Chapter Fifteen

Someone took the lead, and others also started shouting.

"His family has a total of more than 20 acres of land, which can only be sold for more than 300 taels of silver. The house and land together only cost more than 200 taels of silver. The total amount is only more than 500 taels of silver. You can do it all at once.

Isn't it too greedy to part with two hundred taels?"

An acre of fertile land only costs more than ten taels of silver. In addition, houses in outer cities are not valuable, so there is not much difference in this calculation.

Others also followed suit and denounced it.

Seeing that he couldn't bear it anymore, the sixth uncle had no choice but to say, "How about if I pay another hundred taels of silver, all his family's fields will belong to me, and you can sell the rest and divide them among yourself?"

Someone immediately mocked: "Sixth uncle, are you confused? This field is worth more than three hundred taels of silver. How can you add another hundred taels of silver to it? Two hundred taels is not enough."

"How about this? If you take out six hundred taels of silver, these things will be yours."

After hearing this, the sixth uncle agreed quickly: "Okay, I will pay you six hundred taels, and all these things will be mine."

His decisiveness actually made many people wonder if there were things they didn't know about, and these things might be worth more money.

However, even though they thought so, no one spoke.

The real benefit is the money you get in your hands. Even if you get these things, you still have to find a buyer, so they are not easy to cash out.

In this way, 600 taels of silver were divided among more than a dozen families, and one family only received less than 50 taels of silver.

Xu Rong didn't say a word during the whole process, but with the clothes he was wearing, his share would be no less.

After all, Xu Rong at least has the strength to refine the skin membrane, and the policeman can be considered a small official.

It may be difficult to do something well, but it is easy to do bad things.

Xu Rong is quite satisfied with this harvest.

Comparatively, a month's salary for a police officer is only ten taels of silver. Now, just by stopping there, he gets four or five months' salary.

After returning home, Xu Rong told what happened at that time.

After hearing this, the old man snorted coldly: "These people have always been like this, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. If they continue like this, the Xu family will be finished sooner or later."

"Xu Mo, the leader of the clan, is really..."

The old man didn't say what he said next, but it was definitely not a good thing.

It's just that Xu Mo rarely cares about these things now. Last time, Xu Rong came to the house and exchanged things for it.

This time, I simply asked a junior member of the family to worship him and then left.

The old man once again lamented: "Each family is sweeping the snow in front of their door. These people are like hungry wolves. When they see someone showing signs of fatigue, they will bite them, but they become submissive to others."

Xu Rong doesn't look down on these people, so what is his ability to bully people in the clan?

It’s just something that bullies the weak and fears the strong!

"Anyway, we won't have any contact with them in the future. What they do has nothing to do with us. If there is any benefit, we will share it. If we want to contribute, don't even think about it."

Xu Rong doesn't care about the friendship between the same ethnic groups.

If someone had stood up to help when he was bullied before, he would definitely repay the favor in the future, but unfortunately not.

It's not just adding insult to injury, it's because of Xu Mo. It's impossible to expect them to help.

Xu Rong guessed: "Perhaps Xu Mo has seen through the true nature of these people, so he doesn't want to care about them, right?"

In his opinion, Xu Mo is definitely a smart person and it is impossible not to see the problems.

But Xu Mo didn't pay attention to it, naturally there was a reason for it.

The old man was also a little disinterested: "Forget it, don't mention these unpleasant things."



night.

Taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds, Xu Rong successfully found the remaining stolen money in a house with a courtyard opposite his residence according to the location given by the murderer.

In addition to banknotes and silver coins, there are also a lot of gold and silver jewelry, jade pendants and the like.

Xu Rong made a rough estimate and found that the total value of these things exceeded one thousand five hundred taels of silver.

In other words, Xu Rong now owns almost 3,200 taels of silver.

"As expected, it's a gold belt for murder and arson!"

Xu Rong was quite emotional. In just a few days, he had accumulated such a large amount of wealth.

"A man will not be rich without windfall, a horse will not be fat without weeds, the ancients will not deceive me!"

Xu Rong returned home quietly, hid all his things, and then Xu Rong fell asleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Xu Rong practiced boxing as usual, then had something to eat and then went to the Yamen.

As soon as he finished tapping, Xu Rong felt Zhao Long's eyes falling on him.

"Xu Rong, you have nothing to say about yesterday's case?"

Xu Rong's heart moved, and he probably guessed what Zhao Long was thinking, but he just pretended not to know.

"say what?"

"What did you say? You're still pretending to be confused!"

Zhao Long snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, the murderer robbed so many people, where is the stolen money?"

Xu Rong said innocently: "Then you have to ask him. I didn't steal it."

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.

Xu Rong and Liu Zizai were not the only ones who disliked Zhao Long.

"you!"

Zhao Long's face flushed with anger, "Keep the stolen money as your own, promise, I will ask the county magistrate to remove you from office and investigate."

"Not to mention that you framed me for this, you can just do whatever you want the magistrate to do. Is the magistrate your subordinate?"

Xu Rong looked at Zhao Long expressionlessly and continued: "This murderer was extremely ruthless when he committed the murder. Naturally, I will not hold back. How can I ask anything else from a dead man?"

"What a joke!"

"Deputy Zhao, if you only know this way of confusing right and wrong and trying to suppress dissidents, then you should just resign, otherwise the entire yamen will be smeared by you."

There was silence in the yamen at this time. No one expected that Xu Rong, who was usually quiet and reserved, could speak so sharply and be rude to Zhao Long.

Many people think that Xu Rong is a broken person now, since he has been put on the back foot anyway, so he might as well do it head-on.

Bang bang bang!

There was a burst of applause, followed by a very familiar voice: "Well said, if our yamen are all such waste, then what can we do to protect the people?"

A tall and thin figure walked in from the door.

"Huo Captou!"

"Captain Huo is back!"

"..."

A series of surprising sounds sounded.

This person is none other than Huo Mingjue, another deputy chief catcher. Compared with Zhao Long, his reputation in the yamen is much higher.

Zhao Long's face turned livid: "Huo Mingjue, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious what I mean? You still accuse your colleagues unjustly without any evidence. What do you mean by this?"
