Chao Gai said it lightly, but it knocked on the heart of Mrs. Ma like Hong Zhong Dalu. A heartbeat! Three thousand taels of silver, although there are not many livestock, chickens and ducks, but this is only superficial, and it costs money to block the news.

Over the past 20 years, more than 1,000 acres of land have been forcibly occupied, more than one-third. On the surface, there is nothing to lose in the position of justice, but in fact it is crucial, for example, officials can avoid paying taxes. Without this umbrella, he will be poisoned by Kutian at any time. None of the three conditions is simple.

But if you don't agree to the other party's collusion with the robbers, this matter will be poked out and it will be solid. Not only will his son not be able to keep it, but even the Ma family will be implicated.

Chao Gai, Chao Gai, took the Ma family's life, what a vicious move!

Mrs. Ma hung her head and didn't speak, and the old servants and Zhuang Ke around her didn't dare to interject. I'm afraid that I will mess things up and anger the master, and I'm even more afraid that Chao Tianwang will go crazy!

"Oh, what? The old lady has an opinion? Chao Gai and Lei Heng had a few glasses of wine and didn't hear a response. Squinted at the old man Ma who was silent, and sneered a few times: "Those who know the times are Junjie, Chao is not a good person, someone will talk to you formally, don't let my olive branch slip." ”

Although Mrs. Ma didn't understand what the olive branch represented, she noticed the coldness in Chao Gai's eyes, and secretly said bitterly in her heart! sighed heavily: "Let's go, the future life is terrible!" Chao Baozheng, everything is according to what you say. ”

"Oh, Mrs. Ma is here for a drink!" Chao Gai stretched out his hand to invite, and his face changed faster than turning a book. In an instant, he changed from fucking your mother to smiling. Lei Heng next to him looked at a piece of meat on the chopsticks and didn't put it in his mouth for a long time.

"I won't eat the wine, I'll do what you want, hum!" Old Madam Ma had already turned around, and without looking back, she snorted coldly and strode away.

"Old lady, don't send it slowly, we'll see you again!" Chao Gai could feel the unwillingness in the depths of the old man's eyes, and he didn't hide a knife in his smile with murderous intent. But the surface kung fu got in place, and waved goodbye enthusiastically.

"Sure... Brother, what the hell is going on? Lei Heng was shocked by Chao Gai's momentum before, and subconsciously changed his words without even noticing him. Seeing that Mrs. Ma was deflated all the way, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked eagerly.

Chao Gai was silent for a moment, and then poured bitter water into a detailed account of last night's incident. The ungrateful Han Bolong said that he was extremely vicious. Immediately, this upright man was angry enough and scolded the beast.

That posture really had the meaning of cutting with a knife, and he was persuaded by Chao Gai to continue to eat and drink. The people in the way are gone, and the interest is getting higher and higher under the push of the cup and the change of lamp.

Chao Gai kept saying good things, and praised Lei Heng's martial arts and a sense of justice, Lei Heng laughed happily in his heart, and the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

And the dozens of native soldiers who followed him were also entertained, and there was enough wine and meat. After the atmosphere is in place, he fights wine and guesses boxing, takes off his armor and loses his bow, showing his true colors as a man.

After eating and drinking, Lei Heng was ready to lead the team to escort the strongman back to the yamen to ask for merit.

"Brother, you take this!" Before leaving, Chao Gai pulled Lei Heng to a no-man's land, took out a gold ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Lei Heng's hand.

I'm afraid there won't be twenty or thirty taels!

Lei Heng shook the gold nugget in his hand, and his heart was joyful, but he knew the weight. There have been too many benefits from Chao Gai over the years, and he hurriedly refused to accept it: "Brother, you always eat and drink and take money, and shame the dead!" ”

"Hey, you and my brother! What is the value of this little thing? Give you money is to go back and buy more supplements to honor the old lady, and I will visit you when I have time. Chao Gai held Lei Heng's rough hand and stared at him with a sincere face.

"This ......, then thank you brother!" When it came to this, Lei Heng was moved in his heart. At the same time, I feel inexplicably ashamed when I think of what I have done before. nodded heavily, and in his heart he recognized this brother.

"Brother, in the public gate, you must be fair and law-abiding. It is acceptable to exploit the rich who are not benevolent to the rich, and no pressure can be exerted on the poor people. Chao Gai was afraid that this brother would do something foolish again, so he continued to teach earnestly.

: Brother, rest assured! Little brother remember. Lei Heng patted his chest and promised. Who would have thought that after today, Lei Dutou would no longer be greedy for cheapness.

"Brother, I'll do something for you. After going back, give the letter to He Xiancheng......" Chao Gai took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it to Lei Heng, and whispered a few words. Let this Lei Dutou look at his friend in surprise.

