The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry
Chapter 4: Getting your first pot of gold at the start?
"Er Gouzi, a villager from Shanyang Village under Ping'an County, has been rewarded 20 taels of silver for killing a tiger that was causing trouble for passers-by, according to the regulations posted by the government earlier!"
The county magistrate's gavel made a bang, as if a bomb exploded in Lu Yao's brain.
She finally understood why her aunt had pinched her to stop her from talking nonsense at the tiger-hunting scene.
Why did he protect her all the way and try so hard to take credit for her?
It turns out there is a bounty for killing a tiger!
Twenty taels of silver!
Lu Yao could feel how precious this money was without recovering her memory.
After all, she was wearing patched clothes and straw sandals.
These twenty taels of silver will definitely help her solve a big problem.
Others who travel through time have to rely on selling pig offal, making snacks, selling herbs and recipes, etc., to gradually accumulate their first pot of gold.
As soon as she arrived, she killed a tiger and received a reward of silver.
Could it be that this time when I travel through time, I will be given the first pot of gold at the beginning?
"Hurry up and kowtow to thank you, sir!" Liu Fang slapped the stunned Lu Yao hard.
Lu Yao quickly knelt down and kowtowed twice to the county magistrate.
"Thank you, sir!"
In her heart, the person she is most grateful to is her aunt Liu Fang.
She thinks of her own niece in everything and helps her in every way.
Lu Yao was very grateful.
For this family affection, for this love.
"I thank you on behalf of the people in the city and the passers-by nearby.
You have killed this scourge today. From now on, people will no longer have to worry about being eaten by tigers when walking on the roads.
I don’t know how many lives were saved this time.
A notice had been posted in the government office before, stating that anyone who could get rid of this scourge would be rewarded with twenty taels of silver.
This is what you deserve. "
After the Ping'an County Magistrate finished speaking, he waved his hand and a servant brought a tray.
Inside were two large silver ingots, ten taels each, for a total of twenty taels.
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Yao kowtowed to the county magistrate again and reached for the silver with a look of joy on his face.
"and many more!"
Liu Fang, who was standing aside, suddenly stretched out her hand to cover the silver, preventing Lu Yao from taking it.
"You're rough and it's not safe to hold you." After saying that, Liu Fang glared at Lu Yao fiercely.
Lu Yao was completely confused.
I was just moved by my aunt's love, why did she suddenly change her expression?
What does this mean?
"Sir, this Er Gouzi can't just take the reward money." Liu Fang said to the county magistrate.
"It so happened that her mother and elder sister were working in the city, and I had sent someone to call them.
She is not married yet, and she is not in charge of the family. The money should go to her parents.”
Liu Fang meant that Lu Yao should not receive the reward money herself, but her mother should receive it.
How can this be possible!
Once money falls into the hands of my parents, can it still be mine?
As we all know, the New Year's money that our parents kept for us when we were young will never come back to us!
Lu Yao straightened up and was about to say "Actually I can" when a wave of memories came back to her.
In my memory, she can never have money in her hands!
Otherwise, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling will be arranged immediately.
Even though her family is poor, it doesn't stop her from being a spendthrift.
If she received the reward today, let alone twenty taels, even two hundred taels would be spent quickly!
Her aunt knew her character very well, so she guarded the reward money tightly.
"I think it's okay. Let his mother come and take him away." Even the county magistrate thought so.
Lu Yao blushed with embarrassment.
It seems that everyone knows what kind of person she is!
"This dead tiger..." The county magistrate hesitated and glanced at the dead tiger with longing in his eyes.
According to secular rules, whoever kills a tiger will own the tiger.
Lu Yao is a tiger-fighting hero, so there is no problem with this tiger belonging to her.
But······
As soon as the county magistrate mentioned it, Lu Yao understood it instantly.
"Sir! I don't want this dead tiger!" Lu Yao said immediately.
Liu Fang looked at Lu Yao in surprise.
Did she hear it correctly?
Her greedy niece didn't want the tiger carcass?
You know, a tiger's entire body is a treasure. If you dismantle this dead tiger and sell it, the silver you can get in return will be much more than the twenty taels!
"I don't want this dead tiger." Lu Yao repeated it clearly, clasped her hands together, and said to the Ping'an County Magistrate very sincerely:
“Sir, although I am a tiger-fighting hero, this fight was not the work of me alone.
If it weren't for your wise leadership, and the desperate efforts of Captain Liu and the other yamen runners, how could I have taken down this tiger by myself?"
After hearing this, Liu Fang opened her mouth in surprise - her niece could actually speak human language?
Ping'an County Magistrate's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his lips.
“So, this time the tiger eradication is due to everyone’s efforts.
I have already received the reward, so I must not be so shameless as to eat the tiger's corpse alone.
The credit belongs to everyone, and the tiger corpse should also belong to everyone!
Please, sir, distribute the tiger carcass to everyone." Lu Yao kowtowed.
She had just unlocked some memories about local customs and learned that this time, not only would she get a reward of twenty taels of silver for killing the tiger, she could also take the tiger's corpse away.
Tigers are ferocious and extremely difficult to catch, so tiger skins, bones, meat, and penises are very expensive and difficult to buy.
If we take this tiger away and sell it, we can get a large sum of silver, far more than twenty taels.
But Lu Yao quickly realized that she must not do this.
She had just come here, and she didn't know many things about the original owner's family situation, interpersonal relationships, etc.
From the only memories I have, I can guess that my family was quite poor.
Maybe there are a lot of excellent relatives waiting for him.
In such a situation, suddenly becoming rich may not be a good thing.
So it is better to go with the flow and give away this free wealth to everyone.
The county magistrate's words just now have exposed his desire for the tiger corpse.
Lu Yao understands the ways of the world and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. As soon as the other person says something, she gets the meaning.
It just so happened that the original owner was often in jail and was on the list of people in the yamen. He might as well take this opportunity to build closer relationships and change the attitude of the county magistrate and other government officials towards him.
"You mean?" The county magistrate's eyes brightened.
"Sir, I only want the twenty taels of silver you gave me as reward.
This tiger carcass should be left to you, the master, who has been so worried about this, and the yamen servants who have worked so hard to kill the tiger today."
"This... isn't too good, right? After all, you are the tiger-fighting hero." The Ping'an County Magistrate pretended to be powerful again, trying to accept but also refuse.
"Sir!" Lu Yao was sincere and begged with a fist:
"I was too bad in the past and caused too much trouble for my family and the county.
Thinking about it now, I regret it so much!
Please make the decision, sir, and satisfy my wish to take this opportunity to thank you and all of you!"
Then he kowtowed again.
Liu Fang felt like she almost didn't recognize her niece anymore: "Er Gouzi, you've changed!"
"Hahaha, Ergou is so righteous! It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them." The magistrate of Ping'an laughed.
After making sure that Lu Yao did not want the tiger corpse and left it to her, Ping'an County Magistrate felt extremely relieved.
“In that case, I will make the decision for you and leave the tiger corpse.
After exchanging the silver, all the yamen runners who go to catch the tiger today will have a share. How do you think?"
The county magistrate was also good at winning people's hearts. As soon as she said that everyone should share the money, the yamen runners were all delighted and thanked the county magistrate one after another.
Of course, we couldn't help but praise Lu Yao for her magnanimity.
Everyone suddenly felt that Ergouzi was not so annoying anymore.
At this time, Lu Yao's mother and elder sister in this world came.
