This arena is not ordinary

Chapter 118 The Crisis Outside the City
The price of 2000 taels was reduced to 500 taels. With such a huge gap, it was impossible for the bustard to agree.

She sighed and cried miserably: "Shen Chen, you are embarrassing the slave family. It is not easy for the slave family to open the Spring Breeze Garden. There are so many people relying on the slave family for food. The slave family not only has to be responsible for them, but also has to take care of them. Plus In the past two years, the market has gotten worse and worse, and life has become more and more difficult..."

As he spoke, the old bustard began to wipe away his tears and began to cry miserably.

Otherwise, no one can save fuel in this kind of place.

When the bustard started acting, she cried whenever she said she wanted to.Those who don't know may have been fooled by her superb acting skills.

However, Shen Lin was not fooled.

He glanced at the old bustard and let her cry poorly. After she calmed down, Shen Lin shook his head: "500 taels is already a lot, and besides, Miss Xiao Li has made a lot of money for you over the years. It is impossible to lose money. Everyone is open-minded and old acquaintances, so open the skylight and speak honestly, don't hide it."

Seeing that Shen Tun could not be fooled, the old bustard sighed softly: "I also see that I am an old acquaintance with Shen Tun and Xu Ping, otherwise, I would not let you redeem this little Li no matter what. In that case, Then the servants will stop going around in circles with Shen Tun and Xu Tun!"

The old bustard looked at Shen Lin, then at Xu Ping'an, and gritted his teeth, "Then a compromise, 1000 taels... As long as Xu Tun takes out 1000 taels, how about I give you Xiao Li's deed of sale?"

"1000 taels?!"

Xu Ping'an was overjoyed at first, but soon became sad.

1000 taels less!

But the problem is, 1000 taels is still an astronomical figure for him.

He had to work without food or drink for ten years to make it all together.

ten years……

Can Miss Xiaoli wait for him for ten years?

"Yes, can it be less?" Xu Pingan hesitated.

"Xu Chu, this is already the bottom line of the slave family. It is because you made a concession because of your love for Xiao Li. It really cannot be less..." The old bustard shook his head.

Xu Pingan hesitated and struggled, where could he get 1000 taels?

"700 taels!"

At this time, Shen Lin spoke again, looked at the bustard, and said, "This is our bottom line price!"

"This is not good, this is too little..."

The madam shook her head immediately, and when she wanted to say something, Shen Lin looked at her calmly again: "Besides, we can make you a promise!"

As he said that, he glanced at the old bustard: "As long as Xu Pingan and I are still working in Qingshui County, as long as you don't violate the law and discipline in Chunfengyuan, I will keep you safe and sound in Chunfengyuan, how about it?!"

The madam's heart skipped a beat, this condition...is very attractive!

She quickly fell into hesitation.

From ancient times to the present, those who can open brothels must not be ordinary people.

But Qingshui County is different from other places. If a small place wants to open a brothel, it is natural to have sophistication.Over the years, the old bustard has managed to win over the power of officials and gained a firm foothold in Qingshui County.

But even so, all kinds of troubles are still inevitable!
Since she got in touch with this Xu catcher a year ago, the troubles in Chunfengyuan have been reduced a lot.Those local hooligans who caused troubles on weekdays also disappeared without a trace.

With the relationship with the county government, she can avoid a lot of troubles in Chunfengyuan.

Like the case of Ru Lin's murder last time, if it wasn't for the action of Shen Qiu in front of her, I'm afraid she would suffer heavy losses in Chunfengyuan.

If she could win over the arresters from the county government, she would be very happy.

Therefore, after hearing Shen Lin's conditions, the bustard hesitated and weighed the pros and cons for a short while, then finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth: "Okay, 700 taels is 700 taels!"

"As long as Xu Chu can come up with 700 taels, I will return Xiao Li's contract to you!"

"A word is settled!"

"..."

Qingshui County, the streets.

Two figures walked down the street.

"Brother Shen, you are really amazing!"

Xu Pingan looked at Shen Lin excitedly. Brother Shen just moved his lips and cut Miss Xiao Li's contract of sale from 2000 taels to 700 taels.

A total of 300 taels was lost, which was enough to save him 13 years of struggle!
Xu Pingan was very excited, but he was also very fortunate, fortunately he went to see Brother Shen in advance, otherwise if he went to see the old bustard alone, he might be fooled by the old bustard and there would be no pants left.

"Don't be too happy!"

Seeing his excited and joyful appearance, Shen Lin poured cold water on him: "Do you have 700 taels?"

