Chen Chu pondered: Rui'er's martial arts skills are good, and she is just right to take precautions with her. So he nodded and said, "Well, okay, then Rui'er will go with the eldest brother." The

two greeted Zhang Liao before leaving, but did not tell Zhang Liao what had happened.

When he arrived at the county office, the messenger of the Tiger Roaring Village had been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry, sorry! Chen has something to do, so he has made the distinguished guest wait for a long time! Chen Chu said loudly as soon as he walked into the lobby.

The messenger of Tiger Roaring Village is a very thin guy, with a pair of eyes rolling around, obviously a guy with a bad stomach.

The envoy of Tiger Roaring Village stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Chen's new official will indeed be very busy when he takes office, isn't it often said that new officials take office with three fires!" In addition, I think Mr. Chen is a newcomer, and I am afraid that he does not know much about the rules of Leping County. As soon as the words fell, the envoy of Tiger Roaring Village was stunned, it turned out that he saw Zhang Rui who was following closely behind Chen Chu. At this time, Zhang Rui was wearing a light armor, a long sword at the waist and hips, and her black hair was tied up at will, looking heroic and energetic, coupled with her delicate face, which was a fatal attraction for any man.

The envoy of the Tiger Roaring Village looked at Zhang Rui unscrupulously, and his eyes were like jackals seeing lambs, full of desire.

Being stared at with undisguised eyes by an obscene man, Zhang Rui felt extremely angry. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Chu couldn't be ruined, Zhang Rui would definitely stab that guy to death with a sword.

Chen Chu sat down on the main seat, and Zhang Rui stood beside Chen Chu with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Chen Chu glanced left and right, and found that Wang Han was standing solemnly on both sides of the hall with more than a dozen servants, and the scene seemed to be like a great enemy. Obviously, Wang Han was worried about his safety.

Chen Chu moved his gaze back to the envoy of the Tiger Roaring Village, and then smiled: "I don't know what this good man is called?" The

envoy of Tiger Roaring Village casually hugged Chen Chu and said: "I am the third in the Tiger Roaring Village, and Lord Chen calls me the third master." The tone and demeanor seemed very arrogant.

"Then I don't know why the three masters came?" Chen Chu asked with a smile still on his face. He still has this psychological quality, thinking that when Chen Chu was a salesman, he had encountered a more ugly face than this, and years of training have made Chen Chu absolutely able to face any attitude.

The third master was very satisfied with the other party's attitude, and said in an even more arrogant tone: "I don't have anything else to do here, but to ask Lord Chen for money and food for the first half of this year." "

The thieves came to ask the government for money and food. Hearing such a ridiculous request, Chen Chu was not surprised. On the way here, Chen Chu had already learned the whole thing from the mouth of the servant. It turned out that since the establishment of the Tiger Roar Village, it has been looting and disturbing the place, and the local county order has been reported to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will send troops to suppress the thieves, but every time the chapter is like a mud cow into the sea, there is no echo. After that, the prefectural commanders also tried to suppress the thieves with their own strength, but since the prefectural commander, who was most active in suppressing the thieves, was killed, the others and their successors were terrified and did not dare to mention the matter of suppressing the thieves again. And Tiger Roaring Village did not dare to do too much, so one day three years ago, Tiger Roaring Village and Leping, Baima, Shouyang County Orders Meeting, Tiger Roaring Village promised, as long as the three counties pay 100,000 catties of grain and 1,000 gold every six months, Tiger Roaring Village will no longer harass the three counties, but the business travel between the north and the south is not protected by this commitment. As a result, in these three counties, there was a strange phenomenon of the government paying money and grain to the robbers.

"Oh, I wonder how much I should pay?"

"Not much. The old rules, 100,000 catties of grain and 1,000 gold.

Chen Chu pretended to be taken aback, and then pleaded in a consultative tone: "This, isn't it too much!" Can you be more lenient? The

third master immediately frowned, and just as he was about to scold, his eyes suddenly swept to Zhang Rui beside Chen Chu. This guy rolled his eyes, and then showed a sad smile and said, "Lord Chen, I can make the decision to cut the money and food in half, but you must agree to my request." Speaking of this, the three masters paused deliberately, and their eyes were more unscrupulous on Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui was furious when he saw this, and he even wanted to draw his sword. However, as soon as the sword came out of its shell, the slender hand holding the sword was suppressed by a large hand.

Chen Chu turned his head to look at Zhang Rui, winked at her and shook his head slightly. Zhang Rui had to endure it and hang her head, because she was worried that she would not be able to hold back when she saw that disgusting face again and ruin her eldest brother's big business.

Seeing this scene, the three masters had another idea, and he thought that Zhang Rui was shy! Immediately laughed, and his tone was full of pride.

Just as he was laughing, a voice interrupted him.

"The three masters just said that they could let my county pay half less money and grain, but there is a condition. I wonder what this condition is? Chen Chu asked lightly with an expressionless face.

