Chapter 1747 County Magistrate He Youguang!
Baling County.
After successfully reaching the resting city designated by Chen Changsheng, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The 30 million divine source silver has now spread almost throughout the entire bandit circle.
Until the Escort Association sent an expert, Ling Siyuan still felt a heavy burden in his heart.
"Sir, the Escort Association just sent a letter. This time they are sending experts to escort the convoy together."
"They will meet us in about five hours. Please do not move around casually during this time."
Ling Siyuan tactfully stated his request, but Chen Changsheng had already taken Lin Yuan and Bai Ze out of the carriage.
"I'm going out for a walk first. I'll be back within twelve hours."
"Sir, I'm afraid..."
Before Ling Siyuan could finish his words, Chen Changsheng disappeared.
Facing Chen Changsheng who refused to obey orders, Ling Siyuan could only twitch his lips and said, "Everyone, move out and ensure the safety of the young master!"
"Captain Ling, with your strength, I'm afraid you won't be in danger in Baling County."
An escort spoke up.
Seeing this, Ling Siyuan glared at him and said, "Of course I'm not worried about your safety, I'm worried about the box in your hand."
"Don't forget, the young master's request was to deliver him and the box in his hand safely to the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages."
"If the box is stolen during this time, our escort mission will be considered a failure."
"Do you know how much we'll have to pay if this dart fails?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the escorts began to feel their scalps tingling.
According to the rules of the escort agency, if the escort fails, the compensation amount is three times the escort silver.
This means that all the escort agencies need to pay the escort agency 90 million divine sources of silver.
Such a huge amount of money is too much to pay even if you sell dozens of escort agencies!
"That box is so precious, it shouldn't be lost easily."
"Of course not under normal circumstances, but the problem is that none of us has seen what's inside the box."
"Although there are traces of the seal we left together on the box, what if you are suddenly attacked and the seal on the box is broken by chance?"
"At that time, whether the contents of the box are lost or not is no longer up to us."
Everyone: "..."
How could I forget this?
......
Street.
Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze wandered around aimlessly.
Bai Ze's unique shape attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
At the same time, Lin Yuan followed Chen Changsheng with a heavy heart.
"Sir, why did you leave my brother in the escort team?"
"The carriage needs someone to watch over it. If no one is watching, what if things get stolen?"
"Is it really just that?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Lin Yuan and said, "What else can we do?"
"Once the escort association comes, my brother will definitely die."
"Young Master, are you trying to push my brother out to take the blame and leave me behind?"
Facing Lin Yuan's speculation, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Young man, sometimes you shouldn't have too much imagination."
"The game of big shots is sometimes not as complicated as you think."
“What you think is unsolvable can probably be solved by sitting down and having a meal.”
"Sir, it's not that Lin Yuan doesn't trust you, it's just that we two brothers are burdened with an old case."
"As long as we are alive, there will be people in this world who..."
"Sir, my master invites you!"
As he was speaking, a servant came up to Chen Changsheng.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Look, it's coming!"
After saying that, Chen Changsheng ignored Lin Yuan and waved his hand to let the servant lead the way.
Looking at Chen Changsheng's back, Lin Yuan hesitated again and again, and finally had no choice but to follow Chen Changsheng's footsteps.
......
Zuixian Tower.
Stepping into the oppressive box, a middle-aged man immediately stood up and said with a smile.
"Baling County is poor and the conditions are simple. I hope fellow Daoists will not despise us."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm He Youguang, the governor of Baling County."
"So it's the County Magistrate. I'm so sorry!"
After hearing He Youguang's introduction, Chen Changsheng immediately became enthusiastic.
"If I had known it was the County Magistrate who was coming, I should have been the one to prepare the meal. How could I let the County Magistrate spend the money?"
"Ugh!"
"There's no need to distinguish so clearly between you and me, brothers."
"Besides, it's my honor to be able to welcome you, brother."
The two people who were originally strangers instantly became brothers.
Such a rapid change stunned Lin Yuan who was standing by.
"Brother, it's a shame we met so late. How about I give you a gift this time?"
"You're welcome, brother. What's the gift?"
"this thing!"
He Youguang handed a notice to Chen Changsheng, which clearly stated the handling of Gao Ming.
"Brother, this Gao Ming is my subordinate. I didn't expect him to be so bad at his job."
"So I charged him with dereliction of duty. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng slowly put the notice down and said with a frown, "I know Mr. Gao. He doesn't look like someone who would neglect his duties."
"Oh!"
"It seems like you know Gao Ming very well, brother?"
"Not really, but very well."
"I believe that the master has devoted himself to the cause until his death. Not only should he not be punished, but he should be greatly rewarded!"
Faced with Chen Changsheng's request, He Youguang was silent for a moment, then lowered his body slightly and spoke.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to give you this face, it's just that someone above me wants to deal with him, and I can't do anything about it."
"is it?"
Chen Changsheng looked puzzled and asked, "What on earth did he do that the people above insisted on dealing with him?"
"My brother was attacked within his jurisdiction, and the superiors are aware of this matter."
"Just for this one thing, he can never atone for his sin even if he dies!"
"So that's how it is, then why hasn't he died yet?"
This sentence brought the atmosphere to a freezing point, and He Youguang looked at Chen Changsheng in front of him with cold eyes.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. He is ruthless enough!"
"This Gao Ming is my brother's man. He usually helps me with some small things."
"You said that at this critical moment, if I don't protect him, who will?"
"Brother, you are wrong. What Gao Ming can do, I can do too!"
"Ugh!"
"How can I ask you to help me?"
"Brother, I have lived a life of poverty as an official, and I will never take your money."
"The people of Baling County can attest to this. My house has been in ruins for a long time and I haven't had the money to repair it."
"Fix it! It must be fixed!"
"How could an honest official like my brother endure such injustice?"
"I'll give you 300,000 divine sources to help my brother build a decent mansion."
"No! No!"
He Youguang waved his hand to reject Chen Changsheng's conditions.
