The ancestor is here, she is here with space
Chapter 79: Greedy Officials
Song Hongyi laughed dryly twice, unable to hide the greed in his eyes: "Old Madam, you also know that we officials have a hard life. The expenses on the road are high, and the brothers need to eat. Do you think... should I show some respect?"
Lin Congyun sneered in her heart, she knew that these officials were planning to take over their general's mansion along the way.
The silver notes I gave out before were worth several thousand taels of silver. I didn't expect that their appetite was so big that they came here so blatantly to ask for money today.
It seems that he was angry and humiliated because of the bandit incident.
As soon as Song Hongyi finished speaking, Fang Deyu, Zhang Liucui and others behind Lin Congyun all showed nervous expressions. They knew that these officials coming here must be up to no good.
Lin Congyun seemed unusually calm. She slowly stood up, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
She turned her head and looked at Nanny Bai, who immediately took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it to Song Hongyi.
"Here is a hundred taels of silver. Give it to the officer and your brothers to have tea!"
A gleam of greed flashed in Song Hongyi's eyes. He took the banknote and gently slid his fingers over it, as if feeling the heavy wealth.
However, he was not satisfied with this. His eyes swept over Lin Congyun and others, as if looking for more opportunities.
"Madam, you are so generous. However, the journey is long and difficult, and I'm afraid one hundred taels of silver may not be enough for the brothers to share." Song Hongyi deliberately lengthened his voice, as if testing Lin Congyun's bottom line.
Lin Congyun's heart sank. She understood that these officials were getting more and more unreasonable and would not be easily satisfied.
But she also knew that she couldn't confront them head-on at this moment, otherwise it would only bring more trouble.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said calmly: "Sir, our general's mansion is now a poor family, and we can only take out a limited amount of silver. This one hundred taels of silver is our limit. If you still think it is not enough, then we can only leave it to fate."
The muscles on Song Hongyi's face twitched slightly. He obviously didn't expect Lin Congyun to reject him so directly.
There was a fierce light in his eyes, and he seemed to be considering whether to attack on the spot.
However, he finally held back.
He knew that although the General's Mansion had been exiled now, he had witnessed Lin Congyun's skills with his own eyes, and she was surrounded by so many guards, none of whom were ordinary people.
What's more, their mission was to get these people to Bianyun Pass safely. If anything went wrong along the way, they would not be able to escape responsibility.
Thinking of this, Song Hongyi took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
He grinned, revealing a fake smile: "The old lady is right, I was overthinking it."
Lin Congyun ignored his hypocritical words and just nodded lightly.
She knew that although these officials had been temporarily appeased, the greed in their hearts had not been eliminated.
She had to be careful to ensure a safe journey.
As night fell, the group was arranged to rest in a simple post station.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Congyun quietly left everyone's sight and entered the space.
Her eyes fell on the bandits lying on the ground in all directions.
There were nearly a hundred bandits, and the rockery could not hold them all. Besides, there were also thirty police officers inside, so it was not easy to put them all together.
Lin Congyun walked in the space for a while and found that the space seemed to have become a little bigger. So could he move some bigger things into the space?
Thinking of this in his mind, Lin Congyun decided to find an object larger than the rockery to give it a try.
After leaving the space, Lin Congyun quietly slipped out of the post station, and under the faint moonlight, quietly set foot on the road leading to the mountain behind the post station.
The mountain road was rugged and Lin Congyun had to move forward carefully.
Suddenly, she felt her feet go empty and her whole body sank suddenly.
She quickly grabbed the branch beside her and managed to stabilize her body.
When he looked down, he found that he had stepped on the lid of a trap.
The trap was pitch black and you couldn't see the bottom.
Lin Congyun's heart tightened and he was about to find a way out, but he heard a rustling sound coming from deep within the trap.
She held her breath and listened carefully. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching her.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly jumped out from the depths of the trap and rushed straight towards Lin Congyun.
She reacted quickly and dodged the white shadow's attack by moving sideways.
Looking in the moonlight, it turned out to be a huge white tiger.
The white tiger seemed to be angered by Lin Congyun's actions. It let out a deafening roar and pounced on Lin Congyun again.
Lin Congyun was shocked. Although she was agile, she still felt a little overwhelmed when facing such a huge white tiger.
She quickly looked around, looking for a chance to escape.
The white tiger pounced on him again, but Lin Congyun rolled over and narrowly avoided its sharp claws.
She noticed that the white tiger's movements were a little slow, and did not seem as fast as at the beginning.
She discovered in the moonlight that there was a deep wound on the white tiger's paw, and blood was constantly flowing out of the wound.
Lin Congyun understood why the white tiger appeared here. The white tiger was obviously caught in a trap set by someone, and she accidentally stepped on the lid of the trap, causing the white tiger to escape from the trap.
Because the white tiger was seriously injured, its movements seemed a little slow.
Lin Congyun looked at the blood dripping from the white tiger and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
As a top agent, she had seen many bloody scenes, but those were mostly man-made fights and fights, which were completely different from the pain and struggle revealed by the injured white tiger in front of her.
You know, this is a national first-class protected animal!
The white tiger's eyes were full of vigilance and anger, but more of it was pain and helplessness.
Its body was trembling slightly due to excessive blood loss, and every breath seemed extremely difficult.
Lin Congyun knew that if Baihu was not treated in time, he might not survive the night.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to take the risk.
She quickly took out some healing medicine and incense from the space and approached the white tiger cautiously.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Congyun quickly threw the incense in his hand to the white tiger.
Lin Congyun held his breath, watched the white tiger slowly fall, and slowly walked forward.
She squatted down and checked Baihu's wound. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible and blood was still oozing out.
The golden wound medicine and bandage taken out from the space were gently applied to Baihu's wound, and then bandaged tightly with the bandage.
The sleeping white tiger was still shaking with pain. Slowly, the bleeding from his wounds stopped and his breathing became much steady.