Meeting today, it seems that this Baozheng who has been friends for many years has changed! Although Lei Heng had this kind of doubt, he didn't ask much, after all, this is Chao Gai.

"Brother, don't worry, I will tell you the truth." Lei Heng received the letter and guaranteed.

"Brother do things, I don't worry!" Chao Gai smiled and patted him on the shoulder. The system of the Northern Song Dynasty was very discordant, supervising and restricting each other. Especially in the county, the two official positions of the chief and the thin are almost open and covert.

Because the affairs of the two official positions are the same, the struggle for power and profit is the greatest. He Xiancheng of Yuncheng County and Ma Zhu Bo have many contradictions, which are known to the whole city. The letter sent by Chao Gai and the words brought by Chao Gai were to help the county Cheng take the advantage.

Since he has formed a bond with Ma Dahu in Xixi Village, he can't make him feel better.

If you don't die, you will not die, and you will be harmed!

Or in other words, it is indispensable to guard against others! Chao Gai will have the deepest experience, so the first strike is stronger. Even if you can't kill it now, you can do it in advance. Let He County, who is not much better, be a pawn in the unknown.

The two of them fought to the death, and the dog ate the dog!

No, this is the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, allowing one side to gain the upper hand and win.

Lei Heng left, and led his men to escort more than a dozen outlaws back to ask for merit and reward. The officers were all smiling because they had benefited from it.

Chao Gai sent out of the house to look at this group of native soldiers, and thought they were cute and amiable. Who would have thought that this group of guys would dare to sell leather armor and hard bows on a mission? Chao Fu suddenly had more than 30 sets of leather armor and more than 10 hard bows.

The armor of the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into iron armor, leather armor, and paper armor.

The leather armor of the local armed forces is the worst type of hard leather armor, and the hard bow is also a standard bow and arrow. It is made by the state capital workshop, and the quality is barely strong, but the people do not have it. It's hard to make by ordinary craftsmen, and it's just right for armed guards!

Chao Gai took the initiative to learn about this situation since he saw the guards wearing leather armor. can only be described as a moth of the country, but he likes this kind of person very much. I only hope that the more the better, and moth the foundation of this court.

……

Ma Dahu in Xixi Village may have been really scared, so he sent someone to send 3,000 taels of silver, livestock, chickens and ducks in the afternoon, and he didn't dare to slip his head at all.

Chao Gai generously took out a thousand taels of silver for the guards to share, and ordered the room to add food. As for the hush money extorted in private, a thousand taels of gold was deposited into the treasury by him. 5,000 stone of grain was carried into the granary!

The land contract needs to be filed with the county government before it can be bought and sold, and it will take two or three days at the earliest. The old housekeeper has sent someone to take charge of this matter. As for the position of Baozheng, the same is true, and it also needs the approval of the county magistrate.

Chao Gai can't also serve as the Baozheng of Xixi Village, so he needs to find a candidate. Let out the rumors in private to see if any wealthy family with a solid background is interested in this.

I can't rush for a while!

The total number of zeros and zeros adds up to more than 20,000 yuan, and this time Ma Dahu is considered to be bleeding. The grudge between the two sides deepened, but Chao Gai didn't have time to pay attention to it. Instead, seize the time to rectify the internal situation and enhance the ability to protect oneself to deal with the crisis!

Chao Mansion was stolen first, the owner fell off his horse and was injured, and there was a strong man at night. A series of accidents have spread the news that someone has deliberately caused harm. When the whole village heard the rumors, they all hated the same enemy and scolded the dog thief.

Some people say it's Han Bolong, some people say it's a big family in Xixi Village, some people say it's a Jianghu person who used to cover it, and some people say it's a coveted family fortune......

All kinds of true and false news flew everywhere as if they had grown wings.

Chaofu has encountered successive accidents and drawbacks, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call! First, there are no supervisors, and second, the guards are not vigilant enough.

Shojo's defenses were insufficient to cope with a large-scale strongman attack. If there were another attack like last night's, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yes, on the afternoon of the day when Ma Dahu in Xixi Village sent the compensation. There are a series of internal and external affairs arrangements in the government, and notices are posted everywhere.

Li Rong made meritorious contributions in combat and was promoted to captain of the guard.

The government guard force has been expanded, trained, and strengthened.

……

One of the strange and unlike regulations puzzled everyone in the village. Cattle, sheep and pork bones cannot be discarded indiscriminately, and need to be collected, dried, and ground into powder.

Although everyone thinks it's weird, it's still carried out.

In addition, the government purchased a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep forage and other materials. Send people to buy good horses, and the blacksmith shop recruits people to hurry up and forge weapons. The goods in the private merchant bases in various places are no longer sold, and all of them are transported back to the village......