When Xu Pingan heard this, he was stunned.

The joy just now disappeared completely.

Yup!

Even if the price was cut by more than half, if you want to redeem Miss Xiao Li, you still need 700 taels of silver!
Where can he get 700 taels of silver? !

According to his current salary, after deducting the deposit of more than 100 taels, there are still 600 taels left unaccounted for.If you want to make enough, you have to wait at least five or six years without eating or drinking...

By then the day lily will be cold!
"Brother Shen, what should we do now?!"

Xu Pingan looked at Shen Lin with a sad face, as if thinking of something, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Shen Lin looked warily: "Don't look at me like that, I have no money!"

"Brother Shen, would you like to lend me some?"

"Don't borrow!"

Shen Lin shook his head: "I have no money!"

"Don't get me wrong, we are still good brothers for other things, if you want to borrow money... there is no way!"

Xu Pingan: "..."

"Hey, what should I do?"

Xu Ping'an's face was full of sadness, and the joy of bargaining just now disappeared completely.

The price was cut down, but he still couldn't afford it.

Even if it is to borrow, where can he borrow it?
He didn't have many friends in Qingshui County, and everyone was generally poor. How could he borrow 600 taels? !

A penny stumps a hero!
Xu Ping'an was particularly frowning at the moment.

scratch your head!
"So, as a human being, you still have to do what you can."

Shen Lin glanced at him, "I said earlier that you and Miss Xiao Li are not suitable. If you don't listen, you will have to bear the consequences yourself..."

Xu Ping'an had a bitter face, and he also knew this truth.

but……

Emotional matters, who can say accurately?

"It's still the same sentence, if you don't talk about feelings, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Shen Lin patted him on the shoulder: "This is the path you chose, and you have to finish it even if you cry. I've already helped you here!"

Ask yourself, Shen Lin is already very interesting.

Help him with tricks, help him get close to Miss Xiaoli, create space for the two of them, and even help him bargain... Shen Lin, a good brother, has already succeeded in doing more than Xu Ping'an's father.

"Hey……"

Xu Pingan was very entangled, thinking about it, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Shen, you, do you know of any way to get money quickly?"

"Know!"

"real?!"

Xu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "What?"

"Grab the bank!"

"..."

Xu Pingan's eyes dimmed instantly, and he said with a bitter face: "It's already this time, brother Shen, stop joking!"

"I'm not kidding!"

Shen Lin glanced at him: "In your current situation, if you want to get 600 taels in a short period of time, robbing the bank is the fastest and least risky way."

"Of course, you can also go to an underground casino to try your luck, or you can become a thief, steal from the rich and give to the poor..."

Xu Pingan made a bitter face: "Brother Shen, we are officials, how can we do such illegal and criminal things?"

"Isn't this how you want to get money quickly?"

Shen Linyi waved his hand: "Isn't it a daydream if you want to get money quickly without breaking the law?"

As we all know, ways to get quick money are recorded in the law.Ordinary people want to get rich quickly in a short period of time, and there is no other way but to take risks.

Xu Pingan sighed!
As an arrester of the Qingshui County Government, Xu Ping'an has a righteous heart, upholding justice and fulfilling his duties in his heart.

He can't do anything illegal and criminal!
So……

"It can't be saved, you can find a way yourself!"

Shen Lin glanced at him: "I won't tell you any more, Miao Miao is waiting for me to go home for dinner, you can figure it out for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, leaving Xu Pingan to struggle in place, Shen Lin turned and went home.

600 taels is already the salary of a small catcher for five or six years.Xu Pingan wanted to get it all together. In a small place like Qingshui County, there was no other way but to take risks and commit crimes.

This is indeed a very headache problem!
Of course, things are not completely hopeless.

Xu Pingan wants to make money in a short period of time without breaking the law, and it's not like he has no chance at all.

Among the counties and counties of the Daning Dynasty, the names and appearances of a group of wanted criminals would be announced every once in a while, and the knights of the rivers and lakes would go to arrest and bring them to justice.

The bounties on these wanted criminals are not low. If you can catch a few wanted criminals, you can get a big bounty, maybe you can make up 600 taels!

But the problem is that there are very few wanted criminals in Qingshui County, and even if there are, they may not be caught.

In any case, Xu Ping'an wanted to pool money to marry his wife.

It's not that easy!
……

at dusk.

Inside a residence in the eastern suburbs of Qingshui County.

The courtyard at the entrance was cut to pieces, and the courtyard was in a mess.

"Damn it, where did he go?"

