Sitting in the study room in the mansion, Chen Xiaoting looked at the invitation sent by the Duan family, and secretly said that these people were really fast.

"Master, whose invitation is it?" Shen Yi came to the front with a teacup.

Chen Xiaoting handed her the invitation, and then said, "It's still the people of these three major families, they can't afford to be early, guess what they asked me to do?" ”

After reading the invitation, Shen Yi said: "You, the newly appointed hundred, if they were interested, they should have invited you a long time ago, and now I am afraid that it will be a remedy!"

When Chen Xiaoting heard this, he couldn't help laughing, only to hear him say: "It's still my wife who understands me best!" ”

Shen Yi is worthy of being born in a big family, and she can see the intentions of these people at a glance, and she happened to be right by her.

Shen Yi glanced at her husband, and then said, "If the concubine guesses well, they may also plan to give that team of dancing girls to the master, as long as the master likes it!" ”

Listening to this, it tasted a little jealous, and Chen Xiaoting didn't want to talk to Shen Yi more.

I saw him stand up, take the teacup and drink it all before saying, "Madame, don't think too much, let's go...... Look at Ruiling and Trickle Go! ”

This really puzzled Shen Yi, so she asked, "Master not going to the banquet?" ”

Chen Xiaoting stopped and said, "Of course I want to go!" ”

"But in half an hour, the feast will begin!" Shen Yi was puzzled.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting held his wife's shoulders, helped him straighten his forehead and said: "Then let them wait honestly, they will already give them a lot of face if they can go!" ”

Shen Yi nodded, her husband was talking about big things with these people, and this might be to give these people a disadvantage.

I have to say that Shen Yi guessed correctly, when the time for the banquet came half an hour later, Duan Guoan and the other three had already been in place for a while.

After the stage was set up, he was waiting for the singing, and then Ning Youyan couldn't help asking, "Brother Duan, did Lord Chen agree to come over?" ”

Duan Guoan nodded, and the person he had just sent came to report, saying that Chen Xiaoting had agreed to his invitation.

In order to show their importance to this banquet, the three of them carefully prepared the program, and at the same time called the outstanding children and nephews of the family over.

At this time, the time for the banquet had arrived, but Chen Xiaoting was not present, and the juniors sitting behind Duan Guoan and the three of them were buzzing at this time.

Hou Pingshan couldn't listen to it, so he scolded: "Quiet, what kind of system is it to be noisy?" ”

After all, Hou Pingshan is an elder, and he is also the head of the Hou family, so his reprimand easily suppressed the discussion.

Then Hou Pingshan said to Duan Guoan: "Brother Duan, Chen Baihu promised but hasn't come over yet, what does this mean?" ”

What's the point, of course, is to dry yourself for a while, so that you can sober up!

Even if he held a banquet in his own home, he Chen Xiaoting was the one who could call the shots, and this was the truth that Duan Guoan realized.

So his face was calm, he picked up the teacup and said, "Don't panic, Lord Chen is delayed for a while, let's wait for a long time!" ”

Hou Pingshan didn't say much, what else could he do except wait, he couldn't leave first, right?

Time passes, and more and more people lose patience, but are firmly bound to their positions.

After waiting for about an hour, a message came from outside the garden that the distinguished guest had arrived today.

So in this instant, there was a look of dissatisfaction on his face, or he was full of tiredness, and they all cheered up and prepared to welcome Chen Xiaoting's arrival.

Originally, Duan Guoan and the three of them planned to go out to greet them, but who knew that when they walked to the gate of the garden, they saw that Chen Xiaoting had already brought someone in.

This is the first time in five years that Duan Guoan and several people have seen Chen Xiaoting again.

In my memory, the arrogant and domineering little flag officer of the Jinyi Guard has now become a hundred Jinyi Guards, and they need to bow down to meet them.

"My lord is coming, I am waiting for a long time, and I ask my lord to forgive me!" Duan Guoan opened his mouth to confess.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was dressed in light blue civilian clothes, followed by more than a dozen guards with knives, diluting the bookish atmosphere that he should have in this dress.

"This official is late, don't blame you!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

At this time, who dared to blame him, I saw Hou Pingshan on the side with a smiling face and said: "My lord, please please come here!" ”

Then Chen Xiaoting was led to the middle of the front row, and at this time, the stage for the performance in front of him had been set up, and he just waited for him to come and start singing.

