Chapter 288 After the swordsman is moved

Under the dim candlelight, Xu Tong sat blankly, and the Jinyiwei asked him to bite and accused Shenmuwei. This was something he had guessed long ago.

Just when Xu Tong was thinking about being out of the divine situation, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cleaned cell. He looked up and saw Gao Jin, who wished he could swallow his flesh and blood.

"Xu Qianhu, why bother looking at me like this?"

Asked the guard to open the prison door, Gao Jin walked in and said to Xu Tong, who was like a stray dog.

"Gao Jin, are you here to kill me?"

Xu Tong knew that he was not dead at the beginning, so Gao Jin wanted to take him to Shenmu Fort to cut him into pieces, but now that the Jinyiwei has come, he has to hand him over. For this subordinate who never follows the rules, he is not sure what he will do.

"The Jinyiwei is useful to keep you. I don't want to offend the Jinyiwei, let alone Xu Qianhu, because you have committed a serious crime of treason, you may not be able to escape the punishment."

Gao Jin said expressionlessly that after seeing the tragic images of the villages burned and massacred by Xu Tong's soldiers, he and his men wished that they could cut Xu Tong into pieces in Shenmu Fort and ask all the people to eat their flesh, but now they have to make a bargain for Xu Tong to live longer.

"Then what are you doing?"

Xu Tong looked at the cold expression on Gao Jin's face and felt a bad premonition.

"Part 16, Deputy Qianhu, sent someone to send me a letter. After searching through the Qianhu office, I didn't find much property. Even Xu Qianhu's old house is the same."

"Gao Jin, I didn't expect you to be a greedy person and want money..."

Xu Tong laughed, but just as he laughed, Gao Jin's next words made him unable to laugh again, "Xu Qianhu, Jinyiwei said that he would leave some incense for your Xu family, but I didn't agree!"

"Gao Jin...you!"

Xu Tong knew that he would die, so leaving some blood to the Xu family to continue the incense was his last thought, but Gao Jin threatened him with this matter, and he had no room for bargaining.

It was like a wild beast forced into a desperate situation. Xu Tong had red eyes and stared at Gao Jin. After a long time, he said dejectedly, "You want money, I'll give it to you, but you want to protect my Xu family incense..."

"Xu Qianhu, I, Gao Jin, keep my word. I will leave a male member for your Xu family to inherit the incense and ensure his peace in this life."

Xu Tong didn't force Gao Jin to make any poisonous oath. People like him knew best. If Gao Jin was unreliable, no poisonous oath would work.

After knowing where Xu Tong was hiding gold and silver, Gao Jin didn't say much, but just looked at Xu Tong, "Don't worry, I, Gao Jin, will do my best, and I don't want to fool you."

...

After leaving the cell, Lu Wenzhao looked at Gao Jin and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Gao Baihu is indeed a good method and generous enough!"

"It's just that Gaobaihu, is it worth it?"

Lu Wenzhao still smiled, but the expression on his face was not very natural. He never expected that Gao Jin would bribe them for those refugees.

"That's three thousand lives."

On the Motian Ridge, nearly a thousand refugees died after being bewitched. Except for half of them, they died under the swords and guns of officers and soldiers, the rest were trampled on each other and died. In Gao Jin's eyes, these refugees were all pitiful people. They lost their land and had no hope of survival, so they could only escape into the mountains and become savages.

Wu Gai gathered these refugees, although he did not have a good intention, he gave them a way out and could survive.

Gao Jin knew what was going on in his great achievements in quelling the rebellion. Others could treat these refugees as successful labor and did not care about their lives, but he could not do it. What's more, in his opinion, talent is the most precious wealth in the world. If he saves these three thousand refugees, he will not lack labor, and the textile workshops in Gubeizhai will not lack female workers.

However, in order to save these refugees, in addition to food, Lu Wenzhao and others also need to help cover up the situation. Otherwise, if Lu Wenzhao reported it in reality, these three thousand refugees would become the remnants of the White Lotus Sect as the court officials, and I don’t know how many people will survive.

"Three thousand lives!"

Lu Wenzhao started to talk to himself. After being an Jinyiwei for so long, he had seen a martial artist like Gao Jin again. If the scholar who was well-read about poetry and books said this to him, he would not be surprised, but what he had seen and heard over the years, the more those gentlemen who read the books of sages and wise men and morals did not take the people seriously.

"Gaobaihu, do you think you are the only one who cares about the people?"

Lu Wenzhao suddenly looked up and looked at Gao Jin. The smile on his face that he had been used to disappeared. After saying this in a loud voice, the Jinyiwei Baihu turned around and left.

Gao Jin didn't expect that Lu Wenzhao would have such a side, but he didn't ask him to keep him. Since Lu Wenzhao was willing to help, it was the best, but the money he should give was still to be given. Lu Wenzhao could not get the money, but the Jinyiwei under his command may not be.

"Second brother."

Chen Sheng appeared from the darkness not far away. He knew what his second brother was doing, and even knew that his second brother had made a deal with Xu Tong's old dog.

However, Chen Sheng could understand his second brother's approach. The second brother always said that population is wealth, and there is no sufficient population as the cornerstone. Whether it is Hekou Fort or Gubei Village, no matter how rich he is in the future, he will only be a wedding dress for others.

"A Sheng, you went to Shenmu Castle in person and took the things."

