Chapter 165 What do you want to do?

The officer obviously had no patience with Liu.

"What's there to discuss? If you want to go to a good village, show your sincerity."

Liu turned her head and looked in the direction of her family. Three adult men had died on the road to exile.

The rest are women and underage children.

She had carefully observed County Magistrate Cui when she came in.

Just from County Magistrate Cui's lazy glance, she knew that the latter was looking at a beautiful woman.

Speaking of beauties, there are actually two in the He family.

Her two sisters-in-law are twin sisters. They were spoiled by their mother-in-law since they were young. She only thought that when they grew up, they could be betrothed to a good family and add icing on the cake to the He family.

Now the two sisters-in-law are fifteen years old, which is the age when they are about to bloom.

The He family can't come up with the money, but as for the girls, if one isn't enough, we can give two.

These two girls are so weak and have been a burden to everyone along the way. Using them in exchange for the He family's future living environment can be considered as them doing their bit for the He family.

In order not to further anger the officials, Liu quickly returned to her home and pushed her two sisters-in-law out despite her mother-in-law's objection.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

The eldest daughter of the He family didn't know what her sister-in-law meant and asked unhappily.

Mrs. Liu smiled slyly: "Of course, I will find a place for you to eat well and wear warm clothes."

At this time, Mrs. He also reacted and hurried forward to stop it, but was stopped tightly by her second daughter-in-law and two little grandsons.

The second daughter-in-law of the He family had the same idea as Liu, and had long disliked her two sisters-in-law as a burden.

Now that the two of them are finally useful, she naturally can't let her mother-in-law ruin her good fortune.

Old Madam He was stopped, and because there were so many officials present, she did not dare to act too aggressively.

The two girls from the He family were dragged by Liu to the presence of County Magistrate Cui.

"Sir, County Magistrate, what do you think of our twin sisters?"

In order not to give County Magistrate Cui any chance to hesitate, Liu continued to lobby.

"Sir County Magistrate, don't look at them as thin now. That's because they were hungry on the road. As long as they eat a few good meals to replenish their body, they will become plump and beautiful in less than a month.

Also, they have been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were young. My Lord, you will never feel lonely with such a perfect couple by your side."

When County Magistrate Cui first glanced at the crowd, his main purpose was indeed to look at the women.

He did not fail to notice these two skinny girls.

He didn't think highly of them just because they were dressed in rags and had sallow complexions.

After hearing what Liu said, County Magistrate Cui looked at the two of them carefully again.

It’s really not bad. Although her skin is a little dark, her appearance is still okay.

Especially their similar appearance was indeed attractive to County Magistrate Cui.

The two girls from the He family resisted at first because they were pushed out for unknown reasons.

After hearing what Liu said, they knew clearly that their sister-in-law was planning to send them to the county magistrate.

Thinking about the hardships I have endured along the way, I may have to go to the countryside to continue suffering in the future.

In the end, she still ended up marrying a farmer.

Instead of living in the countryside all my life, I might as well follow the county magistrate in front of me. At least I won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Therefore, after sorting out their thoughts, the two of them did not continue to resist.

He even cooperated and let County Magistrate Cui take a look at him.

County Magistrate Cui was in a good mood at the moment.

"Well, these two girls are really good, so let them stay and serve me!"

As he spoke, he looked at the officers below him and said, "Come here, send the He family to Yongfeng Village for resettlement. Tell the village head there that these people were sent there by me personally."

Upon hearing this, all the members of the He family, except Old Madam He, immediately showed joy on their faces.

They even raised their chins and showed off their power towards the Mo family, the Fang family and the Xie family.

The He family left with the officials, and the two girls were temporarily settled by people sent by the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Cui is now waiting for the next person to come and curry favor with him.

Especially the Mo family, the women were all as beautiful as flowers, especially the one standing next to Mo Jiuye. Even though she was wearing a coarse linen dress, it couldn't hide her stunning figure.

For this reason, County Magistrate Cui even began to fantasize about holding a beautiful woman in his arms.

Unexpectedly, he stared for a long time but these families didn't speak.

County Magistrate Cui suddenly lost his patience.

"What do you want to do?"

The Xie family and the Fang family have made up their minds and will follow the Mo family in everything.

It was impossible to give their daughter to the county magistrate. If the Mohists were willing to spend money as a bribe, they would follow him even if they had to give up everything.

Therefore, they remained on the sidelines, waiting for the Mohists to make a decision.

Mo Chuhan has been enduring since he heard the first words from County Magistrate Cui.

He was a tall and strong man who had encountered countless monsters on the battlefield, but he was still disgusted by the face of County Magistrate Cui.

He strode forward and said, "You are just a small county magistrate, yet you dare to openly ask for bribes? Aren't you afraid that someone will report you and you will lose your position?"

If he didn't want to drag Peng Wang and his group into trouble, he would definitely write a letter on the spot and ask him to take it back to the capital.

The letter doesn't need to be given to any important person. Just giving it to any of his sister-in-law's family members will be enough to make County Magistrate Cui suffer.

Seeing someone had spoken her mind, Eighth Sister-in-law quickly stepped forward to join in the conversation: "That's right, you, a dignified official, are actually openly asking for bribes here. Once my Mo family is settled, I will definitely write to my relatives in the capital to expose your evil deeds."

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye were also very angry just now. If Mo Chuhan had not spoken first, they would have planned to deal with this damn county magistrate.

Seeing that the Mo family had already made their stance clear, the Fang and Xie families stepped forward to express their position.

"That's right. Although our Fang family is in decline, we still have some acquaintances in the capital. It's not a problem for us to punish a mere county magistrate like you."

"The Xie family has connections in the capital..."

County Magistrate Cui was so angry at these people that his face turned green.

He had been the county magistrate for so long that he believed he could keep these exiled prisoners under control.

Who would have thought that I would encounter trouble today...

He was so angry that he lost all his rationality and slammed the table and stood up.

"How dare you, a bunch of criminals exiled by the imperial court, show off your power before me. I think you don't want to live well."

As he said this, he planned to order people to capture them all and give them a good beating to let them know who is the boss here.

Just when County Magistrate Cui was about to take action, the official beside him hurried forward and whispered something to him.

I don’t know what the official said, but although County Magistrate Cui’s face still looked unhappy, he was not as excited as before.

Peng Wang sat aside and watched all this, feeling extremely anxious.

Seeing County Magistrate Cui sit down, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"County Magistrate Cui, calm down. We can discuss everything."

While speaking, he kept winking at Mo Jiuye, hoping that he could come out and say some soft words to calm the situation.
