Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 60: It's Time to Eat, Come Back in the Afternoon

If someone asks the Black Tiger what is the best thing in the world, the Black Tiger will definitely answer, the leather jacket, especially the sleeve part.

More than ten days have passed, and the middle-aged man and the black tiger have already run out of ammunition. But both of them did not step out of the yard with ghosts in their hearts.

The black tiger was afraid that his pretending to be Mu County's brother-in-law would be exposed, and the middle-aged man was afraid that the encirclement and suppression army of the Ping'an County Ya had secretly ambushed around the courtyard at this time.

After a full meal of stewed straw sandals with clear water again, Heihu picked the hay fibers between his teeth and asked the middle-aged man beside him, "Do we have anything else to eat for the next meal?" ”

Middle-aged people are also flossing their teeth, after all, the straw sandals have been too long and are a little dry.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man replied: "I see that there is still some hay on the gatehouse at the door, otherwise we will eat that at night?" ”

The black tiger pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "I see that there is still a little moss on the roof tiles, and I will also add it at night and open the meat." ”

After that, the two fell silent.

After a while, the black tiger took the lead in speaking: "If you want me to say, what kind of crime are we suffering, isn't it good to go home early?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed softly when he heard this, and said to the black tiger: "I want to too, but this great protector has not been rescued, and I can't explain it when I go back." ”

The black tiger nodded, and muttered slightly for a while, before he spoke to the middle-aged man again: "Why don't we two go to the Acropolis?" ”

"Acropolis? Isn't there a war going on there? The middle-aged man looked at the black tiger with a puzzled expression and said.

Hearing this, the black tiger smiled, looked at the middle-aged man and replied, "Isn't the more chaotic this is, the more you can fish in troubled waters?" ”

Looking at the middle-aged man who was still a little surprised, the black tiger continued to smile and said: "Actually, for us, as long as we can go and have a good meal, doesn't it matter where we are?" ”

"But ...... outside" The middle-aged man was still a little hesitant, pointing outside the wall and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the black tiger.

"If there had been a siege by a large army, your small physique would have been conquered long ago. I suspect that the young men you sent out might have lost their way or been killed by the robbers. Otherwise, you would have been arrested and tortured by the county government a long time ago. ”

The middle-aged man felt that what the black tiger said made some sense, nodded slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked at the black tiger.

"I'm worried, but why don't you run these days? I didn't stop you. ”

The black tiger was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought of a countermeasure with a roll of his eyes, and smiled at the middle-aged man with a smile: "I have the consciousness of being an excellent hostage, and the hostage can't just think about escaping by himself, and he must put himself in the shoes of the kidnappers." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and sighed: "It's still the simple folk customs of your Ping'an County." ”

The black tiger smiled and said no more.

In fact, Black Tiger has other ideas in his heart. After all, the head of a cultist is worth 10,000 taels of silver, and the middle-aged man in front of him may still be a big fish. If this deal is done, won't you make a profit?

10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount for the black tiger, and the person in front of him is likely to be the 10,000 taels of silver that he picked up for nothing. Although he was beaten, the black tiger felt that he was worth the beating.

……

On the other hand, Wang Le suddenly remembered that Mu Cheng seemed to owe him 100,000 taels of silver, and after calling Lao Hua over to discuss for a while, he took the four thieves and carried Gao Weiliang down the mountain to collect the account.

After arriving at the Ping'an County Ya, he saw that Li Yongxin was going crazy and asked if he had seen his watch, Wang Le expressed deep sympathy and a trace of guilt for Li Yongxin's experience. After all, Li Yongxin has become like this now, which is directly related to himself.

Walking further in, I saw Mu Cheng sitting in the main hall dealing with official business, Mu Cheng saw that Wang Le was coming, thinking that there was some good news from the Tianwei City, so he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.

"Why is Mr. Wang here today? Isn't there any good news over there? ”

Wang Le arched his hand towards Mu Chengyi when he heard this, and then replied with a smile: "No, no, I just feel that I haven't seen Lord Mu for a long time, and I miss Lord Mu's heroic posture, so I came to meet Master Mu." ”

The two of them blew each other along the lines for a while, and then Mu Cheng asked to the point.

"Why did Mr. Wang come to this official today?"

Wang Le felt that the atmosphere seemed to have become a little serious, which was not conducive to his next talk about money, so he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, Master Mu is still handling official business, let's talk after we deal with it?" ”

Mu Cheng nodded, and was not polite to Wang Le, but sat down at the table and began to deal with official business.

After estimating that after half an hour, Mu Cheng threw the pen in his hand towards the pen holder, looked at Wang Le and said with a smile: "The official's official business has been dealt with, Mr. Wang can now tell me why he came, right?" ”

Wang Le nodded when he heard this, and said to Mu Cheng: "Master Mu, the 100,000 taels of silver from the previous cult should be cashed out, right?" ”

When Mu Cheng heard this, he began to pretend to be stupid and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver? When? How did the official not know? ”

Wang Le was not in a hurry, he had long expected that Mu Cheng would repay his debts, after all, there are few people who can be officials in this world who are good goods.

