Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"We don't have that much silver on us. Let us go first, and I promise to send the silver to you after returning to the base camp." Liu Ye Junbei said.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If I let you go, will you come back to give me money?" Wei Xiaobao didn't believe Liu Ye Zhengbei's words at all.

"Then you release me first. I will get the silver and redeem these wanderers."

"Letting you go is wishful thinking. These wanderers are worthless. The big fish here is you, right?"

"If you don't let us go, who will get the money for you?" Liu Ye Junbei said.

"Let him go back and get the silver." Wei Xiaobao pointed at Gui Er Zheng Ba and said.

When Gui Er Zheng Ba heard that he had to go back to the base camp to get money to redeem Liu Ye Jun Bei and others, his eyes turned cunningly. He wanted to speak, but he was mute because of the pressure on his mute point, so he couldn't speak.

"Shuang'er untied his acupuncture points."

After Gui Er Zheng Ba's acupuncture points were untied, he knelt on the ground and said to Liu Ye Zheng Bei: "Master Tu Shi, go back to the base camp to get the silver for atonement. General De Shan Jia Li will kill me."

After hearing what Kameji Zhengba said, Liuye Junbei thought that the matter of the redemption silver must not be known to the base camp, otherwise his future as a samurai would be ruined.

"Go to the arena in front of the palace and find my eldest and second brothers. Ask them to give you the silver and send it over immediately."

"I'll do it right away." Gui Erzhengba said, glanced at Wei Xiaobao, and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Gui Erzhengba was going to get the silver, Wei Xiaobao didn't say anything and directly ordered Shuang'er to let him go.

Since Yuan Datong was seriously injured and stepped down, no one had come up to fight on the arena in front of the palace. The crowd watching below the arena was also small and deserted.

When Kameji Masahachi told Yanagi Junxi everything that happened in the bakery, the two brothers looked horrified.

They couldn't believe that there was such a master in the land of Ryukyu, who not only had the advanced martial arts of acupoint pressing, but also had an indestructible body that was invulnerable to swords and guns.

If this kind of martial arts were placed in Japan, it would be one of the best.

It seems that the Ryukyu Kingdom is not so weak, and it really has hidden talents.

When it comes to the atonement money, although the two were very reluctant, after all, their own biological brother was detained there, so they had to pay the money.

Half an hour later, Gui Er Zheng Ba came to Wei Xiao Bao with two silver notes.

After paying the redemption money, Wei Xiaobao kept his promise and released them all.

Of course, the three Liu brothers didn't have the nerve to continue setting up the arena in front of the palace, and they withdrew in disgrace the next day.

In less than three hours, they defeated the Japanese twice in succession and even made them send 16,000 taels of silver.

This was unprecedented and immediately caused a sensation in the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.

The two heroes, Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er, also became famous in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

When heroic deeds and the aroma of bread are mixed together, fame and money are harvested.

Seeing the huge piles of silver in front of him every day, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but feel happy.

However, people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat, and some people in Shuri Castle began to "keep their eyes on" Wei Xiaobao.

… …

Shuri Castle, prefectural government.

Ever since Mr. Wang suffered a setback in Wei Xiaobao's bakery last time, he has been thinking of ways to take revenge on Wei Xiaobao.

"Mr. Prefect, a man named Wei Xiaobao came to Shuri Castle. A few days ago, he had two fights with Japanese ronin and samurai. He also extorted money from the Japanese." Master Wang reported to the prefect Wu Huairen.

"Are you talking about the man who sells bread?" asked Magistrate Wu.

"It was this man who incited the people to fight against the Japanese, which made the Japanese very dissatisfied with us." Master Wang added fuel to the fire and continued:

"Last time, Captain Liu and I went to find him and asked him to pay the tribute to the prefectural government. Not only did he not pay, but he also spoke disrespectfully to the prefectural government, saying that you, the prefect, are a worthless person..."

"Oh, this guy is so rampant. You should bring more people to collect the tribute silver immediately. Didn't he just get two taels of silver from the Japanese? We will let him add some more and collect 20,000 taels of tribute silver from him. If he doesn't give it, put him in jail." said Magistrate Wu.

"Your Excellency the Prefect is wise. I will arrange the personnel right away. You just wait for my good news!" said Master Wang flatteringly.

There were more than 200 runners and officials in the prefecture. This time, Wang called all the remaining 100 people, except those on duty.

I thought to myself, even if you are a martial arts master, 100 of us will trample you to death. If you don’t teach me a lesson, I will tell you what the King of Hell’s surname is!

Mr. Wang asked Captain Liu to lead the yamen runner No. 100, and they drove towards Wei Xiaobao's bakery with an aggressive look, just like Zhang Fei collecting a debt.

… …

Wei Xiaobao was sitting in the main room drinking tea leisurely, he had no idea that a demon was about to fall from the roof and disaster was about to strike!

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, something terrible has happened!" The waiter hurriedly ran over from outside the door, shouting loudly as he ran.

"What's the hurry? Speak slowly."

"The magistrate Wang who came to ask for filial respect money the other day is here again. He brought more than 100 yamen runners and surrounded the bakery." The waiter said anxiously.

Shuang'er also came over from the back hall and said to Xiaobao, "My husband, last time they asked us to send 500 taels of silver as tribute. This time so many people came. I think they want to blackmail us."

"500 taels of silver is definitely not enough. I don't know how much silver can satisfy their appetite. Let's not worry about it for now and go and take a look." Wei Xiaobao said.

The bakery was full of yamen runners and officials, and those who wanted to buy bread had already been driven out of the bakery by these runners.

Shopkeeper Qin was tied to a pillar in the shop, while Master Wang was sitting beside him drinking tea.

"Master Wang, what are you doing?" Wei Xiaobao asked after entering the shop.

"What's the matter? Mr. Wei, you are a busy man and a hero. Last time I told you that you had to pay the filial piety money, but you seem to have forgotten. Today I am here to collect the filial piety money." Master Wang also said.

"Master Wang, I am a fool. I don't know which law of the Ryukyu Kingdom stipulates that businesses must pay tribute silver. Besides, we have paid the 10% tax to the tax office on time."

"The king's law, hehe, the words of the Shuri Castle prefect are the king's law." Master Wang said domineeringly.

This is really like a bald man becoming an emperor and disregarding the law.

"Isn't it just five hundred taels of silver as a tribute? We'll pay it." Wei Xiaobao said angrily.

"500 taels, you're so smart! There are so many of us here, can you get rid of us with just this little bit of silver?"

"How much silver do you want?"

"Didn't you just get some money from the Japanese? Add the change and pay 2 taels of silver as tribute. Also, more than a hundred brothers have come to your place today, and they can't go back empty-handed. Each of them should pay 3 taels of hard work fee. Add the two together, and you should pay taels of silver today."

"3 taels, you are more vicious than bandits!" Shuang'er said angrily.

"You don't want to give it, right? Then you will all be arrested and put in jail." Master Wang said threateningly.
