âAre you saying that someone will sabotage it?â Yang Zeheng looked at Gu Chengrui in surprise.
âIâm not sure, but there are lazy people everywhere. They might not be willing to see the stronghold disband. In short, itâs better to be careful.â
âI understand.â Lin Yitian turned around and walked out.
The kitchen was the only place that could cause large-scale destruction.
Therefore, he brought two brothers with him and watched the kitchen surroundings.
They didnât expect that they would really catch someone who was about to drug the wine.
âYouâre courting death!â Lin Yitian grabbed the poison from him.
âWhat poison is this?â he asked, glancing at the poison in the paper bag.
âItâs not poison. Itâs just ginger powder to warm the body.â
âIs that so? Have a taste first.â After Lin Yitian finished speaking, he was about to pour it into his mouth.
The man was shocked. He pushed him with all his strength and turned around to run out.
As soon as he went out, he was blocked by Lin Yifan.
âHand him over to his chief,â Lin Yitian said. âHe should handle his own people.â
âMy lord, please take a look at this medicine.â He brought the medicine to Gu Chengrui.
âSomeone really did it.â Yang Zeheng said.
âItâs normal.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he took the medicine and carefully identified it. âThis is a self-made knockout powder. It will increase the effect when mixed with alcohol.â
âIt looks like he wants to knock everyone out.â
At this moment, Tiger walked in with a man whose face was swollen from being beaten.
âDid he confess? Whatâs the situation?â Gu Chengrui asked.
âHe confessed. They just disliked that the money given to them was too little, so they wanted to knock everyone out and run away with the money.â Tiger replied.
âOh, how much is the dismissal fee?â
â20 taels for each strong laborer, 10 taels for each woman and child,â Tiger replied.
âThis is already quite good. The government only gave five taels of silver to each person.â Yang Zeheng commented.
âHeâs wild. He thinks the mountains are rich. How do we deal with this situation?â Tiger asked.
âIs there a lot of them?â
âThere are 34 of them with him,â said the tiger.
âHow about banishment to the army?â Yang Zeheng looked at Gu Chengrui and asked.
âSure, give them the silver and make them follow the exiles to the border.â Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
If these people were arranged to be in a village, they might do something wrong anyway. It was better to let the army manage them.
âHurry up and thank the Prince and Marquis for sparing your life.â Tiger kicked the man.
After the man got up, he immediately kowtowed three times.
Only then did Tiger take the person away.
In the evening, everyone had a farewell dinner together. Some cried, some made a fuss, and some fought. In short, they expressed their reluctance in various ways.
The next morning, Tiger opened the warehouse and distributed the silver to everyone.
At the same time, Lin Yitian returned to the prefecture and called some soldiers and officials over. He directly arranged for the people who planned to go down the mountain to farm at various places.
They also sent soldiers to bring them over.
Those who wanted to be soldiers were directly incorporated into the garrison.
Those who wanted to open a bodyguard agency had also made their record.
Tiger and the others naturally prepared this as well.
Finally, the exiled people and their families were escorted back to the prefecture by the officials.
After finishing his work, Tiger pulled Gu Chengrui to the side and said, âOther than the silver that was distributed, there are also some antiques and jewelry, as well as the stolen money from the magistrateâs corruption.
âWhat should we do with those?â
âSure, but tell me what you think first..â
