Zheng Dalang walked into the study with doubts.
Seeing that he was still holding the wooden box, Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Changzhi County didn't agree?"
Hearing this, Zheng Dalang had a strange expression. He shook his head first and then nodded.
At this moment, Mrs. Zheng was confused and asked doubtfully: "Did he agree or not?"
Putting the wooden box containing the silver collar on the desk, Zheng Dalang sat down and said, "He did not promise to write to the state government and dispatch the navy, but he said that after the archers have finished training, they will send people to suppress the bandits. And he also asked me to take the silver Brought it back."
"I didn't expect that our county magistrate would actually be an upright and honest official."
This last sentence carries a strong sense of ridicule.
hiss!
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, feeling that her mind was filled with doubts.
In her opinion, writing to the state government and dispatching the navy was just a piece of cake for Changzhi County, and it would not have any impact on herself.
Just write a memorial and get 500 yuan, but the other party will refuse such a good thing.
Instead, he plans to train his own troops to suppress bandits...
"This Chang Yukun...could he have been hit by something evil?"
After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Zheng held back these words.
Wu Yan on the side agreed: "It looks similar to me."
It doesn't make sense.
A timid and greedy man on weekdays suddenly transformed into a selfless and good official with a clear mind.
They really couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation for this change other than being evil.
Mrs. Zheng asked again: "Did he really say he wanted to suppress bandits?"
"That's true."
Zheng Dalang nodded.
Combined with this period of time, the county government showed that hundreds of local warriors and archers were recruited, and there seemed to be some signs of suppressing bandits.
For a moment, the three of them looked strange.
Dong Dong~
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
After coming back to her senses, Mrs. Zheng gave an order.
The study door was pushed open, and the old housekeeper leaned half in and reported: "Madam, we have a visitor."
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said, "Bring me to the study."
Seeing that the old housekeeper didn't move, she couldn't help but frown and scolded: "What are you doing standing still?"
The old housekeeper looked at Zheng Dalang and Wu Yan with a troubled expression, and reminded: "Madam, we are guests from the mountain."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Dalang understood. He stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"I'm leaving too."
Wu Yan also stood up.
Not long after the two left, a strong man wearing shorts and a bamboo hat walked into the study.
After the old housekeeper served him a cup of fragrant tea, he exited the study and stood guard by the door.
Mrs. Zheng looked at the other party coldly and asked, "Why are you here?"
The strong man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a ferocious face.
I saw a very long scar on his cheek, from the right forehead to the left chin, like a ferocious centipede lying on his face.
If the scar were to tilt even further, I'm afraid the right eye would not be saved.
"The head of the family heard that Master Xu was killed by bandits and ordered a certain family to come to express condolences."
The strong man cupped his hands, then stood up and drank from the teacup in front of him, completely ignoring that the tea had just been brewed.
"That's true." Mrs. Zheng sneered.
The strong man didn't care about Mrs. Zheng's attitude.
Putting down the tea cup, he said: "Mrs. Zheng, now that Master Xu is dead, will the business continue?"
Mrs. Zheng said sternly: "Continue naturally! Although my husband has passed away, the Xu family has not collapsed yet, so we can do whatever we want!"
This business accounts for a large part of the Xu family's income, how could she give up.
When Master Xu was still alive, he secretly colluded with Li Tianwang on the Black Mountain.
Master Xu is responsible for providing information, while King Li is responsible for taking action.
The stolen goods were then sold by Master Xu, and part of them was converted into salt, iron, grain and other supplies and sent to Montenegro.
"Mrs. Zheng is really a woman who will not be outdone by men!"
The strong man smiled and praised, then changed his voice and said: "But Mrs. Zheng, should we recalculate this account?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng said in a cold tone: "Is this your intention or Li Heihu's?"
The strong man replied: "Of course it means being the master."
"What percentage does he want to get?"
"Eighty percent!"
Snapped!
The tea cup fell heavily to the ground and immediately fell into pieces, and even a piece of broken porcelain flew on the strong man's body.
The next moment, the study door was pushed open, and several guards rushed in with knives, surrounding the strong man.
As long as Mrs. Zheng gives an order, she will chop the opponent to death.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
The old housekeeper asked with concern, but stared at the strong man fiercely.
Glancing at the guards surrounding him, the strong man dusted off the fragments on his lapel and said, "Mrs. Zheng, your anger hurts your liver."
"You go out first."
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand.
After the nursing home exited again, she sneered and said: "It's 80% impossible. Go back and tell Li Heihu. Don't think that my husband is dead, and orphans and widowed mothers are easy to bully. The worst is to break up. The Xu family can't afford to cut off a piece of property." Road, but if what you did is revealed, I’m afraid it won’t be Zhen Haijun who will be suppressed, but the Western Army on Qin Feng Road!”
She knew that the other party was evil, but she didn't expect that Li Heihu would be so greedy.
When Master Xu was here, the Xu family accounted for 60%. As soon as Master Xu died, Li Heihu immediately opened his mouth and demanded 80%.
Hearing this, the strong man's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a sneer: "Mrs. Zheng, why do you have to make it so tense? As for business, we always need to talk more."
"At most 50%."
"Mrs. Zheng, fifty percent is too little. You have to be considerate of us. There are so many brothers on the mountain now, and it costs a lot for people to eat horse chews. Let's just say seventy and a half percent."
After some bickering and haggling, the price was finally settled at 64 points.
Mrs. Zheng also understands that today is different from the past. Once Master Xu dies, the importance of their Xu family will not be so important.
"Sixty percent is sixty percent, but you have to agree to one condition."
The strong man warned: "It depends on the conditions."
"It shouldn't be difficult for you. Help me kill someone."
"who?"
"Han Er, this is the guy who killed my husband. This man is quite brave and is no match for ordinary people, and he has now escaped into the mountains."
After hearing her conditions, the strong man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zheng, this matter will be easy for a certain family. In less than ten days, Han Er's head will be delivered as a sacrifice to Master Xu."
Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways.
For others, it is indeed difficult to find a person escaping into the vast mountains.
But for these bandits who dominate the mountain, it is extremely easy.
Although Heishan is a hundred miles away from Linzi County, the name Li Tianwang is still very popular among the bandits in this area.
Just give a few instructions and the brothers on the green forest road will help you find him.
As for being brave, the strong man didn't care at all.
"I can't stay long, so I'll take my leave first."
The strong man put on his bamboo hat again, opened the door and left the study.
