I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Zhang Yuanwai was startled and stood up along with Jiang Yuan. He swallowed his saliva and said:

"It's true. Just three kowtows and I'll let it go."

After saying that, Mr. Zhang spoke again without waiting for Jiang Yuan to speak: "But your status is not ordinary now. You can find someone to replace you, but you must be by your side."

"Good! Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!"

Jiang Yuan finished speaking and beckoned Zhao Kai over: "Go to Li Hu's house and call him. After all, we dug this together, so he has some responsibilities too!"

"OJBK!" Zhao Kai made a gesture and was about to run out of the door with a long knife in hand.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Liu Quan to open the door for you." Mr. Zhang shouted from behind.

But Zhao Kai did not stop at all. He disappeared in front of everyone in a short while, leaving only a few vague words.

"What's the difference between a two or three meter wall and nothing at all?"

Mr. Zhang's face suddenly turned dark. No wonder Kong Xuan could easily enter his wine cellar. It turned out that this was the problem.

Noticing that something was wrong with Mr. Zhang's eyes, Kong Xuan quickly said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I didn't have time to drink it last time I moved it. I'll move it to you tomorrow."

"Forget it, just keep it for yourself. You paid for it anyway." Mr. Zhang said unhappily.

Jiang Yuan patted Kong Xuan's shoulder with satisfaction: "You are much better than Zhao Kai. You even pay for the wine. You are such a kind person!"

"Of course, I have always been a reasonable person. If the wine stored in Mr. Zhang's house was not older than the wine outside, I would not have to work so hard every day." Kong Xuan said, wiping the corner of his mouth guiltily.

"Brother Zhang, are we leaving now?" Jiang Yuan asked with blinking eyes.

Mr. Zhang nodded slowly and said casually, "It's quite a few miles to the south of the city and back. I wonder if you would like something to eat?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan said without hesitation.

"Well, since it's not necessary, then let's..." Mr. Zhang stopped talking and looked back at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

"Your Excellency means, need it?"

"Yes, I really need it." Jiang Yuan said sincerely.

Damn, it’s been nearly half an hour since I came here, and I’ve only had a sip of water. You finally mentioned eating.

Mr. Zhang extended his hand speechlessly: "In that case, please move to the main hall to have dinner."

Soon, in the main hall, Jiang Yuan and his group, as well as Mr. Zhang and his daughter, all gathered at the dining table, and several well-behaved maids quickly brought the food.

"Your Excellency came in a hurry and there is nothing prepared, so just make do with it." Although he was talking to Jiang Yuan, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but glance at Wang Gang.

Well, I haven't really looked at him carefully before. Apart from being big and bulky, Wang Gang doesn't look ugly at all. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are bright. If he can hold an official rank, he might not be a bad look.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. This is already very generous." Jiang Yuan said, and took the lead in serving a bowl of soup.

After a while, Zhao Kai arrived with Li Hu. After the group finished their meal, Mr. Zhang was dragged directly by Jiang Yuan to the south of the city.

Mr. Zhang was not worried about keeping Wang Gang at home. This big, stupid and honest man would never do anything that would be punished by heaven.

"Lao Zhang, you're too slow. Come on up and I'll carry you!"

Li Hu said dissatisfiedly and dragged Zhang Yuanwai away.

"Tsk tsk tsk! When did this guy become so concerned about efficiency?" Zhao Kai clicked his tongue.

Kong Xuan immediately shook his head and said, "Ever since he rescued that girl named Mingyue, he has completely changed and has become more decisive in his work."

"Stop talking nonsense and catch up."

Jiang Yuan said this and followed with all his strength.

It must be said that Li Hu's speed was really amazing. He had left everyone else behind by several minutes in just a few miles. When the four of them arrived at the Zhang family's ancestral tomb breathlessly, they heard the trembling voice of Mr. Zhang in the darkness.

"Li Hu! Stop knocking!"

"Stop knocking!"

"Oh, I don't have that much money to give you. So, I'll give it back to you!"

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? You are a noble, well-known landlord and squire. How can you kowtow to me? I will kowtow to you twice right now!"

Li Hu's serious voice came again.

"What's going on? Why are these two people worshipping heaven and earth?" Jiang Yuan looked as if he had seen a ghost.

When the four of them walked in and took a look, they were stunned.

Li Hu was kneeling in front of the Zhang family's ancestral tomb, kowtowed one after another. Mr. Zhang was pulling Li Hu with a frightened look on his face, and kowtowed to the grave of Li Hu's grandfather.

"Mr. Zhang, you are a delicate and noble person, you can't kowtow to me, so you'd better give up. I won't kowtow any more, and a hundred thousand taels of silver will be enough for me!"

Li Hu's relaxed voice came. He was a martial artist, so even when he knocked, he was extremely fast.

On the other side, Mr. Zhang was suddenly shocked. One hundred thousand taels of silver for nothing? I don't even have it even if you sell it!

"Fuck! Li Hu can't even leave an afterimage, what can Lao Zhang use to compare with him?" Kong Xuan said in surprise.

"Stop! Li Hu, stop first. What are you doing?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask the two to stop.

"Master Jiang, you have to make the decision for me. Li Hu is unreasonable!" Mr. Zhang ran to Jiang Yuan excitedly.

Jiang Yuan quickly raised his hand: "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what's going on?"

"You don't know, Li Hu came to the grave and asked me, 'Three thousand taels of silver for three heads,' does that mean one thousand taels of silver for one head?"

"I said yes, but he kowtowed dozens of times in front of my Zhang family's ancestral tomb, and he didn't stop. He said that the extra money would be given to him in cash later. In total, he kowtowed over a hundred times. Even if I were torn apart, I still wouldn't have that much silver!" Zhang Yuanwai pointed at Li Hu with a red face.

Li Hu corrected him calmly, "Mr. Zhang, you miscalculated. During all this time, I've kowtowed to your family's ancestral grave a total of 203 times. Excluding the three I gave you, plus the dozens you kowtowed to my grandfather, I'm not taking advantage of you."

"Even if you are good enough, you still need to give me one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Sir, look at him. I didn't even bother with him, but he actually turned the tables on me!" Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over. One hundred thousand taels of silver, damn it, I have never seen so much money in my life!

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Hu speechlessly. He had to admit that he had underestimated this kid.

This guy is too dishonest. He directly offered 100,000 taels. Even if you sell your people, you can't get enough money.

"Li Hu, what do you want so much money for?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

In the past, Li Hu didn't regard money as dirt, but that was almost the case. He didn't care about the monthly salary at all and never asked Ma Zhi for it.

"Sir, there's really nothing I can do. Mingyue and I have discussed getting married next year, but I haven't found a wedding house yet. Besides, I have to entertain guests for my wedding, right?"

"I also have to give the betrothal gifts, three letters and six engagements. None of these steps can be missed. I have no choice but to do this."

"When the master told me this, I didn't dare to believe it. One thousand taels for a bang, there really is such a good thing in the world. But as soon as I saw Mr. Zhang, I believed it. With the kind of person he is, he will definitely not default on his debt." Li Hu spread his hands and chattered incessantly.

After saying that, Li Hu hurried to Mr. Zhang's side and said with a sly smile, "Mr. Zhang, you're right, right? I wonder if this money should be paid in banknotes or in cash?"

Mr. Zhang next to him was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire.

I can understand that you need a wife to get married, but how can you use my coffin money to marry a wife?
