Chapter 157 – Bringing Money To Redeeming People

The escort of Jinzhen escort agency, Chen Wang and others, have already changed shifts.

The previous people have gone to sleep and were already asleep.

They yawned wanting to change the guard, but the night breeze woke them up as they felt hungry.

Boiling a pot of water and putting a spoonful of lard and adding a few eggs before finally adding some noodles, the pot of simple egg noodles was ready.

The people from Jinzhen escort agency gathered around the pot of noodles and ate them quickly, chatting while eating.

Lard and egg noodles ware actually very common. People of Changlong fighting business didn’t even look at it before but now after a day without food, they couldn’t help but drool.

The nights at the mountains were freezing but if you could eat some soup noodles….

Chen Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn’t help asking for noodles.

“What are you guys doing? Don’t be lazy!”

“Get to work!”

The people of the Jinzhen escort agency seeing them not doing anything, immediately shouted.

“No.” The people from the Jinzhen escort agency immediately said, grinning.

Chen Wang was trying to endure this for a while, but now he was hungry and tired so he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“If you don’t give us enough to eat and let us sleep, how can we have the strength to work?” Chen Wen said, the people from Jizhen escort agency were really going too far!

“You poisoned our chickens and you want us to feed you and find a place for you to sleep? Why should we do that?” The people from the Jinzhen escort agency snickered.

Chen Wang was stunned, but feeling some guilty he finally said: “I will pay money to buy food from you!”

“Why should we sell you food?” One of the men from the Jizhen escort agency snorted coldly.

“Don’t deceive others too much!” Chen Wang expression was ugly, as he glanced at the people around him. Then the people from Changlong fighting business pounced on the people in front of him – it was night and there wasn’t many of them around so they might be able to escape.

People from Changlong fighting business have a good idea, but they overestimate themselves.

They were very hungry and have been working for the whole day without any rest, they were also not armed so how could they beat the people of Jinzhen escort agency?

In no time, they were suppressed.

“Very well since you dare to resist ……” It was He Xiasheng who led people to guard these people. He was not very flexible so he could not be entrusted with an important task so he had always just been a small leader under Jiang Zhen.

At this time, Jiang Zhen had already told him what he was planning to do. Looking coldly at the people from Changlong fighting business he asked someone to bring him a bucket of water and give a spoonful of water to people in front of him: “This is the water that was poisoned by you before, come on, everyone take a sip!”

The water that they had poisoned before? Chen Wang’s expression changed dramatically as he struggled, but to no avail. In the end, he was forced to drink some of the water.

As soon as people of Jizhen escort agency let go of Chen Weng. Chen Wang desperately used his fingers to make himself throw out the water he had just drank. But it was obviously not that easy to do.

Soon, Chen Wang covered his stomach and cried out in pain.

When Other people of Changlong fighting business saw this, their expression changed, but they were also forced to drink the water in the end just like Chen Weng.

They were not going to be poisoned to death, were they?

The stomachs of the Changlong fighting business people all hurt, as they covered their stomachs their eyes were full of panic.

“Don’t worry since you are not chickens, drinking so little will not make you die.” He Xiasheng said: “But… next time we will give you more to drink!”

Hearing He Xiasheng’s words, Chen Wang and others felt relieved at first but then become nervous again.

Then …… they all had diarrhea together.

It was so bad that it not only cleaned their stomach contents but also drained water. Resulting in feeling very weak.

“Give them some water,”He Xiasheng said.

“No!” Chen Wang said in despair.

“This time the water will not be poisonous! If you drink some it will lessen the toxicity so you can go back to work right away. Don’t try to be lazy!” He Xiasheng said.

In fact, not only this water was not poisonous, the previous water was also not poisonous, they just put some croton inside.

Of course, croton also has some toxicity, which can cause diarrhea.

Chen Wang and others didn’t want to drink water at first, but their diarrhea was too strong and they really needed to drink some water. Finally, they drank some water.

Just as they finished drinking, they were forced back to work.

After a night of tossing and turning, Chen Wang and others were so tired that they could almost fall asleep as soon as they lay down.

But they couldn’t go to sleep since people from the Jinzhen escort agency were forcing them to work.

Chen Wang never thought how important it was to eat and sleep before, but now he only has these two things on his mind.

“Get to work!”

“Do a good job and don’t be lazy!”

He Xiasheng, with a cup of croton water in his hand, circled around Chen Wang and others. Whoever would try to be lazy and not work would be given some more water to drink: “This toxin would accumulate in your body so drinking small amounts is fine but if you drink too much… I can’t guarantee what will happen in the end. “

What else can happen/! They would definitely die!

Chen Wang and others forced themselves to work, the people of Jizhen escort agency just let them work, not caring if they did a good job or not.

While Chen Wang and the others were screaming everywhere. Their families were looking everywhere for someone to save them.

Moreover, someone finally agreed to save them.

Last night, Jiang Zhen went home to sleep, but the next day, he went back to the chicken farm.

He then had Chen Wang brought to him.

