Chapter 1062 Sent to the Military Camp
Chapter 1062 Sent to the Military Camp
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground involuntarily, moaning continuously.
The whole family was so frightened seeing him being tortured like this that they dared not breathe.
Old man Zhang felt sorry for his son. He was already old, and now he looked ten years older. He looked at Zhou Guo and asked, "What will the boss want in exchange for letting our family go?"
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows, "Old man Zhang, when you and your family betrayed me, didn't you ever think about this day? You all rode on my head and pissed and shit, and you still want me to let you go?
If I let you go so easily, wouldn't my subordinates follow suit? Even if it has come to this, the master won't do anything to you, but my house will be robbed, you might think so!"
Old man Zhang looked pale and dejected.
“Then, then, what do we have to do in order for them to let us go?” The whole family was in despair. After listening for so long, they realized how serious this matter was.
Zhou Guo said: "Well, you need to tell me everything you have done to the people you have come into contact with during this period. After that, I can spare your life."
"Really? Is it true, boss?" Hope ignited in the eyes of the family.
Old man Zhang kowtowed to her and said, "Thank you very much, Master. Thank you very much, Master. We will tell you everything we know."
She looked at the children and women and said, "You too, you must tell me who you met, what you said, what you heard, and what you saw during this period of time. If anyone misses a word, one of you will be left alive."
"Yes, yes, we got it, woooo, thank you very much, Boss."
Zhou Guo nodded to Hu Zi.
Hu Zi waved his hand, and the people in the hall carried these people away.
Hu Zi frowned and said, "Master, are you really going to let them go?"
Zhou Guo took a sip of tea, talked for a long time, and felt thirsty.
After hearing his words, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I only said to spare their lives, but I didn't say to let them go."
This family did such a big thing secretly and exposed her Song County's secrets. How could she let it go like this? There are so many eyes watching outside. If she let it go like this, who will take her seriously in the future?
Hu Zi said: "That's good, I thought you were going to let them go, then what are you going to do with these people?"
Zhou Guodong put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "It's simple. Send them all to the border to do hard labor. Whether they can survive depends on their own abilities."
The weather in Yunzhou is bitterly cold, and it is even worse at the border. Those who can do hard labor at the border are all criminals who have been sent there as punishment, and they usually do not live for more than a few years.
This family all came from a poor background and were expected to live longer than others. That was just right, as there just happened to be someone to do these jobs.
Hu Zi said: "It's a bargain for them."
According to him, pulling out the tendons and bones of these people was considered a light punishment. They even let the culprit go and sent him to the border. Maybe the whole family could survive. It was really a bargain.
Zhou Guo shook his head, "This is not an easy job."
Although Zhou Dacang and the others had never told her about the things that happened in the military camp, it was not like she had never been to a military camp before. She had dealt with everyone from generals to privates and had spoken to them all, so she knew a thing or two about the situation there.
Soon, the whole family explained everything.
Zhou Guo looked at the thing in his hand carefully. Although he said a lot of things, he said all that needed to be said.
With this thing in her hand, she has the capital to negotiate with the Wang family. She can get back double what she lost. If it doesn't work, she still has several thousand Xu family soldiers who have just come out of the border.
After all, it seemed like she didn't lose anything in the end.
They only knew a little bit about the recipe for making compost, and the experimental site was leaked.
But the experimental land is nothing more than some methods of farming. It doesn't matter if this is known. Since the Wang family can have such grain varieties, they may also have experimental land.
Moreover, the grains on top were all from salty and bitter land. The Wang family disdained the salty and bitter land and could not even get the grain seeds.
All in all, that's where the loss lies.
She has to ask the Wang family to return it.
On the third day, Old Man Zhang and his family were sent to the North with great fanfare. They had nothing on their bodies except a few old clothes, just like when they first arrived in the North.
When they were leaving, the whole family knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and begging Zhou Guo for forgiveness and asking for another chance.
He was dragged away after just a few knocks, crying all the way north.
After going around in circles for several years, we are back to the beginning.
The farms and shops under the Zhou family took the opportunity to carry out a major cleanup. As expected, there were still many spies mixed in, and they were all cleared out at this opportunity.
Those who know less will be let go, and those who know more will never see tomorrow's sun.
Everyone in the Zhou family was in a panic, fearing that they would be kicked out. If they were kicked out, there would be no chance of finding another master as generous as the Zhou family.
Zhou Guo held the list in his hand and smiled: "They really think highly of me. It's only been a few years, and they have stuffed so many people into my place. This person is actually one of theirs?"
Hu Zi said: "Yes, there are quite a lot. In fact, I asked them and they all thought our family was pretty good. If they didn't have family members in the hands of the main family, they would be more willing to be members of the Zhou family."
Zhou Guo didn't believe it.
When the old man heard that she had cleared out all the spies, he was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say before that it was more reassuring to have spies around? Why did you clear them out? As soon as you clear them out, they might send someone else."
Zhou Guo said: "Now I have people coming from the border, and I won't recruit people from outside in the short term. Short-term workers just do farm work on the farm, and they don't come into contact with these things. They can come anytime they want. But these people are different, they know a lot."
Now that I know, I can’t keep it.
Other people in the north who were watching secretly saw that Zhou Guo had sent his entire family to the military camp, and only a handful of spies from each family could come back, and the rest disappeared without a trace.
He was still frightened and said, "This girl is really ruthless. The border is the world of the Xu family. They have entered the military camp. They can only live and not die."
"The whole family has not been spared from childhood to old age. How cruel! And the child, who is only seven or eight years old, will also be sent away. What's wrong with letting them go?"
"That's just a woman's opinion! To do great things, one must be ruthless. So many people are watching. If she doesn't do it so ruthlessly, how can she live a peaceful life in the future? This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey! What do you know, woman?"
People in the north knew that other families had also sold fertilizer during this period, and they sold it cheaper than the Zhou family.
They also bought some privately. Although it was visibly not as good as Zhou’s, it was cheaper.
Moreover, word was quietly circulating among the wealthy families in the North that General Xu had been defeated at the front and his life or death was unknown; the situation in the North was about to change.
The Zhou family won’t be able to survive for long, and sooner or later, everything in the Zhou family will belong to them.
