Cao Zhong looked at me for a long time, and Chen Guangzu and the master's faces were also cold. I couldn't help but feel a thrust in my heart. Cold sweat fell down my back and immediately wet my entire vest.

In fact, with my current kung fu, I can easily deal with Cao Zhongzheng and others. Even if they know how to do it, I am not afraid. However, if I take off my body, it does not mean that the family members of Lanyuan can take off their body.

So, no matter what, I cannot take risks, nor can I let Guan Zhongmin show off. So, I will kneel down when I force Guan Zhongmin.

I have also changed. If I could not kill myself in modern times, I would not kneel down. In ancient times, it would not work. It would be normal to kneel down as a county magistrate. I did not have the possibility of being in a state of affairs, and I would not be able to kneel down without kneeling down.

As long as I can save my brothers and sisters in Qiuxiang, let alone kneeling, I will even knock my head. No matter how hard my temper or how strong my backbone is, will it work?

So I had to kneel down very neatly without any ideological struggle in my heart.

Just as Guan Zhongmin and I knelt down together, Cao Zhong was getting up and stopped me and said, "Hey, Brother Song, you misunderstood. You went to the Chen family at that time, and it was the Chen family who asked you to be the chef. I have already verified this matter. Otherwise, how could I think of taking you over?"

I looked at Cao Zhongzheng blankly, then at Chen Guangzu who was laughing beside me, and felt a sense of surviving the disaster.

Oh, my God, people are so scary! You actually joked about me like this.

I couldn't help but tell the truth with grievance: "Mr. Cao, you scared me to death. I am naturally timid. Don't scare me like this anymore."

Seeing my embarrassing look, Cao Zhongzheng and Chen Guangzu couldn't help laughing happily. Chen Guangzu's elders said angrily: "Brother Zhan Yong, you are just a chef. How could you do the job of breaking into the county yard and killing the county magistrate? Haha... You are ridiculous."

I quickly laughed with me, and for the first time I was very happy that someone said that I was the cook looking down on me.

I felt secretly happy, yes, what can I do as a chef? I hope you will always think so.

When I was secretly glad that I passed the test, a cold voice suddenly said, "I heard that on the day when the Iron Axe Gang was destroyed, it was the Iron Axe Gang casino that the official Song went to. And he won nine thousand taels of gold in a bet?"

My heart skipped a beat and turned my head to look at the master who had been talking but not smiling much at the table.

This master is not old, but he nodded at the age of twenty. There are few such young masters. Generally, county magistrates look for people and look for older and rich pen officials. However, this person is loved by Cao Zhongzheng at a young age. It can be said that he is following him closely and taking him wherever he goes. I have never dared to neglect him after several contacts. But he always gives people the feeling that he is not far or near.

This time he met, he almost never said anything. Although he was laughing sometimes, he was not as casual as Cao Zhongzheng and Chen Guangzu, as if he was perfunctory.

And now this seems to be his first time speaking, but he hit the nail on the head.

Needless to say, the fact that he was still suspicious in his heart.

My mind was constantly moving, thinking about what words to use to dispel his suspicion.

I slowly stood up and bowed, "I'm not to hide it. I'm a poor boy. Because I know some cooking skills, I can still help my poor brothers and sisters at home to have a full meal, and can earn some household income by buying oil. Maybe I don't know the miserable life of our poor bitch, so let's take us as an example. I finally lived a good life but was targeted by the Tiexao Gang. I had to give them the business of buying oil for free. Otherwise, I would have to pay a thousand taels of gold. Where did I get the money? Fortunately, the Xie family of Kuaidao Gang knew my difficulties and lent me silver to help me overcome the difficulties."

"You and the Kuaidao Gang should be old acquaintances, otherwise how could you easily lend you a thousand taels of gold?" The master was not easy to coax, so he asked the key point directly.

I smiled bitterly and said, "I have never known the Kuaida Gang, and I didn't expect them to lend me silver. But I once heard that Kuaida Gang has three dangerous levels. As long as anyone can pass the three levels, he will be able to respond to all requests. In desperation, I thought to myself that it would be better to try it, so I threw my life and passed the Kuaida Gang's three dangerous levels. I was lucky enough to get their promise to borrow a thousand taels of gold from me." In fact, this is also loophole, but fortunately, Kuaida Gang's three dangerous levels have always been famous. If anyone passes the three levels, he will respond to all requests.

Seeing that the master didn't ask much, I continued, "That day, under the supervision of Master Xie's Gang, I went to the Iron Axe Gang's casino, which was also a blessing. I had good luck. I was lucky enough to bet, but I happened to bet and won nine thousand taels of gold."

Cao Zhongzheng and Chen Guangzu nodded in surprise while listening.

The master said, "Song Guanren is so lucky that he won nine thousand taels of gold at once."

The master obviously didn't believe me very much, but he didn't know if he didn't believe me, or something else.

But now that things have come to this point, I have no reason to change my words. I continued to bite the bullet and said, "To be honest, the young man is not only good at cooking, but also learned some gambling skills. That day, it was also due to luck. I really won 9,000 taels of gold."

"It seems that the assets of official Song are quite rich." The master smiled.

I pretended to be extremely regretful and said, "Oh, don't mention that the nine thousand gold is empty. Although I won nine thousand taels of gold that day, when I arrived at the gate of the Iron Axe Gang, I was stopped by Xie San Master of Xie, who said that they would ask for the accounts and did not ask me to ask for the accounts. Because I borrowed the money from the Kuaida Gang, how could it be so easy to refuse, so I didn't go. In the end, Xie San Master just told me that the Iron Axe Gang was killed by the thief, leaving only two gold axes, which were given to me, and also left the thousand taels of gold I borrowed. I originally thought that I would give me some benefits in the future, but except for giving me a few valuable grain shops, I didn't give me anything else. I was just a kid from a poor alley, how dare I argue with the Xie family, so this matter was over."

After saying that, he sighed and pretended to be in pain of losing gold and silver.

Cao Zhong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, Chen Guangzu patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Brother Song, this money is something outside of your body. Besides, the money you get from gambling is not a blatant way. How can you do business now? "

I hurriedly said, "My lord is, what I taught is," and then I said, "By the way, the pair of golden axes that the boy got were still at home and didn't dare to move. When I thought it was a dead person, I didn't dare to move. No, if I need it, I will send the golden axes tomorrow. However, sirs, I have a word first. Although it is a golden axe, it is just two valuable items that are gold plated. If you don't believe it, I will take it tomorrow and you will know it at a glance."

When Cao Zhongzheng and Chen Guangzu heard that the things that were dead were not made of real gold, they were not interested. Cao Zhong waved his hand and said, "Brother Song is so worried. What's the use of this official's use to ask for those things that were dead. Just stay. Just stay."

While nodding and smiling, I pretended to look at the master unintentionally, and saw that he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

But seeing that he did not give up any more questions that were irritating, he barely felt at ease.

At the same time, I kept thinking about whether there are any loopholes, and I must make up for it quickly, otherwise the master will definitely see the flaws.

Afterwards, Cao Zhongzheng and others did not ask any more questions, but told me about my official position.

I felt a little more at ease, but I actually knew that Cao Zhongzheng was not suspicious of me at all, but did not care about the life and death of the Iron Axe Gang, as long as I was not the one who killed the former county magistrate.
