C264 (1/2)
Chu Yunge walked to the front of the Prefect, bent down, and reached out her hand to grab the Prefect's hair.
”If I want to borrow money from you, just say whether I want to borrow or not. Where's all this nonsense coming from?” ”Just one more word of nonsense and I'll knock out all your teeth. Do you understand?” Chu Yunge spoke in a rather fierce tone.
The Prefect covered his swollen face and looked at the smiling Chu Yunge. He nodded in panic;
”Shouldn't you have done it earlier? ”Look at this swollen little face. Tsk tsk, how pitiful —” Chu Yunge sighed and patted the Palace Chief's fat face a few times.
”I repeat what I said just now, I want to borrow some silver. I wonder if the Prefect is interested?”
”Hmm …” The magistrate spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a sad face, ”My dear chivalrous hero, how much silver do you want to accept?”
”Hmm — since this Great Liang City is so rich, let me borrow a million silver first!”
When the Prefect heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
One million silver? That was a year's worth of taxes in Daliang City!
”Hero, there are so many of them. I really don't have any!” That Prefect said almost in a sobbing tone.
Chu Yunge's face immediately darkened, ”No? How much is the tax in your Great Liang City? ”Speak!”
The Prefect was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly said, ”One million silver.”
”Then do you dare to say no?”
”Woman, do you know that the taxes of our Liang Dynasty are placed in the silver vaults within the army camp of the Liang Dynasty's overseer. They are guarded by heavy soldiers, and they will be transported to the imperial court at the end of the year.” There's no money in my house! ”
Chu Yunge stared deadly into the Prefect's eyes. She realized that when the Prefect said those words, his pupils had clearly contracted and changed. This person was lying!
”Hehe, since that's the case, I won't trouble you then.”
After Chu Yunge finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. When she reached Feng Yi's side, she casually said to him: ”This person is useless to us, kill him.”
Feng Yi understood and laughed sinisterly as he took out a dagger and walked towards the Palace Chief.
”Oh, that's right. Don't be like before, every time you kill someone you stab them to pieces. There isn't a single piece of good meat to be seen, it seems extremely disgusting. ”If you don't stab me a few times, you can cut me 70 or 80 times with the bucket. Leave a complete corpse for me.”
Feng Yi giggled and nodded.
The Prefect suddenly crawled and rolled as he hugged Chu Yunge's leg, begging with tears in her voice: ”Witch, spare me!”
Chu Yunge stomped her foot on the Prefect's chest, knocking him to the side. ”Since you're useless to me, why should I spare your life? Waiting for you to arrest me tomorrow? ”
”This little one doesn't dare to arrest a female hero. I hope that this little one can take her life …”
Chu Yunge looked at the Prefect's face that was covered in tears and snot, and laughed disdainfully, ”You, a man that never shed tears before seeing the coffin, do you think you can deceive me? If you don't say where the money is, I will ask your family and subordinates and someone will always tell me the truth. I will spare his life, and kill anyone who doesn't! ”
Just as Chu Yunge finished speaking, a few black clothed men walked over with a few people behind them.
These people were all disheveled, obviously having just been caught in bed.
The Prefect glanced at them. His son, his wife, his concubine, and his master were here.
These people all knew the location of his silver bank, and someone would probably reveal it. At that time, he would definitely not be able to protect his own life.
However, if the treasury was stolen and the emperor found out about it, he would still be executed.
The Prefect was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
Chu Yunge pressed her face close to the Prefect's ear and said softly, ”As long as you tell me the location of the silver warehouse, I will give you twenty percent of it. Then, you can bring your family and escape to the Chu in the middle of the night. ”How about it?”
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said to Chu Yunge: ”That Grand Master was sent by the imperial government to watch me. I will tell you the location of the silver vault! ”
Chu Yunge glanced at Guan Shan, and Guan Shan took a step forward, drawing his blade to stab into the back of the Grand Master.
Guan Shan drew his saber and retreated. There was not the slightest change on his face. It was as if the one that had just died was an ant.
The Prefect looked at the Grand Master who had died with grievance, and felt relieved. He said to Chu Yunge: ”That silver vault is indeed in the military camp of the garrison, but I can bring you guys to it since I have the right to do so. can mobilize the current year's taxes to deal with emergencies. ”
Chu Yunge nodded, he knew that the Prefect was not lying this time.
”I will take you to the bank. As long as you behave and get the silver, you will bring your family and money to the Chu.” But if you play any tricks, your little life will be gone, and all your family will be buried with you! ” After Chu Yunge finished speaking, she indicated for Guan Shan to bring the Prefect to change out of his official uniform.
Seeing that the Prefect had left, Feng Yi walked to Chu Yuge's side and said: ”According to what I know, the local garrison is quite strong, and their fighting capabilities are also very strong. Are you sure you want to go to the army camp to get the silver?”
