Chapter 174
"Hey hey... prepare the coffin!" The fat guy explained happily.

"Prepare a coffin for me?" Magistrate Zhao continued to ask strangely.

"Uh! My lord, Caomin's name is Xiao Mi. I run a coffin shop. I do this to serve my family. First, I will help you measure the size. This will make funeral affairs quick and convenient!" said the fat guy Xiao Mi with a smile.

"I said Xiao Mi! Then according to what you said just now, wouldn't I be going to heaven soon?" County magistrate Zhao didn't blame the fat guy for his rudeness, but instead discussed it politely with him. up.

"Hehe, if I said it straight, my lord wouldn't lose his temper!" The fat guy Xiao Mi also asked worriedly at this time.

"Not only will I not lose my temper, but I will also be very happy!" County Magistrate Zhao said to the fat boy very solemnly.

"Really not angry?"

"Never get angry!" The two confirmed each other again.

The fat guy saw the seriousness on Mr. Zhao's face, as if he believed his words, he laughed again, and wiped his nose before continuing: "I think it's a pity that you have been in office for less than three months! "

Mr. Zhao's book boy, Zhao Fu, immediately raised his hands angrily when he heard the fat guy's words, as if he was going to beat the fat guy up, but was stopped by County Magistrate Zhao just in time.

"Okay! Alright! Don't get angry, don't get angry!" County Magistrate Zhao ordered his bookboy after stopping him.

"So fast? Then what if I haven't complained for more than three months?" County magistrate Zhao didn't continue to care about his angry school boy, but continued to chat with the fat boy with great interest.

"Hey! A coffin is worth ten taels of silver. If you've been there for more than three months! I'll make it cheaper for you, and I'll give you a % discount!" The fat guy continued to solicit his business in a serious manner.

"% off? Good! % off!" County magistrate Zhao was taken aback when he heard the fat guy's answer, but he still accepted it with a smile, and then continued to ask: "What if I am older than four months?"

"% off?" "Five months?" "% off!" "Six months?" The two of them were arguing with each other like this. Very speechless, they raised their foreheads and sighed.

"Hey hey... According to my calculations, it's hard to say one word!" The fat guy finally shook his head and didn't continue to discount, but he continued: "But! Well, if you exceed six months, the coffin will Give it to you for free!"

"Okay! Okay!" County Magistrate Zhao agreed in surprise when he heard this, "Xiao Mi! That's fine, let's make a bet. If the county magistrate has been here for more than six months, I will win you ten taels, if it is not more than six months, I will lose you ten taels, how about it?"

"Really?" The fat boy asked in surprise.

"Really." County magistrate Zhao immediately responded, "All the people present are witnesses, how about it? Do you dare to bet?"

"I'll bet with you!" Hearing this, the fat boy was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he agreed without hesitation, and then stretched out a hand to County Magistrate Zhao and said, "It's a deal!"

"Okay! High-five for proof!" County magistrate Zhao also smiled and extended his hand when he saw this.

Just when he was about to high-five with the fat boy, a cold light flew towards County Magistrate Zhao quickly. Fortunately, County Magistrate Zhao reacted quickly, and he caught the dart with a single move of his hand.

When the crowd saw this, they immediately panicked, squatting down one after another, fearing that they would also encounter accidents.

But the master and the catcher immediately protected Zhao County Magistrate, and the master shouted loudly: "Sun catcher, catch the assassin!"

"Yes!" Catcher Sun also immediately shouted to his subordinates who were still standing at the door: "Catch the assassin!"

A group of detectives chased after the dart one by one, and the crowd returned to normal after the detectives went to catch the assassin, but they were still discussing what happened just now in low voices.

"Eh! My lord, I think you're doomed. I won't bet with you anymore. I'll go first!" The fat boy saw that he had just made a bet with Zhao County Magistrate, and he had encountered such a crisis. He wanted to reject the bet, so he turned around and ran away.

"Hey..." County magistrate Zhao didn't want the fat guy to leave like this, and raised his hand to stop him: "Wait, wait! Isn't my life still alive? Huh?"

County magistrate Zhao walked up to the fat boy who had stopped, stretched out his hands, and spoke to the fat boy in a pleasant manner, which meant that he hadn't lost the bet with the fat boy yet.

"Ah! Look at the current situation! You will be the shortest-lived county magistrate in our Tai'an County!" The fat guy pointed at the county magistrate Zhao and said tremblingly.

"Bold!" The master immediately walked up to the fat guy and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you talking about, you? Come, someone, arrest him!"

After hearing all the conversations between the two of them, Master Liu couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at the fat guy viciously, and he didn't forget to give orders to the policemen.

"Master, Master!" County Magistrate Zhao raised his hand to stop Master Liu and said, "What is his crime?"

"My lord, he disobeyed and cursed you, he deserves death, I..." Master Liu looked at Master Zhao's expression and gradually didn't know what to say.

"In this county, I like this kind of outspoken people." County Magistrate Zhao pulled the fat guy away from Master Liu, so that the fat guy wouldn't be so nervous, and then asked the fat guy, "Do you dare to bet?"

The fat guy Xiao Mi hesitated and didn't immediately agree. Magistrate Zhao glanced around and immediately guessed what the fat guy was thinking.

So, Zhao County Magistrate said angrily: "What? Are you scared?"

"Just bet, bet, whoever is afraid of whom! Come!" The fat boy stretched out his palm unconvinced.

Zhao County Magistrate smiled and gave the fat guy who sold the coffin a high-five, which meant that the bet between the two was established, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.

……

The welcome ceremony of the new county magistrate ended in a thrill and nonsense like this. County magistrate Zhao and Master Liu also ordered everyone to disband, and they entered the county government office.

After returning to their respective rooms, the bookboy Zhao Fu asked County Magistrate Zhao strangely: "Boss, why did you bet with that coffin seller?"

"Hehehe... This is the way to do as the Romans do! What does it matter if I am joking with him?" County magistrate Zhao replied with a smile, and then took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Look, I just arrived, and the coffin seller came here to measure me. This Tai'an County is really not peaceful!" County magistrate Zhao picked up the dart from the table and looked at it carefully.

"It makes sense!" Xiao Liu, dressed as a bookboy Zhao Fu, nodded after hearing his boss's explanation.

"Look, this dart is quite sharp!" Magistrate Zhao handed the dart to Xiao Liu for a look.

After Xiao Liu took the dart, he observed it carefully, and said in his mouth: "Fortunately, boss, you are good at kung fu, if it were someone else, you would have died long ago!"
