The Golden County Magistrate

"Who doesn't like money?" Chen Yan didn't blush.

"What if he doesn't want to pay?" Zheng Yan's eyes rolled, "I don't think that guy is willing to spend so much money on others."

"Don't want to? Then you don't need to do it, I'll make his fat face swell up again!"

"But don't worry, I'm sure he will pay to redeem people."

"After all, the one surnamed Wu is his confidant, and he knows a lot of secrets, haha!"

Chen Yan smiled slightly. He was confident.

Now Wu Ming and others were locked up in the prison of Nafuying. They were all blindfolded when they entered and exited to prevent them from seeing the situation in Nafuying and leaking it out.

Last night, Zhang Dabiao interrogated Wu Ming alone. After looking around in the torture room, the guy immediately became scared.

After that, he revealed a lot of interesting things.

This made Chen Yan more certain that the one surnamed Xiong would definitely pay to redeem people!

At this time, Qian Wuxing rushed in from outside: "Sir! The people sent by Xiong Jin sent a message saying that at 3:30 today, money and people will be handed over in Xiaogoukan!"

Chen Yan was very excited: "Haha, you are just in time! Captain Zheng, you will go with me later and follow my instructions."

In the morning, Xiaogoukan at the junction of the two counties.

Xiong Jin paced back and forth in front of the woods irritably, and the dozen yamen runners waiting around were pale and a little uneasy.

They all witnessed the tragic scene on the long street yesterday, and knew that the other party was extraordinary, so they naturally didn't want to come here. But the county magistrate had an order, so they could only follow obediently.

Now they can only hope that the other party will not take action right away, otherwise it will be over.

"Haha, Sir Xiong has been waiting for a long time!" Chen Yan's laughter suddenly came from a distance.

Xiong Jin looked up and saw Chen Yan and Zheng Yan riding horses, followed by hundreds of people. He was startled.

But when he looked more closely, he found that the hundred people were not Chen Yan's men, but the people led by Wu Ming.

When he got closer, Chen Yan stopped his horse and looked down at Xiong Jin, smiling: "Master Xiong is really loyal and righteous. He is willing to spend so much money to save your subordinates."

Xiong Jin cursed in his heart, but said seriously: "Wu Bingcao has followed me for many years, through life and death, like my brother, how can I ignore him?"

Wu Ming trembled slightly and lowered his head. His originally pale face was even whiter than paper.

Chen Yan exclaimed: "Master Xiong is really a role model for our generation! I won't waste words. There are a total of 124 people, a total of 12,400 taels of silver."

Xiong Jin shivered, gritted his teeth, took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve pocket, counted out enough silver, walked to Chen Yan's horse, and handed it over.

Chen Yan didn't take it, but winked at Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan understood, took the silver bills, counted them, and said: "Enough."

Xiong Jin looked around: "Didn't your powerful subordinates come today?"

Chen Yan said without hesitation: "Yes, why do they need such a small matter? I can do it."

Xiong Jin didn't believe it at all. He guessed that those people must be hiding in the dark, and they might have aimed their bows and arrows at this place. As long as there was a slight movement on his side, they would take action.

Otherwise, how could Chen Yan come here with Zheng Yan?

"The silver is enough, Sir Xiong, we are done. Thank you for the silver, and we will say goodbye."

Chen Yan said as he turned his horse's head and left.

"Wait! Sir Chen, the purpose of your coming here is not just to ask for the ransom, right?"

But Xiong Jin stopped him, his eyes darkened.

"What is the other purpose?"

Chen Yan looked puzzled.

"Some things don't need to be said clearly. I don't believe that you, the big captain, didn't tell you something!"

Xiong Jin glanced at Zheng Yan, his eyes fell on the front of his body that was a bit too big, and he swallowed his saliva secretly.

But he also knew that at this point, it was impossible to take advantage of her beauty, and this kind of thing could only be thought of in his heart.

"I really don't understand, what's the matter? Captain Zheng, are you hiding something from me?"

Chen Yan turned his head and looked at Zheng Yan with a blank face.

"How could I!" Zheng Yan said with a straight face.

"Hey, Captain Zheng, you can't have forgotten why you were captured by Wu Bingcao that day!" Xiong Jin sneered.

"That day, I, the captain, came here to find a thief who committed a robbery, and then I was caught by your people. Is there any secret that I don't know about this matter?" Chen Yan was surprised.

"What secret is there? I was tired of looking for it, so I took a rest by the lake. Suddenly, they rushed over inexplicably, shouting and killing, inexplicably!" Zheng Yan pouted her red lips.

Xiong Jin frowned and looked back and forth at the two people.

Strange, Chen Yan is so greedy for money that he can't miss such a good opportunity. He must use that secret to threaten him for silence money.That's right.

Could it be that he really didn't know?

Little did he know that Chen Yan had thought it through long ago. Some money really shouldn't be coveted!

If he threatened the other party with Tang Shuo's matter and received the other party's hush money, then he couldn't get rid of this matter.

If Xiong Jin was exposed in the future, he wouldn't be guilty of knowing but not reporting it!

So the best way is to pretend not to know.

Zheng Yan has been with him for so long, of course she understands his eyes and cooperates with him perfectly.

Xiong Jin looked suspicious, but after thinking about it, he already believed it in his heart.

After all, if he knew the other party's secret, he would definitely threaten the other party and ask for money.

The only possibility that the other party didn't ask for it is that Zheng Yan really didn't see the scene.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, Lord Chen, it turned out to be just a misunderstanding, forgive me! Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and everyone is fine. Please take care of me in the future. Wu Bingcao, let's go back!"

On the way back, Wu Ming couldn't help asking: "Lord, is this really the end?"

Xiong Jin's face had completely sunk to the bottom: "Twelve thousand four hundred taels of silver, how can this official let him go like this! If I don't get rid of this breath, how can this official have the face to stand in the future! But if the force doesn't work, I have to use the civil method!"

Wu Ming was stunned: "The civil method?"

Xiong Jin sneered: "Every year, there are many hunters in Qingshan County who come to us to sell mountain products to make a living."

Wu Ming woke up instantly: "Lord, you want..."

Xiong Jin's eyes were fierce: "The silver I lost will be taken back from his people!"

Wu Ming frowned slightly, but said nothing.

He knew the character of the county magistrate very well, and it was not surprising that he would do such a thing.

In the past, it was nothing.

But now...

The scene of being interrogated by Zhang Dabiao last night flashed through his mind, and he shuddered.

On the other side, Chen Yan took Zheng Yan back to the backyard of the county government office, and the latter stuffed the banknotes into his hands: "I've carried them for you all the way, take them."

Chen Yan took half of the banknotes from her hand and said with a smile: "These are the hard work fees for the brothers in the Nafu Camp, you can keep the rest."
