Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1374 - 1198: Go Inside_2

"Look at how stingy you all are. Old brother, if you take me inside, I’ll give you fifty silver taels right away."

The person speaking was obviously much more generous. You have to know that fifty taels these days are not a small amount; in later times, it would definitely exceed 5000 yuan.

This hefty sum just to take a look inside is indeed quite extravagant, to be honest.

However, it’s evident that to such words and such a request, the fat man didn’t take it to heart at all. He truly didn’t care about this amount of money.

But although he didn’t care about this money, he didn’t want to refuse the other party either.

He was waiting for that person to speak. After that person spoke, he would nod in agreement to take them inside for a walk, which was his trap for them.

Sure enough, amidst the discussions, the richer guy also spoke up simultaneously, wanting the person to take him inside too.

As for the price? He was also willing to pay fifty taels. After all, the price has already been called up to fifty taels, any lower and it would feel embarrassing to speak up.

Upon seeing this, the fat man didn’t show too much excitement; instead, he glanced around at the crowd and then looked at the soldiers before saying with a feigned difficulty:

"It’s not that I can’t take you all inside, but indeed it’s somewhat challenging for me. This fifty silver taels, as you can see, I don’t lack a bit of silver, and I don’t care much for it.

However, many of us have been friends for years. Regarding this, it’s not good to leave you outside. When brothers have requests, if I don’t help, I wouldn’t be considered quite righteous.

Of course, I can accept these fifty taels, but this money won’t go into my pocket; it will go to those soldiers.

Not only do we need these fifty taels, but I might also have to add a little more, but who lets us be close friends?

So now, a few of you should walk with me. Of course, more than this won’t work, after all, I’m just an ordinary civilian.

If those soldiers don’t give me face, there’s nothing I can do.

Of course, one thing to clarify beforehand, once inside, you must listen to me completely and can’t wander around, as there are soldiers patrolling inside.

If caught and your identity is found not to belong here, the consequences will be very serious."

Upon hearing these words, the few people around immediately brightened up, their faces filled with joy, thinking that this time, they could indeed enter. As for these fifty silver taels, for each of them, it wasn’t a big deal, and the uncle could easily hand it over.

Precisely for this reason, the fat man accepted them all without refusal, only that he didn’t put them in his pocket.

Just as he had said, after greeting everyone, he turned and walked toward the community, swiftly leading them to a corner, a corner that no one noticed.

Then he fished out several large silver ingots from his sleeve, the same silver given by those wanting to enter, passing them all to a soldier with a smile and said:

"We’ve known each other for quite a while, this is to show respect to you, some little regard, hope you won’t refuse it."

Weighing the heavy silver in hand, the soldier frowned directly, looked at the fat man, and said:

"Don’t play these tricks with me. Although we’ve known each other for so long, if you want me to do illegal things, I won’t do it, and I won’t let such things happen.

You must know, His Majesty checks up on us nowadays. If truly discovered, waiting for me wouldn’t be just a matter of beheading."

For such a small amount of silver, it’s not worth taking such risks, hope you understand my meaning?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man naturally understood the severe consequences.

He also knew this was indeed a result of the current emperor.

Currently, inspection teams are very numerous, appearing around you at any time, anywhere.

For these reasons, the soldier was quite apprehensive, not daring to rashly accept these silver taels.

If once asked to do anything against military discipline, it would lead to severe consequences, making life worse than death, not worth risking one’s future for such a small amount of silver.

But evidently, this silver was not a small amount, indeed enticing him, yet with military discipline in mind, he dared not violate it, hence his words.

Upon hearing these, the fat man immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, no, no, officer, don’t misunderstand. These aren’t bribes for you, rather a little regard, for buying some tea for brothers to drink. Here, I want to go home once, and take a few relatives inside.

Won’t trouble you, officer, and won’t cause any trouble for you, it’ll let them come out quickly."

After these words, the soldier frowned, looked at him, and asked:

"Are you sure you won’t cause trouble? Sure they’re your relatives?"

This time, the fat man laughed and scratched his big head, saying:

"Hehe, definitely, my few relatives just want to get inside to see, to see how good it is, afterwards they might choose to buy a house and settle here, then they could be considered owners.

So when they come in, officer won’t need to bother, just follow public procedures."

After these words, how could the soldier not understand the meaning?

The other party understood, they intended to bring in those interested in purchasing property.

Of course, regarding what the fat man said later, if these people truly became owners here, then it’s no longer of concern to him.

At that time, if these people want to come in, it’s free to do so, such small matters he could decide, yet for safety’s sake, he couldn’t just let it go, directly nodding to the fat man and saying:

"But don’t let it take too long, many unexpected things can happen, to avoid prolonged difficulties, go in for a quick stroll and come out quickly.

Additionally, for safety’s sake, we’ll have someone follow you."

Evidently, the soldier agreed, certainly related to the hefty silver in his hand.

Without this silver, the soldier wouldn’t agree in any case, naturally, after his words, he unwittingly stuffed the silver into his bosom.

Never again paying the fat man any heed, he turned back to his post, only with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing this, the fat man knew it must have worked, gleefully rejoining the outside crowd, saying to those who gave him silver:

"It’s settled, but act low-key, don’t cause trouble, otherwise, no one can save you."

"Not only you, but even I will be implicated."