After one day and night, the previously strong man from yesterday had shriveled up.

Chen Wang collapsed and could not even open his eyes so when he saw Jiang Zhen , even such a strong man like him wanted to cry.

“The environment here is good, right? The scenery is also very good isn’t it? You can stay here for a few more days. ” Jiang Zhen smiled.

“Escort agency boss, spare my life!” Chen Wang immediately said: “Escort agency boss Jiang, I’ll tell you everything you want to know!”

“Don’t worry, you can take your time.” Jiang Zhen was still smiling.

Chen Wang could no longer stand it: “It was Zheng Yi, Young Master Zheng, who gave us money to deal with you!”

“Who doesn’t know that Zheng Yi and I are in partnership? Even if you guys want to make up a story, don’t make it up so nonsensically.” Jiang Zhen said, he was confident that Zheng Yi would never try to harm him. Even if he really wanted to harm him, he would never use such a mentally retarded means.

“It was Zheng Yi! The one who he send was the steward of Qingfeng Building. I know him. If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have dared to deal with you!” Chen Wang said in agitation, the Zheng family was now very powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. Without the backing of the Zheng family how could he dare to offend the Jinzhen escort agency?

“Which steward?” Jiang Zhen asked.

“It was Steward Li.” Chen Wang said.

Jiang Zhen immediately asked someone to tell Zheng Yi about this, then added: “Take him with you and making him work well, let’s find a few more people to ask.”

“I’ve told you everything I can, let me go!” Chen Wang said: “I can pay compensation!”

Chen Wang anxiously wanted to go back but Jiang Zhen just ignored him.

At the same time, after questioning a few of Chen Wang’s men, Jiang Zhen was sure that it was really that Steward Li who was in charge of this job.

This Steward Li was obviously a problem.

There was definitely something wrong with him.

Jiang Zhen soon got the news that Steward Li had left Qingfeng Building a few days ago and disappeared.

At the same time, a group of people came to his chicken farm, among them was a group of people from local Yamen.

When the people of Yamen come, Jiang Zhen come out to have a look.

“Gentlemen, what is your reason for coming here?” Jiang Zhen asked.

“Master Jiang, someone is looking for you ……” When the official saw Jiang Zhen, he immediately smiled.

Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi relationship were very good and over the years the yamen had already established a relationship with them so at this moment, this official explained: “Master Jiang, several people came to the Yamen, all of them saying that you took away the people of the Changlong fighting business and brought them here so we come to ask about it.”

Come here, they were forced to come here… At that time, many people saw Jiang Zhen enter Changlong fighting business and pull three cart of “pigs” out of the building.

Since all the people of Changlong fighting business were gone, they had no choice but to take this trip.

“Jiang Zhen, what did you do to my husband?”One of the women asked.

“And my son!”

“And my brother!”

…

The family members of Changlong fighting business people were furious as they asked one after another.

But Jiang Zhen was very calm: “For what reason? “

Does Jiang Zhen admit that Changlong fighting business people were in his hands. The Yamen officers face stiffened, a little embarrassed – if Jiang Zhen did not admit it, he could be taken these people away ah!

Those who came with him were about to explode: “What have you done with my son?”

“Where is my husband?”

Those who come were all terrified that Jiang Zhen had already killed them.

“I’ll have someone bring them here.” Jiang Zhen said: “They are all fine, they’re just working for me to compensate for my losses.”

Soon, Chen Wang and the others were brought in.

But just after one day of not seeing them, all of them looked shriveled, this… was just working?

Their families didn’t believe it.

“I didn’t ask anyone to beat them or scold them. I just asked them to help with work, if you don’t believe me just check their bodies, see if they are injured.” Jiang Zhen said.

When those people heard his words they all wanted to check their family members up, but were stopped by Jinzhen escort agency people. Finally, only a few people went over.

“Chen Wang, are you okay?” Chen Wang’s wife anxiously checked up on her husband, but as a result, she couldn’t find any injures except some bruises.

“I ……” Chen Wang wanted to speak, but after looking at the smiling eyes of the guard next to him, he immediately didn’t dare to open his mouth.

“You can take them away…. But to compensate us for our losses… I will not charge much either. The leader is 500 silver and the rest is 100 silver each. If you bring money I will let them go.”

Those people, who were filled with righteous indignation before, finding their family members not injured calmed down.

“It’s just a few chickens that were poisoned, so there’s no need to pay so much for them.”

“That’s right, it’s just a few chickens.”

After being reassured, they were no longer willing to pay.

Although the Changlong fighting business makes money, it was not particularly profitable, especially for those at the bottom. After eating, drinking, and playing around there was not much money left.

One hundred silver… where they would get so much money?

However, Chen Wang and others no longer wanted to continue staying here.

They wanted to leave!

“Wife, go home and get the money to redeem me!’ Chen Wang said to his wife: “There is some money in the box under my bed, take it and ransom us all!”

If he stay here any longer he would surely die!

As for his men, they all worked for him so he couldn’t leave them alone.

Tomorrow we can finally go home!