Gao Jin whispered to Chen Sheng that the place where Xu Tong hid his wealth, and the Xu family was also a local snake in Shenmu Fort. Since Xu Tong's grandfather's generation became prosperous, he saved a lot of gold and silver, and even more so when he arrived at Xu Tong's hands. Don't look at the large amount of land that Xu Tong had acquired, but he was crushed to death. The price was not consumed at all.

These days, the large households in northern Shaanxi have the bad habit of storing gold and silver. Although they plunder and accumulate wealth, compared with the wealthy merchants and wealthy people in the south who are used to enjoy, their daily expenses have nothing to do with luxury, and even they can be said to be wasted.

It is as if it is simply accumulating wealth to accumulate. In Gao Jin's view, gold and silver must flow to be wealth, otherwise it will be just useless things hidden underground.

...

There was already a tide in Shenmu County. The news of Xu Tong's rebellion was not a secret, and the Shenmu Guard was even more in chaos. From the commander-in-chief to the Hundred Houses, no one could understand what was going on.

At first, it was just Xu Tong who reported that it was Gao Gao of Hekou Fort who invaded the Shang Dynasty, but in the end it turned into colluding with the White Lotus bandits to rebel.

However, when Xu Tong reported that he had already led the troops from Shenmu Fort to quell the rebellion. Although Gao Jin was quite famous, the battle in Gubei Village cost the face of several generals in Luotuo City. In the end, Gao Jin's martial arts were hyped up to the sky and then passed to Shenmu County, it was exaggerated to the point where no one believed it.

The Shenmu Guards only thought that the eldest son of the General's Office wanted to promote the hundreds of households in the countryside, but they didn't take it seriously. So Xu Tong said that he led the troops to quell the rebellion, so the guards did not take it seriously.

But who expected that after only a few days of kung fu, Liu Xun, the deputy thousand-household in Shenmu Fort, he reported that the White Lotus Sect bandits were trying to rebel, but Xu Tong, the Thousandhouseholds, and Shan Ying, the Thousandhouseholds, took the initiative to take the lead. It would have been fine if it was just like this, but his mother Camel City suddenly came to nearly a thousand troops stationed outside Shenmu County, which was called the Shenmu Guard terror.

...

Du Hongyu came to Shenmu County in person, and he was also the direct troops of the General Office. Gao Jin had done such a big situation and didn't come to help the platform, so how could he continue to sing this drama? What's more, the people from the Jinyiwei came, so he had to be careful of these hawks who like to make false accusations and handle cases the most.

Looking at Shenmu County not far away, Du Hongyu, who was standing in the camp, sneered. The old man from Wei was also confused. After such a big thing, he came to him to plead for mercy and huddled in the Shenmu Guard. He really thought that his commander was not defeated.

"Young Master, Gao Baihu is here."

Du Tieniu, who had arrived from the former camp, walked to his master and whispered that Gao Jin was coming in casual clothes, with only a few people accompanying him.

"Where are people?"

Du Hongyu looked back at Du Tieniu, frowned slightly, but he didn't see Gao Jin. Then he realized that he valued Gao Jin too much, which may have caused these subordinates to be jealous.

"Young Master, Gao Baihu is waiting for the Central Army Commander's Office."

Du Tieniu replied honestly, under the seemingly honest face, he was actually extremely nervous, and he knew that the young master was a little dissatisfied.

"If you don't have the example, if you dare to interfere in your affairs and make a decision, you can go to the side wall to guard the fort!"

"Yes, young master."

When Du Tieniu raised his head again, his master had already left him and headed to the Central Army Commander's tent. He quickly followed up, but in his heart he hated those colleagues who had instigated him to death. Not only did he offend Gao Jin for no reason, but he also hated the eldest son. Why did he believe their nonsense?

A long distance away, Du Hongyu saw Gao Jin standing outside the tent of the Central Army Commander. His pace of walking was slower. Du Hongyu was not picky about Gao Jin's ability and courage. Although many of his subordinates complained about Gao Jin, they felt that Gao was too bold and reckless in their work, and even some people were sow discord in front of him.

What does Gao Jin say is the ambitious wolf Gu Ying look at, and sooner or later it will retaliate against his master!

In this case, Du Hongyu just listened to the joke. If he wanted to plan to reconcile, he naturally needed subordinates like Gao Jin who were capable of helping him accomplish things. Otherwise, if he was the group of timid people under his command, the so-called reconcile would be a joke.

But people's words are terrifying. Du Hongyu has heard a lot and still cares a lot about Gao Jin's attitude towards him, the benefactor. Although Guan Qi said that Gao Jin is a loyal and righteous person, as long as he does not let him down, the person will not let him down. However, Guan Qi and Gao Jin have a close relationship, and this is a good statement, which is not as good as he has seen with his own eyes.

After standing outside the coach's tent for half an hour, Gao Jin was not angry. When he arrived at the camp, when Du Tieniu came out to greet him, he had already realized something was wrong. Although the Du family, who was polite to him in the past, had said a few words to him this time, the sour smell was too obvious. It seemed that the eldest son praised him a lot, which made them unhappy.

Not far away, Du Hongyu, who had been standing for a while, saw that Gao Jin was not impatient at all, but stood straight. He couldn't help but turn back to Du Tieniu beside him and said coldly, "Did you see it? This is the style of a general. You are not surprised by the favor and disgrace, nor arrogant or impatient. You are far from Xiao Gao."

After saying this, Du Hongyu side walked towards the Central Army Commander's tent, and then greeted him, "Xiao Gao."

"Meet the eldest son."
