The landlord who was released by Xu Xiaoyi rode his horse back to Shougong County at an extremely fast speed. He swore that he had never whipped a horse so hard to speed up in his life.
He returned to his home and originally wanted to drink some water to relax, but when he saw the dilapidated state of his house, he was a little bit unbelievable. He looked around and found that there was no intact place. It was even more dilapidated than a beggar's den!
I was only gone for less than a day! How could this happen? My purple bamboo was dug up and taken away, even though I spent so much money on it! The rockery I spent so much money on was smashed open!
"Master, why are you back?" A servant saw their master and shouted in surprise. Wasn't the master still in the hands of that devil? Why did he come back?
"What's going on? What happened? Tell me!" The landlord pointed at the destroyed things and roared:
"Master, we were robbed by those bandits in Fengyang County! Not only our family, but also your friends, anyone who was involved in the sale of land in Fengyang County, had their homes completely looted. Those bandits are absolutely ruthless! They even packed up your Wangcai and took away!"
"What? Even my beloved Wangcai was stolen! People from Fengyang County? They actually came to rob me at such a critical moment! How can I get ten thousand taels?" The landlord took a few steps back weakly and fell against the wall! He slapped his thigh angrily and said:
"Won't you report it to the police? Won't you try to stop it? What's the point of keeping you around? So many people are just eating for free!"
"Master, we were taken away by Changfu. He said he would take us to rescue you, so we set off without thinking, leaving only a few people behind to look after the house.
After arriving, County Magistrate He realized that the other side's subordinates were too powerful, so he decided to come back to raise money to rescue you. After returning home, he found that it was completely destroyed and everything was stolen. We immediately rushed to report it to the authorities! But who would have thought that even the County Magistrate's Mansion was robbed and the County Government Office was smashed to pieces!
"What? Even the county magistrate's mansion was robbed?
No! Now is not the time to discuss this. There is no time. Come with me and find all the certificates for all the properties, restaurants, and shops. They are all in the store. I want to use them as collateral at the bank! We must hurry up and raise 10,000 taels to go back and save people!
"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

(illustrate)
Shougong County's economic development is far more prosperous and luxurious than its neighbor Xiqing County. Xiqing County relies mainly on farming, and basically people live there. There are few shops, and there are no restaurants or money houses.
Basically, they relied on merchants and the outside world to resell goods back and forth to make a living. So when Xiqing County encountered drought and bandits, these landlords quickly fled to Shougong County to live. Xiqing County soon could not hold on and quickly became a dead county!
…
The landlord then found Changfu. His home was as miserable as his own. He looked down and found Changfu lying on the ground that had been dug up beyond recognition, with a look of despair on his face.
"Changfu! What are you doing? You still have the nerve to lie here and rest! It's all your fault for threatening that county magistrate! You indirectly caused the death of your second uncle! Now hurry up and bring proof of your property with me to the bank to mortgage and borrow money to save him!"
"Why are you back? What? Second uncle is dead?"
"I don't have time to talk to you anymore. If you don't hurry up and get the money together, more people will die!"
"Okay! I'll go find it right away!"
That's it! The landlord and Changfu obtained all the property certificates of the group and took them to the local bank. In the end, after much persuasion, they only managed to get a little over 5,000 taels of silver. This was already an extra payment from the bank for their sake.
In the end, the amount was still far from ten thousand taels. They had nothing to pay for it. Their good friends also disappeared at this time. With no other choice, they came up with a bad idea and planned to hide the truth.
The two of them came to Xiqing County again!
"Sir, we have brought the money!"
The two of them, accompanied by some servants and a few carriages, stopped at the newly built gate of the county magistrate's mansion and shouted:
With cold sweat on their foreheads, they looked at the newly built gate in front of them with fear. Both doors had huge iron spikes, and there was even a large wooden sculpture of the dog county magistrate next to the door. Coupled with the dark and windy night atmosphere, the scene in front of them made people feel that this was the gate to hell.
Crunch...
The door was slowly opened, and Xu Xiaoyi appeared in front of them with a kind expression on his face. Changfu and the landlord got goosebumps when they saw the other party's handsome and gentle appearance.
But why is one side of his cheek red? Even this idiot county magistrate could be beaten? Is there anyone in this world who can defeat him?
"Oh~ You're back! You must have been tired from the journey. Come in and have a drink~"
“….No need! No need! Sir, we have brought all the money, you can prepare to release the people now!” After the landlord said this, the group of servants opened the boxes on the carriage one by one. Looking through the dim light of the torches, they saw a lot of white silver and countless coins in those boxes.
After seeing this, Xu Xiaoyi did not show any other expression, but continued to put on a poker face and invited them.
[It was detected that the other party only had five thousand taels of cash, and the money under the box was fake! ]
Xu Xiaoyi saw the screen prompt in the air in front of him, but he didn't show any strange expression. Instead, he felt it was natural. Because Xi Xiao had even stolen the dogs from the landlords, it was strange that they could still come up with 10,000 taels. He continued to speak gently to the two of them:
