C108 Divide the Loot

The door was shut tight, with a little candle light in it.

Escort officer played with the raw gemstones. These were all white silver. Who wouldn't like it? The eyes of everyone behind him lit up. Any piece in the car was enough for them to live for more than ten years.

"Boss, do you want to report it? "A muscular man in the team gripped the handle of the knife.

"Do you want to make a fortune?" escort officer looked at him with disdain. He raised a gem and asked the others.

"Yes." Their voices weren't loud, because they were acting in secret.

"However, I still feel that reporting it to the imperial court is better, boss." That person frowned. After all, this was a private case, and if he reported it, he might even be rewarded.

"Why are you so rigid? With so much money, you can do whatever you want. Why did you come here to give me these! " escort officer went forward and patted his shoulder, raising his eyebrows. " This person is a black merchant. I don't even know where he got these gemstones. Since they fell into our hands, why should we let them go? Don't you think so? "

" Yes. " Naturally, everyone was happy. They had been wanting to score badly since a long time ago. Seeing that one of them was unwilling, they started persuading him.

"Boss is right. Delivering this job is only a few taels a year. If I get a gem, it will be enough for me to ask this kind of person to marry a wife!"

"Yeah, don't be so rigid. No one knows the whereabouts of these merchants. If we bump into them by chance, then this belongs to us."

"What did you say? The food we eat in the Imperial Court is the salary of the Imperial Court! No matter if it's black goods or anything else... No matter what, this is the Imperial Court's! Boss, we should report this! " The man's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke. No matter what, he refused to comply.

Escort officer's face darkened as he looked at the gem in his hand, unwilling to part with it. He said helplessly, "Alright, since you have already said so, then we can only give up. Brothers, perhaps we will not be able to be rich for the rest of our lives. We can't be like those rich people, eating whatever they want. We can do whatever we want, we can't have a big yard. He couldn't marry a beautiful wife or give filial piety to his parents. We can only work tirelessly every day and get a few taels of salary. We don't even dare to go to a better restaurant..."

"No, boss, I don't want to live that kind of life anymore!"

"I don't want that either!"

"Me too!" Everyone's eyes were filled with hatred as they glared at that person.

Escort officer curled his lips and said sadly, "It's not that I don't want our brothers to live a good life, it's him! He wants to report this to the Imperial Court and destroy our future. If anyone leaks this matter, we will all die!"

As he spoke, a few people surrounded the person who objected. That person was somewhat flustered, and his hand that was holding onto the hilt tightened a little. His other hand was blocking his chest: "Brothers, we have been through life and death together for so many years, what are you doing? Could it be that we've forgotten about our brotherly relationship because of some money? "

"Only dead people can keep secrets."

"That's not a small amount of money, and it's a treasure that can change our lives. We can't let anyone ruin it."

As they spoke, those who saw money had no other thoughts. They only wanted to catch that person. At this moment, they no longer had any so-called friendship in their hearts.

That person took a few steps back and pretended to pull out his knife. However, he remembered his past friendship and could not defeat so many people. "Brothers, have you forgotten our brotherly friendship? "

Escort officer crossed his arms and looked at the people who were fighting. Some of them picked up another piece and put it in front of him. They looked like they could not let go of it.

"Ah! Ah..." A few painful cries came from behind him. escort officer's smile became deeper. As long as he died, no one else would say anything. He would be safe!

After a while, everyone knelt on the ground. "Boss, it's settled!"

The door opened. The people who had just sent the merchant to the Western Paradise had returned. "Boss, it has been cleaned up."

"Okay, then let's discuss our treasures..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone gathered around him. They knew that they wouldn't be able to get as much as escort officer, and they weren't greedy either. As long as they waited for four or five pieces, they wouldn't have to worry about their next lives.

"We originally had 35 brothers, but now, we only have 34! Let me make this clear first. If someone leaked this matter, then that person would be making us their enemies. What do you all think we should do?" escort officer exerted pressure once again.

"Kill him!" The voice that replied was urgent and not dignified.

"Alright, there are seventy to eighty yuan in each carriage. There are a total of seven carriages. Then there will be more than 490 yuan. I am your general officer. I won't say much, I will take three cars, and the remaining four cars... Each of you can wait for more than 8 yuan. Do you have any objections? " escort officer said it was a discussion, but it was more like an order.

Suddenly, there was silence. After being stunned for a while, there were a few whispers.

"Cough cough." escort officer coughed a few times and paced back and forth. "If it wasn't for me, how would I have gotten what I got today? Why don't you think about who discovered this wealth? Who brought you to make the correct judgment? Shouldn't I, be unworthy of it? "

" We've already gotten eight or nine pieces, that's enough for a few lifetimes. Boss is right. "

"That's right..."

"The head, we were muddle-headed for a moment! " They all knelt down. No matter what, their hearts were filled with joy.

"Alright, we're all brothers. It's just that we can't take it now. We have to complete the deposit first. When we come back, we want to continue doing this line of work. If you don't want to do it, you can't not do it at the same time, understand? In order to avoid suspicion, that would be bad. Our future would be ruined. That's why we have to be careful and even more careful."

"Yes."

"We need to find a place to hide first. After hiding, no one is allowed to leave. We need to trust each other and help each other! We are on the same boat!"

"Boss, we all understand this. Our brothers are reliable." "Yeah. Yes."

"Alright, then let's clean up this place. When the shopkeeper asks tomorrow, he will say that he doesn't know. Perhaps he went out in the middle of the night! Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Chief, I know that there is a cave in this forest that is very secretive. I only found out about it by coincidence. " After listening to his subordinate's words, escort officer became more and more pleased with himself. "Alright, let's go there now!"

"Yes. Brothers, follow me. "

In the darkness of the night, a group of people pushed their cars and looked left and right as they exited from the backyard.

"Croak, croak, croak." A few crows flew over the top of their heads. Accompanied by the darkness of the surroundings, it actually caused some of the timid ones to feel some fear.

"Have we arrived?" escort officer had goosebumps all over his body as he asked in an uncomfortable manner.

"Come quickly, come quickly." The person leading the way held up the torch and looked to the right. He pointed to a small slope and said, "It's here."

"Okay, brothers. Hurry up and leave these damn places as soon as possible." escort officer, on the other hand, knew how to win over people's hearts. He patted escort officer on the shoulder. Inadvertently, he started counting in his heart. Thirty-three, thirty-four, three... Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven...

Why did it become more and more strange to count forty-two people? Besides him, how did the original thirty-three people become thirty-seven? The ones behind seemed to be a dark mass! What was that thing?

Escort officer didn't dare to fall behind. He rushed forward and looked at their faces one by one. Now, there weren't many of them left.

"Boss, what's wrong?" The subordinate saw that he was in a daze and called out to him, "Hide well. Let's go back!"

"Okay, let's go!" escort officer vigilantly looked around and did not find anything unusual. He then went back to the post house in the middle of the crowd.
