"Aunt, can I ask first, how much is the reward this time?" Lu Yao's eyes were burning.

Liu Fang: “Guess!”

Lu Yao: “…”

Aunt, you are not kind.

Song Yanyi was standing aside, watching the conversation between the aunt and niece, and couldn't help laughing.

"Anyway, I got a reward of 20 taels of silver last time I killed a tiger. The wanted criminals this time are both murderers and hard to catch. They are no less dangerous than tigers. And there are three of them. So the reward should be more than the tiger's, right?"

Lu Yao gently touched three of her fingers, 2*3=6.

"Last time you killed a tiger, you got a reward of 20 taels of silver?" Song Yan was inspired after hearing this, "Apart from this, is there anything else?"

"Ah? Is there anything else?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.

Song Yan paused and tried to ask, "Did you sell the tiger corpse?"

Because of his business, Song Yanyi read a lot of legal books on weekdays. He also knew the subtle rules, such as if Lu Yao killed a tiger, the tiger corpse should belong to her.

"No, I gave it to the county magistrate. I guess it's a favor."

Song Yan had a strange expression on his face after hearing this.

Lu Yao looked at it and felt something was wrong: "Mr. Song, is there a problem?"

"It's nothing, young lady. The tiger carcass should have belonged to you. I thought you sold it to the county magistrate."

Who would have thought it was given for free? Ergouzi didn't even ask for a penny.

Lu Yao keenly sensed that something was wrong, and there must be something else behind Song Yanyi's words.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Song, could it be that your family purchased the tiger corpse?"

The Song family is a wealthy business family with businesses covering all aspects. If the county magistrate had caught the tiger, he would have to sell it. Could it be that he sold it to the Song family?

Song Yanyi nodded slightly.

"Wow! It was really sold to your family!" Lu Yao thought to herself what a coincidence, the tiger she had squatted to death actually made a circle and came to the Song family.

"Could you tell me how much the tiger corpse was sold for?" Lu Yao couldn't help but say one more word.

Song Yanyi had a subtle expression and slowly looked at Lu Yao: "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Yao stepped back. She had a bad feeling. Sometimes knowing the truth might not be a good thing.

"Just tell me if it's convenient." But she still couldn't help but want to know!

Song Yan thought about it, stretched out two fingers and made a "six" gesture.

Lu Yao: "Sixty taels?"

Liu Fang on the side shook her head vigorously. It definitely couldn't be sixty taels!

After selling the tiger's corpse, the county magistrate took out one hundred taels of silver to reward everyone.

At that time, there were seven constables who went to hunt the tiger together. She was rewarded with fifteen taels by the chief constable, and the other six were rewarded with ten taels each. With the remaining silver, they went to the most upscale restaurant in the county, ordered the most expensive banquet and wine, and got drunk.

This silver was paid from the proceeds from selling the tiger carcass. It was impossible for the county magistrate to pay for it out of his own pocket, so it was definitely not sixty taels.

Could it be...Liu Fang opened her eyes wide!

“Six hundred taels?!” Lu Yao shouted for her aunt.

Song Yanyi shook his head and said softly, "Six thousand taels."

Tigers are hard to come by and are valuable, but more importantly, they were sold by the county magistrate.

The Song family was a merchant family, and in order to cling to the leg of the county magistrate, they took the opportunity to buy the tiger carcass at a sky-high price many times higher than its original value.

The premium part is actually a gift.

"Ah!" After hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Liu Fang quickly hugged her niece, and stretched out her thumb to pinch the philtrum under Lu Yao's nose.

Lu Yao woke up immediately from the pain.

"Why are there so many!" Lu Yao's heart ached!

Six thousand taels!

If she had known that it could be sold for so much money, why would she give it away for free! If she could earn 6,000 taels by herself, wouldn't she be able to win life without doing anything?

Tears of regret!

"You silly child, she can sell it for this much money, but you can't." Liu Fang saw through it clearly.

Three years as a clean magistrate, 100,000 silver coins.

Where did the 100,000 silver coins come from? In addition to plundering the people's wealth, there were also "donations" from people from all walks of life!

Liu Fang has been a constable in the county government for nearly twenty years and has experienced too many of these things.

There once was a county magistrate who liked writing and painting.

Every time she releases a work, there will be many people chasing to collect it at high prices.

Do you really like her calligraphy and paintings?

No, I was just giving her a gift under the pretext of buying calligraphy and paintings.

"Others really can't sell it at this price, and the Song family is buying it at a loss." Song Yanyi said tactfully.

The purpose was not really to buy the tiger carcass, but to use this incident as an opportunity to present a gift to the county magistrate and hug his big, thick legs.

Otherwise, why could the Song family, a merchant family, remain the richest family in Ping'an County for so many years, with so many shops and businesses, and no one dared to find fault with them for many years?

Even without the tiger corpse, the Song family would find other ways to win over the county magistrate.

On the contrary, it was because I bought a tiger carcass. This tiger is full of treasures. If I disassemble it and sell it properly, I can get a lot of money back.

"It turns out that there is no harm without comparison. I suddenly feel that my twenty taels of reward silver are not worth it." Lu Yao stroked his chest and calmed himself down.

Who can be blamed for this? Wasn't it because she wanted to do the county magistrate a favor that she gave the tiger corpse to him?

Who knew this tiger carcass was so valuable!

Who knew that there were such weird marriage rules in this world, which forced her to go on blind dates everywhere and save up sixty taels of silver to pay the fine!

It’s her fault that she had just arrived and hadn’t completely unlocked the original owner’s memory. As a result, she didn’t have enough information, which led to the wrong judgment.

Lu Yao felt like she had lost 100 million yuan, and she felt angry and regretful, and her chest ached.

If you want to be open-minded, you must do it yourself!

What has happened has passed. If you keep dwelling on regret, wouldn't you be losing both money and your health?

Don't be angry, don't be angry! Who would be happy if I died of anger?

Lu Yao tried desperately to persuade herself.

However, the county magistrate is such a shitty official!

A tiger corpse was sold at a sky-high price, but the reward was only twenty taels of silver. If it had been a little more, Lu Yao's life would have been much better.

Thinking of her own difficult blind date journey and the hardships of making money, Lu Yao cursed the county magistrate's ancestors in her heart.

What a dog official!

"Mr. Song, if, in the future, I can kill a tiger again, can I sell it directly to the Song family?

I only want five thousand taels. No, four thousand taels is fine too, or three thousand taels? Two thousand? What do you think?"

"Okay. If there is, I will go and collect it myself." Song Yan was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing.

I didn’t expect that chatting with Ergouzi would be so fun.

She always managed to make him laugh.

That night, Lu Yao stayed at the Song Mansion, as an important witness in the trial and a heroic woman who was about to receive an award.

However, in the room where Lu Yao slept, there were always strange noises coming out in the middle of the night——

"Oh my god, my several thousand taels of silver!"

A cry from under the covers.
