Chapter 296: Shameless Face
It was afternoon, Xu Ning had a simple meal at a roadside stall, and walked towards the Qingfeng City Mansion.
In most people, the government is nothing more than an ornament.
In terms of strength, it can't be compared with the major families and sects at all, in terms of power, it is just an institution responsible for the daily management of the locality, and it does not have the power to mobilize the army, and it is responsible for paying taxes every year and sending it to the royal family of Dongzhou.
The original intention of the Dongzhou Empire to set up the government was to convey the orders of the empire, but as the situation in the Soul Continent became increasingly tense, this kind of small institutions that bloomed everywhere gradually increased their functions and developed more and more.
The golden coupon in Xu Ning's hand is a bounty voucher.
While thinking and moving forward, if the things he planned were to be realized, the million gold coins seemed to be a little nervous. Don't care about these for now, if you can't do it, you can go back to Xu's house and ask your grandfather Xu Aotian to borrow a little. Although the Xu family is now a little decayed, there is still no shortage of money, and guarding the Qilin Mountain Range is like guarding a golden mountain.
After a short time, he had already arrived at the door of the "Qingfeng City Mansion".
The gate of Qingfeng City Mansion stands in the most lively place in the center of the city, on the left is the largest restaurant of the Shangguan family in the city, and on the right is the auction house of the largest Zhao family, which looks like a place to do business.
Only the guard at the door gave a little hint.
Xu Ning raised his head and glanced at the plaque, and walked in quickly.
After all, it's a government office. Although the door was noisy, it was very quiet after entering, the space inside was very large, but there were no people, a few people who seemed to be the same as the tolerance in the palace were chatting, Xu Ning thought about it and walked over.
"Big brothers, be polite!" Xu Ning arched his hand and smiled.
"Courteous, courteous! Brother, is there anything you can do? ”
"I'd like to ask, where can I get the bounty hunter's reward?"
Several people looked at Xu Ning, as if they didn't believe that this teenager was a bounty hunter.
In fact. Not really.
"Just go straight. However, I see that you are empty-handed, and you have no prisoners and no heads, so how can you lead them? ”
"Thank you!" Xu Ning smiled. There is no majority of words. Leave with your hands.
The government is divided into two layers, inside and outside. The outer layer is used to deal with some things of ordinary people in Qingfeng City, and the inside is used to entertain people in the big family. The place where the bounty hunter receives his bounty is at the junction of the inside and outside.
Xu Ning came to a window. I saw a drowsy feeling that the master was holding his chin with his hand, nodding his head incessantly, and his saliva flowed all over the table, and even his sleeves were wet.
Tapping lightly on the table, the master stood up as if he had been electrocuted.
"Master, master!" He thought it was the old man of the government who came to inspect, and he was so frightened that his little brain was covered with sweat, so he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, but the sleeve was wet and his face was full of saliva.
Xu Ning felt a little disgusted.
"Is this the place to get your bounty?"
Only then did the master realize that the person standing in front of him was a strange young man, with an arrogant and heroic face, and a little impatient. Suddenly angry, a pair of little mouse eyes glared at Xu Ning! Quickly tidying up the table, the wolf sat down.
"Who are you?" After sitting down, the master looked nonchalant.
"I'm here to receive the bounty, are you okay with your ears?!" Xu Ning looked at this kind of person and couldn't say the disgust in his heart.
"Claim the bounty? Hmph, there are still such good things in the world! ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Ning took a step closer, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the master!
There was a hint of violence in his cold eyes, this was not deliberately pretended, but a true reflection of Xu Ning's heart!
"You, hey, I'm just kidding, why are young people so impulsive!" This black mouse-like master is a typical bully and afraid of the hard, and immediately squeezed out a wicked smile.
"It's better not to make such jokes." Xu Ning said coldly.
"What about heads? What about wanted warrants? ”
"Nope!"
The master's nose was crooked when he heard this, and he stood up and said in a tricky voice: "Why give you a bounty if you don't have anything?!" Are you here to entertain Lord Ben! ”
Xu Ning was amused in his heart, a petty official the size of a sesame mung bean still claimed to be this adult? In the past, such people went to Xu's house to collect taxes, and they were as respectful as dogs.
"This can always be done!" Xu Ning said coldly, and stretched out his hand to take out the golden coupon from the patrol prison from his arms.
There is a yellow golden dragon printed on it, and the big seal of the patrol organization!
The master rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong, so he quickly took it with both hands and took a closer look, and the two little eyes almost jumped out!
"Golden Dragon Ticket! One million gold coins! ”
looked up at Xu Ning, looked down at the gold coupon again, and stretched out his hand to smack himself in the mouth!
