Chapter 103: Being Tricked
Chapter 103: Being Tricked
"This..." Zhu Da hesitated this time, mainly because his warehouse had been depleted a lot recently and if he took more, it would run out.
Rong Bai glanced at him and said sympathetically: "It's okay. It's okay if you don't want to go out. I understand. It's just..."
"It's a pity for all the manpower and resources we put in. We paid so much, but we came back empty-handed. What a pity!"
That long sigh pierced Zhu Da's heart and made him feel unbearable pain.
It was like there was a box of treasure clearly placed in front of him. He had already gone through 81 difficulties and was only one step away from success.
How does this work?
He gritted his teeth and said painfully, "Who said I won't go out? If I go out, we must break into Chaoyang Villa and capture Luo Xi alive this time."
His face was distorted with heartache.
"However, I must take 60% of the property in the villa, otherwise, there is no need to mention this matter anymore."
Sixty percent? Rong Bai would agree with 100 percent: "No problem."
But you have to be able to get it, right?
Zhu Da was immediately jealous. What's so great about being rich? He agreed so readily.
He thought that Rong Bai's family had too much money, so he didn't care about financial matters.
"Wait, the stuff will be delivered in three days, and we'll start the battle right away."
This time he acted faster than ever before. Within three days, he had delivered 10,000 shi of grain to the military camp.
So proactive! Rong Bai began to admire himself. He felt that he didn't need to do any business. He could just open a store, help people fool fools, and then get a commission.
And earn more easily.
"Master Zhu, you are getting more and more efficient in your work," he praised quickly.
Zhu Da didn't even dare to glance at the food and fodder, for fear that he would regret it again.
"Don't flatter me. When are we leaving? I'm telling you, I want to go with you this time."
He wanted to see the destruction of Chaoyang Villa with his own eyes, otherwise, the anger in his heart would never go away.
Together? Rong Bai thought about it for a while and agreed. After all, they had been pretending to be dead for so long, and both of them had become proficient. They were not afraid that Zhu Da, a fool, would find out the flaws.
However, Rong Bai did not have the chance to pretend for the last time, because when they turned around, they saw Luo Xi standing in the middle of the camp.
Just one person!
Rong Bai secretly sighed and said what a pity.
The boss is really something. Why not let Zhu Da get more excited? It would be so much fun.
However, Zhu Da was also very excited at this time: "Come on, hurry up, catch the traitor Luo Xi."
Now, we don’t have to spend the last ten thousand stones of grain. It was Luo Xi who delivered it to us anyway, and it has nothing to do with Rong Bai.
However, after he shouted for a long time, no one in the camp moved. They all looked at him as if he were a fool.
Zhu Da's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Rong Bai: "Mr. Rong, why don't you let them arrest the rebels?"
Rong Bai made a few "tsk tsk" sounds, ignored him, and walked straight towards Luo Xi: "Boss, can't you let me play for a while? It's rare to see such a stupid and rich person."
"You are no longer useful, so why bother?" Luo Xi looked at him meaningfully, "If you are really bored, go help Wei Qing, or Yin Li. They have a lot of things to do, so you will never be bored again."
Rong Bai: “…”
Then he's probably just bored.
A wooden stake and a desperate man are both worth provoking.
"You, you..." There is still something that Zhu Da doesn't understand now.
He was... being tricked by someone!
"Rong Bai, you are an official appointed by the imperial court. Do you think you are worthy of the imperial court's cultivation of you by doing this?"
Rong Bai said listlessly: "I eat my own food and spend my own money. It has nothing to do with the imperial court."
"But it was you, Lord Zhu, who sent me a lot of food and money. Thank you. You are such a kind person."
Zhu Da: “…”
His whole face turned white and then blue, and then blue and then black.
"Don't go too far. If the county magistrate knew that you had joined the bandits, he would definitely not let you go. However, if you turn back now, I will pretend that nothing happened."
"Once we take down Luo Xi, all the credit will be yours, how about that?" He tried to gain an opportunity for himself.
"Why waste so much time talking to him?" Luo Xi began to play the bad guy: "Just execute him on the spot, and the third in command of Chaoyang Villa will be yours from now on."
Rong Bai glanced at Luo Xi, then at Zhu Da, and lowered his head without saying a word.
Zhu Da thought he was tempted, so he quickly raised the stakes: "I still have 100,000 dan of grain and a treasury of treasures at home, all for you."
He hasn't lived enough, how can he die?
Rong Bai hesitated, and finally said: "It is impossible for me to betray the boss, but we can let you live."
He looked at Luo Xi and negotiated: "Boss, do you think it's okay? After all, Master Zhu is also my friend."
Friend? Zhu Da was confused. How could he not know? But he didn't care for the moment: "Yes, yes, I am a friend of Lord Rong."
Luo Xi stared at Zhu Da: "It depends on your own performance."
This was still not enough, Zhu Da made up his mind and took out all the coffin books: "I'll give you another box of gold bars, this is my last savings."
What sin had he committed to have all his underwear taken off when he came to Tongning County?
Seeing that it was almost done, Luo Xi nodded to Rong Bai.
"Deal." Rong Bai waved to the soldier next to him and said, "Give Lord Zhu a set of paper and pen, and ask him to write a letter to his subordinates."
Zhu Da finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least his life was saved.
After Zhu Da was suppressed, Rong Bai asked in confusion: "Boss, why don't you just kill this kind of person? Why let him go back alive?"
Kill directly. Luo Xi is not that stupid: "Du Hong will always send people to deal with us."
"In that case, isn't Zhu Da, who knows everything and whose brain is not very good, much better than someone who has never seen and knows nothing about him?"
She will go back soon and ask Jiuxian to find a way to help this fool, otherwise he will be killed by Du Hong when she returns, which would be a pity.
Rong Bai gave Luo Xi a thumbs up in admiration: "Great!"
A few days later, Zhuda's ransom arrived, and Luo Xi released him as agreed.
It was not until Zhu Da sat in his familiar chair that he finally believed that his life was saved, but...
How should the county magistrate explain then?
bother!
But before he could think of a good solution, Du Hong's messenger arrived: "Master Zhu, I don't need to say more, right? Please!"
Zhu Da was invited to the county magistrate's office.
How much he wanted to come into this place before, but now, Zhu Da just wanted to escape.
How to do?How to do?
The county magistrate wouldn’t just kill him, would he?
Although a county governor does not have the power to kill a county magistrate, isn't it the governor's specialty to kill someone unknowingly and then put the blame on the robbers?
Du Hong sat leisurely in the back hall, and through the dark window, he looked at Zhu Da who was fidgeting in the room.
"What a loser! No wonder Luo Xi and Rong Bai played him around like a fool."
"Sir, should we..." The lawyer next to him raised his hand and scratched his neck.
