I Have a Luck Altar

"Shua!"

Chen Yuan's footsteps stepped out in an instant, a white light flashed by the knife, and the knife was placed in front of the man's neck, and said coldly: "What are you, dare to talk to this arrest like this?"

"When will the county government suppress the bandits and still need to report to you?"

"Why did Chen Chen catch the head and make a big move?"

"Don't do that, don't do that."

"Chen Butou calm down."

Feeling the slight coolness from the blade, the cold sweat on the face of the middle-aged man whose neck was held by the long knife immediately dripped from his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice:

"Master Chen, don't be impulsive. I did speak louder just now. Master Chen, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

Li Mingqi smiled, watching Chen Yuan's performance with great interest.

For Chen Yuan, he is more and more satisfied, he can be regarded as a talent, but unfortunately, he has no extra daughter, otherwise

Chen Yuan stared at him, reached out and patted his shoulder:

"Patriarch Chen, this arrest is just a joke, don't take it to heart."

"Of course, of course." The man called Patriarch Chen smiled brightly, with some reluctance on his face, just now, he really felt a murderous aura.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't do anything anymore, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

They are not afraid, but the purpose is not here. They want to find a way to get the goods back through the yamen, not to conflict with the yamen, and the conflict is not so easy to start.

This Chen Yuan is young and energetic, and he draws his sword when he disagrees with him. It is unwise to fight against such a person!

Chen Yuan looked at the stunned Patriarchs, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he raised his voice:

"The horse bandits must be suppressed!"

"Everyone has a deep understanding. These horse bandits kill people without blinking an eye. It is really a serious problem in Ping'an County. With these thieves around, how can we be safe?"

"I'm afraid, I don't even dare to go out of the city on weekdays."

"But to tell you the truth, the county government wants to do something, but there is not enough money for rewards, and there is not enough money for pensions. Let me ask you, if there is not even money, how dare the arresting government officials risk their lives?"

"Then what does Catcher Chen mean?"

Someone asked with a frown.

Chen Yuan glanced at Li Mingqi, who was sitting at the head and remained calm, and smiled and said:

"The meaning of this arrest is very simple. If you want to suppress the bandits, you can, but you have to provide some money. In this way, the government servants under my arrest will fight these horse bandits to the end!"

The people who were sitting looked at each other, no matter how stupid they were, they understood what Chen Yuan meant, it is okay to suppress the bandits, just bring the money, otherwise, who would work for you?

"Chen Butou, I have never been short of monthly money, why now" someone whispered, a little dissatisfied, they have a lot of money every year.

Now it's really time to do business, and you still have to collect money. Being an official, there is really no good thing for his mother!

Chen Yuan drooped his eyelids, and said slowly:

"I have never seen this money before, how about this, whoever you give the money to, let him kill the horse bandits for you."

Although secretly accepting bribes is common, but few dare to speak out.

Chen Yuan wants to see if they dare to tell who they gave the extra money to.

"How much does Catcher Chen want?" The well-built middle-aged man stood up and stopped the others from talking.

He could see very clearly that the catcher Chen in front of him didn't see the rabbits and didn't scatter the eagles. Even if he brought out some people, he could force the county government arresters to suppress the bandits, but if they didn't work hard, what could he do?

Your own goods are the most important thing. Once the time is delayed, the compensation will not be a small amount.

"How much money do you think is suitable for suppressing bandits?"

Chen Yuan didn't make his own decisions, and set his sights on Li Mingqi, who was at the top.

Li Mingqi showed a very sensible smile, and said lightly:

"Suppressing bandits is what the county government should have intended, but it is true that as Chen Butou said, if there is not enough reward, the catchers in the county government will not go all out. The group of horse bandits who are causing harm to the common people will be wiped out, and Ping'an County will be restored to a brighter future!"

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, Li Mingqi is worthy of being a county lieutenant, and his high-sounding words are also very powerful!

The several patriarchs who were sitting seemed to be a little hesitant, and their eyes wandered. Fifty taels per family was not a small number, adding up to two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

Almost a quarter of the value of that shipment.

"Why, how many people don't want to?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and scanned them one by one.

"Okay, fifty taels!"

The well-built middle-aged man seemed to have a high prestige. After he made the decision, no one else had any objections.

"As soon as the money arrives, the county government immediately begins to suppress the bandits!"

Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.

"Okay, Chen Butou is a straightforward person, and I am absolutely unequivocal. Before it gets dark today, the money from my Yang family must be delivered to Chen Butou!"

The well-built middle-aged man is very bold.

"So good!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

After negotiating the money, the rest of the matter was very simple, nothing more than a few more polite words, and after a while, the speakers of several families left the county government.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan and Tie Qinghua looked at each other calmly and smiled.

"My lord, after they deliver the silver, the humble official sent Wang Ping to your residence."

After everyone left, Chen Yuan smiled.

"There's no need to play tricks like these. You keep one hundred and fifty taels of money, and you can send one hundred taels." Li Mingqi said lightly.

"Thank you, my lord."

Chen Yuan showed some respect in a timely manner.

Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan:

"If you don't collect the money, it's okay if you can't suppress the bandits. Once the money is collected, it's not that simple. They will definitely find a way to poke it."

"Isn't there still an adult here?"

Chen Yuan said softly.

But I was thinking in my heart, I opened my mouth to take half of it, I can't even fart, right?

"Tell me, what are your plans?"

Li Mingqi looked directly at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan immediately said:

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I already have some clues."

"Oh?" Li Mingqi was startled. Today, when these people come to report to the officials, Chen Yuan already has clues?

The detective is nothing more than that, right?

Instinctively, Li Mingqi didn't quite believe it.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said:

"Your Excellency, do you know who is the woman in Tsing Yi among the five people who came together just now?"

"Of course I know Tie Xuan's younger sister."

Li Mingqi said in a low voice.

"Yes, it's Tie Laotou's younger sister. Once Tie Laotou died, the Tie family was squeezed out a lot. Many forces wanted to swallow up the Tie family's foundation. Last night, Tie Qinghua found me and hoped that I could protect her."

"It was from her mouth that Beizhi knew about these horse bandits, and also got some clues."

As Chen Yuan said, he carefully observed Li Mingqi's expression. After all, Tie Xuan and him were not the same people before.
