I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.
Chapter 48: Pit your own people first
"Get rich! Get rich!"
Jiang Yuan was overjoyed. Putting all those classic works handed down from his previous life here was simply a killing spree.
"Boss, please leave me your address. I'm a novelist and I have a few manuscripts at home. I'll send them to you later."
The bookstore owner's eyes lit up and he looked Jiang Yuan up and down.
Well, he looks like a decent guy, and I guess he has seduced countless girls behind his back. The things he writes should be good.
"Okay, we'll split it 70% and 30% then!"
Jiang Yuan immediately refused to accept the offer: "No, Boss, I put so much effort into writing this book, and I only get 70%? Isn't that unfair?"
The shop owner's face fell: "70% is mine, and the 30% depends on whether the cost is enough."
"What? I spent a lot of effort to write a book, and I still have to look up to you to get 30%?" Jiang Yuan said angrily.
The shop owner looked at Jiang Yuan with disdain: "What's wrong with 30%? 30% is not a small amount. Besides, whether you can sell it or not is another matter."
Jiang Yuan smiled at the shop owner and turned around and left decisively.
How could such classic works from the past not sell? What a joke.
Just assume that the store owner doesn't know the goods and can go back to Yun Langtian. The Yuntian Chamber of Commerce is so big that it is impossible for it not to have such sales channels.
After bringing Wang Gang back to the post station, Jiang Yuan asked a few people to purchase some things in the city. The current production level in Taiping County is extremely backward, and it can be said that there is nothing available.
After a busy whole day, all four carriages were full when they arrived, and they were still full when they left.
The next morning, Jiang Yuan and his party drove the carriage out of Luoyun City. There was nothing to do along the way, so Jiang Yuan leisurely cracked melon seeds.
It took half a month to get from Taiping County to Luoyun City. Because they were eager to go home and everything went smoothly when they returned, they actually saved three or four days.
That evening, when the sky was gray, Jiang Yuan and others, who had traveled a long distance, could already see Taiping County from afar.
"I'm home." Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no place is as good as his own.
Although Luoyun City is good, it is not mine after all. Taiping County is my home.
Wang Gang also grinned and galloped his horse. A moment later, Jiang Yuan and others had arrived at the city gate.
Looking at the completed city wall, Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that bastard Ma Zhi could actually build the city wall in just one month."
"With so much money left for him, it would be strange if he couldn't build it well." Li Hu muttered and looked up at the city wall.
"Boy, open the city gate! We're back!"
After waiting for a while, there was no movement on the city gate. Li Hu looked a little embarrassed. He snorted coldly and took a running start to rush up to the city wall.
Although it was not the first time that Jiang Yuan saw Li Hu's lightness skills, he had to admit every time he saw it that this guy's lightness skills were really good.
Li Hu took a running start, lightly stepped on the ground with his toes, and instantly flew into the air, landing on the city wall as light as a swallow.
Then his body suddenly tilted backwards and fell straight down...
Zhao Kai caught Li Hu with quick eyes and hands, flipped him two and a half times in the air, and then threw him to the ground after releasing the force.
"Li Hu, what did you do yesterday? Your legs feel weak? I told you not to do that too much, it will hurt your health, why didn't you listen?" Zhao Kai chattered.
Li Hu came to his senses, jumped up, ran to the side of the road, and rubbed the soles of his shoes on the sand.
"What the hell! That bastard is smearing shit on the city wall!"
"The city's security is so bad! I'm going to kick Ma Zhi in the face!"
Li Hu had just finished complaining when two figures holding torches suddenly flashed across the city gate tower above his head.
"The ones down there, hurry up and move, or I'll throw shit down on you!"
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a long while before he raised a hand and pointed at himself, stammering, "Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense! If not you, who else can I follow? Get out of here!"
Good, good, good! This is really weird. Jiang Yuan was so angry that he laughed: "You two are new here? You don't even know me. Why don't you open the city gate and let me in?"
"Oh! Are you angry? I won't let you in. Get out of here now, or I'll pour it all over you!" The figure holding a torch above pretended to pick up a wooden barrel.
Jiang Yuan took a few steps back calmly. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. If this really splashed on him, he would be so disgusted that he would die.
"I am the county magistrate!" Jiang Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and roared angrily.
"Even if you are the king of heaven, this won't work. Get out of here!"
The two guys on the city gate tower refused to budge and pretended to throw Origai down again.
Jiang Yuan took two steps back again, okay, okay.
You are such a good guy, Ma Zhi. I can trust you with my back without any worries. Even if you stab me in the back, I will accept it.
But why the hell are you taking off your pants?
Aren't you disgusting?
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Before Jiang Yuan could ask Li Hu to attack again, there were several sounds of breaking wind around him.
Jiang Yuan had practiced the Flowing Light Movie with Li Hu for a while after all, so he immediately turned sideways to avoid it, grabbed the feather arrow in mid-air and threw it back.
The above was just a fantasy in Jiang Yuan's mind. At the moment the arrow hit him, Jiang Yuan turned sideways, just enough to prevent the arrow from passing through his chest, but he was still shot directly through the shoulder by the arrow.
"Uh!"
"Master!" Wang Gang's eyes instantly became bloodshot, and his muscles bulged high. He rushed directly in front of Jiang Yuan, grabbed the two flying feather arrows, and broke them with force.
"Be careful!" Zhao Kai shouted softly and drew his sword to cut off a few more feather arrows.
Jiang Yuan endured the severe pain and grabbed Wang Gang: "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, let's go first!"
Wang Gang nodded heavily and picked up Jiang Yuan. Zhao Kai led the way in front, Chen Qing stayed behind, and the group headed deep into the mountains.
"Chase! Don't let them get away!"
"Take those four carriages away!"
A few rough voices were heard, and more than twenty strong men wearing animal skins had arrived at the city gate. They were divided into two teams, one team went to chase Jiang Yuan and others, and the other team rushed towards the carriage.
Jiang Yuan, who was held by Wang Gang, looked pale and blood was gushing from his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and looked behind him. A dozen strong men wearing animal skins were drawing their bows and arrows and were about to aim at Wang Gang.
Chen Qing was an old hand after all. He kicked the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, the group had already disappeared into the dense forest. The dozen or so strong men could only turn back cursing.
Half an hour later, on a small hill near Taiping County, Jiang Yuan and others held their breath and watched more than 20 people leave.
"Horse thieves, I didn't expect they'd come down here already." Jiang Yuan covered his shoulder with his hands, grimacing.
No wonder the two guys at the city gate wouldn’t let anyone get close, and no wonder they refused to open the city gate no matter what.
No wonder feces was smeared on the city walls. So that's why.
Jiang Yuan nodded with a wry smile. Ma Zhi was a bad guy, but it had to be said that he was pretty effective.
It’s not clear whether the horse thieves have deceived our own people, but it is certain that they were deceived by him first.
