I felt Li Yueming's vigilance and preparedness.

Ma Baifan smiled awkwardly.

After thinking for a while, he complained: "Sir, you don't know. The Iron Fist Brotherhood is a cancer among cancers in our departure city. They usually bully men, dominate women, burn, kill, and loot, and they often

Abducting children from the city..."

"All the people in Ligang City want to take their skins off and light up sky lanterns!"

"It's a pity that as the city lord, I am a scholar, and I don't have a warrior as powerful as you under my command, so I am helpless against them..."

Listen to his complaints.

Li Yueming also just smiled.

Obviously.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Yueming to reveal any unnecessary information before he has figured out this guy's purpose.

Seeing that he has no food or salt.

Ma Baifan finally stopped being polite and switched to the main course.

He clapped his hands.

The next second.

Two servants carrying plates suddenly appeared behind the door.

——The length and width of the plate are about sixty centimeters, and the items placed on it are covered by a piece of gray cloth.

Judging from the vague outline.

Unable to determine what exactly is in it.

In the doubtful eyes of Li Yueming and Wang Ermazi.

A servant slowly took off the cloth covering the plate.

Suddenly.

Silver light blooms.

Underneath the cloth are a dozen silver ingots of excellent quality!

Before the two of them came to their senses.

Another waiter came over carrying another plate.

Open the cloth and take a look.

Golden light flashes.

The second plate actually contained more than a dozen golden gold bars!

Such huge wealth.

Even Wang Ermazi, a warrior, could not help but breathe a little faster.

You must know that these are troubled times.

The treasure banknotes issued by the Great Xia court have long been reduced to worthless toilet paper.

Copper coins from various places are seriously adulterated due to the long-term shortage.

Purchasing power is also very average.

Only the serious silver ingots and gold bars in front of you are the strongest hard currency everywhere!

A dozen gold bars and a dozen silver ingots.

Even for a successful martial artist, it is still a considerable amount of wealth!

therefore.

Even Wang Erpazi, who was on the carriage, was blinded by the bright banknotes.

…

Watching my beloved little yellow croaker getting further and further away from me.

Ma Baifan also showed a bit of sadness on his face.

However, he concealed this expression very well and did not show it obviously.

After Li Yueming and the others determined the number of gold bars.

Ma Baifan reluctantly waved his hand.

Several servants directly placed the gold bars on the plate in front of the two of them.

And took this opportunity to say: "This is a small thank you gift from us for leaving the city. Please keep the two heroes private!"

Looking at the noble gold and silver in front of me.

Wang Er's pockmarked face was a little stiff.

Subconsciously, he looked back at Li Yueming.

He wouldn't dare to handle such a large sum of money privately.

Li Yueming was silent for a long time.

A pair of indifferent eyes stared at Ma Baifan for a long time.

Finally he smiled and said: "In that case, thank you City Lord for your kindness!"

Hear him agree.

Wang Ermazi hurriedly put away the two heavy boxes of treasures.

Ma Baifan's face twitched again.

After a long while, he forced out a smile and said: "Master Warrior, in order to thank you for your contribution to our Ligang City, why don't you stay for a celebration banquet before leaving? You have also seen that between Ligang City and Qingdu Port

The pipeline in between is very crowded with pedestrians in the morning, so it won’t be a problem if you leave at night!”

Li Yueming glanced at the skyline where the rising sun had already risen and shook his head and said: "To be honest, I have something important to do right now, and it is really inconvenient to stay for a long time! Why don't you come back and talk to the adults after you go to Qingdu Port to finish your business?"

Ma Baifan thought for a moment but didn't force it.

Instead, he turned around and waved his hand and said: "Come here, draw up a document for me!"

Under the watchful eyes of Li Yueming and Wang Ermazi.

Several soldiers brought a piece of heavy yellow paper over.

Ma Baifan took the pen and paper and wrote a customs clearance document on the spot.

And stamped with the official seal at the end.

After the ink was dry, he handed it to Li Yueming and said: "Since you have something important to do, I won't bother you! This is a customs clearance document. With this document, you can enter Qingdu Port without queuing.

, if you need anything, you can also report it to the Qingdu Port officials!"

Li Yueming smiled, took the document and said politely: "Your Excellency is really a good official who is dedicated to the people. I believe that with you here, the lives of the people of Ligang City will surely become more prosperous!"

The city lord was also smiling.

After he took the document, he continued to explain: "With this document, you can go into Qingdu Port and tell me Ma Baifan's name directly!"

Li Yueming naturally nodded repeatedly, and the smile on his face never stopped.

…

Ma Baifan gave me a warm welcome all the way.

The three of them finally left Hong Kong City.

Looking at the still tall and solid city wall behind me, it continues to disappear from sight.

Wang Erpazi scratched his head and said: "This City Lord Ma is so generous? He is sending money and documents... It makes me feel embarrassed!"

Li Yueming said with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Wang Ermazi thought for a long time.

Finally he shook his head: "I feel a little weird..."

Li Yueming was happy when he heard this, shook his head and said: "If this guy was really a good official, his head would have been hung on the city wall by now!"

Hear the words.

Wang Ermazi didn't understand it at first.

After thinking about it for a while.

Finally he suddenly realized: "Yes, how could this guy be a good official? He must have bad intentions by giving us so many things!"

Ligang City is still under the government's control in name only.

But in fact, the government's rule here has long existed in name only.

In this case, Ma Baifan served as the city lord of Departure City.
