The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 168 Betel Nut King

Several major sects in Jiangnan hold martial arts trials.

The top ten warriors can get silver.

The first place warrior can get 8,000 taels of silver, the second place warrior can get 5,000 taels of silver, the third place warrior can get 3,000 taels of silver, and the remaining ten warriors can get 500 taels of silver.

For the warriors who have been wandering around the world for many years, the silver that the top three can get is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

The most important thing is that the top three warriors can also choose to join those big sects!

This is an opportunity for those young warriors. If they can get the guidance of those famous and upright elders, their martial arts will only be improved! In the future, they will have a strong backing in the world.

Although these martial arts trials have been founded by multiple sects over the years, the silver is funded by Shen Sancai.

Therefore, the Shen family is widely praised in both the black and white worlds, and has won the attention of those Jianghu heroes.

Shen Sancai's own betel nut business also benefited from this and became more prosperous. There were no bandits or mountain robbers to intercept the long-distance trafficking.

The martial arts test meeting along the way was in full swing, with red lanterns hung up and fanfare. The Shen family sent many temporary workers in advance to build the martial arts stage. The wandering knights and warriors were all eager to try.

However, Wan Qing had just returned to the tax collector's office when he saw three or five loads of gold and silver neatly placed in the mansion!

The clerk came up with a flattering face.

When Wan Qing heard his clerk say that it was sent by Shen Sancai, he immediately flew into a rage, kicked over the boxes of gold and silver, and threw two angry slaps, and the two clerks beside him wailed and fell to the ground.

"Without my order, how dare you take these gold and silver?!"

The two clerks were knocked to the ground and were really shocked. They didn't expect the eunuch to react so strongly. They covered their faces and grimaced, crying:

"Sir, these loads of gold and silver are more than 5,000 taels, which is already a lot. The previous eunuch Wang only took 3,000 taels of silver"

"Sir, Shen Sancai's servants insisted on giving these gold and silver, and I couldn't stop them."

Looking at these clerks who covered their faces and felt extremely wronged.

Wan Qing suppressed his anger and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two clerks originally thought that he thought these gold and silver were too little.

Although these two people were of low status and had little influence, they were old hands who had collected taxes for many years in the officialdom. In the future, they would be useful to settle accounts.

He yelled with a gloomy face:

"Such a small amount of money, look at your behavior!"

"You two, if you dare to act on your own next time, you won't have to bear the head on your shoulders!"

"Forget it. Don't do it again. Go to the account office and get ten taels of silver each, and treat it as a reward from our family."

"Send someone to return these gold and silver to Shen Sancai without any difference! Don't try to do anything here. If you ruin our plan, you will lose your life."

After giving a sweet date, Wan Qing flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"Yes, yes, I obey your command, I obey your command!"

The two clerks on the spot looked at Wan Qing's back at a loss, but anyway, they received another five taels of silver and knelt down to kowtow and thank him.

The two of them smiled bitterly at each other. They didn't know what the new tax collector had planned to do, and they wanted to return all the gold and silver? !

It was really strange!

Could it be that this eunuch Wan is an upright official? !

However, compared with the previous tax collector Wang, this eunuch Wan is really violent, so it is better not to provoke him.

The two could not figure out Wan Qing's thoughts, and their evil thoughts about the two loads of gold and silver disappeared instantly. That night, they hurriedly returned the gold and silver to the Shen Mansion.

At dusk the next day, Shen Sancai came to visit in person.

What he, Shen Sancai, believed in was nothing more than the principle of harmony and wealth. Harmony before wealth, harmony can make wealth!

If you have a good relationship with those officials, you will definitely not suffer any loss!

How to have a good relationship?

That is to send money out! Send it out, and make peace, and wealth will come back continuously!

There is no official who does not love money!

Only this new tax collector returned a large sum of money.

In the end, isn't it because you think the money is not enough? !

Then what if I give you another five loads of gold and silver? These gold and silver treasures are just a drop in the bucket of my family property.

Shen Sancai brought his servants and personally brought five loads of gold and silver. He was full of confidence and strode into the tax collector's office.

He waited in the lobby for a while, but saw a young eunuch in a scarlet official robe walked in silently.

Haha, he is really just a young man, without any scheming, impatient and angry, asking me for money like a lion.

However, I have plenty of money, but it depends on whether you can do it and listen to me.

With such a plan in his mind and contempt for the visitor, Shen Sancai knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

"I pay my respects to the tax collector!"

Wan Qing slowly sat down in the main seat, and without saying anything polite to ask him to stand up, he could not help but say in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh, you are a great prince! The King of Betel Nuts, how can you condescend to pay your respects to a small official of our family? Isn't this embarrassing for us!"

Shen Sancai's old eyes suddenly rolled, and his heart skipped a beat. He realized in an instant that the eunuch might have said something sarcastic.

"Your Excellency is joking. How dare I be called a prince? I just earn a few hard-earned money all year round, and my reputation is far-reaching. It's just that the people call me that privately. It's not worth mentioning. Please don't take it seriously."

Wan Qing sneered, raised his hand and knocked over a teacup beside him, and the debris splashed onto Shen Sancai.
