On the coast of the East China Sea, a fishing village that has experienced the vicissitudes of time.

As night fell, every house in the village lit up an oil lamp.

Under the dim candlelight, the family gathered around the table to eat dinner, occasionally complaining about a few short trivial matters in the family.

"Song Yu Song Boss has asked people to send money to our fishing village again, everyone go to the square to get it!"

Suddenly an excited voice sounded outside the house, and then more people shouted with joy.

"Everyone in every family has to go!"

"It's three gold cakes per person, and everyone has a share!"

"Even if it's a newborn child, as long as you hold it, you will have three gold coins!"

......

The family, who was eating, heard the excited voices of the villagers, threw down the dishes and chopsticks, and ran out of the house with their families.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and wealth moves people's hearts.

Hearing that everyone can receive money, the whole fishing village comes alive.

Everyone ran out of the house in a frenzy and scrambled to the square in the center of the village.

In the crowd, Hei San walked to the square with the help of his family on crutches, and some people even carried their parents who were lying on the hospital bed and had only one breath left, and rushed to the square to collect the money despite the cold wind of the winter night.

At this moment, on the square in the center of the village, countless villagers gathered on the third floor and the outer three floors.

In the very center of the square, a man in black and a dozen strong men stood there.

More than a dozen strong men held torches and arranged grains in a mouth-shaped shape

In the middle of their enclosure, there were mountains of gold coins stacked by two people.

Those gold coins reflected a dazzling light under the light of the fire, which made the eyes of many people present look straight.

So many gold coins, so much money, is this all about to be distributed to his village? It seems that three people can't get it all!

Thinking of this, many of the villagers' breathing became rapid, and their eyes were staring at the gold coins and they did not dare to blink.

The old village chief hurried over with the support of Niu Er and several villagers, and the villagers also consciously gave way out.

The old village chief came to the center of the square, and the man in black who had been standing with his hands hanging down slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of narrow snake eyes.

The old village chief looked at this person, and felt a faint uncomfortable feeling in his heart: "The old man is the village chief of this fishing village, dare to ask Your Excellency?"

The snake-eyed man in black looked at the old village chief and said lukewarmly: "You came just in time, I want to ask how many people there are in your fishing village!"

The old village chief frowned slightly, looked at the man in black and said with a smile: "I listen to the villagers, the people sent by you Song Yu and Master Song are you going to give three gold coins to each person in our fishing village according to the number of people?"

The man in black looked at the old village chief and nodded slowly: "Let me ask you how many people there are in your fishing village!"

Although the old village chief was a little dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, he thought that the other party had come to send money to our fishing village after all, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

Three gold coins for one person, what a problem these three gold coins can solve!

You can't offend this group of people because of your own likes and dislikes.

The old village chief stabilized his mentality, looked at the man in black and said truthfully: "There are a total of 3,456 men, women and children in our fishing village!"

As the village head, the old village chief naturally has a real-time grasp of how many people are in the village.

These 3,456 people are counted by Zhang Xuanji.

Although Zhang Xuanji only came to the village a few days ago, he was the first to join the total number of people in the fishing village after the old village chief knew about it

"Three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six?"

The man in black repeated, his head slightly bowed, as if thinking about something.

Soon he raised his head, looked at the old village chief and said, "No, your people haven't arrived?"

"Don't worry if you don't arrive, let's talk to us first!" shouted the impatient villagers in the crowd.

The man in black glanced at the man coldly: "If the people are not here, they can't be sent, otherwise how will they be counted if they don't have the account at that time?"

The old village chief frowned, looked at the restless villagers and said: "Fellow villagers, what is ours is ours, and we can't force it if it's not ours.

"Okay! Let's listen to the village chief!"

Niu Er took the lead in shouting, and all the villagers also expressed their willingness to comply.

The old village chief looked at the crowd gathered around the square, and once again reminded everyone to pay attention to safety, don't squeeze until they fall, and quickly stabilized people's hearts.

From beginning to end, the man in black kept clasping his hands and watched this scene coldly.

After the old village chief explained to the villagers, he looked at the man in black and asked, "I don't know if there are so many people, how do you know that people are not here?"

The man in black snorted coldly and ignored it.

After a while, the man in black looked at the old village chief again and said coldly: "Just now, another group of people came to the periphery, and now your whole village is quiet, why are you still three short of your total number?

The old village chief said coldly: "I have been the village chief in this fishing village for decades, and I know everything about the fishing village, I know how many people there are, why lie about it?"

"That's not allowed!"

A middle-aged man holding a torch next to the man in black said: "Who knows if this old thing deliberately lied about the number of people and wanted to receive more money!"

"Bastard!"

The old village chief He had suffered a humiliation, and his face suddenly sank: "I have been innocent all my life, how can I do such a reluctant, and the heart of a man is the belly of a gentleman, and the old man is angry!"

The man in black glanced at the prime man who said that, and his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed: "I didn't hire you to make trouble for me, don't talk if you don't let you speak!"

The prime man smiled: "Brother in black, I'm not afraid that you will be deceived, after all, some old people are very bad now!

"Uhh

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he clutched his neck in horror.

But where could he cover the head that had fallen, and the sound of blood gushing out stunned everyone present.

The man in black looked at the young man who fell to the ground and kept convulsing and spurting blood, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu spent so much money to hire you over, I didn't listen to you talk nonsense to me!"

Everyone around was stunned to see this scene at this moment, and even the adults forgot to cover the eyes of the child next to them.

More than a dozen strong men holding torches were stunned again, and then rushed up one after another.

After checking the situation of their companions, several of them looked at their companions with tears in their eyes: "The fat man is dead, he was killed, quickly surround the murderer, don't let him escape!"

More than a dozen men in black stepped forward at the same time to surround the men in black, their faces full of anger.
