  Chapter 66 Horse bandits must be suppressed!

   "Shua!"

  Chen Yuan stepped out in an instant, a white light flashed across the knife, and the knife was placed in front of the man's neck, and said coldly: "What are you, you dare to talk to this arrest?"

   "When will the county government suppress the bandits and still need to report to you?"

   "Chen Chen catcher how to go to war."

   "Don't do that, don't do that."

   "Chen Butou calm down."

  Feeling the coolness from the blade, the cold sweat on the face of the middle-aged man whose neck was held by the long knife immediately dripped from his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice:

   "Master Chen, don't be impulsive, I did speak louder just now. Master Chen, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

  Li Mingqi smiled, watching Chen Yuan's performance with great interest.

   He is more and more satisfied with Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan stared at him, reached out and patted his shoulder:

   "Patriarch Chen, this arrest is just a joke, don't take it to heart."

   "Of course, of course." The man called Patriarch Chen smiled brightly, with some reluctance on his face, just now, he really felt a murderous aura.

  Seeing that Chen Yuan stopped doing anything, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

  They are not afraid, but the purpose is not here. They want to find a way to get the goods back through the yamen, not to conflict with the yamen, and the conflict is not so easy to start.

  This Chen Yuan is young and energetic, and he draws his sword when he disagrees with him. It is unwise to fight against such a person!

   Chen Yuan looked at the stunned patriarchs, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he raised his voice:

   "The horse bandits must be suppressed!"

   "Everyone also has a deep understanding. These horse bandits kill without blinking an eye. It is really a serious problem in Ping'an County. With these thieves around, how can we be safe?"

   "I'm afraid, I dare not even leave the city on weekdays."

   "But to tell you the truth, the county government wants to do something, but there is not enough money for rewards, and there is not enough money for pensions. Let me ask you, there is not even money. How dare the arresting government officials risk their lives?"

   "Then what does Butou Chen mean?"

   Someone asked with a frown.

  Chen Yuan glanced at Li Mingqi, who was sitting at the head and remained calm, smiled and said:

   "The meaning of this arrest is very simple. If you want to suppress the bandits, you can, but you have to come up with some money. In this way, the government officials under my arrest will fight these horse bandits to the end!"

  The people who were sitting looked at each other, even if they were stupid, they could understand what Chen Yuan meant, it is okay to suppress the bandits, just bring the money, otherwise, who would work for you?

   "Chen Butou, I have never been short of monthly money, why now" someone whispered, a little dissatisfied, they have a lot of money every year.

   Now it's time to do business, but you still have to collect money. Officials, there is really no f**king good thing!

  Chen Yuan drooped his eyelids, and said slowly:

   "I have never seen this money before, how about this, whoever you give the money to, let him kill the horse bandits for you."

  Although it is common practice to accept bribes secretly, few dare to speak out.

  Chen Yuan wants to see if they dare to tell who they gave the extra money to.

   "How much does Catcher Chen want?" The well-built middle-aged man stood up and stopped the others from talking.

  He could see very clearly that the catcher Chen in front of him didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles. Even if he brought out some people, he could force the county government arresters to suppress the bandits, but if they didn't work hard, what could he do?

  My own goods are the most important thing. Once the time is delayed, the compensation will not be a small amount.

   "How much money do you think is appropriate for suppressing bandits?"

  Chen Yuan didn't make his own decisions, and set his sights on Li Mingqi, who was at the top.

  Li Mingqi showed a very sensible smile, and said lightly:

"Suppressing bandits is what the county government should have intended, but it is true that as Chen Butou said, if there is not enough reward, the catchers in the county government will not go all out. The group of horse bandits who are causing harm to the common people will be wiped out, and Ping'an County will be restored to a brighter future!"

  Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, Li Mingqi is worthy of being a county lieutenant, and his high-sounding words are also very powerful!

  The several family heads who were sitting seemed to be a little hesitant, and their eyes wandered. Fifty taels per family was not a small number, adding up to two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

   Almost a quarter of the value of that shipment.

   "Why, how many people don't want to?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and scanned them one by one.

   "Okay, fifty taels!"

  The well-built middle-aged man seemed to have a high prestige. After he made the decision, no one else had any objections.

   "As soon as the money arrives, the county government immediately starts to suppress the bandits!"

  Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.

   "Okay, Chen Butou is a straightforward person, and I am absolutely unequivocal. Before dark today, the money from my Yang family will be delivered to Chen Butou!"

  The middle-aged man with a rich body is very bold.

   "So good!"

  Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

  After negotiating the money, the rest of the matter was very simple. It was nothing more than a few more polite words. After a while, the speakers of several families left the county government.

  Before leaving, Chen Yuan and Tie Qinghua looked at each other calmly and smiled.

   "My lord, after they deliver the silver, I will send Wang Ping to your residence."

   After everyone left, Chen Yuan smiled.

   "There's no need to play tricks like these. You keep one hundred and fifty taels of money, and you can send one hundred taels." Li Mingqi said lightly.

   "Thank you, my lord."

  Chen Yuan showed some respect in a timely manner.

  Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan:

   "It doesn't matter if you don't accept the money, you can't suppress the bandits. Once the money is collected, it will not be that simple. They will definitely find a way to poke it."

   "Isn't there still an adult here?"

  Chen Yuan said softly.

  But in my heart I was thinking, I took half of it with my mouth, I can't even fart, right?

   "Tell me, what are your plans?"

  Li Mingqi looked directly at Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan immediately said:

   "To tell you the truth, the humble job actually has some clues."

   "Oh?" Li Mingqi was taken aback. Chen Yuan already had clues when these people came to report to the officials today?

  The detective is nothing more than that, right?

  Instinctively, Li Mingqi didn't quite believe it.

  Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said:

   "Your Excellency, do you know who is the woman in Tsing Yi among the five people who came together just now?"

   "Of course I know Tie Xuan's younger sister."

   Li Mingqi said in a low voice.

   "Yes, it is Tie Laotou's younger sister. Once Tie Laotou died, the Tie family was squeezed out a lot. Many forces wanted to swallow up the Tie family's foundation. Last night, Tie Qinghua found me and hoped that I could protect her."

   "It was through her mouth that Beizhi learned about these horse bandits, and also got some clues."

   Chen Yuan said, carefully observing Li Mingqi's expression, after all, Tie Xuan and him were not the same way before.
