dirty work when Boss Liu and others are too busy, and get some benefits.
They originally didn't want to participate in this matter.
Those twenty or so people had more than 200 yuan.
The people there were poorer and more ruthless than the Dunhuang people, and they had more powerful forces, big and small.
Many, they only have these few shrimps, don't make any money by then, but end up paying for their lives.
Unexpectedly, last night, one of Boss Liu's subordinates suddenly came to see him.
He said that Boss Liu and others were at Bai Zhang Shou Zhuo, and there was a shortage of manpower.
He asked them to go over and make up the number.
When the time comes, he would get some rewards and share them with them.
The eldest son of their group, Bai Qi, has a young nephew who is frail and sick.
He has been going back and forth for several years, spending a lot of money and owing some debts.
When he heard about this, he said he would come, and several other brothers followed him.
In the current situation, everyone has some idea in their minds.
There is no deep hatred between gangs.
It is not easy for all gangs to go out to fight to the death.
It is usually one or two people from each side to compete.
Boss Liu has been developing in Dunhuang for many years and has become quite powerful.
He has a lot of people under him who can fight, but he is also afraid of those who would kill him if they were caught in a hundred tents.
This time, he must be jealous of his subordinates, fearing that they will be trapped in it.
That's why I thought of Bai Qi and his party.
I expected that there must be a life-and-death fight waiting for them over there at Baizhang Shouchuo.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Boss Liu didn't want his brothers who had always been loyal to him to fight with others, so he thought of Bai Qi, who also wanted money rather than life, and was quite good at fighting.
The bones are hard.
If it hadn't been for Bai Qi's support over the years, those people under him would have become his boss Liu's subordinates.
This time he would let Bai Qi fight with others.
If he won, it would be fine.
If he lost, he would just take this opportunity to annex their small gang.
When Bai Qi and others arrived at Bai Zhang at noon the next day to guard the capture, all Yang Laosi and his party on the reward list had been captured.
There were twenty-seven people in the party, no more and no less.
Boss Liu relied on his large manpower and was willing to spend money to buy information from the locals.
As an outside force, he actually robbed fourteen thieves, which was one hundred and forty copper coins, which was enough to support their gang for a long time.
It's time.
With so many people being robbed by these outsiders, the local forces who were guarding the area with hundreds of tents would definitely not agree, so they surrounded the people and refused to let them go.
There were also some people who proposed a fight, but Boss Liu had been holding off.
Now seeing Bai Qi coming, he didn't hesitate to send someone out to send a message, saying that they would accept the challenge.
Speaking of which, the level is different, and the posture is naturally different.

At this moment, Baizhang Shouchuo is like a dragon in a tiger's den for little shrimps like Bai Qi.
But for people like Boss Liu, it's actually not that dangerous.
They just come here to grab money.
Relying on their large numbers, they can grab as much as they can without having to fight to the death.
Those people who were guarding the tents stopped them from leaving, saying that they were going to fight, so let's fight.
He was the first one to push Bai Qi out.
Two days later, these people went to Changle County to collect the bounty.
After they entered the city, a team of officers followed them along the road to guard them.
When they arrived in front of the county government office, there were already officials in the government office to greet them.
Not long after, Qiao Junlin and a group of students from the academy also arrived.
As well as the several workshops in the county, Luo Yong's disciples, as well as many employees in the workshops, also rushed over to the county government.
Except for some people in the city who were watching the excitement, most people were very wary of the arrival of this group of people.
The officials did not let these people enter the county government office.
They identified the thieves on the street in front of the county government office, and then loads of copper coins were carried out of the county government office.
The medium-sized willow basket was covered with red silk cloth.
When the red silk cloth was lifted, there were ten copper coins neatly stacked underneath.
Handing the money with one hand and the person with the other, everyone saw the piles of copper coins being carried out of the yamen, and the thieves were put in shackles and taken to the county jail.
In the end, all twenty-seven thieves, including the previous five, totaled thirty-two, were arrested.
For a while, there were probably no more thieves who dared to extend their claws to their territory in Changle County.
"You risk your life to earn this kind of money, but it's not as much as those workers who build bridges."
Bai Qi and others had already received money from Boss Liu at this time, so they found a restaurant in Changle County to have a drink.
They were lucky this time.
Among the dozen or so people, Bai Qi was the only one who went out to meet others.
There was a duel, and he won without any serious injuries.
That's why they were in the mood to sit here and have a drink.
As they said this, they felt relieved in their hearts.
"It's enough to last for a while."
Bai Qi smiled and patted the bundle in his arms.
After fighting for their lives, Boss Liu gave them three ounces of money, while Bai Qi took one guan himself, and the rest was divided among the brothers.
With this money back, he can not only pay off his debts, but also buy a lot of food for his family.
This winter he will be financially secure.
It was also his good luck.
This time he met someone who cherished his life.
During the fight, he clearly felt that the other party did not want to fight for his life, so neither party made a fatal move.
Times have changed, and today's Baizhang Shouchuo is somewhat different from the past.
"Winter is coming soon, Bai Qi, what are your plans?"
someone asked Bai Qi.
"After I send the money back, I will buy some firewood and rice to keep at home.
After the settlement is completed, I will come here to find a workshop to work."
Bai Qi picked up the wine cup and took a sip of the turbid wine.
Bai Qi wants to enter the workshop Everyone was surprised.
"Why, everyone else can enter the workshop, but I can't."
Bai Qi had actually wanted to enter the workshop for a long time, but the burden on his family was too heavy.
He was the seventh eldest in the family, with five brothers and one sister.
Logically speaking, the burden of supporting the family should not fall on his shoulders, but his fate was not good.

