"Sir!" Zhou Wen was a little reluctant when he heard Yuan Cheng's words. He glanced sideways at Mo Zi with an angry look, "We have already suffered a big loss by selling her five thousand taels. Giving one away for free would be too expensive.

Big."

"What price can be compared with your own life? Didn't Boss Zhou just say that if a person loses his life, what else do he need money for?" Mo Zi did not blush for her false morality. She did not steal or rob.

The first corrupt official, a lion, opens his mouth, which is like pulling out a hair from an ox, so there is no need to feel guilty.

He is worthy of being the most corrupt official. He has been imprisoned, but he can still escape, and there is someone like Zhou Wen who works for him. Moreover, seeing that he is the one who sells and gives away Shui Jingzhu, it is obvious that this Zhuyu Ji has a very close relationship with him.

Qian, maybe he is the real boss.

"So, Brother Mo agreed?" Yuan Cheng ignored Zhou Wen and only asked Mo Zi.

"To be honest with you, my heart is really moved." She brought six more, and she didn't mind taking one more away. A 200,000 tael of beads is definitely worth it to me who has less than 10 taels of savings.

Fat bait that you can’t help but swallow.

"Nonsense, you won't spend a penny, but you will get a lot of money." Zhou Wen is a businessman who is bound to make profits. He complained openly in front of Yuan Cheng, unlike a loyal servant.

"Brother Mo, please continue." Yuan Cheng ignored Zhou Wen to the end.

Not only is he a corrupt official, but he is also a smart one. Mo Zi looked at the rickety shadow in front of him and said, "Although I am moved, I still hesitate. Have you ever heard of the story of the scorpion and the frog?" Even though the bait is big, it must be taken.

Come down and eat again.

"Yuan is listening." His throat felt like it was being crushed by a stone, making it hoarse and hoarse, and he looked like he might be speechless at any moment.

"The scorpion wanted to cross the river, but he couldn't swim. At this time, a frog wanted to cross the river. So he asked the frog to carry him across the river. The frog refused and said that your tail is poisonous. What if it stings me?

The scorpion promised the frog again and again that he would never sting it. The scorpion said, if I sting you when crossing the river, you will die, and I will die too, so why would I sting you? The frog thought it right and agreed to carry it.

It's done. Sir, can you guess the result?" On a whim, Mo Zi forgot about the turmoil caused by telling the story in Qiu Mansion and told another story.

Yuan Cheng didn't say a word for a long time. When Mo Zi thought he couldn't guess, he replied, "I guess the scorpion stung the frog to death and then drowned himself."

"That's right." Mo Zi thought to himself, no wonder it has been said that traitorous ministers have been capable ministers since ancient times, while loyal ministers may not be smart. "Before the frog died, he asked the scorpion, you know that you will die if you stab me to death, why do you have to stab me?

What? Scorpion replied reluctantly, I can't help it, because it's my nature. Your Excellency gave me water beads, and I am indeed greedy. But if I take you across the river, if I encounter a navy on the way, even if you don't want to get involved,

I, I'm afraid I can't escape the crime. If I don't have any private goods on the boat, if I am caught, I will be slapped with dozens of slaps at most. But if I help the criminals escape, it will be a capital crime. As long as I think about this, I feel like a frog

Just as hesitant."

"What do you want?" Yuan Cheng, being a smart man, immediately asked Mo Zi.

"It's not difficult. As long as you make a life-and-death contract with me, if you unfortunately encounter an officer or soldier, and I ask you to dive, you have to jump. If you can't hold on and die, your family will not be able to hold me responsible in the future. Life

You are lucky, and death is your fate. This is the rule of our private ship." A contract means that death has nothing to do with it.

"If you collect two beads, not only will you not be able to protect people from crossing the river, but they will die without involving you. It's too cruel." Zhou Wen was so angry that he thought to himself, who did he recruit?

"I'm talking just in case. Besides, if he jumped into the water, I have to get rid of the beads in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from finding the private goods, right? Besides, my brothers in the same boat cannot risk their lives for someone I don't know.

"Mo Zi made it clear, "Sir, as long as you agree, we can set off early tomorrow morning."

"Sir, I think it's better to wait. After your injury is better and the wind has passed, I will find a way to send you out of the city. Then you can take a small road. Although it will take more time, it is safer than the waterway." Zhou Wen thought of it.

It hurts to lose two water purification beads.

"Then it's up to you. Don't worry, I'm a very strict person. If the business is not successful, benevolence and righteousness remain." How to say? If people give her the opportunity to be greedy, of course she will try her best to get it. If they don't give it, she doesn't care.

"Brother Mo, please be patient. Yuan did not say no." Yuan Cheng spoke much slower than before, his breathing was uneven, and there was a dull sound in his throat.

"Sir!" Zhou Wen stomped forward.

"Brother Mo was born in Zhou Dynasty?" Yuan Cheng's attitude towards Zhou Wen was extremely cold and he only talked to Mo Zi.

"No, I'm originally from Yuling. My relatives in my hometown were in trouble, and one of them escaped for his life, but was rescued by my boss." Why did he ask her where she came from? He was confused, but Mo Zi was very clear.

"Then you should hate Daqiu." Yuan Cheng said slowly, word by word, obviously looking like he couldn't hold on any longer, "You haven't been in Da Zhou for a long time, do you know about my affairs with Yuan Cheng?"

Mo Zi shook his head, "I have been in Dazhou for less than a year, and this is only the third time I have been to Nande. Every time I am in and out in a hurry, I have never heard of you. Since yesterday, I have only heard of your name." It's not a name.

, is the nickname, the nickname of the number one corrupt official.

"I was born in the Zhou Dynasty. My grandfather was a first-class governor, and my father was the prince's tutor and taught the prince for five years. A list of treasonous plots implicated an innocent person. The previous emperor, regardless of right and wrong, cut their bodies into pieces and implicated nine tribes. The wet nurse

He led me to escape alone, but all my brothers and sisters were captured. At that time, I was five years old, but I remembered the ferocious anger of the officers and soldiers in front of my house. From then on, I swore never to return to Zhou Dynasty." Yuan Cheng is not the most corrupt official at this moment, but a lonely supporter.

of victims of injustice.

Mo Zi thought, is he trying to win sympathy?

"Brother Mo thought that the Zhou Dynasty that I would never want to enter, why did I change my mind now?" Yuan Cheng was not as superficial as she thought, "Because I am afraid of death. As long as I can survive, even if it is a place where the whole family is in trouble

, I will go back again. I'm afraid of dying to the point of abandoning my family feud. I don't have the nature of scorpions to sting people even if they die."

Mo Zi looked at him with admiration, he was really persuasive.

"I'm lucky to get it, but not my life. Brother Mo, I agree with you. If I die in the river, it's my own fault and I won't blame anyone else. And I, Yuancheng, have relatives in the world. If they die, no one will stand up for me."

.In Nande, I made people angry. When they heard about my death, I don’t know how many people clapped their hands and cheered." Yuan Cheng coughed violently again, but he rested his hands on his legs and remained motionless, "However, Brother Mo also needs to know

, my arms are broken and it is difficult to walk. If you don’t mind being a disabled person, please come and pick me up tomorrow. As for the reward, I will give you two pearls when I get on the boat."

Mo Zi was first surprised by the twists and turns of the No. 1 corrupt official's life experience, and then admired how he could talk and laugh even though his body endured such pain.

"Master Yuan, please have a rest. Tomorrow morning, I will come to pick you up personally. Say goodbye." The most corrupt official at least has a true character, she thought.

With a flick of his green shirt, his sleeves flew up, and he bowed deeply.
