Chapter 43 0041 [Guests from the Mountain]

Zheng Dalang walked into the study room full of doubts.

Seeing that he was still holding the wooden box, Mrs. Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Chang Zhi County didn't agree?"

Hearing this, Zheng Dalang had a weird expression, he shook his head first, then nodded.

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng was confused and asked doubtfully, "Did he agree or not?"

Putting the wooden box containing the silver collars on the desk, Zheng Dalang sat down and said: "He didn't agree to write to the state government to dispatch the town's navy, but he said that after the archers practiced, he would send people to suppress the bandits. He also asked me to bring the silver back."

"I didn't expect that our county magistrate is actually a clean and honest official."

The last sentence has a strong sense of mockery.

hiss!
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, only to feel that her mind was filled with doubts.

In her opinion, writing to the state government and dispatching the town's navy is just a matter of effort for Changzhi County, and it has no impact on itself.

Just write a memorial, and you will get five hundred coins, and the other party will refuse such a good deed.

Instead, he plans to train troops and suppress bandits by himself...

"This Chang Yukun... Could it be that he has run into something evil?"

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Zheng choked out such a sentence.

Wu Yan at the side echoed, "I look like it too."

Makes no sense.

A cowardly and money-greedy person on weekdays suddenly transformed into a selfless and good official with a clean sleeve.

They really couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation for this change, other than bumping into evil.

Mrs. Zheng asked again: "Did he really say he wants to suppress the bandits?"

"Indeed."

Zheng Dalang nodded.

Combined with this period of time, the county government has signed up hundreds of township braves to fill up the archers, and it seems that there are some signs of suppressing bandits.

For a moment, the three looked strange.

dong dong~
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After recovering, Mrs. Zheng gave an order.

The door of the study was pushed open, and the old butler leaned halfway in and reported, "Madam, there is a visitor."

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said, "Lead me to the study."

Seeing that the old housekeeper didn't move, she couldn't help but frowned and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze?"

The old butler looked at Zheng Dalang and Wu Yan with a troubled expression, and reminded: "Ma'am, you are a guest from the mountain."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's expression changed slightly.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Dalang understood, got up and said: "I still have some things to do, so I'll go first."

"I'm leaving too."

Wu Yan also stood up.

Not long after the two left, a strong man in a short jacket and a bamboo hat walked into the study.

After the old housekeeper offered a cup of fragrant tea, he left the study and stood by the door.

Mrs. Zheng stared at the other party coldly, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The strong man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a ferocious face.

I saw an extremely long scar on his cheek, from his right forehead to his left chin, like a ferocious centipede lying on his face.

If the scar is any more slanted, I'm afraid the right eye will be lost.

"The head of the family heard that Mr. Xu was killed by bandits, and ordered a certain family to come to express their condolences."

The brawny man cupped his hands, then raised the cup of tea in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, completely ignoring that the tea was freshly brewed.

"It's intentional." Mrs. Zheng sneered.

The brawny man didn't care about Mrs. Zheng's attitude.

Putting down the teacup, he said, "Madam Zheng, now that Mr. Xu is dead, will the business continue?"

Mrs. Zheng said solemnly: "Naturally continue! Although my husband passed away, the Xu family has not collapsed yet, so we can do whatever we want!"

This business accounted for most of the Xu family's income, how could she give up.

When Master Xu was alive, he secretly colluded with Li Tianwang on Montenegro.

Master Xu is responsible for providing information, while Li Tianwang is responsible for doing it.

The stolen goods were then sold by Mr. Xu, and some of them were converted into salt, iron, grain and other materials and sent to Montenegro.

"Mrs. Zheng is really a woman who doesn't give way to a man!"

The strong man smiled and praised, and then changed his voice: "However, Mrs. Zheng, should I recalculate this account?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng said in a cold tone: "Is this what you mean, or what Li Heihu meant?"

The strong man replied: "Naturally, it means being in charge."

"How much does he want to get?"

"Eighty percent!"

Snapped!
The teacup fell heavily on the ground, and it was instantly torn apart, and even a piece of broken porcelain splashed on the strong man's body.

The next moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and several guards rushed in with knives, surrounding the strong man.

As long as Mrs. Zheng gives an order, the other party will be hacked to death with knives.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

The old housekeeper asked with concern, but stared fiercely at the strong man.

Glancing at the nursing yard surrounding him, the burly man flicked the pieces of his clothes, and said in a leisurely manner, "Mrs. Zheng, you are so angry."

"You go out first."

Madam Zheng waved her hand.

After the Nursing Court left again, she sneered and said: "It's probably impossible, you go back and tell Li Heihu, don't think that if my husband is dead, orphans and widows will be bullied, and it will be a big deal. My Xu family is a great way to cut off a source of wealth, but if what you did is exposed, I'm afraid it's not the Zhen Haijun that will be suppressed, but the Western Army on Qinfeng Road!"

She knew that the other party was not kind, but she didn't expect Li Heihu to be so greedy.

When Master Xu was around, the Xu family occupied [-]%, but when Master Xu died, Li Heihu immediately demanded [-]%.

Hearing this, the strong man's expression changed slightly, and he said with a sneer, "Mrs. Zheng, why are you making such a fuss? It's business, we need to talk more."

"Up to [-]%."

"Madam Zheng, [-]% is too little. You have to be considerate of us. Now that there are many brothers on the mountain, the cost of eating and chewing is also high, let's say [-]%."

After a lot of verbal confrontation and bargaining, they finally settled on six or four points.

Mrs. Zheng also understands that today is different from the past, once Mr. Xu dies, their Xu family's weight will not be so important.

"Sixty percent is sixty percent, but you have to promise me one condition."

The strong man said vigilantly: "It depends on the conditions."

"It shouldn't be difficult for you, just help me kill someone."

"Who?"

"Han Er, this is the fight that killed my husband. This man is quite brave, ordinary people are no match, and now he has fled into the mountains."

Hearing her conditions, the strong man smiled and said: "Madam Zheng, don't worry, this matter is easy for a certain family. In ten days, I will send the head of Han Er as a sacrifice to Master Xu."

The snake has its way, and the rat has its way.

For others, it is really difficult to find a person who escaped into the vast and deep mountains.

But for their group of bandits who occupy the mountain as king, it is extremely easy.

Although Black Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Linzi County, Li Tianwang's name is still very useful among the bandits in this area.

As long as you give a few orders, there will be brothers on the green forest road to help you find it.

As for what is quite brave, the strong man didn't care at all.

"A certain family can't stay long, so I'll take my leave first."

The strong man put on his bamboo hat again, opened the door and left the study.
