Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Steward of Qin, who is in arrears

After entering Mengjiazhuang, a table of meat was set up on the roof of the gatehouse, ready to drink and eat meat in the afterglow of the sunset.

Qin Chuan called Wang Jizong, Song Zhiting and Luo Daniu, while Hu Dawei only brought the junior official who had been here last time, who was the capital of Shanxi and commanded the envoys, surnamed Luo.

As soon as he went up to the top of the gatehouse, Luo Dushi arched his hand towards Qin Chuan, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Qin Patrol for his new appointment and a great contribution. ”

"Lord Luo has lifted it." Qin Chuan also smiled and arched his hand.

"Inspector Qin, please take the edict document and the official body waist card."

As he spoke, Luo Dushi took out a scroll from his bosom, as well as an inconspicuous wooden plaque, raised his hands flat, and held them in front of him.

Qin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward, took the scroll and waist card with both hands, and solemnly thanked Luo Dushi.

Then, he took a closer look at the waist card, and couldn't see what kind of wood it was, only to see that the front was engraved with "Military Department", and the following was written from right to left "Lou Fu Inspection Division Patrol Envoy Qin Chuan", and there was a string of capital numbers engraved next to it.

After seeing that the waist card was nothing special, Qin Chuan directly put it in his pocket, unfolded the scroll again, and when he saw the traditional Chinese characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it, his head was big for a while, and he only glanced at it cursoly, and handed the scroll to Wang Jizong on the side.

"Thank you Luo Dushi, thank you Lord Tiger."

Qin Chuan bowed his hand to Luo Dushi and Hu Dawei again and thanked him.

Song Zhiting, who was on the side, took out two pieces of silver very cleverly, and handed them to Luo Dushi and Hu Dawei with both hands with a smile.

Hu Dawei was very happy, took the silver and stuffed it into his pocket.

Luo Dushi's face was a little unnatural, because Qin Chuan took the edict document and the waist card, and did not bow down in the direction of the capital and thank the emperor.

But he still politely accepted the money, only hesitating in his heart whether to tell the commander or Futai about it.

"Qin Chuan, let's talk about it, how much silver does Guo Yan's head and those thousand heads cost?" As soon as Hu Dawei sat down, he asked in a rough voice.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to answer, but cut off a piece of meat with a knife, dipped it in some green salt and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil, and then he smiled: "When Lord Tiger attacked and killed Zhang Kewang, he surrendered a lot of war horses, right?" ”

"You want a war horse?"

"Yes, that's the number." Qin Chuan stretched out three fingers.

Hu Dawei's eyes widened: "Three hundred? ”

"Yes, three hundred good horses, and I'll have to pick them."

"You really dare to open your mouth, three hundred good war horses are worth seven thousand taels of silver, can you be Guo Yan's head inlaid with gold?"

"Ahem, Lord Hu took those horses from Mengjiazhuang last time, and they are worth a lot of money."

"Hey, you kid should have a heart for it, right?"

"Don't dare, Lord Tiger can calculate it himself, the head of an old bandit is three taels of silver, and Guo Yan's head is also five thousand taels of silver......

"Whew! Can a human head be sold for three taels of silver? Do you think you're selling a pig? For a small role like Guo Yan, who has no more than a thousand people under his command, the head can be worth five hundred taels to the sky."

"Last time, I sold three hundred heads to Lord He of Jingle Zhi County, and I got seven hundred taels of silver, so Lord Hu calculated how much it was worth."

"Hehe, then you take it and sell him, don't say seven thousand taels, he can afford five thousand taels, and my tiger Dawei will walk backwards from now on."

"Ahem, Lord Hu, say that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, Lord He's master has arrived."

"Huh?"

Hu Dawei turned his head to look, and saw a team of messy clothes coming crookedly towards Mengjiazhuang, led by a scholar with a mustache.

"Hey, that's fucking here." Hu Dawei was happy.

While speaking, the team had already reached a hundred steps away from Mengjiazhuang, and the leading scholar was the master of the county magistrate, Chen Congzhi.

"Under Chen Congzhi, I have seen the great steward of Qin."

From a distance, after seeing Qin Chuan on the gatehouse, Chen Congzhi shouted with his hands.

Qin Chuan stood up, replied with a smile, and said, "It turned out to be Master Chen, open the door of the village quickly, and invite Master Chen." ”

"Thank you, Grand Steward Qin."

Chen Congzhi took two entourages and rode into the village.

When I went up to the gatehouse, when I saw Hu Dawei and Luo Dushi, I immediately lowered my body and asked politely: "May I ask ......who these two adults are?"

"This is Lord Hu, the general of Shanxi, and this is Lord Luo, the commander of the Shanxi Metropolitan Command."

Chen Congzhi hurriedly bowed down: "Just Chen Congzhi, Master He of Jingle Zhixian County has seen two adults. ”

"Master Chen is exempt."

