- The prefect Zhang Shoushan looked at Chen Xiuchang of a hundred households who was sitting on the horse opposite him, and after extending a finger to him, he suddenly cursed secretly in his heart.
In his opinion, these poor military households actually dared to take advantage of the situation and ask themselves for a hundred taels of silver. This was simply intolerable.
But, right now, I really need these people. If they don't take action, those pirates won't be able to deal with them on their own. Therefore, Zhang Shoushan could only suppress the anger in his heart and try to calm down as much as possible.
"Okay! One hundred taels is one hundred taels! I'm out!"
Lord Zhang Shoushan, the prefect, gritted his teeth and agreed with a voice of regret.
As a famous iron rooster, plucking hair on his body is really a strange thing.
¡°If the current situation hadn¡¯t made him a little anxious, he wouldn¡¯t have agreed so readily.
One hundred taels of silver, this is not a small number.
¡°In the hands of ordinary people, it would take seven, eight or even ten years to accumulate these one hundred taels of silver without eating or drinking.
But then again, this one hundred taels of silver was placed in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but no one with a certain status would care much about it, especially the Yangzhou prefect.
The reason why he had such a painful reaction was because he was stingy.
The name Iron Rooster is actually in vain.
After the prefect Zhang Shoushan agreed, he actually felt really painful.
Although this one hundred taels of silver is nothing to him. But he was still heartbroken This is just human nature.
After Zhang Shoushan, the prefect on this side, humbly agreed, the people from the Baihusuo on the opposite side looked at the prefect with dumbfounded expressions.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You must have been shocked by my generosity, sir. It was not easy for me to bleed heavily this time.
After the prefect Zhang Shoushan saw the reaction of the people at the guard station opposite, he felt both pain and pride in his heart.
You know, it seems like he spent a hundred taels of silver all at once, which is a very rare thing.
"Aside from using money to honor the superior, he is usually very picky.
After all, being filial to the superior can pave the way for his future, so there is nothing he can't bear to do. Anyway, after you become an official, you can just fish it back as hard as you can.
"It cost one hundred thousand taels to buy an official position, so he would have to earn five to six hundred thousand taels during his term of office. Zhang Shoushan never did anything to make a loss.
"For example, the prefect Zhang Shoushan also weighed the fact that he won a hundred taels of silver from Chen Xiuchang and the others.
He caught those pirates and continued to question Wang Qingshan about how he could get a sum of money from him. The money must be more than one hundred taels, so it is still worth giving out the one hundred taels.
¡°Besides, when Wang Qingshan was captured, more than a thousand taels of silver were found from him. Didn't all this money fall into his pocket? Now that he has paid out the one hundred taels of silver, it actually doesn't count as his own money at all, so there is nothing to feel bad about.
Of course, if it falls into your own pocket, it will be yours, but the prefect still feels a little reluctant to part with it.
"One hundred taels of silver! Lord Magistrate, you are really" On this side, Magistrate Zhang Shoushan thought that he had made a big deal, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiuchang, who was sitting on the horse opposite him, said with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. mouth.
"The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Who of you is willing to do this at this time? You know, this is a matter of risking your life with those desperadoes. How can you celebrate the Chinese New Year if there is nothing wrong with it?"
Chen Xiuchang slowly put away his dumbfounded expression and turned it into a look of contempt.
"Since this is a life-threatening business, then Lord Prefect, you are too insincere, aren't you? If Lord Prefect amuses our brothers like this, then you should deal with those pirates yourself, Lord Prefect."
It was obvious that Chen Baihu disliked the fact that he had given him too little money.
Grandma¡¯s!
One hundred taels of silver is still less!
How much do you want?
Isn¡¯t this the finger you stretched out just now?
If it¡¯s not a hundred taels of silver, is it still a thousand taels of silver?
I bother!
After hearing what Chen Xiuchang said, the magistrate cursed secretly in his heart.
However, he quickly shook his body and thought: No way! Is this possible?The poor military household really wants to ask for a thousand taels of silver!
The prefect Zhang Shoushan was shocked by his guess.
"If the prefect is sincere, he can pay a thousand taels of silver for his hard work. In fact, who here in Yangzhou doesn't know that the prefect has a lot of money, so why bother with poor military households like us."
Chen Xiuchang from one hundred households said patiently to the prefect Zhang Shoushan.
In fact, Chen Xiuchang had no choice. If he had not seen the benefits in this matter, he would not have come to help Zhang Shoushan.
He wanted to help Mao with people he didn¡¯t usually deal with.
Isn¡¯t it a bit beneficial?
And if you get the benefits, you can also let the brothers under your command have a good New Year.
