But how can we get Zhou Shaode to take out the money?

"What did you say?" Zhou Shaode looked at Xie Jianxiang with a puzzled look, "What mortgage?"[]

"That's the matter, county lord!" Xie Jianxiang said in a low voice, "Aren't you missing 30,000 yuan for your rituals this time? Do you want to pay the money yourself?"

Isn’t this nonsense? If you don’t say it yourself, can Zhou Shaode still expect others to give it to him?

"What the hell do you want to say?" Zhou Shaode's face sank again, "If you have something to say, don't hesitate."

"I mean, you don't have to pay the money yourself."

"Don't you do it yourself?" Zhou Shaode said in wonder, "Didn't I ask you to do it at the beginning? But you have no choice, what should I do if I don't do it myself."

"I have no choice, but you are different from County Master!" Xie Jianxiang said in a low voice, "You know, what Master Chenxi needs is the wealth and honor among gold, silver and money, and it is not necessary to use copper coins."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Shaode replied impatiently, "Speak quickly."

"Actually, I mean that..." Xie Jianxiang whispered to Zhou Shaode's ear and said a few words.

"Swap the money into gold and silver?" Zhou Shaode said in confusion, "What's the use of you? After the exchange, will other people's money become mine? It's a waste of time to take off your kids and fart."

"Mortgage is mortgage, not replacement!"

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course, think about it..." Xie Jianxiang said, "If you change it, you turn the money into gold and silver, but the money is still yours in the mortgage, and the gold and silver used for casting are from someone else. After the casting, you can just return the gold and silver back and get your money back."

"What's the use of this?"

"Did you forget?" Xie Jianxiang said in a low voice, "Putting the money by casting it by yourself will make you unlucky."

After hearing what Xie Jianxiang said, Zhou Shaode remembered. Indeed, Master Chenxi said that such wealth without wealth will make people lose money by putting it at home. After saying this, it seems that Xie Jianxiang’s idea is good.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaode waved his hand, "I thank you for your thoughtful thoughts, let's do it!"

Looking at Zhou Shaodezhi's proud face, Xie Jianxiang's face showed a cunning smile. Humph! Let you be happy for a while. After all the jade jewelry has been collected and all the money has been exchanged for gold and silver that is convenient for transport, I will take the initiative to start. After casting the spell, I will be afraid of you after I upgraded to three levels in a row?

When Li Quan came to Huangmei County with his jade antiques, he had no doubt about the news provided by Qin Guixi.

Because along the way, he saw at least three of his colleagues. From the way they saw him, Li Quan knew that they had recognized him, and from the look of guarding, Li Quan also understood that they were also coming from the big deal of the 100,000-yuan birthday gift in Huangmei County, just like him.

However, if it were a few years ago, not to mention 100,000 yuan, even 1 million yuan would not come. It would take two days to walk from Jiangzhou to Huangmei. If you encounter a group of strong men who have robbed the road, you will be compensated. But now it is different. One is that the world is gradually becoming peaceful, and the other is that it is protected by the Lu family escort agency.

The appearance of the Lu family escort agency is also very legendary. It is said that because a merchant was robbed near Jiangzhou and was desperate, he cried in front of the Buddha statue in Dalin Temple, and was heard by Master Daoxin. As a result, two days later, all of the robbers were captured back to Jiangzhou by the young man Lu family and his men.

As soon as this incident happened, all the vendors robbed by robbers rushed to Dalin Temple. In the end, in order not to let these people disturb Master Daoxin, the young man of the Lu family opened such an escort agency in Jiangzhou. No matter who it is, as long as you pay, you can hire a few people from this escort agency to help you deliver goods. If you are robbed, the escort agency will be responsible for helping you get the things back.

Of course, because the Lu family’s young Langjun currently has insufficient staff, this escort agency is limited to some places near Jiangzhou, but it is indeed very useful. A few years ago, a group of thieves robbed a passenger ship protected by the Lu family’s escort agency. Two days later, the escorts were all tied up and threw them to the dock in Jiangzhou.

Huangmei is two days away from Jiangzhou, and is within the scope of the escort agency.

Just when Li Quan arrived in Huangmei with his goods, he was shocked! Before he could walk from the gate of Huangmei County to the county government, he saw Jiangzhou, Ezhou, Yizhou, Huangzhou, and even Yuezhou on the way, not to mention Qizhou, there were more than a dozen shopkeepers of antique shops and seven or eight bosses of antique shops.

This time, Li Quan knew even more about this big deal of the birthday gift of 100,000 yuan.

"May I ask, this man..." When Li Quan arrived at the county government office in Huangmei County, he said something to the officer standing in front of the county government office with a smile on his face. Before he could express his purpose, he heard the officer say impatiently, "Is it a person who sells antiques?"

