I Have a Luck Altar

Chen Yuan's eyes moved lightly, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, watching Tie Qinghua knelt on the ground for shelter, but he was thinking in his heart, did Tie Qinghua guess that Tie Xuan's death had something to do with him? .

Connecting the details of the time and the present in his mind, there was indeed no enmity or conflict of interest between him and Tie Xuan on the surface.

So

Chen Yuan stood up and helped Tie Qinghua up, and said softly:

"For brother Tie's sake, I will protect the Tie family!"

"Thank you, my lord."

Tie Qinghua showed a relaxed smile.

With the protection of this Chief Chen, the Tie family will be safe.

She was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, fifty taels of silver is too little, one hundred taels." Chen Yuan stretched out a finger.

Tie Qinghua was a little hesitant, one hundred taels of silver was really beyond her budget, and given the current situation of the Tie family, it was impossible to provide such a large amount of silver to Chen Yuan every month.

But seeing Chen Yuan not being able to refute, Tie Qinghua didn't dare to refute, so she just nodded and said:

"My lord said one hundred taels, then one hundred taels!"

But in her heart, she was thinking about how to expand the business of the Tie family. She also saw some of Chen Yuan's character.

With one hand behind his back, Chen Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Don't worry, with me here, the Tie family won't say they can monopolize the south of the city, but they will definitely get a huge share of the pie. The Wang family you mentioned is good. In the future, his family's foundation will be handed over to you to control."

He doesn't have the time to do these things, just sit and wait for the money to be collected.

In this way, he really has a lot of power in Ping'an County from now on, and his monthly money is no less than that of Li Mingqi. Of course, if Li Mingqi has other sources in his hands, that's another matter.

Tie Qinghua was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the head catcher Chen was probably going to take the Wang family to the sword, she clasped her fists together, bowed slightly, and said:

"Thank you, my lord. In the future, Qinghua will take care of these businesses for my lord."

the next day,

early morning.

As expected by Chen Yuan, several factions in the city joined forces to the county government, hoping that the county government could make decisions for them. Their goods were robbed in Ping'an County, so they would rush to report to the county government.

Otherwise, wouldn't their annual filial piety be in vain?

If it is a family, maybe the county government will ignore it, but there are six caravans worth nearly a thousand taels, and no one can take it lightly.

Some families may even decline because of such a looting.

The county lieutenant Li Mingqi and the county magistrate Wu Qingfeng also called Chen Yuan, who was in charge of arresting the thieves, to the county government immediately.

When Chen Yuan walked in with a calm face, the Patriarch of the Six Families sized Chen Yuan up and down, doubting whether such a young head catcher would be able to suppress those horse bandits who killed without blinking an eye.

Tie Qinghua didn't look sideways, and immediately moved away after meeting Chen Yuan's gaze.

Before Chen Yuan exposed her, Tie Qinghua really didn't have the guts.

"Humble job has seen two adults."

Looking at the county magistrate Wu Qingfeng and the county lieutenant Li Mingqi sitting at the head, Chen Yuan looked straight and bowed slightly.

"Chen Yuan, how did you become a head catcher? You don't know anything about such evil happening in the county?" Wu Qingfeng's tone was a little cold.

He scolded him when he didn't come up, otherwise he would appear demeaning.

"My lord, when I first took office in a humble position, I really didn't know much about the county." Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

"Then what have you been doing these past few days?" Wu Qingfeng stared at Chen Yuan and sneered.

"I was ordered to track down the traces of the Wusheng Sect thieves."

Chen Yuan said so.

"At whose order?"

Li Mingqi frowned, coughed a few times:

"According to the order of the officer, Chen Butou has been investigating for the past few days without even having time to rest. How can he know what happened outside the county the day before yesterday?"

"Magistrate Wu, don't be too harsh."

Wu Qingfeng squinted and smiled:

"So that's the case, then Catcher Chen must have found something after spending so much time on the investigation."

Chen Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he nodded directly:

"There are indeed some traces, but it is not certain yet."

Wu Qingfeng's eyes were suffocated, and then he said:

"In this case, I will wait to hear the good news from Catcher Chen."

Li Mingqi coughed lightly twice:

"Magistrate Wu, today is not the time to talk about Wusheng Cult monsters."

"You guys tell Chief Chen exactly what happened, and the county government will definitely try their best to track down the trail of the horse bandits." Wu Qingfeng didn't care, smiled, and looked at the people sitting below.

Then he stood up and left the hall with a few entourages, leaving only Li Mingqi to support the scene.

Li Mingqi, who stayed behind, looked at Wu Qingfeng's leaving back and snorted a few times. Of course, he knew what Wu Qingfeng was planning, and he would be fine if he left all these burdens to him.

But he couldn't say anything more, because according to his duties, as a county lieutenant, this was indeed his responsibility.

Chen Yuan raised his head, his eyes moved lightly, showing a hint of a smile, then walked to Li Mingqi's side and whispered a few words in his ear, which made Li Mingqi's mouth twitch calmly.

He thought to himself, Chen Yuan is a talent.

The remaining Patriarchs looked at each other, completely puzzled about what Chen Yuan and the others were communicating, but had some bad premonitions.

"Let's just talk about it, and let Butou Chen listen to it." Li Mingqi said lightly.

After he finished speaking, he stood up as a middle-aged, well-built man, arched his hands at Chen Yuan and said:

"Captain Chen, I'll wait."

After listening to the narration, Chen Yuan was slightly surprised and said:

"How many believe that it was the gang of horse bandits wandering around Ping'an County?"

"Except for them, I'm afraid no one would dare to touch our things." Someone echoed.

"That's right. I heard that these horse bandits are doing all kinds of crimes. They came here from other state capitals. I thought they were passing by, but I didn't expect to dare to do it!"

"Chen Butou, I hope the Yamen will act quickly to wipe out these thieves and restore peace to my Ping'an County." Someone said loudly.

Chen Yuan glanced at him:

"Then do you know where they are now? There are many mountains in Ping'an County, and these horse bandits hide everywhere, so it is not so easy to find them."

The man was silent.

"Chen Butou, these are not our concerns, they should be the yamen's concerns. I only care about whether my goods are suitable and can come back?"

Someone condensed their voices.

"That's it, then you go back and wait for the notice, and they will tell you when they are wiped out."

Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief lazily, he seemed a little sleepy, but it was more perfunctory.

"Chen Butou, what do you mean?"

"Is this how the county government treats horse bandits?"

Seeing this scene, some people were a little angry.

Chen Yuan fixed his eyes and picked up the long knife in his hand.
