Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Two rubies, each the size of a quail egg, spilled out of the box.

Huang Silang's face turned red with anger, and he took out a knife to kill the maid.

"You insolent brat, how dare you embarrass me!"

Shen Hao grabbed Huang Silang's hand and laughed, "Master Huang, don't spoil the mood!"

Huang Silang asked in confusion, "Oh? What do you mean?"

“Such a beautiful woman, it would be a waste to kill her. We should cherish her,” Shen Hao said.

Huang Silang smiled slightly and sheathed his sword.

"Oh, so Governor Shen is a man who cherishes women. In that case, why don't we give this woman to Governor Shen?"

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "How can that be? A gentleman does not take what others cherish. This is Master Huang's maid; how can I take her away? That would be inappropriate."

Huang Silang laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? In Goose City, Magistrate Shen, you're the most powerful person. Whatever you fancy is naturally yours."

These words are devastating.

It's clearly an attempt to sow discord and pit the four major families against Shen Hao.

Shen Hao, however, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, displaying an arrogant and domineering demeanor: "Haha, well said, I love hearing that."

The members of the four major families all shook their heads, never expecting that it was all show and no substance.

It's a hollow glutinous rice ball.

Mr. Ren originally thought Shen Hao was a smart man, and that he could entrust his daughter to him.

I never expected him to be such an arrogant and foolish person. People like him will never go far.

Thinking of this, 037 also let go of that thought.

Shen Hao's performance caused people to have a much lower opinion of him.

I think Shen Hao is just a pretentious and incompetent person.

He seems to be a lecherous man.

Huang Silang stroked his beard smugly, quite satisfied with Shen Hao's performance. Impulsive, lecherous, and fond of flattery, no wonder he dared to fire a gun as soon as he entered the city.

I thought he was a tough guy, but he turned out to be a brainless idiot.

Now, the major families are beginning to have doubts, wondering who destroyed Qinglong Village.

They absolutely did not believe that Shen Hao could have done it.

She looked down on Shen Hao from the bottom of her heart.

What can a lustful and impulsive guy do?

Huang Silang waved his hand, and someone brought out the maid's indenture and handed it to Shen Hao.

"This maid is someone I raised since she was a child. Her name is Daiyu Qingwen. She hasn't bled yet, so I'll have to trouble Magistrate Shen with this matter."

Shen Hao accepted the indenture without ceremony and said with satisfaction, "Master Huang is so generous, it really makes me feel a little embarrassed. Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing."

Ha ha ha ha"

After saying that, Shen Hao laughed happily.

Shen Hao wasn't faking it; he was genuinely happy.

Two of the five concubine tasks have already been completed. How could I not be happy?

Seeing Shen Hao's state, everyone shook their heads, thinking he was truly hopeless.

Immediately, Shen Hao stopped pretending and pulled Daiyu and Qingwenzi into his arms, kissing them several times.

He seemed so impatient, as if he'd never seen a woman before.

Damn, this isn't a county magistrate, he's practically a lecherous glutton.

Has this guy never been to a brothel?

Then, Shen Hao smiled and said, "Perhaps we can discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits."

Huang Silang, Master Ren, and the others nodded in agreement.

The Tan and Zhang families, in particular, hated Zhang Mazi with a passion, as he had stolen several of their goods.

But if they knew the truth, they would probably want to kill Huang Silang, since it was all his doing.

Huang Silang received the telegram from Governor Liu and dared not disobey it.

Although he could impersonate Zhang Mazi and steal Huang Silang's goods in private, Huang Silang wouldn't dare to do it openly, even if he had a thousand lives.

In Goose City, Huang Silang is a god, but in front of Commander Liu, he's just a dog.

Therefore, Huang Silang took the lead in declaring, "To support the capture of bandits, I will contribute two hundred men and donate one thousand silver dollars as funding."

Master Ren said, "I will provide one hundred men and donate one thousand silver dollars."

Master Tan said, "I will also contribute one hundred men and one thousand silver dollars."

Master Zhang said, "One hundred people, one thousand silver dollars."

Shen Hao said, "Very good, then we will go into the mountains to suppress the bandits tomorrow."

Huang Silang said, "Prefect Shen, we gentry have set an example, so those peasants can't slack off, can they?"

"That's right, the biggest beneficiaries of our bandit suppression are these peasants. How can we expect them to contribute without paying?" Old Master Tan said, puffing on his cigarette.

“That’s right, we’re contributing money and effort, we can’t let these peasants benefit from it,” said the Zhang family patriarch.

Master Ren said, “Each of our four families will contribute one thousand silver dollars, and we’ll have those peasants donate another six thousand, making a total of ten thousand silver dollars.”

Make them send out another five hundred men.

After we defeat the bandits, we'll discuss how to divide the remaining money.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The group nodded in agreement.

59. Dong Xiaoyu's Jealousy

Seeing this, Shen Hao said, "Hmm, not bad, that's a good idea. Then it's settled. We'll discuss how to divide the remaining money later."

Seeing that Shen Hao was so sensible and cooperative, Huang Silang and the others were very satisfied;

If this collaboration is successful, how far away can the second collaboration be?

Once the important matters are settled, then it's time for romance and pleasantries.

Huang Silang, Master Ren, and others took turns offering toasts.

This was clearly an attempt to get Shen Hao drunk.

In about half an hour, eight or nine bottles of liquor were finished.

Master Ren and the others were also a bit tipsy, and Huang Silang also seemed unable to hold his liquor.

Shen Hao was already completely drunk and unconscious.

Only then were they satisfied.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started to leave.

After the Tan, Zhang, and Ren families left, Huang Silang immediately sobered up, clearly having been faking his drunkenness.

"Someone, escort Magistrate Shen back to rest."

"Yes"

Immediately afterward, Huang Silang said to his maids Daiyu and Qingwenzi, "After you return, monitor the Shen family's every move and report any developments immediately."

"Yes, sir"

So, the beautiful and charming Daiyu Qingwenzi helped Shen Hao into the carriage.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Huang Silang sneered: "Originally, Daiyu and Qingwenzi were meant to please Governor Liu, but I didn't expect you to take a liking to them. Well then, you can enjoy them slowly."

"Tell Governor Liu that you stole his woman, and see how he deals with you."

Huang Silang became increasingly smug.

Daiyu and Qingwenzi were women whom Governor Liu had long desired, and now that they were given to Shen Hao, it was truly wonderful.

The reason for giving Daiyu and Qingwenzi to Shen Hao was to appease him and prevent him from making false accusations.

If he were to say something unpleasant to Governor Liu, Huang Silang would be in a difficult position. Without his backer, he would be nothing.

Dong Xiaoyu, who had been waiting outside, saw a beautiful woman help Shen Hao into the carriage.

His face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he felt a surge of jealousy.

She had just started dating her beloved groom, breaking the taboo between humans and ghosts.

This is the time when we are enjoying ourselves immensely.

Unexpectedly, another woman suddenly appeared, and how could I tolerate this?
