The gentry did not expect that as soon as they participated in the division of Gaolaozhuang, they snatched Gaolaozhuang and cleaned it, the county took a fancy to them.

Everyone had no choice but to ask someone to go back to withdraw money. Soon, boxes of silver were piled up in the lobby.

Looking at the silver like a hill, the prefect Zhou's eyes shone in his eyes, and the county magistrate Wang was impressed. Otherwise, why was he the prefect, but he was just a county magistrate?

The level of money making is difficult for County Magistrate Wang to think it is difficult to match.

"Haha! You are indeed the cornerstone of the country!" Master Zhou laughed and said, "Everyone is so generous, I thank you for your behalf on behalf of the court!"

The gentry were depressed and had no choice but to pay the money, so they could only agree: "This is all. I hope the Lord of the Mansion will send troops to quell the rebellious bandits as soon as possible and also Dengfeng a peace!"

"It should be, it should be!" Master Zhou nodded and smiled.

Looking at the silver in the lobby, Master Zhou and others looked at the silver, and they had no intention of paying attention to the gentry again.

At this time, the gentry saw that the money had been paid, and the county had no intention of arranging food, so they knew the tactfulness and returned it.

The wool comes from the sheep, and the landlords and wealthy people pay hundreds of taels at once. Even if the loss cannot be compensated, the loss must be minimized.

The landlords, old wealthy, hurriedly left the county government office, hurried back to the village to collect some rent from the tenants in the village, and minimize the losses.

At this time, only four people, including Zhou Magistrate Zhou, Wang Dushan, Hou Fangbo and Ma Bonde, were left in the lobby.

There are 13,000 taels of silver, including the treasury silver from the government, the silver ingots from the landlords, the horse-shoe silver from the northern Shanxi merchants, the silver ingots from the south of the Yangtze River, and even Spanish silver coins from overseas. There are a lot of silver shining, and the scene is extremely impactful.

"I'm getting rich!" Wang Dushan rubbed his hands excitedly. When he went to Dengfeng to become the county magistrate, he had never seen so much money at all.

It's a miserable thing. In the same year, no one of his men made nearly 10,000 taels a year. He was divided into poor counties like Dengfeng, and he also had two local tyrants, Hou Fangbo and Ma Laosi. The people in the county knew that he was not very good at speaking, so they all spent money to find the two of them, so they gave him few opportunities to make them.

Now seeing such a large sum of money, he could only share a thousand taels, how could he not be excited about it?

Ten thousand taels, and Master Ma’s five thousand taels will be completely refunded, and there are still eight thousand taels left.

"Mr. Fu, we've divided it!" Everyone was corrupt officials, so Wang Dushan didn't hide it and showed up directly.

"What is the difference? Why do you get it?" Zhou Yueping suddenly changed his face, "Magistrate Wang, you are the imperial official, so you should pay attention to your words and behaviors."

Wang Dushan and Hou Fangbo were shocked, and Wang Dushan said anxiously: "Mr., this is not in accordance with the customs!"

Seeing that Magistrate Zhou wanted to take it alone, County Magistrate Wang became anxious.

The prefect Zhou sneered: "What is the convention? What are the conventions you have? The 5,000 taels of silver will be returned to Mr. Ma, and the remaining 8,000 taels will be handed over half to the province as the military expenses for the destruction of the treacherous thieves, and half will be invited to Dengfeng for reinforcements. You are even greedy for the county's life-saving money, and you are still not a human being!"

Wang Dushan was speechless. Unexpectedly, Master Zhou pretended to be a fool for him. Although he was not convinced, he could not admit that he was greedy in front of Shangguan.

"What the Lord of the Fu taught me is!" Wang Dushan trembled in anger.

Seeing this, the prefect Zhou nodded and said to Ma Bond: "Old Ma, you will take back five thousand taels of silver. I will give you another four thousand taels to use as the opening fee for the troops under the Ma family Dalang."

Ma Bonde smiled and clasped his fists, "Don't worry, let me leave this matter to me!"

This time, even if Dengfeng County did not pay the money, Ma Bonde would invite the boss of the Ma family to lead troops to destroy Gao Laozhuang.

