Chapter 1194 Willing to Do the Gold and Silver Collection
Feng Jiu heard it clearly this time.
Feng Jiu hurriedly took out the list he was carrying and handed it to the short, fat subordinate behind him.
The short, fat man had one notable characteristic: he had a loud voice!
Therefore, it's just right for him to call people from the list.
The short, fat man had been bowing and scraping behind Feng Jiu for quite some time, and now it was finally his turn to step forward and show his face.
It was just a matter of asking him to read out the names on the list in public. Look at the short, fat man's flattered expression, as if he had received some wonderful job. His oily, fat face was practically glowing!
The short, fat man swayed his obese body forward a few steps, solemnly unfolded the paper with twenty-seven names written on it, cleared his throat, and said, "Brothers who heard me call out their names, come over here!"
After saying that, the short, fat man started calling out to Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermazi one by one.
Those whose names he called quickly stepped forward one after another, approaching Feng Jiu and the tall, thin man, and standing with them;
Those soldiers whose names were not called remained standing in place, some with blank stares and others with disdain.
It was clear that those whose names were called all seemed to have a sense of superiority on their faces, as if they were a grade above the guards who were not called!
There were twenty-seven people on the list, including Feng Jiu and his two subordinates, one tall and one short.
At this moment, all of them stood together, their faces beaming with joy.
Whether it was due to an oversight by Feng Jiu and the other two, or because they simply didn't consider Ding Si one of their own, Ding Si's name was not on the list.
Ding Si, standing next to Du Feng, had been listening intently, but even after the short, fat man finished reading the list and handed it back to Feng Jiu, he still hadn't heard his name called out.
Ding Si felt both puzzled and a little wronged.
As Ding Si listened to the names being read aloud by the short, fat man, he gradually began to understand the underlying meaning...
The people on this list are all in cahoots with Feng Jiu and his group, and they are the ones who listen to Feng Jiu the most.
Ding Si thought to himself... he had never disobeyed or offended them in any way!
Besides, can't they see it?
It's surprising how much this important person values me!
Why isn't my name on the list?
Ding Si thought that even if his name wasn't on the list, he should still be considered part of that group!
With that thought in mind, Ding Si shuffled along... and in the blink of an eye, he was over to Feng Jiu, standing next to the tall, thin man as if to show his identity.
Leng Rongyue and the other two saw Ding Si's actions and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly—Heh! There really are people in this world who are eager to die!
Du Feng's name is also on the list.
Although Du Feng heard the short, fat man call out his name at the very end, he remained standing there expressionless and motionless.
As Du Feng listened to the short, fat man read out the names on the list one by one, he understood that these were people who were close to Feng Jiu and his group, and that they were in cahoots with them, a den of snakes and rats.
He usually disdained associating with these people, but he dared not offend them easily, so he simply kept his distance from them.
It seems that... the reason they were able to place their names at the end of the list today is because they were the ones accompanying the dignitary with the waist token of Deputy Commander Hou Gui; they thought they had caught the dignitary's eye.
They clearly only wrote their names down because of the important person they were dealing with.
I never bothered associating with them before, and now I'm even less likely to get entangled with them again!
The guards whose names were called, except for Du Feng who was still standing behind the nobleman's male bodyguard, all gathered together.
Twenty-seven pairs of eyes—uh… one pair of eyes was forcibly placed on Ding Si!
All twenty-seven pairs of eyes looked expectantly at the masked nobleman standing in the center.
"Feng Jiu, double-check that there are no more of our own men among the remaining guards?"
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye asked in a calm tone.
Feng Jiu and his companions glanced at the guards opposite them again, then turned to Xiao Jingye and shook their heads. "Your Highness, there are indeed none left!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Jingye nodded and ordered, "Feng Jiu, stay!"
You two…
Xiao Jingye raised his hand slightly and pointed at the two men, one fat and one thin, "Quickly take these people into the house. You don't need to worry about things outside!"
"Once things are settled here, pack your things as soon as possible and leave this place with me!"
"Yes!
"Your Highness, I will obey your orders!"
The two, one fat and one thin, quickly agreed.
What Feng Jiu and the others were thinking was... that the prince was going to kill... no, he was going to deal with the remaining guards and laborers!
I wonder what method the prince will use!
Slashing? Poisoning? Burying alive? ...
In short, no matter how those soldiers and laborers are dealt with, it's better for the prince not to let them watch, lest they be frightened into having nightmares later!
Besides thinking about these things, Feng Jiu was also wondering how to move his several large boxes later.
If Leng Rongyue knew what Feng Jiu was thinking, she would be very happy to say, "You don't need to worry about that. This princess is more than happy to take care of things like collecting gold and silver!"