"Yes, yes!" Li Quan nodded repeatedly, "I am the boss of Qiruizhai, Jiangzhou..."

"Who cares where you are?" said the servant impatiently, "turn left in the door, make a list of what you have in your hand, and hand it over to County Magistrate Xie for the preliminary selection..."

"Primary election?" Li Quan said in surprise. He had never heard of any preliminary elections before.

At this time, several people surrounded Li Quan.

"Nonsense, this is a big deal of 100,000 yuan!" The county magistrate's officer glanced at him, "After the primary election, we will release the results, see if it is..." As he said, the county magistrate's officer pointed to the side with his hands, "Only those who have passed the primary exam can be qualified to participate in the re-examination!"

"Is this too complicated?" A person next to him who was probably the owner of the antique shop or the shopkeeper shouted in surprise, "Is this buying antiques or taking the tribute student!"

"Swish!" the servant sneered, "Our county master wants to give these antiques to Qi Pingding the old god in Lou Guandao. Do you think all things like cats and dogs can be used in the eyes of the old god? Do you think money is so easy to make?"

"What did you say..." The boss next to him was also of some status, with anger on his face, as if he was going to fight with this officer. Li Quan quietly squeezed out of the crowd, then mocked the list in his cuffs, followed the way the officer guided him and entered the county government.

For Li Quan, the conditions are harsh now and it doesn’t matter at all. It’s better than anything if you can make a few transactions!

After entering the yamen, Li Quan found Xie County Magistrate's room without much effort, because there were several colleagues standing in front of the door of this room. Li Quan even found Chen Sanlang, the boss of Baoyun Pavilion in Huangzhou.

After seeing Li Quan come in, Chen Sanlang also recognized him and nodded at him with a smile on his face.

"How is it, Sanlang!" Li Quan approached behind Chen Sanlang, raised his chin and hugged into the room. Chen Sanlang shook his head, looking depressed.

Soon, Li Quan knew why these colleagues were so depressed, because when someone entered the room, Li Quan clearly heard a sentence, "How many things are there to sign up?"

"Jade treasures, eighty pieces!" Whoever went in replied, "It's all on this list."

"Yeah!" This was the voice of the county magistrate, "The registration fee is eight cents..."

"Sanlang..." Li Quan said in a low voice, "What is the registration fee? When will I buy antiques, I will also need the registration fee."

"Let's extort!" Chen San also replied in a low voice, "If you don't give it, you won't be allowed to go through the first trial!"

"This..." Li Quan's face suddenly had a depressed expression like Chen San.

"County Master, this is a list of antique dealers who have come here recently!" Xie Jianxiang respectfully handed a list to Zhou Shaode, "I estimate that a 100,000-yuan jade must be only a lot."

"Well, it's not bad, thank you for your good work!" Zhou Shaode patted Xie Jianxiang's shoulder with satisfaction, "What will we do next?"

"Now the money we can move is almost all replaced with silver and gold," Xie Jianxiang said in a low voice, "Now the last 30,000 guan is all done."

"I understand," Zhou Shaode considered it, "I have arranged for someone to transport the 30,000 yuan from Huangzhou and will be delivered soon. The mortgage you mentioned..."

"Don't worry, I have already agreed with the big families in the county." Xie Jianxiang said with a respectful look on his face, "When the money comes, we will mortgage it into gold and silver, and then everything will be ready."

"I can upgrade to three levels in a row?"

"That's right!" Xie Jianxianglu gave a cunning smile, "You can upgrade to three levels in a row!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Shaode laughed loudly, and while laughing, he patted Xie Jianxiang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Lao Xie, I will definitely not forget your benefits by then."

"Don't worry, county master!" Xie Jianxiang smiled, "Isn't it just like helping me?"

After being helplessly blackmailed by the county magistrate of the deer-headed rat, Li Quan finally passed the initial examination. Then Li Quan learned that the re-examination was not in the county town of Huangmei County, but in a Taoist temple called Huilongguan not far from Huangmei County.

According to the original words of the county magistrate Xie Jianxiang, these things were to be given to the old god Qi of Louguan Dao, so the final selection of work will be completed by Master Chenxi of Louguan Dao. Therefore, all the antique shop owners who entered the re-examination need to temporarily store their antiques that were entered in the county government office, and then the county government will send them to Huilongguan to be selected and eliminated.

At this moment, Li Quan finally couldn't stand it.

You know, if the antiques he brought were converted into money, it would be thousands or tens of thousands of guan. This is still the antique industry is in a downturn. If it were during the Sui Dynasty, nothing else would be the Han Dynasty's top jade Ruyi he brought, which would be worth thousands of guan.

If this is put in the view, it is broken or lost, who is it?