Now not only did his goal be achieved, but he also demanded 4,000 taels for Boss Ma, which is a win-win situation between him and Prefect Zhou.

When Wang Dushan and Hou Fangbo heard this, they completely understood that this was the fact that the prefect Zhou and Ma Bonde joined forces to cheat money. He added 5 points to 50% of the money.

Wang Dushan's lungs were almost irritated, and Hou Fangbo was also angry.

"Mr. I have divided the money, what should I do in the county?" Hou Fangbo said in a deep voice.

The Master Zhou looked at the two and said, "It will take a certain amount of time to mobilize reinforcements. You two still have to urge the gentry to raise 7,000 taels as soon as possible. With this money, it will take until the government army arrives, so there is no problem."

Hou Fangbo was already angry. Although he was just a county magistrate, he was not afraid of the prefect Zhou. "If you force them, you may have another Gao Laozhuang."

The prefect Zhou frowned slightly and showed unhappiness. However, the Hou family was not easy to offend too much, and said in anger: "The gentry is not good, but you can still collect wages from the people in the city! More than a thousand households in the city, merchants and wealthy households can still raise some money and food!"

The prefect Zhou was fishing in the waters, but it didn't matter. Hou Fangbo had already moved to Jiangbei recently and left the Shura farm in Henan.

The resignation of County Magistrate Wang was also written. This place cannot be kept in place anymore. As long as the post is fine, no matter how much the flood will be involved.

Dengfeng City, the Ma family mansion.

As the richest man in Dengfeng, Mabond has real estate in addition to having watchtowers in Majiabao, Dengfeng County and even in Luoyang City.

The Ma family mansion in Dengfeng is right next to the county government office, which is more grand than the dilapidated county government office.

Ma Bonde came out of the county government and came to the Ma family mansion to visit the injured Ma Laosi.

In the Ma family mansion, Ma Laosi lay on the bed and couldn't move. His wives and concubines surrounded him, looking sad. The Fourth Master's injury was not an ordinary injury. What should they do in the future?

"The master is here!" the servant outside the door shouted.

Ma Bonde walked in, and Ma Laosi's wives and concubines quickly dispersed, bowed and cried, "Master! You have to make the decision for our fourth master!"

When Ma Bond entered the door, he saw Ma Laosi lying on the bed. His heart suddenly sank, "Laosi, why did it become like this?"

When Ma Laosi saw Ma Bond, tears flowed out of his eyes and cried loudly: "Dad, you have to avenge me!"

When Mabond saw that his son had become like this, he was very angry and asked the doctor beside him, "Can't it be cured?"

The doctor bowed quickly and said, "Master Ma, I have tried my best and I have crushed it all. I can only cut it off, otherwise I will not be able to save one under my body."

Ma Bond sat on the edge of the bed with a calm face, pulling Ma Laosi and said, "Second, don't worry, for your father, you have asked the boss to bring troops here, and this revenge must be avenged."

...

Gao Laozhuang, after Chi Bei's expansion was completed, Gao Huan was immediately anxious and his subordinates discussed the next move.

"Young Master! Just attack the county town!" Li Pingyuan said: "The county has only more than 100 officials and soldiers, and most of them have been killed by us. We will definitely be able to defeat the county town."

Gao Huan shook his head, "It's not difficult to capture the county town. The key is that once the county town is captured, the province will not ignore it."

"What the young master means!" Li Pingyuan asked.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Be calm, follow the previous plan, and deal with all the local tyrants and evil gentry outside the county town, and mobilize all the tenants and the people. In this way, even if the official army comes to suppress the attack, we will not be afraid."

Song Xiance said: "Young master wisely. If we occupy the county town and the government army comes to suppress it, if we don't solve the local tyrants and evil gentry outside the city first, they will definitely help the government army and besiege us. Therefore, it is better to clear the periphery first and strengthen the troops!"

Just as he was talking, Liu Qi hurried in, bowed and said, "Young master, brothers found out that the county asked the gentry to donate silver to us. The old money was forced to donate money. When he returned to the village, he asked the tenants to collect rent. Several villages started to make trouble!"

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows and stood up, "This is really God helping me!"
