When they met Yue Su's eyes again, everyone in the seats felt a little frightened, and the timid ones even fell down on their chairs.

It is true to say that one should not be kind for the sake of wealth, especially in those days, the rich were more or less involved in some of the illegal activities in the fish and meat village. Now Yue Su had done four more in the blink of an eye, the lightest.

They were all searching for homes and beheadings. When these people saw Yue Su looking at them, they were not afraid of their names being called out. God knows if Master Yue had anything to do with them.

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran up and loudly reported: "My lord, the princess wants to see you."

"Please come quickly!" Yue Su was tall and tall, and went to greet him personally.

The group of people sitting below were neither sitting nor standing, and I didn’t know whether I should follow them out to greet them. After all, there were so many policemen around, who would dare to act without authorization.

Before Yue Su could turn to the front, the princess had already entered the back office, followed by her maid Zhu'er, who held a tray with many jewelry in her hands. Behind her were more than a dozen guards, carrying three boxes.

Su Mingren looked at the seats above and asked Mu Tianjiao to take a seat. Then he asked: "I don't know why the princess is here. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. Please forgive me."

Mu Tianjiao smiled and said: "I heard that Master Yue convened the officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen under his rule to discuss the matter of funding the former enemy. My family, Mu, has been favored by the court, so I should do my best. Here are three thousand taels of silver, and some of my dowry.

I would like to donate the jewelry to help you buy food and fodder for military needs."

"The princess understands justice well, and I really admire it. But I really don't dare to accept the dowry jewelry. I hope the princess will take it back." Yue Su said with emotion.

"The governor's office has proposed thirty thousand shi of grain and thirty thousand taels of silver. Your Excellency does not want to exploit the people, so how can we raise so much in one time? It is a meager amount, but please do not refuse it," Mu Tianjiao said firmly.

"This..." Yue Su deliberately turned his head to look at the people sitting down, and said with emotion: "The princess's home is in Yunnan, and in order to donate the salary, she is willing to give out dowry jewelry. Everyone's home is in Guizhou, and the war is going on. If Master Wang

If the war is defeated, Tongren will inevitably be burned. Will your wealth be preserved by then? I am here to implore you to share the worries of the court and work for the benefit of the people of Guizhou..."

"Master Yue, I am willing to donate five hundred taels!" Before Yue Su could finish speaking, someone jumped up and expressed his willingness to donate.

After the first one, there was the second one, "Your Excellency, you are right. The princess lives in Kunming, so she can still donate to Guizhou, not to mention that we, the common people, are also willing to donate five hundred taels!"...

For a time, everyone expressed their opinions one after another. The least one was willing to donate three hundred taels, and the most was willing to donate one thousand taels.

It's not that they were moved by Yue Su's words, but that they were shocked by the scene just now. Now that the princess has arrived, Yue Su said those words again, which is obviously a step down for everyone. If you are willing to donate, we will stop everything.

, if you don’t donate, we will wait and see. These people are not fools, they still know how to spend money to buy peace, and they will donate generously.

Yue Su asked the administrative clerk to record everything one by one. Gu Min, the old magistrate of the county, unexpectedly brought all the money in cash, which was exactly half his salary for half a year. Sima Chen did not dare to pretend that his grandson had nothing. He saw the market and understood that Yue Su was trying to knock the mountain to scare the tiger at first, and then later

The princess moved out to smooth things over, and it won't work if everyone doesn't donate.

But this guy really didn't have much money, so he had to take the jade pendant from his waist and said, "Sir, I think I'm a fairly honest official, and I didn't bring much money with me this time. So, I'll donate this jade pendant."

This jade pendant is from the Song Dynasty and is worth two hundred taels in the market."

Yue Su had already checked this person's details and knew that he never accepted money and was considered clean. He said, "If Lord Sima has this intention, it is best. Register him with Lord Sima."

Sima Chen smiled calmly, handed the jade pendant to the book office, and registered his name. In fact, Yue Suzhen had no intention of accepting the money from him and Gu Min, but at this time, he could never say such things.

After a while, the registration office had completed the registration, and everyone in the congregation had donated a total of more than 21,300 taels of silver. Of course, the fraction was donated by Gu Min.

The other end had just finished his work when he suddenly saw Zhang Wei running over in a hurry. Yue Su saw it at a glance and immediately realized that something big was going on. He asked, "Zhang Wei, are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

"Sir, look..." Zhang Wei took out a sign from his pocket.

Yue Su took a look and saw that the sign was made of iron, with a blue dragon carved on it, and a knife stuck on the dragon's back. Isn't this the token of the Dragon Slayer Gang?

Yue Su grabbed it and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Zhang Wei whispered: "Li Chen and I just found out when we took Ma Han to the prison and took off his clothes to change into his prison clothes."

"Take Ma Han to me and take him to the back hall. I will interrogate him later."

"Yes, sir."

After seeing the token of the Dragon Slayer Gang, Yue Su was no longer in the mood to socialize with these people, so he sent Tongzhi, Gu Min, and Sima Chen to greet these rich people and arranged for the servants to come and collect the money after they were over.

After the meeting was over, Yue Su said that he was on official business, sent the princess away, and then went to the hall in the back office. With a "powerful" sound from the left and right, he brought the prisoner Ma Han to the hall.

Two officers kicked Ma Han on the knee. Ma Han immediately knelt down at the foot of the steps. Yue Su knocked on the gavel tree and shouted loudly: "Ma Han, I want to ask you, this piece of Dragon Slaying Gang belongs to

Where did you get the token?" After speaking, he raised the iron token on the koan.

