Chen Mu Mu Mu continued to smile as he waited for the magistrate to reply.

The magistrate could not do anything but reply, "The annual salary of this county is only 45 taels of silver. If you want 1000 taels of silver, where can I find it for you?"

Extortion should be determined by the target, right? As a county magistrate, she would not even have the salary to pay him.

"Old Master Liu, your annual salary is forty-five taels of silver, but when you're an official, it might not only be forty-five taels of silver a year." Chen Mu Mu was unmoved, "1000 taels of silver is not a small sum. I'll give you an hour. If you can't take it, I'll kill him."

She chuckled, "Lord, don't tell me that even if he dies, I won't be able to live. I can force him, but I'm not afraid of killing him."

The Qing officials only relied on their salaries to live a life of poverty. She could understand why the Qing officials would cry for poverty? What a joke!

The county magistrate had to break numerous cases a year. In a corrupt government, as long as one had money, there was nothing impossible about it.

It was impossible for there to only be poor families in a county. In order to curry favor with the County Magistrate, those country lords had given him an unknown amount of gold and silver a year.

The corrupt officials said that without money, how could they afford to wear silk and satin? How could they afford to live in a mansion or drive a large carriage?

Taking a step back, even if no wealthy family gave the county magistrate money to pay his respects, it was impossible for his brother-in-law's gambling house to not earn a thousand taels of silver a year.

One had to know that Chen Tang alone already owed him three hundred silver.

The magistrate gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you reckless bastard, I'll tell you this: even if I gave you a thousand taels of silver, you still might not be able to use it!"

Because the moment she lets go of Chen Baifu, the soldiers would rush forward and take her down!

If he fell into the hands of the officials, it would be up to anyone to kill him or to cut him into pieces.

Chen Mu Mu Mu sneered, "Since that's the case, what are you afraid of, my lord? If you can take it away, why are you still afraid of giving it to me? "

The magistrate held his breath. If he couldn't defeat her, he could only send someone to get the silver.

Because they were worried for Chen Baifu's safety, the county magistrate's people took the money quickly, but when they returned, they brought back the county magistrate's wife.

As soon as the magistrate's wife came over, she began to curse loudly, "You blind little hoof, you dare injure my little brother? I will hack you into a thousand pieces later to vent my anger!"

Chen Mu Li ignored her and let Chen Ergou take the silver. He said to the county magistrate, "I still need a document to prove that this silver was given to me by you willingly, and that the three hundred silver that you owe me in the gambling house has been repaid."

Before the magistrate could reply, the magistrate's wife scolded him, "You black-hearted woman! How dare you call out 1,300 taels of silver to a coward like your father! Why don't you just go and die!"

"It's not that my father is worth so much, but your brother is worth so much. This money is for his life." Chen Mu Mu kicked Chen Baifu who was at his feet, and asked with a fake smile: "Boss Chen, don't you think that's right?"

Chen Baifu hated her so much that he clenched his teeth, but when his life was in her hands, he did not dare refute her.

When the county magistrate's wife saw this, she began to curse.

"Master, this document, will you write it or not?" Seeing that the magistrate was hesitating, Chen Mu moved the kitchen knife to Chen Baifu's ear and laughed: "If I don't write, why don't I cut off his ear first and make him a present for you?"

"Don't touch my little brother!" The county magistrate's wife roared, "If you dare touch him, I'll kill your entire family!"

"Didn't my father die a long time ago?" Chen Mu Mu Mu pointed at Chen Tang's corpse at the side.

The county magistrate's wife: "…"

Chen Mu's face turned cold as he continued, "Master, I don't have that much patience. Are you going to write it or not?"

The county magistrate's wife glared at him and nodded with a sullen expression. "I'll write it!"

There was a brush, ink, and paper in the gambling den. After a while, the county magistrate came out and passed the document to Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu. "Take a look, is this alright?"

"It's done." Chen Mu Mu nodded as he kept the documents.

The county magistrate carefully looked at Chen Baifu, who was beneath her feet: "Then, can you let him go now?"

Once he released them, he would capture all these troublesome civilians!

If they dared to threaten him and make him lose all face, once they caught them, they would definitely make these troublesome people beg for their lives!

"Not yet." Chen Mu glanced at Chen Tang's corpse at the side, "Although Chen Baifu's life was already bought back, he was after all killed by Chen Baifu, you all have to bury him, then I can release him."

"You want us to bury this lowly commoner here?" The magistrate was displeased, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you've gone too far!"

"The money has already been paid, why would I care about this for a short period of time?" The county magistrate's wife was quite open-minded as she gloomily advised, "Buried the person first. If worse comes to worst, we'll dig them out later!"

Upon hearing those words, the magistrate trembled uncontrollably. He turned to Chen Mu Mu Mu and heaved a sigh of relief only when he didn't see the rage on Chen Mu's face.

Although they had that thought, but the time was not right. This woman was so anxious that she had angered Chen Mu Mu, what if she directly attacked Chen Baifu?

The two sides negotiated. Chen Mu was the one in the lead, and even though the magistrate wasn't satisfied, he could only obey her orders.

With so many people and so many strong men, it only took less than an hour for Chen Tang's funeral to be over.

