Chapter 56: Strategy against Water Bandits

"The county government also issued a document offering a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for suppressing the pirates."

Wu San Tong shuddered in his heart, his eyes changed from surprise to fear, and then from fear to expectation. After thinking about it, he slapped his thigh.

"Well, in that case, I'll get you the kerosene and pine resin."
