"What are you?" The head catcher on duty asked.

"Let's kill a bear and carry it to get the reward!" Liu Quan explained.

"Wait here, I'll report it." The headcatcher hurriedly ran towards the city.

Bears, like tigers, are a great harm to the hearts of the people!

In order to encourage brave men to eliminate harm, local governments have set up heavy rewards, and it is common to fight tiger heroes, but it is rare to hear that someone killed a bear! Just because the bear is far more terrifying than the tiger.

"It's really a bear!"

"Well done! The daughter of the Lao Tian family was taken away by a blind bear! You can be regarded as a disservice to all of us! ”

Listening to the admiration of the people, Liu Quan couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

Although he didn't kill this bear, the person who killed the bear was from his small fishing village! The people are praising Qin Town, aren't they praising his small fishing village?

When the master of the yamen heard the news, he threw his head up and shouted, "Where is the hero who killed the bear?" ”

"Here!" Liu Quan hurriedly beckoned and led someone over.

"Is that you?" The master squinted and glanced at Liu Quan, only to feel that this person was thin and thin, and he didn't look like he could kill a bear!

"It's not me, it's him!" Liu Quan hurriedly pushed Qin Zhen in front of the master, accompanied by a smiling face: "This is my brother Qin Zhen, it was the bear he killed!" ”

"Him?"

Seeing that it was a child, not to mention that everyone was shocked, even the well-informed master was shocked. The master looked Qin Zhen up and down for a long time and sneered.

"Didn't you just pick up the corpse of a blind bear and come over to ask for a reward? He's a child, I'm afraid he can't even lift a knife, and he can still kill a bear? ”

"Even if he kills it, can it be fake?" Chen Shu immediately couldn't bear it: "If you have the ability, you can go to the forest and pick one up for me?" ”

The master had a straight face, and just as he wanted to have a seizure, he saw Liu Quan licking his smiling face and coming up, and a heavy money bag was stuffed into his hand.

"My lord, we are all good citizens, don't dare to deceive people!" Liu Quan squeezed his eyebrows: "This bear is really killed by us!" ”

The master weighed the money bag, and smiled: "Not bad, not bad!" You really killed it! He patted Qin Zhen's head and praised: "You can fight wild bears at a young age!" What a boy hero! I will report to the county order and ask for a reward for you! ”

Suddenly, the master raised his eyebrows.

"This bounty ......"

"I know the rules!" Liu Quan hurriedly responded.

"Brother Liu, what are the rules?" Qin Zhen asked in a low voice.

"The reward is one hundred taels, we can only take half of it, and the other half is eighty percent of the filial piety to the county master! One percent is the tax money, and one percent is the master's tea fee. Liu Quan explained as he led Qin Zhen towards the yamen.

Qin Zhen was really disgusted by the greed of the coastal county order.

Seeing that Qin Zhen's face was full of anger, Liu Quan persuaded in a low voice: "If you have fifty taels, you will be content!" I heard that the neighboring county is even darker, and there is an unlucky guy who finally killed a bear, and his legs were bitten off, and it was only ten taels of silver in his hand, so let's laugh secretly if we have fifty taels! ”

At this time, the master handed over the silver reward and a plaque that read "Bear Fighting Hero".

"This word, but the county magistrate himself wrote it! You're going to have to keep it alive! The master said meaningfully.

"I understand! I know! Liu Quan skillfully took out five taels of silver from the money bag and handed it over: his demeanor was respectful: "Please drink tea!" ”

After saying that, he patted Qin Zhen: "Kneel down and kowtow." ”

Qin Zhen reluctantly waved the gate of the county government.

The master took the money and left with a smile.

"Damn, I said that the reward was one hundred taels of silver, but I only got fifty! Dog officer! The angry Chen Shu scolded.

This money, but Qin Zhen fought hard! That dog official didn't do anything, so he took half of it! At the end of the day, they'll have to kneel down and kowtow to him! What kind of bullshit is this?!

Liu Quan looked accustomed to it, and helped persuade Chen Shu to dissipate his anger.

Qin Zhen took the money silently, took out ten taels from it and handed it to Liu Quan.

"What are you doing? This is unacceptable! Liu Quan pushed and rubbed and refused to accept it.

Qin Zhen forced it into Liu Quan's hand: "Brother Liu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to take these rewards until I could pay them back!" Just now I saw you stuffing money into my master's hand, and I can't let you pay for money after a long trip, right? ”

He now knew why the old village chief deliberately asked him to listen to Liu Quan's words more.

In this cannibalistic world, human life is not valuable, and only by listening to people's persuasion can we have enough food.

Liu Quan no longer shirked when he heard this, accepted the silver and said with a smile: "You kid is on the road!" If you can't hunt in the future, follow me to run the business! ”

"That's a good feeling!"

Qin Zhen took out a few taels of silver and distributed them to the fellow villagers.

"Along the way, I relied on the transportation of my brothers, and I didn't pay respect at all, so I used it to buy wine and drink!"

As he spoke, several officials came over with knives and cut off the bear's head as evidence.

Prevent duplicate rewards.

"What to do with this bear?" Chen Shu asked.

"Leave that pair of bear paws back to make soup, and sell the rest." Qin Zhen didn't want to pull this thing back.

"I'll go and get Juan'er's household registration first, and there will be Uncle Lao Chen here."

Buying a household registration is not a hassle.

Make up the tax and pay a few taels of silver, and the formalities will be completed.

With a thin piece of paper, from now on, Liu Juan will no longer be a homeless person, but his wife in Qinzhen.

After the household registration was completed, Qin Zhen went to find Chen Shu and them.

The county seat is not big, and it is not difficult to find, just find someone to ask where to sell bears.

From a distance, I saw a large group of people surrounding the market.

"This is a bear! It is said that this thing is all changed by immortals! Eat it to live forever! ”

"Don't talk about eating, even a bite of it is a longevity!"

Ordinary people naturally couldn't afford bear meat, and they all watched with blank eyes, waiting for some landlord and gentry to come and buy this rare wild thing.

"How's it going?" Qin Zhen leaned in.

"There were just a few groups of people who wanted to buy it, but they were all taken away by your Uncle Chen." Liu Quan had a bitter face.

"Ten taels of silver also want to buy a bear? Can bears still have the same price as wild boars? Isn't that! Chen Shu put his face: "With this amount of oily skin, it can be worth dozens of taels when you peel it off and wear it as a dress!" ”

"How can anyone in this backcountry have so much money?" Liu Quan is still persuading: "It's okay!" ”

"That can't be sold cheaply!" Chen Shu was resolute: "What price should be what price!" It's really not good, let's pull this thing back, wait for the skin collector to come in a few days, and then sell it for a high price! ”

At this time, a middle-aged man who was not good-looking came over, glanced at Xiong, then at Qin Zhen, and asked in a deep voice.

"You killed this bear?"

"Yes." Qin Zhen nodded.

The middle-aged man reached out to touch it, but was slapped away by Chen Shu.

"Don't touch it, don't touch it!" Chen Shu squinted.

"I'm always going to know if this thing is a sick bear." The man asked, "How do you sell it?" ”

"One hundred taels of silver!" Chen Shu hurriedly said.

The middle-aged man didn't make a sound, but looked at Qin Zhen.

"How much can you give?"

"Twenty taels."

"Take it."

Qin Zhen stopped Chen Shu.

"Accept your affection."

The middle-aged man threw down a bag of money, put the cart rope on himself, and pulled the bear away slowly.

"I'm a good girl, how strong this person must be! The bear that so many of us can pull away, can he drag it away alone? Liu Quan was dumbfounded.