The tokens of the Dragon Slayer Gang seem to be divided into levels, but Yue Su doesn't know how. He only knows that the tin tokens seem to be the lowest level, like Chen Weihan and Ge Zhi. The iron tokens are slightly higher.

For example, the two women who can cast poison are iron tokens. Now that Ma Han's token is also made of iron, Yue Su of course wants to ask him something about the Dragon Slayer Gang.

When Ma Han saw Yue Su asking about the token, he raised his head and smiled bitterly, saying sadly: "Sir, I know what you want to ask, but what you want to ask, I actually want to know too."

"Oh?" Yue Su was stunned and asked, "How do you know what I want to ask you?"

"If my guess is correct, you must want to ask me about the Dragon Slayer Gang... Haha..." Ma Han smiled bitterly again and said: "Sir, there is no need to ask more. Ma Han knows that he will be suspicious, so he will tell me

I will tell you the whole story. I was originally a poor scholar in Maqiao Town. Because I failed in many tests, I defected to Brother Hu, gained his respect, and became his think tank. The saying that the human heart is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant, just like me. In Hu

With the support of Brother Hu, I roped in some of my men and robbed a few mines. However, I was still Brother Hu’s man and made contributions to him every year. To be honest, Brother Hu treated me well and didn’t care about my few contributions.

, most of them were rewarded, and I was willing to be his subordinate. Until one day, a group of people found me, they were the Dragon Slaying Gang. After meeting with me, those people were very direct and expressed their willingness to help.

I captured the entire Tongyin Mountain, and I was also shown their strength, two to three hundred strong men holding swords and guns, each of them mighty. They said that if you are willing to cooperate, that would be the best. If you are not willing,

They can also find other people. Anyway, there are many people mining in Tongyin Mountain, but when they help others, they will become my enemies. Under coercion and inducement, I weighed the left and right, and finally compromised, using their strength, on both sides.

We captured the entire Tongyin Mountain within a year, and even killed Brother Tiger who was kind to me..."

At this point, Ma Han's tone became even more desolate, "I look very prosperous now, but in fact, I have everything, and I'm not even as happy as I was when I was under Brother Hu. Ninety percent of the income from Tongyin Mountain will be reduced."

It fell into their hands and was secretly transported away by them. The remaining 10% will be used to manage the government. You may not believe this, but when the army raids my home, you will know that I have no savings at home.

Brother Hu has a lot. I paid a lot and betrayed Brother Hu. In the end, what I got was just the iron plate. They didn’t tell me anything about the Dragon Slayer Gang. They just treated me as a puppet.

A tool that is held in front. I'm sorry, Brother Tiger. When I was just taken to the prison, I suddenly thought about everything. When a person is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, its cry is sad. I only hope that I can

Die quickly and kowtow three times to Brother Tiger under the Nine Springs."

After saying that, Ma Han started crying.

Yue Su above saw clearly and knew that Ma Han was showing his true feelings at this moment, and what he said should be true. So he said in a deep voice: "Ma Han, today you have found your way back from your lost way, and I am deeply relieved. I also want to ask you something.

, since you are just a puppet of the Dragon Slayer Gang, then who is the real person in charge of the Dragon Slayer Gang on Copper Seal Mountain?"

"That man's name is Cao Ge." Ma Han said truthfully.

"Cao Ge? I wonder what the characteristics of this man are?" Yue Su asked again.

"This man is powerful and has a purple face. He is very easy to recognize."

Purple face. Upon hearing this answer, Yue Su immediately remembered the purple-faced man he saw in the woods. It turned out that he was the real leader of the Dragon-Slaying Gang. "It seems that since Nie Gaochao's death, the Dragon-Slaying Gang has not

The whole thing collapsed, and the truth is just as I expected, there is another black hand behind Nie Gaochao." Thinking of this, Yue Su said loudly: "Zhang Wei, you immediately catch up with Tie Qiu and tell him to capture a man named Cao Ge.

That man has a purple face, so remember that."

"I obey my orders."

After Zhang Wei left, Yue Su knew that he would not be able to get anything useful out of Ma Han's mouth, so he basically said everything that needed to be said. He ordered him to be escorted back to the prison, and nothing would be said until Tie Qiu came back.

With the donations from wealthy households and the proceeds from house raids, Yue Su estimated that he would be able to complete his errand. However, the grain needed to be transported from Huguang and he wondered if he would be able to make it in time. He also asked Tong Zhou to urge the grain merchants and wait until evening to eat.

After dinner, he suddenly thought about whether he should also donate some to the court.

Gu Min donated half a year's salary, and Sima Chen donated a jade pendant. How much should he donate? To be honest, Yue Su's two salary donations would be a drop in the bucket, but he couldn't donate without his subordinates.

After thinking for a long time, I suddenly remembered that I had a jade pendant on me. I had won a bet with that young boy doing carpentry in Beijing, and I don't know how much it was worth.

"You should ask someone how much this jade pendant is worth. If it's not worth anything, wouldn't you make a fool of yourself?" Yue Su thought about it and felt that among the people in the family, Tong Zhou and Yin Zhu, needless to say, have never seen each other.

I guess I don’t know much about jade. Although my brother "Li Ying" and his nominal wife Ruan Aoyue are from wealthy families, their appreciation level is not much better than expected. Those who have really seen the big world must be Qinhuai Oiran.

Du Shiniang.
