"Ah! One thousand taels is just the introduction fee? Another five thousand taels is required for help? Then why didn't you say it at the beginning?" Hemushan was a little "angry".
"How dare you be so rude in front of the county magistrate." The county lieutenant immediately scolded Hemushan.
Hemushan pretended to be frightened.
At this time, the county magistrate said to Hemushan calmly: "He Daxuan, right! Your current situation is either you pay me five thousand taels of silver, or you wait to be beheaded."
So, he prepared to leave immediately.
Seeing this, the county lieutenant ordered several officers: "Come here, take He Daxuan to the prison and let him have a taste of the eighteen kinds of torture instruments in our prison."
After hearing this, several officers immediately wanted to grab Hemushan and take him away.
"Wait a moment."
Hemushan shouted quickly.
Seeing that all eyes were on him, He Mushan continued, "I am willing to take another 5,000 taels of silver, and I only ask you to let me go as soon as possible."
Hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
At this time, the county magistrate who was about to leave also came back. "Very good, wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier?"
"How are you going to pay the five thousand taels of silver?"
"The banknote is on me. I'll give it to you."
As He Mushan spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a stack of silver bills from his chest.
The county lieutenant quickly took the banknote, counted it and found that it was indeed five thousand taels.
Then he quickly handed it to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate took a look at it, and then his face turned serious: "This banknote is fake. You are such a bad citizen, you actually used a fake banknote to fool me. All of you, search him and I will see how many fake banknotes he has."
After saying this, he winked at several officers.
Soon, several officers captured Hemushan again and started searching him.
"My Lord, the banknotes I have are all real. They are all real."
Hemushan "resisted" and made excuses at the same time.
Several officers searched Hemushan thoroughly but found no other banknotes.
"This banknote is fake. If you want to live, you must hand over another 5,000 taels of real banknote. Otherwise, there is only one outcome for you, and that is beheading." The county magistrate threatened Hemushan.
"My banknotes are real. If you don't believe me, just return them to me and I will exchange them for silver and send them to you." Hemushan said to the county magistrate.
"This is a fake banknote. Do you know what crime it is to use a fake banknote privately? If investigated, it is a capital crime..."
"So, if you want to survive, you should find a way to get another 5,000 taels of silver."
Hearing this, Hemushan was speechless.
After thinking for a while, he said to the county magistrate: "Well, then I will take another 5,000 taels of silver notes, and I promise it will be real this time."
So, Hemushan reached out to him again.
The next moment, a stack of silver bills appeared in Hemushan's hands again.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened.
After a moment's pause, the county lieutenant quickly snatched the banknotes from Hemu Mountain, then winked at several runners.
When several officers saw the county lieutenant's look, they quickly captured Hemushan again and beat him to death again.
What's more, some people are ready to strip Hemushan of his clothes.
“That’s too much!”
Hemushan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The next moment, a token appeared in his arms.
An officer reached out to Hemushan's chest and touched the token.
After touching the token, he quickly took it out.
After taking out the token, he took a look at it and was stunned.
"What is this?"
Seeing this scene, the county lieutenant quickly snatched the token from the officer.
He took the token and looked at it.
Then, he was also dumbfounded, and then, he couldn't help but his body went limp and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, he looked towards Hemu Mountain with eyes full of fear.
"What's going on?" When the county magistrate saw this scene, he hurried forward and snatched the token.
The next moment, when he saw the words on the token, he was completely shocked.
There was only one line of words written on the token - Order from the Commander of the Imperial Guards!
So, the young man in front of him is the commander of the Imperial Guards?
At this moment, the county magistrate was covered in cold sweat and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Several other officers who were working on the slimming operation at Hemu Mountain stopped searching the county lieutenant and the magistrate immediately after seeing their appearance.
It is obvious that the fact that the county lieutenant and the county magistrate could behave like this shows that the young man in front of them is of very high status.
Seeing this scene, Hemushan showed a smile.
This token was given to him by Emperor Dong Muyuncang, who said that if he encountered trouble within the empire and it was inconvenient to show his magic, this token would be very useful.
Originally, Dong Muyuncang gave him a token that sounded like the emperor himself was present.
However, Dong Muyuncang was afraid that some low-level officials of the empire would not understand it, so he replaced it with the token of the commander of the Blue Guard.
The Qingyi Guard is a famous organization in the Great Min Empire. Everyone is aware of the Qingyi Guard. Therefore, when facing ordinary people, the Qingyi Guard commander's token is definitely more useful than the "I am present in person" token.
From the attitudes of the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, it can be seen that they were both frightened.
They have blackmailed the commander of the Blue Uniform Guards. It's like an old man eating arsenic and dying.
However, the smile on Hemushan's lips did not last for more than three seconds before it turned into astonishment.
The county magistrate shouted at the officers, "This unruly man dared to attack me. I order you to capture him and execute him on the spot."
