Hearing this, the county magistrate sneered disdainfully again.

"If it weren't for the fact that I would have used them as a ladder to catch those adults in the capital, I wouldn't have bothered to interact with them, I would be much happier than them as a soil overlord in this county."

He never expected to rise all the way up and get the blue eyes of the two sitting in high positions in the capital.

He knew that when he returned to the capital, he would inevitably encounter the overthrow of various forces, he just wanted to keep his position, and he just wanted to hold the authority in his hands steadily.

In addition, he had long heard that in recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had issued several new decrees, which were beneficial to agriculture and merchants, but not to those of them who were officials.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even took advantage of a few events in the recent period to knock down a group of people from the family, causing panic to everyone in the capital.

He had peace in this county, though he had to be careful not to have the so-called overseer of the government come to his county and find out that he had exploited the people.

But it's not in the capital, there is no sword hanging over his head, and his life is always chic.

He thinks that he is a man with no ambitions, and his life is now peaceful.

As a result, just a few days ago, these adults from the capital suddenly found him, saying that there were important matters to discuss with him, and that if those things were done, the high-ranking officials would be just at his fingertips.

He did not expect to receive high-ranking officials, but only to obtain sufficient money and the protection of the great people from the capital.

After thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal of those adults in the capital.

He also knew that if he didn't agree to those people's proposals, those people would definitely try to blackmail him and make him have to agree.

In that case, it's better to take advantage of the situation.

After agreeing to the men's proposals, the people told the magistrate what they were going to do.

When he learned that those men were going to raise private soldiers, the county magistrate immediately regretted it.

It's just that since he has been forced by the intimidation of those people in the capital family to agree to their proposal, even if he regrets it, it will not work.

He also wanted to keep his head

Left and right only helped those people escort supplies and help them hide their establishment of a military camp in the nearby mountains.

This was not a difficult task for him, but fortunately his city was on the border.

The emperor was far away, and the adults who supervised the palace had come to them once.

He also managed to keep things down, and he hasn't been exposed until now.

"I still have to sell them face."

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end, the county magistrate said this sentence, and the master on the side heard the words and immediately responded.

The county commander thought about it for a while, and then instructed the master.

"Well, go and get the best restaurant in the city, and I'll feast those three adults tonight."

"I've been tired of coming to our small city, so I should show some attitude."

"In this way, it will be more convenient for us to succeed in the future."

The county order's eyes flashed, and the master understood the meaning of the county order, so he immediately responded and left in a hurry.

The prefectural order is to make those lords of the capital relax their vigilance, so as to find an opportunity to steal the silver stored in their own mansions.

told the boss the meaning of the county order, where did the boss dare to disobey the meaning of the county order, and immediately responded when he heard it.

Before the evening came, the innkeeper cleared the restaurant and invited a few beautiful singers from the famous green house in the city to accompany him.

After all this was settled, the county magistrate took the three adults into the restaurant.

Sitting on the top floor of the restaurant, several singers Shi Shiran entered the lobby, they shook their soft waists, and the sound of music came from the restaurant.

Some people passing by looked curiously in the direction of the restaurant, like their own neighbors to find out who the person who chartered the restaurant was.

A few shopkeepers in the inn walked towards the top floor with delicate dishes.

When he passed by a person, a shopkeeper stopped, he turned his head to look in the direction of the person, and frowned in confusion.

"Are you a new shopkeeper? Or are they the men of the adults on the top floor? ”

The man's footsteps paused, and he said quietly.

"I'm a subordinate of those adults on the top floor, and I got an order from the adults to go to the back kitchen to do some work."

"There's an adult who can't eat almonds, and I have to go to the back kitchen to remind him that if you let that big man eat almonds and cause him to feel unwell, then you are guilty of a felony."

A few shopkeepers were taken aback and hurriedly responded, and the man left in a hurry, and he went downstairs and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

When I walked to the door of the back kitchen, I didn't go into the back kitchen, but bypassed the back kitchen and walked in the direction of the back yard.

When he reached the back door of the backyard, he flashed, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and walked quickly to the teahouse opposite the restaurant.

The man walked to the door of the private room on the second floor, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, Chen Mu responded, and the man pushed open the door and walked in.

Chen Mu glanced at him.

"How? How's it going? Who are the people who came to this county to escort the silver two? ”

"Indeed, the adults that the bandit said."

Lord Ye arched his hand when Chen Mu asked.

Chen Mu nodded quietly.

"In this way, those gold and silver are indeed stored in the mansion of the Yangcheng County Commander, so bold, can you find out the news related to those private soldiers?"

Lord Ye shook his head silently.

"They were extremely cautious, even though there were four of them in the entire restaurant, and the rest were the owners of the restaurant, and they didn't mention anything related to private soldiers."

"It seems that we can only sneak into the prefectural mansion in the middle of the night to investigate."

Chen Mu nodded when he heard this, and sat in the inn for a while, seeing that the restaurant was singing and dancing, and several people in the restaurant did not mean to leave the restaurant immediately, Chen Mu sighed faintly.

The money for the amusement of these men was taken from the hands of the people of the city.

Chen Mu frowned, let people inquire about the life of the people in the city, and learned that among the people in the city, the rich and noble life is not bad, and the poorer ones are getting poorer and poorer.

The Yangcheng County Commander constantly exploited the silver in their hands, and every month they had to find some excuses, so that people could go to the hands of those people to ask for the silver, and if they were unwilling to give it, they would let those people beat them up.

Sometimes the fight is very bad, and the people have no money to see a doctor, and they may even die because of serious injuries.

"After being beaten, the silver will still be robbed, so over time, those people will automatically hand over the silver as soon as they see the people of the county order coming to the door, so that they can also ensure that they are not injured."

"Some farmers only rely on the harvest in the fields to exchange some silver for the whole year, and they have no income on weekdays, so they rely on surplus silver."

"After being exploited by the county order several times, the silver in my hand has bottomed out, and I can't live anymore."

"There were also some peasant households who had to abandon their fields and leave the towns, and when the county magistrate saw this, he simply asked people to harvest the fields, and hired some peasant households to enclose the fields and use them as their own villages."

It was really greedy, Chen Mu's eyes sank.
