As dusk approached, Deng Ren followed a team of county soldiers back to the county government office.

"Let's go, everyone."

He greeted the county soldiers in the team enthusiastically, but a few of them just glanced at him indifferently and left on their own.

Seeing this scene, Deng Ren's smile froze.

But there were also those who were willing to say hello to him. A colleague patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't pay attention to them. They think they are upright, that's just their luck. If they have experienced our experience, they will understand that there is no choice at all."

"Um……"

Deng Ren nodded silently.

After saying goodbye to several colleagues who were willing to talk to him, Deng Ren left the county government and returned home.

Recently, he has not been very good in the county government office. It can be said that his status is a bit embarrassing. The reason is that when he attacked Heihu Village last year, he was unfortunately captured by the Heihu thief and became the latter's prisoner.

Perhaps God felt pity for him. The evil bandits of the Black Tiger Thieves did not kill him, but forced him to sign a confession that he promised to be the other party's inner supporter, and then exchanged them for the bandits captured by the officers and soldiers.

He was desperate at that time because the Black Tiger Thieves secretly told them to issue many instructions to them, such as asking them to try to burn the food and grass from the officers and soldiers camps.

However, what was even more desperate was that at that time, the three county magistrates guessed the trick of the Black Tiger Thieves and interrogated them harshly. Many people could not withstand the interrogation of their county magistrates and confessed on the spot.

For example, he Deng Ren.

When Deng Ren thought of this, he expressed his deep respect to Ma Gai, the county magistrate of Kunyang.

Because it was the respectable county lieutenant who protected him. Unlike other self-righteous guys, Ma County lieutenant was very considerate of them. Deng Ren has not forgotten the Ma County lieutenant's words at that time, "It's good to be alive."

It is precisely because of the protection of the Ma County Ma lieutenant that Deng Ren can continue to work in the county government office and keep this job that depends on to support his family.

But unfortunately, the other captains and county soldiers did not understand them and looked down on them for compromising the Black Tiger Thieves. Although due to the words of County Ma, those people did not dare to openly exclude them, but the private alienation could be seen by anyone.

But this is powerless even the Ma County Ma Guard.

Alas, I don't know how long this errand can last...

With a sigh in his heart, Deng Ren headed towards home.

His family is in the southwest of Kunyang County. There are four people in the family, including his mother, wife, and a daughter. Although his family of four lives a little embarrassed, they can still support it. It is naturally much better than some families in the city that can't take the rest.

Well, speaking of this, the lives of those poor families have been much better recently, because someone has opened a charity house in the city, providing vegetarian dishes and vegetarian rice to hundreds of people free of charge every day.

Although he was embarrassed to go, his wife and children often took their daughter to the charity house for meals.

For this reason, Deng Ren criticized his wife several times.

You should know that Yishe is a horizontal plaque with the word "Black Tiger" hanging on it. Is that a good place to go?

Every time he patrols the street, he passes by the Heihu Yishe gate, Deng Ren is frightened because once he recognizes that there is a clerk in the Heihu Yishe, very much like a bandit he saw when he was imprisoned in the Heihu Village internal prison.

Perhaps Ishihara, the judge of Shin-Catcher is correct, and the Black Tiger Yoshi-She was opened by the Black Tiger Thieves!

But he didn't understand why those vicious bandits ran to his county to open a charity house? Should they be drugged in the food and the medicine killed the whole city?

But this charity house has been open for two or three months, and hundreds of people come to eat every day, but no one has been turned over by medicine.

Deng Ren couldn't figure it out.

No one dared to reveal this secret, but he had told him privately that he trusted most.

At that time, County Ma told him very seriously that he would pay close attention to Heihu Yishe and told him not to make any statements so as not to leak the news.

After all, if Heihu Yishe was really a black tiger thief and had an ulterior motive, he who exposed their secrets might be retaliated by Heihu thief.

As expected, it’s better for Ma County Ma to understand his subordinates.

With such emotion, Deng Ren returned to his home.

At this time, a carriage was parked on the dirt road in front of his yard.

Although it looks a bit old, it is at least a carriage. Why does it appear here?

Deng Ren did not think that people living nearby could have money to rent or even buy a carriage.

But, what if you care about him, it’s better to take care of other people’s affairs these days.

Thinking of this, Deng Ren turned a blind eye to the carriage and walked straight to his yard.

However, at this time, someone lifted the curtains on the carriage window and chuckled and called out: "Deng Ren."

Deng Ren subconsciously turned his head and immediately recognized the man in the carriage, with a slightly unnatural look on his face.

He recognized the other party, Chen Cai, the manager of the Heihu Yishe who brought people to his county government office two days ago, who sued Captain Shi Yuanshi.

“Get on the bus.”

Chen Cai said lightly, then put down the curtain.

