The prefect Zhang Shoushan looked at the hundred households sitting on the horse opposite, Chen Xiuchang, and after stretching out a finger to himself, he suddenly cursed in his heart.

In his opinion, these poor military households actually dared to take advantage of the fire to ask themselves for a hundred taels of silver, which was simply a tolerable thing.

However, at the moment, he really needs these people, and if they don't make a move, those pirates themselves won't be able to deal with them. Therefore, Zhang Shoushan could only suppress the anger in his heart and let himself calm down as much as possible.

"Good! One hundred taels is one hundred taels! I'm out! ”

The prefect Zhang Shoushan gritted his teeth and agreed with hatred.

As a well-known iron rooster, it's a rare thing to pluck his feathers.

If it weren't for the current situation, which made him a little anxious, he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

One hundred taels of silver, that's not a small number.

In the hands of ordinary people, this one hundred taels of silver will be accumulated for seven or eight years or even ten years without eating or drinking.

But then again, this one hundred taels of silver is placed in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but anyone with a little status doesn't care very much, especially this Yangzhou prefect.

The reason why he has such a painful reaction is because he is stingy.

The name of the iron rooster is actually in vain.

After the prefect Zhang Shoushan agreed, in fact, his heart was really painful.

Although this one hundred taels of silver is nothing to him at all. But his heart still hurts...... This is the nature of human beings.

After Zhang Shoushan, the prefect on this side, agreed loudly, the hundred households on the opposite side looked at the prefect with a stunned expression.

Hum!

You were also shocked by my generosity, this time it was not easy for me to bleed heavily.

After the prefect Zhang Shoushan saw the reaction of the guards on the other side, his heart hurt and was proud.

You must know that Lu Dao, it seems that he spent a hundred taels of silver at once, which is a very rare thing.

Except that he made the silver to honor the officials. He's usually very picky.

After all, honoring Shangguan can pave the way for his future, so he has nothing to be reluctant about this. Anyway, after becoming an official, you can just go back ruthlessly.

It cost 100,000 taels to buy an official, so how can he make 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver during his tenure, and he Zhang Shoushan has never done anything at a loss.

For example, when he won the battle and gave Chen Xiuchang and them a hundred taels of silver, in fact, the prefect Zhang Shoushan also weighed it.

caught those Haikou and continued to ask Wang Qingshan, how could he get a sum of money from him at that time. This money must be more than one hundred taels, so it is worth it to give this hundred taels.

Besides. When Wang Qingshan was caught, he found more than 1,000 taels of silver from him. Didn't all this silver fall into his pocket, and now that he gave out a hundred taels of silver, it was actually not his own money at all, so there was nothing distressed or distressed.

Of course, if it falls into his own pocket, it is his own, and the prefect still feels a little reluctant in his heart.

"One hundred taels of silver! Lord Prefect, you are really ......", Zhang Shoushan, the prefect on this side, thought that he could be regarded as making a big move, but he didn't want to think about the hundred households sitting on the horse opposite Chen Xiuchang. At this time, he opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"It's about to be the New Year, who wants to do this at this time. You have to know that Lu Dao, this is a matter of playing with those outlaws, if there is a good one, how can you celebrate the New Year? ”

Chen Xiuchang slowly put away his crying and laughing expression. It turned into a look of contempt.

"Since you're making a living, you're too insincere, right? If the prefect is so amusement for our brothers, you should take care of those pirates, the prefect. ”

Obviously, Chen Baihu dislikes himself for giving less money.

Grandma's!

A hundred taels of silver is less!

How much do you want?

Isn't that the finger you just stretched out?

If it's not a hundred taels of silver. Is it still a thousand taels of silver?

Phew!

After listening to the words of Chen Xiuchang of the hundred households, the prefect secretly cursed in his heart.

But his body shook quickly, and then he thought: No! Could it be that these poor military households are not sour. I really want the lion to open his mouth and ask for a thousand taels of silver!

The prefect Zhang Shoushan was shocked by his own speculation.

"If the prefect is sincere, he will pay a thousand taels of silver for his hard work. In fact, who here in Yangzhou doesn't know that the prefect of Ludao has silver, so why bother with us poor military households. ”

Baihu Chen said patiently to the prefect Zhang Shoushan.

In fact, Chen Xiuchang has no choice, if he hadn't seen the benefits in this matter, he wouldn't have come to help Zhang Shoushan.

People who don't usually deal with it much, he wants help for Mao.

Isn't that a bit of a benefit?

And if you get the benefits, you can also let the brothers under your command have a good New Year.

