When County Magistrate Chen heard Yu Anran's words, he couldn't spit out an old phlegm on the other party.

He only gave him 5,000 taels of silver, which was to let him infringe on his family and fill the 45,000 taels he had lost.

Why did he, the county magistrate, pay the money for the government affairs?

"Judge Yu Tong, not five thousand taels, but fifty thousand taels." County Magistrate Chen wanted to see the Duke and say the rebels' request, but seeing Yu Tong's attitude, he didn't plan to wait any longer and said it directly.

Yu Anran was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "How much money did you say the rebels want just now?"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver." County Magistrate Chen stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers.

Yu Anran's smile was restrained and said calmly: "How did you talk about it? You dare to agree to 50,000 taels of silver, because you are afraid you don't want to get any benefits from it!"

Fifty thousand taels of silver are not a small amount.

It’s okay to say that a few thousand taels of silver have risen to tens of thousands of taels of silver. No one is willing to give out such a large sum of silver.

"Who dares to ask for any benefit? The thief general of the rebel army asked for 50,000 taels. The thief general of the rebel army could not help. Moreover, the thief general of the rebel army directly threatened that without 50,000 taels of silver, they would not retreat." County Magistrate Chen said with a bitter look on his face.

He also knew that 50,000 taels of silver was not a small amount, but he couldn't give it to him!

"If you don't give it, a group of mud legs dares to ask for 50,000 taels of silver. Do they know how big is the 50,000 taels of silver piled together?" Yu Anran said with a cold face.

County Magistrate Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Otherwise, let's talk to the Duke Zun and see what his attitude is?"

He didn't want to give the rebels outside the city 50,000 taels of silver, but he knew that he could not refuse to give it, otherwise who would know if the document he had pressed his handprint would be sent to the court by the rebels.

Without a background background, he knew very well that the authenticity of the document was no longer important. Once it fell into the hands of others, he would likely become someone else's scapegoat, not only would he lose his life, but he might even have to pay his family's lives together.

"Even if the prefect Lin knew about this, he would never agree." Yu Anran snorted coldly.

County Magistrate Chen said embarrassedly: "Before the Xiaguan left the city, the government asked repeatedly that as long as he came back, he would go to the government office to see him immediately. How about the magistrate?"

Since Yu Tongzong couldn't make sense, he decided to focus on Prefect Lin. In short, for the 50,000 taels of silver from the rebels, he decided to do his best to complete it.

"Forget it, you can't control anything. I will go with you to see the Lord of the Mansion." Yu Anran said, turned around and walked towards the horse road connecting the city.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Chen hurriedly followed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the sound of cannons sounded outside the city, and the defenders on the city walls avoided cannons under the city and on their backs.

Yu Anran, who was walking slowly, was so scared that she leaned against the wall brick on one side, and her hands kept the wall tightly so that she would not sit on the horse road.

"What's going on? Didn't you talk to the rebels? Why did they still fire? How did you talk?" Yu Anran scolded the County Magistrate Chen who was following behind without any mercy.

"I don't know whether the subordinates know!" County Magistrate Chen was very helpless.

I also felt that the rebels outside the city were not moral and had agreed to withdraw their troops as long as they were given silver. Although the 50,000 taels of silver had not been sent out of the city, they should not have finished the negotiations and fired fire into the city.

"You are also a waste, you can't do such a small thing well." Seeing that County Magistrate Chen didn't know anything, Yu Anran immediately turned around and stopped calling.

"Don't panic, two masters, I will escort you down the city wall."

After the words came, a general ran over from the city wall, and there were also several soldiers following him.

As soon as he approached, he helped Yu Anran, the general, up, and the soldiers who followed him to help him.

"What's going on outside the city? Did the rebels attack the city?" Yu Anran asked nervously to the boss who was helping him.

The president said respectfully: "Don't worry, the rebels' artillery this time is the same as before. They only fired the artillery and did not attack the city. The judge can return to the government office with confidence."

After hearing what he said, Yu Anran was really much better.

Although my legs were still a little weak under the sound of cannons, there was no big problem with walking.

There was a sedan chair waiting there under the city. After getting off the city wall, Yu Anran got into the sedan chair as soon as possible and told the sedan chair owner to go to the government office.

The sedan chair carried the sedan chair and walked up from under the city wall, and led the general and the soldiers to guard the sedan chair next to the sedan chair.

County Magistrate Chen also sat in his sedan chair and asked the sedan chairman to follow Yu Anran's sedan chair.

The people who can ride in the sedan chair in Kaifeng City are basically big figures in the city. When riding in the sedan chair in the green official sedan chair, there are soldiers guarding one side. Anyone knows a great master sitting inside.

On the way to the government office, pedestrians saw the green official sedan guard protected by soldiers and avoided the road early on, and passed by the official sedan guard first.

With the road unobstructed, Yu Anran's sedan quickly rushed outside the government office.

Yu Anran, who walked out of the sedan chair, said to the president who escorted him all the way, "Okay, you guys go back."

"The last one will leave." The general bowed and bowed, took the soldiers with him and turned around and left.

At this time, the sedan chair of the Chen County Magistrate who was following behind also arrived outside the government office.

After getting out of the sedan chair, he followed Yu Anran and entered the government office together.

All the seventh rank and above officials in Kaifeng Prefecture City, except for the generals guarding the city, all other officials gathered in the lobby of the government office.

In addition to the Henan Governor Yang He, even the Henan General Chen Yongfu and the Chief of the Zhou Palace were also in the Kaifeng Palace.

As for Yang He, no one cares about him anymore.

Now Yang He cannot even move a soldier. There is no one around him except a few old servants who came to Henan's home with him.

"Master, I've brought County Magistrate Chen back." Yu Anran, who was the first to enter the Houya, said to the prefect Lin, who was sitting on the left.

And because Yang He was not there, the main position was vacant.

At this time, County Magistrate Chen happened to come in.

"Secretary of the emperor, please see the prefect." County Magistrate Chen bowed to the prefect Lin.

"No need to be polite." Now that the powerful prefect Lin raised his right hand, he immediately said, "Mr. Chen came back from outside the city, have he brought back any good news?"

County Magistrate Chen said what An Ran said again, and emphasized that as long as the rebels received 50,000 taels of silver, they would let Kaifeng Prefecture City go.

"Fifty thousand taels? Do these bandits know how much the 50,000 taels of silver is? They dare to open their mouths and ask for 50,000 taels of silver." As soon as the magistrate of Chen finished speaking, Chen Yongfu's voice immediately rang.