Faced with the doubts of these antique shop owners, the county magistrate answered the plan to... make a white note!

Zhou Shaode would write an IOU to the owners of the antique shop. Each IOU signed Zhou Shaode’s own name, and it was also stamped with the county government seal!

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" The county magistrate stood in front of Li Quan and the others, shaking a white strip in his hand, "What is it on it? What is it on it? This is the seal of the county magistrate of Yifeng County. Don't worry, whether it is broken or lost in the sight, our Zhouxian Zun will pay compensation!"

For the sake of the county magistrate's seal, the key is that the antiques business is really in a downturn. In the end, Li Quan and the others had no choice but to hand over the antiques in their hands to the county government office, and exchanged them for a white strip written by Zhou Shaode, which was stamped with the county magistrate's seal.

"County Master, County Master..." Xie Jianxiang took a handful of white sticks and trotted into Zhou Shaode's official office. "This is the last batch. As long as you sign the words and use up the printing, everything will be finished!"

"Old thank you..." Zhou Shaode signed these white slips while asking guiltily, "Are you sure this can work?"

"It's okay!" Xie Jianxiang waved his hand, "The so-called people will not fight with officials, wait for me... Oh, no, after you have finished casting the spell, we will return these things as they are and say we won't buy them. What can they do to us?"

"I still think something is wrong..." Zhou Shaode took out the county magistrate's seal and pressed it on the white strip.

"What do you think is wrong?" Xie Jianxiang asked with a strange smile.

"I don't know!" Zhou Shaode shook his head, "I just feel empty..."

"This means that County Master, you are about to be promoted..." Xie Jianxiang neatly put away all the white sticks that Zhou Shaode had beaten and said to Zhou Shaode, "By the way, County Master, when will the 30,000 guan you sent from your family arrive?"

"Just this day or two!" Zhou Shaode then asked again, "Old Xie, I got the money from the ancestors with mortgage. You said if it's the case..."

"Don't worry, county magistrate!" Xie Jianxiang replied cleverly, "Master Chenxi has told you that this kind of spell casting will not damage these gold, silver, treasures, jade and antiques. What are you afraid of?"

"Yes!" Zhou Shaode patted his forehead, "Is it because I'm thinking too much?"

"This is the sixth sense!" Wang Hong said to Xie Jianxiang in a very low voice, "That is, remove the feeling beyond the sound, smell, touch! Some people's sixth sense is very sensitive. Xie County Magistrate, you must be careful not to get caught by the county magistrate."

"Don't worry!" Xie Jianxiang replied proudly, "He can't catch any handle."

In fact, for Xie Jianxiang now, the entire Huangmei County, that is, Wang Hong, who has been used by Taoist Master Chenxi once in front of him, is trustworthy. Because even if Wang Hong wants Taoist Master Chenxi to cast spells for him again, Taoist Master Chenxi would not do this.

In a person's mind, it doesn't matter if one or two of the seven orifices are blocked, but if it is blocked too much, it will cause death! Wang Hong was originally a product that had the seven orifices open to the six orifices, but last time he blocked one orifices. If he did it again, he would definitely die! Moreover, Wang Hong is a kind of person who is a little rich and has no big ambitions, so it is even more impossible to risk his life to do it again.

"Are all the money and antiques ready?" Wang Hong asked again.

"Yeah!" Xie Jianxiang said proudly, "I have already agreed with Hong Lei and Hong Dalang that all 30,000 guan will be exchanged for gold and silver. When the money from Zhou Shaode's family arrives tomorrow, I will directly take 100,000 guan of gold and silver and jade to find Taoist Master Chenxi and ask him to cast spells for me, and after the spells are cast..."

"Then I will tell you to thank the county magistrate or thank you for not driving..." Wang Hong raised his cup.

"No, no..." Xie Jianxiang smiled extremely hypocritical, "I haven't been promoted yet. If you want to scream, it will take two days to get appointed to you before you can scream like this!"

"Oh!" Wang Hong's face showed a sincere smile, "Isn't it the same two days earlier or two days later? Thank you, I'm really too cautious!"

"Hahahaha..." Xie Jianxiang laughed proudly. Wang Hong beside him also looked at him with a smile on his face, as if a cat was watching a mouse crawling towards the oil cylinder in front of him.

"How could it be County Magistrate Xie..." Master Chenxi looked at Xie Jianxiang with surprise, "If I remember correctly, it should be County Magistrate Zhou who asked me to cast a spell?"

"This..." Xie Jianxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Real person, that's it. Because the county magistrate didn't collect enough gold, silver and jade, he was still collecting it now. Xie is also worth a fortune, so..."

"What are you, are you fool?" A smile appeared on the corner of Master Chenxi's mouth, "Sorry, County Magistrate Xie, I will not help you, please come back!"