And the children of the three families standing in the back saw that Chen Xiaoting was about the same age as them, which made many of them drop their jaws in shock.

After Chen Xiaoting sat down, Duan Guoan and the three sat down, and finally the juniors of the three families sat down.

Just listening to Duan Guoan's clapping, the band placed behind the stage began to play, and after a while, two martial artists came out from behind the scenes.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but say to Duan Guoan on the side: "Didn't you say to enjoy the dance?" Could it be the martial arts of martial arts? ”

Duan Guoan was a little embarrassed at this time, and only heard him say: "My lord, Wule is the finale, let's watch the play first!" ”

The big family likes these tunes, but Chen Xiaoting doesn't like them, but it feels good to listen to them.

Chen Xiaoting was fascinated by what he heard, but Duan Guoan and the three of them had a lot to say, so their minds were not on the stage.

When the second scene came, Duan Guoan finally couldn't help but say, "My lord, there is something to ask below!" ”

Chen Xiaoting looked at the stage with melon seeds in his mouth, and said casually: "Say it!"

Under the attention of Hou Pingshan and Ning Youyan, Duan Guoan asked, "My lord, have there been continuous mutual fights between the three gangs in the city recently?" ”

Chen Xiaoting put down the melon seeds, picked up the teacup on the side and said, "I know, what's wrong?" ”

Duan Guoan then complained: "My lord doesn't know, these gangs are doing nonsense and disrupting the livelihood of the people in the city, and everyone is miserable!" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Xiaoting immediately applauded: "Okay...... Well played! ”

It turned out that on the stage at this time, a martial artist was playing a knife wonderfully, and Chen Xiaoting's reaction was like an old drama fan.

After cheering, Chen Xiaoting asked, "Master Duan, what did you say?" ”

Duan Guo was very unhappy, but he still repeated: "My lord, I said that these gangs fought to the death, and they hurt the people in the city!" ”

At this time, I heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Your Master Duan only cares about his own business, how can he care about the people now?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiaoting said: "Moreover, if the gang gathers to fight, you should go to the government and say that the security in the city is under their control!" ”

The security in the city is under the control of the government, but these three gangs should be in charge of you, isn't it just a matter of your words to let them stop? Duan Guo scolded in peace.

At this time, the juniors of the three families also paid attention to the conversation in front of them, and this was a rare opportunity for them to learn.

"My lord, but they ......"

Without waiting for Duan Guoan to continue, he heard Chen Xiaoting say: "You came to me today to come over and have something to say, and this official has something to say to you today!" ”

So Duan Guoan didn't continue to speak, but said humbly: "Please also show me!" ”

Chen Xiaoting was still staring at the stage, only listening to him: "How Chen Benxian's family died, you must all know it!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of everyone present were heavy, and the demise of the Chen family had brought a great shadow to them.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting continued: "The Chen family colluded with the White Lotus Sect to rebel and sell controlled weapons and other items outside the customs, which is a capital crime!" ”

"This official knows that the three of you have a big business and a bigger business, but I hope you will remember the lessons of the past and know what to do and what not to do!"

"There are many ways to make money, but you have to control your minions and don't cause trouble for yourself, understand?"

These words can be regarded as heart-to-heart, and of course Duan Guoan and the three of them understood.

Chen Xiaoting has only one meaning, that is, don't collude with the White Lotus Sect, and don't collude with outside the border.

If you do these two things, you don't have to worry about your own safety, otherwise you will be killing yourself.

The three of them naturally did not collude with the White Lotus Sect, but they did not do much to dump controlled items such as grain, salt, and iron outside the customs, so the three of them were sweating in their palms at this time.

Now it seems that the losses caused by the gangs in the city are not important at all, and the issue of the family is now related to the survival of the family.

Therefore, at this time, Guoan said solemnly: "Lord Chen, don't worry, what should be done and what should not be done, we all know that we will never take a step beyond the thunder pool!" ”

Hou Pingshan and Ning Youyan immediately made the same statement, at this time, they just wanted to go back and sort out the business quickly, and what they shouldn't do must not be contaminated again.

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said, "It's time to dance, right?" ”

Duan Guoan nodded again and again, and shouted to the backstage: "Dance, dance!" ”