After all, they're not having a good time right now.

Therefore, the bottom line in the heart of 100 households Chen Xiuchang is 1,000 taels of silver.

If Zhang Shoushan didn't have any money here, then he and his brothers would definitely not make a move.

Anyway, they didn't make it, and they weren't unlucky.

"Then how much do you want!"

Zhang Shoushan was also a little bit of a wax at this time, after all, he wanted to deal with those Haikou and recapture Wang Fuzi.

Now that the time has dragged on for a long time, if it is not resolved, after those pirates make trouble, it will have a great impact on their careers.

To know Lu Dao, the current prefect Zhang Shoushan is seeking to go further.

If something goes wrong at this juncture, then isn't everything going to be a chicken?

He didn't want such a problem to occur, after all, he had made a lot of money for a certain bigwig in the DPRK last year.

If this is not possible, will not all that silver be wasted?

No! No! No!

You can't let such a thing happen yourself.

Thinking of such a terrible consequence, Zhang Shoushan finally gave in.

However, our prefect still looked forward to it slightly in his heart, hoping that the price of the hundred households Chen Xiuchang was not as much as he guessed.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the prefect himself. The initiative is not in his hands at all.

Chen Xiuchang still had one finger: "If the prefect is sincere, he will take out a thousand taels of silver to give the brothers a happy time, and everyone will do their best to solve this matter for the adults at that time." But if the adults are not sincere, the brothers will have to go home, after all, it is not better to drink a little wine at home on such a cold day. ”

Chen Xiuchang's words shattered the prefect's expectations, and at the same time made his face very ugly.

One thousand taels!

One thousand taels!

However, the prefect did not get angry, because Chen Xiuchang made it clear just now that if there is no agreement here, then he will take people back, and whoever is willing to arrest Haikou will arrest him. It has nothing to do with him anyway.

People run from the prefect's yamen, and things come out of the prefect's yamen.

And the Haikou was also surrounded, and eight of the prefect's officials were all there.

It can be said that this matter is really not under the jurisdiction of the Wei Institute, and it is completely a matter of the prefect's yamen.

The reason why the Haikou had no way to solve it was because the officials of the prefect's yamen were too bearish, and they became timid one by one when facing the suspected outlaws.

After all, officials are also human beings.

Let them rush up and fight them to the death with the clerk. If there is damage or something, the prefect will not care about it at all.

That's really not worth it.

Life is one's own, and the matter is the prefect's business.

Which is more important in this, I think everyone has a measure in their hearts.

And how does the prefect usually treat everyone. It's all in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the officials are afraid of this matter and dare not sell their strength.

It is precisely for this reason that it is obviously unrealistic to expect those officials in the prefect to solve this matter.

The master has already sent someone back to inform him. Those officials were very reluctant to face those pirates, and everyone was afraid that in the tough attack, they would give their lives to where they would be.

So. Even if the master is there, there is nothing to be done about it.

Right now, I can only rely on these soldiers brought by Chen Xiuchang of Baihu.

If even they are gone, who can you count on?

Could it be that he remembered his government for help?

Let's forget about it.

If he does this, he will be the end of his official position.

"Good! A thousand taels is a thousand taels! I'll give! ”

In the end, after weighing the gains and losses, the prefect gritted his teeth and agreed again.

Mother's, just throw it into the ditch as a thousand taels of silver!

As long as the most reluctant can catch the king's lover and wipe out those pirates, then a thousand taels of silver will be nothing. Thinking about it, Wang Qingshan must be a leader-like figure in the Haikou, and in such a person, there must be a lot of wealth.

Otherwise, how could his men be so bold to rescue him?

Besides, if this Wang Qingshan didn't have money, it would be impossible for his brothers to work so hard.

Seeing that the prefect Zhang Shoushan finally agreed, a smile bloomed on the face of the hundred households Chen Slender.

"Good! I know that the prefect of Lu Dao is a cool person, and I think that I Chen Xiuchang was a villain just now. But it doesn't matter, let's all take what we need, right? I want cash! Bring the money, and our brothers will go over at once. ”

Nima!

I still want to cash silver, this is not a rabbit and an eagle.

After the prefect heard this, he suddenly began to curse again in his heart.

However, this can't be blamed on Baihu Chen Xiuchang, after all, the name of the iron rooster is not called in vain, what if the matter is solved and he turns his face and doesn't admit it?

It's not impossible to say that the prefect can't do this.

Therefore, it is better to get the money first and then do the work. (To be continued......)