In the courtyard, several murderous strong men searched for the whereabouts of a person.

"Damn it, Chen Jianghe didn't run away, did he?"

"I finally waited until this day, and he was finally unlucky. This old man has to settle the matter with him!"

"Chen, get out, if you don't come out, I'll burn your house down!"

"..."

In the courtyard, several strong men searched the courtyard angrily, but they never found anyone.

"That kid really ran away?!"

"Even if he runs fast, don't get caught by me, I won't kill him!"

Several people were cursing.

They all have grievances with Chen Jianghe!
In the past, Chen Jianghe was the head of the county yamen, and he was in charge of more than a dozen yamen servants. Relying on his official background, he acted recklessly and recklessly in Qingshui County, and made many enemies!

At that time, everyone dared not speak out!

After all, no one dared to offend the people in the county government, so even though many people complained, they could only endure it secretly.

But who would have thought that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven?
Is Chen Jianghe unlucky?
He was dismissed by the county magistrate and will be driven out of Qingshui County.

This news came out from the county office at some point, and it was quickly known by many people.

Those who originally had a grudge against Chen Jianghe were pleasantly surprised when they heard the news.Some people were filled with righteous indignation and shouted that God has eyes!

Some people came directly to seek revenge!
If you don't take revenge, you won't find anyone.

As for the former government servants under Chen Jianghe, after he was dismissed, they completely disregarded their relationship with him.

Right now, Chen Jianghe has become a bereaved dog, and everyone shouts and beats him!
Several burly men searched the courtyard twice, but left without finding Chen Jianghe's whereabouts.

The dilapidated courtyard gradually quieted down.

Evening and dusk when it gets dark.

A sneaky figure cautiously approached the outside of the yard, turned over the yard with difficulty, and ran into the room.

It was Chen Jianghe!
At this time, Chen Jianghe's head was still wrapped in bandages, and he looked particularly horrible.His eyes were reddish, looking at the messy yard that had been turned over, he was very angry, and the resentment in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Tiger fell and Pingyang was bullied by dogs!
Now that he has lost power, those former enemies have all come to him!

This Qingshui County can't stay for a long time, I'm afraid life will be in danger!
He will avenge this revenge sooner or later!
Chen Jianghe's cold eyes were full of resentment.

"Xu Ping'an, Shen Lin, and that little bastard, you all wait for me..."

Chen Jianghe quickly came to the inner room, lifted a wooden board from the ground, and took out a large bag of silver from it.

There is a lot of gold in it!

This is the money he has obtained by secretly squeezing protection fees over the years, which is enough for him to live a prosperous life after leaving Qingshui County!
After carefully putting away the gold and silver, he quickly packed up the two clothes from the room.

Afterwards, he left the courtyard, taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly left the city.

……

The sky darkened.

Chen Jianghe also slipped out of the county seat smoothly, bypassing the official road and leaving along the path.

When Qingshui County was almost invisible behind him, Chen Jianghe was slightly relieved.

He fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

In order to prevent being found by those enemies, he didn't even dare to hire a carriage.Now that he has lost power, those enemies hate him deeply. If he is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Wait for me!"

Chen Jianghe's resentful eyes were ferocious, he took a short break and got up, ready to leave.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound in the surrounding grass that was originally silent.

Is there any movement? !

"Who?!"

Chen Jianghe spoke sternly.

"Someone?!"

As soon as the words fell, seven or eight black shadows appeared from the surrounding grass in an instant, surrounding Chen Jianghe.

"You, who are you?!"

When he saw so many people suddenly appearing in the wilderness at night, Chen Jianghe's face was frightened and uneasy.

Qiu, Qiu family? !
"You, who are you guys? Don't, don't mess around!"

Chen Jianghe was terrified, and when he saw them surrounding him, his heart sank: "I, I am the arrester of the Qingshui County Government, you, who are you guys?!"

At this time, Chen Jianghe held on to the fear in his heart, used his identity to strengthen his courage, and tried to shock these people.

"Qingshui County Government Office?!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared in the crowd, staring at him: "Are you the catcher of the Qingshui County Government?"

"Yes, it's me..."

Chen Jianghe looked at the middle-aged man in sight, his pupils panicked slightly: "You, who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am, if you want to survive, just answer me a few questions honestly!"

In the darkness, on the path overgrown with weeds, the moonlight slowly shone down, shining on the face of the middle-aged man, adding a bit of gloomy coldness.

Chen Jianghe was trembling all over. He had never seen such a posture before, and he was frightened stupid: "You, you ask..."
