Chapter 54
Seeing the county magistrate sitting upright, Mr. Gu suddenly ticked off success or failure, and he winked at a servant next to him from the corner of his eye.
After a while, there were three more boxes of silver in the room.
The flashing cold light blinded the county magistrate.
"What do you mean? Why do you want to bribe me over and over again?"
The county magistrate cautiously pointed to the several large boxes in front of him, his eyes were still tentative.
If it was just for Xiangshan Village, Mr. Gu didn't need to give him so much money.
"It's nothing interesting, I just want you to know my sincerity."
After thinking about it for a long time, the county magistrate stretched out his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin, with hesitation in his eyes.
The servant next to him sighed, which made the county magistrate's heart skip a beat, and he was baffled.
"Why did you suddenly sigh?"
"Our master is so sincere, you just can't see it, the county magistrate, this silver is half of our master's net worth."
Hearing this, the county magistrate was shocked, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is what he said true or false?"
Although Mr. Gu didn't explain it, his expression seemed to be acquiescing.
"It doesn't matter, since the county magistrate is in such a difficult situation, I'll let someone take the money away."
After saying this, he got up and made a gesture to leave. When he got to the door, the county magistrate hurriedly said: "Don't be so anxious, let the country think about it, you sit down and have a sip of tea first."
Looking at the white silver, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
Every year, the salary distributed by the imperial court is really too little, and the county magistrate is also a lustful and greedy person. There are thirteen concubines in his family, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers.
But they are not idiots, and they will try to deduct some money from the relevant hands every day to use it. Over time, the county magistrate has become a veritable pauper.
Mr. Gu was also sure of this point, so he came to send money in a grand manner, and he was sure that the county magistrate would not refuse his request.
Three cups of tea have been changed on the table, Mr. Gu frowned.
"Magistrate, haven't you thought about it yet? Although I came here sincerely, my time is limited, and I still have business to do at home."
In Xiangshan Village, Mr. Gu is one of the best merchants. Although the status of merchants in this dynasty is relatively low, they are rich, and there are many people who want to curry favor with merchants.
Hearing his urging, the magistrate nodded silently.
"Okay, I promise you that you will send troops to Xiangshan Village, but you also have to promise me that you will not harm the people inside."
Mr. Gu smiled: "Of course I won't hurt them, after all I don't want to be in prison."
The two hit it off immediately, and when Mr. Gu left, the county magistrate quickly squatted on the ground, grabbing a handful of silver in one hand, his eyes gleaming greedily.
"Great, get rich, get rich."
Just when he was lamenting that he was going to become a rich man, a black figure suddenly appeared at the door and disappeared soon after.
……
"Wanduo, go to the firewood room and see those thugs, killers, and guards, and see if they are dead?"
Mo Qiubai's tone was very cold, he put his hands behind his back, when he stood on the stone, his back was straight and his temperament was perfect.
Wan Duo, who squatted on the ground with his legs already useless, sighed silently, his face flushed.
"Can you change someone? My legs are useless now, and I don't want to walk around."
Hearing this, Mo Qiubai glanced around.
"Who wants to go to the woodshed?"
The situation of the others is better than that of Wan Duo. Now Wan Duo is the captain of the guard, and his daily tasks are more difficult than those of others.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one wanted to go to the firewood room, because there were vicious people locked up inside, if they broke free from the hemp rope, wouldn't they have to wait for death in place?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Mo Qiubai's eyes darkened a lot.
"Don't even want to go to the firewood room? Are you so timid?"
At this moment, a young man suddenly stood up, and he tremblingly raised his right hand.
"I would like to go to the woodshed."
His words attracted everyone's attention, and Wan Duo turned his head. When he saw this young man, a smile appeared on his face.
"You were the one who volunteered last time, and this time you are the one who is so bold. Aren't you afraid of those villains who know martial arts?"
The talking young man was the little boy who took the initiative to deliver meals to the guards last time, and there was still a trace of shyness on his face.
"Of course I am willing. After all, I am now a member of the guards. I swear to protect Xiangshan Village to the death. The things I have to face in the future must be more difficult and dangerous than this."
It's just to deliver a meal to see if they are disobedient, what's the problem.
Besides, they were all tied up, no different from a child with no strength to restrain a chicken.
Seeing the expression on the little boy's face, Mo Qiubai took two steps forward, and put his hand on the little boy's shoulder.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Qian Duoduo."
A burst of laughter resounded through the forest, and Mo Qiubai glanced at the others from the corner of his eye.
"what's so funny?"
This name is too simple and rough, and his parents must have high hopes for him.
"Okay, Duoduo, I will leave this task to you in the future, including delivering food to them, can I? Are you afraid?"
Qian Duoduo shook his head firmly, and he even raised his hand to swear.
"I……"
"Don't swear."
Mo Qiubai slapped his hand with a slap, with anxiety still on his face.
Because his reaction was too abnormal, Qian Duoduo and the other strong men looked puzzled.
"Brother, what's the matter with you, it's just a simple oath, I want to express my determination."
Hearing this, Mo Qiubai coughed unnaturally, he didn't expect to see someone angry at that time, after all, it's quite scary when someone gets angry.
"It's nothing, children's families, don't swear badly, what if one day it is verified?"
His good talk made everyone shut up.
The sunset in the sky gradually dissipated, and many villagers had already started to walk home with hoes on their backs. At this time, Qian Duoduo also walked to the firewood house with a rice bucket, and he took a deep breath.
More or less, I was still a little scared in my heart, after all, Qian Duoduo had already seen the vicious appearance of the people inside.
After a while, Qian Duoduo knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"I'm in."
After opening the door, a magnified human face was suddenly reflected in Qian Duoduo's pupils. He took a step back in fright, his chest undulating violently.
