All the government officials in Tang County who participated in the treasure hunt in Pingdingshan lined up to receive the silver reward.

The team that was originally laughing became quiet as more and more people received the silver rewards.

People gradually calmed down from the excitement and became a little uneasy.

"What's going on? Why is the face of the brother who received the money in front of them so dark?"

"I don't know. Did the master give me too little?"

"The jade is all registered individually. How can we give less? It's impossible."

"Did not much of the stone be sold? Only part of it was divided this time?" Several government officials got a little closer and lowered their voices.

"No way. I heard that all the stones we found were packaged and sold to the person who bought the mountain! My grandpa is smart. If the other party wants the mountain, they must include the jade stones we found. Just buy it! Otherwise, the mountain won’t be sold to others!”

"The master is wise!" "The master is wise!" Several young yamen servants instantly felt that their master was simply too powerful.

How could he come up with such a wonderful idea!

Yes, they found a lot of jade in the mountains over the past ten days!

If it is sold out piece by piece, how long will it take to sell it?

Since that person can pay for the mountain, he must be a wealthy owner!

If you spend more money and buy the jade together, it will be solved in no time!

Their master is really smart! He is a man of great wisdom!

Hearing the heated words of a few people, those in line behind them also moved forward to listen.

Seeing that there were more people around, an old government official said more cheerfully: "No, our master is a smart man at first glance! You haven't seen those big boxes that were delivered that day! They are all heavy! I But I’m here to help move the boxes! Those boxes are so heavy! I’m sure they’re all filled with money!”

"Shh, don't talk nonsense." A buddy next to him elbowed him.

"Oh, it's okay, these are our brothers. You won't go out and talk nonsense, right?"

"Yes, yes, let's just listen to it." When they heard that the money flowing like water had entered their yamen, the enthusiasm of the yamen servants to hunt for treasures and share rewards was once again high.

Not only did they talk about how much money they expected from their leaders, they also shared how they spent their own money!

Some are buying land, some are building houses, and some are saving money to buy a wife for their children. Everyone is happy!

Master Xu was calculating accounts and dividing money in front, while listening to bursts of laughter coming from the team behind him, his head dropped even lower...

Now he really felt sorry for these brothers.

But there was only so much money in total, so how could he go against the master's wishes?

"Take the money. Let's go from the back. Don't talk nonsense when you go out." Several government officials carrying sedan chairs stood aside to assist, numbly repeating to each government official who received the reward.

The next smiling officer announced his name loudly, rubbed his hands together and waited to count the money.

It's just... when Master Xu put the money in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Master Xu in surprise: "Why is it only one tael! Master, did you give it by mistake?"

"The total number you registered is here...you can check it."

"This...this is too little! We have worked day and night for so long and we only get this little money? My wife is still waiting to go home and count the money!"

"Those stones in the mountains have been appraised. They are not jade and are worthless. That's all."

"How is it possible! We have all heard about it. There is a lot of money that was moved into the Yamen! Master Xu, did you steal all the money! You lied to our brothers!" He is not the only one who has such an idea, but everyone dares to I dare not speak when I am angry.

B and C: "What are you talking about? Take the money and leave immediately! If you don't want the money, just put it down! Next one!"

"Why do you give so little! I don't accept it!" He had already promised to build a big tiled house for his wife. The whole family was so happy that they didn't sleep for several days. They only took one or two silver coins home, and his wife had to go back to her parents' home. !

He still wanted to resist, but Yi Bing and Sun Ze standing next to him covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Master Xu expected that some people would be dissatisfied, so he specially arranged four sedan bearers to maintain order.

Why were the four of them chosen? First, because these four had the closest relationship with the master, and second, because they had found the least amount of jade.

Because there are fewer stones found, the money divided is smaller, which is better than dividing the money after finding hundreds of pieces.

The people behind were confused and looked forward.

Master Xu was also helpless.

He stood up from his chair and said loudly to the people behind him: "Although the money shared by everyone is not much, it is also extra income for everyone. Don't let the master's kindness go down."

Master Xu could only open the skylight to explain clearly: "I also thought that if I could find valuable treasures in the mountains, I would give you more subsidies, but I didn't expect that those jade stones had not become jade after being monitored by experts, but everyone Don’t worry, the money distributed today will be distributed evenly based on the number of stones found by everyone. If you have any objections to the amount, you can come and check with me after everyone has distributed it.”

"What! It's not jade! How is it possible that it's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's probably not valuable. Someone saw a lot of money going into the yamen!"

"Yes, he saw it, he saw it. He brought the money in, and it was so much money!"

The person who was just bragging about his involvement in moving the money was instantly pushed out! "Don't push me, don't push me!"

"What are you afraid of! You are our witness now!"

That person just wanted to show that he was more valued, but he was suddenly pushed out.

"Yes! We have evidence! Master lied! Master just doesn't want to give us the money! Give us the money back!"

"Yes! Take out all the money! Give it back to us!"

The scene instantly became chaotic.

The people standing in line stopped standing, and all of them rushed forward. Some grabbed Mr. Xu by the collar, and some even went directly to the box to grab several handfuls of copper coins and put them in their arms!

"Don't panic!" Master Xu's voice could not be heard by a hundred people.

The four government officials carrying the sedan chair were also pushed to the ground and beaten.

The yamen was in complete chaos!