"It's very simple, as long as Lord Chen replaces the beauties around him, I will be in charge and exempt half of your county's money and food." When he said this, the eyes of the three masters kept staring at Zhang Rui, and his expression was extremely dirty.

Although Chen Chu had expected it, he was still very angry as soon as the other party's words came out. At this moment, Chen Chu's psychological quality that had been cultivated for many years was completely useless, and Chen Chu almost wanted to rush up and strangle this bastard.

Originally, according to Zhang Rui's character, she would definitely rush up to kill this bastard who dared to insult her at this time, but her slender hand tightened at the right time, which made her angry heart settle down again.

Wang Han and the others standing on the left and right all looked at Chen Chu, holding the handle of the knife, as if they were just waiting for Chen Chu's order.

"No, absolutely not!" Chen Chu almost roared, and Chen Chu looked extremely angry at this time. At this same time, Wang Han and the others had already drawn their knives and were half out of their sheaths.

The third master's face suddenly changed, he stood up and stared at Chen Chu and said fiercely: "Lord Chen, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to go against us? Do you think that with the 1,000 soldiers who just put down their hoes, they can compete with our Tiger Roaring Village?

Seeing the arrogant appearance of the three masters, Chen Chu was simply furious. At this time, Chen Chu's eyes were terrifyingly cold.

The two stood and looked at each other, like two roosters, the scene was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.

In fact, the three masters at this time were also very nervous, but they didn't show it. His current actions are just holding up the scene! He didn't expect the other party to react so strongly to his requests, and he knew that he wouldn't have made these requests at all. If he can't talk about the affairs of Leping County smoothly because of his reasons, after he goes back, the big boss will blame him, and he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

At this moment, Chen Chu suddenly smiled, "Don't be nervous, how dare I do anything to you!" Even if I don't think about my own safety, I have to think about the safety of the people under my rule! We have something to discuss! Saying that, Chen Chu made a gesture of invitation to the three masters, and at the same time, Chen Chu glanced at Wang Han and signaled them to be calm. Don't think that Chen Chu can accept the other party's arrogance and insults, Chen Chu just forced himself to endure and pretend to be such a smiling face. Now is not the time to turn his face, otherwise the plan made by Chen Chu will be in vain.

Seeing Chen Chu's low-profile performance, the three masters finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare to push the other party too much at this time, otherwise once things were messed up, not to mention whether he could explain to the big boss, it would be unknown whether he could get out of here safely.

"Lord Chen, since you don't agree with the plan I proposed, forget it. However, 100,000 catties of grain and 1,000 gold are indispensable.

Chen Chu showed a painful look, and replied after a while: "Yes." 100,000 catties of grain and 1,000 gold! I won't be less expensive! The

third master nodded, "That's good." But when will Lord Chen be able to deliver the money and grain?

Chen Chu pondered for a moment and said: "In five days, I will personally escort the money and grain to Guizhai."

"Okay. Then I'll be in the Tiger Roaring Village. I hope that Lord Chen will be true to his word! Otherwise, what the consequences will be, I believe Master Chen knows in his heart. The

three masters immediately stood up and hugged their fists at Chen Chu, "Farewell."

Chen Chu also clenched his fists, "I won't send it far."

After the three masters left, Wang Han suddenly knelt in front of Chen Chu, only to hear him say: "My lord, do you really want to give 100,000 catties of grain and 1,000 gold to the robbers?" When he spoke, Wang Han's face was full of indignation and unwillingness.

Chen Chu sighed, "Wang Han, you are an upright person, I know your thoughts. But you also have to understand that the strength of Tiger Roaring Village is not something that I, Leping County, can compete, if I don't take out this money and food, it will be the people of Leping County who will suffer in the end. Wang Han, I believe you don't want to see the people of Leping County being looted and slaughtered by robbers! "

Speaking of which, what else can Wang Han say! Wang Han sighed, and after saluting Chen Chu, he was about to retreat.

"Wang Han, you take someone to the county treasury to extract the money and grain required by Huxiao Village, and load it properly. This must be done within five days. Chen Chu commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." With that, Wang Han and the others exited the lobby.

Chen Chu turned his head to look at Zhang Rui, and he saw that Zhang Rui was looking at him with a strange look, and his expression was a little dumbfounded.

"Rui'er!" Chen Chu screamed, but Zhang Rui didn't seem to hear it. "Rui'er!" Chen Chu shouted again.

At this time, Zhang Rui finally reacted. I saw her tremble, as if she was frightened.

Only then did Zhang Rui realize that Chen Chu was staring at him with wide eyes. Zhang Rui's eyes showed a panicked look, her cheeks turned crimson, and she hung her head quickly.

At this time, Chen Chu wondered: What the hell is this Rui'er!

"Rui'er, what are you thinking?" , Chen Chu asked.

Zhang Rui immediately shook her head in a panic and waved her hand: "No, no, no!" I didn't think about anything!

Chen Chu felt a little inexplicable, but he didn't chase after this matter. At this time, Zhang Rui said to Chen Chu with red cheeks: "Big brother, can you let go of Rui'er?" "
