"Huh!"

Chen Yuan's footsteps stepped out in an instant, a white light flashed, and the knife was clearly placed in front of the man's neck, and he said coldly: "What are you, and you dare to speak to Ben Zhu like this?" ”

"When will the county government suppress the bandits, and do they still need to report to you?"

"Chen... How can Chen Zhutou make a good move. ”

"Don't be like this, don't be like this."

"Chen Zhutou is angry."

Feeling the slightest coolness from the blade, the cold sweat on the face of the middle-aged man who was holding his neck with a long knife instantly dripped from his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice:

"Master Chen, don't be impulsive, I did make a little louder just now... Master Chen, don't be like me. ”

Li Mingqi smiled at the corner of his mouth and watched Chen Yuan's performance with interest.

For Chen Yuan, he is becoming more and more satisfied, he can be regarded as a manufacturable material, but unfortunately, he has no extra daughters, otherwise......

Chen Yuan stared at him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder:

"Master Chen, this capture is just a joke, don't take it to heart."

"Of course, of course..."The man known as the head of the Chen family smiled brightly, his face was a little reluctant, just now, he really felt a touch of murderous aura.

Seeing that Chen Yuan no longer moved, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

They are not afraid, but the purpose is not here, they want to find a way to get the goods back through the yamen, instead of clashing with the yamen, and besides, the conflict is not so easy to start.

This Chen Yuan is young and vigorous, he draws his sword when he disagrees, and it is unwise to have a bad relationship with such a person!

Chen Yuan looked at the several family heads who were shocked, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he raised his voice:

"Horse bandits, they must be suppressed!"

"You also have a deep understanding that these horse bandits kill people without blinking, which is really a big disaster in Ping'an County, with these thieves, how can we be safe?"

"I'm afraid, I don't even dare to go out of the city on weekdays."

"But... Don't hide it from you, the county government wants to do it, but there is not enough silver to reward, and there is not enough silver to compensate. ”

"That's... What does Chen Zhutou mean? ”

Someone asked with a frown.

Chen Yuan glanced at Li Mingqi, who was sitting silently, and smiled:

"The meaning of this arrest is very simple, you can suppress the bandits, but you have to come up with some silver, so that the officials under this hunt will fight these horse bandits to the end!"

The group of people sitting looked at each other, even if they were stupid, they understood what Chen Yuan meant, it is okay to suppress bandits, bring silver, otherwise, who will die for you?

"Chen Zhutou, we have never been short of money every month, why now..." someone whispered, a little dissatisfied, they took out a lot of silver every year.

Now it's really time to do things, and you still have to collect money, and being an official really doesn't have a good thing!

Chen Yuan's eyelids drooped, and he said slowly:

"I've never seen this silver before, so it's better to let whoever you give your silver to kill the horse bandits for you."

Although it is common to take bribes secretly, there are really few people who dare to say it.

Chen Yuan wanted to see if they dared to say who the money was given to.

"How much does Chen Zhutou want?" The middle-aged man, who was in full size, stood up and stopped the others from talking.

He saw it very clearly, the head of Chen Zhutou in front of him didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, even if he brought out some people who could force the county government to hunt down the bandits, but if they didn't work, what could they do?

Your own goods are the most important, once the time is delayed, the compensation is not a small number.

"How much money do you think is appropriate?"

Chen Yuan didn't make his own decisions, and set his eyes on Li Mingqi at the top.

Li Mingqi showed a smile that you are very sensible, and said lightly:

"Suppressing bandits is what the county government should mean, but it is true that as Chen Zhutou said, there is not enough reward, and the head catcher in the county government will not work hard.... Each family will pay fifty taels of silver, and the county government will definitely exterminate this group of horse bandits who are causing trouble to the people, and return a bright and prosperous county to Ping'an! ”

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, Li Mingqi is worthy of being a county lieutenant, and this high-sounding word is also very powerful!

The heads of the several families sitting seemed to be a little hesitant, their eyes wandered, fifty taels for each family, not a small number, adding up to two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

Almost a quarter of the value of that shipment.

"Why, how many don't want to?" Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and swept over them one by one.

"Okay, it's fifty taels!"

The middle-aged man with a rich body seemed to have a lot of prestige, and after he made a decision, the others had no objections.

"As soon as the money arrived, the county government immediately began to suppress the bandits!"

Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.

"Okay, Chen Zhutou is a cheerful person, and he is absolutely unambiguous, before it gets dark today, my Yang family's silver will definitely be delivered to Chen Zhutou!"

The middle-aged man with a rich body is very bold.

"That's great!"

Chen Yuan bowed slightly.

After discussing the money, the rest of the matter was very simple, it was nothing more than a few more polite words, and after a while, several people left the county office.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan and Tie Qinghua looked at each other quietly and smiled.

......

......

"My lord, after they send the silver, Wang Ping will be sent to your mansion."

After everyone left, Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"There is no need to play these little cleverness, you can leave one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and send one hundred taels..."Li Mingqi said lightly.

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Yuan showed some respect at the right time.

Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan:

"If you don't collect the money, it's nothing if you can't stop the bandits, once the silver is collected, it's not so simple, they will definitely find a way to stab it on it."

"Aren't you still there?"

Chen Yuan said softly.

But in my heart, I opened my mouth to take half of it, I can't even let out a fart, right?

"Tell me, what's your plan?"

Li Mingqi looked directly at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan immediately said:

"Don't hide it, my lord, there are actually some clues about my humble position."

"Oh?" Li Mingqi was shocked in his heart, these people came to report to the official today, and Chen Yuan already had a clue?

Detective is nothing more than that, right?

Instinctively, Li Mingqi didn't believe it.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said:

"Do you know, my lord, who is the woman in green clothes among the five people who came together?"

"I naturally know Tie Xuan's sister."

Li Mingqi said in a low voice.

"Yes, it's the sister of the iron cell leader, as soon as the iron cell head died, the Tie family was ostracized by many people, and many forces wanted to swallow the foundation of the Tie family, and Tie Qinghua found me last night, hoping that I could shelter her."

"It was in her mouth that she learned about these horse bandits, and she also got some clues."

Chen Yuan said, carefully observing Li Mingqi's expression, after all, Tie Xuan and him were not all the way before.
