The young man on horseback rushed back half an hour later, handed over the old horse, and walked to Xu Mu's side with a serious look on his face.
"My boss, I've spoken to the Tian official and I'll enter the city now."
Xu Mu nodded and asked the middle-aged Wu Xing to get in the car and start driving towards Weicheng.
The rain in the sky has not stopped, and the dirt road on the official road is still muddy, and the wheels of the carriages splashed pieces of clay. Fortunately, the road was clear, and soon after, six or seven carriages finally entered Weicheng.
"Please stay here for a moment, I'll go to the official office first."
The middle-aged Wu Xing nodded, he admired the little boss in front of him.
After letting Si Hu carry three heads of luggage, Xu Mu walked quietly to Guanfang. Tian Song, who was waiting outside Guanfang Street, was pacing anxiously, but when he saw Xu Mu approaching, he winked hastily.
Xu Mu continued to walk inside.
At this time, there were not many people in the huge official hall. A substitute clerk raised his head in astonishment and looked at Xu Mu in front of him.
"Visitor from afar, is there anything going on at the official residence?"
"Hand in."
Xu Mu was a little relieved. After all, the clerk in front of him was not tainted with a black heart and lungs. At least he still knew etiquette.
"When is the list?" The clerk hurriedly brought the file.
"Three days ago, the killing list in Horseshoe Lake."
The clerk looked up again in shock, and his face turned slightly pale. Si Hu, who was nearby, took advantage of this opportunity to unpack the three ladles on the head, and the smell of blood spread for a while.
The clerk vomited twice and finally regained his composure.
"Don't worry, there are portraits in the official archives. You can compare them."
He told the junior official not to be anxious, but Xu Mu was actually very anxious, fearing that the old official would suddenly come back.
"Wait a moment."
The clerk hurriedly flipped through the files. When he found it, he hurriedly picked up the wooden ruler, brushed away the tangled hair on his head, endured vomiting, and compared it carefully.
"Visitor from afar, please, please hand over the dental plaque and the notarization of the announcement."
Xu Mu took them out one by one.
At this time, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the side. When Xu Mu looked up, he realized that the fat official who had kicked Tian Song before had already approached in boredom.
Xu Mu frowned for a moment. If something happened at this time, he would scold his mother.
"Have you handed in the killing list?" The fat official was also shocked. He kept going back and forth, but after only a few days, he actually handed in the killing list.
"Brother Mu'er, I have identified the heads. I have identified them correctly!" The clerk turned around and looked at the official.
"That's correct." The fat official narrowed his eyes, "It's really remarkable. I wonder what my little boss is planning to get as a reward after submitting the results."
"Of course it costs two hundred taels of silver." Xu Mu said calmly.
Si Hu, who was standing by, was stunned, thinking that his brother Mu had suddenly lost his mind. In desperation, he reached out and slapped Xu Mu on the head.
Xu Mu turned around and glared, then stepped back in shock.
"No." The fat official's foxy eyes narrowed even more, "Two hundred taels means that you have to bring back the heads of all the old bandits."
"What should we do?"
"How about this? I'll give you five notarized weapons, or the notarized land deed of Horseshoe Lake. Ah, I'm sorry, I just remembered that there are no more notarized weapons. A dozen of them were taken away yesterday. If I want them again, just
Wait until you go to Changyang to apply."
I can go to your uncle's house.
Xu Mu sneered in his heart, these gang of official servants clearly wanted to take a big share of the killing list.
"We can only notarize the title deed of Horse Ti Lake." The fat official smiled lightly.
"Congratulations to the little boss, this notarized land deed is not available to anyone else who wants to buy it."
Xu Mu's face was full of anger, looking like a resentful person.
"Hurry up and register it in the register."
The clerk nodded hurriedly, hands trembling, and began to register seriously.
This new round of land deeds will not be like the old wine shop in Tangjiang City, where there will be any talk of an old friend taking over the winery.
It only needs to be entered in the register, and it will be completely counted as Xu Mu's private property. Of course, if the Great Ji Dynasty collapses, it will be another matter.
"Two copies, my little boss, take one, please hold it steady." The fat official smiled.
"Hold on." Xu Mu also smiled, which made the fat official opposite him stunned for a moment, as if he was the one who was the culprit.
With the notarized land deed in hand, Xu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, even if the old official came back, there was nothing he could do.
"By the way, when we suppressed the bandits earlier, we recovered a lot of weapons, robes, and armor, and there are twelve trapped women who will be sent to them later."
Xu Mu pushed back. Si Hu, who was still stunned, scratched his hair twice and hurried out.
Soon, those martial artists drove their carriages and helped throw a large pile of weapons, robes, and armor into the official workshop.
More than a dozen sobbing miserable women kowtowed to Xu Mu and hurried into the official residence.
"I heard that if you turn in your weapons, you will be rewarded separately."
The fat official had long been too lazy to listen to what Xu Mu was saying. This round, the harvest of the official office was even more gratifying. Even these women were considered to be quite a feat.
"The notarization of the five weapons will be done together for him."
The clerk paused, hurriedly wrote, took out another notarization, and handed it to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu was very satisfied. The notarization of the five weapons was an additional gain. When the time came, he only needed to hold the notarization and go to the iron shop to purchase or rebuild them, and there would be no problem.
"Then take your leave."
"Little boss, it's easy to talk about." The current fat official couldn't care about Xu Mu.
Walking out of the official house, Xu Mu and Tian Song, who had been waiting outside for a long time, exchanged glances, and the two of them laughed in the rain in unison.
…
After lighting a stick of incense, the old official picked up his trousers and walked into the official residence exhausted. God knows what happened today, but his stomach was churning all the time.
After driving the junior official away, the old official just sat down and opened the new record file in front of him, and his whole face suddenly turned pale.
"Why, what? The little boss named Xu Mu came back to hand in the results?"
"I handed it over. The heads of the three old gangsters are all fine. I also sent back a lot of weapons from the old gangsters, as well as twelve robbed women."
"So, you just notarized the land deed and notarized five weapons? Oh, I understand, you know shit, you guys know shit!"
The old official kept chattering, "I'm angry! I'm angry!"
"You only handed over your weapons, robes and armor? You really killed so many old gangsters, why didn't you get any stolen money?"
The fat official next to him only remembered this incident. At that time, the little boss wanted to kill the list, but no one thought he could succeed.
How can I imagine so many things in one moment?
"Li Wei, is there really stolen money?"
"Ask me, who should I ask! This must be investigated!" The old official cursed twice more, but found that his stomach hurt again, and the inexplicable stench spread, scaring the old official and kicking his chair in a hurry
, holding her butt and running towards the latrine again.
…
"I gave the laxative, the dose of two cows." Outside Weicheng, Tian Song said with a faint smile, "That Wei official is not as good as Old Man Chen, I'm a little angry."
Xu Mu suddenly felt very reluctant to leave.
I was given two hundred taels just now, but Tian Song still didn't accept it and only took five taels.
"Master Xu, do I still look like a dirty person?"
"It's already very clean."
Tian Song stood in the rain and laughed happily.
Si Hu started to move. The newly purchased old carriage was finally a bit unused, and the two wheels made deep and shallow marks on the muddy road.
"My little boss, I often think that it was a happy thing to stay in Wangzhou and follow Old Man Chen to die for his country."
"The storyteller in Wangzhou Theater said in a pretentious way that he would rather be a dog in peace than a traveler in troubled times."
"Life is hard!"
On the carriage, Xu Mu closed his eyes in silence. In this round of human life, the more he wants to be innocent, the harder his life will be.
