Chapter 31 Ten Villages and Eight Stores Recruiting Talents

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. The first thing is that the bandits are making a little fierce, so our yamen is currently recruiting people. I saw Brother Bai and Xiao Guo's martial arts skills, so I want to invite Brother Bai and Xiao Guo to join us temporarily!"

Xiaoliu invited that if Lao Bai and Xiao Guo could join them, then these bandits would not be worrying at all. With Lao Bai's martial arts and Xiao Guo's background, they could scare the bandits to death.

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at Lao Bai and the others hesitantly. To be honest, she did not agree, but Xiao Liu was not forcing this, just asking for it, so it depends on their own opinions.

However, Lao Bai had a close relationship with the shopkeeper, so he immediately refused. "I can't do it. I'm timid. Not to mention bandits, even if I meet a thief, I'm so scared that I can't walk."

Seeing Lao Bai, he just pretended to be a warning and refused. Xiao Liu didn't feel strange. On the contrary, if Lao Bai agreed directly, it would be a damn thing.

After all, a thief king will only want to join the government after being twisted. Not to mention the grudges over the years, the more he has contacted with the constable, the more likely he will be to reveal his identity.

But Xiao Liu did not intend to give up, and he continued to persuade.

"Brother Bai, do you really not think about it anymore? Although we are only temporary this time, the treatment is very generous, with five cents of silver per month. If you are injured in fighting with bandits, we will not only cover all medical expenses, but also pay you three taels of silver as a subsidy. If you die on duty, we will also give your family a settlement fee of twenty taels of silver."

"Twenty taels!" After hearing Xiaoliu's words, Lao Bai didn't react at all. The shopkeeper next to him exclaimed first, as if he wanted to agree for Lao Bai.

"Yes!" But Lao Bai glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately fell silent.

"If you don't go, let alone twenty taels, I won't go even two thousand taels."

After saying that, Lao Bai turned around and left. As a thief, he would not be moved by such a mere money. If he truly loves money, it would not be easy to use his ability.

Seeing Lao Bai turn around and leave, Xiao Liu didn't persuade him anymore. Although he felt a pity, this was as expected.

Lao Bai was afraid of the constable and was afraid of death, and he was determined to withdraw from the world. How could he join the government because of such a mere bandit and a little money? Isn’t that feeling uncomfortable for himself?

In other words, these bandits really made him angry. He is likely to destroy these bandits by himself, rather than choosing to join the government or seek help from the government.

Because for Lao Bai, he has a grudge against the government.

But he understood the truth more and knew that this hatred could not be blamed by the government, nor by Xiao Liu and the others, so he had no reaction.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to join the government and do things for the government.

Seeing Lao Bai turn around and leave, everyone looked at Xiao Liu worriedly. They were worried that Lao Bai's actions made Xiao Liu unhappy. After all, Xiao Liu is also a constable after all.

But Xiao Liu said with his fists first.

"Shopkeeper Tong, it seems that I was taking the liberty this time. Although I don't know where I offended Brother Bai, please apologize for me."

"It's okay!" Seeing Xiao Liu like this, the shopkeeper quickly smiled.

Then Xiaoliu turned his gaze to Xiaoguo. To be honest, Xiaoguo was a little moved, but she was a little scared. After all, she hadn't beaten the bandits yet.

So at this moment, I was a little hesitant.

To be honest, Xiao Guo was wandering back and forth on the verge of not going to go. Now, just need Xiao Liu to persuade him and fool him in the name of the heroine, and she will agree immediately.

However, seeing Xiao Guo like this, with Lao Bai's previous lessons, Xiao Liu did not plan to persuade him.

After all, Xiao Guo is not Lao Bai, Xiao Guo’s background is much greater than his strength. To be honest, Xiao Liu thinks that he can remove Xiao Guo’s arms with just one knife.

This is not bragging, but a mysterious feeling!

If Xiao Guo joins, he might have to withdraw from protecting Xiao Guo.

"Since Miss Guo has no intention, then the first thing you do is to pretend that Xiao Liu has never said it." Xiao Liu also clasped his fists and said regretfully.