"Oops! It's not a dream! ”
Xu Ning looked at this guy with disdain, looking down on him in his heart. Pretend to be a grandson to the people above, pretend to be an uncle to the people below, what a thing!
"If that's right, get the money ready, I still have something to do." Xu Ning said impatiently.
"This ......" The master's two little eyes turned, and he said with a smile on his face: "Wait a minute, hero, hehe, I'll come when I go!" ”
"Wait!"
Xu Ning grabbed the collar of his master's coat, slowly took the gold coupon back from his hand, and said with a smile: "It's better for me to keep this for the time being." ”
"This ...... Yes, it's yours! The expression on the master's face was very unnatural, as if he was grinding his teeth.
Xu Ning had heard of such a thing before, the so-called master was just an errand runner, after he took the voucher, he found someone to claim it casually, and those bounty hunters had no choice, because once the bounty hunter and the people of the imperial government had a dispute, he would lose his identity as a bounty hunter.
After waiting outside the door for a while, the master came running over, followed by a big man!
Xu Ning was a little puzzled, because the master's face was full of pride and arrogance. It seems that he is invincible in the world! glanced at the big man behind him, who was more than two heads taller than himself, and the muscles of his whole body were bulging, and he looked like a brave guy.
With a beard, triangular eyes, and a bloody mouth, he looks as vicious and vicious.
The master stood in front of him as if he were a monkey standing in front of a bear.
"Little brother, let's go, follow me to the vault to receive the bounty!"
The master smiled proudly. Shake your head and lead the way ahead. The big man followed behind Xu Ning, looking at him with vicious eyes all the time.
"Hmph, look what the hell you can do!"
Xu Ning didn't care, and strode behind. also kept urging the master.
To receive the bounty, you naturally have to go to the vault. Generally speaking, bounty hunters are not allowed to enter. And the usual bounty is only a few hundred gold coins at most, and a small bag is full.
One million gold coins is an astronomical amount in the bounty hunter's reward!
The vault is naturally heavily guarded. The periphery is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there is only a narrow passage after entering, and the passage is wrapped in iron nets full of spikes up and down, left and right, like a cage. At the same time, there are hundreds of mechanisms in the open and in the dark, and if someone plans to rob the vault, they will definitely be pierced into a sieve!
Walking to the door of the vault, the two fierce gatekeepers glanced at Xu Ning, said hello to the master and the big man behind him, and then pushed open the heavy door of the vault.
Give the gold coupon to the master, there are also special guards in the vault, and they will only pay the gold coins according to the number on the gold coupon, and there will be no more. The wealth in the vault is indeed very large, but it is clearly recorded.
Xu Ning was naturally not qualified to go in, so he could only wait at the door, but when he glanced inside, he couldn't help but have a side expression.
In the huge vault, the gold coins are like mountains, and the gold bricks are built into high walls! There is nothing but gold in the eyes. It's home to most of the city's wealth, not just taxes.
After a while, Dahan, under the leadership of his master, walked out of the vault, and then threw a huge box in front of Xu Ning!
"Boom!" There was a sound of gold coins shaking inside.
I have to say that the power of money in this world is very great, no matter how noble a person is, as long as he has enough money, he will definitely give up his principles. The master looked at Xu Ning and said with a sly expression: "Little brother, you have made a fortune now, haha, hurry back!" ”
Xu Ning frowned, didn't say anything, raised his foot and kicked the box on the ground, and the gold coins inside made a "whoosh" sound.
Millions of gold coins in a box will not make such a sound, and when you spend a lot of money in the auction house, you are very clear about how many gold coins should have what effect.
"I see you're mistaken, my bounty is a million gold coins!" Xu Ning's face darkened, and his tone became very cold.
"Why, it's a million here, do you still have to count it?" The master said slyly, and at the same time, he motioned to the three big men around him.
Three fierce god-like guys gathered around, glaring at Xu Ning while moving their muscles and bones.
"Do you think I haven't seen money, sir? This chest contains up to 100,000 gold coins! Xu Ning said coldly.
"100,000 gold coins is already a lot, it's better than not getting the money and losing your name again!" There was also a hint of cold light in the master's small eyes.
"I see, it was the four of you who withheld my bounty. I can understand the autumn breeze, but don't you think it's too much? Xu Ning said coldly.
"Boy, I'm already very patient with you, 100,000 gold coins are enough for you to live for a lifetime! It's just a stinky bounty hunter, will it be spent if you ask for so much money! If you don't fuck off, I'll let these three wrestlers rip your head off! The master said with a sinister face.
Xu Ning was about to be angry, but he looked left and right and suppressed his anger.
This isn't the place to mess around, well, pit me, right?!
Xu Ning sneered, and walked away with the box in one hand.
It's not that simple, for me, there is a price! (To be continued......)
