C1957 Could It be That He Wanted to Make a Move
Old Village Head hurriedly asked when he saw the leader robust man frown with a slightly unhappy expression.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Old geezer, the number is wrong. You want to send us away just because you got ten gold coins?"
"If it were not for our Kuo Family, would your village have survived until now?"
The leading robust middle-aged man had a questioning expression as he glared at Old Village Head.
Old Village Head didn't know what to do when he heard the leader robust man's words. He hurriedly smiled apologetically.
"Master, according to your rules, the village has to pay ten gold coins a year, and this is the equivalent of ten gold coins?"
Just as Old Village Head finished this sentence, robust man, who was in the lead, punched Old Village Head.
Before Old Village Head could react, he was sent flying a few meters away.
When the surrounding villagers saw Old Village Head being knocked to the ground, they hurried forward and helped Old Village Head up.
"From now on, the annual salary of the village will be increased to 20 gold coins!"
When the villagers heard this, their faces all revealed expressions of shock.
robust man, the leader of the group, sneered at Old Village Head and the rest as she said in a disdainful tone.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and gather them. If you can't, then beware of burning down my village!"
Hearing the angry roar of the leader robust man, Old Village Head showed a helpless expression and nodded to the other villagers.
When the villagers saw the scene in front of them, they had no choice but to return to their own houses to gather.
Seeing the villagers return to their houses to collect money, the men standing behind them couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"According to the rules of the Kuo Family, every village should pay ten gold. Why is Elder Brother Gai …"
robust man, who was addressed as Elder Brother Gai, scolded without waiting for one of the middle-aged men to finish speaking.
"Are you stupid? It's only ten gold coins, where are we supposed to go? "
"What does Elder Brother Gai mean?"
"Kuo Family gives me one gold coin per month, which is not enough for a few drinks. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to earn some money, wouldn't I have to miss out on this opportunity?"
Hearing Elder Brother Gai's words, the middle-aged men understood what he meant.
Kuo Family had set a salary of ten gold coins, so the extra gold would naturally fall into their pockets.
The other middle-aged men looked excited, and some of them couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Brother Gai, how much are you planning to accept?"
"Are you deaf? Didn't I say it before? I'll collect twenty gold coins a year!"
Hearing the leader of the group, robust man and Elder Brother Gai, the middle-aged men revealed a greedy look on their faces.
According to Elder Brother Gai's intention, each village would have to pay an extra ten gold coins a year.
Seeing the other middle-aged men looking over excitedly, Elder Brother Gai revealed a smile on his face.
"You guys don't know what kind of person Elder Brother Gai is, but if Elder Brother Gai eats meat, you guys will definitely get some soup!"
Hearing Elder Brother Gai's words, the few middle-aged men present hurriedly laughed.
"Elder Brother Gai, our brothers vow to follow you to their deaths!"
While Elder Brother Gai was talking with the other middle-aged men, the other villagers continued to stay with Old Village Head.
Seeing that the villagers were still collecting the gold coins, Elder Brother Gai's face revealed a happy expression.
"This bunch of bumpkins, it seems like they have quite a few secrets. If I don't ruthlessly collect them, I'll be letting myself down!"
Just as Elder Brother Gai finished speaking, Old Village Head led the villagers and walked towards them.
Soon, Old Village Head arrived in front of Elder Brother Gai and the rest. He respectfully handed the small bag to Elder Brother Gai.
Elder Brother Gai and the rest all revealed a smile. When Elder Brother Gai opened the cloth bag and counted, his face gradually became gloomy.
"Milord, we …"
Seeing Elder Brother Gai's face darken, Old Village Head quickly explained.
Unfortunately, before Old Village Head could finish his explanation, Elder Brother Gai raised his leg and kicked him.
Bang! A muffled sound was heard.
Old Village Head was kicked and sent flying a few meters away. The villagers hurriedly helped Old Village Head up.
At this moment, Elder Brother Gai's face was hideous as he glared in the direction of Old Village Head's group.
"Hey, geezer, are you messing with us?"
"Do you think we are beggars? You want to send us away with just three gold coins? "
Old Village Head, who was helped up, said with a tone full of fear.
"My lord, every year, the village pays ten gold coins, and there isn't much left of it. These are the savings of all the villagers."
Elder Brother Gai immediately sneered when he heard Old Village Head's words.
"Old man, who are you lying to?" Such a big village can't even gather ten gold coins? "
"My lord, to be honest, there are only a few hunters in the village other than the women and the elders. We really can't gather any …"
"If I don't get 10 gold coins today, I'll burn down the entire village!"
Old Village Head and the few hunters did not expect Elder Brother Gai's group to be so unreasonable.
The hunters gritted their teeth. Their eyes were full of anger as if they wanted to do something.
There was no helping it, Elder Brother Gai and the others had pushed them to the brink, they had no way out.
It was just as Old Village Head said, the village was already living a tight life by paying ten gold coins a year.
These three gold coins were saved by the villagers because they were frugal.
The middle-aged men led by Elder Brother Gai saw the hunters clenching their fists tightly and had an angry look on their faces.
Elder Brother Gai immediately sneered at the hunters, and said with a tone full of calmness.
"Looking at your expressions, it's hard to believe that you want to make a move …"0
Before Elder Brother Gai could finish his sentence, a loud sound was heard.
