Chapter 341: 341 white-clothed people Chapter 341: 341 white-clothed people Lu, the Chief Escort Head, looked in disbelief at the two men who had joined Dongzi’s side.
Dongzi’s decision to rob the goods was disappointing, but after all, he had left the Escort Agency for many years, and some changes were inevitable.
However, these two men had always stayed within the Escort Agency!
Under the heavy gaze of Lu, the Chief Escort Head, one of them suddenly spoke up, “Chief Escort Head, don’t blame us, Brother Dongzi is right, just this one time and we will have enough, brothers won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. And besides, we don’t want to spend our lives carrying goods at the docks.”
Shame was evident on his face, but he still could not resist the temptation of money.
Upon hearing this, Erniu, who was behind Lu, the Chief Escort Head, couldn’t stand it anymore, “What’s wrong with carrying goods at the docks? Earning money for food by our own strength at the docks is steady, and the food tastes sweet. If you plan to get rich by robbing others, even if you eat and drink luxuriously every day, will you be able to live with yourselves? Aren’t you afraid of retribution later?”
Many people on Dongzi’s side showed expressions of shame on their faces.
But Dongzi just sneered, “I don’t know about retribution in the future, but I do know that with these Silvers, brothers no longer have to worry about their daily meals, or fret about not having enough to get married and carry on the family line, much less worry about not having money for treatment when a loved one falls ill!”
“Right!” echoed the men behind Dongzi, “Brother Dongzi is right, there are at least tens of thousands of taels of Silver on that girl, as long as we grab that Silver, along with the cargo behind us, it’s enough for us brothers to live without worries for several generations.”
Lu, the Chief Escort Head, wanted to continue arguing, but at Dongzi’s command, the people behind him began to stir restlessly, “Brothers, no more nonsense with them, let’s first grab the silver notes off of them, and then…” Dongzi looked maliciously at Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng, “then we’ll settle these two on the spot!”
“Yes!” someone responded from behind Dongzi.
As a result, Lu, the Chief Escort Head, stood in front of Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng, “Today, whoever dares to make a move will have to step over my dead body.”
Determined, Dongzi commanded, “Do it, tie up the Chief Escort Head first.”
Lu, the Chief Escort Head, was skilled in martial arts, and Dongzi was definitely no less competent–the two quickly became entangled in a fight, with their respective followers joining the fray.
Ye Jiu quickly pulled Ye Wenzheng behind a tree, and together they consumed the antidote. As a pill was crushed in their hands, the fighting crowd fell to the ground with thuds, like dumplings dropping into water.
Ye Jiu stepped out from behind the tree with a satisfied expression on his face.
The item given by La Sike was indeed effective; although it had been used many times, each use brought her immense satisfaction!
Suddenly, a pained cry came from behind, startling Ye Jiu who immediately turned around.
But she saw that a person in white had fallen from a tree, landing right on top of Ye Wenzheng.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but feel relieved, thankful she had just walked out from behind the tree; otherwise, she might now be sharing the same fate as Ye Wenzheng.
Walking over, she helped Ye Wenzheng by removing the person on top of him and then helping him up, asking, “How are you? Not crushed, right?”
“I can’t, my head is so painful, let me rest a moment!” Ye Wenzheng covered his head, almost shedding tears from the pain.
Dammit, the person had fallen right on top of his head. After hitting him and knocking him down, the body spread across him, leaving him seeing stars and feeling weak all over.
