On the Wujiang County official’s boat.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Mr. Zhao looked at County Magistrate Yi suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "How much do I raise do you agree to?"

"There are so many people watching me. No matter how much you add, it won't go into my pocket. Otherwise, why is he called Tofu Wujiang?" County Magistrate Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Just eat and drink."

"Oh, let's drink." Seeing that nothing he could persuade him would make him happy, Mr. Zhao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

"It's time to drink. Come on, let's drink."

"Well, let's do it." Mr. Zhao was having a bad start and started drinking to drown his sorrows.

Who knew that after just a few rounds of drinking, County Magistrate Yi regretted it...

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Shouzheng drank a few cups of horse urine, he completely liberated his nature. He stood up, stepped on the stool with one foot, pointed at him with one hand, and cursed drunkenly:

"Why did you, Wujiang, fence off East Taihu Lake and get 100,000 acres of fertile farmland out of thin air, but our Kunshan County suffers from floods every year, and the people have to beg for food? Tell me, is this fucking fair or not?!"

"Because our county is upstream and you are downstream." County Magistrate Yi was embarrassed to be scolded. "Because the successive county magistrates of our county have done their job well and worked together to build a hundred-mile stone embankment! This is how our county was saved from floods and became a land of fish and rice!"

"You are taking advantage of your neighbors. How immoral! Bah! How disgusting!" Master Zhao cursed like a fighting cock with his neck thick and face red.

"If you have the guts, build a stone pond and harm your neighbors?" County Magistrate Yi glared and retorted, "Even if it floods us, our county will never be like some other counties that complain like old women!"

"Okay, that's what you said!" Zhao Shouzheng slammed the table and glared at County Magistrate Yi.

"Yes, that's what I said! So what?!" County Magistrate Yi also slammed the table and stood up, looking up and glaring back at Master Zhao.

"Just because of what you said, this county will also build a 100-mile stone pond!" Zhao Shouzheng slammed the table again. "No, a 200-mile stone pond! When the time comes, I'll let you guys have a taste of what it's like to soak in the water for half a year!"

"Try it!" County Magistrate Yi pounded on the table, causing the cups to fall over. The wine flowed down the edge of the table, staining the precious Persian carpet. "I'm afraid you won't be able to repair it in a hundred years!"

"That's because you have no idea about my son's strength!" Zhao Shouzheng kicked over the stool and turned away.

"Uh, what?" County Magistrate Yi was a little confused. What do you mean by my power over his son? Is this an insult?

~~

Xishan Island, a wide open space west of Yuanshan.

The petite Xiao Yun'er had a tense face... well, a sad face. She held a pistol in each hand.

There was a loaded gun in the cowhide gun pouch hanging on their waists.

This time it's live ammunition, and the hammer is already cocked, ready to fire.

Zhao Hao stood behind her, staring at the girl with the gun with anticipation, not wanting to miss the exciting scene of her hands shooting.

Miss Jiang at the side gently tugged at his sleeve. Confused, Zhao Hao followed Jiang Xueying to a big tree nearby.

"Brother, be careful. It would be bad if you get shot..." She said in a mosquito-like voice, "This move of 'Four-handed Guanyin' can sometimes become 'shooting at random'."

"Oh, so that's it." Zhao Hao couldn't help but worry about the little girl, and hurriedly called for her to stop, "Then forget it, let's practice it a little more."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yun'er nodded vigorously as if she had been pardoned. She suddenly felt that Master Zhao was a master who was more gentle than the young lady.

"Then you should practice well in the future." Miss Jiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and naturally followed suit.

"Thank you, miss." Xiao Yuner jumped up happily holding the gun.

"Shoot all the bullets first..." Miss Jiang quickly reminded her.

But it was still a step too late. With a bang, Xiao Yun'er's left hand finger accidentally pulled the trigger!

The lead bullet shot into the sky and hit a passing crow. It was not known whether it was the one that had once laughed at Master Zhao.

But it wasn't over yet. Xiaoyun's left side was lifted by the recoil, and his right hand involuntarily raised up, and he fired another shot...

The lead bullet instantly hit the tree where Zhao Hao and Jiang Xueying were hiding!

"Ah..." Jiang Xueying quickly curled up in Zhao Hao's arms. Master Zhao was so scared that he quickly saved his sister. The two of them hugged each other and let the leaves fall all over them.

Seeing that he had almost caused a big disaster, Xiao Yun'er's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

But suddenly someone caught him from behind and lifted him up high.

Xiao Yuner looked back blankly and saw Gao Wu's ferocious face.

Now she was even more frightened. She dared not move at all and her teeth kept chattering.

Then Gao Wu grabbed the belt around her waist with one hand and slowly pulled out the gun on the left side.

With a bang, a shot was fired into the air.

Xiao Yun'er was so scared that her whole body trembled.

Then Gao Wu threw away the gun and pulled out another gun from the belt around her waist.

Keep shooting into the air.

After all dangers were eliminated, he finally managed to utter a few words.

"Don't move, I'll finish shooting."

"..." Xiao Yun'er was confused. Where was the gun?

Fortunately, Gao Wu didn't do anything. He squatted down and gently put her on the ground.

How could Xiao Yuner stand still? Her legs softened and she leaned into Gao Wu's arms.

At the critical moment, Brother Gao's straight man nature was fully revealed. He quickly stretched out his hand to block her, then grabbed Xiao Yun'er's cowhide belt again, lifted it up in the air, and controlled her.

~~

On the other side, Zhao Hao saw that the crisis was over and then he realized that he had been so nervous that he hugged Miss Jiang tightly in his arms.

He quickly let her go, and shyly took the leaves off her head and said, "I was afraid you would get shot."

Well, I'm not scared at all.

"Hmm..." Miss Jiang's face turned red with shame. She had basically returned to her normal pure and gentle self in the past few days and no longer tried to get closer to Zhao Hao.

Because she heard from a sister named Ma who did not want to reveal her name that girls treat boys like flying kites, tightening them sometimes and loosening them sometimes.

No matter how anxious you are, you can't be too nervous, otherwise you will be looked down upon...

I didn't expect that we would hug each other tightly for a while. It was so embarrassing.

When Miss Jiang thought about being looked down upon by her brother, she felt sick and ran away, covering her face without caring about Xiao Yun'er.

Young Master Zhao scratched his head, wondering what happened to Sister Xueying. When he came out from behind the tree, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw Brother Gao holding the girl up and controlling her...

"What are you doing?" Zhao Hao looked at Xiao Yun'er again. She was already dizzy, with circles in her eyes.

Gao Wu was silent for a moment, then he said in a deep voice, "Help her get rid of the paralysis in her legs... For some reason, she always can't stand steadily."

"It's strange that she can stand steadily." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and pointed at the big tree with bullet holes and said, "Put her there, let her sit back and recover slowly."

"Oh." Gao Wu suddenly realized and wondered why I didn't think of it, and hurriedly did as he was told.

Zhao Hao bent down, picked up a gun that had fallen on the ground, and looked at it carefully.
