Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

Mr. Gao nodded and continued.

"The Dong brothers are refugees from outside. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother Dong joined the army, and the moral decline of the world, most of the men in the town went to work in the mines, no one would listen to the old man's words, and I don't think they would let the eldest brother Dong open such a place at his doorstep."

"Then who are the current heads of the Li and Jia families?"

"The head of the Jia clan doesn't live in the town for most of the year. He only comes back during the rainy season. His family mainly travels on the trade route, so he only comes back when he's on business."

"Didn't you say it's hard to leave now? And are there any robbers?"

"Yes, if someone goes out on a business trip by himself, something bad will happen. But his family hired a bodyguard, and although he can only go out once or twice a year, if he goes with them on a business trip, then it will be fine. Of course, this will cost money."

"Understood"

"The one who usually interacts with the Jia family is the clan leader's second brother, Jia Sidao. However, I heard that the one who really manages things over there is his sister-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia clan leader."

"Eldest daughter-in-law? Is there a difference between the older and younger ones? Isn't it different from the Han ethnic group's rules?"

Qin Qiong was stunned when he heard this. Is there such a thing?

"It's not quite the same. We consider the wife as the principal wife and the concubine as the concubine. The distinction is clear. Here, as long as a man is willing, he can marry anyone. There is only a difference in age. They are all wives, and boys also have inheritance rights."

"So 'advanced'? No, this only protects the rights of men, what about women?"

Mr. Gao looked at her strangely. What did she mean? He didn't understand.

"Huh? What?"

"……never mind"

Qin Qiong didn't want to say anything more. He was so angry.

"Go on," she waved.

"Okay... The head of the Li clan lives in our area. He is also the head of the largest village in this area. He is upright and fair, and he helps the Li clan members a lot. He has a high prestige in this town."

"He has five sons and two daughters, all of whom are married. He himself has received some education and has a good relationship with Mr. Zhang. However, his family is also average... So when Mr. Zhang fell ill, Xiu Gu was anxious and had no choice but to borrow money from the Dong mother and son..."

"I see, so this Li family is not bad"

"Yes, so as long as we establish a good relationship with him, we can stand firm in this place."

"You said there are two such dark spots in this area. Who are they?"

"They were all set up by refugees, not by these two families. One of them seems to be opened by the soldier's account in the mine, so his business is the best now."

"How much do you know about our prison camp? Tell me."

"I don't know much about that place. In fact, it can be said that it is independent of this town. Most of them use money to survive when they first arrive. After a while, they either try to return to Beijing or escape."

When Mr. Gao heard this, he lowered his head and lowered his voice.

"If there is no other way, in the end... it's death. I've never heard of a family that can take root and live forever."

"That's how it is, with people coming and going, so most people in town don't mess with the people there."

"Is that so? Then what about this Prince An Ning and this Ming Kingdom? Tell me?"

Qin Qiong frowned.

"The current Prince An Ning is a descendant of the Hong family. It was not easy. In the past, Emperor Yelu enfeoffed sixteen princes of different surnames. After so many years, the fighting among the princes, plus the recovery of the princes by Yelu, now there are only four princes left. It is amazing that the Hong family can still control this land."

"So, the king of Ming is named Yelu, and the place we are in is the fiefdom of the king named Hong? Then we are also ruled by the king named Hong, right?"

"This is the most chaotic place, and it is also the best protection for you. Although you are criminals, the imperial capital is too far away to control this place, and King An Ning cannot control you. As long as you don't go too far, no one can control our "gang"."

"I see. For us, being recognized by the townspeople is much more important than being recognized by the government, right?"

"Yes, as long as it is handled properly, everyone will have no problem living. It all depends on what Boss Qin thinks. Boss Qin, do you really want to stay here forever?"

"Hey hey... where are you talking about?"

Qin Qiong smiled.

"Boss Qin is decisive and righteous. He has the appearance of an immortal, the means to kill, and the courage to swallow mountains and rivers."

"I think this place can't hold you. I can see that Boss Qin is definitely not an ordinary person. I am a humble man, but I am willing to follow him!"

Mr. Gao bowed to Qin Qiong very solemnly.

"So smart? You can see so much after meeting me once? You're a genius. But if you want to leave with me, you have to have some real skills."

"Besides, we all need to have trust in each other. You know everything about me, what about you?"

Qin Qiong looked at Gao Tingxuan with a smile.

"I don't know anything, but you just come up with an idea and want me to take you in, to help you get ahead, to help you get ahead. Do you think I'm that easy to talk to?"

Mr. Gao was about to speak, but Qin Qiong raised his hand and told him not to speak yet.

She stared into his eyes and continued, "If you want to go the same way, then tell me the truth. What I value most is loyalty and trust. Why? How did you get here? What happened to your wife and daughter? What do you want?"

When Gao Tingxuan heard Qin Qiong's words, he couldn't help but look up at the woman.

It was still the same person who almost killed him yesterday, but at this moment, the sun was pouring in through the window, and most of the woman's face was reflected in the sun.

There was a hint of smile in her eyes, no longer cold, and there was a hint of teasing at the corners of her mouth.

There was no indifference and cruel look from last night.

She doesn't seem so scary anymore.

In fact, she is beautiful.

he thinks……

Can he trust her? Can he trust and depend on this person?

Qin Qiong did not rush him. She was not anxious. She believed that this person would tell the truth, because...

He wants something.

"My ancestors came to the Ming Dynasty with the Han army and were the first Grand Historian of the Ming Dynasty."

Mr. Gao lowered his head and began to speak in a low voice.

"Later, we went to the fiefdom of the current King? Ko, where my family set up a craftsman school and lived a good life. I also had the opportunity to travel to some distant countries and saw some of the world."

"My father had a good friend who was a scholar from a small Buddhist country. There was a riot in that small country, so his family fled to our home. His daughter... became my future wife."

Gao Tingxuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her eyes are as crystal clear as grapes, shining with such a strange brilliance. Her smile can make the mountains prostrate at her feet. Her singing is the sound of nature. When she dances, even the wind will keep the rhythm with her."

"When we were together, I felt that the sky was made of gems, the water was intoxicating, and the wind was sweet..."

He looked at the window with some obsession.
