The other side!
In the residence of Xiao Chengchang, the prefect of Qingliu County!
I saw Zhang Qingsong and his son Zhang Wenwu sitting together with the prefect and drinking tea.
Although Zhang Wenwu is a junior, Xiao Chengchang also looks at him differently because he is valued by Qin Jiujian, the governor of Da Cangwu Mansion and is his last disciple.
At this time, Xiao Chengchang took out a thick stack of silver bills and a mustard seed bag.
The face value of each of those silver notes was one hundred thousand taels.
There are a total of fifty of them.
It was Liang Zhubu, a subordinate of Xiao Chengchang, who had just collected the "compensation tax" from Chu Zhatian today.
"Master Zhang, Master Zhang, here are the five thousand taels of silver I asked for you, plus seventeen million spirit stones."
"Please keep it."
Xiao Chengchang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingsong quickly stood up, bowed to the other party, and said with deep fear, "Sir Xiao, please help us vent our anger. We will be grateful to you. This compensation tax should naturally be deposited into the county government treasury."
Zhang Wenwu also nodded: "Please accept it, Your Excellency!"
"Hahaha, you're too polite!"
"How about this, I'll take 10 million in banknotes and 1 million in spirit stones."
Xiao Chengchang said with a smile, and seemed very satisfied with the expression of Zhang and his son.
"Well then! Your Excellency's magnanimity and bearing are truly awe-inspiring."
Zhang Qingsong immediately flattered him and went over to him.
Xiao Chengchang waved his hand, then changed his tone and said, "By the way, at the auction held by Chao Tianrui tomorrow, I must get the demon pill of the ten thousand year old ginseng demon.
I personally have some spirit stones and silver notes, but I'm worried that they may not be enough.
If you need anything, I hope Master Zhang can help you!"
As the prefect of Qingliu County, Xiao Chengchang can be considered half a "civil servant", but in fact he is also a powerful cultivator.
His strength was stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.
Ginseng, a natural treasure, naturally develops spirituality as it ages.
After transforming into a ginseng demon, its demon pill broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and became an exquisite spiritual object.
So this time, Xiao Chengchang was determined to get the demon pill.
Hearing this, Zhang Qingsong's expression froze for a moment. Then, he forced a smile and said, "Very good, very good! I will fully support you, sir, and win that demon pill."
"Um!"
"Then I'll leave it to Master Zhang!"
"Speaking of which, it's all because of that bastard Chao Tianrui, who is selfish and overbearing. He actually pocketed all the things he seized and even auctioned them off for a profit.
This is simply outrageous!
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have bothered Master Zhang."
"hehe……"
Xiao Chengchang complained.
As the prefect of Qingliu County, Chao Tianrui led an army of 100,000 called the "Blue Wolf Army".
Among them, there are many powerful monks!
In recent years, the entire Da Cang Dynasty has been in turmoil, and rebellions have been brewing everywhere.
The same is true in Qingliu County.
Therefore, the county magistrate Chao Tianrui led the Qinglang Army to fight for years.
While there were inevitable casualties, the Blue Wolf Army grew stronger and stronger, and also seized an unknown amount of resources and even rare treasures.
In fact, according to the rules of the Da Cang Dynasty, these seized cultivation resources and treasures should be handed over by local county governors to the "Dacang Martial Palace" in various places and stored in the Da Cang Arsenal.
It is worth mentioning that the Da Cangwu Mansion in Qingliu County and the prefect Xiao Chengchang are tied together.
He competed with Chao Tianrui, the county magistrate who had a large army under his command.
If County Magistrate Chao really handed over these resources to the Da Cang Wu Mansion, perhaps Xiao Chengchang would be able to get the "Ten Thousand Years Ginseng Demon" demon pill without any effort.
Now, it costs a huge price to auction it.
Next, Zhang and his son exchanged some hypocritical pleasantries with the prefect and then left his mansion.
After getting out and onto the carriage, Zhang Wenwu snorted coldly.
"Xiao Chengchang is simply a ruthless bandit!"
"This demon pill can help a Jindan strongman break through to the Yuanying stage. It will definitely be worth a fortune by then."
"Xiao Chengchang has taken ten million silver notes and one million spirit stones from us, and it's not enough. He actually wants our Zhang family to help him bid for the demon pill tomorrow.
After all this, I'm afraid it would be better to give him all 50 million."
Zhang Qingsong's face was also gloomy. Finally, he sighed and said, "What can we do? As long as our Zhang family is in Qingliu County, we have to rely on Xiao Chengchang.
Forget it, just consider it a loss to avoid disaster!"
Zhang Wenwu said bitterly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked this bandit to help me deal with Chu Zhaitian."
"Okay, stop talking!"
When Zhang Qingsong heard his son mention this, he suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.
That’s right!
This time, it was Zhang Qingsong who took the initiative to seek help from Xiao Fuyin, in order to disgust Chu Zhatian.
Before the eldest son's master Qin Jiujian comes out of seclusion, he will teach Chu Zhaitian a lesson and collect some interest.
Of course, he was also prepared to give a portion of it as a tribute to the prefect.
But he never expected that the other party not only asked for 10 million and 1 million spirit stones, but also asked to help him auction it.
For Zhang and his son, this is undoubtedly shooting themselves in the foot.
He wanted to disgust Chu Zhatian, but ended up disgusting himself.
By then, the 50 million silver notes and 1.7 million spirit stones that were retrieved from Chu Zhatian might not be enough.
What the hell is going on?
The more Zhang Qingsong and Zhang Wenwu thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt.
