Chapter 331 He saw my belly button
Ximen He took a carriage and entered the county magistrate's office through the back door.
Seeing Ximen He coming in such a hurry, Zou Zhengze hurriedly led Ximen He to the living room.
Ximen He opened his mouth and said, "County Magistrate, I came here to borrow someone from you."
Zou Zhengze was stunned for a moment, then finally laughed: "Master Ximen, you must be joking. With Master Ximen's strength in Yanggu County, do you still need to borrow people from me?"
"Moreover, all the reliable people in the county government have been called out by County Lieutenant Ximen. Now their bodies are lying in the charity cemetery."
Ximen He naturally knew the other party's intention.
However, he did not respond to his words, but continued: "County Magistrate, we have been friends for many years."
"I, Ximen He, am not going to mince words now. I know that the Li family has always had dealings with you."
"At the same time, they also hid an elite private army here, numbering about 200 people."
"Although it's not much, it's more than enough to kill me, confiscate my property, and seize my mansion."
Ximen He's words shocked Zou Zhengze!
He didn't expect that such a private matter was known by Ximen He!
Seeing Zou Zhengze's expression, Ximen He laughed heartily and said, "County Magistrate, are you underestimating me, Ximen He?"
"Actually, I know everything about the deal between you and the Li family!"
"It's just that I haven't said it explicitly until now. After all, I also want to be on good terms with the Li family and make money from them, right?"
Zou Zhengze hesitated for a moment and then let out a long sigh.
He first bowed to Ximen He and said, "Master Ximen is indeed a hero. Now you know all about my family background."
"I wonder what Master Ximen will do?"
Ximen He quickly stood up from his chair, walked up to Zou Zhengze, and said in a calm voice, "I want you to bring all two hundred people out. Tomorrow afternoon, I will prepare 500,000 taels of silver and trade with those bandits in the suburbs!"
"Once they all come out of the lime mine, I will arrange your men to attack from both sides and strangle them all!"
"Before that, I will give your people some farewell wine, and at the same time, I will secretly give them an extra 100 taels of silver each!"
As he spoke, Ximen He took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zou Zhengze.
Zou Zhengze took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed!
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!?"
Zou Zhengze's hands were shaking as he held such a large sum of silver bills.
Ximen He laughed heartily and said, "County Magistrate, you and I have been on the same boat for a long time."
"I have many ways to make money, but as a person, I always have bad luck sometimes. But as the saying goes, man can conquer nature, and money can make the world go round!"
"I have plenty of money! These two hundred thousand taels of silver are just a reward! As long as you kill all these bandits, I will give you another two hundred thousand!"
Zou Zhengze laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, since Master Ximen said this, I won't be so formal with you!"
"These 200 people from the Li family came under my command two years ago."
"These people are all their house slaves. Although they are slaves raised by the Li family, as the saying goes, the emperor is far away. Now, the influence of the Li family in our Yanggu County has been almost eliminated by Master Ximen."
"As long as Master Ximen is here, they won't be able to get involved."
"So, in the past few days, I have already persuaded them to rebel!"
"Master Ximen, don't worry. Just say the word, and this time, we will definitely wipe out all these bandits!"
……
at the same time.
In a teahouse across the street from Han Bai's house.
Wei Hongshao and Liu Yulan were sitting face to face.
Wei Hongshao had a cold face at this time, staring straight at Liu Yulan.
As for Liu Yulan, she lowered her head like a little girl who had done something wrong, not daring to look her in the eye.
Wei Hongshao suddenly slammed her hands on the table with a "bang", and then half of her body leaned forward.
Her graceful figure, whether viewed from the front or from behind, always makes people imagine.
Wei Hongshao said to Liu Yulan, "Liu Yulan, we two are from the same nest and have been sisters for decades!"
"You tell me such a lie, do you think I will believe it?"
"Also, I know you from head to toe, front to back, inside and out. Every time you lie, you put your feet together and secretly pick your fingernails!"
After hearing what Wei Hongshao said, Liu Yulan immediately let go of her hand and rubbed it on her clothes.
She slowly raised her head, slightly shrinking her neck, and revealed a slightly flattering smile.
She said to Wei Hongshao, "Sister, please, stop talking. I won't tell you even if you ask me more."
"What do you dare not say? What is there that you dare not say?" Wei Hongshao scolded.
"Didn't I just ask you what happened after I fainted?"
"Why are you hesitating like that?"
Liu Yulan laughed awkwardly and said, "No, no, nothing happened!"
"It's not just you. Nothing bad happened to those twenty girls either."
Wei Hongshao was immediately amused by Liu Yulan in front of her. She slapped her tender white hands on the table several times.
"Do you think I'm a fool? It's obvious that we were tricked by Ximen He!"
"That bastard drugged the wine! But after waking up, you told me nothing happened. Do you think I would believe that?"
"Also, why did you suddenly decide to matchmake those twenty girls? Who are they and what their background is? Why didn't you tell me first?"
"You said we have to wait until tomorrow is over. So tell me, why do we have to wait until tomorrow is over? Is there something big going to happen tomorrow?"
Liu Yulan felt more and more guilty and didn't even have the confidence to speak.
"No, nothing. Nothing happened."
"Just wait, you'll know tomorrow."
Wei Hongshao rolled up her sleeves and said seriously, "No! I'm telling you, I have to know now! Immediately! Right away!"
Wei Hongshao was a very particular person, and that was why she rarely made the wrong match after she became a matchmaker.
Moreover, compared to Liu Yulan, Wei Hongshao is much smarter.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to play those men at her fingertips during the ten years in the brothel.
But I have always remained a virgin.
Compared to Liu Yulan, she can be said to have suffered a lot. If she didn't have a good sister like herself to cover for her, she would have been cheated of all her money by some cheap man and then sold to those stinky beggars!
The most important thing is that Wei Hongshao had already moved in front of Liu Yulan.
She said, "There's one thing I haven't told you yet. When I woke up, my whole body felt sore and uncomfortable!"
"I always feel like I was beaten, but there are no injuries on my body. So tell me, what happened?"
"If you don't tell me, I won't be angry with you!"
"Instead, I'm going to sever the twenty years of sisterhood between you and me!"
How could Liu Yulan be better than Wei Hongshao!
After hearing what Wei Hongshao said, she suddenly became really anxious.
In fact, the main reason why Liu Yulan kept her mouth shut was because of Han Zhuo's instructions.
When Han Zhuo sent someone to bring Liu Yulan and the others back, he specifically told Liu Yulan that this matter must not be told to anyone, at least not before sunset tomorrow.
Liu Yulan already had great respect for Han Zhuo, and now that she knew that Han Zhuo was actually a general of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, she wanted to stick to Han Zhuo!
Even though she knew she didn't have that blessing or the means, for her, as long as she could get even a little benefit from Han Zhuo, her life would be worth it!
Therefore, she also acted out of character and showed unprecedented firmness in front of Wei Hongshao.
She was afraid that she would say it out loud, so she covered her mouth with her hands.
Wei Hongshao became even more anxious when she saw her like this.
She pointed at Liu Yulan and said, "You won't tell me, right?"
"Okay, very good!"
"Then our sisterhood is over!"
Seeing Wei Hongshao's determination, Liu Yulan quickly grabbed Wei Hongshao's hand and said to her with a pleading look, "Oh, dear sister, dear sister, please, don't do this!"
"You have nothing to lose anyway. Just wait a little longer, one more day. You'll know by tomorrow night."
Seeing her like this, Wei Hongshao snorted coldly, "What do you mean by no loss?"