After all, their life is not easy now.
Therefore, the bottom line in Chen Xiuchang's mind is one thousand taels of silver.
If Zhang Shoushan doesn't have money, then he and his brothers will never take action.
??????????????????????? It¡¯s not them who caused this matter, and it¡¯s not them who are unlucky.
"Then how much do you want?"
Zhang Shoushan was a little worried at this time. After all, he wanted to deal with the pirates and capture Mrs. Wang again.
Time has been delayed for a long time now. If it is not resolved, the pirates will cause trouble, which will have a great impact on their career.
You know, the current prefect Zhang Shoushan is seeking to go further.
¡°If something goes wrong at this juncture, wouldn¡¯t everything be in jeopardy?
He doesn¡¯t want such a problem to arise. After all, he spent a lot of money on a certain big shot in the DPRK last year.
If this fails, the money will be wasted.
No! No! No!
You must never let something like this happen.
Thinking of such terrible consequences, Zhang Shoushan finally gave in.
However, our Lord Magistrate still looked forward to it slightly in his heart, hoping that Chen Xiuchang's asking price would not be as high as he had guessed.
Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the prefect, and the initiative is not in his hands at all.
Chen Xiuchang still pointed one finger: "If the prefect is sincere, he will give the brothers a thousand taels of silver to have fun. Then everyone will try their best to solve this matter for you. But if you are not sincere, If so, brothers will have to go back home. After all, it¡¯s such a cold day, wouldn¡¯t it be better to drink some wine at home.¡±
Chen Xiuchang's words shattered the prefect's expectations, and at the same time made his face look very ugly.
One thousand taels!
One thousand taels!
However, the prefect did not get angry, because Chen Xiuchang made it clear just now that if an agreement could not be reached here, he would take people back. As for the pirates, he would arrest whoever wanted to, and it had nothing to do with him anyway.
The person ran away from the magistrate's Yamen, and the incident happened here at the Magistrate's Yamen.
And the pirates were also surrounded, and eighty of the prefect¡¯s government officials were there.
It can be said that this matter is really not under the jurisdiction of the guard office, it is entirely a matter of the prefect's Yamen.
"The reason why there is no way to deal with the pirates is because the officials of the prefecture's Yamen are too naive. When facing the suspected desperadoes, they all become timid."
After all, government officials are human beings too.
"Let them rush up and fight with the affairs officer and the others. If there is any damage or something, the prefect will not care about it at all."
This is really not worthwhile.
Your life is your own, and your affairs are the prefect¡¯s business.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??in???????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How the prefect treats everyone in normal times, they all keep it in their hearts.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the government officials are afraid of trouble and do not dare to work hard on this matter.
It is precisely for this reason that it is obviously unrealistic to expect the government officials in the prefecture to solve this matter.
The master has sent people back to inform him that the government officials are very reluctant to face the pirates. Everyone is afraid that their lives will be at stake in the tough attack.
Therefore, even if the master is there, there is nothing he can do about it.
¡°At the moment, we can only rely on these things brought by Chen Xiuchang from one hundred households.It¡¯s too late.
If they all leave, then who can you count on?
Could it be that he thought of his government office and asked for help?
It¡¯s better to forget about it.
If he does this, his career as an official will be over.
"Okay! One thousand taels is one thousand taels! I'll give it!"
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, the prefect gritted his teeth and agreed again with a livid face.
Mom, just think of it as a thousand taels of silver and throw it into the ditch!
"As long as we can catch Lover Wang in the end and kill all the pirates, a thousand taels of silver will mean nothing." Thinking about it, Wang Qingshan must be a leader-like figure among the pirates, and such a person must have a lot of wealth hidden in him.
Otherwise, how could his men be so bold to rescue him?
¡°Besides, if Wang Qingshan had no money, he wouldn¡¯t be able to make his brothers work so hard.
Seeing that the prefect Zhang Shoushan finally agreed, a smile broke out on Chen Xiuchang's face.
"Okay! I know that the prefect is a happy person. Come to think of it, I, Chen Xiuchang, just acted like a villain. But it doesn't matter, we all get what we need, right? I want cash! Bring the money, and our brothers will be there immediately ."
Damn it!
Actually, I still have to be silver. This is not a rabbit.
After hearing this, the prefect suddenly started cursing again in his heart.
"However, this cannot be blamed on Chen Xiuchang of Baihu. After all, the Iron Rooster's name is not for nothing. What if he turns his back and refuses to admit his debt when the matter is resolved?"
¡°It is not impossible for the prefect to do this.
Therefore, it is better to get the money first and then do things. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
