"Oh? Brother Six had this carved on it. As for what it means! You don't need to know, right? In your mind, we are 'anti-thieves' anyway, and it's useless for you to know what is anti-thief." Li Aiming loved it.

Kaifu Li answered nonchalantly.

"There's nothing wrong with you saying that. It's me who's too busy. Then let's keep walking!" Kaifu Li replied helplessly.

"Well... let's go!" Li Aiming simply responded.

The houses directly down the mountain have been carefully planned, so although the houses are simple mud-brick houses, they are neat and consistent, which is particularly ornamental to people of this era.

On the way, many people who knew Li Aiming and Zhong Baoguo greeted them one after another when they saw their arrival, and occasionally even joked with them.

Seeing them talking and laughing like this, Kaifu Li felt an indescribable feeling.

The same kind of mud-legged people. Why are the mud-legged people in other places indifferent or even afraid of the Green Camp soldiers, but the team members here are so valued and respected by them?

Why are the mud legs in other places so dull and numb, but the mud legs here are so lively and active?

Why do the mud-legged people in other places look like no one, but the mud-legged people here seem to be full of hope for the future?

Kaifu Li didn't understand, could it be that Zhang Rui really had such ability?

While Kaifu Li was thinking all the way, the three of them walked to the area where houses were still being built.

Suddenly, Li Kaifu saw one of his Green Battalion soldiers carrying mud bricks shirtless. With him were several other Green Battalion soldiers who were also his men, and they were chatting loudly and enthusiastically about something.

When Li Kaifu saw this scene, he immediately became angry.

"This Zhang Liu actually dares to treat his soldiers as slaves to work? Is the money we have to pay every day in vain?"

With anger, Kaifu Li wanted to ask what kind of "abuse" his soldiers were subjected to. It would be better to go back and report to General Gualjia when the time comes, and then deduct some money from Zhang Rui.

So, he quickly walked towards the Green Camp soldiers who were building a house.

But before we reached it, we heard them shouting: "Everyone, hurry up, come on. Don't let the 'slow movers' next to us pass us, it will be embarrassing."

When Li Kaifu heard their calls like this, he couldn't help but feel strange.

When he arrived, the green battalion soldier also discovered Li Kaifu. He quickly put down what he was doing, ignored the mud stains and dirt on the ground, and knelt down to Li Kaifu and said

"Senior General, why are you here? Did you come to ransom us back?"

Upon seeing this, several Green Camp soldiers who were still laying bricks near the Green Camp soldiers also came over and knelt down to Li Kaifu.

Slowly, other Green Camp soldiers discovered the situation and came over to kneel to Li Kaifu.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the team members patrolling the surrounding areas. Later, Li Aiming, who was beside Kaifu Li, explained to them that it was Brother Six's intention, and they left.

When they left, they also warned Li Kaifu, asking him to be more careful and not causing a big commotion that would be difficult to clean up. At the same time, they asked Li Aiming to watch Li Kaifu and not let him mess around.

Fortunately, not many Green Camp soldiers noticed Li Kaifu's arrival.

Of course, some people ignored Li Kaifu's arrival and continued to work on laying mud bricks or building roofs. They looked at the Green Camp soldiers who were kneeling before Li Kaifu and looked like they were talking and laughing.

Li Kaifu calmed down and took a look, he turned out to be a Manchu soldier.

Li Kaifu couldn't help but be shocked at this moment. If Governor Yang and General Guarjia knew that their soldiers were being treated like slaves, then they wouldn't be able to blame me?

"This Zhang Rui is really brave. He is indeed a rebel and not afraid of death. Even a Manchu uncle dares to serve as a slave."

I saw Li Kaifu angrily asking the first Green Camp soldier who knelt in front of him: "What's going on? Did Zhang Rui drive you here to work and treat you like slaves? Why didn't you resist?"

"

"To report back to you, General, Sixth Brother did not force us to work, we did it voluntarily." The Green Camp soldier knocked his head on the ground and replied.

"Volunteer? What's going on? Are they like this too?"

After hearing what the Green Camp soldier said, Li Kaifu was confused. He pointed at the Manchu who seemed to be working faster and asked him:

"Yes, when they drove us here to work on the first day, we thought we were going to be slaves and that our work would be in vain. But we are prisoners after all, so we can't say anything more." The green camp soldier replied.

"As a result, they told me that I was paid for doing this work. Who would believe that anyone would pay wages to the captives? If the prisoners were not beheaded and had enough to eat, how could they expect wages? See

General, please say so!"

"Well, that's right." Kaifu Li also felt that this was a natural thing.

"Your Excellency also thinks so, which means we must have thought correctly at the time." The green camp soldier was very happy when he heard Li Kaifu's affirmation. He then said

"But on the first day, after we finished our work, they actually paid us wages, and they paid us right after we finished work in the evening. Some people were paid a hundred mosquitoes, some were only paid a few dozen, and some were paid ten

Duowen. I heard it has something to do with the diligence in working."

"Really give you wages?" Kaifu Li couldn't believe it and asked again

"It's true, and we can't believe it. But we already have the money in our hands, how can it be fake?" the green soldier replied.

"Our sixth brother has always been true to his word and never made empty words." At this time, Li Aiming on the side couldn't help but interjected.

"Yes, yes. The team officer is right." The green battalion soldier who was still kneeling on the ground replied to Li Aiming's words with some flattery and envy in his tone.

Seeing the two people standing and kneeling, Li Kaifu suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. Although it was him who was kneeling by the green camp soldier, he was also kneeling and talking to Li Aiming.

"Why do you Zhang Liu's 'soldiers' want my soldiers to answer you on their knees?"

Therefore, Kaifu Li ignored Li Aiming's words and said to the Green Camp soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, get up! You can do whatever you need to do now. I will take you back tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

………

The green camp soldiers kneeling on the ground replied, then stood up one after another and left slowly.

Li Kaifu looked at everyone leaving one after another and paid a little attention. Some people heard that they could go back tomorrow, but they actually showed some reluctance?

Kaifu Li felt very strange. So, just as the green camp soldier who had replied before was about to leave, he said to him: "Well, you, stay here first. I still have something to ask you." ①
