Chapter 123 The pot is ready
Su He lowered his head and thought for a while, then decided to give it a try first. "Captain Zheng, can you help to get some information? If Lord Chen's seal is useful, we will go directly there. If it is useless, we will think of another way."
What else could he think of? Zheng Da couldn't think of any solution except paying the money.
As long as you pass that road, no one will not pay money. There are high mountains all around. It will take several months for you to climb a mountain. Who would not want to accept it?
"Okay, then you wait here for me. There are people in this town who know their rules. I'll go ask them in detail."
Su He waited expectantly, but unexpectedly Zheng Da came back within ten minutes.
"Well, I heard that the toll has increased. Even if you have a seal, you can only pay half the silver."
Su He stared at Zheng Da and asked the price, "How much is half?"
Zheng Da didn't dare to look at Su He, "2 taels per person, 8 taels for the carriage and 3 taels for the cart."
Su He was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that these bandits wanted to make a fortune before the New Year and have a prosperous year.
"Do you know where those guys live?"
"I live right next to the toll road. There's a valley there."
"how many people?"
"Maybe there are a hundred people. Why are you asking this?"
What? She wants to destroy them, and she won't pay a penny.
Why should she give away the money she worked so hard to earn?
Su He decided on the spot to stay in Huangye Town tonight. "Captain Zheng, is there any place for the six hundred of us to stay in this town?"
Zheng Da was a little confused, "Hehua, aren't we going to hurry on our way?"
"Everyone has been tired for half a month, so let's have a good night's sleep. Chief Zheng, please find some big bunk beds."
"Okay, it should be OK if we all squeeze in. Lotus, I'll book you a room upstairs."
"No need. I'm just like everyone else. Please go talk to the village chiefs of the three villages and ask them to take care of their own villages."
After Su He finished speaking, she went to find her grandfather. She wanted to tell her family about her decision.
"Grandpa, have you finished eating?"
Grandpa was chatting with a group of people including my great-grandfather. The lively atmosphere in the town infected them. The tense nerves of the past few months relaxed a lot and everyone was very happy.
"Hehua, we've all finished eating, shall we hit the road? Dali and Goudan's families have pooled their money to buy a carriage, so we can travel faster from now on."
Grandpa was very happy. He seemed to have seen himself farming in his new home.
"Grandpa, let's rest here tonight."
Su He did not hide the matter of toll collection from his family, and then told several elders about his thoughts.
"I'm going to tie them up, and someone will naturally go find them after we leave."
Su He never thought about killing anyone. Since she traveled through time to ancient times, everything has been smooth sailing for her. She met many good people and her mentality was still very good.
"Hehua, count me in. I've seen a lot of big scenes with your grandpa. I'll call Jingui along, and we'll..."
Grandpa covered his brother's mouth expressionlessly, and grandma tacitly handed him a handkerchief specially prepared for her brother-in-law. Grandpa's mouth was wrapped around and around.
Su He watched as her grandfather suddenly became obedient under the glares of his brother and sister-in-law.
"Grandpa, I want to start in the middle of the night. Tell the villagers who want to buy a car to hurry up. We will set off at dawn."
Su He was thinking about the things in the space. She had to capture the people in that valley.
"Hehua, are you sure? Call your brothers."
Grandpa was very angry, these people would not let them live. They could not go back, they could only move forward. According to the rules of these bandits, wouldn't the six hundred of them have to hand over several thousand taels of silver, and only by selling them could they make up the money? Since they were all dead, they would take the initiative to attack.
"I'll go find Liu Bai, and then Dali, Erli, Wang Zhi, and Wang Liang. This town may not be safe. Grandpa, everyone should stay together as much as possible. I suggest that half of us sleep and the other half keep watch. Here's 200 taels of silver. Grandpa, let's buy a few more cars and set off at dawn tomorrow. You guys buy your things and go to bed early."
Su He handed four silver ingots to grandpa.
"Lotus, we are waiting for you to come back."
There was some melancholy in grandma's eyes. She stared at Su He, afraid that Su He would never come back.
Su He nodded, "Don't worry, grandma, grandpa, you can take some time to talk to uncle later. There are also a few village heads. Zheng Biaotou and others don't know about this. I told you that everyone needs to have a good rest."
"I see. Don't worry. You can ask all the boys at home to go. It doesn't make sense for them to hide behind you when you, a girl, go."
Grandpa turned around and called Fugui, asking them to call the village chief to prepare for the meeting.
Su He called Liu Bai and others to go out of town for a meeting.
"Sister Hehua, do you think we will really have a home when we get to Su'an?"
Wang Zhi was a little depressed. He thought Lord Chen was very powerful, but it turned out that he was a liar.
Wang Liang patted his cousin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, at worst we can go back. Maybe the well water will return when we get home."
"If Su'an doesn't accept us, we can find a place to build a village. My sister has enough money for us to live for five or six years. We still have sweet potatoes. I have a batch of sweet potatoes hidden. If we plant for two years, we will get everything back. Don't worry."
Su He was confused for a moment when she saw Wang Zhi's lost look, but she couldn't show it.
"Grandpa said that our hometown is in Yunhe Guangyuan County. If Su'an doesn't take us in, then we will go to Yunhe. The old lady of the Zhao Mansion is also there. The old lady owes me a favor. I will ask the old lady for help when the time comes."
Wang Zhi was immediately happy, "Really? Then let's go to Guangyuan. What's so good about Su'an?"
Wang Liang helplessly reminded his cousin, "Brother, we can't even go to Su'an now. We don't have the money to pay the toll."
"Sister, tell me, when are we going to start?"
Su He was somewhat moved when she saw the young and energetic Wang Zhi. Her family members all supported her unconditionally.
"Wait until dark, those people will be on the official road. I asked around and found out that they also have people collecting tolls at the intersection at night. We can stop the mule halfway and get off the car. After dealing with the people at the intersection, we can find their valley."
"Lotus, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone. Let us go."
Dali and the other man were listening quietly on the side. They also supported this action, but they were worried about Su He going in alone.
"You will be responsible for kidnapping people at that time. Wait for my notification at the intersection."
Liu Bai frowned, "Miss, why don't you find a few more people so that we can have more people to support us. They should have food there. The toll is so high, I guess the people in the valley are rich."
Su He turned around in confusion, "You mean, we should rob these bandits?"
