Chapter 332: Down the Mountain (2)
Yu Lin looked up, but only saw a black shadow: "Master, my friend and I found bandits in the mountains and knocked them unconscious in the cottage. I came here to ask the master to ask the county master to send troops. Capture the bandits in the cottage and put them in jail."

The officer at the city gate was startled, and immediately said: "You wait first, I will report to the county master first."

In the brightly lit county government office, the county magistrate heard the words of the officials at the city gate, and immediately ordered his servants to put on their coats, and then stepped on a horse and asked the officials to open the city gate.After the city gate opened, the county magistrate stood in front of the city gate, looked at Yu Lin's voice and asked majesticly: "You are the one who came to report. Whether what you said is true or not needs to be verified by the county. If there is a fake, you The head will not be guaranteed, do you understand?"

When Yu Lin heard what he said, his face was still expressionless, and he just cupped his hands and said, "Everything Xiaomin said is true. Xiaomin has brought the bandit leader here. If you don't believe me, you can show it to some officials." !"

As soon as the county magistrate heard that the bandit leader had been captured, his face immediately changed drastically, and then he jumped off the tall horse, and with a wave of his sleeves, several officials surrounded him immediately, turned the tied bandit's head over, and took a closer look .Those who work in the Xuan Yamen must have killed a lot of people, and they are very clear about the wanted criminals, so when the face of the bandit leader was exposed to the torch, some officials recognized it.

"Master, this person is indeed on the most wanted list." The county magistrate's face was dark and unclear under the torch, he raised his head and nodded his chin, and asked the officials to lift the bandit leader up: "You guys put this person first Put them in the prison and watch them, and everyone else will go with me to capture those bandits who are still in the stronghold."

When the officials heard the county magistrate's words, they immediately responded loudly.Fortunately, the officials selected by the county magistrate are capable people in the government office, so they all rode horses alone. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time to reach the mountain. Thinking about other things, he just captured the bandits who were unconscious on the ground.

In the back hall of the county government office, several people from Mulian were standing outside. The county magistrate held a teacup, glanced at the few people in the hall with his sharp eyes, and asked in a light tone: "This county also wants to invite you here. Know what happened on the mountain."

As the leader of this incident, Yu Lin, as soon as he heard the county magistrate's question, he immediately took a step forward, and then explained the matter one by one. Using a living person to grill like a pig, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand to pieces, and the officials in the lobby also looked shocked.

"It's so bold, it's not as good as a beast. I didn't expect such a vicious incident to happen here. It's really..." The county magistrate was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, as if he couldn't say anything to describe it, he slapped the table heavily with one hand, and frowned. He was even more wrinkled, and when he calmed down, he said again: "However, this incident is also due to your credit. You can eliminate such a cruel harm for the town. What reward do you want?" The county magistrate said in a tone Very generous.

Mu Lian's heart moved, she glanced at Yu Lin, and Yu Lin, who sensed her gaze, immediately nodded without a trace. Seeing that he secretly agreed, Mu Lian immediately stood up and said respectfully to the county magistrate: "Mr. I have something to ask for, and I hope the county magistrate can give me some convenience."

After the county magistrate let out an ooh, he responded, "You tell me about this first, and see if the county can help you."

Mulian glanced at the county magistrate quietly, and knew that this person was not so easy to fool, she tidied up her words and said it very solemnly: "Minnv's home is in Lijia Village, and everyone in the village has disappeared due to the drought. , there are only three families in the village now, and the Minnv would like to ask if it is possible to sell the land in Li Family Village to the Minnv."

The county magistrate, who was originally a bit sloppy, immediately straightened up after hearing her words, and began to look at Mulian seriously: "You want to take all the land in Lijia Village, girl, you have a lot of appetite! "

When Mu Lian heard his slightly sarcastic words, she didn't panic and just replied: "The folk girl's ancestors all lived in Lijia Village, so she also has a deep affection for Lijia Village. The folk girl made this request because she wanted to keep the ancestors. Just thinking about it."

Of course, no one in the hall would be so stupid as to believe what Mulian said. The county magistrate touched the teacup on the table, paused, and said, "This matter is not without discussion. If you really want to If you want all the fields in Lijia Village, the county can also sell it to you, but you can afford the price."

The county magistrate is not an idiot. After this drought, the fields in Lijia Village might be left unused. If this is the case, it is better to sell it to others, and then they can say it better.Mulian saw that his face was loose, and her voice didn't seem particularly excited, it was still so calm: "Master County, how much do you want?"

Officials and civilians do business, so naturally one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Now Mulian only hopes that the county magistrate will not open his mouth like a lion.

The county magistrate pondered for a while, and the expressions of the people in the hall were a little restrained. He stretched out five fingers and shook, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone: "5000 taels, this county will not give you sloppy eyes, this is the lowest price , The county also knows that those fields cannot be planted now, and after the drought passes, it will take a long time to start planting."

The county magistrate is not a person who does not touch the fields. Even if it rains in the future and the old days are restored, these fields will definitely have to be fertilized and serviced again before they can be planted again.

"If you can take care of these fields, the county is not a stingy person, and maybe I will give you some convenience in the future." If Mulian can plant these fields well, it will be a big deal to the county magistrate. Merit, perhaps to put it more bluntly, when the county magistrate reported the bandit den they destroyed this time, he would definitely not say that a few villagers brought them down, and the book would naturally say that the county government was dumping them. Do your best and get injured countless times to capture these bandits.

"Folk girls are not ignorant of good and evil, and the 5000 taels of silver will be offered tomorrow." Mu Lian lowered her head, her voice showing a little excitement.