"I..." Xiao Guo originally wanted to join, but when Xiao Liu said this, she couldn't do anything.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly smoothed out. "Xiao Liu, just tell me what the second thing is, right? As long as it is not too dangerous, we will definitely agree to you."

The most dangerous thing has passed at this time, and the shopkeeper responded directly.

"Is this the second thing? I'd better ask Miss Guo for help." Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Guo again after hearing this.

"No problem!" Xiao Guo agreed this time, slapped the table directly.

Xiao Guo, who missed the opportunity just now, also felt that he wanted to show off, otherwise his image as a female hero would collapse.

She didn't know that she didn't have the image of a female hero at all!

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xiao Guo said with an arrogant look.

"I'm also asking Miss Guo to write a letter and tell Lord Lingzun about what happened here." Xiao Liu said directly, this was also his main purpose for coming here.

To be honest, such a large group of bandits robbed such a large sum of money and fled here. There was no news on it, which made Xiao Liu doubt the local government's ability to do business.

So to be on the safe side, Xiao Liu planned to use Xiao Guo's trump card.

Local governments may not pay attention to this bandit, but as long as Xiao Guo is here, the six doors will definitely pay attention to it.

After all, Guo Juxia's only beloved daughter is here, not to mention Guo Juxia, those masters of the Six Gate, especially Xiao Guo's senior brother, will also come spontaneously. As long as they can come one, these bandits will be just a group of ants waiting to die.

When Xiao Liu heard Xiao Guo's words, although Xiao Guo was puzzled, did a group of small bandits need to alarm her father? But she had long wanted to write a letter to her father, but she was just struggling to have no money to pay for the letter.

In ancient times, letters were sent through post stations, but this post station only serves the government, so if the people want to use it, they have to pay a high fee.

Moreover, people do not guarantee that they will send it to you, and they will not say that they will return it to you if they cannot find the recipient. It can be said that it is very scammed.

But it’s better to be fooled than not. If the flying pigeon passes a letter, the pigeon might be beaten down halfway and roasted and eaten.

"No problem, but you have to pay for the money for the letter." Xiao Guo immediately responded.

Seeing that Xiao Guo agreed, Xiao Liu also responded directly. "Don't worry, I have already agreed with the master, the money for this letter to go to the yamen."

"good!"

Seeing Xiao Liu finished speaking, Xiao Guo quickly ran to the counter of Xiucai excitedly and picked up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a letter from home.

The shopkeeper did not stop watching this scene. After all, it would be nice if Xiao Guo could pay back the money earlier, fifty taels!

Looking at Xiao Guo and Xiao Liu's affairs, the big mouth beside him looked at the shopkeeper with something begging for.

The shopkeeper also noticed the big mouth. "What's wrong with big mouth?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's inquiry, Dazui hurriedly said filially. "How many days can I take for a leave from the shopkeeper? This Cuiwei Mountain is a bandit, and my mother is alone at home, so I am a little worried about her."

Hearing Dazui's filial words and looking at Dazui's worried look, the shopkeeper nodded. She was about to agree, but Xiao Liu, who was standing beside him, comforted him first.

"Don't worry, Brother Big Mouth, your mother will not be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Dazui and the shopkeeper both looked at Xiaoliu, wondering why Xiaoliu is so confident.

Xiao Liu looked at the eyes of the two people and smiled. He didn't know how his martial arts were.

But just by just a single pop of the Nagqu finger, you can vibrate the dice's internal strength from the air, which is enough to show that its internal strength is unfathomable.

Of course, I definitely can't say that, but Lijiagou is indeed the safest place in the eight shops in Ten Villages.

Xiao Liu picked up three bowls on the table and arranged them.

"Look, Cuiwei Mountain is twenty miles south of Qixia Town, and Lijiagou is fifty miles northeast of Qixia Town. The two places can be said to be far apart. Moreover, Lijiagou is very remote. Even if this bandits want to rob, they won't go to Lijiagou. So, Brother Big Mouth, you don't have to worry at all."

Listening to Xiaoliu's careful analysis, his big mouth quickly let out a long mouthful, and his originally hung heart was relieved.

"Oh my god, I feel relieved when I hear you. Thank you, Xiao Liu! I'll cook for you now." As he said that, he walked towards the kitchen happily.