Chen Mu Mu Mu did not go overboard, seeing that Chen Tang had already buried himself to rest, he released Chen Baifu as promised.

Once he released her, Chen Baifu immediately rushed to his sister's back and said to the county magistrate: "Brother-in-law, you have to kill that girl, if not I won't take this lying down!"

After pausing for a moment, he glanced at Lu Jinfeng, who was beside Chen Mu, and reminded him: "Be careful with that beauty, the hundred Flowerbed are indeed lacking this kind of exceptional beauty, it's worth quite a bit."

Lu Jinfeng's paralyzed face started to crack, and his knuckles cracked.

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't waste his anger and said, "I'll leave these people to you. As long as you don't kill them, it's fine even if they are crippled."

There wasn't a good person.

Lu Jinfeng nodded, and took the lead to rush into the group of soldiers.

After receiving half of Lin Mo's power, Lu Jinfeng had already caught up to the ranks of the second rate experts in the martial arts world. Furthermore, he had been training hard recently, and there were still groups of killers coming for him to train with.

However, after a short while, all the thugs and soldiers of the Ru Yi gambling house fell.

The thug from Ru Yi gambling den was stunned.

The yamen officials were stunned.

County Magistrate and Madam were stunned.

Chen Baifu was stunned.

Even Chen Mu Mu was slightly surprised.

She knew that Lu Jinfeng's skills were not bad, but she did not know since when he had become so strong.

Right now, even she couldn't beat him.

After Lu Jinfeng dealt with Xiao Luo, she glanced at the three people who were still standing, and asked: "These few, are we still fighting?"

Chen Mu was lost in his own thoughts. He didn't even blink as he said, "Just remove your arm."

Hearing that, Lu Jinfeng quickly walked forward. Before County Magistrate, Madam County Magistrate and Chen Baifu could react, their arms were all dislocated.

Ah!

Miserable screams filled the air.

Other than Chen Mu, Lu Jinfeng and Chen Ergou, there was no one else standing.

Chen Ergou was dumbstruck, he pointed at Lu Jinfeng, then at Chen Mu Mu Mu, both angry and sad, with some unknown and complicated meaning.

"You guys are so strong, then when Chen Baifu was bullying me, were you all watching?"

This brat's brain was really quick.

Chen Mu Mu nodded his head.

Upon receiving her acknowledgement, Chen Ergou was immediately enraged: "Chen Mu Mu Mu, I'm your blood related brother, how can you watch me get beaten and humiliated?"

It was simply watching him get beaten up, watching him get humiliated!

He didn't arrive in time and saved him at the critical moment. He was only saved when he was bullied to the point of nearly dying.

It was one thing if they didn't have the ability to help, but to stand by and watch, are they relatives?

Chen Mu Mu Mu's viciousness surpassed his imagination.

Lu Jinfeng frowned, he was about to speak, but Chen Mu shook his head and walked over to Chen Ergou's side.

Chen Ergou was taller than her by a head, but when she stood in front of him, she did not feel the slightest bit of admiration. She looked at him and smiled, a faint, indifferent smile.

"What, Chen Ergou, do you feel wronged?"

It would be strange if he didn't feel wronged for having such a family member on his shoulders.

Chen Ergou clenched both his hands into fists, his chest moving up and down rapidly. His eyes were filled with resentment and he did not speak for a long time.

He didn't speak, but his eyes told her the answer.

Chen Mu Mu locked gazes with him, not fearing him in the slightest. "You're right, I did it on purpose."

As if she was afraid that he wasn't sad enough, she emphasized on her tone as she repeatedly dug at his wound, "I purposely watched you get beaten up, humiliated by Chen Baifu, and I purposely watched you almost die."

She smiled faintly without a hint of happiness in her eyes, "Because I want to beat you up that way too!"

Chen Ergou opened his mouth, but was unable to find words to say. He looked at her with a complicated gaze: "You want to beat me up?"

"Do you think you shouldn't be beaten up?" Chen Mu Mu laughed coldly as his fingers pinched his chin, his voice was as cold as ice water. "Chen Ergou, as a man, if you can't win in literature, what else do you know other than drinking and gambling? You can't even protect yourself, and you aren't even close to your loved ones! You saw me being sold out by Chen Tang right in front of your eyes, and you saw Chen Tang getting beaten to death right in front of your eyes! You said that you are worse than an animal in this state? Shouldn't you be beaten up? "

Chen Mu said, his lips revealing a mocking smile, she spoke out softly, but her words were accompanied by an arrow, "Chen Ergou, you still have the face to blame me for being cold? "Let me tell you, if I were to live your life like this, I would have long wiped the food off with a knife across my neck. I wouldn't have lived to waste food!"

Lu Jinfeng was dumbstruck.

They had seen venomous tongues, but they had never seen a tongue as venomous as Chen Mu's! It was like cursing someone to death and rubbing salt into their wounds!

She was not afraid that Chen Ergou would really smash his head into the wall in his anger!

Chen Ergou was also dumbstruck.

He had been studying under his old man for the past few years, and as a bastard, his life had been muddled. He had never stopped cursing, and he was used to being numb to it.

However, the person who scolded him today was his little sister.

She told him to die, that his life was a waste of food!