After thinking about it, Wang Le said to Mu Cheng: "Master Mu forgot? It was Jia Yu's 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"Oh...... Oh...... Oh......"

Mu Cheng seemed to remember, and he looked suddenly enlightened, and then looked at Wang Le and said, "The official still hasn't remembered." ”

Wang Le was furious in his heart, and you Mu County Ling just made a rooster-like sound to play tricks on me? But fortunately, my king is not a vegetarian either.

I saw Wang Le crying out in a loud voice, and then there was a cry outside the door.

Mu Chengdu is stupid, what is the situation? Two flowers in the courtyard and outside the courtyard? And this kind of operation?

However, Mu Cheng reacted quickly, and snorted at an errand at the door, and the errand immediately went out to understand the situation.

It didn't take long to see the errand come back, and whispered a few words in Mu Cheng's ear.

Mu Cheng's expression also changed from puzzled to solemn, and then he looked at Wang Le and smiled fiercely: "Teacher Wang, it's a bit too much to do this, right?" ”

"Excessive?" Wang Le looked at Mu Cheng blankly, and asked with some confusion: "Why did Lord Mu say this?" ”

Mu Cheng felt that he was about to explode, if he hadn't been an official of the imperial court, Wang Le would probably have been killed by himself at this time.

After thinking about it, Mu Cheng still forced himself to calm down, and smiled at Wang Le: "What's the matter with the tall strong man outside the door?" ”

Wang Le's expression of sudden realization when he heard this, was exactly the same as Mu Cheng just now.

"My lord, there are migrant workers outside who ask for wages, so adults don't have to mind."

"Don't mind?"

Mu Cheng snorted coldly when he heard this, and said to Wang Le: "Now he is crying wolf with a few strong men and ghosts outside the door, do you let this official not mind?" ”

After that, Mu Cheng also looked at Wang Le with a look of regret and said, "Teacher Wang, I didn't expect you to be such a person. ”

Hearing this, Wang Le hurriedly waved his hand at Mu Cheng.

"Where is Lord Mu, isn't it just a few migrant workers asking for money? I'm going to send them away. ”

With that, Wang Le turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, Mu Cheng also hurriedly followed.

Outside the county office, Gao Weiliang was lying on a stretcher, and his mouth was constantly whimpering. Several of the other bandits were kneeling and howling.

Wang Le walked up to them, looked around, and then asked one of the thieves.

"What are you doing here?"

The bandit who was questioned was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted. Hurriedly replied.

"Master Mu of the county government is not a person, he owes us wages, and he still hasn't paid the bill, and we are poor and can't open the pot."

As he spoke, the thief began to weep again.

Wang Le looked at Mu Cheng with a wry smile on his face when he heard this, and asked in front of the crowd of onlookers.

"Master Mu, you see ...... this"

Mu Cheng had long known that Wang Le was not holding back any good fart, so he snorted coldly before he spoke.

"The official has never been in arrears with their wages."

Wang Leyan looked at the thief with a smile on his face, and continued to ask.

"You said that Master Mu owes you wages, do you have any evidence? This county hasn't done anything to waste money in recent days. ”

When the thief heard this, he wept even harder.

"The villain once helped Lord Mu catch a few cult leaders, and Lord Mu said that he wanted 100,000 taels of silver tickets from the villain last time, and those people are still locked up in the county jail, but Master Mu didn't admit it."

Wang Le nodded when he heard this, and said to Mu Cheng: "My lord, this matter ...... Wang had also heard about the capture of the cultists. ”

The onlookers also began to point their fingers at this time, and when Mu Cheng saw this situation, he suddenly felt like sitting on wax.

After all, he was bought with money, according to the law of the Great Wei, the name of this official is not right, and there are many complaints about it, and when the officials are assessed in the coming year, Mu Cheng feels that he may be unemployed.

After thinking about it, Mu Cheng suddenly realized.

"The official remembered, you came in with the official, and the official talked to you in detail."

This is Mu Cheng's plan to delay the army, first deal with this matter, and after entering the county office, how he wants to say this depends on his mood.

I have to say that Mu Cheng's abacus is very good, but the thief is not a vegetarian either, and when he saw Wang Lechao's eyes, the thief suddenly began to cry in a louder voice.

"Lord Mu, my brother was injured in order to catch the cultists, and his life is hanging by a thread at this time. Where can I tell Master Mu in detail......"

When the bandits next to them heard this, their minds suddenly turned around and began to echo.

Hearing this, Mu Cheng glared at the thief fiercely, and then leaned into Wang Le's ear and whispered.

"There won't be a penny less for you, so I'll give this to the official first."

Wang Le smiled heartily when he heard this, and said to the thieves: "It's noon, it's time to eat." Come back in the afternoon. ”

When a few thieves saw that it was noon, they stopped crying, and lifted Gao Weiliang and left.

Mu Cheng was stupid on the side, what's the situation? Coming back in the afternoon?
