C153

The soldiers did not come early or late, Chen Tang did not come when he was about to die, and Chen Baifu did not come when she was about to cut Chen Ergou, but when she took out her kitchen knife and wanted to fix Chen Baifu, it was already time.

Even a blind person would know that there was something fishy going on!

However, Chen Baifu was his brother-in-law, so it was not surprising for them to be in cahoots.

Most of the onlookers were afraid of trouble. When they saw the county magistrate rushing over with his soldiers, they hastily dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the huge gambling den had been cleared away, leaving behind the thugs who couldn't run away, as well as Chen Mu and his men.

Taking advantage of the guard not noticing, Chen Ergou crawled up and ran in front of Chen Mu while angrily saying: "You little hoof, only you know how to cause trouble and bring back the county magistrate. I think you must be tired of living!"

This Chen Ergou, Chen Mu Mu had never really observed him before, but now, when Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him again, she felt that it was different from what she had imagined.

He was still a scoundrel, still a scoundrel, still full of profanities. However, to her little sister, Chen Ergou … But there was a hint of sincerity in his tone.

Glimmers danced in Chen Mu's eyes as he glared at him. "What nonsense are you blabbering about? Just now, I saved your life!"

Chen Ergou was ungrateful: "It's useless for you to save me. That damned old man owes me so much money and I will still return even after I run away. "Besides, if you provoke the county magistrate, I'll be dead for sure in the future!"

Hearing those words, Chen Mu felt depressed, and he nearly kicked the other party out. "If you're unhappy, you can knock yourself against the wall. Otherwise, I won't be a burden to you!"

Chen Ergou was startled, he looked at her in disbelief, "Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu, you seem to be different from before."

In the past, Chen Mu Mu was weak, cowardly, and docile. How could she possibly curse others? How could she say such arrogant words?

"Walk before the gates of hell. If you don't change, you'll die." Chen Mu Mu Mu was too lazy to explain anymore, he directly said: "Chen Ergou, if you're afraid of death, then scram, I will hold you back here."

"Where the hell can I run off to now that all my soldiers are here?" With profane words coming out of your mouth, Chen Ergou stood in front of her, "This has nothing to do with you, you were long sold out by that dead man Chen Tang, you have nothing to do with my family, scram!"

Of course, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't scram. With a 'pfft', she stared at the young man who was trying his best to act as though he was afraid of her. "Useless!"

This time, Chen Ergou did not try to be stubborn with her, because the soldiers were already in front.

The County Magistrate was dressed in his official's uniform and immediately shouted at Chen Mu Mu Mu, "How dare you, you dare to use a blade to wound someone in broad daylight. You simply have no sense of justice.

Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders, "Even if I let go, I would still die."

In any case, she was a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. If she was going to use force, then she would drag her people along to accompany her in death … Only the devil would die with Chen Baifu, leaving him to die alone.

Chen Mu Mu smiled as he glanced at the surrounding soldiers who were ready to make a move. With a calm and collected expression, he said, "Old County Magistrate, you must watch over your troops and don't act rashly. If I were to shake my hand, your brother-in-law might just lose his life!"

The magistrate was a greedy official. As everyone knew, telling him about the law was useless. However, using his brother-in-law to explain things, this wife of his had no choice but to obey.

As a result, when Chen Baifu was in the hands of Chen Mu Mu, although the county magistrate was furious, he could only use her method tomorrow.

"Aren't I doing this to protect myself?" Chen Mu harrumphed, "Being an official doesn't help the people. You don't care about a dead person, but it's your brother-in-law's turn to be held hostage and come rolling out on horseback. What an official style!"

The county magistrate, however, did not care about her mockery. He only stared at the kitchen knife in Chen Mu Mu's hand and said, "This county doesn't need you to teach me how to do things. Quickly put the knife down, this county can still punish you again!"

"If I give up my life, I'll die." "You should know that in the eyes of the county magistrate, your brother-in-law is much more valuable than us."

This was the truth, and the magistrate could not deny it.

But Chen Baifu was still in the hands of Chen Mu Mu after all.

After staring for a long time, he said: "Chen Tang owes people money and got beaten to death, you deserve it. You are Chen Tang's children, yet you still want to fight with the people from the gambling den? "As the saying goes, it is only right that a debt should be repaid. This county will agree with you. If you still need to know the debt of the gambling house, this county will have the people of the gambling house stop investigating your crimes."

The county magistrate felt that he had retreated a great step, but the words he said left Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu speechless.

Ignoring his image, he rolled his eyes. "Lord County Magistrate, as the lord of a county, you are in vain. You don't even understand such a simple logic. Now that you guys are weak and we are strong, why should we accept such hegemony terms like yours? "

Seeing the magistrate's unsightly expression, the smile on Chen Mu's lips became even happier, as if she was afraid that the magistrate wasn't angry enough. She smiled and continued to provoke him. Your brother-in-law killed my father, my lord said. Should I take his life as well? "

You want to take money after killing someone? Do you think she's an idiot?!

