Chapter 40 Extorting Money
After entering the county seat, everyone was driven into the inn dedicated to exile like ducks. When several officials were still counting and checking the number of people, the fat county magistrate brought them here with a smile.

"My lords are traveling day and night, and the journey is hard. I have prepared good wine and food. Can I invite you to drink and eat meat together?"

The Fat County Magistrate knows how to be a man, and he came as soon as he came, with a pig's head in his hand, and yelled to invite the officials to have a big drink. The officials immediately burst into smiles, but they still turned their attention to Wang Gang.

After all, the elder brother hadn't spoken yet, and they didn't dare to make the decision without authorization. The escorted exiles were required to stay within sight. If they didn't say hello, it was called AWOL. If something went wrong, they couldn't afford it.

"Brother Wang, seeing that you look good, you can take the leading position. You must have extraordinary skills. It just so happens that the gang of yamen servants under me are all embroidered pillows, which are fancy but not useful. They just follow your brothers to communicate and learn... ..."

The fat county magistrate hooked Wang Gang's neck, but in fact he secretly stuffed some broken silver in his hand. He didn't know what to do in the capital, but he had been an official for many years and told him that there was nothing that money couldn't solve.

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows slightly, and at the same time he accepted it, he made a gesture of rest, and all the officials cheered, shoulders and backs, and went out to drink a lot of wine.

As soon as the officials left, everyone who was still somewhat cautious relaxed a lot, while Cheng Weiyao wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a meeting and buy some daily necessities.

Although there is QQ Farm as a gold finger, condiments such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea still have to be solved by themselves, and even in exile now, food and clothing also need to be properly supplemented.

Action is worse than heartbeat. Just as she stepped out of the gate of the inn, her back foot was blocked by the scabbard lying in front of her. Cheng Weiyao took a step back, blinking with a pure face.

"Master Guancha is trying to restrict my freedom? Other prisoners can go out to buy things, so it shouldn't be so obvious for Qingping Prince's Mansion, right?"

Wang Gang put down the scabbard, but leaned against the door with his long legs, apparently not intending to let Cheng Weiyao pass through easily. When he entered the city, he saw the notice posted on the city wall in the county, that Xiong Xiazi's reward was not low.

My brother died or was injured, and he had to make up for it, and the best candidate was Cheng Weiyao.

"I'm not going to play around with you either. Let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Without my saber, King Qingping can't easily take down that Xiong Xiazi. Just slipping, Xiong Xiazi can kill people..."

Wang Gang's words are euphemistic, but there is only one meaning between the lines: asking for money.

"Are you joking, sir? The county magistrate said there was a bounty, but I haven't seen a dime since I entered the county seat. Are you blocking the door and asking me if it's appropriate?"

Cheng Weiyao had a smile on her face, and scolded her mother in her heart. Seeing that the county magistrate learned that Xiong Xiazi was hunted by the Qingping Palace, his fascinated look made it clear that he didn't intend to give money.

"That's a matter between you and the county magistrate. If you want to save money, you can discuss it with him yourself. What I want is compensation. My knife can't be used in vain, right? What's the point?"

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of reason, he didn't care, whether Cheng Weiyao could receive the bounty in the end, he only knew that seeing a doctor and treating injuries was a lot of money for the brothers.

Cheng Weiyao's brows twitched. Wang Gang looked easy to talk, but he had no reason at all. Isn't this just black and white?
"If you really don't have it, it's easy to handle. If you want to get a bounty, I will give you a trick. The county magistrate obviously has a crush on your sister-in-law. The road to exile is long and hard. Why don't you stay and be a concubine and enjoy the happiness?"

Wang Gang smiled meaningfully, and he knew that people like the county magistrate had nothing to offer, and invited people to drink for no reason.

"This……"

Cheng Weiyao's heart sank when she heard the words. Hearing the words of the county magistrate, this kind of thing seems to be commonplace. It is also common for some female prisoners to die during the exile. Now it seems that there is something tricky here.

"I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you to do it or not. I think you've spent a lot of money all the way. Have you spent all your natal dowry? If you don't want to be married, please be filial. I'll help you push the magistrate's kindness. "

Wang Gang smiled narrow-mindedly. The Qingping Prince's Mansion was indeed poor and poor, but Cheng Weiyao was born in the Duke's Mansion at any rate, and was married as a substitute. Even if it was to cover up his ugliness, the dowry would probably not be less.

"If you want money, you want life."

Cheng Weiyao frowned and planned to force her way in. This precedent cannot be set, otherwise it will become more and more troublesome, and ambitions are fed step by step.

Seeing that Cheng Weiyao would not eat or drink as a punishment, Wang Gang was not polite and immediately started to look for it himself. He has been pondering over the past few days, most of Cheng Weiyao's jewelry and silver come out of his hands, and most of them are hidden in his sleeve pockets. inside……

"Too deceiving!"

Cheng Weiyao was really annoyed, even though the other party came here for money, but what is the difference between this kind of behavior and a salty pig's hand?
Wang Gang didn't expect that Cheng Weiyao looked soft and weak, but her figure was nimble. Although she lacked strength, she was as difficult to get close to as a slippery loach.

Seeing those hands about to grab her belt, Cheng Weiyao had an idea, and shouted heart-piercingly: "Deng Tuzi! I have a husband, and I must never follow you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Gang's face froze, and Cheng Weiyao's voice was not low, and he let out a howl. People both inside and outside the inn all cast condemning eyes.

He really didn't expect Cheng Weiyao to be so cunning, she really had the face to shout for a few liang of silver.

"Could it be that the little girl misunderstood the officer? Then what are you doing blocking the door for no reason?"

Under the eyes of everyone, Cheng Weiyao pretended to be weak and helpless, but Wang Gang in front of her was so dark that she could eat people.

"The gate of the inn is narrow! I'll get out of the way!"

These words almost popped out from between Wang Gang's teeth. If he really had that thought, that's all. He didn't want to be called a beast in clothes for no reason.

Cheng Weiyao smiled, and Wen Chengyun saw the interaction between the two of them. Originally, he had already planned to make a move, but when he saw that she could solve it by herself, he let her go.

On the contrary, he admired Cheng Weiyao's behavior. It is better to resist bravely than to suffer a big loss by speaking out. He can control people's life for a lifetime, not living in the mouth of others.

"Mother, look at her, she's still going out to make trouble at all, brother married this is not a good wife, she's clearly a restless vixen..."

Wen Liyu looked at Cheng Weiyao who was about to go out, and complained to the imperial concubine in a depressed mood, mainly because she still felt that Cheng Weiyao had lost the face of Prince Qingping by shouting so loudly.
