The next day...
It was the day when Jiang Yifeng and the county governor set out for Luoyi.
Su Yingxue didn't come as mentioned before, and Shishi didn't come either, but the Song family, the Zhao family, the Wang family... and many other families came.
No matter how you say it, the county governor is going to Luoyi to report on his duties this time, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to come back. The family in Su City must still be able to live up to their reputation.
"Old Wang, do you think my one hundred taels of silver is a bit too much?"
While waiting, Song Shoucai approached Wang Zhilou with a distressed expression on his face.
"many?"
Wang Zhilou glanced at Song Shoucai and said with disdain: "According to the previous discussion, a family of your Song family's size will give you three thousand taels of silver. Three hundred taels is the level given by small families. You can take one hundred taels." Where is the money?"
After hearing this, Song Shoucai didn't feel ashamed and said distressedly: "Although that is the case, I used to give stones!"
To be honest, Song Shoucai initially planned to pretend to be sick and not come, but the bastard in his family refused to agree.
In order to prevent his son from shaking his head and sighing every time he saw him, he could only endure the pain of cutting flesh and prepared a hundred taels of silver.
This is one hundred taels of silver!
If it were used to buy a box for stones, it would be enough to send to the county governor for at least several hundred years.
"hehe……"
Wang Zhilou sneered and moved his feet to the side, not wanting to get too close to Song Shoucai.
Seeing this situation, Song Shoucai was about to walk over when a long team came towards the city gate.
The team has a large lineup, with more than 500 soldiers alone, and a long motorcade. However, the items on them are not all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Most of them are items that are unfortunately discarded and left useless.
I have to admit that the county governor really confiscated many gifts during his years in Sioux City.
The carriage at the front stopped, and the county guard opened the sedan curtain and asked, knowingly: "Family heads, what do you mean?"
"Lord Sheriff, we will see you off."
Wang Zhilou entered the scene in a second, with tears in his eyes, and walked quickly to the county governor, "The county governor has been in charge of Jiujiang County for many years, and the people of Jiujiang County live and work in peace and contentment, and do not pick up things on the road..."
Regardless of whether the governor did a good job or not, it's time to say goodbye. Wang Zhilou said all the good things he could.
After hearing these words, the county guard became embarrassed even though he was very thick-skinned.
"...I have to say goodbye after a long journey. This is a little bit of my heart. I hope you don't dislike it."
With that said, Wang Zhilou ordered someone to bring up the silver he wanted to give and placed it in front of the county guard.
"Master Wang, I am the county guard, and my duty is to let the people of Jiujiang County..."
The county guard also spoke politely, and finally looked at the box, shook his head and refused: "Those are what I should do. I can't accept these coins, otherwise it will be a bribe."
"Sir, you are serious. How can this be a bribe?"
Zhao Xu shook his head and walked forward and said: "We have been friends with you for a long time. The county governor is here to say goodbye. It is a long journey. This is the expense we give you."
"Master Zhao is right, this is the payment we gave you."
"The cost in Luoyi is much more expensive than in Su City. It's a good idea to have some money on hand."
"Your Excellency has been managing Su City for many years. We can't let you tremble anymore, so we must accept the money no matter what."
All the family heads stepped forward and placed the money they wanted to give away in front of the county guard.
The county guard looked at the boxes one by one, his eyes shining, he was happy and pretended to be helpless at the same time.
"In this case, I will reluctantly accept it. Thank you all the heads of the family."
The Sheriff bowed to everyone.
"Sir, I give this to you."
At this moment, Song Shoucai squeezed through the crowd, panted and came to the county guard, and took out a money bag.
If it weren't for all the respectable people present, he would really want to curse them.
These dogs were so fast, and there were servants helping to move things, so he almost rushed forward, and he was the last one to give gifts.
The last person to give a gift was not ashamed, but the shameful thing was that he only gave a hundred taels of silver.
He was planning to fish in troubled waters before, but now he is going to be executed in public.
"A rock again?"
The Sheriff looked at the money bag and his first thought was that it contained stones.
no way!
He had received stones from Song Shoucai for so many years, and he had already developed a stress reaction. When he saw Song Shoucai giving gifts, he thought they were stones.
"It's not stone, it's silver."
Song Shoucai deliberately stated the word 'silver' very clearly, lest others make a mistake.
"silver!"
The county guard raised his eyebrows and quickly opened the money bag and saw the silver in it.
Then, his eyes turned red and became moist.
Oh my God!
After all these years, he finally stopped giving me stones.
Although Song Shoucai only spent one hundred taels of silver, in the eyes of the county governor, these one hundred taels of silver were more valuable than ten thousand taels of silver.
Too expensive!
As a result, the county guard said politely, "Master Song, look at you. I'm already very touched that people can come. Why do you still give gifts..."
"Sir, if you think I shouldn't give you a gift, please return the money to me."
Song Shoucai didn't wait for the county magistrate to finish what he said, and suddenly spoke.
"..."
The county guard was speechless on the spot.
He really wanted to ask Song Shoucai if he knew what his mother's politeness meant...
I'm just being polite to you, you're going to take the fucking money back, can you still save some face?
Of course, the question he faced now was, should he return the silver?
If he returns Song Shoucai's one hundred taels of silver, if other families say the same thing, wouldn't he also have to return the silver taels?
"Sir, Master Song is joking with you."
Just when the county guard didn't know what to say, Jiang Yifeng walked up.
Immediately afterwards, before Song Shoucai could say that he was not joking, Jiang Yifeng waved his hand and saw dozens of workers carrying a large number of boxes and placing them in front of the county guard.
"Open!"
Jiang Yifeng spoke calmly.
After the order was given, each box was opened, revealing ingots of white silver inside.
Seeing so much money, all the family heads widened their eyes, especially Song Shoucai. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have pounced on it.
"Sir, this is the Su family's intention. Please accept it."
Jiang Yifeng glanced at everyone and said to the county guard.
"..."
The county code was speechless for a while.
If there weren't other people at the scene, he really wanted to ask Jiang Yifeng if he wanted to be shameless?
The promised one million taels of silver turned out to be only 100,000 taels. You still have to blame it on the Su family.
You earned the face, but let me suffer all the losses.
but……
He couldn't tell the truth, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Thank you...the Su family..."
"My lord, you're welcome."
Jiang Yifeng grinned.