The county magistrate had always been disorderly, and seeing her settling the scores, he was furious and trembled: "Witch, you're simply spouting nonsense, it's clear that you don't want to return the money you owe to the gambling den, and want to cause a ruckus in the gambling den. That's why Chen Baifu forced himself to take action. Chen Tang will die because he deserved it. How can he let others down! "

"I don't care. He's dead anyway." Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders, "In my opinion, killing means paying with one's life."

"How can you be so impudent within the boundaries of this county!?" "If you dare hurt a single hair on Chen Baifu's head, I'll make sure you guys pay with your lives!"

"It's death anyway, do you think I'm afraid?" Chen Mu smirked. "But it's worth it to pull your brother-in-law down with you before you die."

The magistrate, "..." He would only use his brother-in-law to threaten him. Was there no other way? This was too much!

But even if Chen Mu and the others went too far, the magistrate still didn't want to go against her.

After hesitating for a while, the county magistrate revealed a helpless look on his face, "Chen Mu Mu, tell me, as long as you don't want Chen Baifu's life, how are you going to stop?"

A County Magistrate who was willing to submit was a good County Magistrate.

From the looks of it, Chen Baifu's life was worth it.

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes as he nodded his head, "The county magistrate is the most tactful of them all. If the stalemate continues, there'll be no end to it. You won't be able to get anything good out of it."

The county magistrate almost rolled his eyes. Looking at his brother-in-law's pale face, he felt his heart ache and snorted angrily, "Cut the crap! If you want anything, just say it. You can just leave. The government will not care about your matters in the future."

"Who said anything about this." Chen Mu scoffed, "If the authorities don't capture me, it will be your biggest concession. However, I have never done anything wrong, the officials have no reason to capture me, so why should I be afraid of you?"

He still said he did not make a mistake! The county magistrate stared at Chen Baifu at her feet, then looked at the kitchen knife that was about to cut Chen Baifu's neck in her hand, and became speechless.

In order to ensure the safety of his brother-in-law, it would be better for him to say less for the time being.

"Then what do you want?"

"Killing people to fill their lives." Upon seeing the magistrate order a retreat, she suddenly wanted to tease him.

"If you kill him, you won't be able to live with your brother and the little girl beside you!" The County Magistrate was infuriated as well, threatening angrily.

"Little wife?" Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the expressionless Lu Jinfeng, and was silent for a moment.

Only now did she realize that Lu Jinfeng was more than just beautiful, he was more of a woman!

In other words, good mother.

Upon coming into contact with Chen Mu Mu's gaze, Lu Jinfeng pursed his lips as his gaze lightly swept across the County Magistrate.

That he was a woman?

County Magistrate trembled in fear due to Lu Jinfeng's gaze. She shook her head and said, "This county has grown up, but it's still the first time that I've seen such a valiant woman."

The sturdy Lu Jinfeng: "..."

What if he wanted to kill someone more?

This kind of stalemate wasn't an option. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was silent for a while, and finally decided to give the magistrate a way out.

"Master, I said that we have to fill our lives in order to kill you. If you want Chen Baifu to live, then what should you fill my father's life with?"

With such a clear hint, it was impossible for the County Magistrate to not notice. He immediately darkened. "You want money?"

"I didn't plan to do that, but after hearing what you said, I feel that it's not bad." Chen Mu used his kitchen knife to pat Chen Baifu's face, and smiled at the county magistrate: "Master, tell me, how much silver is your little brother-in-law's life worth?"

The County Magistrate shuddered and was left speechless for a long time.

On the other hand, Chen Baifu, who was being held hostage, started howling in his heart, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you have to rest easy, your father owes me three hundred silver coins, his life is not even worth five taels!" Just as he finished speaking, Chen Mu Mu kicked him and he couldn't help but grunt.

Chen Mu held the kitchen knife to his neck and chuckled: "Chen Baifu, I am an extremely desperate person who does whatever he wants. If you continue to talk nonsense and make me unhappy, we will all go to hell together."

The more he used the kitchen knife, the more awake he became due to the pain from the place where he was kicked. Chen Baifu, who treasured his life dearly, looked at Chen Mu in anger and fear.

The county magistrate felt extremely pained to watch his brother-in-law being kicked in the neck by a kitchen knife. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, alright. Just tell me how much you want."

"I want 1300 taels." Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled.

Gooseberry.

The magistrate seemed to hear the sound of his chin hitting the ground as he looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu in disbelief. "How much silver did you say?"

"One thousand three hundred liang." Chen Mu Mu Mu repeated with a good temper, "Didn't my father owe your gambling house three hundred silver taels?" "Then I don't want the three hundred silver taels. Just give me a thousand silver taels."

The magistrate gaped at her, "This county has never seen a woman as shameless as you before!"

1,000 silver was not even enough for him to earn a year's salary!
