Mu Yan didn't tell anyone about the assassination she experienced last night. This morning she went to the scene to check, but she didn't expect that the assassin's body had long since disappeared.

She couldn't help but sigh that these people had quite professional ethics and were actually responsible for handling the aftermath.

The county government office had been idle for a few days, and Su Jishan was so idle that he almost felt moldy.

Meng Da'an walked in with a greeting card and handed it to Mu Yan, "Sir, a merchant from Longcheng handed it to me."

Mu Yan took a look at the content on the greeting card. There were more than ten merchants in Longcheng, and there were hundreds of others, large and small.

These ten families jointly held a banquet to entertain her. It is not difficult to guess that this must be a Hongmen Banquet.

She just wanted to ask these people for something, but she didn't expect that these people would bring it to her door themselves.

"Su Jishan, take out the account books I asked you to sort out a few days ago, and we'll go meet them."

Su Jishan's eyes lit up. What he meant was that someone had sent money to the door again. She immediately went to get the account book happily.

The venue for the banquet was Xianweizhai. In order to entertain the county magistrate, the merchants directly booked the Xianweizhai and served top-notch dishes. It was really a generous gesture.

When Mu Yan arrived, he saw many people waiting at the door, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Mu Yan, everyone came to greet him.

The female man welcomed him with open hands, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate, is willing to come to the banquet, which really makes us proud."

Mu Yan looked at the merchant without changing his expression, "It's an honor for Mu to be invited by all the bosses."

The female man looked at the calm magistrate with some doubts, but she still swallowed her doubts and said with a smile: "Where, where, the banquet has been prepared. Please follow us in."

As the magistrate of a county, Mu Yan calmly sat down on the main seat.

She clearly knew that the businessmen standing next to her were all involved with each other, and the relationship between them was complex and subtle.

"Bosses, why don't you take a seat?"

Everyone looked at each other and then took their seats one by one.

They never expected that the county magistrate would take the throne without humility.

It was as if she was telling them: Now Longcheng is in charge of her, so let them keep their peace.

Everyone exchanged glances secretly, with various complex emotions flashing in their eyes.

Mu Yan turned a blind eye to this and waited for the banquet organizer to start the feast.

Boss Zhang was the first to speak with a wink: "It is an honor for me that the county magistrate is willing to invite you to come today. I would like to propose a toast to you, Mr. Zhang."

Mu Yan raised his hand and raised his glass in response: "It's Mu's honor."

In this Hongmen Banquet, the competition is patience.

Mu Yan had plenty of time, enough to spend it with everyone.She looked at everyone calmly, having already planned everything in her mind.

What's the most important thing about a banquet? Don't let yourself go hungry. Mu Yan filled his stomach calmly and looked at the bosses who had their own thoughts and raised their wine glasses.

"Longcheng's current prosperity is all due to the help of all the bosses. Mu has little talent and knowledge. He is just a farmer. He will still need your help in the future."

After hearing this, Boss Huang stood up and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? It is our luck that Longcheng is now managed in an orderly manner by the adults.

From now on, if we merchants have adults to protect us, everything will go smoothly. "

They had all unanimously affirmed before that the new peasant magistrate would not be able to change the world.

Unexpectedly, what the county magistrate did this month directly subverted their cognition.

I don't dare to despise her anymore.

When I met the county magistrate today, I realized that this person is really not a simple person. He clearly knew that this banquet was a Hongmen Banquet, but he still pretended to be confused.

They have been frightened by the county magistrate's thunderous methods. The most important thing today is to test whether the county magistrate will sell them a favor.

Mu Yan deliberately did not understand the meaning of her words in depth and gave a pertinent reply, "It is my duty to protect Longcheng. Bosses, please rest assured."

Boss Huang didn't get the answer he wanted, and kept thinking about whether the county magistrate really didn't know what she meant, or he was pretending not to know.She winked at Boss Huang, who was sitting opposite her.

Boss Huang immediately understood the hint and raised his glass to toast Mu Yan.

"It is our blessing that the county magistrate is so dedicated to his duties. I respect you Huang."

After finishing a glass of wine, Boss Huang said tentatively, "I just don't know if we have anything the county magistrate needs. If we do, we will definitely give it to you."

A dark light flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, and he knew in his heart that they couldn't keep calm, and wanted to test whether he had any leverage over them.

Bosses Huang and Zhang talked to her frequently, but every time they spoke, they would glance at Boss Wang sitting beside her without leaving any trace, indicating that the three people had some inseparable connection.

The other bosses only had a few casual conversations with her and then sat down peacefully. Only these two kept testing, but there was some hint of wooing her.

Mu Yan pretended to have a headache, "Every boss knows that since I took charge of Longcheng, I have not received any charcoal from the government.

It's winter now, and it's hard for the people to have enough to eat. I really have trouble sleeping and eating! "

This sentence was spoken with sincerity and sincerity, and it can be seen clearly by all the bosses.

She was really embarrassed by the charcoal being delayed on the road.

The bosses exchanged glances. Since they were asking for money, it would be easy. As the saying goes, it is easy to be merciful.

They said that there are no officials who are not greedy, and they are not like Magistrate Yang, who used the people's excuses to ask for money from them.

Boss Wang, who had been motionless, stood up, poured a glass of wine and walked to Mu Yan's side.

"Sir, please rest assured. Although I don't have much property at home, I will definitely satisfy you in order to understand your urgent needs."

People who are greedy for money are the easiest to win over, so naturally she will not let this opportunity go.

Thinking about it, the county magistrate was eager to handle the case before, just to show his strength to his superiors.

Mu Yan was surprised, "Boss Wang is willing to help me."

Boss Wang bowed and said, "I am willing to do my best for you."

Mu Yan stood up excitedly and held Boss Wang's hand, "The people of Longcheng are really lucky to have a hero like Boss Wang in Longcheng."

She quickly ordered Su Jishan behind her, "Su Jishan takes out the account books. Boss Wang wants to raise donations for the people of Longcheng. Please register carefully. I will write letters of thanks one by one after I return."

The bosses were startled and looked sideways. How could a nice banquet turn into a fundraising scene? Could it be that they were going to bleed a lot today?

Boss Wang secretly thought that it was too bad, the county magistrate had fallen into the trap. The gift giving was originally done in private, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to say it loudly to his face.

She was the first to bring up this matter, and if she doesn't take the lion's share now, she will definitely have trouble getting through it.

Unexpectedly, she was distracted by the county magistrate's few words.

But one thing she was sure of was that the new county magistrate was just like Magistrate Yang. If she could donate a large amount this time, it would be easier for her in the future.

Not only she thought this, but everyone present thought so. Although the people did not fight with the officials, they sometimes needed the officials to take care of them. Why not sell well now.

Mu Yan secretly took in the expressions of these people, and she silently thanked Boss Wang again.

When Su Jishan received the order, he had already taken out his account book and circulated among the bosses.

If someone donated less, she deliberately said it loudly. The boss looked embarrassed and donated more to avoid being laughed at.

While collecting donations, she also asked the bosses to put their fingerprints on a piece of paper.

Seeing that things were almost done, Mu Yan raised his glass again to express his thanks.

"Thank you bosses for lending a helping hand here. I am deeply grateful. As the official of Longcheng's parents, I will do my best to protect the people and I will not let you down."

 Thank you so much for your votes.
