I raise dragons in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42 The Magistrate's Calculation

"Master County Magistrate, please speak if you have something to say."

Zhang Yi said that there are probably not many people who dare to talk to the county magistrate like this, but Zhang Yi is not shy.

"Hahaha, you kid, you are so straightforward, it suits me very well!"

In the eyes of Sima County Magistrate, Zhang Yi is just a child.

"Then I will say something fair. Fifty taels of gold is less!"

wow,
Everyone was in an uproar, and the county magistrate Sima actually helped Zhang Yi speak.

Zhang Yi was also very curious, why did the county magistrate help him? Is this generating income for him?Of course, if this is the case, then he will not refuse.

This confused Xia Ping.

"Lord Sima..."

At this time, he probably felt a little regretful, and he agreed to Zhang Yi's request if he knew it earlier.

"Listen to me, Zhang Yi's force is amazing, and he saved your daughter again, but you Xia Jiafei didn't thank him, and let Tang Xing lead people to fight against him, this is your fault, and he just now That's right, your daughter's life is worth more than 50 taels of gold, he also said that it's just a collection, so I think it's appropriate to add another ten taels, 60 taels of gold."

Xia Ping complained straight away, he thought the county magistrate would speak for him, but now it seems that he was tricked.

"Hahaha, the county magistrate really understands! It's really nice to speak!"

Zhang Yi is of course happy, and it would be even better if he could fight for more than ten taels.

Then he asked: "How is it, Xia Ping, when will you give me your money?"

After Xia Ping looked at his daughter, he sighed.At this time, Sima County Magistrate walked over directly, whispered a few words, and his expression eased.

"Come here, bring out 60 taels of gold."

Soon, someone went to the accounting room and took out 60 taels of gold, and Xia Ping handed it to Zhang Yi on his own initiative.

Xia Ping greeted and said: "My daughter is less disciplined on weekdays, and it will cause you trouble."

But Zhang Yi replied: "It's okay, as long as the money is in place, you can make any mess!"

Xia Ping laughed dryly, suddenly his face changed, and he turned to Tang Xing.

"Tang Xing, come here!"

Now Tang Xing was a little limp.

"Master, I'm for the Xia family!"

Xia Ping sneered: "For the Xia family? Slandering Miss, what is the crime? I will not punish you. From today on, you are no longer the housekeeper of my Xia family. As for your slander, it will be handed over to the county magistrate." Deal with it!"

Because of this Tang Xing, Xia Ping almost lost all face because of him, and his daughter almost suffered injustice for this.

At this time, Xia Ping turned his eyes to look at Sima County Magistrate, and Sima County Magistrate immediately understood.

Sima County Magistrate shouted violently: "Tang Xing, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes? Do you know how much the crime of defamation is?"

This startled Tang Xing, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"My lord, I was wrong."

"Come here, take him down and send him to the prison!"

"Yes!"

Yang Ba took the order.

"Tang Xing, let's go!"

"Yang Ba, help!"

"Sorry, I can't save you, this is an order, I can't resist, no one can help you today!"

Although Yang Ba is a rough man, he also knows that in front of many people, the county magistrate doesn't dare to act recklessly, and he can do whatever he should, unless the county magistrate doesn't want to be the magistrate.

So Tang Xing had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky until he was escorted down.

Sima County Magistrate walked to Zhang Yi's side.

"Zhang Yi, I think you seem to be very short of money!"

Zhang Yi glanced at the Sima county magistrate vigilantly, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"What is the opinion of the county magistrate?"

Obviously, he was seen through by this man. He was indeed short of money, and very short of it. Ginseng was eaten as food, so how could he not be short of money?

Even if he has 100 taels of gold now, it is still a question of how much ginseng he can buy with this money.Therefore, more money must be made.

And this county magistrate seems to have something to say.

"Hahaha, I think you are also a straightforward person, and I won't beat around the bush. Let's put it this way, do you know that there are many horse thieves outside my city?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people around changed. People were deeply hurt by horse thieves. You must know that they robbed everywhere on horseback, which was more powerful than mountain thieves.Moreover, they all commit crimes on the move, unlike bandits who have a copycat as their base.

"I've heard of it. How? What does the county magistrate want?"

Zhang Yi had heard that there were many horse thieves around here, and he often heard legends about these horse thieves when he first entered the city.

These horse thieves are said to be unattended. The government is now busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there is not much time to manage them, so they have been allowed to develop, and now they have begun to take shape.

But what does this horse thief have to do with money?The county magistrate wouldn't let himself rob horse thieves, would he?Just like he robbed the bandits before.

Sima County Magistrate laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm introducing you to Qianmen."

"Oh? Lord Sima won't let me rob horse thieves, will he?"

"You only know one, and the other."

"Oh?"

"Recently, the imperial court has been busy suppressing the Yellow Turban Army, and now they can't tell who they are from to deal with those hateful horse thieves. Therefore, many imperial lists have been posted in major cities and towns. Anyone who can destroy the horse thieves will be rewarded!"

"What is the reward?"

"A while ago, I probably read that there are quite a few bounties. Basically, every person killed will get a hang. However, it is basically calculated according to the leader. As long as you can get the head of a leader, it will be calculated as ten taels of gold. The deputy leader is five taels of gold. Another point, which is very important, is that everything belonging to the horse thief belongs to the destroyer, as long as you have talent, the government will not interfere!"

What the magistrate Sima said was the famous horse thieves on the list. This is indeed a way, but most of these horse thieves have no base, so it is naturally difficult to eliminate them, and where can they be found?
But as long as you have the money, there is no reason not to do it.Moreover, all the things belonging to the horse thieves belong to themselves. They must be very rich.

"That's great, thank you kid here!"

"However, if you don't complete the announcement within the stipulated time, you may be punished, such as being expelled from the army... serving as a soldier."

When the county magistrate uttered the last sentence, Zhang Yi finally understood what the county magistrate Sima wanted to do.This guy is really crafty.

So he laughed.

"Then, where is the imperial list?"

Sima County Magistrate said: "Dongjiekou, where you enter the city!"

"Then farewell!"

Zhang Yi seemed in a hurry and left directly under the eyes of everyone.

Sima County Magistrate said to everyone: "You all go back! Do what you should do!"

At this moment, the onlookers dispersed at once. I believe that what happened today will definitely spread. People will definitely talk about the amazing deeds of a guy named Zhang Yi.

Seeing that the people had dispersed, Xia Ping went over and asked, "Are you trying to force this kid to return to the imperial court?"

Sima County Magistrate said: "I want him to be used by me. If he can kill the horse thieves, it will be a meritorious service. My achievements are also better. But if he can't, he will be used by me. It is also my good fortune."

This made Xia Ping give a thumbs up and said: "My lord is really tall!"

"Hahaha, it's very cold outside, shall we go indoors for a drink or two?"

"go!"
