After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

Master Zhao thought that Magistrate Li was trying to compromise by holding a banquet today. Unexpectedly, his temper became much more hardened, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Who gave him confidence?

Magistrate Li held up the quilt in his hand and said calmly: "I have said everything that needs to be said. You are all smart people. If you drink this cup together, you will be a good subject of the Wei Dynasty."

The king is the guide for the subjects, and the father is the guide for the son.

Once again, I learned with reason and moved with emotion.

Is it appropriate to spend a lot of time as a son, marrying concubines from eighteen different families, and then spend nothing when the government office needs money?

He urges donations not for himself, but for the people around him.

The merchants had gloomy faces, and everyone had a glass of wine in front of their seat. Looking left and right, no one was drinking.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Li said: "My wife has invited your wives and children to be guests. Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should think about your wives and children at home."

Everyone's faces were ashen... This was a threat, a naked threat!

At this moment, the waiter came to report that someone from the Wang family was here.

"Brother Li, long time no see. How could you forget me when you invite me to have a drink?" Wang Zhi's hearty laughter came.

Magistrate Li was startled. He did not invite Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi had already asked the waiter to add a chair and a set of tableware to him.

Others were also shocked. Why is Wang Zhi here?

With the authority of County Magistrate Li, it was okay to take care of the merchants in Qingshan Town, but it was not enough to take care of Wang Zhi.

Someone from the Wang family is an official in the court, and his official position is much higher than that of County Magistrate Li.

So, Wang Zhi came here on his own?

What is he doing here?

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Wang Zhi first drank the wine in front of him, and then said: "What were you talking about just now? Can I, Wang, get involved?"

"This" everyone looked at each other, shopkeeper Zhao said cautiously: "This is the bridge that the imperial court ordered to build. The government office ran out of money during the repair, so the county magistrate wanted me to raise the money."

Before he could complain, Wang Zhi said: "Isn't that great? As a citizen of the Wei Dynasty, when encountering such a thing, we should contribute. Well, I, Wang, will take the lead in donating 10,000 taels."

As an aristocratic family in Qingzhou, the Wang family is far more important in the eyes of local people than Magistrate Li, a foreign magistrate.

Now that Wang Zhi is taking the lead in donating, it doesn't seem right for them not to hesitate, and since Wang Zhi asked for 10,000 taels when he opened his mouth, it's hard for them to give too little.

Everyone felt pain in their faces. The county magistrate didn't even call you. Are you here to spread your wealth?

What a prodigal approach!

Wang Zhicai didn't care so much. Zhang Jinyue came to the academy today and told him about this matter, fearing that County Magistrate Li would not be able to suppress them.

Hey, sure enough!

"Let's do this, I'll pay five thousand taels." Shopkeeper Zhao gritted his teeth.

Others all agreed, saying five thousand taels.

Wang Zhi was not satisfied. He glanced at everyone and said to shopkeeper Tong: "I heard that you recently married a concubine in the 18th room?"

Shopkeeper Tong is about to cry but has no tears. Why did he just take a concubine and now everyone knows about it?

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add another three thousand taels."

Wang Zhi looked at Shopkeeper Zhao again, and just as he was about to say something, Shopkeeper Zhao caught his eye and said, "I'll also add another three thousand taels."

The others' scalps were numb, and they all followed the example of Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Zhao, and each added three thousand taels of silver to their own.

Together with the ten thousand taels borrowed from the bank and the ten thousand taels donated by Wang Zhi, we finally collected one hundred thousand taels of silver.