“…”

Deng Ren was so shocked that he was sweating coldly. He looked around and then, under the cold eyes of the coachman, he got on the carriage with a stern finger.

He dared not resist because he had vaguely guessed the other party's identity - the Black Tiger Thief!

When they got on the carriage, there were two people sitting in the carriage. Chen Cai sat in the middle of the carriage, and another person sat in the corner with a pile of cloth bags beside him.

Holding the last trace of luck, Deng Ren sat down in the car and said with a smile on his face: "You are Manager Chen from Heihu Yishe? I wonder what it is worth to get off the car?"

Chen Cai didn't say anything, took out a stack of paper from his arms, glanced at Deng Ren from time to time, and then flipped through the stack of paper. Finally, he pulled out one of the papers and placed them in the carriage, and slowly pushed towards Deng Ren.

Just a glance, Deng Ren could not stop the cold sweat on his forehead because he had already recognized that the piece of paper was the letter of vote he had forced to sign and write in Heihu Village.

"You, you are..." Deng Ren was almost crying, thinking to himself, why are these black tiger thieves so ghosts?

Looking at Deng Ren's weak look as if he was crying without tears, Chen Cai felt really funny.

He coughed and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"I know, I know." Deng Ren replied with a sad face.

Seeing this, Chen Cai pointed to the letter of vote with his finger and said lightly: "Since you signed this letter of vote that day, you are ours. As long as you did not do anything to betrayal, you don't need to worry."

"Yes, yes..." Deng Ren agreed repeatedly: "I will never dare to betray me."

"That's good."

Chen Cai nodded and said with a serious stern voice: "Today I'm here to say hello to see if you are still willing to be a part of us. If you are willing, then you and I are brothers. Not only will I not harm you, but I will also give you some benefits."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man sitting in the corner pushed a heavy cloth bag near Chen Cai and Deng Ren. During this period, Deng Ren heard a clattering sound, just like the sound of a large bag of copper coins.

"This..." Deng Ren secretly looked at Chen Cai.

Chen Cai smiled and said, "Since you are my brother, how can you sit back and see you in a difficult situation? I heard that your family is not in good condition, so you can accept this money first. As long as you are honest and obedient in the future, I will not treat you badly..."

Looking at the heavy cloth bag, Deng Ren swallowed.

According to his estimate, there were at least a thousand copper coins in this cloth bag, even two thousand and three thousand...

Based on his monthly salary, this cloth bag is at least worth his annual income, so it is naturally fake if you don’t want to be moved, but the problem is that Deng Ren really dares not accept it...

“Hmm?”

Seeing that Deng Ren had not taken action for a long time, Chen Cai slowly closed the smile on his face, and his tone became more and more cold: "What? I think Chen's money is dirty?"

"No, no."

Seeing Chen Cai's face unchanged, Deng Ren was shocked and quickly transferred the cloth bag to him.

After pulling it, he realized how heavy the cloth bag was. Obviously, there were more copper coins in it than he expected.

However, he couldn't be happy and forced a smile to ask, "What do you... want small ones to do?"

"shallow!"

Chen Cai learned from Zhao Yu's tone and snorted coldly: "I'm giving you money to you to do things. Can I let you do things for me if I don't give money?"

"Can..." Deng Ren nodded, and he felt a little confused.

Looking at Deng Ren's dazed look, Chen Cai said seriously: "Don't think too much, this is purely the care of the great leader for his brothers, please accept it."

"Then... the young one will accept it with a smile." Deng Ren was skeptical, but he did not dare to refuse the bag of money and forced a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Cai smiled and nodded with satisfaction and said, "Remember, since he has stepped into the threshold of my Black Tiger Village, he is the people of my Black Tiger Village. We will not show mercy to traitors, but we will not treat our brothers unfairly... My Black Tiger Village does not want to be enemies with the county government, nor does it want to harm the elders of Kunyang. We just want to gain a foothold here, but someone refuses to let me wait and make trouble all day long..."

"You are talking about...Stone Captain?" Deng Ren asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Chen Cai chuckled.

In fact, he just said it casually. After all, if he talked about his great ambitions of the Black Tigers, the guy in front of him would be frightened - let alone this kid, even the county magistrate Liu Pi and county magistrate Ma Gai would probably be shocked.

But unexpectedly, Deng Ren misunderstood what he said casually, mistakenly thinking that they were targeting Ishihara...

The man surnamed Shi was at best a pawn, and he was worthy of being an obstacle for his Black Tigers?

Just a mantis arm is in a chariot!

After listening to the great leader explaining his future ambitions of Heihu Village, Chen Cai firmly believed in this.

However, since Deng Ren misunderstood, there is no need for Chen Cai to explain anything. After all, Deng Ren is just a pawn, so there is no need for the pawn to know too many secrets.

So Chen Cai laughed it off.

After a while, Deng Ren got off the car with the bag of money and drove away with the carriage with a little dazedness.
