Chapter 295 Miss her, miss her

After coming out of Beicheng Sijinyuan, Lu Songli asked people to put their feet on the threshing machine for mass production.

In Houcheng, under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, there are already several workshops, including breeding workshops, planting workshops, textile and garment making workshops, construction workshops... All of them are craftsmen with relevant experience.

Lu Songli took a look at the sky and decided to go back to Qin's house.

Recently, Qin Sheng went out to suppress bandits, because the suppression of bandits started from Houcheng and steadily advanced from north to south. In other words, the locations where bandits are being suppressed will only get further and further away. Qin Sheng's trip this time is not like when he was able to go home from time to time when suppressing bandits in nearby counties and towns.

Lu Songli did the math, well, it's been half a month since he left home this time, and she missed him a little.

Today, Liaodong County's anti-bandit campaign is in full swing.

Half of the eighteen well-known bandits in Liaodong County were eradicated in just two months!

An average of one every seven days! It's so scary. No, it's too scary.

The people of Liaodong County applauded the situation of eradicating the bandit cancer in the territory.

The remaining bandits were frightened. Some of the most vicious ones felt that the governor of Liaodong County had done too much and refused to give them a way to survive. They wanted to massacre the village to vent their anger and intimidate the government and army.

This is none other than Anle Village in Wen County.

Wen County can be said to be located in the hinterland of Liaodong County, and Anle Village has a reputation for being vicious. They made it clear that they wanted to go against the official army.

But as soon as they took action, the Houcheng army led by Qin Sheng raided their lair and cut off their way back. Then they were made dumplings and nearly half of the bandits were directly slaughtered.

This move by Houcheng's army frightened the remaining mountain strongholds who wanted to fight head-on.

While Houcheng's army was cleaning up the battlefield, the following scene happened to the remaining bandits who survived.

After packing his baggage, Bandit A found his good friend Bandit B and said, "I want to secretly go down the mountain. Can you leave?"

Bandit B was shocked when he heard this, "Going down the mountain?"

Bandit A: "Yes, go down the mountain. Now the major yamen in Liaodong County are opening up household registration. If I go and apply for household registration, I will be a good citizen."

Bandit B has his own worries: "I heard that the government will also check past criminal history."

Bandit A: "Just check. Anyway, I didn't touch anyone's life. At worst, if the things I committed before are found out, I will at most be sentenced to penance. Anyway, I heard from the old farmers that serving now is not as hard as before." "The most important thing is that the sentence is quite fair. Based on what he committed, he will be sentenced to half a year's service at most.

"I have realized clearly that there is no future for me as a bandit in Liaodong County. But I don't want to leave Liaodong County." People are cheap when they leave their hometown, so they should be good.

"Okay, that's all I've said. If you don't leave, I'm leaving."

"Wait for me! I'll go with you."

At Leigong Mountain in Wen County, Qin Yan diligently directed people to clean up the battlefield, and finally gave all the instructions. He grabbed the cowhide water bag hanging around his waist and drank three large gulps of water before he felt relieved.

After drinking the water, he glanced around and found that Xiao Liu Qin Sheng was biting a piece of grass in his mouth and looking dreamily in the direction of Houcheng in the north.

Qin Yan was speechless for a moment. He had already learned about Xiao Liu's problem from Lao San. Seeing him like this, he is almost becoming a wife-loving stone. But if he looks again, can he still see his sixth brother and sister?

Beside, Zhu Dazhuang and Zhou Da were biting their ears while working, "Based on my thirty years of experience in killing pigs, Mr. Six must be thinking about Mrs. Six."

Zhou Da: Could he not know that Mr. Six misses Mrs. Six? But, "Shh, Mr. Liu is not in a good mood lately, we'd better not mess with him."

Qin Sheng didn't care what others thought, he had been out for more than half a month. On the eighteenth day after not seeing my wife, I miss her.

Originally, after clearing out the bandits in Liaotuan County, he could go back to work. Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Anle Village in Wen County was restless and wanted to provoke people at this moment. It didn't know that they had already been on guard against it and jumped over the wall.

After Anlezhai was eliminated, they had made arrangements in Xinchang County and Jujiu County and had to return for reinforcements.

He was saddened by the thought of not being able to go back immediately.

He misses his wife, but wonders if she misses him?

In Southland, three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Today is the last day of the deadline given by Zhu Congwen.

Xie Zhan arranged the work at hand, then got up and walked outside Chen's mansion.

Along the way, I met many people from the Chen clan, and they all greeted Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan came to the agreed place again at the agreed time.

Seeing Xie Zhan's tired face, Zhu Congwen knew that he was doing something for him.

Xie Zhan didn't say much and went straight to the point, "Two hundred thousand taels, take it from Xiao Zhuya Island."

Hearing the price, Zhu Congwen's eyes widened, "It's so expensive, why don't you Chen family grab it?! According to the market price, your Xiaozhuya Island is sky-high, worth 150,000 yuan, which is still high for me. Give it. Normal market price is only one hundred thousand taels!”

Xie Zhan: "It's just this price anyway, it's up to you if you want!"

Zhu Congwen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xie Zhan. Was he taking him for granted? "I can't accept this price. You go and talk to Chen Jiaye. One hundred thousand taels is fine."

Xie Zhan said with a calm expression, "I have tried my best on this matter. We can't talk about it, so don't threaten me all the time. You must know that the Chen family is not short of money and has no intention of selling Xiao Zhuya Island."

Xie Zhan's potential meaning was that if he hadn't been forced, he wouldn't have been able to buy Xiao Zhuya Island no matter how much money he spent.

Now that he wants Xiaozhuya Island, if there are traces of it, don't blame the Chen family for asking for a high price.

Zhu Congwen understood what he meant, but understanding does not mean that he can accept it, "Aren't you afraid that I will really tell Chen Jiaye about what happened between you and Miss Lu?"

Xie Zhan glanced at him, "You can go if you want, there is nothing wrong between Miss Lu and me."

As soon as Xie Zhan said this, Zhu Congwen knew that there was no room for negotiation.

There is a gold mine on Xiaozhuya Island, and an extra 100,000 taels is nothing. Even if he doesn't know how big the gold mine is, can't he mine 10,000 taels of gold on such a small island?

Who made him expose his intention to buy first? It is normal for the other party to raise the price.

"I agree, when can we trade?" In fact, he didn't want this transaction to be delayed for too long, as it would change over time. Who knows if the Chen family will get suspicious and send people to Xiaozhuya Island to check? In order to avoid more trouble, Zhu Congwen decided to agree.

Xie Zhan showed a hint of surprise at the right time, "Anytime."

"Then let's meet tomorrow morning at 3:00 p.m."

He didn't have that much cash on hand, and his personal assets were only worth about 100,000 taels. But it would take too long to cash out, and if he touched these assets, his parents would definitely notice.

He decided to borrow money from Ji's Bank. With his status as the eldest son of the Zhu family, it shouldn't be a problem. As for the interest, it didn't matter. When the gold mine was mined, it would be a piece of cake.

Anyway, this transaction had to be fast!

When he thought of this, Zhu Congwen couldn't sit still and left in a hurry.