Several of his brothers died very badly, and her sister was also an honest person.
She did not live well after getting married.
Not to mention helping the family, Bai Qi had to stand up for her from time to time and help out.
Although his family still owes several hundred yuan in debt, compared with the past, life is actually pretty good.
The main reason is that Bai Qi is now older and can take on the important task of supporting the family.
At the beginning of this spring, he sent his eldest niece to work in Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop.
Now she is well fed and clothed there, and she can also earn wages for the family.
There is nothing to worry about at home.
Although Ye Niang is old, she still has two sisters-in-law who can take care of the whole family.
She also has a disabled brother who is missing a leg, but he is still a man.
With him at home, Bai Qi feels better. rest assured.
This time, I was able to hold all this money in my arms, which was considered a blessing from God.
I also shared some money with each of my brothers.
Although it was not much, it could be regarded as the fulfillment of the friendship over the years.
Bai Qi planned to go to the workshop to work in a few days.
It would be best to learn some skills.
In fact, what he wanted to do the most was the work of repairing bridges and learn the skills of repairing bridges.
It was a pity that he didn't rush last time.
I don’t know when the next time will be.
Today's meal is their break-up meal.
Thinking back on these years of friendship, these years of sharing life and death, the hardships we have endured, and the risks we have taken, the Zhengzheng man can't help but shed tears.
During the dinner, I couldn't help but pay respect to those brothers who died early.
In the early years, when life was the most difficult, Bai Qi told them that if they give it a try, they might still be alive, but if they don't, they will die.
In the blink of an eye, these years have passed, and Bai Qi, who was the most ruthless and desperate at that time, has also given up.
In his opinion, there is no need to fight for his life anymore.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon that day, Bai Qi, carrying a big baggage and a few brothers who were still willing to follow him, took a wooden carriage to Changle County, planning to find a workshop in the county to work.
But before they could find a workshop, they heard that several of Luo Yong's disciples were recruiting workers in the city for the past two days.
They said they were going to Yiwu to find some kind of soil.
They said that kind of soil could only be found in the mining area.
"Geometry of Labor Price" Although they wanted to enter the workshop, Bai Qi and others were still used to being wild.
Compared to the depressing workshop, they still preferred to go outside.
When they heard about this, several people were a little moved.
"Normally, it's three hundred coins per person per month.
If you want to enter the mines under the mountain, the price will increase."
Some people who knew the details told them.
Going into the mines under the mountain is already relatively dangerous for ordinary people in Changle County.
They are living a good life now.
Whether they want to take this risk or not, they really need to think carefully.
Bai Qi and the others didn't hesitate at all.
The wages were much higher than working in a workshop.
They were not afraid of traveling far away or going into the mountains.
As for going down to the mine, Luo Yong's disciples were recruited to build the bridge last time.
It was dangerous.
No one died in the end.

Not to mention whether someone would die this time, it was at least certain that they still valued human life.
What were they afraid of?
Just go.
Several people looked at each other and hurriedly went to the workshop recruiting people, fearing that one of them would be late and miss him again this time.
As for the dirt they said they were looking for, it doesn't matter, just go and someone will teach you when the time comes.
In fact, what Luo Yong and the others are looking for this time is no matter where the soil is.
What they are really looking for is thorium. gd1806102:
