Chapter 9424 More money is needed
The Xiao family.
Xiao Ren was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
Whoever proposes it will solve it. If it succeeds, most of the credit goes to the boss. If it fails, the boss will take the blame.
This is a routine in official circles.
Unexpectedly, he was also tricked in the Xiao family.
“Tell me what you need, and I will arrange it for you.”
Xiao Boshan made a promise.
"Master, um, I need to do some exercise, money..."
Xiao Ren said in a low voice.
"Go and pay one hundred taels of silver to the account."
Xiao Boshan raised his hand and wrote a note.
“Yes, Master.”
Xiao Ren took the note and stepped out.
After he walked out of the door, his originally stooped back straightened up again.
Kneeling is his way of survival, which does not mean that he personally likes to grovel.
Moreover, Xiao Boshan gave too little.
Commander Ziyan, I have only known him for a short time, and when he raises his hand, he gets five hundred taels, and the subsequent rewards are all mentioned in advance.
With such a comparison, working for Xiao Boshan is really boring.
This is still at a critical juncture.
He only gave one hundred taels now, if he hadn't been willing to give it before.
In the past, Xiao Boshan could give out ten or twenty taels, which was a great reward.
"Brother, how much money do you have this time?"
Xiao Shan followed him nearby.
He looked at Xiao Ren eagerly.
Xiao Ren sighed and said, "Only a hundred taels, hey."
"Only a hundred taels? Oh my god, the Xiao family has reached a stage of life and death, and we are asked to do such a big thing for him. , and being so stingy, the Xiao family deserves to be destroyed."
Xiao Shan spat angrily.
He had already agreed with Xiao Ren that they could take this opportunity to occupy both ends and eat both ends.
Use the imperial court to intimidate the Xiao family, so that they can gain some benefits.
But what I didn't expect was that the Tao is as high as the Demon.
Faced with such a big crisis, Xiao Boshan of the Xiao family only gave one hundred taels?
Isn’t this simply sending beggars away?
It’s okay to ask them for some help, but you have to pay more!
“Keep your voice down, and be careful that the walls have ears. After all, we are still staying in the Xiao family, and we can’t let anything go wrong with our status.”
Xiao Ren said hurriedly.
"Brother, don't worry. There's no one around here. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Xiao Shan said nonchalantly.
"Okay, okay, let's go back and talk first." Xiao Ren rolled his eyes.
He didn’t want to say it.
Who says Xiao Shan doesn't look like a fool anymore?
In the eyes of the outside world, Xiao Shan is quite stupid and is simply a hindrance.
"Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how thin they are. Go and get the money back."
Xiao Ren ordered.
“Okay, I got my money back, and we’ll go to the Yamen tomorrow.”
As soon as money was mentioned, Xiao Shan's mood suddenly improved.
No matter what, no matter who he has trouble with, he will never have trouble with Yin Zi.
Not to mention a hundred taels, even if it was only one tael, he would keep it in his pocket.
This is called safety.
Early morning on the second day.
The two of them were well prepared. Instead of using the Xiao family's carriage, they hired a carriage near the door and rushed to the Yamen.
After they left, two men in black immediately followed them.
Xiao Boshan stood on the side of the back door with a gloomy look on his face. Beside him was his sister Xiao Danyan.
Xiao Danyan has a round face. She is wearing traditional women's clothing from Korea today, with many gold headdresses on her head.
"Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan, there is probably something wrong with these two people."
Xiao Danyan stretched out her fingers, her nails were covered with cyan nail polish. This was her favorite color, but she applied it So much so that the smell is a little unpleasant.
“I know there is a problem, but what can we do without them now?”
Xiao Boshan said lightly.
"Just let them go like this? Isn't it too conniving? The two outsiders actually want to climb on top of the main family and dare to rebel."
A crazy look appeared on Xiao Danyan's face.
She is the kind of person who is a bit obsessed with religion. In her opinion, betraying the Persian religion is more hateful, hateful and murderable than betraying the Xiao family.
But now the two should be combined into one.
"We, the Xiao family, have nothing to do with them now. I have confirmed that our Xiao family has been monitored by the court. Now we want to leave the confines of Zhuque County. It is extremely difficult. It can be said that we can't get out. Gone.”
Xiao Boshan turned sideways and looked at Xiao Danyan.
"I know you are dissatisfied, but Persian religion is Persian religion, and the Xiao family is the Xiao family. The Xiao family believes in the fire god of Persian religion. This is our belief, but you have to make it clear that what we believe in is the god of fire, not Persian religion itself. !”
Xiao Boshan said solemnly.
"I understand, brother, I will not harm our Xiao family because of my belief in Persian religion."
When Xiao Danyan said this, he was a little reluctant.
But she still understands the truth.
The reason why she has such a good life today is not because she believes in the God of Fire, but because she is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Xiao family.
“That’s good, I hope you can understand.”
Xiao Boshan nodded.
“Go back, my people will tell me.”
Xiao Boshan turned and left.
When he turned his back, there was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion on his face. This family is not easy to run. It is better to be like his father Xiao Yishan, being kept in the dark and being secretly excluded from the core.
This is a quiet time.
Xiao Danyan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
She is not alone. There is a group of forces behind her. Those believers who believe in the god of fire are not so easy to talk to, especially since there are a few fanatical believers among them.
The brains of those fanatical believers have been completely washed out, and they are willing to pay the price of their lives at any time for their faith.
Such people are the most terrifying.
So, he still tried to find a way to stabilize Xiao Danyan. No matter what, he at least gave her an explanation so that she could appease the believers when she returned.
It is up to Xiao Danyan to decide whether to tell the truth or find ways to coax. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means are no longer important.
......
Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan came to the Yamen.
After they entered, the person who received them was not Commander Zi Yan, let alone Luo Fengtang.
The person who received them was Le Zhengjin, the new magistrate of Zhuque County.
Le Zhengjin was wearing an official robe. He had two dark circles on his face and his energy and blood were somewhat weak.
During this period, he was really tired and had many things to deal with.
Especially the Shi family’s affairs.
The Shi family has been operating in Zhuque County for so many years and is the largest powerhouse in the area.
And when the Shi family collapsed, too many people were involved. If you really want to figure it out, you won't be able to do it in a short time.
Le Zhengjin estimates that it would be difficult for anyone to digest it within a year and a half.
"Sir, we..."
As soon as Xiao Ren started to raise his head, he was interrupted by Le Zhengjin.
"I know everything about you. Come inside and talk."
Le Zhengjin waved his sleeves and walked inside.
Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan looked at each other and could only follow behind.
The county magistrate still has a strong deterrent effect in their eyes.
In the past, they did not dare to stand face to face with Cao Wenhua.
