Chapter XXXVIII

At this time, Zhang Chen, who was in charge of calculating the Mei's industry, walked over with a shocked face, forcibly endured the shock in his heart, and reported in a low voice: "Childe, our harvest this time is really too great! Just the five baht coins of the Meifu Mansion have 3.5 million yuan, as well as the title deeds of 20,000 acres of fertile land, gold, silver and bronze artifacts and countless ......."

Zhang Chen told the harvest of the Mei clan one by one, whether it was money, land, slaves, granges, weapons, armor, carriages, caravans, shops, everything and a huge amount. Zhou Tai and Pei Yuanshao, who were on the side, were shocked and couldn't close their mouths.

Gao Cheng also showed a smile on his face when he heard this, "Yes, after annexing the Mei family's family business, the Gao family will immediately become the number one force in Huai'an." By the way, don't let the shopkeepers of the Mei family's shops let them go, the caravans and shops of the Mei family are still inseparable from these people. ”

The Gao family was originally just a small family, and there were no talents in the family. When taking over the Mei family's business, it will inevitably be a little unsmooth, but with Gao Cheng, a strong man who kills the ninth-layer warrior who has trained his strength, the entire Huai'an City family has not moved, and he watched the Gao family slowly digest the Mei family's industry.

Back at home, Gao Cheng handed over all the trivial things outside to Gao Tai, and Gao Ying took some servants to do the big and small things in the house, and soon after, the dozens of people who were originally in the small village outside the city were also rescued by Gao Tai. Everyone returned out of the city with a reward of three thousand dollars and a look of excitement.

With these five baht money, it is enough for these people to live a good life.

"There is no need to rush to organize the county soldiers to attack the water thieves in Baima Lake for the time being, and it will be a month or two after the boat is ready, and I will try to strengthen some strength during this time. By the way, Mei Lin who deceived me at the beginning has already been killed, and there is also a Chen Yuan! Gao's two shops in Guangling City are in the hands of this person!"

As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but Gao Cheng admits that he is not a gentleman, and revenge is from morning to night. As soon as I thought of the name Chen Yuan, a nameless fire surged in my heart.

Chen Yuannai is a descendant of the Guangling Chen family, and he needs to plan well if he wants to deal with him. After all, the Guangling Chen family is the first family in Guangling County. Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son are all famous people in Xuzhou, and they have reached the level of soul refining realm. A pair of extraordinary is beyond the reach of other families in Guangling.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan is not a descendant of the Guangling Chen family, Gao Cheng should be careful, he should not provoke Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son. Next, Gao Cheng stayed at home and did not go out, and began to improve the Yang family's marksmanship, preparing to raise this martial art to the grandmaster level.

With the passage of time, the news that the Huai'an Mei clan was annexed by the Gao clan began to spread in Guangling County, and many children of the family and rangers knew about Gao Cheng's killing of the ninth-layer warrior with one move. His fame spread inadvertently.

Seven days later.

In the wide martial arts training ground, the shadow of the gun was heavy, roaring in the air with violent power, and the heavy iron spear was like a roaring poisonous dragon, causing a burst of air every time it was stabbed.

Gao Cheng has already raised the Yang family's marksmanship to the level of a grandmaster, and every move contains an incomparably tragic momentum, and ordinary people facing this set of marksmanship are afraid that just a few glances will be blank by the impact of the evil qi in it. Watching the spears whizz in, waiting to be harvested.

"Childe, Lu Dubo has arrived!" At this time, a maid came to report that this maid looked like a snow cream, her skin was like cream, and her appearance was pretty and lovely.

When he saw this maid, Gao Cheng was also secretly shocked that there was a beautiful girl hidden among the homeless people he brought back.

Gao Cheng took the sweat towel handed over by the girl, wiped his hands casually, and then said, "Yu'er, you go down first!

The girl's father's surname was Gan, and he was rescued from the bandit cottage by Gao Cheng with her, but her father could not bear the rush and died on the way back to Guangling. She is the only girl left to survive in this world.

After coming to Gaofu, Gao Ying deliberately took care of Sister Gan, who she met on the road, and deliberately made her Gao Cheng's handmaiden, usually only taking care of her son's daily life, and did not have to do those tiring chores.

"Yes, Childe!" Ganyu carefully put away the sweat towel and quickly left the martial arts training ground. After she left, Lu Hong walked over briskly in a strong suit.

Lu Hong's expression at this time was not as casual as before, and he looked respectful. Ever since he knew that Gao Cheng had killed the master of the Mei clan and became the temporary county lieutenant, he quickly corrected his identity in his heart.

"My subordinates meet the county lieutenant!" Lu Hong bowed.

Gao Cheng waved his hand a little speechlessly, and said: "Brother Zizheng, there is no need to be so polite between you and me, besides, whether I, the county lieutenant, have been appointed by the imperial court, you are not my subordinate!"

Seeing that the other party's attitude towards him had not changed much, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his mind, and said with a smile: "As long as the son exterminates the water thieves in Baima Lake, it is not a matter of time before he becomes a county lieutenant." ”

Gao Cheng said: "Let's talk about these things later, what I asked you to inquire about, have you inquired clearly?"

Lu Hong habitually glanced around and saw that there was no one, so he whispered: "I have inquired clearly, I have already used the 100,000 yuan that Gongzi gave me a few days ago to buy a few rangers in Guangling, and they said that Chen Yuan had something to do and was preparing to go to Xiapi." ”

However, he did not choose the road of Huai'an, but prepared to take the salt desecration in the east. If Childe wants to deal with him, he needs to travel hundreds of miles to the territory of Yandu!"

Gao Cheng couldn't see any expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It's really hard for you to hear the news so quickly, I said at the beginning, if Brother Zizheng is willing to help, I will agree to a condition that is not too much, I don't know if you have thought about it?"

Lu Hong said a little embarrassed: "I really have one thing I want to trouble Gongzi, I have a clan brother who is more than 20 years old this year, has brute strength, and is very proficient in water, I heard that Gongzi is preparing to recruit soldiers, and is ready to train sailors to exterminate the bandits in Baima Lake, I wonder if Gongzi can take my clan brother into the account?"

Gao Cheng hesitated slightly, what Lu Hong said about the income account implied that after his clan brother joined the army, he could not be a big soldier, at least a small colonel who could obey orders in the military tent.

"Okay, I agreed to this matter, what is the name of your clan brother?" Gao Cheng thought about it, if Lu Hong's clan brother was useless, then he should just raise an idler. Anyway, this sailor is not a soldier recognized by the imperial court. After strangling the White Horse Lake water thieves, he became Gao's private soldier. It doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less.

Lu Hong hurriedly said: "My brother's name is Lu Dai, and the word is Dinggong! I will let him come to Gongzi's door tomorrow to listen to it!"

"Lu Dai?This name seems to be a little familiar, could it be that he is also a future famous general or a famous minister?" Gao Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this name. The powerful spiritual power suddenly searched for the previous memories.