Luo Du was polite, but Hu Dawei kept silent.

"Master Chen, sit down."

Qin Chuan asked people to bring chairs, and after the other party sat down, he asked with a smile: "Master Chen is here for the newly beheaded head of Mengjiazhuang." ”

"Uh...... Haha, the purpose of this trip is to level the bandits, the bandits, the county magistrate has the responsibility to guard the land, and when he heard that Lou was troubled by the bandits, he hurriedly sent him to the next to level the bandits. ”

Chen Congzhi's face was embarrassed, but he scolded his mother in his heart.

General Hu Shen and Luo Dushi came here, they must have been ordered by Lord Futai to come to suppress the bandits, but the surname Qin mentioned this matter in front of these two, didn't it make it difficult for him to do it?

Give him a hundred guts, and he won't dare to snatch someone's head in front of Lord Futai's generals.

Qin Chuan didn't care, stretched out three fingers, and said with a smile: "Master Chen, Qin has a thousand heads on hand, and there is another ...... among them."

"A hundred war horses!" Hu Dawei interrupted him coldly.

Qin Chuan cleared his throat: "Ahem, two hundred and fifty horses." ”

"One hundred and fifteen."

"Two hundred is the lowest, and I won't do one less horse, and I have to leave a hundred heads for Master Chen."

"Hmm...... Grandma's, it's cheap, you kid, two hundred is two hundred, but you are not allowed to pick, no matter how fat or thin you are to be driven out with a whip. ”

"Deal."

Qin Chuan smiled, then turned his head to Chen Congzhi and said, "Master Chen, you and I agreed to set up a hundred households in Lou Fu and invite hundreds of households to work, but now, He Zhi County has only invited a small inspection envoy. ”

"Therefore, the seven hundred taels of silver will not be refunded in the next grade, but in the next grade, you will be given an extra hundred levels of silver and take it back to the magistrate."

The corners of Chen Congzhi's mouth jumped when he heard this, this bastard, how dare he hide the money of the county lord?

"What's the matter, Master Chen is in trouble?"

"Steward Qin, it's not good to be like this, the seven hundred taels of silver were borrowed by the county magistrate."

"Master Chen, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, Lord He is the head of a county, seven hundred taels of silver is just a casual touch, you go back and tell him, just say that Qin still wants to do business with him in the future, and there is a chance for him to be promoted and make a fortune, if Lord He is still reluctant to give him the seven hundred taels of silver...... You let him pick it up himself. ”

After that, Qin Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Congzhi anymore, picked up a piece of meat by himself, smeared some green salt, and stuffed his mouth into a big gulp.

Like him, Hu Dawei ate the meat, and turned a deaf ear to the fact that this little inspector was paying his debts in front of him.

Luo Dushi's face was a little unnatural, he had never seen a nine-grade sesame official dare to rely on Shangguan's silver in front of others.

That's seven hundred taels of silver.

What's more, although the inspection envoy is evaluated by the military department, he is actually equivalent to the subordinate officer of the local county, and he has to listen to the county in everything.

This Qin Inspector is really not an ordinary person, such a crazy person, if he can't become a god, he will definitely be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will never be able to turn over.

Chen Congzhi's face was more ugly than anyone else's, but he didn't dare to have a seizure, nor did he dare to bargain with the surnamed Qin anymore.

This bandit leader is not reasonable at all.

At this time, Wang Jizong, who had not spoken next to him, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Tai and relax, the chief steward of Qin said that in the future, there will be an indispensable opportunity for Lord He to be promoted and make a fortune, and the chief steward said that he would do it, Jizong can take his life as a guarantee, and Brother Tai can truthfully return to Lord He." ”

Chen Congzhi was stunned.

Of course, he could hear that Wang Jizong had already joined the surname Qin.

What he couldn't figure out was that Wang Jizong was obviously very disgusted with the surname Qin that day, and only a few days had passed, why did he join the surname Qin?

Chen Congzhi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother with the seven hundred taels of silver anymore, so he even bowed his hand to Qin Chuan and said: "Then I have to report to Lord He truthfully, and ask the chief steward of Qin to order all the hundred heads, so that I can go back and pay the errand." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, is Master Chen in a hurry to leave?"

"The official affairs in the county government are complicated, and there is no room for idleness."

"Since that's the case, then I won't force it, come, take Master Chen to order a hundred heads, and pick more heads of old bandits."

"Thank you to the Grand Steward Qin, the Grand Steward, the two adults, and Brother Ming Zhaoxian, I will leave first."

"By the way, Master Chen, something happened to the Meng family's grain shop in the county a few days ago, and the shopkeeper ran away with the Meng family's silver and grain, after Master Chen went back, can you ask Master He to do a little favor and check the whereabouts of the shopkeeper?"

"This ......"

"After arresting people back, Qin will be grateful."

"Well said, well said."

"Thank you, Master Chen."
