"When did Liangjiang become like this?! Damn it! "Square-faced cursed in a low voice.
"Squeak squeak!" Just then, a squeak came from the front.
Square-faced looked over and saw a squirrel standing in front of him, waving a piece of paper at him.
The square-faced man was stunned. What was going on? Squirrel? Still holding a piece of paper? From the looks of it, it isn't afraid of humans … Wait, why does this squirrel look so familiar? Isn't this the monk's squirrel? Why did it chase after me?
Although he had a stomach full of doubts, the square-faced man still squatted down and took the white paper. On it was written: "This poor monk is fated with you. If you have the time, why don't you head north more often?"
"What do you mean?" Square-faced looked at Squirrel, perplexed.
Squirrel flicked his tail and ran off.
Square-faced man was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He put away the paper and muttered, "This handwriting is very beautiful. It's majestic and awe-inspiring. The handwriting is like the person, so he shouldn't be a bad person. If I have the chance, I should go for a walk in the north." Even so, Square-faced man still looked back and finally left.
At the same time, by the river.
"What, twelve thousand? Didn't you just say ten thousand? "Jie Yu's exclamation alarmed Fangzheng.
Fangzheng immediately walked over to check on the situation.
Prison stared at Daguang with a flushed face. However, Daguang didn't say anything. The one who spoke was Ghosthead. Ghosthead patted the deck and said, "Cut the crap, do you want twelve thousand? If not, we're leaving. If we delay any longer and delay our fishing, we'll have to pay 13,000, 14,000 yuan! "
"You guys are taking advantage of the situation!" Jie Hui was also angry. Taking someone else's corpse and asking for a sky-high price, was this still something a human would do?
"Bai Wenshui, don't go overboard!" Someone spoke up for Jie Hui.
"I don't know if it's too much or not. All I know is that our brothers can't work for nothing. Since all of you are so impressive, why don't I throw him in while you fish him out yourself? "Bai Wenshui said with a fake smile.
Everyone was furious when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do. Although everyone wanted to do that, without a boat, how were they going to fish people out? Fishing someone out was different from saving someone. They were two completely different things!
"Look, all of you are good at talking, but when I ask you to fight, you can't do it. Let me tell you, this is the price today! Take it or leave it, but don't throw it away! "Bai Wenshui shouted.
Everyone glared angrily, yearning to beat Bai Wenshui up. However, everyone also knew that hitting Bai Wenshui was useless. He had played a watertight game. No one knew what had happened above the water. He had indeed expended manpower and resources to salvage the ship. Regardless of where he went, he would be paid for his hard work. But the request in front of him was simply too outrageous!
On the other side, Jie Hui was also very angry. 12,000 was not a small amount. She could take it out, but what about after that?
Jie Yu was also silent. Jie Yu had just graduated from university and had yet to find a job. He wanted to help Jie Hui, but he was powerless.
When Fangzheng saw this, he held back his anger. He took a deep breath and took a step forward. He said with a smile, "Patron, This Penniless Monk will pay for you."
"What?!" The crowd burst into an uproar!
Jie Hui stood rooted to the ground in disbelief. Although Twin River City was famous for being warm-hearted, this was the first time she had heard of someone taking out so much money for others.
Daguang frowned when he saw Fangzheng. He secretly said to Bai Wenshui, "Brother Bai, this monk isn't a local. He looks unfamiliar. Be careful."
"What's there to be careful about? Who can see what happens above the water? Who can say for sure? We won't say anything. We are good people who are here to salvage the ship! Even if we are good people, we can't do it for free, right? If he likes to stand out, so be it. Whose money isn't earned? "Bai Wenshui whispered.
Daguang nodded slightly.
"Master, I … I don't know you. You …" Jie Hui felt a little embarrassed. She could afford the money, but it would probably be difficult for her to live in the future. However, she also felt bad accepting a gift from someone else.
Fangzheng smiled. "It's fate that we met. Patron, there's no need to think too much about it. This Penniless Monk will help you pay."
With that said, Fangzheng took out a stack of money from under his monk robes. Without counting, he handed it to Ghosthead and said with a smile, "Here's the money. Bring the person up."
Ghosthead did not say a word when he received the money. Instead, he began counting. It would have been fine if he hadn't counted, but there was 13,000! Ghosthead's eyes lit up as he warily glanced at Fangzheng. Noticing that Fangzheng did not seem to realize that he had given too much money, an idea came to him. He immediately took the money and smiled. "I've taken the money. Just you wait. I'll get the person for you." Little did he know that Fangzheng had deliberately given him so much and feigned ignorance so that they would release the person cleanly and avoid further trouble. In the water, regardless of life or death, a person would suffer in the end.
Furthermore, the money was fake. Fangzheng could afford any amount.
With that said, Ghosthead jumped onto the boat and immediately whispered into Bai Wenshui's ear. Bai Wenshui whispered. "Are you sure it's real money?"
"It's absolutely true! I can tell if it's fake just by touching it! "said Ghosthead.
Bai Wenshui laughed as well. He immediately said, "Master, you sure are straightforward. We can't be too petty. Quick, get the person up!"
Daguang and company immediately responded. They pulled the fishing net up and threw it onto the boat. Inside the net was Lin Zhixian.
Daguang checked Lin Zhixian's breathing. There was no breathing, and there was no pulse. After confirming that he was dead, he gave Bai Wenshui a reassuring look. Bai Wenshui got Ghosthead and Daguang to carry Lin Zhixian ashore.
At that moment, police cars and ambulances arrived. After the doctor checked, he shook his head at Jie Hui, causing her to faint on the spot.
The police arrested Bai Wenshui and company.
"Why are you arresting me? We didn't do a thing! We even fished him out. If you don't give us a big red flower and a certificate, there's no need to give us money, right? "Ghosthead yelled.
"If there's anything, we can talk when we return to the station." The police glared at them. Clearly, they abhorred the few of them.
"Officer, let's return to the station. There's no need to go through all the trouble, right?" Bai Wenshui smiled shamelessly. Clearly, he was already accustomed to such arrests. He knew what he had done. It was flawless and flawless! The person had drowned, and he had saved the person. However, the person had died after being saved. It would be useless even if God came. Without evidence, wouldn't they be released after being imprisoned?
The police couldn't be bothered to waste their breath on them. They stuffed the two leaders, Bai Wenshui and Ghosthead, into the police car and sped off. As for the others, including Daguang, they were not arrested.
Fangzheng understood that Bai Wenshui and company had already turned the area into a foul atmosphere. It was infuriating, but these people had been on the water their entire lives. Furthermore, they were very shrewd. Even the police could not find any evidence against them. Even if they hated them, there was nothing they could do. The police had arrested them mostly because they were angry. They arrested them to vent their anger.
